The colloidal structural evolutions of flocs in oil samples were illustrated by analysis of the size distribution of flocculated asphaltene particles （confocal microscopy tests）. The rheological investigations indicate that the ultrasonic irradiation dissolved heavy components in crude oil. After ultrasonic treatment, the Kouh-e-Mond crude oil was found to be pseudoplastic. In addition, confocal microscopy confirms that there was an optimum duration for ultrasonic irradiation, at which the viscosity and flocculation rate of asphaltenic crude oils reduced to the minimum values. The optimum was found to be approximately 40 min for the Kouh-e-Mond crude oil. Experimental results illustrate that the ultrasonic irradiation could disaggregate heavy colloid components in crude oil, and breakdown of asphaltene molecules would only occur in a specific time interval of irradiation. Also according to the temperature sweep test, the oil temperature rise caused by ultrasonic irradiation was not the main reason for theological changes of the crude oil and this alteration may be due to physical and chemical phenomena induced by sonication in crude oil.展开更多

However, the acoustic plasticity constitutive model and potential mechanism, involving Ti3Al intermetallic compounds, have not yet been clarified. Therefore, the Ultrasonic-K-M hybrid acoustic constitutive model of Ti3Al was established by considering the stress superposition, acoustic thermal softening, acoustic softening and acoustic residual hardening effects according to the dislocation density evolution theory and crystal plasticity theory. Meanwhile, the mechanical behavior of ultrasonic vibration-assisted tension(UVAT) and microstructure of ultrasonic vibration-assisted milling(UVAM) for Ti3Al was investigated. Dislocation density to be overcome from initial deformation to failure of Ti3Al was calculated in UVAT and was verified in UVAM. The results indicated that the Ultrasonic-K-M model showed a good agreement with the experimental data. There was an obviously softening phenomenon after introducing the ultrasonic energy field in the Ti3Al whole deformation region, and the degree of softening was positively correlated with amplitude. Furthermore, the maximum reduction ratio in yield strength of Ti3Al was16 % and the maximum reduction value in ultimate tensile strength was 206.91 MPa. The elongation rose first and then fell as amplitude enlarged, but only as the vibration was applied in the whole deformation region, the elongation was always greater than 14.58 %. In addition, The UVAM process significantly reduced the dislocation density increment to be overcome for Ti3Al material removal by 1.37 times, and promoted dislocation motion and cancellation to make twisted dislocations evolve into parallel dislocations. As the amplitude increased to 4 μm, the depth of the disturbed area of the plastic deformation layer increased by a maximum of 2.5 times.展开更多
