As the name presupposes, RoPax ships are used for carriage of rolling type-cargoes and as well as passengers. RoPax are usually medium size ships with high performance characteristics that enhance their application for both long and short distance journeys. For instance, in Nigeria where most of her regions are surrounded by seas, this type of ship is apt. Several methods were implemented in order to obtain some preliminary results scoped in dimension, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic characteristics. The methods used correlate well with conventional values discussed in reality and in literatures.展开更多

Hydros...Hydraulic hybrid vehicles （HHV） with secondary regulation technology has the potential of improving fuel economy by operating the engine in the optimum efficiency range and making use of regenerative braking. Hydrostatic transmission technology has the advantage of higher power density and the ability to accept the high rates and high frequencies of charging and discharging, both of which are not favorable for batteries, but the lower energy density requires special power matching design and control strategy to coordinate all the powertrain components in an optimal manner. A multi-objective optimization method is proposed to distinguish the components size values of HHV by considering the requirements of driving cycles and technology aspects. The regenerative braking strategy and energy control strategy based on the optimized HHV is proposed to recovery the braking energy and distribute the regenerated braking energy. Simulation results show that by taking the optimized configuration of HHV, adopting the regenerative braking strategy and energy control strategy are helpful to improve the system efficiency and fuel economy of HHV under urban driving cycles.展开更多

In the HC...Hydrostatic cyclic expansion extrusion(HCEE) process at elevated temperatures is proposed as a method for processing less deformable materials such as magnesium and for producing long ultrafine-grained rods. In the HCEE process at elevated temperatures, high-pressure molten linear low-density polyethylene(LLDPE) was used as a fluid to eliminate frictional forces. To study the capability of the process,AM60 magnesium rods were processed and the properties were investigated. The mechanical properties were found to improve significantly after the HCEE process. The yield and ultimate strengths increased from initial values of 138 and 221 MPa to 212 and 317 MPa, respectively.Moreover, the elongation was enhanced due to the refined grains and the existence of high hydrostatic pressure. Furthermore, the microhardness was increased from HV 55.0 to HV 72.5. The microstructural analysis revealed that ultrafine-grained structure could be produced by the HCEE process. Moreover, the size of the particles decreased, and these particles thoroughly scattered between the grains. Finite element analysis showed that the HCEE was independent of the length of the sample, which makes the process suitable for industrial applications.展开更多

文摘In order to study the laws of the extrusion pressure changing with the extrusion parameters in the process of hydrostatic extrusion for the tungsten alloys, the large deformation elasto plastic theory and the software of ANSYS 5 5 are used to carry out the numerical simulation research. The laws of the extrusion pressure changing with the extrusion parameters, such as the die angle, extrusion ratio, and friction coefficient, are obtained. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental ones, and the simulated results are believable.
文摘This paper describes procedures used for preliminary design analysis of a roll-on;roll-off passenger vessel abbreviated as RoPox. As the name presupposes, RoPax ships are used for carriage of rolling type-cargoes and as well as passengers. RoPax are usually medium size ships with high performance characteristics that enhance their application for both long and short distance journeys. For instance, in Nigeria where most of her regions are surrounded by seas, this type of ship is apt. Several methods were implemented in order to obtain some preliminary results scoped in dimension, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic characteristics. The methods used correlate well with conventional values discussed in reality and in literatures.

文摘Hydraulic hybrid vehicles （HHV） with secondary regulation technology has the potential of improving fuel economy by operating the engine in the optimum efficiency range and making use of regenerative braking. Hydrostatic transmission technology has the advantage of higher power density and the ability to accept the high rates and high frequencies of charging and discharging, both of which are not favorable for batteries, but the lower energy density requires special power matching design and control strategy to coordinate all the powertrain components in an optimal manner. A multi-objective optimization method is proposed to distinguish the components size values of HHV by considering the requirements of driving cycles and technology aspects. The regenerative braking strategy and energy control strategy based on the optimized HHV is proposed to recovery the braking energy and distribute the regenerated braking energy. Simulation results show that by taking the optimized configuration of HHV, adopting the regenerative braking strategy and energy control strategy are helpful to improve the system efficiency and fuel economy of HHV under urban driving cycles.
文摘Capability of a novel severe plastic deformation(SPD)method of hydrostatic cyclic extrusion compression(HCEC)for processing of hcp metallic rods with high length to diameter ratios was investigated.The process was conducted in two consecutive cycles on the AZ91 magnesium alloy,and microstructural evolution,mechanical properties and corrosion behavior were investigated.The results showed that the HCEC process was successively capable of producing ultrafine-grained long magnesium rods.Its ability in improving strength and ductility simultaneously was also shown.The ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of the sample after the second cycle of the process were improved to be 2.46 and 3.8 times those of the as-cast specimen,respectively.Distribution of the microhardness after the second cycle was uniform and its average value was increased by 116%.The potentials derived from the polarization curves were high and the currents were much low for the processed samples.Also,the diameter of the capacitive arcs derived from the Nyquist curves was large in the HCEC processed samples.The finite element analysis indicated the independency of HCEC load from the length in comparison to the conventional CEC.HCEC is a unique SPD method,which can produce long ultrafine-grained rods with a combination of superior mechanical and corrosion properties.

