摘要This paper investigates the “brush-like”deformation phenomenon of the contact interface at the bolt-hole during the interference-fit installation of high-locking bolts under static loading in CFRP connection structures.An innovative theoretical model is proposed to predict axial installation force,specifically designed for moderate interference-fit.This model is based on the “brush-like”deformation of the hole wall,with the axial installation force predicted through force analysis and theoretical calculations,effectively overcoming the limitations of prior models that idealized the contact interface at the bolt-hole.The predictions generated by this theoretical model align closely with experimental data,confirming its efficacy in accurately forecasting the curve of installation force for interferencefit bolts during the static installation within the moderate interference-fit range.Additionally,a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between deformation of the hole wall and curves of installation force across small,moderate,and large interference-fit levels are presented.It is demonstrated that the degree of deformation within the moderate interference-fit range is more suitable than that in the small and large interference-fit ranges,making it a reliable alternative for installation force tests within this range during static installation.The moderate interference-fit domain[1.00%,1.24%]is established as a validated and optimal range of interference-fit bolts for the static installation.

摘要This work presents a methodology for modelling multibody systems with contact/impact events,considering angular inertia and energy dissipation,using a spinning top in contact with a flat surface as a case study.This specific application is chosen due to its requirement for an extremely precise characterization of the contact interaction to ensure consistent results.The modelling process is carried out using smooth contact methods,incorporating the Hertz and Flores models for the normal force,and the Ambr´osio and Gonthier models for tangential friction.To propose this methodology,an analysis and comparison of different models of normal and tangential forces will be performed,aiming to identify their differences and determine which are more appropriate for the system under study.Additionally,the impact of a variable restitution coefficient solution proposed by Ma et al.on the system’s dynamics is evaluated.This model,which was developed and tested by a finite element method tool and experiments,is now integrated within the context of a multibody dynamics model.The analysis addresses the effect of contact modelling on the evolution of the motion and the stability of the top.The results show that models with dissipation accelerate the cessation of rebounds and generate tighter trajectories,while models without dissipation produce prolonged oscillations and wider trajectories.Moreover,the impact of model selection on computational cost is discussed.

摘要Achieving high emission efficiency at low current densities remains a challenge for micro-LEDs.Here,we demonstrate a controllable interfacial strategy by tuning the annealing temperature of RF-superimposed DC sputtered ITO to modulate carrier injection dynamics.STEM analysis reveals 500℃ annealing triggers discrete substitutional In-atom incorporation into the p-GaN lattice,forming localized nanoscale contact regions.This architecture induces a localized carrier injection mechanism that significantly enhances the efficiency of micro-LEDs at low current densities.Specifically,the 500℃-annealed 10μm devices exhibit a dramatic enhancement in light output power(LOP),reaching 1.3×10-1 mW at 5 A/cm2,which is significantly higher than the 5.3×10-4 mW measured for 700°C-annealed devices.Furthermore,the peak efficiency current density(Jpeak)is dramatically shifted from 140 to 17 A/cm2 for 5μm devices.Capacitance-voltage analysis further corroborates the localized carrier injection mechanism.These findings establish contact interfacial modulation as a robust strategy for optimizing micro-LEDs in low-power display applications and tailoring device-level performance across broader optoelectronics.

摘要Metro line has the characteristics of short station distance,low operating speed,frequent traction/braking,high acceleration and deceleration,small curve radius and various track types.The wheel-rail low adhesion behavior,wear and damage problems are prominent under such a complicated operation condition.This article compares and analyzes the wheel-rail adhesion characteristic on four kinds of tracks,including the concrete slab bed track,steel-spring floating slab track,elastic support block track and trapezoidal sleeper track,revealing the adhesion degradation mechanism of metro wheel-rail system under different operating conditions,such as traction and braking.The results indicate that there are differences in the creepage response and the lowest limit of the wheel-rail adhesion coefficient on different track structures,while the maximum adhesion coefficient of the four track structures under traction/braking conditions shows a similar trend with the variation in speed and adhesion conditions.Traction and braking loads,as well as wheel-rail adhesion conditions,exert a relatively minor influence on the normal contact stress distribution of the wheel-rail interface,but significantly affect shear stress distributions.This study is shown to enhance the understanding of the combined effects of adhesion degradation and track types on the wheel-rail contact stress and surface damage.

