Through an analytical shear-lag model and finite element simulations, it is demonstrated that applying tensile pre-strain to carbon fibers before electrode assembly effectively reduces the interfacial shear stress, thereby suppressing debonding. However, the excessive pre-strain can induce the interfacial damage in the unlithiated state, necessitating careful control of the pre-strain within a feasible range. This range is influenced by electrode material properties and geometric parameters. Specifically, the electrodes with the higher solid-state electrolyte elastic modulus and larger electrolyte volume fraction exhibit more significant interfacial damage, making pre-strain application increasingly critical. However, these conditions also impose stricter constraints on the feasible pre-strain range. By elucidating the interplay between pre-strain, material properties, and geometric factors, this study provides valuable insights for optimizing the design of carbon fiber SLIBs.展开更多

The Orthotropic Experiment Method (OEM) is used to select the most appropriate design samples for network training. The trained response surfaces can either be objective function or constraint conditions. Together with other conven- tional constraints, an optimization model is then set up and can be solved by Genetic Algorithm (GA). This allows the separation between design analysis modeling and optimization searching. Through an example of a hat-stiffened composite plate design, the weight response surface is constructed to be objective function, and strength and buckling response surfaces as constraints; and all of them are trained through NASTRAN finite element analysis. The results of optimization study illustrate that the cycles of structural analysis ean be remarkably reduced or even eliminated during the optimization, thus greatly raising the efficiency of optimization process. It also observed that NNRS approximation can achieve equal or even better accuracy than conventional functional response surfaces.展开更多

MethodStatistic work and analysis were conducted on the numbers and distribution characteristics of various branches in each cubic lattice by using the canopy cellular method. ResultThe results showed that: The total number of scaffold branches of evacuation layered tree shape was 97, which mainly distributed in the lower layer and middle part of the canopy; the total number of scaffold branches of open-center tree shape was 94, which mainly distributed in the lower layer and middle part of the canopy. The total number of annual branches of evacuation layered tree shape was 3 920, which mainly distributed in the middle layer and outer part of the canopy; and the total number of annual branches of the open-center tree shape was 3 183, which mainly distributed in middle layer and outer part of the canopy. The total number of perennial branches of evacuation layered tree shape was 2 184, which mainly distributed in lower layer and outer part of the canopy; the total number of perennial branches of open-center tree shape was 1 444, which mainly distributed in middle layer and outer part of the canopy. ConclusionThe total number and the distribution positions of scaffold branches in the canopy of each tree shape were basically the same. The total numbers of annual branches of the two kinds of tree shapes were different, but the distribution positions were basically the same. The total numbers and the distribution positions of perennial branches in the canopy of the two kinds of tree shapes were different.展开更多

Within the achieved undercooling range of 22 to 280 K, the solidification structure undergoes three changes at 22 K, 88 K and 187 K, respectively. With the increase of undercooling, common dendrites, the first class granular grains, undercooled dendrites and the second class granular grains come out one after the other. Analytical results show that the granulation mechanism of the first class granular grains is owing to dendrite remelting and recrystallization, and the granulation mechanism of the second is owing to dendrite break-up and recrystallization.展开更多

We developed a Lamb wave-based in-service SHM technology using built-in piezoelectric actuator/sensor networks to monitor delamination extension in a full-scale composite horizontal tail. The in-service SHM technology combine of damage rapid monitoring(DRM) stage and damage imaging diagnosis(DID) stage allows for real-time monitoring and long term tracking of the structural integrity of composite aircraft structures. DRM stage using spearman rank correlation coeffi cient was introduced to generate a damage index which can be used to monitor the trend of damage extension. The DID stage based on canonical correlation analysis aimed at intuitively highlighting structural damage regions in two-dimensional images. The DRM and DID stages were trialed by an in-service SHM experiment of CFRP T-joint. Finally, the detection capability of the in-service SHM technology was verified in the SHM experiment of a full-scale composite horizontal tail. Experimental results show that the rapid monitoring method effectively monitors the damage occurrence and extension tendency in real time; damage imaging diagnosis results are consistent with those from the failure model of the composite horizontal tail structure.展开更多

摘要This study proposes a pre-strain optimization strategy for carbon fiber structural lithium-ion battery(SLIB) composites to inhibit the interfacial debonding between carbon fibers and solid-state electrolytes due to fiber lithiation. Through an analytical shear-lag model and finite element simulations, it is demonstrated that applying tensile pre-strain to carbon fibers before electrode assembly effectively reduces the interfacial shear stress, thereby suppressing debonding. However, the excessive pre-strain can induce the interfacial damage in the unlithiated state, necessitating careful control of the pre-strain within a feasible range. This range is influenced by electrode material properties and geometric parameters. Specifically, the electrodes with the higher solid-state electrolyte elastic modulus and larger electrolyte volume fraction exhibit more significant interfacial damage, making pre-strain application increasingly critical. However, these conditions also impose stricter constraints on the feasible pre-strain range.

