It consists of a low inductance capacitor bank of 2 μF–4 μF typically charged to 8 kV–30 kV, a triggered gas switch, and a production chamber housing the exploding wire load and ambient gas. With the EEW device, nanosize powders of titanium oxides, titanium nitrides, copper oxides, and zinc oxides are successfully synthesized. The average particle size of synthesized powders under different experimental conditions is in a range of 20nm–80nm. The pressure of ambient gas or wire vapor can strongly affect the average particle size. The lower the pressure, the smaller the particle size is. For wire material with relatively high resistivity, such as titanium, whose deposited energy Wd is often less than sublimation energy W s due to the flashover breakdown along the wire prematurely ending the Joule heating process, the synthesized particle size of titanium oxides or titanium nitrides increases with overheat coefficient k （k = W d /Ws ） increasing.展开更多

It is proved that cutting regularity is greatly affected by cooling liquid＇s washing ability. Discharge characteristics and theoretic analysis between two electrodes are also discussed based on discharge waveform. By using composite cooling liquid which has strong washing ability, the efficiency in the first stable cutting phase has reached more than 200 mm^2/min, and the roughness of the surface has reached Ra〈0.8 μm after the fourth cutting with more than 50 mm^2/min average cutting efficiency. It is pointed out that cutting situation of the wire cut electrical discharge machine with high wire traveling speed （HSWEDM） is better than the wire cut electrical discharge machine with low wire traveling speed （LSWEDM） in the condition of improving the cooling liquid washing ability. The machining indices of HSWEDM will be increased remarkably by using the composite cooling liquid.展开更多

However, traditional machining of SMAs is quite complex due to these properties. Hence, the wire electric discharge machining（WEDM） characteristics of Ti Ni SMA was studied. The experiments were planned as per L27 orthogonal array to minimize the experiments, each experiment was performed under different conditions of pulse duration, pulse off time, servo voltage, flushing pressure and wire speed. A multi-response optimization method using Taguchi design with utility concept has been proposed for simultaneous optimization. The analysis of means（ANOM） and analysis of variance（ANOVA） on signal to noise（S/N） ratio were performed for determining the optimal parameter levels. Taguchi analysis reveals that a combination of 1 μs pulse duration, 3.8 μs pulse off time, 40 V servo voltage, 1.8×105 Pa flushing pressure and 8 m/min wire speed is beneficial for simultaneously maximizing the material removal rate（MRR） and minimizing the surface roughness. The optimization results of WEDM of Ti Ni SMA also indicate that pulse duration significantly affects the material removal rate and surface roughness. The discharged craters, micro cracks and recast layer were observed on the machined surface at large pulse duration.展开更多

The microstructure of the machined composite was characterized by scanning electron microscope, the average surface roughness（Ra）, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy（TEM） techniques. Three zones from the surface to the interior（melting zone, heat affected zone and un-affected zone） were found in the machined composites, while the face of SiC particles on the surface toward the outside was ‘‘cut＇＇ to be flat. Increase in Al and Si but decrease in C and O were observed in the core areas of the removed particles. Si phase, which was generated due to the decomposition of SiC, was detected after the WEDM process. The irregular and spherical particles were further observed by TEM. Based on the microstructure observation, it is suggested that the machining mechanism of 65 vol% SiCp/2024 Al composite was the combination of the melting of Al matrix and the decomposition of SiC particles.展开更多

Therefore, two kinds of electrical explosion devices with different electrodes by gas discharge were designed in this paper. The pole-board electrodes and the cone electrodes were used respectively for studying copper wire electrical explosion process. The current and voltage data were measured with the Rogowski coil and high voltage probe. The results show that the pulverizing process of electrical explosion is more efficient when the wire electrode current density injected into the cone electrodes is approximately twice as much as the pole-board electrodes. The content of micro-sized large particles is the least among the products of the electrical explosion, when the total deposition energy of the wire prior to vaporization stage is 2. 5 times larger than that of the theoretical value of the completed vaporization.展开更多

Models of post-traumatic epilepsy （PTE） were established by intracortical injection of FeCl2 using stereotactic techniques. Electron microscopy revealed neuronal degeneration, with shrinkage of the neuronal soma, hyperplasia of rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomal detachment from the endoplasmic reticulum, and vacuolar degeneration of glial cells in the right frontal lobe of FeCl2-induced PTE rats. With prolonged time injuries became more severe and neuronal apoptosis was observed. Synapses in the hippocampal neuropil significantly increased （primarily type I/excitatory synapses） at day 14 following injury. Type II synapses （inhibitory synapse） were observed in the rat hippocampus at day 30. Cortical neuronal degeneration, apoptosis, glial cell proliferation, and ultrastructural hippocampal changes, in particular changes in type of neuronal synapse, play an important role in PTE onset.展开更多

