Bi-stable structure can be stable in both its extended and coiled forms. For the elastic isotropic shell, a theoretical model in terms of only two parameters is proposed. Based on the principle of minimum potential energy, the conditions for bi-stability of isotropic shell are derived. The results indicate that, a pre-stressed shell will have its two stable states if the acting pre-stress satisfies some confined conditions. Further, the bi-stable model is improved taking into account boundary effect of the shell. The results show the rolled-up radius for the second stable state becomes larger. Meanwhile, using shell element in ABAQUS code, numerical simulation on bi-stable process is carried out. The numerical results of rolled-up radius characterizing the bi-stability agree well with the predicted results.

The friction fields of a novel drafting device based on the ring spinning frame are investigated in terms of numerical simulation and experimental studies. In numerical simulation, the results demonstrate that the dynamic pressure distribution in the drafting zone is presented in the form of wave undulation in the main drafting zone. Besides this, the pressure peak greatly increases close to the front nip. The effect of different spacers and middle roller speeds on the pressure distribution was also simulated, which indicates that the dynamic pressure decreases strictly with increasing spacer size, while at middle roller speeds of 0.18 rad/s and 0.26 rad/s the pressure distributions only show a significant difference at the pins nip and not throughout the drafting zone. For experimental studies, the friction fields of the novel drafting device were tested with different spacers. The peaks of the friction field decrease with the increasing spacing in the main drafting zone. The friction force shows a wavy undulation in the direction of the middle roller nip to the front roller nip, and there is also a great increase in the peak of the friction force near the front roller nip. Analysis of the properties of the three yarns spun by the novel draft device under different spacers shows that changing the spacer affects the friction forces of the drafting zone and has a significant effect on the yarn evenness, imperfections, and strength, but not on the hairiness.

A novel structure of barrier controlled tunnel FET is proposed in the paper. The principles of gate work function engineering and channel doping engineering are combined to form up an in channel potential barrier, which can tune the source to drain tunnel current. The proposed structure serves as an alternative solution of barrier controlled tunnel FET fabrication, which combines the merits of the barrier controlled traditional MOSFET device and the bandgap controlled tunnel device. With carbon nanotube as the channel material, the device performance of the novel structure is verified using numerical simulation under the non-equilibrium Green’s function framework.

Precast concrete (PC) plays an important role in the industrialization processes of buildings, so it is critical to study the seismic performance of such structures. Several experimental and numerical studies have been conducted to investigate the behavior of PC beam-to-column connections. However, most of the previous studies neglect the contribution of slabs. In light of this, this paper presents a numerical simulation method for dry connected beam-slab assemblies based on the layered shell element available in OpenSees. The beams were modeled with fiber elements, while the slabs were modeled with layered shell elements. The developed model was validated by simulating a typical beam-slab assembly test, with the characteristics of hysteretic performance found to be well reflected by the model. Moreover, a parametric study was performed to quantify the influence of slab parameters. The results showed that the thickness of the slab had a significant effect on the hysteretic performance of the specimen and that the influence of the slab width was obviously reduced after it exceeded a certain limit. Besides, the effect of the reinforcement ratio on stiffness and loadbearing capacity was not obvious and was accompanied by a slight positive correlation with the energy dissipation capacity.
