In 3D SSMEDM process, the axial wear of tool electrode can be compensated automatically by servo-keeping discharge gap, instead of the traditional methods that depend on experiential models or intermittent compensation. However, the effects of process parameters on 3D SSMEDM have not been reported up until now. In this study, the emphasis is laid on the effects of pulse duration, peak current, machining polarity, track style, track overlap, and scanning velocity on the 3D SSMEDM performances of machining efficiency, processing status, and surface accuracy. A series of experiments were carried out by machining a micro-rectangle cavity (900 μm×600 μm) on doped silicon. The experimental results were obtained as follows. Peak current plays a main role in machining efficiency and surface accuracy. Pulse duration affects obviously the stability of discharge state. The material removal rate of cathode processing is about 3/5 of that of anode processing. Compared with direction-parallel path, contour-parallel path is better in counteracting the lateral wear of tool electrode end. Scanning velocity should be selected moderately to avoid electric arc and short. Track overlap should be slightly less than the radius of tool electrode. In addition, a typical 3D micro structure of eye shape was machined based on the optimized process parameters. These results are beneficial to improve machining stability, accuracy, and efficiency in 3D SSMEDM.展开更多

By simulations on SRIM software and SILVACO software, the electrical parameters shifts of the device with defects in different regions are observed. The results indicate that the defects in different regions induced by radiations lead to different degradations of the electrical parameters. Non-ionization bulk defects in the JFET region make the drain-source on-state resistance Rdson increase,and those near the impact ionization center make the breakdown voltage Vbreakdownincrease. Moreover,the radiationinduced SiC/SiO2 interface defects,known as negative interface charges or positive interface charges,influence the electrical parameters significantly as well. The positive interface charges along the SiC/SiO2 interface above the channel region lead to a decrease in threshold voltage Vth,Rdsonand Vbreakdown,while positive interface charges along the Si C/Metal interface above the main junction of the terminal only leads to the decrease in Vbreakdown. The negative interface charges along the SiC/SiO2 interface above the channel region can make Vth,Rdsonand Vbreakdownincrease.展开更多

This module, reference SN-CIGS90, is tested under the initial conditions to ensure its correct operation and to determine the initial values of the electrical parameters before shading. After this characterization test, the module is exposed under the actual operating conditions of the Renewable Energies Study and Research Center (CERER), located in Dakar, then 4 types of shading are performed with the same mask: partial shading 25% partial shading, 50% partial shading, 75% partial shading, and 100% full shading. The variation rates obtained on the experimental values of the 4 types of shading carried out determine that the shading phenomenon constitutes a factor that influences negatively on the electrical parameters of a CIGS-based PV module. Indeed, for 25% of the surface of the shaded module, there is a reduction of 58.139% of the maximum power and of 60.507% of the efficiency and for shading of 100%, the module loses 84.436% of its maximum power and 84.135% of its performance.展开更多

Cardiac electrical a...This work presents the dynamical modelling of cardiac electrical activity using bidomain approach. It focuses on the effects of variation of the ionic model parameters on cardiac wave propagation. Cardiac electrical activity is governed by partial differential equations coupled to a system of ordinary differential equations. Numerical simulation of these equations is computationally expensive due to their non-linearity and stiffness. Nevertheless, we adopted the bidomain model due to its ability to reflect the actual cardiac wave propagation. The derived bidomain equations coupled with FitzHugh-Nagumo’s ionic equations were time-discretized using explicit forward Euler method and space-discretized using 2-D network modelling to obtain linearized equations for transmembrane potential Vm, extracellular potential φe and gating variable w. We implemented the discretized model and performed simulation experiments to study the effects of variation of ionic model parameters on the propagation of electrical wave across the cardiac tissue. Time characteristic of transmembrane potential, Vm, in the normal cardiac tissue was obtained by setting the values of ionic model parameters to 0.2, 0.2, 0.7 and 0.8 for excitation rate constant ε1, recovery rate constant ε2, recovery decay constant γ and excitation decay constant β respectively. Changing the values of ε1, ε2 to 0.04 and 0.28 respectively, the obtained Vm showed a time dilation at 0.04 indicating cardiac arrhythmia but no significant change to Vm was observed at 0.28. Also, changing β to 0.3 and 1.1 and γ to 0.4 and 1.2 sequentially, there was no significant change to the time characteristic of Vm. The obtained results revealed that only decrease in ε1, ε2 impacted significantly on the cardiac wave propagation.展开更多

The microstructural characteristics of coatings were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with the analysis of voltage-time responses during MAO process. Test of weight loss was conducted at a 3.5% NaCl solution to assess the resistance to corrosion. The results indicate that the current density and duty cycle play key roles on the coating quality. The peak voltage during MAO process increased with the increase in current density but the coating would be more easily detached when the current density was beyond a critical value. Voltage during MAO and microstructure of the coating were affected remarkably by duty cycle, and corrosion resistance was improved greatly when duty cycle was 40%. By means of single variable experiments, MAO process with optimized electric parameters was developed, which corresponds to the current density of 20 A dm 2 , frequency of 500 Hz, duty cycle of 40% and oxidation time of 15 min.展开更多

