摘要The strain energy storage index(WET)is a crucial index for evaluating rockburst proneness.Interestingly,when conducting tests to obtain WET,variations exist in the shape of coal or rock specimens.However,whether shape factors affect WET has not been theoretically and experimentally verified.In this study,to investigate the independence of WET from specimen shape effects,its rationality was first theoretically derived based on the linear energy storage(LES)laws of rock,indicating that WET is influenced by the energy storage coefficient(ESC)of the rock.Two typical rock materials(granite and red sandstone)with different rockburst proneness were selected to verify the migration effect of cubic and cylindrical specimens on WET via uniaxial compression tests.The experimental results revealed that the mechanical behavior characteristics of rocks were affected by the shape of cylindrical and cubic specimens,whereas the WET and ESC were opposite.Furthermore,the practical WET values closely approximate the theoretical values of energy storage-dissipated ratio predicted by the LES law,converging to the peak-strength strain energy storage index(WPET).Based on the LES law,the influence of specimen shape on WET and WPET was further discussed,concluding that WET and WPET are independent of specimen shape effects.Furthermore,the WPET is more stable than WET and reflects the relative magnitude of energy storage and dissipation during the entire pre-peak of rock.Thus,the peak-strength strain energy storage index can be used as a substitute for WET in evaluating the rockburst proneness of rock.

摘要The stress-strain curves of seawater sea-sand recycled aggregate concrete(SSRAC)with different replacement ratios of recycled coarse aggregate(RCA)or sea-sand under different strain rates were studied.The effects of different replacement ratios of RCA or sea-sand,and ages on the characteristic parameters of the stress-strain curve and corresponding dynamic increasing factor(DIF)of SSRAC were analyzed.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and nanoindentation tests were used to explain the variation of the characteristic parameters from the microscopic point of view.The results show that,when the replacement ratio of RCA or seasand is 50%,the strain rate sensitivity of elastic modulus is higher than that of peak stress;the DIF of peak stress exhibits a pattern of initially decreasing and then increasing with the increasing replacement ratio of RCA or sea-sand.Conversely,the DIF of elastic modulus initially shows an increase followed by a decrease.The introduction of seawater and sea-sand promotes hydration,resulting in a denser microstructure for SSRAC as compared to that of recycled aggregate concrete,which influences its strain rate sensitivity.Finally,a stressstrain prediction model of SSRAC is proposed,which can provide a theoretical basis for its experimental research and engineering application.
摘要Predicting rock blasting outcomes in mining has been crucial since its inception.Blasting remains the most energy-and cost-efficient method for rock breaking and is often the only practical option.However,the mechanism is complex,influenced by various rock properties,explosives,and blast design parameters,making their effects difficult to quantify.Traditional stress-based models struggle with many parameters,such as stress and Poisson's ratio,which are challenging to measure in the field.Empirical models,though simpler,often oversimplify blast conditions.Both types of models are limited to simulating a few blastholes and cannot handle full-scale blasts involving hundreds of blastholes.However,modeling full-scale blasts with all blast design parameters is most required for modern mining applications.This paper presents a novel strain-based modeling approach for blasting and geomechanical applications,utilizing measurable variables such as particle velocity,strain,and displacement.By bypassing complex constitutive relations,strain-based models capture critical blasting trends and simulate full-scale blasts with full-blast design parameters with minimal calibration.The framework encompasses field strain measurements,model construction based on measurable variables,and laboratoryderived strain-failure criteria,each offering potential for future enhancement.Additionally,a standardized field test for site characterization is recommended.The approach is demonstrated through the Multiple Blasthole Fragmentation model,which simulates rock fragmentation and fragment strain during blasting,highlighting the practicality and effectiveness of strain-based modeling for multiple blasthole blasts.Moreover,this approach extends beyond blasting,with potential applications in highwall stability monitoring and other geomechanical applications.Strain-based modeling provides a simplified yet effective solution,avoiding the complexities of rock constitutive relations and field stress measurements while enabling full-blast design simulations for large-scale field blasts.