摘要The transformative potential of gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors(GaN HEMTs)in advancing carbon-neutral power systems remains bottlenecked by contact resistance(Rc)at the metal-semiconductor(M-S)interface,a critical determinant of switching losses and frequency response.Herein,by engineering a TiAl/TiAlTa/Au metastructure,we propose a novel interface-driven strategy employing Ta-mediated interfacial reconstruction to achieve a record-low Rc of 0.07Ωmm,which is two orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional Ti/Al/Ni/Au ohmic contacts.This innovation originates from expansion-bolt-like islands(shaped as inverted truncated pyramid—with extensive coverage and planar tops)formed during rapid thermal annealing(RTA)process,which are sufficiently dug into the two-dimensional electron gas(2DEG)channel.Distinct from traditional thumbtack-like morphology(resembling inverted cones),these expansion-bolt-like islands exhibit enhanced coverage to 2DEG channel,and planarized apex geometries that redistribute electric field,enabling 87%higher off-state breakdown voltage.This interface-driven strategy envisions a universal manufacturable paradigm for next-generation ultra-low-loss GaN power devices.

摘要This paper quantitatively discusses the influence of well contact on single-event transient(SET)in sub-20 nm FinFET by two-photon absorption(TPA)pulse laser.Two groups of inverter chains were designed to investigate the impact of well contact distance on the FinFET process.The experimental results show that the SET pulse width has a bimodal symmetric distribution,which is different from that of a bulk planar CMOS device.To investigate the detailed mechanism of the phenomenon,a high-precision FinFET TCAD model was established,in which both Id-Vd and Id-Vg errors were less than 10%compared to the SPICE model provided by the commercial process.TCAD simulation under heavy ion injection showed the mechanism of the abnormal phenomenon,where the well contact plays a major role in charge collection at the near-well contact distance,while the source plays a major role at the far distance.This phenomenon is completely different from that of planar CMOS devices.This indicates that the SET mechanism becomes more complicated during the FinFET process.Therefore,more effective SET hardening methods should be investigated for FinFET.

摘要The distribution of heat generation and operating temperature are crucial factors affecting the performance and useful service life of angular contact ball bearings.A thermodynamic real-time coupling analytical model is established in this work to illustrate alterations in the bearing structure,internal load,and the sliding and rotation of the ball correlated with temperature fluctuations.The temperature rise and heat generation of angular contact ball bearings under combined loads are accurately calculated.The simulation of the temperature rise in bearings is conducted based on this model,and the effectiveness of the model is validated through simulation experiments.The simulation results of the distribution of heat generation are compared between thermodynamic real-time coupling and thermodynamic sequential coupling,with a focus on the transient thermal characteristics of bearings and the effect of load on their steady-state thermal characteristics.The precision of temperature simulation through thermodynamic real-time coupling is significantly higher than that through thermodynamic sequential coupling.Axial load mainly affects heat generated by the sliding and rotation of the ball on the inner raceway,while radial load predominantly affects the heat generation of the ball due to sliding on the inner and outer raceways.The findings of the work can guide the design and performance evaluation of angular contact ball bearings and provide support for temperature simulation.

摘要To address the limitations of traditional silicone hydrogel contact lenses in wettability and drug release,an innovative approach was proposed by incorporating polyethylene glycol(PEG)and sodium hyaluronate(SH)into these lenses.Aminoalkyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane(KF8010)was reacted with glycidyl methacrylate(GMA)to synthesize GKF8010,which was then mixed with methacryloxymethyltris(trimethylsiloxy)silane(TRIS),N,N-Dimethylaniline(DMA),and PEG400 to fabricate PEG-modified silicone hydrogel contact lenses(PEG-SCL)via UV molding.Unmodified lenses(SCL)were served as controls.The effects of PEG modification on lens properties,including water content,wettability,and optical clarity,and SH loading efficiency and drug release were evaluated.Additionally,the protein adsorption and biocompatibility of the lenses with human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were assessed.Results indicated that PEGmodified lenses exhibited superior water content,reduced protein adsorption,enhanced SH loading capacity and controlled release profiles,highlighting their potential for treating dry eye syndrome.

