The Dielectric Properties of Nano Al2O3 Hybrid Polyesterimide by FAN Yong, GUO Jia, CHEN Hao, YANG Rui-xiao, YANG Shu-yu

“…In order to improve the corona resistance properties of polyesterimide resin, nanoAl2O3 sol was prepared by microemulsionhydrothermal method and dispersed into polyesterimide resin solution by mechanical blending, then nanoAl2O3 hybrid polyesterimide composite material was prepared The results show that the nanoparticles are dispersed in the polyesterimide matrix; With the increase of doping amount, the corona resistance of the composites increases, but the dielectric strength decreases; When the doping amount was 12%, its coronaresistant life is 5 times more than pure polyesterimide resin, and the dielectric strength is 1752kV/mmWith the increase of the doping amount, the dielectric loss of the material is little affected, but the dielectric coefficient increases slightly The nanoAl2O3 particles in matrix have little effect on the heat resistance of the material…”

基于Kriging响应面法的盾构机行星架多目标优化 by 王红霞, 王盛, 刘强

“…In order to meet the requirements of lightweight design,the smallest of volume and minimum of rotary inertia multi-objective optimization model is established by considering its dynamic and static characteristics requirements.The design variables are taken correlation analysis under circumstance without non-sensitive factors to improve design efficiency.Using enhanced central composite design to get the proper design point,and the design point is simulated and analyzed by using the finite element method,then,a high-precise Kriging response surface model is established according to the simulation results.Sample points distributed evenly are taken out by using Shifted Hammersley sampling technology.After balancing pros and cons of the points,two Pareto optimal solutions are obtained under certain constraints.The volume and rotary inertia are decreased by 10% or more after optimization and the design target of planet carrier in volume and rotary inertia is achieved.…”