The results show that as for electromagnetic soft-contact continuous casting system with partial-segment type mold, the power consumption is much more than that with a full-segment type mold; about 62% of electric power is dissipated in the mold, and the effective acting range of magnetic field is relatively narrow. Optimizing mold structure is a crucial measure of remarkably reducing mold power consumption and saving electric energy. Increasing slit number, width, and length can remarkably increase the magnetic flux density in the mold and can reduce the electric energy consumption. Among structure parameters, slit number and slit width are relatively more effective to reduce energy consumption. For a round billet electromagnetic continuous casting system with diameter of 178 ram, the reasonable slit number, width, and length are about 24--32, 0. 5--1.0 mm, and 160 mm, respectively.展开更多

文摘The radiation influences on electrical parameters of4H-SiC vertical double-implanted metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor( VDMOS) are studied. By simulations on SRIM software and SILVACO software, the electrical parameters shifts of the device with defects in different regions are observed. The results indicate that the defects in different regions induced by radiations lead to different degradations of the electrical parameters. Non-ionization bulk defects in the JFET region make the drain-source on-state resistance Rdson increase,and those near the impact ionization center make the breakdown voltage Vbreakdownincrease. Moreover,the radiationinduced SiC/SiO2 interface defects,known as negative interface charges or positive interface charges,influence the electrical parameters significantly as well. The positive interface charges along the SiC/SiO2 interface above the channel region lead to a decrease in threshold voltage Vth,Rdsonand Vbreakdown,while positive interface charges along the Si C/Metal interface above the main junction of the terminal only leads to the decrease in Vbreakdown. The negative interface charges along the SiC/SiO2 interface above the channel region can make Vth,Rdsonand Vbreakdownincrease.

This module, reference SN-CIGS90, is tested under the initial conditions to ensure its correct operation and to determine the initial values of the electrical parameters before shading. After this characterization test, the module is exposed under the actual operating conditions of the Renewable Energies Study and Research Center (CERER), located in Dakar, then 4 types of shading are performed with the same mask: partial shading 25% partial shading, 50% partial shading, 75% partial shading, and 100% full shading. The variation rates obtained on the experimental values of the 4 types of shading carried out determine that the shading phenomenon constitutes a factor that influences negatively on the electrical parameters of a CIGS-based PV module. Indeed, for 25% of the surface of the shaded module, there is a reduction of 58.139% of the maximum power and of 60.507% of the efficiency and for shading of 100%, the module loses 84.436% of its maximum power and 84.135% of its performance.
文摘This work presents the dynamical modelling of cardiac electrical activity using bidomain approach. It focuses on the effects of variation of the ionic model parameters on cardiac wave propagation. Cardiac electrical activity is governed by partial differential equations coupled to a system of ordinary differential equations. Numerical simulation of these equations is computationally expensive due to their non-linearity and stiffness. Nevertheless, we adopted the bidomain model due to its ability to reflect the actual cardiac wave propagation. The derived bidomain equations coupled with FitzHugh-Nagumo’s ionic equations were time-discretized using explicit forward Euler method and space-discretized using 2-D network modelling to obtain linearized equations for transmembrane potential Vm, extracellular potential φe and gating variable w. We implemented the discretized model and performed simulation experiments to study the effects of variation of ionic model parameters on the propagation of electrical wave across the cardiac tissue. Time characteristic of transmembrane potential, Vm, in the normal cardiac tissue was obtained by setting the values of ionic model parameters to 0.2, 0.2, 0.7 and 0.8 for excitation rate constant ε1, recovery rate constant ε2, recovery decay constant γ and excitation decay constant β respectively. Changing the values of ε1, ε2 to 0.04 and 0.28 respectively, the obtained Vm showed a time dilation at 0.04 indicating cardiac arrhythmia but no significant change to Vm was observed at 0.28. Also, changing β to 0.3 and 1.1 and γ to 0.4 and 1.2 sequentially, there was no significant change to the time characteristic of Vm. The obtained results revealed that only decrease in ε1, ε2 impacted significantly on the cardiac wave propagation.

文摘Assuming a reservoir with a typical salt-lake background in the Qaidam Basin as a testbed,in this study the var-iation law of the rock electrical parameters has been determined through water displacement experiments with different salinities.As made evident by the results,the saturation index increases with the degree of water injec-tion.When the salinity of the injected water is lower than 80000 ppm,the resistivity of the rock samplefirst decreases,then it remains almost constant in an intermediate stage,andfinally it grows,thereby giving rise to a‘U’profile behavior.As the salinity decreases,the water saturation corresponding to the inflection point of the resistivity becomes lower,thereby leading to a wider‘U’type range and a higher terminal resistivity.For dif-ferent samples,higher initial resistivity of the sample in the oil-bearing state,and higher resistivity after low-sali-nity water washing are obtained when a thicker lithology is considered.

