The model parameters of the investigated powder Distaloy AE were determined as functions of relative density through typical mechanical property tests of powder. The model was implemented as a user subroutine USDFLD. Single sided compaction of a d20 ram^5 mm disk green compact of Distaloy AE was simulated, and the residual stress of the disk after ejection was predicted with FEA. The FEA results of the compaction process and the residual stress of the disk show good agreement with compaction experiments and X-ray diffraction measurements, which validates the model and its parameters. The results indicate that the compressive residual stresses exist mainly in a thin layer on the side surface, but the residual stresses are very small on the top and bottom surfaces.展开更多

The associated hydrothermal treatment and the effect on the apatite formation were studied. The results suggested that TiO was generated under the condition of low vacuum （1 ×10^-2 Pa） during the process of burning out the spacer-holding particles. After hydrothermal treatment, a sub-microscale porous layer was formed at the pore wall surface of the samples. The apatite-inducing ability of hydrothermal treated porous sintered Ti-Ag compacts with different Ag content was evaluated in modified simulated body fluid （SBF）. And the results proved that there is a clear correlation between the apatite-inducing ability and Ag content. The higher Ag content in porous leads to the decrease of Na＋ ions and basic hydroxyl （OH）b amount, resulting in the decline of apatite-inducing ability in the first stage. However, their apatite-inducing ability was not significantly different from that of Ti after two weeks SBF immersing. Hence, the ionic activity should restore with the processing of SBF soaking, as the saturation of Ag effect.展开更多

A comparison between the requirements of flowability and moldability and the compacts shape retention has been made in this work. There is often a contradiction between the requirements of flowability and the compacts shape retention. Many works have been done to attain good molding conditions.

Compacts prepared at 290 MPa pressure, were sintered in an argon atmosphere at 573, 673, 773 and 873 K for 1 hour. The green density, % porosity, % spring back and hardness of the green compacts were determined. Scanning Electron Microscopy was carried out to observe the morphology of pores and alumina particles in green and sintered compacts. The present study indicates that, densification of the compact increases with increasing compacting pressure and decreases with increasing alumina content. Maximum density achieved is 93% for pure aluminium compacts and decreases to 85% for Al-20 wt% alumina compacts. Grain growth of aluminium particles is noticed in the compacts after sintering at 773 and 873 K. Dispersion of fine alumina particle in the aluminium matrix occurs predominantly in the compact when sintered at 773 K which results in increase in hardness value.展开更多

Several factors which influence the properties of grinding wheel such as amount of vitrified bond and the kinds and amount of stuff in grinding wheel were also investigated. It was found that the new vitrified bond can firmly combine diamond grains, when there are only diamonds and vitrified bond in the structure of grinding wheel, the longevity of the grinding wheel is about 2.5-3 times as that of resin bond grinding wheel for processing PDCs. The grinding size precision of PDCs can be improved from 4-0.03 mm to 4-0.01 mm because of larger Young＇s modulus of vitrified bond than resin bond. The grinding time of a PDC product can be 1.75-2.0 min from 3.25-3.5 min, so this kind of grinding wheel can save much time for processing PDCs. Also, there is hardly noise when using this new vitrified bond diamond grinding wheel to process PDCs. The amount of vitrified bond in grinding wheel influences the longevity of grinding wheel. When the size of diamond grains is 90-107 μm, the optimal amount of vitrified bond in grinding wheel is 21% （wt pct）. When the amount of vitrified bond exceeds 21%, there are many pores in grinding block, which will decrease the longevity of grinding wheel. The existence of addition stuff such as Al2O3 or SiC can reduce the longevity of grinding wheel.展开更多

The experimental results show that the H / D ratio and the rotary forging force are major factors affecting the density of the sintered powder compacts in the rotary forging process. The effect of the H / D ratio and the rotary forging force on the density were discovered. By determining both the density and the hardness of compacts, it was found that the density distributions show no difference from the hardness distributions and that the gradients of the density and the hardness in the axial direction are larger than those in the radial direction.展开更多

文摘In order to obtain high property powder metallurgy products, at present rotary forging process has often been used to further densify the sintered powder compact, but the densification law and property analysis have very rarely been studied, therefore the densification laws of sintered powder compacts being composed of Fe 0.8%C 4.0%Cu 0.2% zinc stearate and formed as cylindrical shape by double action pressing, and then further densified as well in a rotary forging process was studied by orthogonal experiment and regression analysis. The experimental results show that the H / D ratio and the rotary forging force are major factors affecting the density of the sintered powder compacts in the rotary forging process. The effect of the H / D ratio and the rotary forging force on the density were discovered. By determining both the density and the hardness of compacts, it was found that the density distributions show no difference from the hardness distributions and that the gradients of the density and the hardness in the axial direction are larger than those in the radial direction.

