However, its inherent brittleness poses machining problems. This study employed Elliptical Ultrasonic Vibration Milling (EUVM) to address these problems. Considering the influence of machining parameters on vibration patterns of EUVM, a separation time model was established to analyze the vibration evolutionary process, thereby instructing the cutting mechanism. On this basis, deep discussions regarding chip formation, cutting force, edge breakage, and subsurface layer deformation were conducted for EUVM and Conventional Milling (CM). Chip morphology showed the chip formation was rooted in the periodic brittle fracture. Local dimples proved that the thermal effect of high-speed cutting improved the plasticity of γ-TiAl. EUVM achieved a maximum 18.17% reduction in cutting force compared with CM. The force variation mechanism differed with changes in the cutting speed or the vibration amplitude, and its correlation with thermal softening, strain hardening, and vibratory cutting effects was analyzed. EUVM attained desirable edge breakage by achieving smaller fracture lengths. The fracture mechanisms of different phases were distinct, causing a surge in edge fracture size of γ-TiAl under microstructural differences. In terms of subsurface deformation, EUVM also showed strengthening effects. Noteworthy, the lamellar deformation patterns under the cutting removal state differed from the quasi-static, which was categorized by the orientation angles. Additionally, the electron backscattering diffraction provided details of the influence of microstructural difference on the orientation and the deformation of grains in the subsurface layer. The results demonstrate that EUVM is a promising machining method for γ-TiAl and guide further research and development of EUVM γ-TiAl.展开更多

Here, we perform systematic studies on the elastic properties of the Cu–6wt% Ag alloy wire, which is a promising candidate material for the new-generation pulsed magnets, by employing two independent ultrasonic techniques, i.e., resonant ultrasound spectroscopy(RUS) and ultrasound pulse-echo experiments. Our RUS measurements manifest that the elastic properties of the Cu–6wt% Ag alloy wires can be improved by an electroplastic drawing procedure as compared with the conventional cold drawing. We also take this opportunity to test the availability of our newly-built ultrasound pulse-echo facility at the Wuhan National High Magnetic Field Center(WHMFC, China), and the results suggest that the elastic performance of the electroplastically-drawn Cu–6wt% Ag alloy wire remains excellent without anomalous softening under extreme conditions,e.g., in ultra-high magnetic field up to 50 T and nitrogen or helium cryogenic liquids.展开更多

The quantitative model of atomic diffusion, which is related to the ultrasonic bonding parameters, time and distance, is established to calculate the atomic diffusion of the Al-Au interface. The maximum relative error between the calculated and experimental fraction of Al atom is 7.35%, indicating high prediction accuracy of this model. During the process of ultrasonic bonding, Au8Al3 is the main intermetallic compound (IMC) at the Al-Au interface. With larger bonding forces, higher ultrasonic powers and longer bonding time, it is more difficult to remove the oxide particles from the Al-Au interface, which hinders the atomic diffusion. Therefore, the complicated stress state and the existence of oxide particles both promotes the formation of holes. The shear strength of Al-Au ultrasonic bonding increases with increasing bonding force, ultrasonic power and bonding time. However, combined with the presence of holes at especial parameters, the optimal ultrasonic bonding parameter is confirmed to be a bonding force of 23 gf, ultrasonic power of 75 mW and bonding time of 21 ms.展开更多

文摘BiVO_(4)porous spheres modified by ZnO were designed and synthesized using a facile two-step method.The resulting ZnO/BiVO_(4)composite catalysts have shown remarkable efficiency as piezoelectric catalysts for degrading Rhodamine B(RhB)unde mechanical vibrations,they exhibit superior activity compared to pure ZnO.The 40wt%ZnO/BiVO_(4)heterojunction composite displayed the highest activity,along with good stability and recyclability.The enhanced piezoelectric catalytic activity can be attributed to the form ation of an I-scheme heterojunction structure,which can effectively inhibit the electron-hole recombination.Furthermore,hole(h+)and superoxide radical(·O_(2)^(-))are proved to be the primary active species.Therefore,ZnO/BiVO_(4)stands as an efficient and stable piezoelectric catalyst with broad potential application in the field of environmental water pollution treatment.

文摘Conductor materials with good mechanical performance as well as high electrical and thermal conductivities are particularly important to break through the current bottle-neck limit(~ 100 T) of pulsed magnets. Here, we perform systematic studies on the elastic properties of the Cu–6wt% Ag alloy wire, which is a promising candidate material for the new-generation pulsed magnets, by employing two independent ultrasonic techniques, i.e., resonant ultrasound spectroscopy(RUS) and ultrasound pulse-echo experiments. Our RUS measurements manifest that the elastic properties of the Cu–6wt% Ag alloy wires can be improved by an electroplastic drawing procedure as compared with the conventional cold drawing. We also take this opportunity to test the availability of our newly-built ultrasound pulse-echo facility at the Wuhan National High Magnetic Field Center(WHMFC, China), and the results suggest that the elastic performance of the electroplastically-drawn Cu–6wt% Ag alloy wire remains excellent without anomalous softening under extreme conditions,e.g., in ultra-high magnetic field up to 50 T and nitrogen or helium cryogenic liquids.

