Phase transformation of as-sintered magnet was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three low temperature eutectic transition points were detected. Little change could be found when annealed below the lowest eutectic transition point. A wide annealing temperature range (460–560 oC) between the lowest and highest eutectic transition point was available for this magnet to achieve a relatively high coercivity (~1671 kA/m) at a relatively low Dy content (~3 wt.%). However, squareness fac-tor (SF) of the demagnetizing curve and its temperature stability were found to decrease after annealing above the highest eutectic transition point. This was attributed to the change of Cu content in the Nd-rich phase under different annealing temperatures.展开更多

At the bath pH 8.06, the grain size and coercivity of the films reach maximuml while the squareness (Mr/Ms) of MH curves reaches minimum. The Henkel plots indicates that the exchange-coupling interaction is very weak at this pH, which may be caused by phase-separation and large grain size, and then results in the lowest squareness. At pH above 8.5, obvious exchange-coupling interaction is observed because of the inexistence of phase-separation and the refinement of grain size.展开更多

Four turbulence models have been compared in terms of drag coefficient (C_D). The closest result has been provided by two turbulence models, namely, k-ε Realizable and k ?ω Shear Stress Transport (SST). Hence, these models were utilized to present the flow patterns of pressure distributions, turbulent kinetic energy values, velocity magnitude values with streamlines, streamwise velocity components, crossstream velocity components and spanwise velocity components on different planes. Flow stagnation has been attained in front of the cylinder. Pressure values peaked for the upstream region. Over the cylinders, the tip vortex structure was dominant owing to the influence of the free end. Flow separation from the top front edge of the body has been obtained. The dividing streamline affected by the flow separation was highly effective in the wake region and moved nearer to the body when the aspect ratio was decreased;the reason was the wake shrinkage owing to the decreasing aspect ratio. Upwash and downwash have been seen in the cylinder wake. These two models presented similar flow patterns and drag coefficients. These drag coefficients are in good agreement with those in previous studies.展开更多

文摘Open and green spaces are essential elements of cities.With the COVID epidemic,the importance of the need for open and green spaces in urban areas has become more understood.The aim of this study is to create a new and contemporary square in the working area where the current use and traffic create chaos,to add a new square to the open and green areas in Ankara(Turkey)and to create a connection between this area and the existing open and green areas.At the same time,health workers are honoured through a memorial area integrated into the square.The importance of the location chosen as the study area is that it is surrounded by many public health facilities and is a point of intersection of Ankara’s existing open green space systems.Throughout the three-stage design process,brainstorming sessions were held,drawings and sketches were made,and urban analyses were carried out on transport,culture,art,education,health,open and green spaces.Solutions were proposed for both indoor and outdoor spaces,and the forms were transformed into functional design elements and reflected in the space.As a result,after the pandemic,a city square has been created where people can socialise again,with a monument,a square,water surfaces,an amphitheatre,viewing terraces,a market area,a bridge,sitting and walking areas that are appropriate to the capital.
文摘This research presents the square root sum of squares response of displacements and tunnel moments under the Kobe and Loma Prieta seismic excitations with a peak ground acceleration of 0.05 g for various dry relative densities of local sand in Bangladesh.For this reason,a one-dimensional gravitational shake table test was performed after calibration to determine the seismic performance of the concrete tunnel-sand-pile interaction model.A vertical 40 kg load was applied on each pile cap along with the seismic excitations.The experimental results obtained were compared with the previous numerical study conducted by using field data so as to better interpret the variations of results.In the case of vertical sand displacement,the ratio between the previous field data obtained through numerical study and the present study is found to be 0.96.Moreover,the experimental results were compared with the 3D full-scale numerical analysis results of Plaxis considering the Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model of sand.Variations of experimental and numerical results show a satisfactory level of alignment with the previously published work.According to the shake table test results,the lateral displacement of the tunnel is greater than the vertical displacement because of the transverse directional seismic excitation on the tunnel body.The minimum difference between lateral and vertical displacements of the tunnel is found to be 31%for a relative density of 27%under the Loma Prieta earthquake.However,this research may be advanced in the future by considering various peak ground accelerations,tunnel-pile clearance,and geometric properties.

文摘Environmental protection requires identifying,investigating,and raising awareness about safeguarding nature from the harmful effects of both anthropogenic and natural events.This process of environmental protection is essential for maintaining human well-being.In this context,it is critical to monitor and safeguard the personal environment,which includes maintaining a healthy diet and ensuring plant safety.Living in a balanced environment and ensuring the safety of plants for green spaces and a healthy diet require controlling the nature and quality of the soil in our environment.To ensure soil quality,it is imperative to monitor and assess the levels of various soil parameters.Therefore,an Optimized Reduced Kernel Partial Least Squares(ORKPLS)method is proposed to monitor and control soil parameters.This approach is designed to detect increases or deviations in soil parameter quantities.A Tabu search approach was used to select the appropriate kernel parameter.Subsequently,soil analyses were conducted to evaluate the performance of the developed techniques.The simulation results were analyzed and compared.Through this study,deficiencies or exceedances in soil parameter quantities can be identified.The proposed method involves determining whether each soil parameter falls within a normal range.This allows for the assessment of soil parameter conditions based on the principle of fault detection.

