Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of In Situ TiB_2-7055 Composites

In order to fabricate a kind of high strength particulate reinforced aluminum-matrix composites, the high strength aluminum alloy 7055 was selected as a matrix. Composites reinforced with varying amounts of TiB2 particles were synthesized using the in situ method, and their mechanical properties and microstructure were analyzed. It is found that the in situ TiB2 particles sized from 50 to 400 nm uniformly disperse in the matrix. With the weight fraction of TiB2 particles increasing, the elastic modulus as well as the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength increase, while the ductility decrease. The improvement of strength could be attributed to good bonding between TiB2 and the matrix, and also the TiB2 particles act as a barrier to dislocation.

Lunar astrobiology: a review and suggested laboratory equipment

In October of 2005, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Alcatel Alenia Spazio released a "call to academia for innovative concepts and technologies for lunar exploration." In recent years, interest in lunar exploration has increased in numerous space programs around the globe, and the purpose of our study, in response to the ESA call, was to draw on the expertise of researchers and university students to examine science questions and technologies that could support human astrobiology activity on the Moon. In this mini review, we discuss astrobiology science questions of importance for a human presence on the surface of the Moon and we provide a summary of key instrumentation requirements to support a lunar astrobiology laboratory.     

An efficient large-scale mesh deformation method based on MPI/OpenMP hybrid parallel radial basis function interpolation

An efficient MPI/OpenMP hybrid parallel Radial Basis Function (RBF) strategy for both continuous and discontinuous large-scale mesh deformation is proposed to reduce the computational cost and memory consumption.Unlike the conventional parallel methods in which all processors use the same surface displacement and implement the same operation,the present method employs different surface points sets and influence radius for each volume point movement,accompanied with efficient geometry searching s...     

具有半主动压电阻尼的叶盘结构动力学特性研究

针对航空发动机整体叶盘结构的失谐响应放大问题,在叶盘结构中引入半主动压电阻尼技术,并利用基于非线性模态分析的非线性系统频域响应快速算法-非线性部件模态综合(NCMS)法对具有基于负电容的同步开关阻尼(SSDNC)的叶盘结构动力学特性进行理论探究。分析结果表明NCMS法相比于Newmark法具有很高的计算效率,并能保证较高计算精度;SSDNC能够同时对叶盘结构的多阶振动模态都产生较好的抑制效果,并对多谐波激励下叶盘结构的所有振动峰值都产生较好的抑制效果(对于本文所用模型,振动峰值下降可达到73%);统计分析表明,SSDNC的振动抑制效果对叶盘结构机械失谐以及电路参数失谐均不敏感。     

液氧煤油发动机混合比调整技术研究（英文）

The LM-5B carrier rocket’s first stage is equipped with eight 120 t. thrust high-pressure staged combustion LOX/kerosene engines(YF-100). The YF-100 engine features a throttle valve in the main fuel path, which allows the adjustment of the throttle area, thereby controlling the engine’s mixture ratio. Engine parameters for the throttle valve were determined based on design conditions(mixture ratio of 2.6), and the engine was then tested for ignition.After testing, if the mixture ratio was found ...

U形竖管内超临界甲烷传热异常行为机理研究

针对航空发动机的空气预冷系统U形竖管超临界流体传热异常问题,对超临界压力甲烷U形竖管内传热行为进行了数值研究。探究了热流密度、质量流量和运行压力对换热的影响,从超临界甲烷管内温度、速度、流动状态及无量纲数变化出发,阐述了超临界甲烷在U形管内异常传热现象形成的机理。结果表明,在较高热流密度(95k W·m^-2)下,浮升力导致的自然对流是上升直管段内传热恶化的主要原因,运行压力的升高抑制了物性变化,促进了传热恶化向正常传热方向恢复。弯管段内的二次流使混合对流转变为强制对流,二次流形成的迪恩涡改善了径向温度分布不均匀性,强化了弯管段及其后续直管段的传热,且在弯管顶部位置传热的强化作用最为显著。