In most of the cases, before the experiment, the functions of electrical parameters can be predicted by the use of physical simulation codes. A single simulation model describing the discharge circuitry was introduced. By solving the equations of circuit via Runge-Kutta method, the current and voltage pulses of the discharge tube were investigated, which are in good agreement with the experimental results of the same laser.
文摘Vertical Electrical Soundings(VES)using Schlumberger array was carried out at fifteen(15)different points to evaluate aquifer characteristics within Igbo-Imabana,Abi L.G.A of Cross River State.Resistivity meter and its accessories were used for data acquisition.The maximum current and potential electrode distance were 400 m and 20 m respectively.The field data were interpreted using Interpex software and three to five geo-electric layers encountered within the study area.The dominant curve type was H followed by K.From the result,geo-electric layers delineated were sandstone,clay,saturated sandstone,sandy shale,clayey shale,and shale with average apparent resistivity values of 2249.94Ωm,2.86Ωm,365.28Ωm,222.69Ωm,14.60Ωm and 59.02Ωm respectively.The top geoelectric layer was dominantly lateritic topsoil,with variation in degrees of compaction and having an average resistivity of 876.33Ωm with depth and thickness generally less than 5 m.The calculated aquifer parameters hydraulic conductivity(K_(c)),transmissivity,longitudinal conductance,and transverse resistance from the VES results show ranges values;3.86×10^(-4)to 4.69×10^(-2)m/day,2.95×10^(-3)to 2.82 m^(2)/day,2.95×10^(-3)to 2.81Ωm and 484.33 to 19444.83Ω^(2)m respectively.The aquifer thickness and depth values range from 3.60 m to 68.05 m and 5.20 m to 76 m respectively.The study reviewed that the area is made of heterolithic/heterogenous lithofacies,confined aquifer(s),shallow and deep aquifer.Also,from the models and aquifer parameters,the area is characterized by semipervious materials.This integrally explains why the area have have low transmissivity and majority of boreholes drilled in the area failed.

文摘Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process was carried out in a dual electrolyte system of NaAlO 2 and Na 3 PO 4 on ZK60 Mg alloys to explore the effect of electric parameters including current density, frequency, duty cycle and oxidation time on the evolution of coatings and other characteristics. The microstructural characteristics of coatings were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with the analysis of voltage-time responses during MAO process. Test of weight loss was conducted at a 3.5% NaCl solution to assess the resistance to corrosion. The results indicate that the current density and duty cycle play key roles on the coating quality. The peak voltage during MAO process increased with the increase in current density but the coating would be more easily detached when the current density was beyond a critical value. Voltage during MAO and microstructure of the coating were affected remarkably by duty cycle, and corrosion resistance was improved greatly when duty cycle was 40%. By means of single variable experiments, MAO process with optimized electric parameters was developed, which corresponds to the current density of 20 A dm 2 , frequency of 500 Hz, duty cycle of 40% and oxidation time of 15 min.

文摘To design a power source system and mold for electromagnetic soft-contact continuous casting process and to theoretically estimate the heat losses from the charges and the system power, the effect of structure parameters on system power and magnetic flux density distribution was calculated using finite element method. The results show that as for electromagnetic soft-contact continuous casting system with partial-segment type mold, the power consumption is much more than that with a full-segment type mold; about 62% of electric power is dissipated in the mold, and the effective acting range of magnetic field is relatively narrow. Optimizing mold structure is a crucial measure of remarkably reducing mold power consumption and saving electric energy. Increasing slit number, width, and length can remarkably increase the magnetic flux density in the mold and can reduce the electric energy consumption. Among structure parameters, slit number and slit width are relatively more effective to reduce energy consumption. For a round billet electromagnetic continuous casting system with diameter of 178 ram, the reasonable slit number, width, and length are about 24--32, 0. 5--1.0 mm, and 160 mm, respectively.
文摘Geoelectrical soundings using the Schlumberger array were carried out in the vicinity of 23 pumping test sites to determine aquifer parameters, central Jordan. On the basis of aquifer geometry, the area has been di-vided into two hydraulic units: the northern flood plain and the flood plain to its south. Field resistivity data are interpreted in terms of the true resistivity and thickness of subsurface layers. These parameters are then correlated with the available pumping test data. Significant correlations between the transmissivity and modified transverse resistance as well as between the hydraulic conductivity and formation factor were ob-tained for the two hydraulic units, in central Jordan are presented here.