摘要This study synthesized a high-strength Zr42Ti15Nb20Ta20Al3(at.%)refractory high-entropy alloy(RHEA)via vacuum induction melting.The mechanical behavior of the Zr42Ti15Nb_(2 n)Ta_(2 n)Al3RHEA was systematically investigated through a universal testing machine and split Hopkinson pressure bar system at strain rates up to 5100 s−1,and the temperature change is from 193 K to 673 K.By integrating theoretical derivation and microstructural characterization,we examined the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms of the Zr42Ti15Nb_(2 n)Ta_(2 n)Al3RHEA under the synergistic effects of temperature and strain rate.The results demonstrate that the Zr42Ti15Nb_(2 n)Ta_(2 n)Al3RHEA exhibits a significant positive strain rate effect.The dominant deformation mechanism changes with increasing strain rate:cross-slip→localized shear→adiabatic shear.When the strain rate reaches 5100 s−1,the yield strength increases from 1151 MPa to 2112 MPa,and an adiabatic shear band forms.Simultaneously,the microstructure undergoes severe localized deformation,dominated by shear bands,and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)is activated to counteract the deformation.At 193 K,the yield strength is 2241 MPa.Kink bands have appeared,enhancing the ductility of RHEA:the yield strength and the temperature sensitivity coefficient decrease with increasing temperature.However,as the temperature increases,atomic mobility is enhanced,which promotes grain boundary sliding and migration,activating DRX,and effectively mitigating shear localization.This study deepens our understanding of the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of the Zr42Ti15Nb20Ta20Al3RHEA.It reveals the microstructure evolution process of the alloy under different strain rates,the synergistic effect of strain rate and temperature,and the influence of strain rate and temperature on the deformation mechanisms of the material.This research lays a theoretical foundation for applying the Zr42Ti15Nb20Ta20Al3RHEA in extreme environments.

摘要Soil desiccation cracking is a prevalent natural phenomenon that poses significant geotechnical and geoenvironmental challenges.Cracks typically initiate at surface defects such as air bubbles,large aggregates,tiny pits,or uneven surfaces,where localized stress concentrations are readily induced.This study conducted a series of laboratory desiccation tests on slurry samples to investigate the initiation and propagation of desiccation cracks in the presence of varying types and quantities of surface defects.Digital image correlation(DIC)technology was employed to monitor the strain and displacement fields on the soil surface during the desiccation process.The results reveal that strain and displacement data derived from DIC can precisely predict the initiation sites and propagation directions of desiccation cracks.In samples with internal defects,cracks predominantly propagate through the defect,whereas external defects tend to initiate cracks along their edges.In samples with multiple defects,Y-shaped crack patterns generally form initially,followed by T-shaped and straight cracks,driven by the evolving stress field.The dynamic interplay between crack formation and tensile stress redistribution governs the initiation and propagation of desiccation cracks.

摘要This study presents a multi-scale modeling framework to describe the mechanical behavior of a 0.1 mm-thick commercially pure titanium(CP-Ti)sheet developed for fuel cell bipolar plates.Since standardized methods for characterizing ultra-thin sheets under complex stress states are lacking,a virtual modeling approach was employed.At the grain scale,a crystal plasticity finite element(CPFE)model was constructed to incorporate the relevant slip and twinning systems,enabling prediction of responses under diverse loading conditions.Extending to the continuum scale,the CPFE results,combined with tensile data,were used to calibrate an advanced constitutive model based on the evolutionary Yld2000-2d yield function,capable of capturing anisotropic behavior.Validation against independent limiting dome height tests confirmed the predictive accuracy of the framework.The proposed approach provides a basis for simulating the forming behavior of ultra-thin CP-Ti sheets and supports precise manufacturing of bipolar plates in fuel cell systems.

