摘要：
The attainment of formability in ceramic welding presents an imposing quandary within the realm of the manufacturing industry. In this article, the laser welding of Al2O3 ceramics was carried out to compare and analyze the influence of laser power, welding speed, laser duty cycle, and other process parameters on the macroscopic morphology of the weld, weld cracking rate, and welded joint properties. The results show that Al2O3 ceramic welds have a greater tendency to cracking and that the laser power should be matched to the appropriate welding speed. When heat input increases, the weld cracking rate decreases and then increases. Ceramic welded joints with a weld cracking rate of less than 30 % and a bending strength of more than 4 MPa can be obtained when the heat input range is 17-20.5 J/mm for continuous laser welding or 20.5-24 J/mm for pulsed laser welding. In addition, under high heat input conditions, pulsed laser welding reduces the tendency for weld cracking compared to continuous laser.

The role of a shock generator in the fuel distribution of a scramjet engine is highly significant. In this article, the usage of the erected 3-lobe nozzle in the existence of a shock generator for fuel injection inside a supersonic combustion chamber is fully studied. A three-dimensional model of the extruded 3-lobe nozzle with two altitudes of 4 mm and 2 mm is produced to disclose the importance of the produced vortex upstream/downstream by the usage of the extruded injector. Comprehensive computational analysis is done to investigate the mixing efficiency and fuel diffusion of the proposed jet configuration. Impacts of the coaxial inward air jet on the hydrogen dispersion of the annual extruded 3-lobe injector are also revealed in the present research. The results of the flow structure indicate that the produced vortex upstream of the erected nozzle improves the fuel dispersion behind the hydrogen jet. Our findings show that the effects of injector height are more considerable than the use of an inner air jet for advance of the fuel mixing within the combustor of a scramjet engine.

Our aim with this paper is to model and investigate the vibration and damping of a new hybrid composite shell. The considered composite cylindrical shell includes an FGM anisogrid lattice shell perfectly filled with viscoelastic foams. The modeling of the lattice part composed of spiral and hoop ribs is accomplished according to a global continuous standard based on orthotropic deep shells. The distribution pattern of the metal and ceramic constituents along the lattice ribs is specified by a power law. The homogenizations between ceramic and metal phases within the ribs, as well as between the FGM lattice structure and foam, are governed by the rule of mixtures. Based on the transferred Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic scheme, the dynamic moduli of the foam portion are acquired. Because viscoelastic foam is a soft material, the higher-order shear deformation shell theory is used to estimate the system's displacement components. After emanating the dynamic equations by Hamilton's principle, the Chebyshev collocation-based semi-numerical method is implemented to detect the system's frequencies and loss factors. The comprehensive results show the role of each composite characteristic in the vibration and damping behavior of the defined structure.

摘要：
The current challenge in laser joining polymer and ceramic heterogeneous structures lies in their relatively low mechanical strength, primarily attributed to weak interface bonding. To address this issue, this paper proposes the application of ultrasonic vibration during the laser joining process of PET with both Si3N4 and Ti-coated Si3N4 sheets to enhance the interface bonding strength. Investigating the mechanisms underlying the enhancement of interface bonding strength due to ultrasonic vibration is crucial for improving the overall mechanical strength of the joints. It is found that the physical wetting thermodynamic conditions and chemical bond thermodynamic conditions for laser joining of PET to ceramics were the surface tension of ceramics higher than that of the molten PET and the variation in the Gibbs function less than -24.3 kcal/mol, respectively. Experimental results demonstrated that the bonding interface between Si3N4 sheet and PET exhibits only physical and mechanical bonding, with no evidence of new chemical bonds. However, XPS analysis detected new Ti-C bonds at the bonding interface of Ti-coated Si3N4 and PET. Furthermore, experimental results substantiated that ultrasonic vibration could improve the spreading wetting of PET melt on the Si3N4 surface, resulting in a 17 % increase in the bonded area of the weld seam. Additionally, ultrasonic vibration enhanced the molten PET filling into the blind hole structure on the Si3N4 surface, resulting in an approximately 73 % increase in the filling depth of the blind holes. Lastly, ultrasonic vibration facilitated the chemical reaction between the molten PET and Ti atoms, resulting in an approximately 57 % increase in the thickness of the interface containing Ti-C bonds. It is evident that ultrasonic vibration can bolster the interfacial bonding strength of PET/Si3N4 and PET/Ti-coated Si3N4 in laser joining. Moreover, in comparison to physical bonding, its more pronounced impact on mechanical and chemical bonding is noteworthy.

