Abstract:
As a new generation of Li-ion battery, rechargeable all-solid-state thin-film lithium batteries (TFLBs) employ solid electrolyte to replace traditional liquid electrolyte and are fabricated on plane substrates using layered thin films. Potential applications include dual-use flexible wearable devices, portable electronic devices, vehicle and aircraft power batteries, etc. In academic society and industry community, it is widely accepted that the ultra-safe batteries own long cycle life, high specific capacity and high energy density. This article reviews basic operation principles and classifications of TFLBs, summarizes the development history of cathode/electrolyte/anode materials, their preparation process and electrochemical performance. Three representative directions in recent research advances are discussed: three-dimensional TFLBs, flexible batteries, high-voltage and large-capacity battery packs.Foreign commercial battery products, key technology and battery fabrication equipment are shown in details. Possible directions of domestic RD and industrialization are pointed out.

Abstract:
The superplastic deformation behavior of TA15 titanium alloy was performed based on the strain rate circulation using superplastic tensile testing machine in the temperature range 850-900℃, and the strain rates range 510-6- 510-4 s-1. The dynamic recrystallization activation energy was obtained through the analysis of the tensile experimental data, and the conclusion about dynamic recrystallization occuring during the thermal deformation was given by combining microstructure analysis. The constitutive relationship of the TA15 titanium alloy based on the Arrhenius model was established, the data was analysed using origin data processing software, then the constitutive equations about TA15 titanium alloy under high temperature conditions was obtained. 1stopt software was used to fix the constitutive equations, and an accuracy of 99.3% was obtained. The results show that the flow stress of TA15 titanium alloy is sensitive to the deformation temperature. With the increase of temperature, flow stress decreases and softening mechanism increases. The titanium alloy superplasticity is the best at around 900℃ with the elongation reaching 846%.

[Abstract](1396) [PDF 5277KB](116)

Abstract:
Through the experiment of low cycle fatigue experiment of AZ80 magnesium alloy under the total strain amplitude control at room temperature, cyclic stress response, fatigue life and the cyclic stress-strain behavior was studied under the heat treatment of hot forging, aging state (T5) and solid solution-aging state (T6). The results show that AZ80 magnesium alloy is generally characterized as the cyclic strain hardening phenomenon under three heat treatments. In addition, the relationship between the fatigue life and the plastic strain amplitude or the elastic strain amplitude obeys the Coffin-Manson or the Basquin equation for AZ80 magnesium alloy respectively. With the increase of total strain amplitude, the fatigue life reduces. Under the minimum total strain amplitude of 0.3%, the fatigue life of hot forging state is the longest; under the maximum strain amplitude of 0.9%, the fatigue life of AZ80-T5 is the longest and hot forging state is the shortest. Moreover, the observation of the fatigue fracture morphology shows that the fatigue cracks initiate in the sample surface, and extend in a transgranular manner.

[Abstract](1301) [PDF 2679KB](111)

Abstract:
Nb/Nb5Si3 microlaminated sheet was prepared by ion beam assisted electron beam physical vapor deposition technology(EB-PVD). The composites and microstructure of Nb/Nb5Si3 were analyzed by XRD and SEM. The structure and morphology of microlaminated materials prepared under the different conditions of EB-PVD were investigated. The microlaminated materials were synthesized by vertically incident, high electron beam and high temperature with the double-target deposition method. The results indicate that the prepared material with visible lamellar structure is composed of cubic Nb and Tetragonal Nb5Si3 phases. The degradation of columnar grain was investigated after annealing under the condition of 1200℃/3h. It is shown that after vacuum heat treatment, the columnar grain structure is transformed to equiaxed grain structure in microlaminated material.

[Abstract](1495) [PDF 3021KB](91)

Abstract:
Systematic investigation on the estimation of J resistance curves for straight-notch CT specimens was carried out on the basis of normalization method which concludes in the non-dimensional load separation method. Improvements on the load separation principle were performed. In the light of refined finite element analyses and the geometry deformation relationship of straight-notch CT specimen, a transforming formula from crack mouth opening displacement (V0) to load line displacement (VLL) was proposed. Blunt cracked CT specimens with different initial crack length were used to test and verify the transforming formula. Three types of engineering materials, such as 1Cr12Mo, 30Cr2Ni4MoV and 10Cr9Mo1VNbN, were employed to estimate the J-resistance curves. The results show that the errors between the experimental and calculated values are all less than 5%.

[Abstract](1461) [PDF 3846KB](131)

Abstract:
Fatigue life prediction method based on small crack theory was used on GH4169 superalloy to calculate fatigue lives under constant-amplitude loading conditions. The growth behaviors of natural-initiated small fatigue cracks in single edge notched specimens of GH4169 superalloy under stress ratios of 0.1 and 0.5 at room temperature were studied. All small cracks initiate from the inclusions on specimen surface, and most of the total fatigue lives are cost on the phase of small crack propagation. Small crack effects are significantly shown in the zone of crack growth rate lower than 10-5 mm/cycle. According to the Newman crack closure model, the da/dN-K baseline data were obtained based on the long-and small-crack growth data. The fracture morphology of high cycle fatigue specimens were observed and analyzed. The results show that the fatigue cracks initiate from typical inclusions of the material on specimen surfaces. The initial crack size, ai, from the inclusion size, is obtained from analysis on specimen fracture surfaces. Based on the initial crack size and the baseline data, the total fatigue lives of GH4169 superalloy were predicted using FASTRAN software. The prediction results were evaluated by high cycle fatigue test data. Results from the tests and prediction agree well for both R ratios.eff

[Abstract](1389) [PDF 651KB](105)

Abstract:
Free vibration before thermal buckling of functionally graded material Euler beams with surface-bonded piezoelectric layers subjected to temperature rise and electric field were studied. By accurately considering the axial extension in the sense of theory of Euler beam, geometrically nonlinear governing equations, for functionally graded beams subjected to thermo-electro-mechanical loadings, were formulated. In the analysis, it was assumed that the material properties of the beam vary continuously as a power function of the thickness coordinate and that the piezoelectric layers are isotropic and homogenous. By using a shooting method to solve the linearized equations, a semi-analytic numerical method is proposed to predict the free vibration behavior of the beams with the fixed and simply supported edges subjected to transversely non-uniform heating and uniform electric field. Due to being transversely non-uniform in the material properties, there exists tension-bending coupling effects on the beam even in uniform temperature and electric rise in the thickness direction, which could impact the natural frequencies to some extent.
