Their effects on...Local melting and the eutectic film and liquation crack formation mechanisms during friction spot weld- ing （FSpW） of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy were studied by both experiment and finite element simulation. Their effects on mechanical properties of the joint were examined. When the welding heat input was high, the peak temperature in the stir zone was higher than the incipient melting temperature of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy. This resulted in local melting along the grain boundaries in this zone. In the retreating stage of the welding process, the formed liquid phase was driven by the flowing plastic material and redistributed as a ＂U-shaped＂ line in the stir zone. In the following cooling stage, this liquid phase transformed into eutectic films and liquation cracks. As a result, a new characteristic of＂U＂ line that consisted of eutectic films and liquation cracks is formed in the FSpWjoin. This ＂U＂ line was located in the high stress region when the FSpW joint was loaded, thus it was adverse to the mechanical properties of the FSpW joint. During tensile shear tests, the ＂U＂ line became a preferred crack propagation path, resulting in the occurrence of brittle fracture.展开更多

This paper introduces a novel method of supercritical energetic fluid thermal shock fracturing. It pioneers a CO_(2) deflagration impact triaxial pneumatic fracturing experimental system, using high-strength similar materials to simulate deep, hard rock masses. The study investigates the rock-breaking process and crack propagation patterns under supercritical CO_(2) thermal shock, revealing and discussing the types of thermal shock-induced fractures, their formation conditions, and discrimination criteria. The research indicates that higher supercritical CO_(2) thermal shock pressures and faster pressure release rates facilitate the formation of radial branching fractures, circumferential cracks, and branch cracks. Typically, CO_(2) thermal shock generates 3–5 radial main cracks, which is significantly more than the single main crack formed by hydraulic fracturing. The formation of branched cracks is often caused by compression-shear failure and occurs under relatively harsh conditions, determined by the confining pressure, rock properties, peak thermal shock pressure, and the pressure sustained post-decompression. The findings are expected to offer a safe, efficient, and controllable shockwave method of supercritical fluid thermal shock fracturing for the exploitation of deep unconventional oil and gas resources.展开更多

For this thin element, the concrete cover thickness is an important factor in affecting the mechanical and anti-crack performance. Therefore, the influences of the surface treatment of the textile and mixing polypropylene fiber into the concrete on the properties of the components with different cover thickness were experimentally studied with four-point bending tests. The experimental results show that for the components with the same cover thickness, sticking sand on epoxy resin-impregnated textile and adding short fiber into the concrete are helpful to improve their mechanical performance. The 2-3 mm cover thickness is enough to meet the anchorage requirements of the reinforcement fiber and the component has good crack pattern and mechanical behavior at this condition. Comparison between the calculated and the experimental Values of flexural capacity reveals satisfactory agreement. Finally, based on the calculation model of the crack spacing of reinforced concrete structures, the crack extension of this thin-wall component was qualitatively analyzed and the same results with the experimental were obtained.展开更多

文摘Oxide melt growth ceramics(OMGCs)exhibit excellent performance and microstructure stability near their melt-ing point and are expected to become a new structural material for long-term stable service in extremely high-temperature water-oxygen environments.Owing to its unique advantages of high efficiency,flexible manufac-turing,and near-net shaping,laser directed energy deposition(LDED)has become a promising technology for the rapid preparation of high-performance OMGCs.However,owing to the limited understanding of the crack-ing mechanism,the severe cracking problem that hinders OMGCs-LDED towards engineering applications has not been resolved.Alumina/aluminum titanate(Al_(2)O_(3)/Al_(x)Ti_(y)O_(z),A/AT)ceramics are prepared using an LDED system and their cracking characteristics are investigated.Subsequently,numerical simulations are conducted to reveal the dominant factors and influencing mechanisms of the cracking behavior.The results demonstrate that the cracking nucleation process is mainly controlled by solidification defects,whereas the cracking propagation process is determined primarily by both the microstructure and stress level.This study provides a theoretical basis for the development of appropriate cracking suppression methods for OMGCs-LDED.
文摘The Internet has penetrated all aspects of human society and has promoted social progress.Cyber-crimes in many forms are commonplace and are dangerous to society and national security.Cybersecurity has become a major concern for citizens and governments.The Internet functions and software applications play a vital role in cybersecurity research and practice.Most of the cyber-attacks are based on exploits in system or application software.It is of utmost urgency to investigate software security problems.The demand for Wi-Fi applications is proliferating but the security problem is growing,requiring an optimal solution from researchers.To overcome the shortcomings of the wired equivalent privacy(WEP)algorithm,the existing literature proposed security schemes forWi-Fi protected access(WPA)/WPA2.However,in practical applications,the WPA/WPA2 scheme still has some weaknesses that attackers exploit.To destroy a WPA/WPA2 security,it is necessary to get a PSK pre-shared key in pre-shared key mode,or an MSK master session key in the authentication mode.Brute-force cracking attacks can get a phase-shift keying(PSK)or a minimum shift keying(MSK).In real-world applications,many wireless local area networks(LANs)use the pre-shared key mode.Therefore,brute-force cracking of WPA/WPA2-PSK is important in that context.This article proposes a new mechanism to crack theWi-Fi password using a graphical processing unit(GPU)and enhances the efficiency through parallel computing of multiple GPU chips.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and provides a procedure to enhance the security of Wi-Fi networks.

