Theoretical Results

This paper deals with the theoretical and experimental study of an electromechanical system (EMS) actuated by a chemo-inspired oscillator, namely, the Brusselator oscillator. The modeling of such a system is presented. Theoretical results show that the displacement or flexion of the EMS undergoes spiking oscillations. This kind of oscillation is due to the transfer of the Brusselator electronic circuit signal to the mechanical arm. The theoretical results are confirmed by an experimental study with a good qualitative agreement.

Theoretical Results

The mechanical behavior of multi-cracks under compression has become a very important project in the field of fracture mechanics and rock mechanics. In this paper, based on the previous theoretical results of the failure criterion for brittle materials under compression, experiment study is implemented. The specimens are square plates and are made of cement, sand and water, and the cracks are made by using a very thin film (0.1 mm). The relations of material compressive strength versus crack spacing and the lateral confining stress are obtained from experimental results. The experimental results agree well with the failure criterion for brittle materials under compression, which indicates that the criterion is effective and applicable.

This paper studies the dynamics of a self-sustained electromechanical transducer. The stability of fixed points in the linear response is examined. Their local bifurcations are investigated and different types of bifurcation likely to occur are found. Conditions for the occurrence of Hopf bifurcations are derived. Harmonic oscillatory solutions are obtained in both nonresonant and resonant cases. Their stability is analyzed in the resonant case. Various bifurcation diagrams associated to the largest one-dimensional (1-D) numerical Lyapunov exponent are obtained, and it is found that chaos can appear suddenly, through period doubling, period adding, or torus breakdown. The extreme sensitivity of the electromechanical system to both initial conditions and tiny variations of the coupling coefficients is also outlined. The experimental study of̱the electromechanical system is carried out. An appropriate electronic circuit (analog simulator) is proposed for the investigation of the dynamical behavior of the electromechanical system. Correspondences are established between the coefficients of the electromechanical system model and the components of the electronic circuit. Harmonic oscillatory solutions and phase portraits are obtained experimentally. One of the most important contributions of this work is to provide a set of reliable analytical expressions (formulas) describing the electromechanical system behavior. These formulas are of great importance for design engineers as they can be used to predict the states of the electromechanical systems and respectively to avoid their destruction. The reliability of the analytical formulas is demonstrated by the very good agreement with the results obtained by both the numeric and the experimental analysis.

Theoretical model of current conversion from normal to collective current in mesoscopic samples of CDW conductors is presented. The current conversion is described in terms of phase slips (PS) induced by strain of the CDW and stimulated by thermal fluctuations. Kernels of PS situated near contacts are surrounded by long-range perturbations of the CDW phase. If spacing between contacts is shorter than decaying length of these perturbations then temporal evolution of PS at different contacts becomes correlated, and PS voltage decreases with spacing between the contacts decreasing. The results are in qualitative agreement with experimental study of current conversion in submicron NbSe3 wires.

Theoretical Results

] Theoretical calculation formula of punch force during tube extrusion has been proposed by means of slab method. On the basis of theoretical and experimental study, it is found that theoretical results of extrusion force given by the calculating formula approached to that of the experiment, and the relative errors are less than 20％. It is also found that the extrusion force is closely related to deformation temperature, lubricant and the ratio of extrusion. The calculating formula of extrusion force is given by considering the factors which are the conical angle of die, and the friction coefficient between the deformation zone and the extrusion container, and the friction coefficient between the undeformed zone and the mandrel.

Theoretical Results

The extended theory of transition-metal potential, which includes the transition-metal d states, is used to obtain the effective interatomic interactions in terms of pair potential for amorphous Fe. Pair potential for amorphous Fe is also computed using a simple approach for liquid metals given by de-Angelis and March. We employ the so obtained pair potentials to calculate the longitudinal- and transverse-phonon eigenfrequencies using the theory of phonons in amorphous solids. The results for the phonon eigenfrequencies obtained from these potentials are in good qualitative agreement with the molecular-dynamics results as well as with the theoretical results of Bhatia and Singh. Computation of the Debye temperature and the isothermal bulk modulus also shows a close agreement with other results.

An overview of the test apparatus is provided and its unique features are discussed. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first time that a systematic study of the dynamic behavior of torsional vibration absorbers has been undertaken in a controlled environment.

Objective. We aimed to compare a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA, QUANTA Flash) on BIO-FLASH with a multiplex flow immunoassay (MFI) on BioPlex 2200 for the detection of antibodies to Ro60, Ro52, and SS-B.Methods. The study included 241 samples, from patients suffering from systemic autoimmune diseases (n=108) as well as disease controls (n=133). All samples were tested for anti-Ro52, anti-Ro60, and anti-SS-B (La) antibodies on QUANTA Flash (INOVA Diagnostics, San Diego, USA) and BioPlex 2200 (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, USA). Discrepant samples were tested by two independent methods: BlueDot/ANA and QUANTRIX Microarray (both D-tek, Belgium).Results. The overall qualitative agreements were 95.4% (95% confidence interval, CI 92.0–97.7%) for anti-Ro52, 98.8% (95% CI 96.4–99.7%) for anti-Ro60, and 91.7% (95% CI 87.5–94.9%) for anti-SS-B antibodies. There were 34 discrepant samples among all assays (20 anti-SS-B, 11 anti-Ro52, 3 anti-Ro60). 30/33 of retested samples (by D-tek dot blot) agreed with the QUANTA Flash results. Similar findings were obtained with QUANTRIX Microarray kit.Conclusion. QUANTA Flash and BioPlex 2200 show good qualitative agreement. The clinical performances were similar for anti-Ro52 and anti-Ro60 autoantibodies while differences were observed for anti-SS-B (La) antibodies.

An approach has been presented to account for micro-plastic deformation and stress produced by accommodation of martensite. This has made it possible to describe such phenomena as incomplete recovery of strain, strain accumulation at thermocycling, and repeated two-way shape memory effect. Results of modeling are in good qualitative agreement with experimental data.
