Biocompatibility evaluation of polyethylene terephthalate artificial ligament coating hydroxyapatite by fibroblasts cells in vitro

Hydroxyapatite (HA) based materials have been widely used in the field of ligament tissue engineering in the past decades. It has been previously reported that HA can increase the penetration of marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSCs cells into scaffolds due to increased cell differentiation in biological media. Additionally, it was found that there are much difference between MSCs and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) cells. For that reason, we mainly evaluate the biocompatibility of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) silk scaffold with fibroblasts cells in vitro. We cultured mouse fibroblasts cells on the substrate of PET fiber and PET-HA scaffold, respectively, and then observed the morphology by using scanning electron microscopy. Our data indicate that PET-HA scaffold has good biocompatibility with fibroblasts cells and can potentially be useful in enhancing the fibroblasts cell differentiation and proliferation.     

冻土帷幕设置加热限位管时温度场数值分析

为解决现有人工冻结法施工后周围地层产生冻胀融沉所引发的不良后果问题,设置加热限位管对冻土帷幕的发展进行限制。运用有限元软件分析在冻土帷幕主面上设置加热限位管时对冻土帷幕温度场发展的影响规律,主要得出： 随着加热限位管盐水温度的升高,冻土帷幕厚度呈线性减小趋势;限位管循环盐水温度越高,最终形成的冻土帷幕边界平整性就越好,从而具有较好的限位效果;限位管应与冻结管对齐设置在冻土帷幕主面上;限位管与冻结管距离由最终控制冻土帷幕的厚度决定;循环热盐水的温度不宜过高,宜为5~10 ℃。     

CFRP布修复隧道中冻融损伤混凝土抗弯构件力学性能研究

为了进一步研究碳纤维（carbon fiber reinforced polymer, CFRP）修复隧道中冻融损伤混凝土抗弯构件的力学性能,对CFRP布修复冻融损伤混凝土构件进行抗弯试验,研究CFRP布全、分包修复不同冻融损伤试件的效果。试验结果表明： CFRP布能有效提高损伤试件的承载力、延性性能,尤其是全包方式;随着冻融次数的增加,CFRP布修复试件的承载力逐渐降低,中性轴上移速度越来越快;通过理论计算,得到了不同冻融损伤程度修复构件的抗弯承载力公式,并利用ABAQUS有限元软件进行模拟,得到的计算值、模拟值与试验值进行比较,结果吻合较好。     

考虑拉剪耦合作用地震边坡稳定性分析

基于拉剪耦合作用,对Mohr-Coulomb强度准则进行修正。在不同坡高、不同高宽比的边坡底部入射3条经典地震波,对边坡进行动力稳定性分析。首先采用显式迭代子增量法编写考虑拉剪耦合作用的Mohr-Coulomb强度准则子程序,并在边坡模型的截断边界添加黏弹性人工边界、输入等效地震荷载,模拟边坡受到的地震作用;然后以单元分别受到压缩和拉伸作用为例验证子程序的正确性;通过与已有地震边坡的研究结果对比,表明在地震边坡分析中若不考虑材料的拉剪耦合作用,得出的结论偏危险;最后在边坡底部垂直入射3条地震波,分析不同坡高、不同高宽比的边坡在2种强度准则下安全系数的区别。研究结果表明：不同边坡（坡高、高宽比不同）在不同地震波（El-Centro,Kobe,Northridge）作用下的安全系数各不相同,但安全系数都随坡高增加和坡角增大而降低;考虑拉剪耦合作用边坡的安全系数小于不考虑拉剪耦合作用边坡的安全系数,并且其安全系数的变化各有特点;坡高和高宽比的变化影响边坡对地震波频段的响应;分析地震边坡的稳定性,应综合考虑材料的拉剪耦合作用以及边坡高度和高宽比的变化规律。     

连云新城海滩清淤工程维护效果研究

淤泥质海岸人工沙滩的维护问题日益为人们所关注。在平衡水深概念推导出的海床冲淤公式的基础上,通过对平衡流速的假设,增加了因水深改变而引起的海床冲淤,推广了适用于计算自然滩面下海床冲淤的公式。通过推广后的公式计算了连云新城海滩清淤工程的泥沙冲淤。计算结果表明：各清淤方案有使海床恢复到自然水深的趋势,且均有泥滩出露的现象,需要进行定期的疏浚维护。

哈齐客运专线路基冻胀变形研究

通过对哈齐客运专线路基冻胀变形监测,获得(2012～2013年)路基的冻胀变形发展情况,分析了冻胀变形发生和发展规律。研究结果表明:各监测点冻胀变形随时间发展变化规律基本一致,路基冻胀变形经历了包括冻胀快速发展期、冻胀维持期、冻融循环期和融化回落期4个阶段;路基冻胀变形的发生具有普遍性,但冻胀量较大的监测点所占比例较小,说明其冻胀变形还是可控的。     

Modelling heavy vehicle car‐following behaviour in congested traffic conditions

This study develops a car‐following model in which heavy vehicle behaviour is predicted separately from passenger car. Heavy vehicles have different characteristics and manoeuvrability compared with passenger cars. These differences could create problems in freeway operations and safety under congested traffic conditions (level of service E and F) particularly when there is high proportion of heavy vehicles. With increasing numbers of heavy vehicles in the traffic stream, model estimates of the traffic flow could be degrades because existing car‐following models do not differentiate between these vehicles and passenger cars. This study highlighted some of the differences in car‐following behaviour of heavy vehicle and passenger drivers and developed a model considering heavy vehicles. In this model, the local linear model tree approach was used to incorporate human perceptual imperfections into a car‐following model. Three different real world data sets from a stretch of freeway in USA were used in this study. Two of them were used for the training and testing of the model, and one of them was used for evaluation purpose. The performance of the model was compared with a number of existing car‐following models. The results showed that the model, which considers the heavy vehicle type, could predict car‐following behaviour of drivers better than the existing models.