文摘The exchange and mutual appreciation of different cultures is an important topic in the context of globalization,and traditional patterns are the crystallization of the national cultures of various countries.The study focuses on the Ming Dynasty Mandarin square in ancient China and the Tudor Dynasty coat of arms during the same period in England.By using comparative research,case studies,and combining historical documents and images,the origins of the two types of decorations are traced,and their social connotations and influencing factors are analyzed.Research has shown that under the influence of the historical backgrounds of politics,economy,and culture,the two types of decorative patterns exhibit a realistic aesthetic trend.The cultural connotations not only demonstrate social narrative functions such as customs and rituals,but also reflect political system functions such as hierarchy and honor.The different historical origins give rise to cultural differences in the selection of decorative elements between the two.The comparative study of the two is not only beneficial for conducting decorative design research from a global perspective,but also can promote the modern inheritance of traditional patterns while seeking common ground and reserving differences.

文摘Recently,there have been few reports on the hot extrusion process of magnesium(Mg)alloy square tubes.In this work,we introduce a novel hot extrusion process called tube continuous expanding shear extrusion(t CESE)to produce Mg alloy square tubes with heterogeneous structures.Compared to previously reported hot-extruded Mg alloy tubes,the tCESE samples exhibit simultaneous enhancements in both strength and ductility.The microstructure evolution during the t CESE process was analyzed in detail.It was found that the microstructure developed consecutively as a result of twinning-induced dynamic recrystallization(TDRX),discontinuous dynamic recrystallization(DDRX)and continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX)with different nucleation of new orientations,while static recrystallization(SRX)promoted the formation of heterogeneous structures.The strengthening mechanism in the t CESE samples was revealed by loading-unloading-reloading(LUR)tensile tests,viscoplastic self-consistent(VPSC)simulation and intermittent tensile tests.The improvement of the strength in the tCESE samples is attributed to the size refinement of the grains and the second-phases,and more importantly,to hetero-deformation induced(HDI)strengthening.The improvement of the ductility in the t CESE samples can be attributed to the significant increase in non-basal dislocations within the heterogeneous structures during tensile deformation.

文摘A new hang-off system has been proposed to improve the security of risers in hang-off modes during typhoons.However,efficient anti-typhoon evacuation strategies have not been investigated.Optimiza-tion model and method for the anti-typhoon evacuation strategies should be researched.Therefore,multi-objective functions are proposed based on operation time,evacuation speed stability,and steering stability.An evacuation path model and a dynamic model of risers with the new hang-off system are developed for design variables and constraints.A multi-objective optimization model with high-dimensional variables and complex constraints is established.Finally,a three-stage optimization method based on genetic algorithm,least square method,and the penalty function method is proposed to solve the multi-objective optimization model.Optimization results show that the operation time can be reduced through operation parameter optimization,especially evacuation heading optimization.The optimal anti-typhoon strategy is evacuation with all risers suspended along a variable path when the direction angle is large,while evacuation with all risers suspended along a straight path at another di-rection angle.Besides,the influencing factors on anti-typhoon evacuation strategies indicate that the proposed optimization model and method have strong applicability to working conditions and remarkable optimization effects.
文摘Flow characteristics around a wall-mounted square cylinder have been numerically simulated at aspect ratios (AR) ranging from 4 to 7 at Re =10 000. Four turbulence models have been compared in terms of drag coefficient (C_D). The closest result has been provided by two turbulence models, namely, k-ε Realizable and k ?ω Shear Stress Transport (SST). Hence, these models were utilized to present the flow patterns of pressure distributions, turbulent kinetic energy values, velocity magnitude values with streamlines, streamwise velocity components, crossstream velocity components and spanwise velocity components on different planes. Flow stagnation has been attained in front of the cylinder. Pressure values peaked for the upstream region. Over the cylinders, the tip vortex structure was dominant owing to the influence of the free end. Flow separation from the top front edge of the body has been obtained. The dividing streamline affected by the flow separation was highly effective in the wake region and moved nearer to the body when the aspect ratio was decreased;the reason was the wake shrinkage owing to the decreasing aspect ratio. Upwash and downwash have been seen in the cylinder wake. These two models presented similar flow patterns and drag coefficients. These drag coefficients are in good agreement with those in previous studies.

文摘Passive optical motion capture technology is an effective mean to conduct high-precision pose estimation of small scenes of mobile robots;nevertheless,in the case of complex background and stray light interference in the scene,due to the infuence of target adhesion and environmental reflection,this technology cannot estimate the pose accurately.A passive binocular optical motion capture technology under complex illumination based on binocular camera and fixed retroreflective marker balls has been proposed.By fixing multiple hemispherical retrorefective marker balls on a rigid base,it uses binocular camera for depth estimation to obtain the fixed position relationship between the feature points.After performing unsupervised state estimation without manual operation,it overcomes the infuence of refection spots in the background.Meanwhile,contour extraction and ellipse least square fitting are used to extract the marker balls with incomplete shape as the feature points,so as to solve the problem of target adhesion in the scene.A FANUC m10i-a robot moving with 6-DOF is used for verification using the above methods in a complex lighting environment of a welding laboratory.The result shows that the average of absolute position errors is 5.793mm,the average of absolute rotation errors is 1.997°the average of relative position errors is 0.972 mm,and the average of relative rotation errors is 0.002°.Therefore,this technology meets the requirements of high-precision measurement in a complex lighting environment when estimating the 6-DOF-motion mobile robot and has very significant application prospects in complex scenes.
