Several other model-deduced results, are used to compare with that of the present study. The key role played by the shell effects in the v-preformation process is indicated in all these cases. In detail, the α-preformation factors of different theoretical extractions are found to have similar behavior for one given isotopic chain, implying the model-independent varying trend of the preformation probability of α particle. In addition, the formation probability of heavier particle in cluster radioactivity is also obtained, and this confirms the relationship between the cluster preformation factor and the product of the cluster and daughter proton numbers.展开更多

The results indicate that during the process of α particle preforming, the low lying nuclear isomeric states are similar to ground states. Meanwhile, in the framework of single nucleon energy level structure, we find that for nuclei with nucleon number below the magic numbers, the α preformation probabilities of high-spin states seem to be larger than low ones. For nuclei with nucleon number above the magic numbers, the α preformation probabilities of isomeric states are larger than those of ground states.展开更多

The calculated results show clearly that the shell effects play a key role in α particle preformation. The closer the proton and neutron numbers are to the magic numbers, the more difficult the formation of the α cluster inside the mother nucleus is. The preformation factors of the isotopes reflect that N=126 is a magic number for Po, Rn, Ra, and Th isotopes, but for U isotopes the weakening of the influence of the N=126 shell closure is evident. The trend of the factors for N=126 and N=128 isotones also support this conclusion. We extend the calculations for N=152, 162, 176, 184 isotones to explore the magic numbers for heavy and superheavy nuclei, which are probably present near Z=108 to N=152, 162 isotones and Z=116 to N=176, 184 isotones. The results also show that another subshell closure may exist after Z=124 in the superheavy nuclei. This is useful for future experiments.展开更多

The nuclei around the shell closure were more tightly bound than adjacent nuclei. Additionally, based on the WS4 mass model (Wang et al., Phys. Lett.B 734, 215 (2014)), we extended the two-potential approach to predict the α-decay half-lives of nuclei around N values of178 and 184 with Z of 119 and 120. We believe that our findings will serve as guidelines for future experimental studies.展开更多

New expressions that take into account the influences of equivalent effective strain distribution are developed to evaluate the homogeneity of deformation distribution in aerospace forgings. In order to reduce the number of design variables, the domain-division method is put forward to determine the optimal design variables. On the basis of FEM results, the RSM is used to establish an approximate model to depict the relationship between the responses （deformation homogeneity and die underfilling） and the design variables repre- sented by geometric parameters of the preform shape. With a typical aeroengine disk as an example, the proposed method is verified by achieving an optimal combination of design variables. By comparing the preform shape obtained with the proposed method to that with the existing one, it is evidenced that the former could achieve more homogeneous deformation in forging.展开更多

The final forging＇s shape and deformation uniformity were considered in the multiple objective. The objective is to optimize the shape and the deformation uniformity of the final forging at the same time so that a more high integrate quality of the final forging can be obtained. The total objective was assembled by the shape and uniformity objective using the weight adding method. The preform die shape is presented by cubic B-spline curves. The control points of B-spline curves are used as the design variables. The forms of the total objective function, shape and uniformity sub-objective function are given. The sensitivities of the total objective function and the sub-objective functions with respect to the design variables are developed. Using this method, the preform die shape of an H-shaped forging process is optimally designed. The optimization results are very satisfactory.展开更多

Ho...The cast preformed forming process(CPFP) is increasingly considered and applied in the metal forming industries due to its short process, low cost, and environmental friendliness, especially in the aerospace field. However, how to establish a unified model of a non-uniform as-cast billet depicting the flow stress and microstructure evolution behaviors during hot working is the key to microstructure prediction and parameter optimization of the CPFP. In this work, hot compression tests are performed using a non-uniform as-cast 42 CrMo billet at 1123–1423 K and 0.01–1sà1. The effect laws of the non-uniform state of the as-cast billet with different initial grain sizes on the flow stress and microstructure are revealed deeply. Based on experimental results, a unified model of flow stress and grain size evolutions is developed by the internal variable modeling method. Verified results show that the model can well describe the responses of the flow stress and microstructure to deformation conditions and initial grain sizes. To further evaluate its reliability, the unified model is applied to FE simulation of the cast preformed ring rolling process.The predictions of the rolling force and grain size indicate that it could well describe the flow stress and microstructure evolutions during the process.展开更多