摘要Ceramic materials demonstrate great application potential in multiple fields such as aerospace and biomedical engineering due to their excellent mechanical properties,high-temperature resistance,and good biocompatibility,but their inherent brittleness and processing defects urgently need to be broken through.Inspired by the biological structures found in nature,the integration of biomimicry and additive manufacturing(AM)technologies offers a new pathway for the innovative design of high-performance ceramic materials.This article systematically reviews the fundamental principles and classifications of ceramic AM technology,focusing on six typical elements of biomimetic structural design:coaxial composite structures,surface reinforcement structures,layered composite structures,porous structures,composite multicomponent structures,and intelligent bionic structures.The review delves into their biomimetic principles,preparation strategies,performance advantages,and research progress.Research indicates that through multiscale topological design and functional integration,these structures can significantly enhance the mechanical properties and environmental adaptability of ceramics.Nevertheless,current technologies still face numerous challenges in balancing manufacturing precision and efficiency,controlling cracks and residual stresses caused by interface defects,ensuring long-term material stability under extreme environments,enhancing intelligent response capabilities,and guaranteeing process scalability and performance consistency in clinical applications.Future research should integrate multidisciplinary approaches to optimize structural design and dynamic response,transforming biomimetic ceramic materials from‘biological replication'to‘performance exceeding',thereby providing theoretical and technical support for the customized development of high-performance ceramic devices.

摘要This paper presents an innovative approach to optimize the layout and sizing of composite truss skeleton of wing structures of solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicles,with a careful consideration of the mechanical behavior of joints.A novel finite element model is developed for the connecting joints,which incorporates both the locations and geometries of joints.Furthermore,substructure and parallel computing methods are implemented to tackle the challenges associated with optimizing large-scale trusses.Numerical examples show that the integrated optimization gives a more favorable design in terms of load-carrying performance and weight saving.Design schemes corresponding to different truss classification methods are discussed in terms of mechanical properties and manufacturing difficulties in numerical example.

摘要The paper develops a partitioned three-dimensional fluid-structure-acoustic method to predict the flutter behaviors of a composite panel with a cavity beneath it in supersonic airflow.A higher-order shear deformation theory is employed for laminated panel modeling,considering zigzag effect,and panel's large deformation is accounted for by incorporating nonlinear von Kármán strains.The supersonic airflow is formulated by the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations within the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian framework,which are solved by a finite volume method.Additionally,the sound waves considering finite-amplitude effects,are calculated using a nonlinear finite element method.An implicit partitioned coupling method is used to establish the strong coupling between the unsteady supersonic airflow,composite panel with large deformation,and nonlinear sound waves,which is confirmed through a monolithic fluid-structure-acoustic coupling method.It is revealed that the composite panel-cavity aeroelastic system exhibits a special flutter induced by acoustic resonance,underscoring the crucial role of acoustic-elastic coupling in nonlinear aeroelastic responses.The impact of instability coefficients on flutter dynamics,as derived from linear modal analysis,is discussed,emphasizing that long-time scales are required for the establishment of acoustic resonance within the cavity.The findings suggest that flutter induced by acoustic resonance leads to an acoustic environment with high sound pressure levels in the cavity,particularly in shallow cavities,which could potentially cause detrimental acoustic fatigue of the structure.
摘要Composite structures have become integral to modern construction owing to their efficiency,strength,and economic benefits,with steel-headed studs serving as critical shear connectors between concrete slabs and steel beams.Existing research has investigated these connectors through push-out and pull-out experiments,fatigue and cyclic protocols,durability and temperature-extreme studies,and a wide range of analytical,numerical,and data-driven models.This study addresses the lack of a consolidated and critical review by combining a systematic review with a bibliometric assessment of 385 Scopus-indexed publications from 2000 to 2025,which shows sustained growth of research output and concentration of highly cited contributions in leading composite-structures outlets.The systematic synthesis highlights that stud performance depends strongly on geometry,grouped-stud interaction,and the surrounding cementitious matrix,and it shows that advanced concretes mixes often increase peak resistance while shifting governing failure toward stud or weld-related mechanisms.Design-code comparisons reported in the reviewed literature indicate that resistance predictions may deviate substantially in ultra-high performance concrete configurations,which supports the need for mode-aware provisions rather than direct extension of normal-concrete formulations.The modeling review identifies a progression from empirical equations toward nonlinear finite element simulation and interpretable machine learning trained on large databases,while noting that design adoption requires transparent applicability limits and physically consistent predictors.The paper concludes by consolidating design implications and by defining targeted research priorities on grouped studs,mixed-action fatigue,durability degradation factors,and interpretable data-driven tools for code-oriented design of composite shear connections.

