Abstract:Expounds characteristics of the frame structure and function of a hydraulic walk caterpillar vehicles. A frame structure is designed to suit for a caterpillar running system with hydraulic pump-motor circuit. While to design such a frame, there must be a tradeoff between mechanical property and its mass. Based on establishing the geometric model of the frame, the finite element method is used to analyse the distribution of stress and strain of the frame in its working condition. Furthermore, aim to reduce the mass of the frame, a programme is designed and applied to find the best tradeoff point between requirment and mass. The programme is developed using APDL(ANSYS Parametric Design Language). The simulated example showed that the propose method in this paper can be applied to optimize the frame of caterpillar vehicles. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

Abstract:Calixarenes and their derivatives may be a promising material for enzyme immobilization owing to their particular configuration, unique molecule recognition function and aggregation properties. In this paper, p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene tetra-amine (TC4TA) was first used as enzyme immobilization material. This attractive material was exploited for the mild immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOD) to develop glucose amperometric biosensor. GOD was strongly adsorbed on the TC4TA modified electrode to form TC4TA/GOD composite membrane. The adsorption mechanism was driven from the covalent bond between amino-group of TC4TA and carboxyl group of GOD and molecule recognition function of TC4TA. Amperometric detection of glucose was evaluated by holding the modified electrode at 0.60V (versus SCE) to oxidize the hydrogen peroxide generated by the enzymatic reaction. The sensor (TC4TA/GOD) showed a relative fast response (response time was about 5s), low detection limit (20μM, S/N=3), and high sensitivity (ca. 10.2mAM^-1cm^-2) with a linear range of 0.08-10mM of glucose, as well as a good operational and storage stability. In addition, optimization of the biosensor construction, the effects of the applied potential as well as common interfering compounds on the amperometric response of the sensor were investigated and discussed herein. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Stochastic process algebra models have been successfully used in the area of performance modelling for the last twenty years, and more recently have been adopted for modelling biochemical processes in systems biology. Most research on these modelling formalisms has been on quantitative analysis, particularly the derivation of quantified dynamic information about the system modelled in the face of the state space explosion problem. In this paper we instead consider qualitative analysis, looking at how recent developments to tackle state space explosion in quantified analysis can be also harnessed to establish properties such as freedom from deadlock in an efficient manner. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Abstract:Based on an exact geometric nonlinear theory for plane curved beams, geometrically nonlinear equilibrium equations and boundary conditions governing the nonlinear bending of a simple plane frame structure subjected distributed loads were derived. By using the shooting method to numerically solve the boundary value problem of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, large deformation equilibrium configurations of a simple frame with both straight and the curved beam elements subjected uniformly distributed load were obtained. The theory and methodology presented can be used to analyze large deformation of plane simple frames with a variety of geometries and loadings. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

Abstract:To effectively store and control mass data, a path-based Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) data cube construction method was proposed. This method depends only on the size of path database but not the distribution of the RFID system. Some cuboids between the minimal interest layer and the observation layer were chosen to materialize, which costs less time to both construct the cube and answer the path queries from different users. Analytical and experimental results show the effectiveness of this method.

Abstract:Electroless Ni-P/n-CeO2 composite coatings were preparated under the traditional watt acidic plating solution condition, and its anti-corrosion properties were studied and compared. Ni-P/CeO2 composite coatings were co-deposited on A3 steel substrate surface. The results show that the optimal quantity of CeO2 additive should retain 15-20 g/L. Rare earth particles absorb on matrix surface and produce lots of nano-scale nucleus of crystal, refined grain. Only this, nano-CeO2 particle can get dispersed sufficiently and effectively. Rare-earth CeO2 increase the P content(m(P)≥12%). Rare earth particles n-CeO2 produced at micropore and other defects, decrease activity of impurities, refine the crystal boundary, which due to rare-earth CeO2 nano-particle addictive co-deposite with Ni, P. Corrosion test manifests that rare earth additive CeO2 makes porosity lower, the corrosion morphology of coatings has change from corrosive pitting to be general corrosion, the anti-corrosion property and passivity improve in Ni-P/CeO2 coatings. Electric polarization curves are determined by constant potential rectifier has used to study anti-corrosion resistance, the results show that potential ennoblement and corrosion current drop 1 order of magnitude. The polarization curves slightly move to positive direction and decrease corrosion current density. According to the electrochemistry theory, the corrosion property is improved. Besides, the paper also studys the effect upon heating about microstructure, anti-corrosion resistance and so on. It finds that Ni3P precipitation and Ni crystallization take place at 450°C 2 h heat treatment. In addition, Ni-P/CeO2 coatings have sintered phase of NiCe2O4 spinels, precipitated phase CeO2 is priority produced at micropore and other defects. So, Ni-P/CeO2 composite coatings can get diffused sufficiently and effectively, increase grain density, microhardness can reach 1000 HV.

Abstract:The viscosity during evaporation was determined for emulsions in the system water, vegetable oil, a commercial surfactant, Tween 80^R, and the results related to the phases of the emulsion according to the phase diagram. The correlation between the viscosity and the fraction of liquid crystal in the emulsion was pronounced for the emulsions with the oil as the dispersed phase. For the emulsions with oil as the major phase, the effect was significantly less. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Abstract:The relations between tomato crops and soil transpiration and the microclimatic factors inside and outside bi-span greenhouse were analyzed. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was used to solve the temperature and relative humidity (RH) distributions based on water vapor transmission and solar radiation with the porous models, and the boundary conditions were discussed. The 3-D temperature numerical simulations were tested by means of Fluent software. The results showed the average relative errors of the simulated and the measured values were 5.7% and 2.1%, respectively. The CFD model and the boundary conditions were proved to be validated. Compared to cloudy days, the average temperature was 1.6°C higher and relative humidity was 3% lower in sunny days. The solar radiation had an effect on the temperature and RH distributions. The average temperature was 0.8°C higher and RH was 19% higher for the double density plants than that of single density plants. The temperature and RH distributions were lower near the leeward than the windward inside greenhouse, but a homogeneous pattern was observed in cropping region.