It consists of a low inductance capacitor bank of 2 μF–4 μF typically charged to 8 kV–30 kV, a triggered gas switch, and a production chamber housing the exploding wire load and ambient gas. With the EEW device, nanosize powders of titanium oxides, titanium nitrides, copper oxides, and zinc oxides are successfully synthesized. The average particle size of synthesized powders under different experimental conditions is in a range of 20nm–80nm. The pressure of ambient gas or wire vapor can strongly affect the average particle size. The lower the pressure, the smaller the particle size is. For wire material with relatively high resistivity, such as titanium, whose deposited energy Wd is often less than sublimation energy W s due to the flashover breakdown along the wire prematurely ending the Joule heating process, the synthesized particle size of titanium oxides or titanium nitrides increases with overheat coefficient k （k = W d /Ws ） increasing.

Models of post-traumatic epilepsy （PTE） were established by intracortical injection of FeCl2 using stereotactic techniques. Electron microscopy revealed neuronal degeneration, with shrinkage of the neuronal soma, hyperplasia of rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomal detachment from the endoplasmic reticulum, and vacuolar degeneration of glial cells in the right frontal lobe of FeCl2-induced PTE rats. With prolonged time injuries became more severe and neuronal apoptosis was observed. Synapses in the hippocampal neuropil significantly increased （primarily type I/excitatory synapses） at day 14 following injury. Type II synapses （inhibitory synapse） were observed in the rat hippocampus at day 30. Cortical neuronal degeneration, apoptosis, glial cell proliferation, and ultrastructural hippocampal changes, in particular changes in type of neuronal synapse, play an important role in PTE onset.

文摘A systematic numerical integration method is applied to the absolute nodal coordinate formulation(ANCF)fully parameterized beam element with smooth varying and continuous cross section.Moreover,the formulation for the integration points and weight coefficients are given in the method which is used to model the multilayer beam with a circular cross section.To negate the effect of the bending stiffness for the element used to model the high-voltage electrical wire,the general continuum mechanical approach is adjusted.Additionally,the insulation cover for some particular types of the wire is described by the nearly incompressible Mooney-Rivlin material model.Finally,a static problem is presented to prove the accuracy and convergence properties of the element,and a dynamic problem of a flexible pendulum is simulated whereby the balance of the energy can be ensured.An experiment is carried out in which a wire is released as a pendulum and falls on a steel rod.The configurations of the wire are captured by a high-speed camera and compared with the simulation results.The feasibility of the wire model can therefore be demonstrated.

文摘Machining performance of thin-walled components made by aeronautical difficult-toprocess materials is a significant issue in the aviation manufacturing industry.Although wire electric discharge machining-low speed(WEDM-LS)is one of typical non-contact machining processes without macro cutting force,which does well in removing hardness and brittleness materials via pulsed discharge at high temperature,but few researchers have studied the thermal distortion behavior leading to a considerable geometric error in the WEDM-LS of thin-walled components.In this paper,a transverse magnetic field assisted method is applied for affecting the uniformity of discharge point distribution so as to reduce the distortion in WEDM-LS processing thin-wall component.First,the generation mechanism of this new distortion behavior and the impact mechanism of transverse magnetic field(TMF)on distortion are demonstrated by theoretical analysis.In order to further figure out the distortion behavior in the TMF-WEDM process,a new thermophysical model considering the discharge point distribution is established to simulate temperature field,residual stress field and distortion profiles.Then a large number of Taguchi experiments are carried out to investigate the influences of process parameters including pulse discharge energy(pulse on time,pulse off time,and current)and magnetic field strength on distortion in WEDM-LS.To comparatively analyze simulated and experimental results,the accuracy of established thermophysical model is verified within a relative error of 18.38%in distortion.Moreover,it can be revealed that transverse magnetic field contribute to significantly improve the longitudinal distribution uniformity with maximum increase of 12.32%at magnetic field strength:0.15 T,leading to significant reductions of 32.77%in distortion and 22.68%in recast layer.Eventually,we also presented the variation of residual stress and recast layer along thickness direction under different distortion behavior,which are in good agreement with that of distortion behavior.
