Abstract Material and structure are the essential elements of all-dielectric metamaterials. Structure design for specific dielectric materials has been studied while the contribution of material and synergistic effect of material and structure have been overlooked in the past years. Herein, we propose the Material-Structure Integrated Design (MSID) methodology for all-dielectric metamaterials, increasing the degree of freedom in metamaterial design, to comprehensively optimize microwave absorption performance and further investigate the contribution of material and structure to absorption. A dielectric metamaterial absorber with an ultra-broadband absorption from 5.3 to 18.0 GHz is realized. Theoretical calculation and numerical simulation demonstrate that symphony of material and structure excites multiple resonance modes encompassing quarter-wavelength interference cancellation, spoof surface plasmon polariton mode, dielectric resonance mode and grating mode, which is essential to afford the desirable absorption performance. This work highlights the superiority of coupling of material and structure and provides an effective design and optimization strategy for all-dielectric metamaterial absorbers.

The Impact

In order to meet the increasing application requirements with regards to structural impact resistance in industries such as mining, construction, aerospace engineering, and disaster relief and mitigation, this paper designs a variant truss beam structure with a large shrinkage ratio and high impact resistance. Based on the principle of the curved trajectory of scissor mechanisms, this paper conducts a finite element simulation analysis of the impact load on the truss beam structure, a theoretical analysis of the impact response and a relevant prototype bench-top experiment, completing a full study on the impact resistance mechanism of the designed variant truss beam structure under the impact load. In the paper, the buffer effect of the external load impact on the variant truss beam structure is analyzed from the perspective of the energy change of elastic–plastic deformation. This paper proposes an optimization strategy for the variant truss beam structure with the energy absorption rate as the optimization index through extensive analysis of the parameter response surfaces. The strategy integrates analyses on the response characteristic analysis of various configuration materials to obtain an optimal combination of component parameters that ensures that the strength of the truss beam structure meets set requirements. The strategy provides a feasible method with which to verify the effectiveness and impact resistance of a variant truss structure design.

This paper presents a simple metamaterial design to achieve the triple-band near-perfect absorption response that can be used in the area of sensor application. The introduced absorber consists of an array of Au strip and a bulk flat Au film separated by an insulator dielectric layer. Three narrow-band resonance absorption peaks are obtained by superposing three different modes (a fundamental mode resonance and two high-order responses) of the Au strip. These resonance modes (in particular of the last two modes) have large sensitivity to the changes of the surrounding index, overlayer thickness and the refractive index of the overlayer.

Design And Manufacture

This paper presents a novel manufacturing technique for complex-shaped, hybrid metal composite structures leveraging the design freedom of additive manufacturing (AM). The key novelty of this research is an approach for an autoclave-suitable and removable tooling, which consists of a 3D-printed functional shell and a structural filler material. In this process, a layup shell is produced with AM and filled with a temperature-resistant curing support to form a removable inner tooling. The functional shell has integrated design features for the positioning and the fixation of metallic interface elements and is removed after curing through integrated breaking lines. The feasibility of this manufacturing technique is demonstrated by fabricating a novel lightweight structure for the hydraulic quadruped (HyQ) robot. Selective laser sintering (SLS) was used to produce the functional shell tooling. Titanium interface elements made via selective laser melting (SLM) were assembled to the shell and co-cured to carbon fiber using an autoclave prepreg process. The resulting multi-material structure was tested in ultimate strength and successfully operated on the HyQ robot. Weight savings of 55% compared to a reference design and the mechanical viability of the multi-material structure indicate that the proposed manufacturing technique is appropriate for individualized hybrid composite structures with complex geometries.

Active Noise

According to the phenomenon that the increasing noise of the ventilator in Longyan Beishan Coal Mine are caused by the bearings, this paper starts analyzing the reasons for the noise of the ventilator bearing, and thinks that the noise is mainly the active noise from the air and noise from the machines which are caused by vibrations. The noise of the ventilator bearing is related to such factors as its size, material, structure design, processing, assembling, loading, and lubrication. So it puts forward that workers should try to choose light, small-sized bearings so as to improve the quality of assembly, adjust the space and apply preloaded force; the workers should strengthen maintenance, use proper lubrication and enhance the monitoring.