文摘Soil compaction often imposes stress on root development and plant survival.However,root anatomical responses that enable persistent root growth and functioning under soil compaction remain unclear.We grew 10 herbaceous species differing substantially in lateral root diameter,in soils with low(1.0 g cm^(-3))and high(1.4 g cm^(-3))bulk density,and assessed root traits including root biomass,anatomical structures,and respiration rates.Greater root thickening upon soil compaction was found in species with thicker first-order lateral roots,mainly due to larger cortical cell size.Both xylem vessel diameter and wall thickness increased more in compacted soils in these species.Despite these anatomical shifts,root respiration rate responded little to soil compaction across most species,likely due to the opposite investment in cortical cells and xylem vessels.Notably,root biomass,independent of root respiration rate and anatomical structures,determined whole-plant growth under soil compaction.Our study reveals two independent strategies of root response to soil compaction:anatomical remodeling for mechanical and metabolic maintenance,and root biomass investment for resource acquisition.These findings offer new insights for breeding and selecting species tolerant to soil compaction and highlight multidimensional strategies of plant adaptation to physical stress.

文摘Ground penetrating radar(GPR)offers a rapid and non-destructive approach to evaluating asphalt mixtures by capturing variations in their dielectric constant.As a critical electromagnetic parameter,the dielectric constant demonstrates significant potential for assessing the material composition and mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures.However,the relationship between the dielectric constant and mechanical properties remains unclear.To investigate the factors affecting the dielectric constant and its correlation with the mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures,a systematic analysis of the influencing parameters was conducted.Fitting equations were established to quantify the relationships between the dielectric constant and mechanical properties.Firstly,the effects of compaction state,testing frequency,and testing temperature on the dielectric constant were evaluated.Subsequently,forward simulations of GPR were executed on asphalt pavements with diverse air voids and detection frequencies.Finally,a fitting analysis was performed to determine the correlation between the dielectric constant and the dynamic modulus,compressive strength,and splitting tensile strength.The results indicated that the dielectric constant increased with the compaction state,decreased with increasing testing frequency until stabilized,and was insignificantly affected by changes in testing temperature.The change of air void in asphalt pavement has significantly affected the amplitude and timing of electromagnetic wave reflection.A linear positive correlation was identified between the dielectric constant and dynamic modulus as well as compressive strength,while a quadratic positive correlation existed with splitting tensile strength.This study provided theoretical and practical foundations for enhancing the reliability and accuracy of non-destructive testing in asphalt pavement.

文摘Quantitative detection of sleeve grouting compactness is a technical challenge in civil engineering testing.This study explores a novel quantitative detection method based on ultrasonic time-frequency dual-domain analysis.It establishes a mapping relationship between sleeve grouting compactness and characteristic parameters.First,this study made samples with gradient defects for two types of grouting sleeves,G18 and G20.These included four cases:2D,4D,6D defects(where D is the diameter of the grouting sleeve),and no-defect.Then,an ultrasonic input/output data acquisition system was established.Three-dimensional sound field distribution data were obtained through an orthogonal detection layout and pulse reflection principles.Finally,a novel quantification detection with a comprehensive defect index(DI)was established by comprehensively considering eight feature parameters,such as time-frequency domain Kurtosis factor(KU),Skewness factor(SK),Formfactor(FF),Crest factor(CF),Impulse factor(IF),Clearance factor(CLF),Wavelet packet energy entropy(WPEE),and Hilbert energy peak(HEP).Construct a DI index by quantifying the difference between defect signals and defect free signals in the time-frequency domain.Experimental results show that,under no-defect conditions,the values of feature parameters are significantly lower than those under defect conditions.Among these,the KU,FF,CF,WPEE and HEP exhibit strong correlations with grout sleeve compactness.The proposed DI index in both types of grout sleeves showed good universality with a linear fit goodness of 0.847–0.962.However,G20 the larger inner diameter and length of the sleeve result in a more complex medium effect during ultrasonic propagation,making its DI index more sensitive to defects than the G18 sleeve.Therefore,the presented method is effective for quantitative detection and analysis of the compactness of grouting sleeves.

