This study focuses on the effect of distribution of exothermic reaction rates on detonation wave propagation instability, specifically under conditions where the length of the induction and exothermic reaction remains constant. It is found that the distribution variation of exothermic reaction rates significantly influences the detonation wave propagation characteristics. Specifically, under conditions of high activation energy, the exothermic reaction rate profile exhibits a smoother distribution but becomes more prone to perturbations. This heightened sensitivity, coupled with the augmented overdriven degree associated with pulsating detonation and cellular detonation wave propagation, further exacerbates the instability characteristics of detonation waves. Especially to the two-dimensional detonation waves with high activation energies, the distribution of exothermic reaction rates becomes more sensitive to these displacements, reinforcing the transverse shock wave and leading to a transformation of the wavefront and cellular structure towards more unstable configurations.

The effect of temperature and environment atmosphere on the fracture toughness and failure mechanisms of two-dimensional plain-woven SiC<sub>f</sub>/SiC composites was investigated. The results show that they exhibit pseudo-plastic deformation behavior at different temperatures. The fracture toughness is as high as 48 MPa m<sup>1/2</sup> at room temperature, and gradually decreases with rising temperature. The difference in fracture toughness between argon and air initially increases and then decreases with rising temperature. Furthermore, the high-temperature failure mechanisms of these composites were analyzed through macro and micro analysis. Based on this, a physic-based temperature-dependent fracture toughness model considering matrix toughness, plastic power, fiber pull-out, and residual thermal stress was developed for fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites. The model has been well validated by experimental results. An analysis of influencing factors regarding the evolution of fracture toughness was conducted by the proposed model.

The existence of short-range order (SRO) and its ability to improve the strength or plasticity of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have been experimentally proven. However, there is still little research on the correlation between SRO and creep behavior. The mechanism of SRO influencing creep behavior is not yet clear. In this work, the creep behaviors of TiVTaNb RHEA with and without SRO were simulated at various temperatures and stresses using molecular dynamics methods, and the effects of SRO on creep behavior were analyzed. The results show that the SRO is energetically favorable for occurrence in this RHEA. For polycrystalline RHEAs, grain boundary energy is an important driving force for the formation of SRO. Significantly, under the same conditions, the SRO can reduce the steady-state creep rate and change the creep mechanism of the RHEA. Specifically, the models with SRO will exhibit lower stress exponent and grain-size exponent. A mechanism by which SRO reduces the effects of grain boundaries on creep has been discovered. These phenomena can be well explained by the effects of SRO on atomic diffusion. In addition, by analyzing the diffusion ability of different elements, SRO can induce localization of atomic diffusion, resulting in strain localization under high stresses. This work highlights the importance of SRO on the creep of RHEAs and provides a reference for establishing a reasonable creep model of RHEAs.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"41 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The obstacle avoidance planning is performed in the solved collision-free feasible space using the stable dung beetle optimization (SDBO) algorithm, which ensures that the suspended object can move stably to the target point in the workspace. The optimal obstacle avoidance trajectory of the multi-robot suspension system can be accurately determined by using the collaborative optimization method for force and position to plan the towing robot and the cable.

For the first mode, wall pressure fluctuations for both entropy and vorticity wave cases exhibit a strong modulation yet without a growing trend, indicating that the first mode is not generated despite its instability predicted by linear stability theory. The potential reason for this is the absence of postshock slow acoustic waves capable of synchronizing with the first mode. By contrast, for the second mode, a typical three-stage boundary-layer response is observed, consistent with that to slow acoustic waves studied previously. Furthermore, the postshock disturbances outside the boundary layer can be decomposed into the entropy (density/temperature fluctuations) and vorticity components (velocity fluctuations), and the latter is shown to play a leading role in generating the second mode, even for the case with entropy waves where the density/temperature fluctuations dominate the postshock regions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"41 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143496854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