摘要：
Battery energy stored quasi-Z source cascaded H-bridge based photovoltaic power generation system combines advantages of quasi-z-source inverter, cascaded H-bridge, and battery energy storage system. However, the battery state of charge imbalance between the cascaded H-bridge inverter modules would reduce the system's performance and efficiency and potentially cause the system to fail. An integrated control technique of adaptive state of charge balancing based on gain scheduling and three-phase power balance of third harmonic injection based on fundamental frequency whole zero sequences is suggested for the quasi-Z source cascaded H-bridge battery storage system. Based on the mathematical relationship between the instantaneous state of charge of battery energy stored quasi-z-source cascaded H-bridge and the voltage reference value, this method updates the proportional controller gain in each sampling period. It combines the third harmonic injection method based on the fundamental frequency zero sequence to select the optimal modulation ratio Mn. Rapid state of charge balancing is accomplished without overmodulation while increasing the power balance range and decreasing DC link voltage swings. The simulation results validate the method's usefulness. The simulation results validate the proposed control method for ensuring power distribution between each phase and achieving a balanced state of charge of the battery energy stored quasi-Z source cascaded H-bridge photovoltaic system's battery energy storage.

摘要：
Mg-3Al-1Zn (AZ31) sheets were produced by transverse gradient extrusion (TGE) process. The flow behavior and dynamic recrystallization during extrusion were systematically analyzed. The microstructures, textures, and mechanical behavior of extruded AZ31 sheet were also analyzed and compared with conventional extruded (CE) sheet. The results showed that fine grain structure and multi-type unique textures were formed in TGE sheet because of the generation of extra flow velocity along transverse direction (TD) and flow velocity gradient along extrusion direction (ED) during extrusion. The basal poles gradually deviated away normal direction (ND) from edge to center of the TGE sheet along TD, and the largest inclination angle at center region reached around 65 degrees. Furthermore, the basal poles inclined from ED to TD 40 degrees-63 degrees, except for the center region of TGE sheet. The TGE sheet presented higher ductility and strain hardening exponent (n-value), but lower yield strength and Lankford value (r-value) in comparison with the CE sheet. Both the basal <a> slip and tensile twins were easy to be activated during deformation, and the largest elongation of 41% and the lowest yield strength of 86.5 MPa were obtained for the ED-center sample in the TGE sheet.
摘要：
In this study, we present a novel analysis approach for lattice composite cylindrical shells reinforced with Graphene Platelets (GPL) nanoparticles. Our primary contribution lies in the investigation of these advanced structures, incorporating nanocomposite reinforcement, orthotropic inhomogeneity, and semi-analytical methods. The lattice composite comprises an anisogrid lattice laminated shell, reinforced with functionally graded GPL. We model this structure using a global continuous orthotropic deep shell approach, integrating the Halpin-Tsai and rule of mixtures homogenization strategies to estimate equivalent mechanical properties. We derive theoretical formulations utilizing Reddy's third-order shear deformation theory and nonlinear Sanders' kinematic assumptions, tailored for deep thick shells. Nonlinear equilibrium equations are obtained using Hamilton's principle and Hooke's constitutive law, leading to linearized bifurcation equations through adjacent-equilibrium and membrane pre-buckling analysis. Our stability analysis employs a semi-analytical method combining trigonometric expansion and Chebyshev collocation functions. Validation through parametric ex -amples demonstrates the accuracy and efficiency of our approach, unveiling insights into the impact of lattice composite and geometric parameters on the stability response of these innovative structures.

