摘要：The shape and thickness of the dome were investigated with the aim of optimizing the type II CNG storage vessels by using a finite element analysis technique. The thickness of the liners and reinforcing materials was optimized based on the requirement of the cylinder and dome parts. In addition, the shape of the dome, which is most suitable for type lI CNG storage vessels, was proposed by a process of review and analysis of various existing shapes, and the minimum thickness was established in this sequence： metal liners, composite materials and dome parts. Therefore, the new proposed shape products give a mass reduction of 4.8 kg（5.1%）

摘要：While it is known that mechanical dynamics are influential in neural differentiation for critical processes like neurogenesis or neurodegeneration, studies on neural stem cell therapies usually focus on biochemical interactions rather than mechanical aspects, frequently resulting in low efficacy and unfulfilled potential. Therefore, current studies are attempting to elucidate the effect of mechanical stimulus on neural performance using conventional two-dimensional(2D) planar substrates. Yet, these2D substrates fail to capture the defining three-dimensional(3D) characteristics of the in vivo neural stem cell *** complete this research gap, we synthesized a series of soft and elastic 3D hydrogels to mimic the neural tissue mechanical environment for 3D cell culture, using long-chain polyethylene glycol diacrylate(PEGDA) and gelatin-methacryloyl(Gel MA).By varying the concentration of the polymer, we obtained biomimicking hydrogels with a tensile modulus as low as 10 k Pa and a compressive modulus as low as 0.8 k Pa. The in vitro results demonstrated that Gel MA-PEGDA hydrogels have the high biocompatibility required to support neural cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as neurite outgrowth. We then studied the effect of mechanical stretching on the behaviors of neural cells and observed that mechanical stretching could significantly enhance neurite extension and axon elongation. In addition, the neurites were more directionally oriented to the stretching direction. Immunocytochemistry and relative gene expression data also suggested that mechanical tension could upregulate the expression of neural differentiation protein and genes, including GFAP and βIII-Tubulin. Overall, this study shows that in addition to the specific mechanical properties of Gel MA-PEGDA that improve neural differentiation towards specific lineages, hydrogel stretching is also a potentially attractive strategy to improve the therapeutic outcomes of neural stem cel

摘要：CaO–SiO_(2)compounds compromise one of the most common series of oxide particles in liquid steels, which could significantly affect the service performance of the steels as crack initiation sites. However, the structural, electronic, and mechanical properties of the compounds in CaO–SiO_(2)system are still not fully clarified due to the difficulties in the experiments. In this study, a thorough investigation of these properties of CaO–SiO_(2)compound particles in steels was conducted based on first-principles density functional theory. Corresponding phases were determined by thermodynamic calculation, including gamma dicalcium silicate(γ-C2S), alpha-prime(L) dicalcium silicate(αL′-C2S), alpha-prime(H) dicalcium silicate(αH′-C2S), alpha dicalcium silicate(α-C2S), rankinite(C3S2), hatrurite(C3S), wollastonite(CS), and pseudowollastonite(Ps-CS). The results showed that the calculated crystal structures of the eight phases agree well with the experimental results. All the eight phases are stable according to the calculated formation energies, and γ-C2S is the most stable. O atom contributes the most to the reactivity of these phases. The Young’s modulus of the eight phases is in the range of 100.63–132.04 GPa. Poisson’s ratio is in the range of0.249–0.281. This study provided further understanding concerning the CaO–SiO_(2)compound particles in steels and fulfilled the corresponding property database, paving the way for inclusion engineering and design in terms of fracture-resistant steels.

摘要：A novel 22MnMoB hot stamping steel was designed. The continuous cooling transformation （CCT） measurement of the 22MnMoB steel showed that the ferrite-bainite microstructure could be obtained at cooling rates lower than 25 ℃/s, and the complete martensite structure required the cooling rate higher than 30 ℃/s. The experiments with non-uniform die temperatures were carried out to obtain tailored properties. The results showed that strength of 1 411 MPa and elon- gation of 6% could be obtained in the hard zone, and strength of 916 MPa and elongation of 9% could be obtained in the soft zone, which can be realized by controlling the die temperature at 400 ℃. The transition zone was found smooth and could be beneficial to reduce the stress concen tration and therefore improve the performance of components.

摘要：For austenitic octahedral segregation structure units, their pure mathematics statistic distribu!ive probability is calculated by the empirical electron theory （EET） of solids and molecules and K-B formula. The practical distributive probability can be obtained only if the statistic distribution of austenitic octahedral segregation structure units and the interaction of the alloying elements in steel are considered. Based on 8 groups of experimental data of original steels, three empirical formulas revealing relationships between material macromechanics factor （Sm） and tensile strength （ab）, or impact energy （AK）, or hardness （HRC） of multi-component medium-low-alloy steels were established, respectively. Through the three empirical formulas, new supersaturated carburizing steel has been successfully designed and developed. The other 2 groups of the original experimental steels are used as the standard steel for testing the percentage error of the new steel. The results show that the calculated values are well consistent with those of measured ones and the new supersaturated carburized steel can meet the requirements of the die assembly of cold-drawn seamless stainless steel tube of Taiyuan Iron ＆ Steel （Group） Company LTD.

摘要：Adequate information is sparse for many tropical timbers on their engineering applications, which make their international promotion difficult. The physical and mechanical properties of Klainedoxa gabonensis Pierre ex Engl. （a lesserutilized species） and Entandrophragma cylindricum were compared. K. gabonensis contained more moisture with greater density at 12 % moisture content than E. cylindricum and had a tangential-radial ratio for swelling and shrinkage of 1.31-1.38 and 1.58-1.63, respectively, within acceptable thresholds for engineering/structural timbers. For K. gabonensis, shear parallel to grain was 32.2 ± 0.4-33.5 ±1 N mm^-2; compressive parallel to grain, 80.7 ± 1.4-90.6± 1 N mm^-2; modulus of rupture, 204± 4.0-214 ± 4.0 N mm^-2 and modulus of elasticity, 28,932 ± 664-29,493 ±822 N mm^-2. These properties were superior to those of E. cylindricum [（15.5 ± 0.9）- （15.6 ± 0.6）, （56.4 ± 4.5）-（63.6 ± 1.2）, （99.4 ± 4.7）- （121.3 ± 10.6）, and （9987.4 ± 207）-（10,051 ± 258） N mm^-2, respectively] and compared well with those of several traditional timbers for conslruction and furniture production. Its use would contribute to minimize pressure on the primary timbers in the forests and widen the raw material base for wooden products.
