Experimental Analysis on Compression Characteristics of Improved Phyllite Filler by ZHANG Yang

“…Soil compression is an important characteristic that affect the construction and operation of improved soft rock filling in mountainous ports.Through adding 5% cement to improve the weakly weathered phyllite filler,setting 4 kinds of rolling loads and 5 cycles of loading and unloading,and using an improved high-pressure lever consolidation instrument,this paper measures the soil strain,compaction and porosity ratio under different stress states,and specifies the change law of compression modulus and resilience modulus during loading and unloading process.The test results shows that:The deformation of the modified phyllite filler mainly occurs in the first loading process,and it increases significantly with the increase of the rolling load.The porosity ratio curve shows a concave shape with the increased cycles of loading and unloading.When the rolling load is 100 kPa,the curve of porosity ratio is nonlinear with the increased cycles of loading and unloading;when the rolling load is 200 kPa,the compression of the soil changes from medium to low with the increase of compaction cycles.At this time,the modulus of resilience takes a minimum value.It is suggested that the 200 kPa roller compaction stress should be used as the first static compaction during the construction of improved soft rock filling in mountainous ports,which should be increased appropriately in the subsequent construction.…”

DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE RESEARCH ON FLEXURE MICRO ROTARY MECHANISM WITH STRAIGHT CIRCULAR by YANG ManZhi, HUANG YuMei, ZHANG GuangPeng, REN LiJuan, MU WeiYi, YANG XinGang

“…The deformation of static bending was analyzed for uniform beam by the boundary element method.Non-uniform beam was combined with multiple uniform beams by method of system rigid combination without coordinate transformation.Stiffness equation of flexure hinges with straight circular was proposed.A micro rotary mechanism with symmetric drive as well as guiding and transformation was designed based on drive and guiding principles of flexure hinges with straight circular,which is able to make linear motion displacement into rotary displacement,the analysis of degree of freedom about it was given.The analysis of statics with micro rotary mechanism was finished by the finite element method,and the analysis results show that the largest simulation stress of the mechanism is much less than the material allowable stress.The dynamics-free-modal with micro rotary mechanism was analyzed by the finite element,and experiment of the modal analysis was finished,the error between the experimental results and the finite element is less than 6.25%,the analysis results prove that the mechanism has a high the First six order natural frequency and it will not cause resonance in the movement process of the precision rotary system with macro /micro dual-drive.The analysis of performance and experiment shows that micro rotary mechanism has the feature of single-degreefreedom-drive and high reliability,as well as good performance of modal.…”