摘要The use of fiber-reinforced polymer(FRP)jackets or tubes as confining devices can significantly improve the compressive performance of ultra-high-performance concrete(UHPC).For FRP-confined UHPC,an analysis-oriented stress–strain model is essential for a comprehensive understanding of its compressive behavior and the development of design models.Although several analysis-oriented stress–strain models have been developed for FRP-confined normal-strength concrete(NSC),such models for FRP-confined UHPC are still lacking.In this study,an experiment is conducted to investigate the failure mechanism of UHPC confined with FRP under concentric compression,and the stress–strain behavior of the FRP-confined UHPC is analyzed using the stress–strain models of actively-confined UHPC.Results showed that the stress-path-independency assumption,which has been proven to apply to FRP-confined NSC,was inapplicable to FRP-confined UHPC.By modifying the confining pressure to consider the influence of stress-path dependency,an analysis-oriented model was proposed.The proposed model was verified using a collected test database.The results show that the proposed model accurately predicted the stress–strain behavior of FRP-confined UHPC.

摘要This study integrates fiber Bragg grating(FBG)sensing technology with three-dimensional(3D)printing to develop a geogrid with strain-sensing capabilities.Polylactic acid(PLA)was used as the printing material,and the geogrid was fabricated using fused deposition modeling(FDM).FBG sensors were embedded within the printed structure to achieve both reinforcement and real-time deformation monitoring.A theoretical model for strain transfer between the FBG sensors and the geogrid was proposed,considering both fiber grating and adhesive layer parameters.The model was validated through laboratory tensile tests on geogrids.The results indicate that the proposed strain transfer model aligns well with the experimental data,with a maximum relative error of less than 3%,demonstrating its effectiveness in monitoring geogrid deformation.A parametric analysis shows that increasing the grating sensing length enhances strain transfer performance by expanding the distribution range of interfacial shear strain.The shear modulus of the adhesive layer directly regulates interfacial slip resistance,while the Young's modulus influences strain response indirectly through structural stiffness.The effectiveness of both is constrained by the adhesive layer radius.Based on gray relational analysis(GRA),the mean gray relational grade(GRG)value of geometric parameters is 0.433,significantly higher than that of material parameters(0.381),confirming that optimizing structural design is a priority for improving sensing performance.The study provides theoretical support and technical guidance for the design and application of embedded optical fiber sensors in intelligent geotechnical engineering.

摘要High-fidelity strain measurements of plate and shell structures are crucial for elucidating failure mechanisms and deformation evolution.These data provide the basis for quantitative damage detection,design optimization,and structural health monitoring.However,laboratory constraints often preclude the acquisition of high-resolution full-field strains,limiting observations to a sparse set of discrete points.Reconstructing complete strain fields from these sparse measurements has therefore become a pressing challenge,for which few effective solutions exist.Motivated by the spatial correlations exhibited under blast loading,we develop a position-and physicsaware graph neural network(PPA-GNN)to recover transient strain fields in plate structures subjected to explosive impacts.The model employs graph-based message passing to encode both spatial topology and governing physical constraints among sensor nodes,markedly improving reconstruction fidelity.To cope with severe data sparsity in practice,we further devise a curriculum-learning schedule that gradually transitions training from dense to extremely sparse sampling,thereby enhancing robustness.The experimental results indicate that the PPA-GNN achieves an R2 value of 0.903 when only eight observation points are used,thereby demonstrating its capability for reliable full-field reconstruction under minimal sensing conditions.

摘要Flexible sensors have become foundational components in the advancement of next-generation electronics,owing to their low elastic modulus,minimal bending stiffness,and inherent capacity to conform intimately to non-planar,dynamically deforming surfaces[1,2].These mechanical attributes fundamentally distinguish them from conventional rigid sensors,unlocking unique possibilities for seamless integration with soft biological tissues and curved robotic structures.Among the diverse sensing modalities,strain sensors are particularly essential.They transduce mechanical deformation into quantifiable electrical signals,enabling precise monitoring of motion,force,and subtle structural changes across multiple applications.