摘要The impact of cyclic heat treatment and acid etching on microstructure and corrosion performance of AA7075 was investigated.The microstructure of the alloy was characterized by EPMA,SEM and TEM,and the corrosion resistance of the alloy was studied by intergranular corrosion test.The results show that driven by continuous thermal energy and content gradient generated by the cyclic heat treatment and acid etching,Mg atoms in the surface layer of AA7075 continuously cross grain boundaries.Finally,a compositional gradient layer with a thickness of 185μm is formed.The surface layer of AA7075 after the dealloying treatment demonstrates reduced intergranular corrosion susceptibility,which is due to low anodic and discontinuously distributed grain boundary precipitates in the dealloyed surface layer.
摘要Neural-Network Response Surfaces (NNRS) is applied to replace the actual expensive finite element analysis during the composite structural optimization process. The Orthotropic Experiment Method (OEM) is used to select the most appropriate design samples for network training. The trained response surfaces can either be objective function or constraint conditions. Together with other conven- tional constraints, an optimization model is then set up and can be solved by Genetic Algorithm (GA). This allows the separation between design analysis modeling and optimization searching. Through an example of a hat-stiffened composite plate design, the weight response surface is constructed to be objective function, and strength and buckling response surfaces as constraints; and all of them are trained through NASTRAN finite element analysis. The results of optimization study illustrate that the cycles of structural analysis ean be remarkably reduced or even eliminated during the optimization, thus greatly raising the efficiency of optimization process. It also observed that NNRS approximation can achieve equal or even better accuracy than conventional functional response surfaces.

摘要Flaxseed lignan macromolecules(FLM)are a class of important secondary metabolites in fl axseed,which have been widely concerned due to their biological and pharmacological properties,especially for their antioxidative activity.For the composition and structure of FLM,our results confirmed that ferulic acid glycoside(FerAG)was directly ester-linked with herbacetin diglucoside(HDG)or pinoresinol diglucoside(PDG),which might determine the beginning of FLM biosynthesis.Additionally,p-coumaric acid glycoside(CouAG)might determine the end of chain extension during FLM synthesis in fl axseed.FLM exhibited higher antioxidative activity in polar systems,as shown by its superior 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)free radical scavenging capacity compared to the 2,2’-azinobis(3-ehtylbenzothiazolin-6-sulfnic acid)(ABTS)cation free radical scavenging capacity in non-polar systems.Moreover,the antioxidative activity of FLM was found to be highly dependent on its composition and structure.In particular,it was positively correlated with the number of phenolic hydroxyl groups(longer FLM chains)and inversely related to the steric hindrance at the ends(lower levels of FerAG and CouAG).These fi ndings verifi ed the potential application of FLM in nonpolar systems,particularly in functional food emulsions。

摘要Despite the presence of Li F components in the solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)formed on the graphite anode surface by conventional electrolyte,these Li F components primarily exist in an amorphous state,rendering them incapable of effectively inhibiting the exchange reaction between lithium ions and transition metal ions in the electrolyte.Consequently,nearly all lithium ions within the SEI film are replaced by transition metal ions,resulting in an increase in interphacial impedance and a decrease in stability.Herein,we demonstrate that the SEI film,constructed by fluoroethylene carbonate(FEC)additive rich in crystalline Li F,effectively inhibits the undesired Li+/Co2+ion exchange reaction,thereby suppressing the deposition of cobalt compounds and metallic cobalt.Furthermore,the deposited cobalt compounds exhibit enhanced structural stability and reduced catalytic activity with minimal impact on the interphacial stability of the graphite anode.Our findings reveal the crucial influence of SEI film composition and structure on the deposition and hazards associated with transition metal ions,providing valuable guidance for designing next-generation electrolytes.

