If the cooling rate was given, the fraction of various microstructures transformed of austenite decomposition during continuous cooling at any temperature can be calculated. The simulation results are checked with the quenching experiment of 45 steel. The results indicate that the simulation results are comparatively close to the experimental results.
文摘AIM：To compare accuracy,reproducibility and test duration for the Snellen and the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study（ETDRS）charts,two main tools used to measure visual acuity（VA）.·M ETHODS：A computer simulation was programmed to run multiple virtual patients,each with a unique set of assigned parameters,including VA,false-positive and false-negative error values.For each virtual patient,assigned VA was randomly chosen along a continuous scale spanning the range between 1.0 to 0.0 log MAR units（equivalent to 20/200 to 20/20）.Each of 30 000virtual patients were run ten times on each of the two VA charts.·RESULTS：Average test duration（expressed as the total number of characters presented during the test±SD）was12.6±11.1 and 31.2±14.7 characters,for the Snellen and ETDRS,respectively.Accuracy,defined as the absolute difference（±SD）between the assigned VA and the measured VA,expressed in log MAR units,was superior in the ETDRS charts：0.12±0.14 and 0.08±0.08,for the Snellen and ETDRS charts,respectively.Reproducibility,expressed as test-retest variability,was superior in the ETDRS charts：0.23±0.17 and 0.11±0.09 log MAR units,for the Snellen and ETDRS charts,respectively.·CONCLUSION：A comparison of true（assigned）VA to measured VA,demonstrated,on average,better accuracy and reproducibility of the ETDRS chart,but at the penalty of significantly longer test duration.These differences were most pronounced in the low VA range.The reproducibility using a simulation approach is in line with reproducibility values found in several clinical studies.
文摘The mathematical models of the kinetics of the layer growth at different ion nitriding condi- tions of armco iron.steels 45,40Cr,42CrMo and 38CrMoAl have been established.Based on these models the expression of nitrogen concentration profile of ion nitrided layers have been deduced with profile simulating method.They are C_=C_(min)^+(P_4)/(ξ_1-x)+(P_5)/(ξ_(10)~2)(ξ_1-x)~2 C_(γ′)=C_(min)^(γ′)+(P_1)/(ξ_(21))(ξ_2-x)+(P_2)/(ξ_(21)~2)(ξ_2-x)~2 C_α=C_(min)~α+(C_(33))/(C_(33))/(ξ_(32))(ξ_3-x)~3 Using these models,the kinetics of layer growth and the nitrogen concentration profile of ion nitrided layers were sinulated on Apple-Ⅱ computer.Results show that the simulated curves coincide quite well with the experimental data.

文摘The new filling system is smooth filling without gas gap. It works well in avoiding the generation of defects such as porosity and inclusion. The pouring basin, sprue, runner and the gate of the bolster casting were designed according to the principle of the new filling system. The filling and solidifciation process of the bolster casting were also simulated. It was found that the filling process was smooth, and air entrapment and shrinkage were avoided. Finally, a further validation of the new filling system of bolster casting was carried out in a foundry.
