In low-temperature environments, asphalt materials harden easily and become brittle, and the repeated action of traffic load further aggravates the cracking of and damage to the asphalt mixture. In order to explore high-performance asphalt pavement materials that are more suitable for cold climates, this paper selected four modifiers, namely SBS, rubber powder, SBR and TPS. With SBS as the main agent, combined with other modifiers, three types of base asphalts with grades of 70#, 90# and 110# were compositely modified to prepare 12 different combinations of composite-modified asphalt samples. The optimal dosage of the modifier was determined by the basic performance test of asphalt, and the compatibility, interaction energy and mechanical properties of the modifier and base asphalt at different temperatures were analyzed by molecular dynamics simulation. Subsequently, the high- and low-temperature rheological properties of various modified asphalts were systematically evaluated using a dynamic shear rheology test (DSR) and a bending beam rheology test (BBR), and the rheological properties and road performance indicators of each composite-modified asphalt were comprehensively compared so as to select the road materials most suitable for cold areas. The research results show that different grades of base asphalt and modifiers show good compatibility in the range of 160–175 °C. Among them, rubber powder and TPS modifier significantly improve the high-temperature mechanical properties of SBS-modified asphalt, while rubber powder and SBR modifier significantly improve its low-temperature mechanical properties. The DSR and BBR test results further show that SBS/rubber powder composite-modified asphalt exhibits excellent rheological properties under both high- and low-temperature conditions, and is the preferred solution for road materials in cold regions.
For many years, light-matter interaction in the strong-field regime has benefited from continuous improvement of femtosecond lasers, in terms of peak power or repetition rate. One of the most current major challenges is the achievement of high-energy, near single-cycle pulses. Such performances are of primary interest in attosecond science for producing intense isolated bursts of extreme ultraviolet light through high-harmonic generation in gases or solids. We present here a detailed experimental and numerical study on a helium filled hollow-core fiber-based post-compression stage. Our measurements highlight the importance of the width and phase of the input spectrum on the spectral broadening, and on the resulting post-compressed pulse. Near Fourier-transform-limited pulses as short as 3.5 fs, carrying a 2.5 mJ energy centered at 750 nm at 1 kHz repetition rate, and leading to a compression factor greater than seven, are demonstrated. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Here, spectral broadening is governed by the Kerr effect and the self-steepening on the trailing edge of the guided pulse.
Three methods of drawing 3D graphics in C# were described and analyzed,which are GDI+,OpenGL and loading 3D models that made with special modeling software.Graphics programming with GDI+ in C# is simple and loading 3D models in C# is fit for complex modeling.
Carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization of a femtosecond chirped-pulse amplification system featuring a compact transmission grating compressor is demonstrated. The system includes two amplification stages and routinely generates phase-stable (~250 mrad rms) 2 mJ, 25 fs pulses at 1 kHz. Minimizing the optical pathway in the compressor enables phase stabilization without feedback control of the grating separation or beam pointing. We also demonstrate for the first time to the best of our knowledge, out-of-loop control of the CEP using an acousto-optic programmable dispersive filter inside the laser chain.
A simple constrained uniaxial tensile apparatus was designed and constructed to obtain stress-strain curve during stretching and subsequent structural evolution of polymeric films. Stretch is carried out through two motor driven clamps in the machine direction and scissor-like clamps in the transverse direction keeping the sample width constant. The force information during film stretching process is recorded by a tension sensor and structural evolution can be obtained by in situ X-ray scattering technique. All parameters related to film stretching manufacturing, such as temperature, draw ratio, and stretching speed can be set independently, making the apparatus an effective method to explore the relationship between processing parameters and structure.