文摘The additive manufacturing(AM)of Ni-based superalloys has attracted extensive interest from both academia and industry due to its unique capabilities to fabricate complex and high-performance components for use in high-end industrial systems.However,the intense temperature gradient induced by the rapid heating and cooling processes of AM can generate high levels of residual stress and metastable chemical and structural states,inevitably leading to severe metallurgical defects in Ni-based superalloys.Cracks are the greatest threat to these materials’integrity as they can rapidly propagate and thereby cause sudden and non-predictable failure.Consequently,there is a need for a deeper understanding of residual stress and cracking mechanisms in additively manufactured Ni-based superalloys and ways to potentially prevent cracking,as this knowledge will enable the wider application of these unique materials.To this end,this paper comprehensively reviews the residual stress and the various mechanisms of crack formation in Ni-based superalloys during AM.In addition,several common methods for inhibiting crack formation are presented to assist the research community to develop methods for the fabrication of crack-free additively manufactured components.

文摘Vibration-assisted grinding is one of the most promising technologies for manufacturing optical components due to its efficiency and quality advantages.However,the damage and crack propagation mechanisms of materials in vibration-assisted grinding are not well understood.In order to elucidate the mechanism of abrasive scratching during vibration-assisted grinding,a kinematic model of vibration scratching was developed.The influence of process parameters on the evolution of vibration scratches to indentation or straight scratches is revealed by displacement metrics and velocity metrics.Indentation,scratch and vibration scratch experiments were performed on quartz glass,and the results showed that the vibration scratch cracks are a combination of indentation cracks and scratch cracks.Vibration scratch cracks change from indentation cracks to scratch cracks as the indenter moves from the entrance to the exit of the workpiece or as the vibration frequency changes from high to low.A vertical vibration scratch stress field model is established for the first time,which reveals that the maximum principal stress and tensile stress distribution is the fundamental cause for inducing the transformation of the vibration scratch cracking system.This model provides a theoretical basis for understanding of the mechanism of material damage and crack propagation during vibration-assisted grinding.

文摘Local melting and the eutectic film and liquation crack formation mechanisms during friction spot weld- ing （FSpW） of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy were studied by both experiment and finite element simulation. Their effects on mechanical properties of the joint were examined. When the welding heat input was high, the peak temperature in the stir zone was higher than the incipient melting temperature of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy. This resulted in local melting along the grain boundaries in this zone. In the retreating stage of the welding process, the formed liquid phase was driven by the flowing plastic material and redistributed as a ＂U-shaped＂ line in the stir zone. In the following cooling stage, this liquid phase transformed into eutectic films and liquation cracks. As a result, a new characteristic of＂U＂ line that consisted of eutectic films and liquation cracks is formed in the FSpWjoin. This ＂U＂ line was located in the high stress region when the FSpW joint was loaded, thus it was adverse to the mechanical properties of the FSpW joint. During tensile shear tests, the ＂U＂ line became a preferred crack propagation path, resulting in the occurrence of brittle fracture.

