In real physical experiments, three typical deformation stages including elastic deformation stage, symmetric deformation stage, and asymmetric deformation stage appear step by step when the stainless steel hemispherical shell structure is under axial compression loading. During the asymmetric deformation stage, the rolling-plastic-hinge-radius which characterizes the size of the deformation area evolves along the circumferential direction with the compressive displacement. For the hemispherical shell structures with apparent asymmetric deformation stage, the double-buckling phenomenon of the structures in experiments can be clearly detected. The traditional theoretical analysis based on the assumption with circumferentially constant rolling-plastic-hinge-radius is not suitable to predict this phenomenon. For these hemispherical shell structures, load capacity and absorbed energy predicted by the traditional analysis are usually higher than experimental results in the asymmetric deformation stage. In this paper, a new description based on experimental observation for the evolution of rolling-plastic-hinge-radius has been proposed. Minimum energy principle was employed to obtain the postbuckling behavior. The energy evolution of different buckling stages during compression loading is investigated to evaluate the structure load capacity. Stainless steel hemispherical specimens with different sizes are tested under axial compression between two rigid plates to verify the theoretical modification. Good agreement is achieved between proposed model and experimental results. The theoretical model proposed in this paper can be used in prediction of postbuckling behavior for different deformation patterns in the asymmetric deformation stage. It also provides higher flexibility and efficiency for the postbuckling behavior prediction of hemispherical shell structures.

SummaryThe use of acrylic connecting bars in external fixators has become widespread in veterinary orthopaedics. One of the main advantages of an acrylic connecting bar is the ability to contour it into a curved shape. This allows the surgeon to place the transcortical pins according to safety and convenience considerations, without being bound by the requirement of the standard stainless steel connecting bar, that all transcortical pins be in the same plane.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stiffness of unilateral and bilateral medium-sized external fixator frames with different curvatures of acrylic connecting bars. Finite element analysis was used to model the various frames and obtain their stiffness under four types of load: Axial compression, four-point medio-lateral bending, fourpoint antero-posterior bending and torsion. The analysis also provided the maximal pin stresses occurring in each frame for each loading condition.Based on the results of this study, curvatures of acrylic connecting bars of up to a maximal angular difference between pins of 25° will result in very similar stiffness and maximal pin stresses to those of the equivalent, uniplanar stainless steel system. In both unilateral and bilateral systems the stiffness decreases slightly as angulation increases for axial compression and medio-lateral bending, increases slightly for torsion and increases substantially for antero-posterior bending.External fixator systems with curved acrylic connecting bars are commonly used in veterinary orthopaedics. This paper evaluates the biomechanical performance of such systems by applying the finite element analysis method. It shows that external fixators with curved acrylic connecting bars exhibit stiffness and maximal pin stresses which are similar to those of the standard stainless steel system.

Double composite flexible absorbing fabrics were fabricated according to the resistance matching principle and electromagnetic spreading regulation. The surface layer, composed of stainless steel core-spun yarn, easily realized matching to the free space. The under layer made up of iron fiber which had significant microwave absorbing effects. The reflectivity of fabrics were measured by the means of "arch testing method" in the range from 2~18 GHz with the change of fabric specifications. The results showed that the reflectivities of 12 groups can below-15 dB in the 20 groups testing and the second group which below-20dB was thin and only 440g/m2with the optimized fabric specifications.