摘要Near-space airship is a frontier and hotspot in current military research and development,and the near-space composite propeller is the key technology for its development.In order to obtain higher aerodynamic efficiency at an altitude of 22 km,a certain near-space composite propeller is designed as a long and slender aerodynamic shape with a 10 m diameter,which brings many challenges to the composite structure design.The initial design is obtained by the composite structure variable stiffness design method using based on fixed region division blending model.However,it weighs 23.142 kg,exceeding the required 20 kg.In order to meet the structural design requirements of the propeller,a variable stiffness design method using the adaptive region division blending model is proposed in this paper.Compared with the methods using the fixed region division blending model,this method optimizes region division,stacking thickness and stacking sequence in a single level,considering the coupling effect among them.Through a more refined region division,this method can provide a more optimal design for composite tapered structures.Additionally,to improve the efficiency of optimization subjected to manufacturing constraints,a hierarchical penalty function is proposed to quickly filter out the solutions that do not meet manufacturing constraints.The above methods combined with a Genetic Algorithm(GA)using specific encoding are adopted to optimize the near-space composite propeller.The optimal design of the structure weighs 18.831 kg,with all manufacturing constraints and all structural response constraints being satisfied.Compared with the initial design,the optimal design has a more refined region division,and achieves a weight reduction of 18.6%.This demonstrates that a refined region division can significantly improve the mechanical performance of the composite tapered structure.

摘要The structural evolution of undercooled single-phase Ni-2wt%Pb monotectic alloy was systematically investigated by the method of molten glass denucleating combined with superheating cycle. Within the achieved undercooling range of 22 to 280 K, the solidification structure undergoes three changes at 22 K, 88 K and 187 K, respectively. With the increase of undercooling, common dendrites, the first class granular grains, undercooled dendrites and the second class granular grains come out one after the other. Analytical results show that the granulation mechanism of the first class granular grains is owing to dendrite remelting and recrystallization, and the granulation mechanism of the second is owing to dendrite break-up and recrystallization.

摘要In-service structural health monitoring(SHM) technologies are critical for the utilization of composite aircraft structures. We developed a Lamb wave-based in-service SHM technology using built-in piezoelectric actuator/sensor networks to monitor delamination extension in a full-scale composite horizontal tail. The in-service SHM technology combine of damage rapid monitoring(DRM) stage and damage imaging diagnosis(DID) stage allows for real-time monitoring and long term tracking of the structural integrity of composite aircraft structures. DRM stage using spearman rank correlation coeffi cient was introduced to generate a damage index which can be used to monitor the trend of damage extension. The DID stage based on canonical correlation analysis aimed at intuitively highlighting structural damage regions in two-dimensional images. The DRM and DID stages were trialed by an in-service SHM experiment of CFRP T-joint. Finally, the detection capability of the in-service SHM technology was verified in the SHM experiment of a full-scale composite horizontal tail. Experimental results show that the rapid monitoring method effectively monitors the damage occurrence and extension tendency in real time; damage imaging diagnosis results are consistent with those from the failure model of the composite horizontal tail structure.

摘要Backfill-rock composite structures(BRCSs)are crucial for the stability of underground mining areas.However,during the mining and backfilling cycles,they are subjected to coupled dynamic-static loading.Herein,to systematically investigate the mechanical properties of BRCSs under in situ mining and filling stress loading,true triaxial dynamic-static tests were conducted.First,the effects of the depth,cement-tailings(C/T)ratio by mass,and interfacial angle(IA)on the composite strength,deformation characteristics,and failure modes were systematically investigated.Subsequently,the evolution of acoustic emission(AE)signal parameters during BRCS failure was analyzed.Finally,a damage constitutive model was established based on the AE energy analysis.With increasing depth,C/T ratio,and I A,the peak strength and elastic modulus of the BRCS exhibited an upward trend,and the strain during the loading-unloading disturbance stages correspondingly increased.At a C/T ratio of 1:8,the specimens exhibited a rock-dominated load-carrying capacity with distinct brittle failure.Conversely,at a C/T ratio of 1:4,the specimens demonstrated a coupled backfill-rock load-carrying capacity,exhibiting ductile failure in the shallow regions and a transition to brittle failure in the deeper zones.AE signals were concentrated during loading-unloading disturbance,plastic yielding,and failure stages.The dominant failure mode was tensile-shear composite fracture,with the proportion of shear cracks gradually increasing with depth.The damage evolution process of a BRCS can be divided into three stages:initial,accelerated,and ultimate failures.This study provides an important theoretical basis and practical guidance for optimizing C/T ratio and enhancing stability assessment in backfilled mine designs.
