Abstract Based on the traditional re-entrant honeycomb, a novel re-entrant octagon honeycomb (ROH) is proposed. The deformation mode of the honeycomb under quasi-static compression is analyzed by numerical simulation, and the results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. The deformation modes, mechanical properties, and energy absorption characteristics of ROH along the impact and perpendicular directions gradient design are investigated under different velocities. The results indicated that the deformation mode of ROH is affected by gradient design along the direction of impact and impact speed. In addition, gradient design along the direction of impact can… More >

Abstract Heat pipe is a kind of high-efficiency heat transfer element which depends on the phase change of its internal working liquid. It has the characteristics of high heat conductivity and excellent average temperature performance. As the core component of heat pipe, capillary wicks play the role of transmitting working fluid and have a crucial impact on the heat transfer performance of heat pipe. In this paper, the research progress of capillary wicks in recent years is introduced from the aspects of structure, fabrication method, performance research, numerical analysis and so on. The current research results More >

Abstract Based on the efficient sound absorption characteristics of Helmholtz resonance structures in the range of medium and low frequency acoustic waves, this paper investigates an effective solution for light timber construction walls with acoustic problems. This study takes the light timber construction wall structure as the research object. Based on the Helmholtz resonance principle, the structure design of the wall unit, impedance tube experiment and COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS simulation calculation were carried out to obtain the change rule of acoustic performance of the Helmholtz resonance wall unit structure. The research results show that the overall stability… More > Graphic Abstract