The advantages, usages, shortages and disadvantages of 3D braided composites are analyzed, and the possible approach of improving the properties of the materials is presented, that is, a new type of 3D full 5-directional braided composites is developed. The methods of making this type of preform are proposed. It is pointed out that the four-step braiding which is the most possible to realize industrialized production almost has no effect on the composites＇ properties. By analyzing the simulation model,the advantages of the material compared with the 3D 4-directional and 5-directional materials are presented. Finally, a microstructural model is analyzed to lay the foundation for the future theoretical analysis of these composites.展开更多

The results show that the samples preform a characteristic of clusters spin-glass state at low temperature. The samples show a characteristic of ferromagnetism(FM) characteristic in the temperature range of 15-125 K and 15-150 K respectively; the samples show preformed clusters in the temperature range of 125-343 K and 150-325 K, respectively, the samples show paramagnetism(PM)characteristic above 343 and 325 K, respectively. The second-order transitions are found at 118 and 135 K for undoped and doped sample, respectively. When the applied magnetic field is 7 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change |△S_M| value of the samples is near the Curie temperature(Tc), and the value of|△S_M| reaches 2.76 and 3.03 J/(K kg), respectively. In addition, the relative cooling power(RCP) is found to be 425.28 and 443.53 J/kg. The numerical fitting data fit well with experimental data. These results indicate that both the samples have the potential to realize magnetic refrigeration in the high temperature region(T > 77 K).展开更多

The preformation factors of the isotopes reflect that N=126 is a magic number for Po, Rn, Ra, and Th isotopes, but for U isotopes the weakening of the influence of the N=126 shell closure is evident. The trend of the factors for N=126 and N=128 isotones also support this conclusion. We extend the calculations for N=152, 162, 176, 184 isotones to explore the magic numbers for heavy and superheavy nuclei, which are probably present near Z=108 to N=152, 162 isotones and Z=116 to N=176, 184 isotones. The results also show that another subshell closure may exist after Z=124 in the superheavy nuclei. This is useful for future experiments.

文摘In this study,we systematically investigate theαdecay preformation factors,Pα,and theαdecay half-lives of 152 nuclei around Z=82,N=126 closed shells based on the generalized liquid drop model(GLDM)with Pαbeing extracted from the ratio of the calculatedαdecay half-life to the experimental one.The results show that there is a remarkable linear relationship between Pαand the product of valance protons(holes)Np and valance neutrons(holes)Nn.At the same time,we extract theαdecay preformation factor values of the even–even nuclei around the Z=82,N=126 closed shells from the study of Sun et al.[J.Phys.G:Nucl.Part.Phys.,45:075106(2018)],in which theαdecay was calculated by two different microscopic formulas.We find that theαdecay preformation factors are also related to NpNn.Combining with our previous studies[Sun et al.,Phys.Rev.C,94:024338(2016);Deng et al.,ibid.96:024318(2017);Deng et al.,ibid.97:044322(2018)]and that of Seif et al.,[Phys.Rev.C,84:064608(2011)],we suspect that this phenomenon of linear relationship for the nuclei around the above closed shells is model-independent.This may be caused by the effect of the valence protons(holes)and valence neutrons(holes)around the shell closures.Finally,using the formula obtained by fitting theαdecay preformation factor data calculated by the GLDM,we calculate theαdecay half-lives of these nuclei.The calculated results agree with the experimental data well.

文摘In this contribution,the α preformation factors of 606 nuclei are extracted within the framework of the generalized liquid drop model(GLDM).Through the systematic analysis of the α preformation factors of even-even Po-U isotopes,we found that there is a significant weakening of influence of N=126 shell closure in uranium,which is consistent with the results of a recent experiment [J.Khuyagbaatar et al.,Phys.Rev.Lett.115,242502(2015)],implying that N=126 may not be the magic number for U isotopes.Furthermore,we propose an improved formula with only 7 parameters to calculate α preformation factors suitable for all types of α-decay;it has fewer parameters than the original formula proposed by Zhang et al.[H.F.Zhang et al.,Phys.Rev.C 80,057301(2009)]with higher precision.The standard deviation of the α preformation factors calculated by our formula with extracted values for all 606 nuclei is 0.365 with a factor of 2.3,indicating that our improved formula can accurately reproduce the α preformation factors.Encouraged by this,the α-decay half-lives of actinide elements are predicted,which could be useful in future experiments.Notably,the predicted α-decay half-lives of two new isotopes 220 Np [Z.Y.Zhang,et al.,Phys.Rev.Lett.122,192503(2019)] and 219 Np [H.B.Yang et al.,Phys.Lett.B 777,212(2018)] are in good agreement with the experimental α-decay half-lives.

