文摘The worm wheel whose undercutting characteristic is researched is a member of offsetting normal arc-toothed cylindrical worm drive.The tooth profile of the worm in its offsetting normal section is a circular arc.The normal vector used to calculate the first-type limit function is determined in the natural frame without the aid of the curvature parameter of worm helicoid.The first-type limit line is ascertained via solving the nonlinear equations iteratively.It is discovered that one first-type limit line exists on the tooth surface of worm wheel by numerical simulation,and such a line is normally located out of the meshing zone.Only one intersection point exists between the first and second-types of limit lines,and this point is a lubrication weak point.The undercutting mechanism is essentially that a part of the meshing zone near the conjugated line of worm tooth crest will come into the undercutting area and will be cut off during machining the worm wheel.The machining simulation verifies the correctness of undercutting mechanism.Moreover,a convenient and practical characteristic quantity is proposed to judge whether the undercutting exists in the whole meshing zone via computing the first-type limit function values on the worm tooth crest.

文摘Negative Poisson ratio(NPR)steel is a new material with high strength and toughness.This study conducted tensile tests at elevated temperatures to investigate the mechanical properties of NPR steel at high temperatures.The stress−strain curve,ultimate strength,yield strength,modulus of elasticity,elongation after fracture,and percentage reduction of area of NPR steel bars were measured at 9 different temperatures ranging from 20 to 800℃.The experimental results indicate that high-temperature environments significantly affect the mechanical properties of NPR steel.However,compared to other types of steel,NPR steel exhibits better resistance to deformation.When the test temperature is below 700℃,NPR steel exhibits a ductile fracture characteristic,while at 800℃,it exhibits a brittle fracture characteristic.Finally,based on the experimental findings,a constitutive model suitable for NPR steel at high temperatures is proposed.

文摘Finding appropriate flotation reagents to separate copper-nickel sulfide ores from various magnesium silicate gangue minerals has always been a challenge in the mineral processing industry.This study introduced xanthan gum(XG)as a non-toxic and environmentally friendly depressant of talc,olivine,and serpentine.The effects and mechanisms of XG on the aggregation and flotation behavior of talc,olivine and serpentine were investigated by flotation tests,sedimentation tests,IC-FBRM particle size analysis tests,adsorption quantity tests,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)tests,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analysis tests and Zeta potential tests.The flotation results indicated that when the three minerals were mixed,XG caused the talc-serpentine aggregation in the solution to shift to olivine-serpentine aggregation,with the remaining XG adsorbing on talc to depress its flotation.In addition,combining XPS and zeta potential tests,the-OH(hydroxyl)groups in XG molecules preferentially adsorbed on Mg sites on the surface of olivine through chemical bonding.The surface potential of olivine significantly shifted to a more negative value,with the negative charge on the olivine surface far exceeding that on the talc surface.This resulted in an increased aggregation effect between positively charged serpentine and negatively charged olivine due to enhanced electrostatic forces.
文摘The reaction of Mg^(2+)and 5-{1,3-dioxo-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2(3H)-yl}terephthalic acid(H_(2)L)leads to two metal-organic frameworks,[Mg(L)(DMF)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]_(2)·5DMF·2H_(2)O(1)with a 1D structure and[Mg_(2)(L)_(2)(DMSO)_(3)(H_(2)O)](2)with a 2D(4,4)-net structure.Interestingly,the two compounds exhibit distinct luminescent responses to external mechanical stimuli.1 exhibited exceptional resistance mechanical chromic luminescence(RMCL),which can be attributed to the predominant hydrogen bonds and the presence of high-boiling-point solvent molecules within its structure.2 had a reversible MCL property,which can be attributed to the dominantπ-πweak interactions,coupled with the reversible destruction/restoration of its crystallinity under grinding/fumigation.CCDC:2410963,1;2410964,2.
文摘Sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)have emerged as a promising alternative to commercial lithium-ion batteries be-cause of the similar properties of Li and Na as well as the abundance and accessibility of sodium resources.The devel-opment of anode materials with a high capacity,excellent rate performance,and long cycle life is the key to the indus-trialization of SIBs.Biomass-derived carbon(BDC)anode materials synthesized from resource-rich,low-cost,and re-newable biomass have been extensively researched and their excellent sodium storage performance has been proven,making them the most promising new low-cost and high-performance anode material for SIBs.This review first intro-duces the sources of BDCs,including waste biomass such as plants,animals,and microorganisms,and then describes sev-eral methods for preparing BDC anode materials,including carbonization,chemical activation,and template methods.The storage mechanism and kinetic process of Na^(+)in BDCs are then considered as well as their structure control.The electrochemical properties of sodium-ion storage in BDCs with different structures are examined,and suggestions for future re-search are made.
文摘The effects of different warm rolling(WR)reductions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low-Cr FeCrAl alloys at both room and elevated temperatures were investigated.The study revealed that when the WR reduction is small,it effectively refines the grains and forms a large number of subgrains in the matrix,while also inducing the dissolution of the Laves phase.This enhances the mechanical properties of FeCrAl alloys primarily through grain refinement and solid solution strengthening.Conversely,with larger WR reductions,the grain refinement effect diminishes,but a significant number of Laves phases form in the matrix,strengthening the alloys primarily through precipitation strengthening.WR exhibited a remarkable enhancing effect on the comprehensive mechanical properties at both room and high temperatures,with a signi-ficant enhancement in ductility at high temperatures.Notably,a 10%WR reduction resulted in the optimal overall mechanical properties at both room and elevated temperatures.