摘要With the development of electronic technologies,piezoresistive sensors have attracted increasing attention.Among them,aerogels with high elasticity,as a type of three-dimensional porous material,are widely used in the field of piezoresistive sensors.Nowadays,with the extension of science and technology areas,fields involving low-temperature environments have emerged,which has led to an increasing demand for piezoresistive sensors that can serve at cryogenic temperatures.However,most studies on aerogels have only focused on their sensing performance at room temperature,and there is a lack of research on aerogel sensors that can work at low temperatures.In this work,piezoresistive sensors based on cotton fibers were proposed for applications at 77 K.As one of the most important natural polymers,cotton fibers have the ability to maintain elasticity at very low temperatures.Cotton fiber-based aerogels with high elasticity and cyclic stability were obtained by controlling the freeze-casting parameters and size distribution of cotton fibers,and they showed excellent pressure sensing properties,including a wide sensing range and remarkable long-term stability.This study bridges the gap in cryogenic sensing materials and provides insights into microstructure-property relationships,advancing applications in aerospace and cryogenic engineering.

摘要Understanding the adsorption behavior of hydrogen on catalyst surfaces is critical to a comprehensive analysis of the kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).While strain engineering to enhance single hydrogen adsorption on catalysts is well-established,the mechanisms governing multiple hydrogen adsorption under strain remain unclear.In this study,we systematically investigate different adsorption structures of multi-coverage hydrogen on the Pt(111)catalyst’s surface by first-principles calculations.We propose two dimensions,“ke”and“kε”,to quantitatively describe the relationship between adsorption energy and d-band center with stress under different coverage levels.The results indicate that the above two values undergo dynamic changes under different coverage levels,proving that there are differences in the effect of stress under different H coverage conditions.Especially under high coverage,stress has a significant enhancement effect on H adsorption.Although the enhancement effect slightly decreases when hydrogen molecules are produced,there is still a significant overall enhancement,effectively suppressing the weakening of the original Pt-H adsorption caused by high coverage.We conducted theoretical verification from the perspectives of changes in adsorption energy and d-band center using these two dimensions,confirming that stress can effectively alter the d-band structure of Pt,optimize its interaction with adsorbed hydrogen,and provide a theoretical basis for further improving the HER performance of Pt catalysts under high current density by applying external stress.

摘要NADC34-like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV) has been circulating in China for several years and became the dominant field strain in some provinces.Current commercial vaccines could not provide complete crossprotection to NADC34-like PRRSV infection,which led to huge economic losses on pig farms.Co-infections of NADC34-like PRRSV with some other PRRSV strains are commonly found in many clinical cases,and successful isolation of NADC34-like PRRSV strain from the clinical samples has been a challenge to study its biological characters and perform animal experiments to evaluate its pathogenicity.In this study,we constructed a NADC34-like PRRSV infectious clone derived from the isolated JS2021 NADC34 PRRSV strain using the reverse genetics technique and investigated its virulence and pathogenicity for nursery pigs.The rescued(rNADC34) strain could proliferate well in porcine alveolar macrophages(PAMs),and the viral copy number and titers were comparable to parental strain.For pathogenicity,the rNADC34 straininfected pigs showed high body temperature and body weight loss.The histopathological results presented interstitial pneumonia and severe hemorrhage,infiltration of neutrophils and lymphocyte in lungs,lymph nodes,and tonsils.The viral proteins were also detectable in rNADC34 strain-infected pigs using immunohistochemistry staining.Moreover,the trends of PRRSV-specific antibody and viremia in PRRSV rNADC34-infected pigs were similar with the parental strain-infected pigs.These data indicated that rNADC34 strain manifested strong virulence and high pathogenicity for nursery pigs.

摘要The flow characteristics and deformation mechanism of Al-Mg-Si alloy were studied at various temperatures(77-298 K)and strain rates(900−7000 s-1)using the Hopkinson pressure bar method,electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results showed that increasing the strain rate and decreasing the deformation temperature significantly enhanced the work hardening ability of Al-Mg-Si alloy,thereby markedly improving the plasticity.A dislocation density-based constitutive model for the Al-Mg-Si alloy was established,incorporating dislocation accumulation and dynamic recovery mechanisms,which accurately described the flow behaviors under different conditions.Microstructural observation revealed that the combination of cryogenic temperature and high strain rate significantly suppressed dislocation cross-slip,which led to the formation of numerous slip bands.As strain accumulated,these slip bands interacted and facilitated recrystallization,thereby obviously accelerating the grain refinement process.