文摘By combining experimental α-decay energies and half-lives, the α-particle preformation factor for nuclei around neutron magic numbers N of 126, 152, and 162 were extracted using the two-potential approach. The nuclei around the shell closure were more tightly bound than adjacent nuclei. Additionally, based on the WS4 mass model (Wang et al., Phys. Lett.B 734, 215 (2014)), we extended the two-potential approach to predict the α-decay half-lives of nuclei around N values of178 and 184 with Z of 119 and 120. We believe that our findings will serve as guidelines for future experimental studies.
文摘Re-crosslinkable preformed particle gel(RPPG)has been considered to be one of the most promising gels for dealing with fracture and void space conduit(VSC)conformance problems.However,the dehydration of RPPG during its propagation in the fracture-type features and its effect on gel properties remains unclear.This paper investigates the dehydration behavior during RPPG propagating in an open fracture using matrix-free fracture model.Then the results were verified using real fractured sandstone core model.Moreover,the gel properties after extruding a fracture were studied in detail including gel dehydration and gel strength.Results reveal that the RPPG properties changed significantly with increasing propagation distance,which correlated with the gel injection rate.At high gel injection rates,the dehydration and gel strength(Gʹ)decrease with increasing propagation distance.In contrast,the opposite result was found at low injection rates.Based on the study of the different gel injection rates,it is found that dehydration time is another key factor affecting dehydration behavior.Results also indicate that the fracture width affects gel dehydration at different locations.Dehydration was more pronounced at narrow fractures but only in the inlet section,while in the outlet section,RPPG contains more water than the initial condition.This study has profound implications for field applications.It provides new insights into the transport of RPPG in fractures and helps field engineers to optimize the gel injection operations.

文摘To understand the applicability of high-temperature preformed particle gel(HT-PPG)for control of short-circuiting in enhanced geothermal systems(EGSs),core flooding experiments were conducted on fractured granite cores under varying fracture widths,gel particle sizes and swelling ratios.Key parameters such as injection pressure,water breakthrough pressure,and residual resistance factor were measured to evaluate HT-PPG performance.The gel exhibited strong injectability,entering granite fractures at pressure gradients as low as 0.656 MPa/m;HT-PPG yields a superior sealing performance by significantly reducing the permeability;and dehydration occurs during HT-PPG propagation,with a dehydration ratio ranging from 4.71%to 11.36%.This study reveals that HT-PPG can be injected into geothermal formations with minimal pressure yet provides strong resistance to breakthrough once in place.This balance of injectability and sealing strength makes HT-PPG effective for addressing thermal short-circuiting in EGS reservoirs.

文摘During the automated placement process of dry fibers,the positioning and fixation of dry fiber gauze belts are achieved by spraying setting agents.The amount of the setting agent is difficult to control when it is sprayed manually.Furthermore,it can also affect the permeability of the preform,resin injection and the quality of the vacuum assisted resin infusion(VARI)molding,resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of composite materials.This study utilizes dry fiber automated placement equipment and an automated spraying system to manufacture preform structures,followed by VARI process to prepare composite samples with varying setting agent contents.Subsequently,mechanical characterization including interlaminar shear,bending and tensile testing is conducted to investigate the influence of setting agent content on both the manufacturing process and the mechanical properties of composite products.The results show that the interlaminar shear strength,bending strength and tensile strength of the sample gradually decrease with the increase of the content of the setting agent.The optimal setting agent content for automated laying of dry fiber is determined to be 4%-6%,balancing the preformed body’s layup quality and its impact on mechanical properties.Compared with agent-free samples,this range results in reductions of 3% in interlaminar shear strength,9% in bending strength,11% in bending modulus,and 13%-16% in tensile strength.
文摘This article, in order to improve the deformation homogeneity in aerospace forgings, proposes an approach that combines the fnite element method （FEM） and the response surface method （RSM） to optimize the preform shapes. New expressions that take into account the influences of equivalent effective strain distribution are developed to evaluate the homogeneity of deformation distribution in aerospace forgings. In order to reduce the number of design variables, the domain-division method is put forward to determine the optimal design variables. On the basis of FEM results, the RSM is used to establish an approximate model to depict the relationship between the responses （deformation homogeneity and die underfilling） and the design variables repre- sented by geometric parameters of the preform shape. With a typical aeroengine disk as an example, the proposed method is verified by achieving an optimal combination of design variables. By comparing the preform shape obtained with the proposed method to that with the existing one, it is evidenced that the former could achieve more homogeneous deformation in forging.