文摘The accepted doping ion in Ti^(4+)-site of PbZr_(y)Ti_(1–y)O_(3)(PZT)-based piezoelectric ceramics is a well-known method to increase mechanical quality factor(Q_(m)),since the acceptor coupled by oxygen vacancy becomes defect dipole,which prevents the domain rotation.In this field,a serious problem is that generally,Qm decreases as the temperature(T)increases,since the oxygen vacancies are decoupled from the defect dipoles.In this work,Q_(m) of Pb_(0.95)Sr_(0.05)(Zr_(0.53)Ti_(0.47))O_(3)(PSZT)ceramics doped by 0.40%Fe_(2)O_(3)(in mole)abnormally increases as T increases,of which the Qm and piezoelectric coefficient(d_(33))at room temperature and Curie temperature(TC)are 507,292 pC/N,and 345℃,respectively.The maximum Qm of 824 was achieved in the range of 120–160℃,which is 62.52%higher than that at room temperature,while the dynamic piezoelectric constant(d_(31))was just slightly decreased by 3.85%.X-ray diffraction(XRD)and piezoresponse force microscopy results show that the interplanar spacing and the fine domains form as temperature increases,and the thermally stimulated depolarization current shows that the defect dipoles are stable even the temperature up to 240℃.It can be deduced that the aggregation of oxygen vacancies near the fine domains and defect dipole can be stable up to 240℃,which pins domain rotation,resulting in the enhanced Q_(m) with the increasing temperature.These results give a potential path to design high Q_(m) at high temperature.

文摘Graphene nanoplatelets(GNPs)have attracted tremendous interest due to their unique properties and bonding capabilities.This study focuses on the effect of GNP dispersion on the mechanical,thermal,and morphological behavior of GNP/epoxy nanocomposites.This study aims to understand how the dispersion of GNPs affects the properties of epoxy nanocomposite and to identify the best dispersion approach for improving mechanical performance.A solvent mixing technique that includes mechanical stirring and ultrasonication was used for producing the nanocomposites.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate the interaction between GNPs and the epoxy matrix.The measurements of density and moisture content were used to confirm that GNPs were successfully incorporated into the nanocomposite.The findings showed that GNPs are successfully dispersed in the epoxy matrix by combining mechanical stirring and ultrasonication in a single step,producing well-dispersed nanocomposites with improved mechanical properties.Particularly,the nanocomposites at a low GNP loading of 0.1 wt%,demonstrate superior mechanical strength,as shown by increased tensile properties,including improved Young's modulus(1.86 GPa),strength(57.31 MPa),and elongation at break(4.98).The nanocomposite with 0.25 wt%GNP loading performs better,according to the viscoelastic analysis and flexural properties(113.18 MPa).Except for the nanocomposite with a 0.5 wt%GNP loading,which has a higher thermal breakdown temperature,the thermal characteristics do not significantly alter.The effective dispersion of GNPs in the epoxy matrix and low agglomeration is confirmed by the morphological characterization.The findings help with filler selection and identifying the best dispersion approach,which improves mechanical performance.The effective integration of GNPs and their interaction with the epoxy matrix provides the doorway for additional investigation and the development of sophisticated nanocomposites.In fields like aerospace,automotive,and electronics where higher mechanical performance and functionality are required,GNPs'improved mechanical properties and successful dispersion present exciting potential.

