    Abstract2233)      PDF(pc) (839KB)(971)       Save

    Based on the work of Stumpf and Badur (1990) some problems related with the multiplicative decomposition FFeFp in finite elasto-plasticity have been investigated in detail. It is pointed out that there is no chance to supply an additional independent constitutive equation for plastic and/or elastoplastic spin since it can be represented, in general,by elastic and plastic stretches, as well as elastic and plastic deformation rates. It is especially for the case of rigid-finite plastic deformation suitable for metallic materials, the explicit representation of plastic spin, objective rate of back-stress and its relation with the Zaremba-Jaumann rate. Finally, a suitable way is pointed out that can supply an additional constitutive equation to plastic spin is the use of additive decomposition of elastoplastic deformation rates.

    There are three important structural features in complex networks: small-world effect, scale-free property and network’s navigability. Typical models reflecting these features, respectively, are the Watts-Strogatz’s model, the Barabási-Albert’s model and the Kleinberg’s model. Based on the typical models, a new model of growing and navigable networks is proposed, with the generated networks possessing all these features simultaneously. The results of navigation obtained by using a greedy algorithm on networks of the model are similar to, or even better than, that of the Kleinberg’s model.

    Abstract2081)      PDF(pc) (511KB)(765)       Save

    With the growing requirement of moving object capture in embedded systems, it is hard to tradeoff the conflict requirements of resolution and capture speed. The proposed method splits motion capture process into motion detection and target capture, which have different emphases on resolution and speed. Using an active-pixel architecture, CMOS image sensor’s hardware characteristics can randomly access the sensor’s image buffer to achieve the switch between working modes of varying trait on the digital signal processing (DSP) platform. Thus, both capture speed and resolution can be guaranteed. With the proposed method, ordinary chips can achieve better performances, which otherwise would require higher performance chips.

    Phase shift is applied to calculate parameters from photoelastic fringe patterns. Stress components are determined with shear stress differential methods. In planar polariscope, four fringe patterns with specific angles are acquired and the phase map of the orientation of principal stresses derived from isoclinics according to four-step phase stepping. A method is proposed to determine orientation of the first principal stress in the entire field. Similar to Tardy compensation, isochromatic fringe patterns are analyzed in 8 discrete directions. In each direction, phase shift is achieved by rotating the analyzer in the circularly polarized field. With information of the orientation of the first principal stress, the phase map of isochromatics for the entire field is constructed from the 8 phase maps. Thus, stress components within the photoelastic model can be determined. An example is given to illustrate the merits of the proposed methods.

    Based on ANSYS CFX 10.0, full 3D numerical simulations of axial-flow pump arrangement are carried out under different operating conditions using two different turbulent models to solve the Reynolds-averaged NavierStokes equations. The head and hydraulic efficiency of pump arrangement are computed, and comparisons made between the calculated and measured results. The trend of calculated results agrees with the experimental results. In the vicinity of the highest efficiency point, the head relative error computed using the standard  k-ε  is the smallest. The computed head is higher than the experimented head with increasing discharge. It is lower than the experimented head with decreasing discharge.

    Interaction between Soil and Inclusions in Retaining Wall Reinforced -with Horizontal and Vertical Inclusions
    PENG Meng-Yuan, HUANG Chao, PENG Ji-Min, ZHANG Meng-Xi
    Journal of Shanghai University(Natural Science Edition)    2009, 15 (2): 199-204.  
    Abstract2217)      PDF(pc) (750KB)(1333)       Save

    In conventional reinforced soils, the reinforcements are often laid horizontally in the soil. A novel concept of soil reinforced with horizontal and vertical (H-V) reinforcements is proposed in this paper. In the proposed H-V reinforced soil, besides conventional horizontal reinforcements, some vertical reinforcing elements are also placed in the soil. The finite element method is used to analyze the interaction between soil and reinforcements. The strength reduction method is used to study instability of the retaining wall. With the method of c-tanφreduction, comparisons between H-V reinforced soil and traditional reinforced soil in the safety factor and plastic strain distribution are made when the finite element method (FEM) models reach instability.
