A modified experimental setup is devised with the pump path intercalated a moving stage identical to the one in the probe path, which extends the optical path difference of the probe beam relative to the pump beam from 4 to 8 ns. The measured results indicate that the uncertainty from the misalignment and divergence of both beams can be ignored when the last 4 ns experimental data are connected with those of the first 4 ns smoothly. The as-obtained thermal conductance of AI/Si and Cr/Si interfaces agrees well with the reported experimental values, which verifies the reliability of this modified version of this measurement.展开更多

Obviously, whether the cracks may spread or not during the water storage process is one of the crucial factors for the safety of a dam. In this paper, a new type of crack element, in which the contact component is implicitly included into the concrete component, is proposed to simulate the effects of the existing cracks. The crack element is proved by numerical example to share the merits of both conventional contact elements and joint elements. With a finite element model of the cracked arch dam together with its rock foundation established, the transient displacement and stress fields of the dam are obtained. The complicated rock foundation, the construction process of the arch dam, the massive cracks, the transient temperature field, as well as the water storage process have been taken into consideration in the simulation. In addition to the global model, several sub-models for typical crack tips are also generated with finer elements placed around the tips. Thus, more accurate displacement and stress distribution are obtained by simultaneous sub-model simulation. Based on the calculation of stress intensity factor for crack tips by extension method, the temperature cracks in the Xiaowan arch dam are finally proved to be stable.展开更多
