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

Putin – the masked nemesis of the strategy of ambiguity

Recent events demonstrate the complex and adaptive approach employed by Russia to reassert influence in Europe. The changing face of Russia’s strategy commenced in 2007 when it launched a crippling cyber-attack against Estonia. This was followed by a large Russian conventional attack against Georgia in 2008, occupying two large areas of the nation. 2014 witnessed the Russian annexation of Crimea where in just a week, Russia seized control of Crimea “without firing a shot.” The annexation of Crimea was rapidly followed by a Russian inspired and led subversive war in eastern Ukraine. The common thread among these diverse Russian operations is its use of ambiguity to confound and confuse decision makers in the West.     

India's counter-insurgency experience: the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy

The Indian Army, a force trained primarily for conventional warfare, has been engaged in internal counter-insurgency operations since the 1950s. Despite such a long innings on a counter-insurgency mode, little attention has been accorded within military circles to doctrinal innovation for waging sub-conventional warfare in India's democratic political context. At best, the Army continues to view counter-insurgency duty as secondary to its primary duty of defending India from external conventional threats. By conceptualizing a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’, this article aims to fill this critical doctrinal gap in India's military policy. The author argues that a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’ based on democratic political culture, measured military methods, special counter-insurgency forces, local social and cultural awareness and an integrative nation-building approach will result in positive handling of India's internal security problems. The author utilizes India's counter-insurgency experiences in Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, and Operation ‘Sadhbhavana’ in Jammu and Kashmir as illustrative empirical indicants in order to validate the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy.     

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.

A Sign of Victory?: ‘Scottish Swords’ and Other Weapons in the Possession of the ‘Auld Innemie’

Many late medieval documents, notably inventories of arms and armour, of Englishmen contain references to ‘Scottish swords’ and other weapons. What did the compilers of these documents mean when they described a weapon as ‘Scottish’? How did such weapons come to be in the possession of these men? This article will attempt to explain this phenomenon drawing on primary documentary sources and surviving material culture from Glasgow Museums’ collections and others, as well as artworks from the period.     

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).     

Cyberpower in Strategic Affairs: Neither Unthinkable nor Blessed

Abstract

This article explores the effect of connectivity on strategic affairs. It argues that the effect on war's character is potentially, although not yet shown in practice, considerably large. Its effect upon the distribution of power among states in the international system is small, contrary to the claims of ‘cyberwar’ alarmists. All told, however, its effect upon strategic affairs is complex. On the one hand, it represents a significant advance in the ‘complexification’ of state strategies, understood in the sense of the production of intended effects. On the other hand, strategists today – still predominantly concerned with the conflicts and confrontations of states and organised military power – are generally missing the power which non-traditional strategic actors, better adapted to the network flows of the information age, are beginning to deploy. These new forms of organization and coercion will challenge the status quo.
