Tensile properties analysis of CFRP-titanium plate multi-bolt hybrid joints

Hybrid joints have better tensile properties than pure bonded and bolted bolts, and are increasingly used in the aerospace field. Tensile tests are carried out for the Hybrid Bonded/Bolted(HBB) joints of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer(CFRP) laminate and titanium alloy plate under different bolt numbers, and the corresponding load–displacement curves are obtained. At the same time, based on Continuum Damage Mechanics(CDM) theory, which is derived from 3D Hashin failure criteria, and a Cohesive Z...     

Research on influence of typical microstructure characteristics of Ni base single crystal on creep rupture and deformation analysis of turbo blade

Considering the influence of typical microstructure characteristics on creep performance,a series of UM-F single crystal alloys which had similar element components but different microstructures were used to analyze the relationship between creep life and microstructure characteristics of Ni base single crystal.Three main factors were proposed:misfit,volume fraction of precipitate and maximum matrix channel width.The Microstate parameter Ymicro was established to estimate the deformation state of the materials.The linear relationship between the initial value of microstate parameter Y0 and creep life under a certain temperature/load was affirmed.By analyzing the high temperature region of turbo blade using the material parameters of DD 3,the creep deformation and the life prediction of the critical points of blade were obtained and the result closed to the test.     

FEA OF RUBBER WITH NOVEL STRAIN ENERGY FUNCTIONS

This paper presents the results of finite element analysis of rubber structures based on novel strain energy functions stemming from the representation theorem of tensorial function. The stress tensor is represented by Taylor expansion, using the representation theorem of tensorial function of a single tensorial argument for all terms in each order of the expansion. The scalar-valued coefficient functions of the theorem are represented by the integrity bases of the strain tensor and material constants to be determined by experiment. The computer implementation of the new constitutive laws has been verified by comparing the FE results with analytical solutions. A complicated structure of rubber bearing was analyzed. The FE results show good correlation with experimental data.     

Study on Inclusions in Large Sapphire Optical Crystal Grown by SAPMAC Method

The sapphire (Al2O3) single crystal is a kind of excellent infrared transmission window materials. A large-sized sapphire (Φ225 mm×205 mm, 27.5 kg) was grown by SAPMAC method (sapphire growth technique with micro-pulling and shoulder-expanding at cooled center). Several kinds of inclusion in the large sapphire crystal were investigated by means of an optical microscopy (OM), scan-ning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The experimental results show that most inclusions are consisted of solid metallic and non-metallic particles as well as gas pores caused by the impurity of alumina as the raw material, the thermal dissociation of aluminum oxide melt and the reaction of the melt to the crucible material (Mo) at high temperatures. It is also found that in different crystal regions the inclusions are of varied sizes, morphology and chemical compositions. Finally, the measures to reduce and eliminate the inclusions are proposed to improve the crystal quality.     

Vibration coupling effects and machining behavior of ultrasonic vibration plate device for creep-feed grinding of Inconel 718 nickel-based superalloy

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding(UVAG) is an effective and promising method for machining of hard-to-cut materials. This article proposed an ultrasonic vibration plate device enabling the longitudinal full-wave and transverse half-wave(L2T1) vibration mode for UVAG.The characteristics of two-dimensional coupled vibration in different directions were analyzed on the basis of apparent elastic method and finite element method. Furthermore, a correction factor was applied to correct the freque...     

Update on the ESA-CAS Joint Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) Mission

The SMILE (Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer) mission aims at deepening our understanding of the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth magnetosphere. It is the first time that ESA and CAS jointly select, design, implement, launch, and operate a space mission. The mission was adopted by CAS in November 2016 and by ESA in March 2019 with a target launch date by the end of 2023.      

TanSat Mission Achievements: from Scientific Driving to Preliminary Observations

The Chinese global carbon dioxide monitoring satellite (TanSat) was successfully launched in December 2016 and has completed its on-orbit tests and calibration. TanSat aims to measure the atmospheric Carbon Dioxide column-averaged dry air mole fractions (X_CO2) with a precision of 4 ppm at the regional scale, and further to derive the CO₂ global and regional fluxes. Progress toward these objectives is reviewed and the first scientific results from TanSat measurements are presented. During the design phase, Observation System Simulation Experiments (OSSE) on TanSat measurements performed prior to launch measurements using a nadir and a glint alternative mode when considering the balance of stable measurements and reduces the flux uncertainty (64%). The constellation measurements of two satellites indicate an extra 10% improvement in flux inversion if the satellite measurements have no bias and similar precision. The TanSat on-orbit test indicates that the instrument is stable and beginning to produce X_CO2 products. The preliminary TanSat measurements have been validated with Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) measurements and have inter-compared with OCO-2 measurements in an overlap measurement.      

Theories and methods for designing hypersonic high-enthalpy flow nozzles

Hypersonic high-enthalpy wind tunnels have been a challenge to ground tests in aerospace research area for decades and its test flow uniformity is one of the most important parameters for evaluating wind tunnel performances. Regarding to the performance requirement, theories and methods for designing hypersonic flow nozzles at high enthalpy conditions are quite difficult, but very interesting topics, especially when air molecule dissociations take place in wind tunnel test gas reservoirs. In thi...     

Infrared radiation simulation of exhaust system by coupling FVM with narrow band k-distribution

A three-dimensional infrared radiation code for exhaust system was developed by the finite volume method coupled with narrow band k-distribution in non-gray absorbing-emitting media. The final infrared signature had considered the atmosphere effect, and the simulation values were favorably consistent with testing ones. The results indicate that the relative errors considering the effect of atmosphere compared with that of the contrary condition reduce by 31%, it shows that when simulating the infrared radiation of the target which is received by the infrared detectors, even the calculation band is in atmospheric windows 3~5 μm, the effect of atmospheric transmission on infrared signature of the target should not be neglected.
