Finite Element Analysis of Moisture Absorption and Aging Behaviors of CF/PPESK Composite at Different Temperatures by LI Yupeng, TONG Ye, LEI Mingkai

“…Polyarylethersulfoneketone (PPESK) composite materials can be used as high-temperature resistant coatings and wear-resistant self-lubricating materials， which are widely used in the protection of nuclear power equipment parts.To study the effect of temperature on the moisture absorption behavior of CF/PPESK composites， a two-dimensional composite model was established， and the moisture absorption behavior and moisture absorption stress distribution rules of CF/PPESK composites under 25 ℃and 100 ℃conditions were studied by ABAQUS.Based on the obtained moisture concentration field data， the moisture absorption stress field of CF/PPESK composites with changes in temperature and time was analyzed.Results showed that the moisture diffusion in CF/PPESK composites basically followed Fick’s diffusion law.The higher the temperature， the faster the moisture absorption equilibrium was reached， and the greater the moisture absorption stress.When longterm moisture absorption at high temperature caused the material to be saturated with moisture， the maximum stress reached 140.2 MPa， and the maximum moisture absorption stress occurred in the substrate area where the fiber arrangement spacing was the smallest.…”

Downlink outage probability analysis of distributed MIMO systems over a composite fading channel by Wen-jie PENG, Yue-heng LI, Mei-yan JU, Ping HUANG, Guo-ping TAN

“…Next, an approxi-mate analytical expression of average downlink outage probability of the system with arbitrary MS distribution was de-rived through using mathematical methods such as moment generating function, Gauss-Hermite integral, composite Simpson's rule and so on. Finally, by taking the proposed MS distribution model into account, the derived closed-form outage probability expression and the MS distribution were proved to be correct and reasonable by computer simulation results.…”

Reconstructing the Catholic Church and Restituting the Power of the Sovereign: The Clergy in the Composite Monarchy of the Habsburgs during the Seventeenth Century by Marie-Élizabeth Ducreux

“…At the end of the fifteenth or at the beginning of the sixteenth century, all the lands over which the younger branch of the Habsburgs were to find themselves reigning, from 1526 on, possessed their own diet, each with its own dynamics and particularities, with its own history. As practices and rules differed, this clergy of a composite monarchy is therefore taken here as a transversal object, indissociably linked to local settings in which its members’ possibilities of action lay.…”
