A miniature triaxial apparatus for investigating the micromechanics of granular soils with in situ X-ray micro-tomography scanning

The development of a miniature triaxial apparatus is presented. In conjunction with an X-ray micro-tomography (termed as X-ray μCT hereafter) facility and advanced image processing techniques, this apparatus can be used for in situ investigation of the micro-scale mechanical behavior of granular soils under shear. The apparatus allows for triaxial testing of a miniature dry sample with a size of \mathrm{8}\hspace{0.17em}\mathrm{mm}\times \mathrm{16}\hspace{0.17em}\mathrm{mm} (diameter \times height). In situ triaxial testing of a 0.4–0.8 mm Leighton Buzzard sand (LBS) under a constant confining pressure of 500 kPa is presented. The evolutions of local porosities (i.e., the porosities of regions associated with individual particles), particle kinematics (i.e., particle translation and particle rotation) of the sample during the shear are quantitatively studied using image processing and analysis techniques. Meanwhile, a novel method is presented to quantify the volumetric strain distribution of the sample based on the results of local porosities and particle tracking. It is found that the sample, with nearly homogenous initial local porosities, starts to exhibit obvious inhomogeneity of local porosities and localization of particle kinematics and volumetric strain around the peak of deviatoric stress. In the post-peak shear stage, large local porosities and volumetric dilation mainly occur in a localized band. The developed triaxial apparatus, in its combined use of X-ray μCT imaging techniques, is a powerful tool to investigate the micro-scale mechanical behavior of granular soils.     

基于特征融合的中文简历解析方法研究

针对基于规则和统计的传统中文简历解析方法效率低、成本高、泛化能力差的缺点，提出一种基于特征融合的中文简历解析方法，即级联Word2Vec生成的词向量和用BLSTM（Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory）建模字序列生成的词向量，然后再结合BLSTM和CRF（Conditional Random Fields）对中文简历进行解析（BLSTM-CRF）。为了提高中文简历解析的效率，级联包含字序列信息的词向量和用Word2Vec生成的词向量，融合成一个新的词向量表示；再由BLSTM强大的学习能力融合词的上下文信息，输出所有可能标签序列的分值给CRF层；再由CRF引入标签之间约束关系求解最优序列。利用梯度下降算法训练神经网络，使用预先训练的词向量和Dropout优化神经网络，最终完成对中文简历的解析工作。实验结果表明，所提的特征融合方法优于传统的简历解析方法。     

Etching-enhanced growth of indentation crack in barium titanate single crystal

The effect of etching on an unloaded indentation crack in a poled BaTiO₃ single crystal whose poling direction is lying in or normal to the indentation plane, has been investigated. The result showed that for the sample whose poling direction was lying in the indentation plane, the indentation cracks and 90° domain switching zones surrounded by two pairs of indentation cracks grew gradually during etching using HCl + HF aqueous solution, and reached saturation after etching for 30 s, however, the effect of etching on the crack length and the size of the domain switching zone was very small for the sample whose poling direction was normal to the indentation plane. Etching-enhanced domain switching and crack propagating is due to adsorption-decreased surface energy.

PTN网络的二次断纤链路规划算法

在PTN（PacketTransportNetwork）网络规划建设中,需要对光纤链路留出备份带宽,以保证部分光纤断开时,受影响业务有足够的容量进行路由重组。这也是提高网络生存性的有效方法之一。文中首先遍历网络双链路的失效状态,然后断开网络中任意两条链路,通过逐次增加链路容量来保证失效业务能够重组路由;最后提出二次断纤链路容量规划算法并进行试验仿真。结果表明,该算法在节约网络带宽、降低建造成本以及故障容错方面有着良好性能,能够很好应用于传送网络的链路规划中。

Experimental investigation and thermodynamic modeling of the Mg–Sn–Sr ternary system

The isothermal sections of the Mg–Sn–Sr ternary system in the Mg-rich region at 415 and 350 °C have been determined using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-Ray spectrometry (EDS). The existence of the MgSnSr ternary compound was confirmed in these two isothermal sections. Two new compounds, named Mg₅Sn₃Sr and Mg₂₅Sn₂₄Sr_14, were found in the present work based on the SEM/EDS results. Thermodynamic optimization of the Sn–Sr binary and Mg–Sn–Sr ternary systems were carried out using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) technique. The Modified quasi-chemical model (MQM) was used for the liquid solution which exhibits a high degree of short-range ordering behavior. The solid phases were described with the Compound energy formalism (CEF). Finally, a self-consistent thermodynamic databases for the Mg–Sn–Sr ternary system has been constructed in the present work, which can be an efficient and convenient guidance to investigate and develop the Mg-based alloys.