文摘C/C composites with banded structure pyrocarbon were fabricated by fast chemical vapor infiltration（CVI）,with C3H6 as carbon source,N2 as carrier gas,and three-dimensional（3D） 12K PAN-based carbon fabric with high density of 0.94 g/cm3 as preform.Experimental results indicated that the fracture characteristics of C/C composites were closely related to the frequency of high-temperature treatment（HTT） at the break of CVI process.According to the load？displacement curves,C/C composites showed a pseudoplastic fracture after twice of HTT.After three times of HTT,load？displacement curves tended to be stable with a decreasing bending strength at 177.5 MPa.Delamination failure and intrastratal fiber fracture were observed at the cross-section of C/C composites by scanning electronic microscope.Because the content of pyrocarbon and fibers has a different distribution in layers,the C/C composites show different fracture characteristics at various regions,which leads to good toughness and bending strength.

文摘The multiple objective preform design optimization was put forward. The final forging＇s shape and deformation uniformity were considered in the multiple objective. The objective is to optimize the shape and the deformation uniformity of the final forging at the same time so that a more high integrate quality of the final forging can be obtained. The total objective was assembled by the shape and uniformity objective using the weight adding method. The preform die shape is presented by cubic B-spline curves. The control points of B-spline curves are used as the design variables. The forms of the total objective function, shape and uniformity sub-objective function are given. The sensitivities of the total objective function and the sub-objective functions with respect to the design variables are developed. Using this method, the preform die shape of an H-shaped forging process is optimally designed. The optimization results are very satisfactory.

文摘The cast preformed forming process(CPFP) is increasingly considered and applied in the metal forming industries due to its short process, low cost, and environmental friendliness, especially in the aerospace field. However, how to establish a unified model of a non-uniform as-cast billet depicting the flow stress and microstructure evolution behaviors during hot working is the key to microstructure prediction and parameter optimization of the CPFP. In this work, hot compression tests are performed using a non-uniform as-cast 42 CrMo billet at 1123–1423 K and 0.01–1sà1. The effect laws of the non-uniform state of the as-cast billet with different initial grain sizes on the flow stress and microstructure are revealed deeply. Based on experimental results, a unified model of flow stress and grain size evolutions is developed by the internal variable modeling method. Verified results show that the model can well describe the responses of the flow stress and microstructure to deformation conditions and initial grain sizes. To further evaluate its reliability, the unified model is applied to FE simulation of the cast preformed ring rolling process.The predictions of the rolling force and grain size indicate that it could well describe the flow stress and microstructure evolutions during the process.
文摘Three-dimensional（3 D）braided composites are a kind of advanced ones and are used in the aeronautical and astronautical fields more widely. The advantages, usages, shortages and disadvantages of 3D braided composites are analyzed, and the possible approach of improving the properties of the materials is presented, that is, a new type of 3D full 5-directional braided composites is developed. The methods of making this type of preform are proposed. It is pointed out that the four-step braiding which is the most possible to realize industrialized production almost has no effect on the composites＇ properties. By analyzing the simulation model,the advantages of the material compared with the 3D 4-directional and 5-directional materials are presented. Finally, a microstructural model is analyzed to lay the foundation for the future theoretical analysis of these composites.

文摘Polycrystalline samples La_(0.9-x)EuxSr_(0.1)MnO_3(x = 0.000, 0.075) were prepared by the standard solid-state reaction method. The results show that the samples preform a characteristic of clusters spin-glass state at low temperature. The samples show a characteristic of ferromagnetism(FM) characteristic in the temperature range of 15-125 K and 15-150 K respectively; the samples show preformed clusters in the temperature range of 125-343 K and 150-325 K, respectively, the samples show paramagnetism(PM)characteristic above 343 and 325 K, respectively. The second-order transitions are found at 118 and 135 K for undoped and doped sample, respectively. When the applied magnetic field is 7 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change |△S_M| value of the samples is near the Curie temperature(Tc), and the value of|△S_M| reaches 2.76 and 3.03 J/(K kg), respectively. In addition, the relative cooling power(RCP) is found to be 425.28 and 443.53 J/kg. The numerical fitting data fit well with experimental data. These results indicate that both the samples have the potential to realize magnetic refrigeration in the high temperature region(T > 77 K).
