The results of the experiment reveal that for a steady-state ice sheet profile the characteristic curves describe the process of evolution which are accordant with theoretical estimates. By solving the coupled thermodynamics equations of ice sheet, one may find the characteristic curves which derived from the conservation of the mass, energy and momentum to the ice flow profile. At the same time, an agreement, approximate to the GLIMMER case and the confirmed theoretical results, is found. Present study is explorihg work to introduce and discuss the handicaps of EISMINT criterion and GLIMMER, and prospect a few directions of the GLIMMER model.展开更多

Mass losses from the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) will be partially responsible for future SLR, although there are large uncertainties in modeled climate and ice sheet behavior. We used the ice sheet model SICOPOLIS (Simulation COde for POLythermal Ice Sheets) driven by climate projections from 20 models in the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) to estimate the GrlS contribution to global SLR. Based on the outputs of the 20 models, it is estimated that the GrIS will contribute 0-16 (0-27) cm to global SLR by 2100 under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 (RCP 8.5) scenarios. The projected SLR increases further to 7-22 (7-33) cm with 2~basal sliding included. In response to the results of the multimodel ensemble mean, the ice sheet model projects a global SLR of 3 cm and 7 cm (10 cm and 13 cm with 2~basal sliding) under the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios, respectively. In addition, our results suggest that the uncertainty in future sea level projection caused by the large spread in climate projections could be reduced with model-evaluation and the selective use of model outputs.展开更多

The results indicate that the binding energy obtained from B3LYP calculations is weaker than that obtained from MP2 calculations but the relative binding energy yielded by B3LYP is almost the same as that by MP2. For the antiparallel β-sheets in which two N―H···O═C hydrogen bonds can form either a large hydrogen-bonded ring or a small hydrogen-bonded ring,the binding energy increases obviously when one large ring unit is added,whereas it only changes slightly when one small ring unit is added because of the secondary electrostatic repulsive interaction existing in the small ring unit which is estimated to be about 20 kJ/mol. For the parallel β-sheet models,the binding energy increases almost exactly linearly with the increase of the chain length.展开更多

The interfacial elements inserted between the two metals, which are characteristic of the shear-susceptible deformation with the help of the shear factor in the expression of effective strain rate,are used to model the relative slidding at the interface. It is found that the proposed method is applicable to the simulation of clad metal sheets rolling.展开更多

Assuming low- frequency perturbations with long axial wavelengths, the eigenvalue equation and the dispersion relation are acquired for a sheet electron beam with sharp boundary profile and uniform density. The results presented in this paper has developed the use of the macroscopic cold-fluid model theory by extending the parameter of the electron cyclotron frequency ωc to a wider usage range, which is restricted to be much larger than the plasma frequency ωp in the previous research work. Theoretical analyses and numerical calculations indicate that the transport of the sheet electron beam will be completely stabilized by augmenting the normalized beam thickness to a conductor gap larger than a threshold λb, which is greatly dependent on the parameter ωc/ωp. The larger ωc/ωp is, the smaller λb will be needed. Moreover, the system parameters, including the wave number kx of the perturbations and the relativistic mass factor γb, will also influence the growth rate of diocotron instability obviously.展开更多

The material was cyclically tensile-loaded with a strain range between 2.4% and 4%. The time period for each cycle was 400 seconds. It was found that stress will decrease when the number of cycles increases in the case of upper load and vice versa in the case of lower load. At the same time, the stress to strain curves followed the same pattern as the one from the previous cycle. The stress relaxation behavior of each cycle has been analyzed and the dynamic relaxation modulus was derived. An improved model is proposed to describe the dynamic relaxation behavior of the paper sheet. This model shows a very good fit to the experimental results and trends of prediction are observed. Furthermore, the physical description of this model and the variation by the cycles is discussed.展开更多

Then, a new macroscopic constitutive model is introduced, which possesses an enhanced description capacity of tension/compression anisotropy and anisotropic hardening. In order to take into account the twinning process of hexagonal close-packed material, a modified hierarchical multi-scale model is also established with adequate accuracy in a shorter computational time. The advanced forming limit of sheet metal, mainly about aluminum alloy, is also investigated. Besides the above theory developments, some new sheet metal forming technologies are reviewed simultaneously. The warm forming technology of Mg alloy is discussed. New processes to form sheet parts and to bend tubes are proposed by using hard granules. On the other hand, a new kind of ultra-high-strength steel based on typical22 Mn B5 by introducing more residual austenite and Cu-rich phase to increase the elongation and strength and its novel forming method that integrates hot stamping and quenching participation are proposed. Progresses in sheet hydroforming,press forging and electromagnetic forming of sheet metal parts are also summarized.展开更多

An asymmetrical rolling force model was established, and the upper and lower neutral points were determined. Thc bending which resulted from the asymmetrical rolling force at the roll gap was studied and related flexibility equations were proposed according to elastic mechanics. Moreover, material mechanics was used to analyze the effects of temperature difference and self-weight on the bending out of the roll gap, and the flexibility equations were constructed. The main factors on bending were summed up, and the bending rule in the rolling could be obtained. In addition practical calculation was made with the production data of ribbon steel from Laiwu Iron & Steel Group Co. Ltd.展开更多

Meanwhile, many methods and algorithms have been proposed for part retrieval. However, most of the existing methods are designed lbr mechanical parts, and can not be well worked for sheet metal part re- trieval. An approach to feature-based retrieval of sheet metal parts is presented. Firstly, the features frequently used in sheet metal part design are chosen as the "'key words" in retrieval. Based on those features, a relative position model is built to express the different relationships of the features in 3D space. Secondly, a description method of the model is studied. With the descrip- tion method the relative position of features in sheet metal parts can be expressed by four location description matrices. Thirdly, based on the relative position model and location description matrices, the equivalent definition of relationships of two feature groups is given which is the basis to calculate the similarity of two sheet metal parts. Next, the tbrmula of retrieval algorithm for sheet metal parts is given. Finally, a prototype system is developed to test and verify the effectiveness of the retrieval method suggested. Experiments verify that the new method is able to meet the requirements of searching sheet metal parts and possesses potentials in practical application.展开更多
