Robust Stability and Performance Comparison of PID and PPI Control

Predictive PI (PPI) control form, capable of time delay compensation, has been put forward recently.This control algorithm is essentially a PI controller with enhanced derivative action, which is not only suitable for long time delay process, but also of simple structure and excellent robust stability. The performance of PPI controller was demonstrated and compared with that of traditional PID controller by different tuning methods.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Polyurethane and Epoxy Resin Interpenetrating Polymer Network

A series of Polyurethane (PU)/bisphenol A based Epoxy Resin (EP) Interpenetrating Polymer Networks(IPN) were synthesized and characterized by SEM, DSC, TGA and DMTA. It was found that IPN shows the best compatibility and damping properties when the ratio of PU/EP is 80 to 20. The results show that chain-extender and higher molecular weight of PPG are able to improve the properties of compatibility, damping and thermal properties.     

On Restricted Connectivity and Extra Connectivity of Hypercubes and Folded Hypercubes

Given a graph G and a non-negative integer h, the h-restricted connectivity k^h(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices of G, in which at least h neighbors of any vertex is not included, if any, whose deletion disconnects G and every remaining component has the minimum degree of vertex at least h; and the h-extra connectivity k^h(G) Of G is the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices of G, if any, whose deletion disconnects G and every remaining component has order more than h. This paper shows that for the hypercube Qn and the folded hypercube FQn, k1(Qn)=k^（1）(Qn)=2n-2 for n≥3, k2(Qn)=3n-5 for n≥4, k1(FQn)=k^(1)(FQn)=2n for n≥4 and k^(2)(FQn)=4n-4 for n≥8.

Simulation and analysis of flexible solar panels’ deployment and locking processes

To predict the attitude of satellite during the whole deployment process and evaluate the lockingimpact, a numerical flexible model of a certain satellite associated with four flexible honeycomb solar panelswas established. The flexible solar panel was modeled by the finite element analysis (FEA), and the motionequations were derived by Lagrangian formulation. The locking process was based on the method of Hertziancontact, which enables one to predict the locking impact on the satellite and the subsequent oscillation of solarpanels. The results reveal that locking operation has great impact on the attitude of the satelhte, and theangular acceleration of satellite reaches 22.03 °/s2 at the locking moment; the flexible solar panels model isfeasible to predict the accurate response of the satelhte during deployment and the oscillation of solar panels;the instantly impulsive force occurred during locking process is about 1.5 kN and the changing time is nearly0.32 s. It provides an effective approach to present the flexible solar panels' deployment process and evaluatethe locking impact.

表面处理对HDPE/EVA/EG复合材料性能的影响

为了获得热稳定、阻燃和力学性能均较好的复合材料,以高密度聚乙烯/乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯(HDPE/EVA)共混物为基体,可膨胀石墨(EG)作为无卤阻燃剂,通过熔融共混方法制备了HDPE/EVA/EG阻燃复合材料.采用热重分析(TGA)、锥形量热仪、电子扫描电镜(SEM)等方法研究了钛酸酯偶联剂改性前后EG对复合材料的热稳定性能、阻燃性能以及力学性能的影响.研究结果表明, EG能提高聚合物基体材料的热稳定性能和阻燃性能,但力学性能降低;用钛酸酯偶联剂对EG改性后, HDPE/EVA/EG复合材料的断裂伸长率从232.3%提高到315.3%,拉伸强度由9.0 MPa增到了10.0 MPa,冲击强度由88 kJ/m2提高到129 kJ/m2.偶联剂的存在提高了EG与基体间的界面粘结力,使阻燃复合材料的综合力学性能得到改善.

Effect of Gr Content and Hot Extrusion on Tensile Properties of （Nano-SiCp~-Gr）/Cu Composites Fabricated by Powder Metallurgy

Novel hybrid Cu matrix composites reinforced by graphite (Gr) particle with volume fraction of 5%?C15% and nano-SiC particle (nano-SiCp) with volume fraction of 3% have been prepared by powder metallurgy. The results show that Gr and nano-SiCp distribute uniformly in the Cu matrix. With increasing the volume fraction of Gr, the tensile strength of the composites decreases from 114 to 51MPa and the elastic modulus decreases from 75 to 60GPa. Compared with the sintered composites, the tensile properties including elastic modulus, tensile strength, yield strength and tensile elongation of the hot-extruded (nano-SiCp+Gr)/Cu composites are improved greatly due to higher relative density of the composites and more uniform distribution of Gr and nano-SiCp, in addition to finer grain size of the matrix as a result of dynamic recovery and recrystallization which occur during hot extrusion process.     

Investigation on mechanism of the improvement in tribological properties of carbon fiber reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene composites by surface treatment

Tribological properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites filled with differently surface treated carbon fibers (CF), sliding against GCr15 steel under dry sliding conditions, were investigated on a block-on-ring M-2000 tribometer. Experimental results reveal that rare earths (RE) surface treatment reduces the friction and wear of CF-reinforced PTFE (CF/PTFE) composites. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation of worn surfaces of CF/PTFE composites shows that cracks or pores are visible on the worn surfaces of untreated and air-oxidated composite, while no crack and very few pores present on the worn surface of REtreated composite. The fiber-friction-angling effect makes carbon fibers angled and oriented along the frictional shearing force, and finally parallel to the friction surface, which makes interfacial adhesion become a key factor to tribological properties of CF/PTFE composite. With strong interfacial adhesion between carbon fiber and PTFE after RE surface treatment, carbon fibers are not easily detachable from the PTFE matrix in the process of fiber-friction-angling, which prevents the rubbing-off of PTFE, and accordingly improves the friction and wear properties of the composite.     

A generalized self-consistent model for interfacial debonding behavior of fiber reinforced rubber matrix sealing composites

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study of short-fiber-reinforced rubber matrix sealing composites(SFRC). The transverse tensile stress-strain curves of SFRC are obtained by experiments. Based on the generalized self-consistent method, a representative volume element(RVE) model is established, and the cohesive zone model is employed to investigate the interfacial failure behavior. The effect of interphase properties on the interfacial debonding behavior of SFRC is numerically investigated. The results indicate that an interphase thickness of 0.3 μm and an interphase elastic modulus of about 502 MPa are optimal to restrain the initiation of the interfacial debonding. The interfacial debonding of SFRC mainly occurs between the matrix/interphase interface,which agrees well with results by scanning electron microscope(SEM).

Fabrication of a Novel Porous Poly（Vinylidene Fluoride） Blend Five-Bore Membrane for Wastewater Treatment

Porous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blend five-bore hollow fiber membranes are prepared by wet phase inversion methods. In spinning these PVDF hollow fibers, N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) are used as the solvent and the non-solvent additive, respectively. The external coagulant uses water. The internal coagulants use water and DMAc-water solutions. The membranes are characterized in terms of water flux and molecular weight cut-off for the wet membranes. The cross-sectional structures are examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of polymer concentration and the internal coagulant on the permeation properties and membrane structures are examined keeping the bore liquid flow and air-gap constants. Relative high flux, rejection and strengh PVDF five-bore hollow fiber membranes could be prepared from the polymer concentration in dope solution at 17% of mass fraction, the air gap distance of 14 cm, and using 10% of mass fraction of DMAc solution as the internal coagulant at 13mL/min of flow.
