Four different small caliber projectiles were tested against SS400 steel plates of 9 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm thicknesses. The ballistic limit velocity was calculated using two standard methods, MIL-STD-662F and NIJ-STD-0101.06, and additionally using a support vector machine algorithm. The results show a linear relationship between the plate thickness and ballistic limit velocity. Further, the relative penetration performance among five different small caliber projectiles was analyzed using the Penetration Performance Ratio(PPR) introduced in this study, which suggests the potential of PPR to predict the ballistic limit velocity of other untested materials and/or different projectiles.展开更多

In order to reveal the optimum hot extrusion parameters in CHE process, the e ects of the extrusion parameters on the microstructural evolution are investigated systematically. The metadynamic recrystallization(MDRX) kinetic models and grain size models of as-cast P91 steel are established for the first time according to the hot compression tests performed on the Gleeble-3500 thermal-simulation machine. Then a thermal-mechanical and micro-macro coupled hot extrusion finite element(FE) model is established and further developed in DEFORM software. The results indicated that the grain size of the extruded pipe increases with the increasing of initial temperature and extrusion speed, decreases when extrusion ratio increases. Moreover, the grain size is more sensitive to the initial temperature and the extrusion ratio. The optimum hot extrusion parameters are including that, the initial extrusion temperature of 1250 °C, the extrusion ratio of 9 and the extrusion speed of 50 mm/s. Furthermore, in order to verify the simulation precisions, hot extrusion experiment verification on the heavy caliber thick-wall pipe is carried out on the 500 MN vertical hot extrusion equipment. The load–displacement curve of the extrusion process and the grain sizes of the middle part extruded pipe are in good accuracy with the simulation results, which confirms that the hot extrusion FE models of as-cast P91 steel could estimate the hot extrusion behaviors. The proposed hot extrusion FE model can be used to guide the industrial production research of CHE process.展开更多

O＇Neal blueberries harvested in a three-year old orchard having a plantation density of 3,333 plants hal. The marine algae extract was applied in three phenologic phases： full bloom, fruit set and fruit color break. Four treatments were conducted： To, application of pure water （without the product）; T1, a 280 mL ha1 dose per application; T2, a 140 mL ha^-1 dose, equivalent to 50% of the treatment dose T1; and T3, a 420 mL ha^-1 dose, equivalent to a 50% extra than the treatment dose T1. The experimental design comprised sutb-sampling blocks with three repetitions of three uniform and healthy plants per treatment. Regarding the total and average fruit weight, they did not show significant statistical differences, but an increase in the average weight of fruits treated with the aforementioned product was observed. For parameters such as equatorial diameter, caliper and soluble solids of harvested fruit, the product caused a statistically significant increase. T3 was found to be the best treatment with a 15% weight, increasing taste, sugar amount, size and weight of the harvested fruits.展开更多
