Abstract: The underwater glider is a new type of autonomous underwater vehicle driven by buoyancy. The glider hydrofoil is the key driving element of the glider, it works under complex alternative load and determines the safety of navigation of the underwater glider. This paper takes the hydrofoil as the research object, a finite element model of hydrofoil has been established and the dynamic load of hydrofoil has been calculated. Finite element model analysis was conducted to the glider hydrofoil in free and restrained states, and the preceding few orders natural frequency of the glider hydrofoil and the corresponding vibration model and the vibration amplitude in the conditions were conducted respectively. The dangerous area of the glider hydrofoil was found out, which could provide data for optimal dynamic design and dynamic modification of hydrofoil.

Abstract: A simple method is described for preparing silver nanoparticles via photoreduction in layered laponite suspensions without any additional reduction agent or heat treatment. The properties of silver nanoparticles were studied as a function of the UV irradiation time. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to study the variation of particle shape, size and size distribution. The crystal structure of silver nanoparticles was characterized powder Xray diffractometry (XRD). The optical absorption spectra of silver nanoparticles were obtained by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy.
