A three dimensional nonlinear mathematical model for quenching process has been established and the numerical simulation on temperature field, microstructure and stress field has been realized. The alternative technique for the formation of high-strength materials has been developed on the basis of intensification of heat transfer at phase transformations. The technology for the achievement of maximum compressive residual stresses on the hard surface is introduced. It has been shown that there is an optimal depth of hard layer providing the maximum compression stresses on the surface. It has also been established that in the surface hard layer additional strengthening (superstrengthening) of the material is observed. The generalized formula for the determination of the time of reaching maximum compressive stresses on the surface has been proposed.展开更多

Owing to both the longer latency and the higher overhead for protocol processing compared with the powerful single workstation capacity, it is becoming severe important to keep balance not only for numerical load but also for communication load, and to overlap communications with computations while parallel computing. Hence,our efficiency evaluation rules must discover these capacities of a given parallel algorithm in order to optimize the existed algorithm to attain its highest parallel efficiency. The traditional efficiency evaluation rules can not succeed in this work any more. Fortunately, thanks to Culler's detail discuss in LogP model about interconnection networks for MPP systems, we present a system of efficiency evaluation rules for parallel computations under workstation cluster with PVM3.0 parallel software framework in this paper. These rules can satisfy above acquirements successfully. At last, two typical synchronous,and asynchronous applications are designed to verify the validity of these rules under 4 SGIs workstations cluster connected by Ethernet.展开更多
