Influences of nanometer ZrO2 particles on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Ce-TZP/Al2O3 ceramics were investigated. Meanwhile, t-—m transformation toughening mechanism was investigated by x-ray diffractometry (XRD) method, and deflection of samples under applied stress were recorded too. The results show that when the percentage of ZrO2 was 20%, the mechanical properties and microstructures of materials were preferential. Additionally, TEM observation show that dislocation structures form both in the A12O3 grain and on the A12O3 grain boundary.展开更多

It is found that boron addition is effective on increasing the room temperature hardeness on the Ni-rich side but it has no effect on the A1-rich side of stoichiometry. These observations are attributed to interstitial dissolution of boron in Ni-rich NiAl and to a lack of solubility and also due to an enrichment at grain boundaries on the A1-rich side. The similar effect is found in high temperature creep resistance of NiAl by boron addition. The high temperature creep resistance increases on the Ni-rich side but it does not affect the A1-rich side of off-stoiciometry.展开更多

We surrounded binary core-shell nanoparticles with a Pt skin layer. To overcome surface segregation of the core 3-d transition metal, we identified the binary alloy Cu0.76Ni0.24 as having strongly attractive atomic interactions by computationally screening 158 different alloy configurations using energy convex hull theory. The PtskinCu0.76Ni0.24 nanoparticle showed better electrochemical stability than pure Pt nanoparticles -3 nm in size. We propose that the underlying mechanism originates from favorable compressive strain on Pt for ORR catalysis and atomic interactions among the nanoparticle shells for electrochemical stability. Our results will contribute to accurate identification and innovative design of promising nanomaterials for renewable energy systems.展开更多

A proposed MPL-CORE algorithm efficiently induces Horn clauses from examples and background knowledge by employing a single predicate learning module CORE. A fast failure mechanism is also proposed which contributes learning efficiency and learnability to the algorithm. MPL-CORE employs background knowledge that can be represented in intensional (Horn clauses) or extensional (ground atoms) forms during its learning process. With the fast failure mechanism, MPL-CORE outperforms previous multiple predicate learning systems in both the computational complexity and learnability.展开更多
