夹芯复合材料T型接头侧弯损伤机理及强度特性分析

针对复合材料夹芯板材构件的侧弯承载和坚固连接要求,设计了弧形过渡区增强型T型胶接接头。建立了夹芯复合材料T型接头数值模型,模拟了其在侧弯载荷作用下的损伤产生、扩展及失效过程,并对夹芯复合材料T型接头试件进行了静态侧弯试验。结果表明:接头发生初始损伤的线载荷强度为44~47N/mm,损伤发生后接头的刚度值发生折减(降低约28%~32%),此时接头的承载能力仍在上升;试件界面完全剥离载荷强度较初始损伤线载荷强度略有增加(线载荷强度范围为54~62N/mm)。数值计算与试验结果吻合,表明弧形过渡区是夹芯复合材料T型接头最薄弱的部位,易发生破坏;初始损伤将首先出现在弧形过渡区复合材料表层,随着层间裂纹的扩展,过渡区复合材料与芯材的复合界面处出现剥离破坏并向自由端端部界面扩展,这是导致夹芯复合材料T型胶接接头失效的最主要原因。

纤维缠绕复合材料约束球形浮力芯材准静态压缩吸能机制

针对海洋工程平台的防护吸能和浮力储备需求,设计一种纤维缠绕复合材料约束球形浮力芯材吸能结构。为分析其变形损伤特征和能量耗散机理,通过ABAQUS有限元软件和万能材料试验机开展数值模拟分析和试验验证研究。通过力学响应特征和损伤破坏模式分析可知,结构吸能设计的关键在于表层和芯材的泊松比匹配。芯材主要通过塑性压缩损伤和剪切断裂破坏吸收能量,而表层吸能则主要通过环向的花瓣形拉伸断裂破坏。研究表明,该型结构单元压缩吸能特性优异,可实现海洋工程结构平台的防护吸能和浮力储备要求。     

含分层缺陷复合材料夹芯梁力学特性及失效模式的试验研究

为研究分层缺陷对复合材料夹层结构承载特性的影响,对含面芯分层缺陷的复合材料夹芯梁开展了系列轴向压缩试验,采用高速摄影仪记录结构的变形形态及破坏过程,对结构出现的欧拉屈曲、剪切屈曲、局部面板褶皱、纤维压缩破坏等失效模式进行分析,并探讨了梁长度、表层厚度、芯层厚度、缺陷尺寸等参数对结构承载特性的影响。试验结果表明:表层厚度对结构的失效模式及承载能力有着直接影响;对于贯穿型矩形缺陷,当缺陷因子μ≥0.05时,结构发生局部屈曲失效;局部屈曲为非稳态失效,当面板出现局部褶皱后,面芯分层缺陷迅速沿轴向向两端扩展,扩展路径可由面芯界面层进入芯层,造成芯层的剪切破坏。     

含诱导缺陷复合材料T型接头的弯曲失效实验

通过实验研究含不同诱导缺陷的复合材料T型接头的弯曲力学性能和失效过程,采用引入脱黏缺陷和三角区填充率缺陷来诱导T型接头的不同失效模式。结果表明不同失效模式下T型接头所表现出来的弯曲力学性能差异极大,完好的T型接头所能承受的载荷为288.5N,界面脱黏会削弱其30%的承载能力,而三角区填充率的减少会导致裂纹在填充区内部引发和扩展,导致T型接头的弯曲力学性能大幅降低。

所设计的新型整体缝合泡沫夹芯复合材料结构,能够避免一般斜缝方式引起纤维交叉损坏的弊端。采用真空导入模塑工艺制备整体缝合泡沫夹芯结构复合材料,研究缝合结构、缝合方式以及缝合纱线用量对整体缝合泡沫夹芯复合材料平压力学性能和弯曲性能的影响。结果表明,新型缝合结构在保证平压力学性能的同时,相比于垂直缝合结构弯曲破坏载荷提高了94.4%;穿透缝合方式能够显著提高试样的平压强度和弯曲破坏载荷;随着缝合纱线用量的增加,整体缝合泡沫夹芯复合材料的压缩和弯曲性能显著提高。     

轻质夹层复合吸声结构的制备工艺和水声性能

夹层复合吸声结构具有很强的可设计性,得到广泛的应用,但以往研究的此夹层结构的吸声芯材存在密度较大的问题。为此,设计了一种轻质夹层复合吸声结构,对该结构的制备工艺特别是芯材的制备工艺进行了设计,用玻璃钢作为表层材料、用柔性环氧树脂和聚氨酯改性环氧树脂的混合物为基体、空心玻璃微珠为填料、593和聚醚胺为固化剂所制备的多孔复合材料作为芯材来制备夹层复合吸声结构,制作了该结构的声学测试试件,在脉冲声管中测试了其水下声学性能。结果表明:所设计的夹层复合吸声结构具有较低的密度和良好的吸声性能,证明了该制备工艺设计的合理性。     

