摘要：Kirigami, the ancient Japanese paper cutting technique, has been applied to achieve high stretchability and low energy loss of designed metallic glass. Despite the exploration of the underlying deformation mechanism of kirigami-inspired structures from the energy point of view, the morphable responses of the kirigami patterns and the origin of the kirigami response are yet to be fully understood. This study reveals the mechanical driven-forms of the kirigami structure with the corresponding deformation stages. Based on the beam deflection theory, the elastic buckling behavior of kirigami metallic glass is manifested and a critical force prediction model is developed. Moreover, a force concentration parameter is introduced in the rigid-plastic deformation stage, predicting the nominal ultimate force. The kirigami-inspired facture force is firstly proposed. The findings of these models are in good agreement with the experimental sizedependent kirigami responses, and expected to provide significant insights into the understanding of the deformation behavior and the design of kirigami metallic glasses.

摘要：A high-performance concrete （HPC） is required to have superior performance in various aspects such as workability,strength, durability, dimensional stability, segregation stability, and passing ability. The mix design of HPC is rather complicatedbecause the number of ingredients in HPC is usually more than those in conventional concrete and some of the required propertiesare conflicting with each other in the sense that improvement in one property would at the same time cause impairment of anotherproperty. However, there is still lack of understanding regarding how the various mix parameters should be optimised forachieving best overall performance. Most practitioners are still conducting mix design primarily through trial concrete mixing,which is laborious, ineffective, and often unable to timely respond to fluctuations in the properties of raw materials. To addressthese issues, the authors have been developing the packing and film thickness theories of concrete materials, in order to revamp themix design philosophy of HPC in terms of the water film thickness （WFT）, paste film thickness （PFT）, and mortar film thickness（MFT） in the concrete. Based on the findings from an extensive experimental programme, suitable ranges ofWFT, PFT, and MFThave been recommended.

摘要：固体氧化物电池将在未来可再生能源储存转换系统中占据重要位置.但SOCs受制于低耐久度的影响,目前仍需在新材料开发和工程设计方面取得进一步的突破以实现商业化.这项研究报道了一个数据驱动的粉体-能量框架(Powder-to-power framework,P2PF),通过实现从制备到长时运行的异质电极形貌演化数字化,实现了对于整个生命周期的性能预测.首先通过参数分析阐明了微结构参数对于燃料电极长期性能的内在影响机制,发现合理控制离子导电相的体积分数不仅可以有效抑制镍粗化,还是减少镍迁移引起的欧姆损失增加的关键.电极初始性能和性能衰减率是多参数耦合作用的结果.所构建代理模型被应用于多目标遗传算法以提出简单可行的耐久度优化策略.数据驱动的粉体-能量框架确定了满足不同最大运行时长要求的最佳电极制备参数,并将镍基电极的降解率从基本工况下2.132%kh^(-1)降低到0.703%kh^(-1)(最大运行时长大于50000 h).

摘要：对高速边界层转捩与湍流的理解、建模与控制不但具有广泛的学术兴趣,而且对高速飞行器的设计与节能有至关重要的意义,因为转捩和湍流会急剧增加壁面摩阻和热流.根据Morkovin假设,高速流动具有一些与不可压缩流动本质上相似的特征,但另一方面,由于存在热力学过程、激波、高焓效应等多物理场耦合,与不可压缩流动也有显著区别.本文综述了高速边界层转捩与湍流的物理和建模方面的最新研究进展,其中较大部分内容为湍流研究.为了物理过程描述的完整性,我们首先简要综述了高速流动转捩,主要关注气动加热原理和推迟转捩的被动控制策略.随后,我们总结了近期在湍流平均流向速度和温度的标度率方面的一些令人鼓舞的发现,这些标度率能够用于构建一系列新颖的壁面模型以提高模式精度.此外,作为湍流建模的基础之一,我们还总结了湍流结构方面的研究,尤其关注边界层对数区含能运动的标度率与建模.另外,我们综述了各种用于预测壁湍流的线性模型.尽管湍流通常被认为是高度非线性的,这些线性模型在过去二十年的研究中取得了较大的成功.最后,我们对综述进行总结,并简要展望未来研究.
