This paper investigates the effect of heat treatment on residual stresses induced in AISI 1025, manufactured using LENS. Finite element model was developed and simulated to analyze residual stress development. AISI 1025 samples suitable for tool and die applications in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) filament production, were fabricated using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process, followed by heat treatment where annealing and quenching processes were done. The material’s microstructure, residual stress and hardness of heat-treated samples under investigation, were compared against the as-built samples. The results indicated that after annealing, tensile residual stresses were reduced by 93%, resulting in a reduced crack growth rate, compared to the as-built sample, although the hardness was reduced significantly by 25%. On the other hand, high tensile residual stresses of 425 ± 14 MPa were recorded after quenching process with an improvement of hardness by 21%.展开更多

文摘Bedding parallel stepped rock slopes exist widely in nature and are used in slope engineering.They are characterized by complex topography and geological structure and are vulnerable to shattering under strong earthquakes.However,no previous studies have assessed the mechanisms underlying seismic failure in rock slopes.In this study,large-scale shaking table tests and numerical simulations were conducted to delineate the seismic failure mechanism in terms of acceleration,displacement,and earth pressure responses combined with shattering failure phenomena.The results reveal that acceleration response mutations usually occur within weak interlayers owing to their inferior performance,and these mutations may transform into potential sliding surfaces,thereby intensifying the nonlinear seismic response characteristics.Cumulative permanent displacements at the internal corners of the berms can induce quasi-rigid displacements at the external corners,leading to greater permanent displacements at the internal corners.Therefore,the internal corners are identified as the most susceptible parts of the slope.In addition,the concept of baseline offset was utilized to explain the mechanism of earth pressure responses,and the result indicates that residual earth pressures at the internal corners play a dominant role in causing deformation or shattering damage.Four evolutionary deformation phases characterize the processes of seismic responses and shattering failure of the bedding parallel stepped rock slope,i.e.the formation of tensile cracks at the internal corners of the berm,expansion of tensile cracks and bedding surface dislocation,development of vertical tensile cracks at the rear edge,and rock mass slipping leading to slope instability.Overall,this study provides a scientific basis for the seismic design of engineering slopes and offers valuable insights for further studies on preventing seismic disasters in bedding parallel stepped rock slopes.

文摘The graded density impactor(GDI)dynamic loading technique is crucial for acquiring the dynamic physical property parameters of materials used in weapons.The accuracy and timeliness of GDI structural design are key to achieving controllable stress-strain rate loading.In this study,we have,for the first time,combined one-dimensional fluid computational software with machine learning methods.We first elucidated the mechanisms by which GDI structures control stress and strain rates.Subsequently,we constructed a machine learning model to create a structure-property response surface.The results show that altering the loading velocity and interlayer thickness has a pronounced regulatory effect on stress and strain rates.In contrast,the impedance distribution index and target thickness have less significant effects on stress regulation,although there is a matching relationship between target thickness and interlayer thickness.Compared with traditional design methods,the machine learning approach offers a10^(4)—10^(5)times increase in efficiency and the potential to achieve a global optimum,holding promise for guiding the design of GDI.

文摘Deeply buried mountain tunnels are often exposed to the risk of rock bursts,which always cause serious damage to the supporting structures and threaten the safety of the engineers.Due to the limited data available,a suitable approach to predict the rockburst tendency at the preliminary stage becomes very important.In this study,an integrated methodology combining 3D initial stress inversion and rockburst tendency prediction was developed and subsequently applied to a case study of the Sangzhuling Tunnel on the Sichuan–Tibet Railway.The numerical modelling involved inverting the initial stress field using a multiple linear regression method.The tunnel excavation was simulated separately by FDM and DEM,based on a stress boundary condition from the inverted stress field.The comparative analysis demonstrates that the rockburst ratio calculated using DEM(76.70%)exhibits a slight increase compared to FDM(75.38%),and the rockburst location is consistent with the actual situation.This suggests that DEM is more suitable for simulating the stress redistribution during excavation in a jointed rock mass.The numerical simulation combined with the deviatoric stress approach effectively predicts rockburst tendency,meeting the engineering requirements.Despite its limitations,numerical simulation remains a reliable method for predicting rock bursts.