文摘Lonsdaleite,also known as hexagonal diamond,is an allotrope of carbon with a hexagonal crystal structure,which was discovered in the nanostructure of the Canyon Diablo meteorite.Theoretical calculations have shown that this structure gives it exceptional physical properties that exceed those of cubic diamond,making it highly promising for groundbreaking applications in superhard cutting tools,wide-bandgap semiconductor devices,and materials for extreme environments.As a result,the controllable synthesis of hexagonal diamond has emerged as a cutting-edge research focus in materials science.This review briefly outlines the progress in this area,with a focus on the mechanisms governing its key synthesis conditions,its intrinsic physical properties,and its potential applications in various fields.
文摘To improve the oxidation resistance of HfB_(2)-SiC coatings on carbon/carbon composites at 1700°C in air,CeO_(2) was introduced to improve oxygen blocking and its mechanism was investigated.During the rapid oxidation stage,CeO_(2) accelerated the formation of a multiphase glass layer on the coating surface.The maximum oxidation rates of CeO_(2)-HfB2-SiC coatings with 1%,3%,and 5%CeO_(2) were 24.1%,20.3%,and 53.2%higher than that of the unmodified HfB2-SiC coating,respectively.In the stable oxidation stage,the maximum oxidation rates of coatings with 1%and 3%CeO_(2) decreased by 31.4%and 21.9%,respectively,demonstrating adequate inert protection.CeO_(2) is a“coagulant”and“stabilizer”in the composite glass layer.However,increasing the CeO_(2) content accelerates the reaction between the SiO_(2) glass phase and SiC,leading to a higher SiO_(2) consumption and reduced self-healing ability of the glass layer.The 1%CeO_(2)-60%HfB2-39%SiC coating showed improved glass layer viscosity and stability,moderate SiO_(2) consumption,and better self-healing ability,significantly boosting the oxidation protection of the coating.
文摘The concept of TNT(Trinitrotoluene,C_7H_5N_3O_6)equivalence is often invoked to evaluate the performance and predict the explosion parameters of different types of explosives.However,due to its low prediction accuracy and limited application range,the use of TNT equivalence for predicting explosion parameters in a confined space is rare.Compared with explosions in free fields,the process of explosive energy release in a confined space is closely related to various factors such as oxygen balance,combustible components content,and surrounding oxygen content.Studies have shown that in a confined space,negative oxygen balance explosives react with surrounding oxygen during afterburning,resulting in additional energy release and enhanced blast effects.The mechanism of energy release during afterburning is highly complex,making it challenging to determine the TNT equivalence for blast effects in a confined space.Therefore,this remains an active area of research.In this study,internal blast experiments were conducted using TNT and three other explosives under both air and N_2(Nitrogen)conditions to obtain explosion parameters including blast wave overpressure,quasi-static pressure,and temperature.The influences of oxygen balance and external oxygen content on energy release are analyzed.The author proposes principles for determining TNT equivalence for internal explosions while verifying the accuracy of obtained blast parameters through calculations based on TNT equivalence.These findings can serve as references for predicting blast performance.