文摘Hydrostatic mechanical face seals for reactor coolant pumps are very important for the safety and reliability of pressurized-water reactor power plants.More accurate models on the operating mechanism of the seals are needed to help improve their performance.The thermal fluid–solid interaction（TFSI）mechanism of the hydrostatic seal is investigated in this study.Numerical models of the flow field and seal assembly are developed.Based on the mechanism for the continuity condition of the physical quantities at the fluid–solid interface,an on-line numerical TFSI model for the hydrostatic mechanical seal is proposed using an iterative coupling method.Dynamic mesh technology is adopted to adapt to the changing boundary shape.Experiments were performed on a test rig using a full-size test seal to obtain the leakage rate as a function of the differential pressure.The effectiveness and accuracy of the TFSI model were verified by comparing the simulation results and experimental data.Using the TFSI model,the behavior of the seal is presented,including mechanical and thermal deformation,and the temperature field.The influences of the rotating speed and differential pressure of the sealing device on the temperature field,which occur widely in the actual use of the seal,are studied.This research proposes an on-line and assembly-based TFSI model for hydrostatic mechanical face seals,and the model is validated by full-sized experiments.

文摘The stresses around bubbles formed on a coating/substrate interface under hydrostatic pressure(HP)and alternating hydrostatic pressure(AHP)were calculated using the finite element method.The results reveal that HP promotes coating failure but does not mechanically destroy the interface,whereas AHP can provide tensile stress on bubbles formed at the interface and accelerate disbonding of the coating.Because of water resistance,a lag time exists for the coating that serves in an AHP environment.The coating can have a better protective performance if the lag time suits the AHP to minimize the impact of the AHP on the interface.

文摘Hydrostatic cyclic expansion extrusion(HCEE) process at elevated temperatures is proposed as a method for processing less deformable materials such as magnesium and for producing long ultrafine-grained rods. In the HCEE process at elevated temperatures, high-pressure molten linear low-density polyethylene(LLDPE) was used as a fluid to eliminate frictional forces. To study the capability of the process,AM60 magnesium rods were processed and the properties were investigated. The mechanical properties were found to improve significantly after the HCEE process. The yield and ultimate strengths increased from initial values of 138 and 221 MPa to 212 and 317 MPa, respectively.Moreover, the elongation was enhanced due to the refined grains and the existence of high hydrostatic pressure. Furthermore, the microhardness was increased from HV 55.0 to HV 72.5. The microstructural analysis revealed that ultrafine-grained structure could be produced by the HCEE process. Moreover, the size of the particles decreased, and these particles thoroughly scattered between the grains. Finite element analysis showed that the HCEE was independent of the length of the sample, which makes the process suitable for industrial applications.

文摘The effect of compressive stress on the stability of reversed austenite in gNi steel was investigated by uni- axial and hydrostatic compression. It was found that the uniaxial compressive pressure promoted the Υ-α transformation, while the hydrostatic pressure suppressed the -Υ-α transformation. The pressure dependent transformation behavior can be explained according to thermodynamic analysis.

文摘The shear failure of rocks under both a static triaxial stress and a dynamic disturbance is common in deep underground engineering and it is therefore essential for the design of underground engineering to quantitively estimate the dynamic ModeⅡfracture toughness KⅡCof rocks under a triaxial stress state.However,the method for determining the dynamic KⅡCof rocks under a triaxial stress has not been developed yet.With an optimal sample preparation,the short core in compression(SCC)method was designed and verified in this study to measure the dynamic KⅡCof Fangshan marble(FM)subjected to different hydrostatic pressures through a triaxial dynamic testing system.The formula for calculating the dynamic KⅡCof the rock SCC specimen under hydrostatic pressures was obtained by using the finite element method in combination with secondary cracks.The experimental results indicate that the failure mode of the rock SCC specimen under a hydrostatic pressure is the shear fracture and the KⅡCof FM increases as the loading rate.In addition,at a given loading rate the dynamic rock KⅡCis barely affected by hydrostatic pressures.Another important observation is that the dynamic fracture energy of FM enhances with loading rates and hydrostatic pressures.

文摘This paper reviewed the corrosion behavior of metals in simulated deep-water environments and briefly discussed the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the different corrosion types for the active and the passive alloys.A consensus on the corrosion mechanism is that hydrostatic pressure accelerates the dissolution kinetics,changes the chemical compositions of the product layer or passive films,and promotes the adsorption of Cl^(-)on the metal surface.In addition,a newly-developed mechanism that hydrostatic pressure facilitates the dissolution process by thinning the electric double layer was reviewed,the synergistic effect of hydrostatic pressure and tensile stress on the stress corrosion cracking was discussed,and the modified coating with chemical bonding interface to prolong the service life in this environment was introduced.
