复合材料径向和轴向螺栓连接失效预测方法及失效模式分析

大型火箭舱段间的复合材料端框连接主要由径向螺栓连接和轴向螺栓连接组成，设计了不同铺层和几何尺寸的连接试验件，并通过试验获得了失效载荷和失效形式。然后，选择了3种渐进损伤方法进行了连接结构的失效预测，并将预测结果与试验结果进行比较，结果表明：采用基于细观力学的复合材料渐进损伤方法，15组径向连接试验件失效载荷计算误差最大为17.3％；4组轴向连接失效载荷计算误差最大7.4％；预测的失效形式与试验结果接近，为连接结构确定了合适的失效预测方法。采用数值分析结果揭示了复合材料单向层的主要失效模式。为复合材料端框连接的设计研究提供了可用的失效预测方法及详细的失效模式分析结果。     

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of a multi-link manipulator with flexible links-joints mounted on a mobile platform

The present work theoretically demonstrates the dynamic analysis of a planar multi-link manipulator considering flexible links and joints mounted on a moving base. A nonlinear model of a multi-manipulator (N-links) has been developed accounting for an equivalent bi-directional mobile base. The nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli beam and spring-inertia/mass system have been introduced to demonstrate the flexibilities of links and joints, respectively. Modal analysis followed by trajectory analysis has been performed to investigate the behaviors of manipulator taking into account of accurate boundary conditions. Further, vibration characteristics, steady-state responses, and their stability at resonant situations due to joint motions and inertial coupling have been studied. Results of exploiting geometric and inertial coupling due to flexible arms on stability analysis of steady-state responses have been investigated and have been subsequently verified with the findings by directly solving the governing equations. Steady-state response characteristics to explore the dynamics of the multi-link manipulators under resonant states have been studied with the varying actuator mass, the flexibility of links, lifted payload, and joint parameters. The results thus obtained, deliver a useful insight into the position analysis and long-term behavior of multi-link flexible manipulators under harmonic hub-joint motions that shall further enable its proper vibration attenuation and control.     

Integration of nanoindentation and finite element method for interpretable tensile properties:A cross-scale calculation method of uneven joints

Nanoindentation testing and its Reverse Analysis Method(RAM) show great potential in understanding the tensile properties of metallic alloys with various microstructures. Nevertheless,the tensile properties of heterogeneous materials such as nickel-based superalloy welded joints have not been well interpreted by combining the microstructures and nanoindentation results, due to their diverse and complex microscopic zones, which throws shade on the properties of separated zones in the material.
