Finite element method is applied to analyze the buckling performance of composite stiffened panel. Compress buckling critical loads of six types panels with T or Z-section stiffeners are calculated by FEM. The emulational calculation results show that with same cross section area, critical buckling load of panel with T-section stiffeners increases with the reduction of stiffener pitch and the increase of stiffener numbers, while the buckling load of panel with Z-section stiffeners increases to a certain level and then keep almost changeless. To T-section stiffener panels, the relation between thickness of skin and buckling load is approximately quadratic trinominal. Conclusions obtained can offer a referenced measure for the optimization design and engineering application of the structure.

The cross-section area of straight fin is often considered to be equal in the thermal analyses of straight fin, but sometimes it is unequalin actual situation. Taking a straight fin with two unequal cross-sectional areas as an example,an analytical method of heat conduction for unequal section straight fin is presented. The analytical expressions of temperature field and heat dissipating capacity about the fin,which has a smaller cross-section area near the fin base and a larger one, is obtained respectively. The calculation results of the unequal cross-section are fully consistent with the equal area one, so the method is proved right. The results show that the larger the cross section areanear the base,the better is the heat transfer, and the temperature at the base with larger cross-section area is lower than that with smaller cross-section area when the amount of heat is fixed.

This paper conducts a comprehensive study on the optimization design for luffing mechanism of portal slewing crane. First, displacement formulae are derived of crampon hinge point of the luffing mechanism. Secondly, mathematical model is established for luffing mechanism optimization design of portal slewing crane, according to the mechanism characteristics, and, with an aim of making crampon hinge end point to move horizontally, and of satisfying the value of maximum and minimum amplitude, and of saving material, etc. Finally, program of optimization design is compiled for the luffing mechanism of portal slewing crane. The luffing mechanism of M4022 portal slewing crane is optimized, and the optimization result is satisfactory. This paper makes it possible to obtain not only each rod length and cross-section area, but also obtain the counterbalance weight and the each rod maximum force of the luffing mechanism.

The buckling behavior of latticed columns had been widely investigated based on the theory of Euler, Engesser and Timoshenko shear beam. Although these methods had been formulated and proved to be accurate in case of special assumptions, the influences of lacing bars on the buckling behavior of latticed columns were unclear. This paper modeled a general four-legged latticed column to study the influence of the cross-section characteristics of lacing bars along with their imperfections on the buckling capacity of latticed columns. Three loading conditions and four geometric imperfect models were built to testify the performance of lacing bars. To calculate the buckling load of latticed columns with imperfections accurately, advanced nonlinear analytical procedures using Newton-Raphson incremental-iterative method (ANAP-NR) and Risk arc-length incremental-iterative method (ANAP-Risk) were developed, and then validated by FE software ABAQUS. The current data in the paper show the maximum variation on the critical buckling load of latticed columns, caused by the cross-section area, the bending moment of inertia outer lacing plane, and the imperfections of lacing bars, could reach 68%, 30%, and 25%. The analytical results indicate the great importance of lacing bars on the buckling capacity of latticed columns.

Indirect combustion noise originates from the acceleration of nonuniform temperature or high vorticity regions when convected through a nozzle or a turbine. In a recent contribution (Giauque et al., 2012, “Analytical Analysis of Indirect Combustion Noise in Subcritical Nozzles,” ASME J. Eng. Gas Turbies Power, 134(11), p. 111202) the authors have presented an analytical thermoacoustic model providing the indirect combustion noise generated by a subcritical nozzle when forced with entropy waves. This model explicitly takes into account the effect of the local changes in the cross-section area along the configuration of interest. In this article, the authors introduce this model into an optimization procedure in order to minimize or maximize the thermoacoustic noise emitted by arbitrarily shaped nozzles operating under subsonic conditions. Each component of the complete algorithm is described in detail. The evolution of the cross-section changes are introduced using Bezier's splines, which provide the necessary freedom to actually achieve arbitrary shapes. Bezier's polar coordinates constitute the parameters defining the geometry of a given individual nozzle. Starting from a population of nozzles of random shapes, it is shown that a specifically designed genetic optimization algorithm coupled with the analytical model converges at will toward a quieter or noisier population. As already described by Bloy (Bloy, 1979, “The Pressure Waves Produced by the Convection of Temperature Disturbances in High Subsonic Nozzle Flows,” J. Fluid Mech., 94(3), pp. 465–475), the results therefore confirm the significant dependence of the indirect combustion noise with respect to the shape of the nozzle, even when the operating regime is kept constant. It appears that the quietest nozzle profile evolves almost linearly along its converging and diverging sections, leading to a square evolution of the cross-section area. Providing insight into the underlying physical reason leading to the difference in the noise emission between two extreme individuals, the integral value of the source term of the equation describing the behavior of the acoustic pressure of the nozzle is considered. It is shown that its evolution with the frequency can be related to the global acoustic emission. Strong evidence suggest that the noise emission increases as the source term in the converging and diverging parts less compensate each other. The main result of this article is the definition and proposition of an acoustic emission factor, which can be used as a surrogate to the complex determination of the exact acoustic levels in the nozzle for the thermoacoustic shape optimization of nozzle flows. This acoustic emission factor, which is much faster to compute, only involves the knowledge of the evolution of the cross-section area and the inlet thermodynamic and velocity characteristics to be computed.

The rotational temperature at pressures near 1 atm and at room temperature has been successfully measured using spectra obtained in an intracavity Raman scattering experiment. The accuracy of the method is sufficient to allow local temperature measurement of multicomponent gases with no disturbance in the temperature field. The advantage of the method lies in the fact that it does not require knowledge of the relative scattering cross-section area of the component gases.