文摘In this study,Al–4Cu alloy specimens with spherical grains and liquid flms were obtained by isothermal reheating treatment.The hot cracking of the solidifcation process was determined using a modifed constrained rod casting experimental apparatus,and the efect of liquid flm characteristics at the end of solidifcation on hot cracking initiation of Al–4Cu alloys was systematically investigated by combining molecular dynamics simulations and other methods.With the extension of soaking time,the liquid fraction(liquid flm fraction at the end of solidifcation)and grain shape factor increased with higher isothermal reheating temperatures.Additionally,the widened flling channel decreased the hot cracking initiation temperature and the critical hot cracking shrinkage stress was found to increase,thus reducing the hot cracking severity in Al–4Cu alloys.Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that with the extension of soaking time,the composition of the liquid flm changed at diferent isothermal reheating temperatures,but the short-range structure and atomic ordering of the liquid flm remained the same.The activity of the liquid flm increased in equilibrium,leading to a decrease in viscosity and an increase in fuidity,which contributed to the flling behaviour.After isothermal reheating at 640℃for 60 min,the liquid fraction reached the maximum,and the viscosity of the liquid flm was the minimum.In addition,almost no hot cracks were found.

文摘Unconventional resources (oil, gas, and geothermal) are often buried deep underground within dense rock strata and complex geological structures, making it increasingly difficult to create volumetric fractures through conventional hydraulic fracturing. This paper introduces a novel method of supercritical energetic fluid thermal shock fracturing. It pioneers a CO_(2) deflagration impact triaxial pneumatic fracturing experimental system, using high-strength similar materials to simulate deep, hard rock masses. The study investigates the rock-breaking process and crack propagation patterns under supercritical CO_(2) thermal shock, revealing and discussing the types of thermal shock-induced fractures, their formation conditions, and discrimination criteria. The research indicates that higher supercritical CO_(2) thermal shock pressures and faster pressure release rates facilitate the formation of radial branching fractures, circumferential cracks, and branch cracks. Typically, CO_(2) thermal shock generates 3–5 radial main cracks, which is significantly more than the single main crack formed by hydraulic fracturing. The formation of branched cracks is often caused by compression-shear failure and occurs under relatively harsh conditions, determined by the confining pressure, rock properties, peak thermal shock pressure, and the pressure sustained post-decompression. The findings are expected to offer a safe, efficient, and controllable shockwave method of supercritical fluid thermal shock fracturing for the exploitation of deep unconventional oil and gas resources.

文摘Softening of soft red-bed rocks subjected to rainfall-evaporation cycles is commonly characterized by rapid disintegration and is often accompanied by cracking,resulting in degradation of the mechanical properties of the rock,which can lead to slope instability or rockfalls.The microstructural changes in soft red-bed rocks after immersion were imaged,and two-dimensional(2D)images of cracks under water absorption-evaporation conditions were obtained.The dynamics,fractal characteristics,and geometry of the cracks were analyzed using digital image processing and analysis based on morphological algorithms.The results indicate that the faceeface particle bonds become pointeface bonds with numerous micropores with sizes of 1-5 mm.The evolution of cracks generated after water absorption can be divided into four stages:edge crack initiation,crack propagation,crack coalescence forming the main crack,and subcrack segmentation.The evolution of the dynamic characteristics of cracks during water absorption and drying cycles can be effectively described by the crack intensity factor,crack density,and average width.The fractal dimension increases to a stable value with increasing soaking time,whereas drying increases the crack complexity,resulting in fractal dimensions ranging from 1.106 to 1.126.The geometry results indicate that the crack directions are mainly at angles of 30°-70°after soaking and primarily in the range of 50°-60°after 10 drying cycles.The transition of the crack intersection angle from a bimodal to a unimodal distribution suggests that water absorption and drying processes tend to form Y-shaped and T-shaped cracks,respectively.Finally,the evolution of the watererock interface induced by particle dissolution,ion exchange,expansion force,and liquid surface tensionwas used to explain the mechanism of crack evolution related to water entry and evaporation.These results provide a theoretical basis for evaluating the cracking behavior of soft red-bed rocks.