摘要：
The research group utilized the estimation model of energy consumption capacity for reinforced concrete components without axial force to assess the energy consumption capacity of 92-reinforced concrete components from the PEER database, which were subjected to axial force and bending. The study also examined the impact of design parameters, including longitudinal reinforcement ratio, transverse reinforcement ratio, axial compression ratio, and shear-span ratio, on the estimation results. The research findings revealed that when applying the estimation model of energy consumption capacity for reinforced concrete components without axial force to calculate the energy consumption capacity of reinforced concrete components with axial force, there was a significant deviation rate in the estimation of cumulative energy consumption. The relationship between the deviation rate of cumulative energy consumption and longitudinal reinforcement ratio, axial compression ratio, and shear-span ratio remained unclear. However, a more apparent linear relationship was observed with the transverse reinforcement ratio. By conducting a quantitative analysis of the transverse reinforcement ratio, the researchers proposed an modified estimation model of energy consumption capacity for reinforced concrete components with axial force. Nonetheless, the accuracy of the modified estimation model was found to be high within the range of 0–250,000 kN mm of cumulative energy consumption. For cumulative energy consumption exceeding 250,000 kN mm, further experimental and theoretical research is still required to enhance the reliability of the modified estimation model.
摘要：
BACKGROUND: Respiratory mechanics monitoring provides useful information for guiding mechanical ventilation, but many measuring methods are inappropriate for awake patients. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of dynamic mechanics estimation using expiratory time constant (RC(exp)) calculation during noninvasivepressure support ventilation (PSV) with air leak in different lung models. METHODS: A Respironics V60 ventilator was connected to an active breathing simulator for modeling five profiles: normal adult, restrictive, mildly and severely obstructive, and mixed obstructive/restrictive. Inspiratory pressure support was adjusted to maintain tidal volumes (V(T)), achieving 5.0, 7.0, and 10.0ml/kg body weight. PEEP was set at 5 cmH(2)O, and the back-up rate was 10bpm. Measurements were conducted at system leaks of 25-28L/min. RC(exp) was estimated from the ratio at 75% exhaled V(T) and flow rate, which was then used to determine respiratory system compliance (C(rs)) and airway resistance (R(aw)). RESULTS: In non-obstructive conditions (R(aw) ≤ 10 cmH(2)O/L/s), the C(rs) was overestimated in the PSV mode. Peak inspiratory and expiratory flow and V(T) increased with PS levels, as calculated C(rs) decreased. In passive breathing, the difference of C(rs) between different V(T) was no significant. Underestimations of inspiratory resistance and expiratory resistance were observed at V(T) of 5.0ml/kg. The difference was minimal at V(T) of 7.0ml/kg. During non-invasive PSV, the estimation of airway resistance with the RC(exp) method was accurately at V(T) of 7.0ml/kg. CONCLUSIONS: The difference between the calculated C(rs) and the preset value was influenced by the volume, status and inspiratory effort in spontaneously breathing.
摘要：
Super-hard abrasive grinding is considered to be the main approach to realize precision and ultra-precision machining of difficult-to-machine materials such as cemented carbide, engineering ceramics, titanium alloys and superalloy materials encountered. However, heavy grinding force, high grinding temperature and poor surface integrity are prone to be encountered in conventional negative rake angle grinding of difficult-to-machine materials. In response to these problems, a novel concept of positive rake angle grinding is first proposed and an abrasive grain regularly arranged binder-less polycrystalline diamond face grinding wheel with positive rake angle has been designed and fabricated by femtosecond laser ablation. To evaluate the grinding performance of the face grinding wheel with positive rake angle, grinding experiments of YG8 cemented carbide are conducted and compared with the traditional electroplated diamond grinding tool with equivalent abrasive grain dimension and distribution. The results show that compared with the conventional negative rake angle grinding, the normal and tangential forces in positive rake angle face grinding are reduced by 30.3 % similar to 36.4 % and 21.1 % similar to 29.3 %, respectively, and the ratio of normal to tangential force is reduced by 12.6 % similar to 20.3 %. The surface roughness and average depth of subsurface metamorphic layer are also significantly smaller. The laser fabricated polycrystalline diamond face grinding wheel also has better wear resistance in the grinding of cemented carbide. Therefore, it can be concluded that better ground surface quality is obtained by the novel grinding wheel with positive rake angle. The innovative grinding method can fill the research gap on the grinding mechanism of positive rake angle grinding and further enrich the grinding theory of difficult-to-machine materials.

摘要：
A structure for joining thin-walled 6061-T6 aluminum alloy tube (outer tube) and Q195 steel tube (inner tube) by electromagnetic flanging process was proposed. The formation process, mechanical properties, failure modes, and morphology of the joint were investigated. The results showed that the outer tube impacted the inner tube, the flanges of the prefabricated holes on the outer tube were embedded into the prefabricated holes of the inner tube under the action of Lorentz force, and thus the mechanical locking joint was obtained. There were two tensile failure modes for the joints: Pull-out and fracture. Specifically, when the discharge energy was relatively high, the failure mode changed from pull-out to fracture. Combining the results of tensile tests and morphology observations, the maximum loads of the joints increased with the discharge energy. However, excessive discharge energy would lead to the brittle fracture of the inner tube, which was not beneficial to the service. Better discharge energy and the maximum load of the joint at this discharge energy were obtained.