文摘Laser-assisted drilling combined with full-size polycrystalline diamond compact(PDC)bit is considered a feasible solution to enhance the drilling performance of engineering machinery.In this method,determining the optimal collaborative control parameters that support rapid drilling is crucial for improving the combined performance.This study used average drilling speed,average torque,and total specificenergy for quantitative analysis to characterize the efficiencyand economy of combined rock breaking.Given the advantage of the response surface methodology in providing high-precision predictions with limited experimental data,regression models of the average drilling speed,average torque,and total specificenergy were established.The results showed that as the laser power and irradiation time increased,the average drilling speed firstincreased rapidly and then leveled off,while the average torque decreased sharply before decelerating.The total specificenergy initially decreased and then increased,with the combined drilling outperforming conventional mechanical drilling within specific parameter ranges.As the weight on bit increased,both the average torque and total specificenergy first decreased and then increased.With rising rotating speed,the average torque exhibited a trend of initial increase,then decrease,and finalincrease,whereas the total specificenergy increased slowly at firstand then sharply.Both parameters exhibited optimal values at which the average torque and total specific energy remained at minimal levels.For granite combined drilling,the optimal performance was achieved at a laser power of 3000 W,irradiation time of 31 s,the weight on bit of 2.4 kN,and the rotating speed of 97 r/min.
文摘This paper deals with the numerical solutions of two-dimensional(2D)semi-linear reaction-diffusion equations(SLRDEs)with piecewise continuous argument(PCA)in reaction term.A high-order compact difference method called Ⅰ-type basic scheme is developed for solving the equations and it is proved under the suitable conditions that this method has the computational accuracy O(τ^(2)+h_(x)^(4)+h_(y)^(4)),where τ,h_(x )and h_(y) are the calculation stepsizes of the method in t-,x-and y-direction,respectively.With the above method and Newton linearized technique,a Ⅱ-type basic scheme is also suggested.Based on the both basic schemes,the corresponding Ⅰ-and Ⅱ-type alternating direction implicit(ADI)schemes are derived.Finally,with a series of numerical experiments,the computational accuracy and efficiency of the four numerical schemes are further illustrated.

文摘The models constructed by particle flow simulation method can effectively simulate the heterogeneous substance characteristics and failure behaviors of rocks.However,existing contact models overlook the rock cracks,and the various simulation methods that do consider cracks still exhibit certain limitations.In this paper,based on Flat-Joint model and Linear Parallel Bond model,a crack contact model considering linked substance in the crack is proposed by splitting the crack contact into two portions:linked portion and unlinked portion for calculation.The new contact model considers the influence of crack closure on the contact force-displacement law.And a better compressive tensile strength ratio(UCS/T)was obtained by limiting the failure of the contact bond to be solely controlled by the contact force and moment of the linked portion.Then,by employing the FISH Model tool within the Particle Flow Code,the contact model was constructed and verified through contact force–displacement experiments and loading-unloading tests with cracked model.Finally,the contact model was tested through simulations of rock mechanics experiments.The results indicate that the contact model can effectively simulate the axial and lateral strain laws of rocks simultaneously and has a relatively good reproduction of the bi-modularity of rocks.

文摘Real-time assessment of subgrade compaction quality poses a significant challenge in the implementation of intelligent compaction(IC).Current compaction evaluation models are confined to specific scenarios and lack robustness.This study proposes a subgrade compaction strategy that utilizes a heterogeneous dataset to estimate compaction quality across diverse scenarios while maintaining model accuracy.Field compaction tests are conducted in four distinct scenarios,considering various construction parameters.Compaction models are developed using several machine learning algorithms.The datasets are thoroughly assessed in terms of quality,diversity and similarity.The proposed model exhibits good performance in new scenarios by incorporating an additional 5%e8%of new data for retraining.The model's generalization capability is enhanced by conducting a limited number of field tests,which are labor-saving and time-efficient.The model's accuracy consistently improves across diverse scenarios and optimal algorithms.The proposed compaction strategy adopts a physics-and-data dual-driven approach,aimed at practical engineering applications and guiding the compaction procedure.