文摘Textile reinforced concrete （TRC） is especially suitable for the thin-walled and light-weight structural elements with a high load-bearing capacity. For this thin element, the concrete cover thickness is an important factor in affecting the mechanical and anti-crack performance. Therefore, the influences of the surface treatment of the textile and mixing polypropylene fiber into the concrete on the properties of the components with different cover thickness were experimentally studied with four-point bending tests. The experimental results show that for the components with the same cover thickness, sticking sand on epoxy resin-impregnated textile and adding short fiber into the concrete are helpful to improve their mechanical performance. The 2-3 mm cover thickness is enough to meet the anchorage requirements of the reinforcement fiber and the component has good crack pattern and mechanical behavior at this condition. Comparison between the calculated and the experimental Values of flexural capacity reveals satisfactory agreement. Finally, based on the calculation model of the crack spacing of reinforced concrete structures, the crack extension of this thin-wall component was qualitatively analyzed and the same results with the experimental were obtained.

文摘When the traditional drill and blast method is applied to rock crushing projects,it has strong vibration,loud noise and dust pollution,so it cannot be used in densely populated areas such as urban public works.We developed a supercritical CO_(2)true triaxial pneumatic rock-breaking experimental system,and conducted laboratory and field tests of dry ice powder pneumatic rock-breaking.The characteristics of the blast-induced vibration velocity waveform and the evolution of the vibration velocity and frequency with the focal distance were analyzed and discussed.The fracturing mechanism of dry ice powder pneumatic rock breaking is studied.The research results show that:(1)The vibration velocity induced by dry ice powder pneumatic rock breaking decays as a power function with the increase of the focal distance;(2)The vibration frequency caused by dry ice powder pneumatic rock breaking is mainly distributed in 1–120 Hz.Due to the dispersion effect,the dominant frequency of 10–30 Hz appears abnormally attenuated;(3)The traditional CO_(2)phase change fracturing energy calculation formula is also applicable to dry ice pneumatic rock breaking technology,and the trinitrotoluene(TNT)equivalent of fracturing energy is applicable to the Sadovsky formula;(4)Dry ice powder pneumatic rock breaking is shock wave and highenergy gas acting together to fracture rock,which can be divided into three stages,among which the gas wedge action of high-energy gas plays a dominant role in rock mass damage.

文摘Nickel-based superalloys(Haynes 230)fabricated by laser powder bed fusion suffer from high cracking suscepti-bility,leading to a decrease in mechanical performance.In this study,the cracking mechanism of Haynes 230 was investigated based on microstructural and thermodynamic calculations.It was found that C and carbide-forming elements(such as Mo and Cr)were segregated at the grain boundaries,which increased the solidification range and impeded liquid film backfalling by forming nano-carbides.Additionally,the coalescence of high-angle grain boundaries(>15°)requires a higher undercoolingΔT_(b)than that of low-angle grain boundaries(2-15°),which increases the susceptibility to hot cracking.Through gradually reducing laser energy input,the grain size is sig-nificantly decreased from 27.86μm(47.40 J/mm^(3))to 14.66μm(31.81 J/mm^(3)).Moreover,the calculated cooling rate|dT∕dt|and temperature gradient|dT∕ds|gradually increase with decreasing energy input,which reduces the duration of dendrite merging and shortens the length of the liquid film.Compared with cracked samples,the optimized sample showed superior mechanical properties,including high yield strength(678 MPa),ultimate tensile strength(943 MPa),and elongation to failure(19.2%),which increased by 16.1%,9.7%,and 77.7%,respectively.
文摘Regarding quality inspection of technologically important nanocomposite hard coatings based on Ti,B,Si,C,and N and bioceramics such as hydroxyapatite that are used in small-scale high-precision devices and bio-implants,it is essential to study the failure mechanisms associated with nanoindentation,such as fracture,delamination,and chipping.The stress imposed by the indenter can affect the fracture morphology and the interfacial fracture energy,depending on indenter shape,substrate type,crystallographic properties,pre-existing flaws,internal microcracks,and pre-strain.Reported here are finite-element-based fracture studies that provide insights into the different cracking mechanisms related to the aforementioned failure process,showing that the fracture morphology is affected by the interaction of different cracking events.The interfacial fracture energy,toughness,and residual stress are calculated using existing models with minor adjustments,and it is found that increasing the indenter sharpness improves the shear stress distribution,making the coating more prone to separation.Depending on the prevailing type of stress,the stress distribution beneath the depression results in either crack formation or a dislocation pile-up leading to strain hardening.Different forms of resistances resulting from the indentation process are found to affect the tip–sample conduction,and because of its stronger induced plasticity than that of a Berkovich indenter tip,a sharper cube-corner tip produces more resistance.