文摘A low rare-earth containing ZEK100-O magnesium alloy was welded to AA1230-clad high-strength AA2024-T3 aluminum alloy via solidstate ultrasonic spot welding(USW)to evaluate the microstructure,tensile lap shear strength,and fatigue properties.The tensile strength increased with increasing welding energy,peaked at a welding energy of 1000 J,and then decreased due to the formation of an increasingly thick diffusion layer mainly containing Al12Mg17intermetallic compound at higher energy levels.The peak tensile lap shear strength attained at 1000 J was attributed to the optimal inter-diffusion between the magnesium alloy and softer AA1230-clad Al layer along with the presence of‘fishhook'-like mechanical interlocks at the weld interface and the formation of an indistinguishable intermetallic layer.The dissimilar joints welded at 1000 J also exhibited a longer fatigue life than other Mg-Al dissimilar joints,suggesting the beneficial role of the softer clad layer with a better intermingling capacity during USW.While the transverse-through-thickness(TTT)failure mode prevailed at lower cyclic loading levels,interfacial failure was the predominant mode of fatigue failure at higher cyclic loads,where distinctive fatigue striations were also observed on the fracture surface of the softer clad Al layer.This was associated with the presence of opening stress and bending moment near the nugget edge despite the tension-tension lap shear cyclic loading applied.

文摘The Mg-9Li-1Zn(LZ91)alloy was subjected to an ultrasonic surface rolling process(USRP)with varying passes for the purpose of modifying its surface state.The USRP transformed surface residual stress from initial tensile stress to compressive stress,decreasing the surface roughness and increasing the ratio of the β-Li phase.The USRPed LZ91 sample(3 passes)showed superior corrosion resistance,with the corrosion current density changing from 57.11 to 24.70μA cm^(-2),and the polarization resistance increasing from 576.3 to 1146.1Ωcm^(2).According to the corrosion procedure evaluations,in situ observation revealed that the LZ91 alloy initially experiences pitting,which subsequently develops into cracking.The substantial area coverage of the β-Li phase facilitates the formation of a protective film on the surface,effectively delaying localized corrosion.

文摘Unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm network consisting of a collection of micro UAVs can be used for many applications.It is well established that packet routing is a fundamental problem to achieve UAV collaboration.However,the highly dynamic nature of UAVs,frequently changing network topologies and security issues,poses significant challenges to packet forwarding in UAV networks.The existing topology-based routing protocols are not well suited in UAV network due to their high controlling overhead or excessive end-to-end delay.Geographic routing is regarded as a promising solution,as it only requires local information.In order to enhance the accuracy and security of geographic routing in highly dynamic UAV network,in this paper,we propose a new predictive geographic(PGeo)routing strategy with location verification.First,a detection mechanism is adopted to recognize malicious UAVs falsifying their location.Then,an accurate average service time of a packet in the medium access control(MAC)layer is derived to assist location prediction.The proposed delay model can provide a theoretical basis for future work,and our simulation results reveal that PGeo outstrips the existing geographic routing protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio in the presence of location spoofing behavior.

文摘A novel method is developed by utilizing the fractional frequency based multirange rulers to precisely position the passive inter-modulation(PIM)sources within radio frequency(RF)cables.The proposed method employs a set of fractional frequencies to create multiple measuring rulers with different metric ranges to determine the values of the tens,ones,tenths,and hundredths digits of the distance.Among these rulers,the one with the lowest frequency determines the maximum metric range,while the one with the highest frequency decides the highest achievable accuracy of the position system.For all rulers,the metric accuracy is uniquely determined by the phase accuracy of the detected PIM signals.With the all-phase Fourier transform method,the phases of the PIM signals at all fractional frequencies maintain almost the same accuracy,approximately 1°(about 1/360 wavelength in the positioning accuracy)at the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of 10 d B.Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed method,improving the positioning accuracy of the cable PIM up to a millimeter level with the highest fractional frequency operating at 200 MHz.

