The elastic ring is widely used in elastic support structures of aero-engine because of its simple structure and convenient manufacturing. In this paper, two elastic ring models, 3D and 2D models, are proposed, where the fillets between the bulges and ring are considered. The 2D model is more efficient for the calculation of stiffness characteristics. The 3D model can be used to obtain the maximum stress position in the axial direction. Then the experimental testing is carried out to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed models. Based on the proposed models, the stiffness nonlinearity and critical load of the elastic ring are found for the first time, which can be used to determine the normal working load range. Moreover, the elastic ring models with and without fillets are developed, and the effect of the fillets on stress is discussed. The results show that the stress is reduced by considering the fillets, which are not considered in the existing literature.

AbstractOrthorhombic edingtonite has been found coexisting with tetragonal edingtonite in a specimen from Ice River, British Columbia, Canada.We report data on the composition and crystal structure of the orthorhombic sample. Lattice parameters are: a = 9.5341(6), b = 9.6446(6), c = 6.5108(7)Å, V = 598.68(8)Å 3. The crystal structure was refined in space group P 21212 to R1 = 1.8% using 879 observed reflections. For the first time, evidence for splitting of the extra-framework Ba site in two different sites (Ba1, Ba2), ~0.37 Å apart, is demonstrated. A comparison with the published crystal structures of tetragonal and orthorhombic edingtonite is made.The present result supports the suggestion that the two edingtonite phases are a consequence of different nucleation phenomena and not different physicochemical conditions.

Abstract Low-dimensional materials with broken inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling can give rise to fascinating quantum phases and phase transitions. Here we report coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism below 2.5 K in the quasione dimensional crystals of non-centrosymmetric (TaSe4)3I (space group: P¯421c). The unique phase is a direct consequence of inversion symmetry breaking as the same material also stabilizes in a centro-symmetric structure (space group: P4/mnc) where it behaves like a non-magnetic insulator[1–4]. The coexistence here upfront contradicts the popular belief that superconductivity and ferromagnetism are two apparently antagonistic phenomena. Notably, here, for the first time, we have clearly detected Meissner effect in the superconducting state despite the coexisting ferromagnetic order. The coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism projects non-centrosymmetric (TaSe4)3I as a host for complex ground states of quantum matter including possible unconventional superconductivity with elusive spin-triplet pairing[5–8].

The crystal structures of the two hydrates Na2SeO4·10H2O and Na2SeO4·7.5H2O are studied for the first time. The structures of Na2SO4·10H2O and Na2SO4·7H2O are reinvestigated as a function of temperature with respect to the degree of disorder of the O atoms of {\rm SO}_{4}^{2-} in the decahydrate and the O atom of water in the heptahydrate. For Na2SO4·10H2O, the unit site occupancy factor (SOF) of O atoms of {\rm SO}_{4}^{2-} was determined at 120 K. After the temperature dependence of the lattice parameters was studied from 120 to 260 K, it was shown that SOF decreased from 1.0 at 120 K to 0.247 at room temperature. The interesting fact that two salts with different chemical compositions and different crystal structures (Na2SO4·7H2O, tetragonal, space groupP41212 and Na2SeO4·7.5H2O, monoclinic, space groupC2/c) can act mutually as a crystal nucleus is accounted for by similarities in certain fragments of their crystal structures. This phenomenon is attributed to similarities between particular elements of their structures.

The ferroic phase transition in LaEr(MoO4)3 has been analyzed for the first time. It has been confirmed that this compound undergoes a phase transition from a tetragonal system (paraelectric-paraelastic phase), with space group P-421m [β-Gd2(MoO4)3 averaged phase] to an orthorhombic system (ferroelectric-ferroelastic phase), with space group Pba2 [β'-Gd2(MoO4)3 phase] in a reversible process. This phenomenon, together with the observed demixing at high temperature has been studied using different techniques. LaEr(MoO4)3 samples have been obtained by the conventional solid-state synthesis. The thermal dependence of the crystal structure was studied by powder X-ray and neutron diffraction, following a new refining procedure in which the symmetry modes of atomic displacements from the paraelectric-paraelastic structure were analyzed. Dielectric spectroscopy measurements have confirmed the structural results, showing a very smooth phase transition. Finally, calculations within the framework of Density Functional Theory show a behavior of the lattice parameters similar to that observed in our experiments.

Abstract Dodecatungstosilicates free of crystal water were prepared for the first time by using tetraalkylammonium as cation. The crystal structure of the tetramethylammonium a-dodeeatungstosilicate [N(CH3)4]4SiW12O40 (1) and tetrabutylammonium) β-dodecatungstosilicate, [N(C4H9)4]4SiWi2040 (2) were solved by X-ray diffraction. (1) crystallizes tetragonal in the space group 14̅ with lattice parameters a = 14.642 Å; c= 12.706 Å; (2) orthorhombic, space group P212121 with a = 29.277 Å, b = 22.181 Å and c = 15.381 Å. The differences between the two isomeric heteropolyanions are discussed, especially the distances and angles between the tungsten atoms. Comparison of characteristic differences in the vibrational spectra permits the identification of the isomeric anions.

Ivabradine hydrochloride (IVA-HCl) (systematic name: {[3,4-dimethoxybicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1(6),2,4-trien-7-yl]methyl}[3-(7,8-dimethoxy-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepin-3-yl)propyl]methylazanium), is a novel medication used for the symptomatic management of stable angina pectoris. In many recent patents, it has been claimed to exist in a very large number of polymorphic, hydrated and solvated phases, although no detailed analysis of the structural features of these forms has been published to date. Here, we have successfully crystallized the tetrahydrate form of IVA-HCl (form β), C27H37N2O5 +·Cl−·4H2O, and elucidated its structure for the first time. Simultaneously, a new crystal form of IVA-HCl, i.e. the hemihydrate (form II), C27H37N2O5 +·Cl−·0.5H2O, was discovered. Its crystal structure was also accurately determined and compared to that of the tetrahydrate form. While the tetrahydrate form of IVA-HCl crystallized in the orthorhombic space group P212121, the new form (hemihydrate) was solved in the monoclinic space group P21. Detailed conformational and packing comparisons between the two forms have allowed us to understand the role of water in the crystal assembly of this hydrochloride salt. The stabilities of the two forms were compared theoretically by calculating the binding energy of the water in the crystal lattice using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The stability experiments show that the tetrahydrate is stable under high-humidity conditions, while the hemihydrate is stable under high-temperature conditions.