A single-patterned five-band terahertz metamaterial absorber based on simple metal–dielectric–metal sandwich structure is investigated and demonstrated. The numerical simulations reveal the different dependence of the absorption ability on the incident polarization angle, dielectric layer, and structural dimensions of the single pattern. The extracted electric field distribution indicates that the five-band near-perfect absorption performance (average over 98%) mainly originates from the combination of LC, dipole, quadrupole, and high-order resonance. The researches on magnetic field and power loss density distributions further reveal the absorption mechanism. Moreover, additional resonance mode can be excited to form a six-band high-performance absorber only by adjusting some geometric dimensions of the single pattern with multiple resonance modes. The simple method provides us a very good idea to implement a super multi-band absorber. The proposed absorbers here can be applied in massive related fields, such as metamaterial sensors, thermal radiation, and imaging system.

And Control

Large cable shovel is a complex mechatronic system used for primary production in the open pit mine. For such structure-control highly coupled system, the conventional sequential design strategy (structure design followed by the control optimization in sequence) cannot manage this interaction adequately and explicitly. In addition, the large cable shovel consists of large number of sub-systems and/or disciplines, which also poses challenges to the global optimal design for large cable shovel. To enhance large cable shovel’s performance, an integrated design optimization strategy combining the structure-control simultaneous design (co-design) and the multidisciplinary design optimization is established in this study to perform the global optimization for the large cable shovel. In this proposed multidisciplinary co-design, the point-to-point trajectory planning method is extended to achieve the simultaneous optimization of the structure and control system. Besides the structure and control, the dynamics/vibration and energy consumption are taken into account in this multidisciplinary co-design. The objectives are to minimize the energy consumption per volume of ore and to minimize the excavating time. By comparing the multidisciplinary co-design and the conventional sequential design, it is found that the multidisciplinary co-design can not only make large cable shovel’s structure more compact with relatively small vibration, but also generate more flexible control speeds by making the best of the power motors.

Thermal Emitter

Thermal emitters with properties of wavelength-selective and narrowband have been highly sought after for a variety of potential applications due to their high energy efficiency in the mid-infrared spectral range. In this study, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate the tunable narrowband thermal emitter based on fully planar Si-W-SiN/SiNO multilayer, which is realized by the excitation of Tamm plasmon polaritons between a W layer and a SiN/SiNO-distributed Bragg reflector. In conjunction with electromagnetic simulations by the FDTD method, the optimum structure design of the emitter is implemented by 2.5 periods of DBR structure, and the corresponding emitter exhibits the nearly perfect narrowband absorption performance at the resonance wavelength and suppressed absorption performance in long wave range. Additionally, the narrowband absorption peak is insensitive to polarization mode and has a considerable angular tolerance of incident light. Furthermore, the actual high-quality Si-W-SiN/SiNO emitters are fabricated through lithography-free methods including magnetron sputtering and PECVD technology. The experimental absorption spectra of optimized emitters are found to be in good agreement with the simulated absorption spectra, showing the tunable narrowband absorption with all peak values of over 95%. Remarkably, the fabricated Si-W-SiN/SiNO emitter presents excellent high-temperature stability for several heating/cooling cycles confirmed up to 1200 K in Ar ambient. This easy-to-fabricate and tunable narrowband refractory emitter paves the way for practical designs in various photonic and thermal applications, such as thermophotovoltaic and IR radiative heaters.

Prediction Capability

The design architecture of a multidisciplinary problem-solving environment (MPSE) for supporting an efficient prediction capability for the response of continuous interacting systems under multiphysics conditions is presented. The system will be referred to as a Data Driven Environment for Multiphysics Applications (DDEMA) and will be primarily differentiated from previous MPSE efforts on its usage of data for improved confidence of simulation prediction. Its architecture takes into consideration information technologies, coupled multiphysics sciences, and data-driven practices to achieve steering of adaptive modeling and simulation of the underlying systemic behavior. Special emphasis is given on middleware implementation issues based on actor-agent abstractions. A description of the design objectives and architectural variations of DDEMA are also given in the context of two multidisciplinary applications related to material/structure design of supersonic platforms and fire/material/environment interaction monitoring, assessment and management. Validation of the architecture will also be attempted in terms of the same two applications.