文摘To further reduce the explosive thickness and to improve the bonding quality of titanium/steel composite plates,explosive welding experiments of TA1/Q235 were conducted using a low detonation velocity explosive(53#)under the guidance of the explosive welding lower limit principle with the flyer plate thicknesses of 1,2,and 4 mm and gaps of 3,6,and 8 mm.The weldability window for titanium/steel explosive welding was calculated,and a quantitative relationship between dynamic and static process parameters was developed.Aβ-V_(p) high-speed inclined collision model was proposed,and two-dimensional numerical simulations for the explosive welding tests were performed using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH)algorithm,revealing the growth evolution mechanisms of the typical waveform morphology characteristics.Through microstructural characterization techniques,such as optical microscope,scanning electron microscope,energy dispersive spectrometer,and electron backscattered diffractometer,and mechanical property tests in terms of shear strength,bending performance,and impact toughness,the microstructure and mechanical properties of the interfaces of explosively welded TA1/Q235 composite plates were investigated.Results show that the quality of interface bonding is excellent,presenting typical waveform morphology with an average interface shear strength above 330 MPa and an average impact toughness exceeding 81 J.All samples can be bent to 180°without significant delamination or cracking defects.

文摘A suction casting experiment was conducted on Zr_(55)Cu_(30)Al_(10)Ni_(5)(at%)amorphous alloy.Using ProCAST software,numerical simulations were performed to analyze the filling and solidification processes.The velocity field during the filling process and the temperature field during the solidification process of the alloy melt under different process parameters were obtained.Based on the simulation results,a Zr-based amorphous alloy micro-gear was prepared via casting.The results indicate that increasing the suction casting temperature enhances the fluidity of alloy melt but induces unstable flow rate during filling,which is detrimental to complete filling.Zr-based amorphous micro-gears with a module of 0.6 mm,a tooth top diameter of 8 mm,and 10 teeth were prepared through the suction casting.X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry analyses confirm that the fabricated micro-gear exhibits characteristic amorphous structural features,demonstrating well-defined geometrical contours and satisfactory forming completeness.

文摘We proposed a new technique route of directional solidification for the manufacture of super slab.A 7-t laboratory-scale thick slab was casted and characterised for trial.To further understand the process,the evolution of the multiple physical fields during the directional solidification was simulated and verified.Similar to the convectional ingot casting,a negative segregated cone of equiaxed grains was formed at the bottom,and a seriously positive segregated region was formed beneath the top surface of the slab.Specific measures on the lateral walls,base plate,and free surface were strongly recommended to ensure that the slab is relatively directionally casted.A water-cooling copper base plate accelerates the solidification rate and the columnar growth along the vertical direction.It inhibits the sedimentation of equiaxed grains and enlarges the columnar zone.Based on the simulation analysis,it can be concluded that the directional solidification technique route is promising to manufacture super slab with lower segregation level,and less porosities and inclusions.

文摘To elucidate the influence of confining pressure on microcrack evolution and macroscopic failure mechanisms in granite,a multi-perspective approach was adopted.This approach combined triaxial compression tests,acoustic emission(AE)monitoring,and PFC simulations.The results show that:1)Confining pressure exhibits a pronounced linear correlation with both yield strength and compressive strength.The enhancement of confining pressure significantly improves the deformability of granite and promotes a progressive shift in failure mechanism from brittle rupture to ductile deformation;2)Increasing confining pressure elevates the stress threshold for microcrack initiation and suppresses crack propagation.As a result,the proportion of shear cracks increases(based on AE analysis)from 18.71%to 61.2%,marking a transition in the dominant failure mode from tensile to shear;3)Confining pressure facilitates the development of grain boundary shear cracks(GBSCs),establishing the primary damage pathways.In addition,local stress concentrations under high confinement conditions trigger intragranular cracking.This highlights the regulatory effect of confining pressure on microcrack evolution.

文摘Natural gas hydrate widely exists in the South China Sea as clean energy.A three-phase transition layer widely exists in low permeability Class I hydrates in the Shenhu offshore area.Therefore,taking into account the low-permeability characteristics with an average permeability of 5.5 mD and moderate heterogeneity,a 3-D geological model of heterogeneous Class I hydrate reservoirs with three-phase transition layers is established by Kriging interpolation and stochastic modeling method,and a numerical simulation model is used to describe the depressurization production performance of the reservoir.With the development of depressurization,a specific range of complete decomposition zones appear both in the hydrate and transition layers.The entire decomposition zone of the whole reservoir tends to outward and upward diffusion.There is apparent methane escape in the three-phase transition layer.Due to the improvement of local permeability caused by the phase transition of hydrate dissociation,some methane accumulation occurs at the bottom of the hydrate layer,forming a local methane enrichment zone.The methane migration trends in reservoirs are mainly characterized by movement toward production wells and hydrate layers under the influence of gravity.However,due to the permeability limitation of hydrate reservoirs,many fluids have not been effectively produced and remain in the reservoir.Therefore,to improve the effective pressure drop of the reservoir,the perforation method and pressure reduction method were optimized by analyzing the influencing factors based on the gas production rate.The comparative study demonstrates that perforating through the free gas layer combined with one-time depressurization can enhance the effective depressurization and improve production performance.The gas production rate from perforating through the free gas layer can be twice as high as that from perforating through the transition layer.This study can provide theoretical support for the utilization of marine energy.

