Thermomechanical finite-element model of shell behavior in continuous casting of steel

A coupled finite-element model, CON2D, has been developed to simulate temperature, stress, and shape development during the continuous casting of steel, both in and below the mold. The model simulates a transverse section of the strand in generalized plane strain as it moves down at the casting speed. It includes the effects of heat conduction, solidification, nonuniform superheat dissipation due to turbulent fluid flow, mutual dependence of the heat transfer and shrinkage on the size of the interfacial gap, the taper of the mold wall, and the thermal distortion of the mold. The stress model features an elastic-viscoplastic creep constitutive equation that accounts for the different responses of the liquid, semisolid, delta-ferrite, and austenite phases. Functions depending on temperature and composition are employed for properties such as thermal linear expansion. A contact algorithm is used to prevent penetration of the shell into the mold wall due to the internal liquid pressure. An efficient two-step algorithm is used to integrate these highly nonlinear equations. The model is validated with an analytical solution for both temperature and stress in a solidifying slab. It is applied to simulate continuous casting of a 120 mm billet and compares favorably with plant measurements of mold wall temperature, total heat removal, and shell thickness, including thinning of the corner. The model is ready to investigate issues in continuous casting such as mold taper optimization, minimum shell thickness to avoid breakouts, and maximum casting speed to avoid hot-tear crack formation due to submold bulging.     

垂直铺膜防渗技术在大堤防渗加固工程中的应用

在高水河大堤防渗加固工程中,根据堤身的实际情况,结合地质和施工条件,采用压力灌浆及砼地下连续墙相结合的方法来进行垂直铺膜防渗加固。通过对垂直铺膜前后测压管水头对比研究,分析了大堤外观干、湿土变化和大堤内干土质量密度、密实度的变化,说明了垂直铺膜防渗技术在大堤防渗应用造价低,防渗效果显著,有利于改善大堤的稳定性和安全性。垂直铺膜防渗技术应用于临时防渗及平原低水头水库和河道堤防等工程,实用性强,具有推广价值。     

Glycoconjugated polymer 6. Synthesis of poly[styrene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">block</Emphasis>-(styrene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">graft</Emphasis>-amylose)] via potato phosphorylase-catalyzed polymerization

Summary The potato phosphorylase-catalyzed polymerization of α-D-glucose-1-phosphate (G-1-P) onto poly[styrene-block-(4-vinylbenzyl maltohexaoside)] (1) was performed at the molar ratios of [G-l-P]₀ and [maltohexaose]₀ of 35, 80, and 250. The product was found to be soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide, which was a good solvent for amylose, and showed the complex-formation with iodine, indicating that the product was assignable to poly[styrene-block-(styrene-graft-amylose)] (2). The quantitative analysis of the liberated phosphoric acid gave the average degree of polymerization o f the glucose unit (n) as 27, 5 1, and 180 for 2-I, 2-II, and 2-III, respectively.

Exchange-correlation errors at harmonic and anharmonic orders: the case of bulk Cu

As an aid towards improving the treatment of exchange and correlation effects in electronic structure calculations, it is desirable to have a clear picture of the errors introduced by currently popular approximate exchange-correlation functionals. We have performed ab initio density functional theory and density functional perturbation theory calculations to investigate the thermal properties of bulk Cu, using both the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Thermal effects are treated within the quasiharmonic approximation. We find that the LDA and GGA errors for anharmonic quantities are an order of magnitude smaller than for harmonic quantities; we argue that this might be a general feature. We also obtain much closer agreement with experiment than earlier, more approximate calculations.     

Electronic properties of magnetically doped nanotubes

Effect of doping of carbon nanotubes by magnetic transition metal atoms has been considered in this paper. In the case of semiconducting tubes, it was found that the system has zero magnetization, whereas in metallic tubes the valence electrons of the tube screen the magnetization of the dopants: the coupling to the tube is usually antiferromagnetic (except for Cr).

义东油田大81-4块咸化湖泊生物礁储集层特征

义东油田位于济阳坳陷沾化凹陷义东断裂带，该油田大81—4块沙四段成化湖泊生物礁复合体自下而上可分为5个小型礁体(2个藻礁，3个藻礁丘体)。根据岩心观察、镜下鉴定和钻井等资料，主要有3种岩石类型：白云岩类是下部藻礁的主体，灰岩类是礁丘相的主体，其它岩类(主要为碎屑岩类和盐岩)分布局限；储集空间主要有7种类型(粒间孔隙、粒内孔隙、铸模孔隙、生长骨架孔隙、角砾间孔隙、晶间孔隙和构造裂缝）。该生物礁复合体位于凸起边缘的断阶带平台，发育于有陆源碎屑供给的半清水水域，紧邻深水区。礁体形成后经历了深埋藏成岩期，对储集空间演化影响最大的成岩作用是白云石化作用、溶解作用、新生变形作用和胶结作用。预测大81—221井区及附近的2个枝管藻白云岩礁体为最有利的勘探目标，义东22井附近生物礁也有良好的勘探前景。
