Studies conducted on two power-generating units at the Kharanorskaya SAPP relative to the steam-water-oxygen passivation, preservation, and partial cleaning of all boiler-heating surfaces, including the surfaces of the reheater, and passivation of the surfaces of the high-pressure heaters on the steam and water sides by the steam-oxygen method, as well as partial passivation, preservation, and cleaning of turbine blading are presented. __________ Translated from élektricheskie Stantsii, No. 6, pp. 56–64, May, 2006.     

A study on dynamic friction of different spun yarns

This article presents the results from a study of yarn-to-yarn (YY) and yarn-to-metal (YM) frictions conducted on ring, rotor, air-jet, and open-end friction (OE friction) spun yarns at different relative speeds and input tensions. The results indicate that the behavior of frictions for YY is different than that of YM. In case of YY friction, OE friction yarn shows maximum friction followed by rotor, air-jet, and ring spun yarns; however, a reverse order is noticed for YM friction. The relative speed and input tension have significant influence on the frictional behavior of spun yarns. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

Parametric circles and spheres

Formulations for parametric circles and spheres in terms of rational Gaussian (RaG) curves and surfaces are introduced. With the proposed formulations, a full circle is generated by interpolating a closed RaG curve to the vertices of an equilateral triangle, and a full sphere is generated by interpolating a closed RaG surface to the vertices of an octahedron with equilateral triangular faces. Generation of circles and spheres in this manner is very intuitive and easy to remember as the weights are all 1 and the nodes are all unique and uniformly spaced.

Analysis of frictional energy dissipation on an annular surface with harmonic loading

Metallic mating surfaces in structural joints offer a good source of frictional energy dissipation resulting in a damped dynamic structural response. This paper reports the results of experiments where the energy dissipation per cycle occurring at a preloaded flat metallic annular interface subjected to cyclic tangential forces is measured. The effects of certain pertinent joint variables on this frictional energy dissipation are investigated by the application of Response Surface Methodology. A central composite rotatable design was utilized for developing empirical expressions for energy loss. The methodology presented suggests a useful technique for tribological research.     

Boundary Constrained Swept Surfaces for Modelling and Animation

Due to their simplicity and intuitiveness, swept surfaces are widely used in many surface modelling applications. In this paper, we present a versatile swept surface technique called the boundary constrained swept surfaces. The most distinct feature is its ability to satisfy boundary constraints, including the shape and tangent conditions at the boundaries of a swept surface. This permits significantly varying surfaces to be both modelled and smoothly assembled, leading to the construction of complex objects. The representation, similar to an ordinary swept surface, is analytical in nature and thus it is light in storage cost and numerically very stable to compute. We also introduce a number of useful shape manipulation tools, such as sculpting forces, to deform a surface both locally and globally. In addition to being a complementary method to the mainstream surface modelling and deformation techniques, we have found it very effective in automatically rebuilding existing complex models. Model reconstruction is arguably one of the most laborious and expensive tasks in modelling complex animated characters. We demonstrate how our technique can be used to automate this process.

岩石高边坡稳定性并行计算及其应用

在高地震烈度区的岩石高边坡抗震安全评价需要大规模数值计算,而现有商业软件无法有效解决这类复杂的工程问题,因此,本文开发了解决岩石高边坡接触稳定性问题的对等架构并行计算程序,并应用于泰山公司抽水蓄能电站上水库左岸边坡的静力和动力稳定性评价。在数值建模过程中,将岩石边坡滑块体、地质结构面、库水作用以及近场地基作为岩石高边坡动力接触系统。在稳定性安全评价中结合了有限元法、极限平衡法和接触算法,考虑影响高边坡稳定性的多种复杂因素,通过计算特定滑动面的安全系数或安全系数时程,基于现行水电工程水工建筑物抗震设计规范,完成了岩石高边坡稳定性评价,回避了求解复杂岩体材料非线性的问题。计算结果显示,所开发的程序具有较高的并行计算效率,对解决复杂岩石高边坡稳定问题具有显著的优势。
