In order to establish a standard for the test of mixed mode dynamic fracture of rock with the cracked straight through flattened Brazilian disc (CSTFBD) specimen, we use finite element method first to check the related results in literature on the cracked straight through Brazilian disc specimen (CSTBD). The I-II mixed mode dynamic stress intensity factors (SIFs) of the two kinds of discs with different dimensionless crack lengths (i.e. the half length of the crack normalized by the radius of the specimen) are obtained to show that the differences of the dynamic SIF's time history between these two kinds of specimens are within 10{\%}, and the numerical method used in this paper is valid. Then for CSTFBD specimens, the I-II mixed ratio, the angle of crack initiation, and the loading angle for pure mode II fracture test are obtained. The results are useful for mixed mode dynamic fracture test of CSTFBD, including specimens preparation, the location and directional alignment of the strain gages, as well as the estimation for the crack initiation time and the crack initiation direction.

Complex microstructures of functionally graded materials and their geometry make related strucutres more complex than plates, cylindrical shells and spherical shells. Therefore, the analytic solution of functionally graded structure is difficult to obtain, and the approximate solution and other calculation methods are used frequently. A new microelement method for the analysis of functionally graded structures is suggested to establish a quantitative relation between the macro-characteristics and microstructures of functionally graded materials, and different combinations of materials for different macro-characteristics can be found. By this microelement method, the influence of voids on the macro-responses can be analyzed. The three-dimensional distributions of mechanical quantities of the functionally graded plates with different distributions, forms and positions of the voids are given, a trans-scale analysis between micro-constitution and macro-response of the functionally graded materials and structures can be carried out.

Penetration mechanics is important both as a science and in practice of military engineering. For a quasi-steady penetration of long rod projectile into semi-infinite thick target, a simplified model is developed, where the bullet incorporated mushroom head consists of unbroken zone, crush zone and hole dilating zone, and the target consists of hole dilating zone, crush zone and unbroken zone, with the strain rate effect being considered. A set of ODE is obtained through conservation laws of every part. Through theoretical analysis and calculation, the influences of the crush strain rate, crash strength of the projectile and the strain rate effect of the crash strength of the target on penetration depth are analyzed. The excellent agreement of the calculation results and the experiment shows the effectiveness of the simplified model.

Natural draft cooling tower is a high-rise thin shell structure. The displacement in the top of the cooling tower can be tens of centimeters under wind loads, several times of the wall thickness. Cooling tower is very sensitive to wind loads, especially in multi-towers conditions, where the wind velocity, wind pressure distribution and airflow among towers are quite complex. On the basis of the experiment results on irregular multi-towers, this paper put forward some proposals about determining wind loads of natural draft cooling tower in multi- towers conditions.

The damage thresholds obtained by natural frequency method can be used as a criterion to justify the usefulness of practical engineering structure. The natural frequency method consists of analyzing the influential factors of the damage, and a cantilever beam model is taken as an example. Both numerical and theoretical results indicate that, if the frequency measurement error is known, this method can be used to estimate the thresholds, during the early period of damage. The thresholds obtained by this method agree with the numerical results very well.

To quantitatively evaluate the partial similarity models of water flooding, a new numerical approach of sensitivity analysis is proposed for the sensitivity of the relaxed dimensionless parameter. The sensitivity factor quantifying the dominance degree of the relaxed dimensionless parameter is defined. By solving the dimensionless governing equations including all dimensionless parameters, the sensitivity factor of each relaxed dimensionless parameter is calculated for each partial similarity model, thus the dominance degree of the relaxed one is quantitatively determined. Based on the sensitivity analysis, the influence coefficient of the partial similarity model is defined as a criterion to evaluate each partial similarity model. The partial similarity model with the smallest influence coefficient can be singled out. Results show that the precision of the partial similarity model is not only determined by the number of dimensionless parameters but also by the relative relaxation quantity.

By introducing fluid-fluid and fluid-solid surfaces interactions, the process of the non-wetting vapor phase displacing complete-wetting liquid phase in two-dimensional pore-networks is simulated based on the Shan-Chen single component multiphase model of lattice Boltzmann method. The fluid interfaces form naturally and the displacement is of capillary fingering. With the capillary number increasing, the viscous force becomes more and more dominating and the sizes of the pores invaded by vapor decrease, leading to rich behaviors of the displacement. With the imposition of the gravity, the gravity plays a stabilizing role on the vapor invasion front.

Tympanostomy tube is an effective treatment for secretory otitis media. There have been very few analyses of the biomechanical behavior of the ventilation tube. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model of the human ear is established, including the external ear canal, tympanic membrane, tympanostomy tube, ossicular bones, middle ear suspensory ligaments/ muscles, and inner ear fluid, which can describe the complicated structures and boundary conditions. The finite element model is used to analyze the displacement change of tympanic membrane and stapes footplate. At the same time, it is found that the presence of tympanostomy tube significantly affects the displacement vibration of the tube. The effect of tympanostomy tube on sound transmission is explained based on numerical method. The results may be useful to the therapy of secretory otitis media and the design of ventilation tube.

In recent years, the product of semiconductor related technologies tend toward to the direction of high density, high performance, multi-physics and miniaturization characteristics. Furthermore, high reliability, low fabrication cost and time-to-market features are the key elements making microelectronic devices to meet the worldwide highly competitive competition. Facing the aforementioned severe challenges, a new design methodology based on the computer simulation technology should be developed to adapt to the new era of ever so various fabrication processes, system integration and next generation electronic packaging devices. Miniaturization induced technology barriers such as process/material uncertainty, structural complexity, high fabrication cost and long development cycles, etc. make conventional design procedure (experiment based design technology, e.g., try-and-error method) inapplicable. Therefore, nowadays, simulation based design-on-simulation design concept has been widely adopted as the mainstream technology by worldwide semiconductor related companies and institutions.

The paper optimizes the structure and parameters of nozzle at jet mill device with software and theories of engineering thermodynamics examining the performance of the designed nozzle by simulating its flow fields with liquid simulated software as well as discussing the effection of passage shape and diffuse angle on supersonic nozzle. The optimized nozzle was then designed to be one with opening pressure of 3.5MPa and opening diameter of 6mm after comparing different simulations. When changing between 8°and 12°, the diffuse angle poses little effect on the performance of the designed supersonic nozzle. And when it is of curve shape, the passage shape betters the performance of the supersonic nozzle.

Abstract ( 1484 )
In recent years, the product of semiconductor related technologies tend toward to the direction of high density, high performance, multi-physics and miniaturization characteristics. Furthermore, high reliability, low fabrication cost and time-to-market features are the key elements making microelectronic devices to meet the worldwide highly competitive competition. Facing the aforementioned severe challenges, a new design methodology based on the computer simulation technology should be developed to adapt to the new era of ever so various fabrication processes, system integration and next generation electronic packaging devices. Miniaturization induced technology barriers such as process/material uncertainty, structural complexity, high fabrication cost and long development cycles, etc. make conventional design procedure (experiment based design technology, e.g., try-and-error method) inapplicable. Therefore, nowadays, simulation based design-on-simulation design concept has been widely adopted as the mainstream technology by worldwide semiconductor related companies and institutions.
