Results showed that the tensile strength and elongation of the SSSC-fabricated rod were improved by 22% and 17%, respectively, compared with those of the LSC-fabricated rod. For SSSC, the average particle size（APS） and the shape factor（SF） increased with the increase of re-melting temperature（Tr）, whereas the tensile strength and elongation increased first and then decreased. The APS increased with increasing the mold temperature（Tm）, whereas the SF increased initially and then decreased, which caused the tensile strength and elongation to increase initially and then decrease. The APS decreased and the SF increased as squeezing pressure（ps） increased, and the mechanical properties were enhanced. Moreover, the optimal Tr, ps and Tm are 848 K, 100 MPa and 523 K, respectively.展开更多

文摘Accurate measurement of anchor rod length is crucial for ensuring structural safety in tunnel engineering,yet conventional destructive techniques face limitations in efficiency and adaptability to complex underground environments.This study presents a novel wireless instrument based on the standing wave principle to enable remote,non-destructive length assessment.The system employs a master-slave architecture,where a handheld transmitter unit initiates measurements through robust 433 MHz wireless communication,optimized for signal penetration in obstructed spaces.The embedded measurement unit,integrated with anchor rods during installation,utilizes frequency-scanning technology to excite structural resonances.By analyzing standing wave characteristics,anchor length is derived from a calibrated frequency-length relationship.Power management adopts a standby-activation strategy to minimize energy consumption while maintaining operational readiness.Experimental validation confirms the system effectively measures anchor lengths with high precision and maintains reliable signal transmission through thick concrete barriers,demonstrating suitability for tunnel deployment.The non-destructive approach eliminates structural damage risks associated with traditional pull-out tests,while wireless operation enhances inspection efficiency in confined spaces.Thiswork establishes a paradigmfor embedded structural healthmonitoring in tunneling,offering significant improvements over existing methods in safety,cost-effectiveness,and scalability.The technology holds promise for broad applications in mining,underground infrastructure,and geotechnical engineering.

文摘h-BN rods modified low-carbon alumina-carbon(Al_(2)O_(3)-C)refractories were prepared,and the effect of h-BN rod addition on the high-temperature properties was investigated and compared with commercial h-BN flake,carbon black,and carbon nanotubes additives.The results demonstrated that Al_(2)O_(3)-C refractories containing h-BN rods exhibited optimal high-temperature service performances,including 25%higher hot modulus of rupture,21.3%higher thermal shock strength residual ratio,20.9%lower in oxidation and 44.3%less in slag corrosion,compared to the counterpart specimens without additives.Moreover,benefiting from the synergistic enhancement of the rod-like h-BN and in-situ generated SiC whiskers,the high-temperature service performances of h-BN rods containing specimens outperformed counterpart specimens containing commercial h-BN flake,carbon black,and carbon nanotubes,respectively.

文摘The numerical simulation of the fluid flow and the flexible rod(s)interaction is more complicated and has lower efficiency due to the high computational cost.In this paper,a semi-resolved model coupling the computational fluid dynamics and the flexible rod dynamics is proposed using a two-way domain expansion method.The gov-erning equations of the flexible rod dynamics are discretized and solved by the finite element method,and the fluid flow is simulated by the finite volume method.The interaction between fluids and solid rods is modeled by introducing body force terms into the momentum equations.Referred to the traditional semi-resolved numerical model,an anisotropic Gaussian kernel function method is proposed to specify the interactive forces between flu-ids and solid bodies for non-circle rod cross-sections.A benchmark of the flow passing around a single flexible plate with a rectangular cross-section is used to validate the algorithm.Focused on the engineering applications,a test case of a finite patch of cylinders is implemented to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the coupled model.

文摘The bimetallic composite rods prepared by co-extrusion have good mechanical properties,but their compressive deformation behaviors have rarely been studied.This paper primarily investigates the compressive deformation behavior of the AZ31/Mg-Gd-Y composite rod,analyzes the differences between its compressive deformation behavior and that of AZ31,and systematically studies the compressive deformation mechanisms of various regions in the composite rod,as well as the texture evolution and{10-12}twin evolution during the compression process.The results reveal that the AZ31/Mg-Gd-Y composite rods exhibit excellent metallurgical bonding,with the interface remaining intact even under a 9%compressive strain.In the compression process,AZ31 initiates yielding earlier than the AZ31/Mg-Gd-Y composite rods,exhibiting a relatively lower yield strength,whereas both show comparable plasticity.The deformation behavior of the AZ31/Mg-Gd-Y composite rod is governed by a combination of basal a slip and{10-12}-1011 tension twinning during compression along the ED(extrusion direction).With increasing compressive strain,the number of{10-12}twins in the AZ31 region(A/G-AZ31)of the AZ31/Mg-Gd-Y composite rod increases significantly,leading to changes in grain orientation,whereas the Mg-Gd-Y region(A/G-Mg-Gd-Y)of the composite rod shows no significant change.In addition,the A/G-Mg-Gd-Y significantly inhibits the nucleation and growth of{10-12}twins in A/G-AZ31 during compression,and thus the texture hardening generated by{10-12}twins make the work hardening behavior of the AZ31/Mg-Gd-Y composite rods different from that of AZ31.
文摘An exact forecast of the failures of a sucker rod-pumped well in a production area means much for an oilfield’s operation budget, operational arrangement and production plan. In this paper, according to the characteristics of failed sucker rod-pumped well randomness and strong outburst, with the gray GM (1,1) forecast model and the Markov forecast model combined, gray GM (1,1) forecast model is utilized to handle the primary data of an oilfield, and Markov forecast model is utilized to calculate the state transfer probability of forecast value. Then, the gray Markov forecast model considering the influence of randomness factors is formed. Field results prove that the calculation precision of this method is higher and the practicability is greater.

文摘Semi-solid squeeze casting（SSSC） and liquid squeeze casting（LSC） processes were used to fabricate a ZL104 connecting rod, and the influences of the process parameters on the microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated. Results showed that the tensile strength and elongation of the SSSC-fabricated rod were improved by 22% and 17%, respectively, compared with those of the LSC-fabricated rod. For SSSC, the average particle size（APS） and the shape factor（SF） increased with the increase of re-melting temperature（Tr）, whereas the tensile strength and elongation increased first and then decreased. The APS increased with increasing the mold temperature（Tm）, whereas the SF increased initially and then decreased, which caused the tensile strength and elongation to increase initially and then decrease. The APS decreased and the SF increased as squeezing pressure（ps） increased, and the mechanical properties were enhanced. Moreover, the optimal Tr, ps and Tm are 848 K, 100 MPa and 523 K, respectively.
