Thermal management is a ubiquitous and critical engineering challenge for a broad range of applications, including combustion engines, high power electronics and chemical processing. However, conventional heat exchanger solutions are often static with limited ability to adaptively modulate heat transfer. Folding concepts from the ancient art form of origami could potentially address these challenges by providing large conducting surfaces that can also spatially reconfigure to regulate the flow and temperature field interactions with the heat transferring medium. In this study, trigonometric and nonlinear mechanical analysis techniques are applied to origami channel designs based on the “waterbomb” and Miura-ori unit cell to characterize the geometric properties of the structures as a function of folding. Both channels demonstrate a large range of flow control, with potentially enhanced mixing in the “waterbomb” channel, due to an axially varying cross-section. The results show promise for the use of origami-based heat exchanger designs for both improved passive and active control of heat transfer.

Mechanics Characteristics

A great deal of existing jacket platforms need to be assessed in order to determine whether they can be reused or not. In allusion to the differences between the existing service platforms and the drafting ones, a methodology of system reliability-based assessment of existing jacket platform is presented and is applied for the assessments of BZ28-1 three jacket platforms which have operated for sixteen years. In terms of nonlinear mechanical analysis, correcting the statistical parameters of the sea states and considering pile-soil-structure nonlinear interaction, the mechanics characteristics of three jacket platforms subjected to extreme loads were analyzed. Based on the FEM model, with Monte Carlo simulation, the reliability of the platforms was studied. From the practical application, the method can be used to estimate the service life of the existing platforms and ensure their secure operation.

Space truss structure is widely used in various engineering fields. The key technical problems are mechanical analysis of its structure and optimization of the design of truss structure. In this paper, comparison of the four different designs of the concrete transport truss structure system based on ANSYS, and the FORTRAN procedure were programmed. Finally both practical and economical factor was chosen to meet the engineering truss structure. These results should be of guiding significance to design and construct retaining engineering in space truss structural.

The service performance of current dental composite materials, such as anterior and posterior restoratives and/or veneer cements, needs to be improved. As part of a comprehensive effort to find ways to improve such materials, we have launched a broad spectrum study of the physicochemical and mechanical properties of photopolymerizable or visible light cured (VLC) dental composites. The commercially available VLC materials being studied are shown in Table 1. A generic or neat resin VLC system is also being characterized by SEM and TEM, to more fully understand formulation variables and their effects on properties.At a recent dental research meeting, we reported on the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) characterization of the materials in Table 1. It was shown by DSC and DMA that the materials are substantially undercured by commonly used VLC techniques. Post curing in an oral cavity or a dry environment at 37 to 50°C for 7 or more hours substantially enhances the cure of the materials.