文摘The strength-ductility inversion relationship of alloys is a persistent challenge in advanced materials design.Al-Cu series cast aluminum alloys that are considered as an exceptionally high-strength light alloy are not exclusive in structural applications due to their inherently poor plasticity.In this work,we employed a squeeze casting technique and Ca microalloying strategy for microstructure modulation to effectively address this difficulty.The addition of low concentrations of Ca(0.5 wt.%and 1 wt.%)elements to the as-cast Al-5Cu-0.5Mn alloy significantly enhances its plasticity by threefold at room temperature.Unexpectedly,even after T6 treatment,which typically compromises ductility for increased strength,the low-Ca micro-alloyed Al-5Cu-0.5Mn exhibited a further increase in its strength without sacrificing its ductility.The low-Ca addition to the alloy generates an ultrafine eutectic colony with a complex"coreshell"structure,which can serve as a carrier for localized stress transfer,effectively distributing the strain uniformly to more grains.Precipitation hardening of α-Al grains and spheroidization of lamellar ultrafine eutectic phases were simultaneously realized in the low-Ca alloy after T6 heat treatment,which resulted in comparable hardness of α-Al grains and eutectic colonies.The synergistic coordination of external strains through extensive strain-hardening induced by slip line and substantial microcrack generation by ultrafine eutectic colonies is evidenced by a series of in situ characterizations of the low-Ca alloys.Therefore,the uniform spreading deformation due to the transfer of strain-hardening effect and the alternating plastic deformation of α-Al grains and ultrafine eutectic colonies are the critical keys to overcoming the strength-plasticity paradox in low-Ca alloys.This study provides a perspective route for Al-Cu system cast aluminum alloys to be utilized as high-strength and tough structural materials.

文摘According to the distribution of abutment stress in a stope,this research established the mechanical model of mining abutment pressure transmission in floor base on the theory of semi-infnite plate body in elasticity.This study takes the 762 working face of Haizi Coal Mine as a case in point,and analyzed the dynamic evolution law of seam floor stress during the mining process.With an organic combination of the mining floor stress and surrounding rock stress,the study obtained the change laws of the maximum principle stress and the minimum one for the floor roadway surrounding rock when mining the upper working face.Considering the non-constant pressure force state and the cracks revolution mechanisms of floor roadway surrounding rock,the research built the mechanical model of roadway stress.Simulation results verify the reliability of the above conclusions.Moreover,this model could provide the theoretical basis and technical support for controlling floor roadway surrounding rock.

文摘To provide insights into deforming Ce-O-S-Al inclusions in steels and improving the mechanical properties,the evolution process of such harmful inclusions in clean steels was investigated by thermodynamic calculation,metallographic examination and first-principles calculation in this paper.For the tested IF steel,the thermodynamic analysis results are consistent with the calculated formation enthalpy.After Ce addition,the inclusions are transformed from Al_(2)O_(3)and TiN-Al_(2)TiO_(5)-Al_(2)O_(3)to Ce2O_(3),Ce_(2)O_(2)S,CeAlO_(3),TiN-Al_(2)TiO_(5)-Ce_(2)O_(3)and TiN-Al_(2)TiO_(5)-Ce_(2)O_(2)S composite inclusions,which can be confirmed by metallographic examination.The elastic constants were calculated,and the bulk modulus,Young's modulus,shear modulus and Poisson's ratio were evaluated by the Voigt-Reuss-Hill(VRH)approximation.All inclusions except Ce_(2)O_(3)show apparent brittleness.TiN,Al_(2)O_(3),Al_(2)TiO_(5)and CeAlO_(3)present much higher hardness than iron matrix,while the hardness of Ce2O_(3)or Ce_(2)O_(2)S is close to that of iron matrix.The thermal expansion coefficients of Ce_(2)O_(3)and CeAlO_(3)are close to that of iron matrix,whereas,Ce_(2)O_(2)S inclusion has largely different thermal expansion coefficient from iron matrix and may deteriorate the steel performance at higher temperatures.The relatively small differences between Ce inclusions and iron matrix in terms of hardness,toughness,brittleness,and thermal expansion coefficient can explain the improvement of the mechanical properties of the tested steel.