文摘Effects of ultrasonic bonding parameters on atomic diffusion, microstructure at the Al-Au interface, and shear strength of Al-Au ultrasonic bonding were investigated by the combining experiments and finite element (FE) simulation. The quantitative model of atomic diffusion, which is related to the ultrasonic bonding parameters, time and distance, is established to calculate the atomic diffusion of the Al-Au interface. The maximum relative error between the calculated and experimental fraction of Al atom is 7.35%, indicating high prediction accuracy of this model. During the process of ultrasonic bonding, Au8Al3 is the main intermetallic compound (IMC) at the Al-Au interface. With larger bonding forces, higher ultrasonic powers and longer bonding time, it is more difficult to remove the oxide particles from the Al-Au interface, which hinders the atomic diffusion. Therefore, the complicated stress state and the existence of oxide particles both promotes the formation of holes. The shear strength of Al-Au ultrasonic bonding increases with increasing bonding force, ultrasonic power and bonding time. However, combined with the presence of holes at especial parameters, the optimal ultrasonic bonding parameter is confirmed to be a bonding force of 23 gf, ultrasonic power of 75 mW and bonding time of 21 ms.

文摘Ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting(UEVC)with clockwise elliptical vibration has made notable achievements in precision machining;however,its critical cutting speed limits its application to low-speed machining tasks.Meanwhile,rotary ultrasonic elliptical machining(RUEM)with clockwise elliptical vibration has been validated as an effective high-speed cutting technology.Unfortunately,conventional RUEM leads to increased surface roughness.To address this issue and enhance machining quality,we propose a novel RUEM method employing an anticlockwise vibration direction,called anticlockwise rotary ultrasonic elliptical machining(ARUEM).The mechanisms of surface formation and subsurface strengthening for ARUEM are analyzed.Experimental validations were performed on Ti-6Al-4V alloy,revealing that ARUEM achieved substantially lower ridge heights and up to a 50%reduction in surface roughness compared to conventional RUEM.Additionally,relative to conventional milling,ARUEM resulted in up to 122.6%thicker plastic deformation layers,53.4%higher surface residual compressive stress,and 19.3%greater surface micro-hardness.This study showcases a promising method for high-performance milling of Ti-6Al-4V,offers new insights into RUEM by examining the influence of vibration direction,and enhances understanding of surface formation and subsurface strengthening in the ARUEM method.

文摘The combination of ultrasonic and acid fracturing fluid can strengthen the modification effect on the micropore structure of the coal matrix,thereby enhancing the efficiency of the acid fracturing process.In this research,acetic acid was utilized to formulate acid fracturing fluids with varying concentrations,and the evolutionary traits of both the acid fracturing fluids and ultrasonic waves in relation to coal samples were investigated.The functional group structure,mineral composition,micropore structure and surface morphology of coal samples were characterized by FTIR,XRD,N_(2)adsorption at low temperature and SEM-EDS.The results showed that aromatics(I)and branching parameters(CH_(2)/CH_(3))were reduced by 81.58%and 88.67%,respectively,after 9%acetic acid treatment.Acetic acid can dissolve carbonates and clay minerals in coal,create new pores,and increase porosity,pore volume and pore fractal dimension.After modification by 7%acetic acid,the pore volume increased by 5.7 times.SEM observation shows that the diameter of coal surface holes increases,EDS scanning shows that the content of mineral elements in coal decreases,the connectivity of coal holes increases,and the holes expand.The findings of this research offer theoretical direction for optimizing ultrasonic-enhanced acid fracturing fluid modification.

文摘In this study,the influence of focused ultrasonic vibration(UV)in the arc column with a non-consumable electrode on the electro-physical characteristics of the arc,near-electrode voltage drops,and the shape and structure of the arc column discharge were invest-igated.It was determined that a focused ultrasonic field in the welding arc column leads to an increase in the arc discharge voltage.Focusing UV on the electrode and in the welding bath does not increase arc voltage.In contrast,the presence of a focused ultrasonic field in the electrode region of the welding arc increases its voltage by 0.9 V.Under the influence of UV,the voltage drop in the cath-ode region on the arc increases by approximately 2 V,and it increases by 0.8 V in the anode region.However,the voltage in the arc column decreases slightly.The impact of a focused ultrasonic field reduces the arc diameter in the anode region and the column.In contrast,near the cathode region,the diameter increases,indicating a change in the nature of the cathodic flow of charged particles in this area.

文摘Accurate and rapid determination of source locations is of great significance for surface microseismic monitoring.Traditional methods,such as diffraction stacking,are time-consuming and challenging for real-time monitoring.In this study,we propose an approach to locate microseismic events using a deep learning algorithm with surface data.A fully convolutional network is designed to predict source locations.The input data is the waveform of a microseismic event,and the output consists of three 1D Gaussian distributions representing the probability distribution of the source location in the x,y,and z dimensions.The theoretical dataset is generated to train the model,and several data augmentation methods are applied to reduce discrepancies between the theoretical and field data.After applying the trained model to field data,the results demonstrate that our method is fast and achieves comparable location accuracy to the traditional diffraction stacking location method,making it promising for real-time microseismic monitoring.
