Lubricating and physico-chemical properties of CI- 4 plus engine oil dispersed with surface modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes

This paper studies the effect of surface modification of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) prior to dispersion in engine oil to improve the tribological properties. The MWCNTs are stabilised in the lubricant with two different surfactants cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) and sorbitan monooleate (SPAN 80) and the effect of surfactants on the tribological properties has been studied. Pristine and surface modified MWCNTs in weight per cent range of 0·5% are dispersed in CI4 plus diesel engine oil. The foaming tendency and other physico-chemical properties of test lubricant have been studied to investigate the effect of nano materials and surfactants. The anti-wear and anti-friction properties are tested on a four ball wear tester and the comparison is made to assess the relative performance of pristine MWCNTs over surface modified MWCNTs. A strong influence of the surface modification technique is found on lubricating and physico-chemical properties. Both CTAB and SPAN 80 could keep the MWCNTs stable in the lubricant without compromising the foaming tendency of lubricant and other physico-chemical properties. The friction and wear characteristics of lubricants have improved with the dispersion of surface modified MWCNTs while there is no improvement in the properties of lubricant dispersed with pristine MWCNTs.     

基于SDN的互联网域间路由研究

互联网流量的爆发式增长,叠加互联网流量固有的突发性特点,使得网络流量不均衡现象日益加剧。传统BGP协议由于缺乏全网拓扑和全局流量观,只能遵循标准BGP选路原则,在解决流量调度和负载均衡方面存在不足。针对BGP协议存在的局限性,研发了基于RR+的互联网骨干网流量调度系统,并应用于ChinaNet骨干网的网内中继、网间互联出口、IDC出口等多个流量优化场景。更进一步地,提出了一种基于SDN的互联网域间路由架构,通过在域间控制器之间交换BGP路由,无需在域内和域间运行BGP协议,极大地简化了网络协议,并能够实现灵活的流量调度和负载均衡。     

Effects of pyrochlore content on the phase,structure, and properties of uranium-rich glass ceramics

In this study, the effects of the pyrochlore content on the phase, structure, and properties of uranium-rich glass ceramics were studied by modifying the mass ratio of the uranium pyrochlore in the glass ceramics. The results indicate that U has a high occupancy rate of approximately 0.7 f.u. at the A position of pyrochlore, and the crystal pyrochlore phase in the glass matrix can increase or decrease according to the U amount in the waste. Specifically, at a high occupancy rate and crystallization amount, the U loads reach 20 wt% in the sample, which exceeds the reported 16 wt% maximal U loads of pyrochlore-based glass ceramics. Furthermore, all the samples have excellent mechanical properties and chemical stabilities. The bulk density of each sample is more than 90% the theoretical density, which is 10–20% higher than those of the glass ceramics prepared by pressure sintering. Moreover, the Vickers hardness values of all samples exceed 6 GPa, and the U leaching rate after 21 days is only 6.7 × 10⁻⁵ g m⁻² d⁻¹, which is an order of magnitude lower than those of brannerite glass ceramics under equal leaching conditions.     

基于数据驱动理念的电力日负荷曲线预测方法研究

针对短期日负荷预测的精度问题,本文提出一种基于数据驱动理念的电力负荷预测方法。在建立预测模型前对所给数据采取一定的预处理:首先提取所收集的海量数据的负荷特征,对负荷特征进行分析,然后进行负荷数据与影响负荷值的因素之间的相关性分析,以此确定对负荷影响较密切的因素,随后建立分类器得到各主要影响因素与各负荷类别之间的关系为后续预测模型奠定基础。对预处理后得到的不同类型的负荷数据采用最小二乘支持向量机方法建立不同的负荷预测模型。以南方某发达城市2008年的负荷数据作为算例验证数据,将本文所提负荷预测方法所得结果与未经数据预处理的负荷预测方法所得结果进行比较,结果表明本文提出的方法得到的预测结果精度较传统方法提高约6%。     

爆破作用下预制共线裂纹的扩展机理研究

为了研究爆破作用下裂纹的扩展规律,从而进一步指导裂隙发育岩体爆破设计。试验运用深部岩石三轴动静载荷实验系统对含有预制裂纹的混凝土试件逐一加载,得到混凝土试件抗压强度;并采用高速摄像机对试件中裂纹起裂拓展过程进行全程拍摄,与加载曲线对照,得到裂纹起裂时垂向初始压力。研究表明:在一定范围内,试件所受围压越大,其裂纹起裂时所需压力越大;次裂纹的存在会使得主裂纹端部更容易在外力作用下起裂,且主裂纹内侧端部所受影响要大于外侧端部,这种影响程度的大小与次裂纹长度、裂纹间距等因素有关;围压越小、裂纹夹角越大、次裂纹长度越大、裂纹间距越小,主裂纹端部越容易起裂。     

Predicting the damage development in epoxy resins using an anisotropic damage model

For fiber-reinforced plastics, the strain-rate dependent response is governed by the matrix behavior. In this work, the Goldberg model is considered for the epoxy matrix constitutive material model. Moreover, the strain-rate dependency is achieved by direct influence on the elastic modulus, the inelastic strain, and the material strain to failure. In addition, an anisotropic damage response is implemented and extended through a strain-rate dependent definition. Since the constitutive model relies on nonphysical parameters, a parameter study is further performed. Additional numerical investigations using a micro-mechanical model are performed. Tension and shear loading conditions are evaluated and the influence of different strain rates is explored. Furthermore, the implemented anisotropic damage model is compared and discussed against an isotropic damage model.     

Point contact abrasive wear behavior of MAX phase materials

The room temperature abrasive wear behavior of three selected MAX phases, Ti₃SiC₂, solution strengthened Ti_2.7Zr_0.3SiC₂ and Cr₂AlC, is investigated by low velocity scratch testing using a diamond conical indentor with a final radius of 100 μm and a cone angle of 120° and applied loads of up to 20 N. All three materials showed a relatively low wear resistance in comparison to most engineering ceramics such as Al₂O_3, Si₃N₄ and SiC. For all three materials, the wear rate scaled more or less linearly with the applied load. The softer Ti₃SiC₂ with a hardness of 2.8 GPa showed the lowest wear resistance with extensive ploughing and grain breakout damage, both within and outside the direct wear track, in particular at the highest load. The hardest material, Ti_2.7Zr_0.3SiC₂, with a hardness of 7.3 GPa, showed a 5 times better wear resistance. The Cr₂AlC with a hardness of 4.8 GPa showed a wear resistance equal to or even better than that of the Ti_2.7Zr_0.3SiC₂. The wear mechanism depends on the applied load and the microstructure of the MAX phase materials tested. For the Ti₃SiC₂ sample, a quasi-plastic deformation behavior occurs below a point load of 10 N, resulting in grain bending, kink band formation and delamination, grain de-cohesion, as well as trans-and intra-granular fracture near the scratch groove. At this load, the Ti_2.7Zr_0.3SiC₂ and Cr₂AlC MAX samples display plastic ploughing, grain boundary cracks and material dislodgments.

Nanoindentation and scratch behaviour of Ni–P electroless coatings

ABSTRACT

In the present paper, the mechanical properties and the scratch failure mechanisms of Ni–P electroless coatings are described. The material microstructure was studied in as-deposited and annealed conditions through SEM and EDS analyses. Nanoindentation measurements on the coatings showed a remarkable hardening due to the crystallization and precipitation behaviour produced by annealing. The scratch tests, conducted by increasing the load during scratch, revealed the coating failure mechanisms in a broad range of applied stresses up to delamination.