潜艇内部平台对舱壁支持作用的对比试验

为了研究平台对舱壁的支撑作用,针对以内部平台取代水平桁作为一级支持构件的潜艇平面舱壁结构形式,设计制作了两个平台强度不一样的舱段模型.然后,分别对两个模型进行静水压力试验,测量了其应力和承载能力.模型试验结果表明,平台的使用使舱壁的承载能力明显提高,且平台越强对舱壁的支持作用越大.平台结构的改变主要影响舱壁上垂向加强材上的应力水平,舱壁的破坏是由于平台受压失稳后失去对舱壁的支持引起的.     

纤维缠绕复合材料夹芯圆柱体高应变率压缩吸能机理

为研究纤维缠绕复合材料夹芯圆柱体吸能元件在高应变率冲击压缩载荷作用下的变形损伤模式和能量吸收机理,采用ABAQUS商用有限元软件和分离式Hopkinson压杆装置开展数值模拟分析和试验验证研究。对比分析宏观力学响应规律和微观损伤破坏机理,可知吸能结构元件在高应变率压缩载荷下的力学响应具有典型的弹塑性特征,内部芯材主要产生压缩塑性损伤,而表层复合材料沿环向产生拉伸断裂破坏。研究表明,该吸能元件冲击压缩吸能特性优异,可满足水下结构平台的冲击防护和浮力储备要求。

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

Helping hands: external support for the KNU insurgency in Burma

This article analyses to what extent the Burmese KNU insurgency made use of external support from states, refugees, and diasporas. Based on extensive fieldwork it is concluded that support from neighbouring states and refugees has for years kept the Karen rebellion alive. Western countries perceived forms of resistance to the illegitimate Burmese regime as just and have therefore played a crucial role in the continuation of conflict in Karen State. It is important that policymakers and donors as well as executing organizations continue to reflect critically on the way they exercise their work.

Cyber sheiks and grassroots jihadis: the war in Syria and the devolution of the Bosnian Salafi communities

ABSTRACT

What was the scope of the Bosnian jihadi participation in the war in Syria? Did the Bosnian volunteers tend to join one particular faction? Why did the Bosnian youngsters decide to join the holy war in the Levant? Was this an organized and hierarchical process or was this a grassroots movement? Last, were all the Salafis in Bosnia supportive of this dynamic or did this process cause internal frictions? These are some of the questions that this research will try to answer.     

Country survey XVI the defence sector in the economy of a declining superpower: Soviet Union and Russia, 1965-2001

The Soviet Union was able to develop a large military-industrial complex and become the world's second superpower despite deficiencies in its centrally planned economy because defence was given high priority status and special planning, rationing and administrative mechanisms were used to attain national security objectives. However, in the period 1976-85 the effectiveness of priority protection diminished and defence institutions experienced more of the problems typical of the shortage economic system. The heavy defence burden also created growing difficulties for the civilian economy. The attempts by the Gorbachev government to reform the defence sector and improve defence-economic relationships during perestroika (1985-91) uniformly failed. For most of the transition period, the Russian military-industrial complex has been adversely affected by its low priority status, cuts in defence spending, instability of the hybrid politico-economic system, and negative growth of the economy. The armed forces and defence industry have been reduced in size and their outputs of military services and equipment have fallen to low levels. Nevertheless, the Russian armed forces still have over one million troops, significant stocks of sophisticated conventional weapons, and a large nuclear arsenal. The government of President Putin has raised the priority of the defence sector, increased real defence spending, and adopted ambitious plans to revive Russian military power. It is likely, though, that tight resource constraints will hamper efforts to reform the armed forces and to upgrade weapons. By 2010 Russia will be an important, but not dominant, military power in Eurasia.     

Traffickers,terrorists, and a ‘new security challenge’: Russian counternarcotics strategy and the Federal Service for the Control of the Drugs Trade

The collapse of the Soviet Union precipitated the massive expansion of drug use and trade in Russia. The country now has one of the largest populations of injecting drug users in the world and has become the largest single-country market for Afghan heroin. In 2003 the Federal Service for the Control of the Drugs Trade was created to coordinate a comprehensive counternarcotics strategy appropriate to the scale of this threat. The service continues to face a number of challenges in its early stages of development. However, it has made considerable advances in improving responses to large-scale organised crime and in building international cooperation.