摘要：
Wear resistance is a critical property of tool coatings for high-speed machining, which depends on mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of the coatings. Many works have demonstrated that AlTiSiN coating has good mechanical properties. Additionally, AlCrN coating exhibits excellent oxidation resistance. The multilayered structure has proved to improve comprehensive properties of the coatings. Therefore, AlCrN/AlTiSiN multilayer coating has a high potential to be used in machining applications. This paper focuses on the high-temperature tribological behavior of AlCrN/AlTiSiN multilayer coating. The results show that AlCrN/AlTiSiN coating exhibits good to acceptable wear resistance up to 800 degrees C. Meanwhile, AlCrN/AlTiSiN coating also displays the lowest friction coefficient of similar to 0.5 and a wear rate of 1.8 x 10(-6) mm(3)/N m at 800 degrees C, which is about 58.13% and 64.0% lower than that of AlCrN and AlTiSiN coatings, respectively. The imaging and composition analysis of the high-temperature wear tracks allowed for explaining the differences in wear mechanisms. At 800 degrees C, a dense thin tribofilm is formed on the surface of AlCrN/AlTiSiN coating, which acts as a glaze layer to impede wear. It provides a strategy for enhancing the wear resistance of monolayer coating in high temperatures, which combines the advantages of both high oxidation resistance of one layer and high hardness of the other layer.
摘要：
In this research, the nonlinear dynamics of a clamped circular composite plate placed on a softening elastic foundation under rapid thermal loading is investigated. In this situation, based on the amount of temperature supplied to the structure and the coefficients of softening elastic foundation, two instabilities may happen one after the other. The structure will thermally buckle and deform dynamically if the applied temperature exceeds a critical level. If the softening coefficient of the elastic foundation is critical, the structure will completely lose its stability after a certain deformation range. A polymer containing graphene platelets (GPL) makes up the system. Based on various functions, the volume fraction of fillers varies along the thickness. The system's nonlinear dynamic equations are obtained by applying Hamilton's principle and the Von-Karman theory. The transient heat conduction equation is solved by the cubic B-spline collocation (CBSC) and Crank- Nicolson procedures. The CBSC and the Newmark methods are used to solve spatially and temporally dependent governing nonlinear differential equations. Also, the Newton-Raphson method is used as a powerful tool to solve nonlinear algebraic equations. The temporal evolution, phase-plane, and post-buckling-to-maximum deflection paths are demonstrated to analyze the instabilities of the plate.

Magnetic pulse spot welding;Aluminium alloy sheet;Mechanical property;Micro-morphology
摘要：
Magnetic pulse spot welding (MPSW) is a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly process, which is very suitable for joining aluminium alloys. AA5052 aluminium alloy sheets were joined by MPSW. Specifically, the bump on the flyer plate was driven to impact the parent plate at high velocity to achieve metallurgical bonding. The formation process, mechanical properties and micro-morphology of the joint were studied. The results showed that the bump of the flyer plate impacted the parent plate at high velocity caused by Lorentz force to form welding seam. The shape of the welding seam was two incompletely continuous symmetrical elliptical arcs due to the different welding velocities and welding angles in each zone. The strength of the joint was higher than that of the base metal at appropriate process parameters. Specifically, the relatively better process parameters were welding gap of 1.4 mm, welding diameter of 16 mm and discharge energy of 36 kJ. The maximum loads of tensile shear and cross-tension were 4887 N, 1744 N. There were a large amount of dimples at the fracture of welding seam, and the toughness of joint was good.

摘要：
The milling parameters have an important influence on machining performance and surface quality of metal materials. In this paper, the differences in machining and corrosion resistance properties of ZK61M plates under different processing parameters were analyzed by side milling. The milling process was simulated to explore the change laws of milling temperature and milling force. The hardness of machined surface was examined by Vikers hardness tester. The surface quality and the corrosion performances under different spindle speeds were observed by 3D ultra-depth of field microscope. The results showed that the milling temperature was increased as spindle speed and feed speed increased. The influence of spindle speed and feed speed on milling force along the milling direction and the tool direction was significant different. The milled surface had better quality when the spindle speed increased or the feed speed decreased. The hardness standard deviation of machined surface was decreased as the surface quality became better. Besides, it was summarized how spindle speed played a role in corrosion resistance performance by affecting residual stress and metal oxides.
摘要：
Transverse gradient extrusion (TGE) processes with different die inclined angles of 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees and 60 degrees were used to produce Mg-3Al-1Zn sheets, thereby tailoring texture and mechanical properties of Mg alloy sheets. Microstructure, deformation texture and final mechanical properties of the obtained sheets were detected and discussed. Furthermore, the rheological behavior of Mg alloys during extrusion was analyzed by finite element method. As the TGE die inclined angle changed, the flow velocity along the transverse direction (TD) and effective strain difference along extrusion direction (ED) were changed during extrusion, and therefore the microstructure and texture of extruded sheets are altered. With increase of TGE die inclined angles, fine grain size and uniform microstructure were obtained. The base poles of most grains for the extruded sheets gradually deviate from normal direction (ND) to ED at center region and inclined from ED to TD at 1/4 edge region. A large elongation of 33.9 % and a low yield stress of 125 MPa can be obtained in the TGE-45 sheet.