文摘Premature senescence in Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt)cotton has emerged as a significant challenge to the formation and realization of fiber yield and quality since its commercialization in 1997.Initially,premature senescence was thought to be an inherent trait associated with the Bt gene.However,subsequent research and practice have demonstrated that it is not directly linked to the Bt gene but rather results from a physiological imbalance between the sink and source,as well as between the root and shoot in Bt cotton.This short review provides an overview of the causes,mechanisms,and control measures for premature senescence in Bt cotton.It offers valuable insights for future research and the sustainable application of transgenic crops.

文摘The advancement of planar micro-supercapacitors(PMSCs)for micro-electromechanical systems(MEMS)has been significantly hindered by the challenge of achieving high energy and power densities.This study addresses this issue by leveraging screen-printing technology to fabricate high-performance PMSCs using innovative composite ink.The ink,a synergistic blend of few-layer graphene(Gt),carbon black(CB),and NiCo_(2)O_(4),was meticulously mixed to form a conductive and robust coating that enhanced the capacitive performance of the PMSCs.The optimized ink formulation and printing process result in a micro-supercapacitor with an exceptional areal capacitance of 18.95 mF/cm^(2)and an areal energy density of 2.63μW·h/cm^(2)at a current density of 0.05 mA/cm^(2),along with an areal power density of 0.025 mW/cm^(2).The devices demonstrated impressive durability with a capacitance retention rate of 94.7%after a stringent 20000-cycle test,demonstrating their potential for long-term applications.Moreover,the PMSCs displayed excellent mechanical flexibility,with a capacitance decrease of only 3.43%after 5000 bending cycles,highlighting their suitability for flexible electronic devices.The ease of integrating these PMSCs into series and parallel configurations for customized power further underscores their practicality for integrated power supply solutions in various technologies.

文摘With the growing awareness of environmental protection and the increasing demand for rare earth elements(REEs),it has become necessary to efficiently remove and recover REEs from mine wastewater.In this study,jarosite(Jar)and schwertmannite(Sch)were biosynthesized using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans for the adsorption of REEs.Additionally,the adsorption capacities of Jar and Sch for La^(3+),Ce^(3+),Pr^(3+),Nd^(3+),Sm^(3+),Gd^(3+),Dy^(3+),and Y^(3+)in mine wastewater were improved by mechanical activation.XRD,FTIR,BET,and SEM-EDS analyses revealed that mechanical activation did not alter the phase of the material,but increased the amount of surface-OH and SO42−groups,as well as the specific surface area.This significantly enhanced the adsorption performance of Jar and Sch for REEs.The optimum adsorption time and pH were determined through batch adsorption experiments.Besides,the adsorption kinetics were studied and found to align well with the pseudo-second-order model.Furthermore,the thermodynamic parameters(ΔG^(Θ),ΔH^(Θ)andΔS^(Θ))and adsorption isotherms were analyzed.The results indicated that mechanically activated schwertmannite(M-Sch)exhibited superior adsorption performance for REEs compared to mechanically activated jarosite(M-Jar).Moreover,M-Sch was reusable and exhibited high adsorption efficiency of REEs in actual mine wastewater,exceeding 92%.

文摘In this study,a series of triaxial tests are conducted on sandstone specimens to investigate the evolution of their mechanics and permeability characteristics under the combined action of immersion corrosion and seepage of different chemical solutions.It is observed that with the increase of confining pressure,the peak stress,dilatancy stress,dilatancy stress ratio,peak strain,and elastic modulus of the sandstone increase while the Poisson ratio decreases and less secondary cracks are produced when the samples are broken.The pore pressure and confining pressure have opposite influences on the mechanical properties.With the increase of the applied axial stress,three stages are clearly identified in the permeability evolution curves:initial compaction stage,linear elasticity stage and plastic deformation stage.The permeability reaches the maximum value when the highest volumetric dilatancy is obtained.In addition,the hydrochemical action of salt solution with pH=7 and 4 has an obvious deteriorating effect on the mechanical properties and induces the increase of permeability.The obtained results will be useful in engineering to understand the mechanical and seepage properties of sandstone under the coupled chemical-seepage-stress multiple fields.
