Modeling study of migration-driven lateral instability in autocatalytic systems

The lateral stability of reaction fronts in simple autocatalytic models with the components carrying various charges is investigated when the system is exposed to an inhomogeneous electric field parallel to the direction of propagation. The enhanced migrational flux of the reactant destabilizes the planar front giving rise to a cellular structure because the electric field strength is greater on the reactant side of the reaction front. The onset of instability depends not only on the charge difference between the reactant and the autocatalyst but also on the variation of specific conductance in the course of the reaction, which results in a difference in electric field strength on the opposite sides of the reaction front.     

Plastic instability in dual-pressure tube-hydroforming process

The tube-hydroforming process has become an indispensable manufacturing technique in recent years. Successful tube hydroforming requires bulging to take place without causing any type of instability such as bursting, wrinkling or buckling. The dual-pressure tube-hydroforming process was introduced to achieve a favorable tri-axial stress state in the deformation process. In this paper, the effect of applying counter pressure on plastic instability of thin-walled tubes is analyzed. It is concluded that in dual-pressure tube hydroforming, the onset of plastic instability is delayed and the ductility of the metal is increased.     

Study on a Distributed Wavelength Routing Algorithm in WDM Optical Transport Networks

A new design scheme for a distributed algorithm for routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) is developed in this paper, and the communication rules between the nodes to exchange signaling packets are discussed. The Adaptive-Alternate-Routing-Least-Load (AARLL) algorithm is implemented in the distributed scheme for the first time. Under dynamic traffic circumstances, the influence of the race condition, which does not exist in centralized scheme, on the network performance is analyzed and the analyzed results show that the race condition has a major impact on network performance only under light traffic load, while under medium and heavy traffic load the impact is very small. To analyze the performance loss caused by adopting the distributed algorithm for RWA, the capacity loss factor (CLF) is introduced and the calculated results show that CLF does not exceed 6% under medium traffic load.     

Probabilistic cell modelling of cleavage fracture

Various aspects on probabilistic modelling of cleavage fracture are discussed. The investigation involves consideration of a unit cell with an explicitly modelled void. The results from this model are compared with results for the case when the void content is accounted for in the sense of a Gurson-Tvergaard law. It is found that explicit modelling of the void can give substantially different results for the fracture probability. The effect depends on the exponent in the assumed Weibull distribution, the threshold stress, the constraint conditions and the hardening of the material. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Luminescent Efficiency in Single-layer Organic Electrophosphorescent Devices

Based on the charge injection and recombination processes and the triplet-triplet annihilation process, a model to calculate the electro.luminescent（EL） efficiency is presented. The influences of the applied electric field on the injection efficiency, recombination efficiency and electroluminescent efficiency are discussed. It is found that： （1） The injection efficiency is increasing while the recombination efficiency is decreasing with the applied electric field increasing. （2） The EL efficiency is enhanced at low electric field slowly but is decreasing at high electric field with the increase of applied voltage. （3） The EL efficiency is decreasing with the increase of the host-guest molecular distance （R）. So, it is concluded that the EL efficiency in single-layer organic electrophosphorescent devices is dominated by injection efficiency at lower electric field and recombination efficiency at higher electric field.     

Optimal search for signals in a multichannel system: Arbitrary initial distribution in state space merging scheme

Markovian and semi-Markovian random processes are used to analyze the problem of optimal search for signals in a multichannel communication system with arbitrarily distributed random outputs. The search efficiency factor is found in explicit form based on state space merging, and a mathematical programming problem is set up to find a numerical suboptimal solution. __________ Translated from Kibernetika i Sistemnyi Analiz, No. 3, pp. 144–150, May–June 2007.

钻井岩屑粒径分布规律的研究

钻井振动筛是固控系统的重要分离设备,其主要任务是清除钻井液中直径大于74μm的固相颗粒。对辽河油田7口井深0～3500m的钻井岩屑进行了实地取样,分析了岩样颗粒直径大于74μm的粒径分布特征。分析结果表明,钻井岩屑具有明显的片状特征,颗粒的粒径分布主要与地层岩性和破岩工具有关,随着井深的变化,其岩样粒径分布呈现出幂分布、2分布和瑞利分布等3组典型规律。给出了岩屑颗粒的概率直径;建议在筛面颗粒运动特性研究、筛网工作载荷的计算和激振方式的选择中,应考虑岩屑颗粒片状特性的影响。