摘要The cold chain environment is an important route for the long⁃distance transmission of pathogenic micro⁃organisms.In this study,we explored the mechanisms of secondary propagation through surface contact on cold surfaces.A quantitative statistical experimental method was adopted to study the surface⁃contact transmission of micro⁃organisms,wherein the transfer rate of surface contact was the dependent variable and Escherichia coli was used as the indicator bacterium.The effects of contact pressure(0.44,0.86,1.55,2.25,and 2.94 N/cm2),contact time(0,15,30,45,and 60 s),contact angle(15°and 25°),and surface materials(rubber and cotton gloves)were measured at two storage temperatures:cold storage(5℃)and freezing(-18℃).The results showed that as temperature decreases,the transfer of micro⁃organisms through surface contact becomes less probable.The contact time did not significantly influence the transfer rate of micro⁃organisms when items were handled at cold⁃storage temperatures.Based on these results,we recommend placing items as flat as possible to minimize the tilt angle when handling them at cold⁃storage temperatures.Additionally,if the tilt angle cannot be avoided,rubber gloves should be used when handling items stored at large tilt angles,whereas cotton gloves may be used for items placed at smaller angles.

摘要Threaded connection is a common structural form in mechanical engineering,with their complex nonlinear behavior under combined loading critically affecting structural performance.While existing simplified models and finite element analysis(FEA)methods describe force distribution under single loading conditions,accurately modeling threaded connections under complex loading remains challenging.This paper proposes a simplified theoretical model to efficiently predict contact forces and deformation distributions under tension,torsion,bending,and shear.The model treats bolt and nut bodies as Euler-Bernoulli beams and represents thread stiffness using equivalent trapezoidal cantilever beams,reducing computational complexity while retaining essential mechanical characteristics.The paper introduces reference helical curves and derives a deformation coordination relationship based on contact constraints.The model’s calculations are validated against FEA results,demonstrating both high precision and significant computational efficiency under complex loading conditions.This work provides an efficient and reliable tool for analyzing threaded connections,offering promising engineering applications.

摘要Surface texture technology is a method to improve the tribological properties of friction pairs.In this study,a cylindrical texture is designed in cage pocket,and then the volume of fluid model and the multireference frame method are used to investigate the oil volume fraction inside the bearing cavity,the pressure and oil distribution on the ball surface,and the oil distribution on the inner/outer raceway.The results show that the cylindrical texture in cage pocket is helpful to increase the oil volume fraction inside the bearing cavity,improve the pressure distribution on the ball surface,and increase the oil content on the ball surface.The cage pocket texture helps the ball to carry more lubrication oil in the high-speed rotation process,which increases the oil content of the outer raceway and improves the oil-air lubrication effect of the ball.This study proposes a new texture arrangement in cage pocket of angular contact ball bearings,and introduces the mixed mesh method to divide the fluid domain of bearing.Through comparative study,the cage pocket texture is helpful to improve the oil-air lubrication efficiency.

摘要Shortly after the commencement of service operations,a distinct form of localized rolling contact fatigue(RCF)was identified on the wheels of a metro line.Field investigations revealed that most fatigue damage measured less than 10 cm in length and 1.5 cm in width,accompanied by significant material spalling and flaking.These defects were found to be distributed exclusively around the flange root and the region outside the nominal rolling circle,with approximately 78.6%concentrated at the flange root.Furthermore,trailer wheels exhibited a markedly higher incidence of RCF compared to motor wheels.To elucidate the underlying failure mechanism,a multibody dynamics model of the metro vehicle was established using SIMPACK,with numerical simulations performed based on actual track geometry and operational data.The analysis indicated that the line contained numerous small-radius curves.Lubricators installed along the high rail in these curves contaminated the rail surface,leading to a significant reduction in the adhesion coefficient on that side.When trains were braked while negotiating curves-particularly at stations located on such curves-the resulting low-adhesion conditions induced localized RCF on the wheels on the high-rail side.Additionally,the decreased adhesion on the high-rail side caused increased tread wear on the wheels of the low-rail side,which further promoted fatigue damage initiation at the flange root.The higher incidence of RCF on trailer wheels was attributed to two primary factors.First,as the leading wheelset,the trailer wheels were the first to contact the oil-contaminated rail,thereby experiencing the most severe adhesion degradation.Second,motor wheels generally exhibited higher tread wear rates,which helped to remove incipient surface cracks before they could develop into macroscopic RCF damage.By implementing a regimen of regular cleaning to remove oil contamination from both rail surfaces and wheel flanges,the wheel-rail adhesion conditions were substantially improved.This intervention effectively suppressed the occurrence of the localized rolling contact fatigue problem.