文摘In this study,a new linear friction welding(LFW)process,embedded LFW process,was put forward,which was mainly applied to combination manufacturing of long or overlong loadcarrying titanium alloy structural components in aircraft.The interfacial plastic flow behavior and bonding mechanism of this process were investigated by a developed coupling EulerianLagrangian numerical model using software ABAQUS and a novel thermo-physical simulation method with designed embedded hot compression specimen.In addition,the formation mechanism and control method of welding defects caused by uneven plastic flow were discussed.The results reveal that the plastic flow along oscillating direction of this process is even and sufficient.In the direction perpendicular to oscillation,thermo-plastic metals mainly flow downward along welding interface under coupling of shear stress and interfacial pressure,resulting in the interfacial plastic zone shown as an inverted“V”shape.The upward plastic flow in this direction is relatively weak,and only a small amount of flash is extruded from top of joint.Moreover,the wedge block and welding components at top of joint are always in un-steady friction stage,leading to nonuniform temperature field distribution and un-welded defects.According to the results of numerical simulation,high oscillating frequency combined with low pressure and small amplitude is considered as appropriate parameter selection scheme to improve the upward interfacial plastic flow at top of joint and suppress the un-welded defects.The results of thermo-physical simulation illustrate that continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX)induces the bonding of interface,accompanying by intense dislocation movement and creation of many low-angle grain boundaries.In the interfacial bonding area,grain orientation is random with relatively low texture density(5.0 mud)owing to CDRX.

文摘Shale gas reservoirs have large burial depths,thin thickness,and low resistance,which lead to problems with weak surface observation,abnormal information,and multiple inversion solutions.The traditional electromagnetic method cannot effectively identify information from deep,low-resistance thin layers in terms of detection depth and accuracy.Wide field electromagnetic method(WFEM)with large depth and high precision has become the main method for deep earth exploration.This method has been widely used in the exploration of deep oil and gas energy,as well as mineral resources.However,an in-depth analysis of the various factors that affect the deep detection ability of WFEM is lacking.Therefore,the analysis of system parameters has significant theoretical importance and practical value for studying the effectiveness of WFEM in deep-layer identification.In this study,a multilayer geoelectric model is established in this study using the measured well data.The influence characteristics of different observation system parameters on the resolution of specific deep-seated targets under the WFEM_E-Ex mode are analyzed in detail through forward modeling and inversion.Results show that the resolution ability of WFEM for deep,low-resistance thin layers is affected by factors such as transceiver distance,target layer thickness,and resistivity difference between the target body and the surrounding rock,but the influence range differs.This study analyzes the influence characteristics of various system parameters.It provides targeted work scheme design and feasibility analysis for deep shale gas exploration.It also offers an important theoretical basis for optimizing construction schemes and improving the recognition ability of WFEM for deep,low-resistance targets.
文摘Heat treatment processes, such as annealing and quenching, are crucial in determining residual stress evolution, microstructural changes and mechanical properties of metallic materials, with residual stresses playing a greater role in the performance of components. This paper investigates the effect of heat treatment on residual stresses induced in AISI 1025, manufactured using LENS. Finite element model was developed and simulated to analyze residual stress development. AISI 1025 samples suitable for tool and die applications in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) filament production, were fabricated using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process, followed by heat treatment where annealing and quenching processes were done. The material’s microstructure, residual stress and hardness of heat-treated samples under investigation, were compared against the as-built samples. The results indicated that after annealing, tensile residual stresses were reduced by 93%, resulting in a reduced crack growth rate, compared to the as-built sample, although the hardness was reduced significantly by 25%. On the other hand, high tensile residual stresses of 425 ± 14 MPa were recorded after quenching process with an improvement of hardness by 21%.
