Effect of deposition modes on electron beam directed energy deposited inconel 718

Inconel 718 thin walls were fabricated via electron beam directed energy deposition (EB-EDE) to investigated their microstructure and mechanical properties in terms of the deposition modes. Results revealed that the deposition modes had great effects on the microstructural evolution and thus influenced the mechanical properties. The layered nature and the fine dendrites were produced by the intermittent deposition, while the coarse and irregular cellular crystals were formed under the continuous deposition. The harmful Laves phase was precipitated under both deposition modes. The microhardness and tensile strength of the build-ups deposited intermittently were higher because there were fewer Laves phase. This work provided a new perspective to explain the microstructure differences of multi-layered components formed by EB-DED.     

Clustering biomedical and gene expression datasets with kernel density and unique neighborhood set based vein detection

It is a crucial need for a clustering technique to produce high-quality clusters from biomedical and gene expression datasets without requiring any user inputs. Therefore, in this paper we present a clustering technique called KUVClust that produces high-quality clusters when applied on biomedical and gene expression datasets without requiring any user inputs. The KUVClust algorithm uses three concepts namely multivariate kernel density estimation, unique closest neighborhood set and vein-based clustering. Although these concepts are known in the literature, KUVClust combines the concepts in a novel manner to achieve high-quality clustering results. The performance of KUVClust is compared with established clustering techniques on real-world biomedical and gene expression datasets. The comparisons were evaluated in terms of three criteria (purity, entropy, and sum of squared error (SSE)). Experimental results demonstrated the superiority of the proposed technique over the existing techniques for clustering both the low dimensional biomedical and high dimensional gene expressions datasets used in the experiments.

Toward a model of socializing project team members: An integrative approach

Project work is becoming more and more important in everyday business, as is staffing the right newcomers for the project. Recognizing that not all new project team workers possess equally important specific knowledge, skills and abilities for the success of projects, we draw on project management, human resource management, and organizational socialization literature to develop a framework on how new project team members might be socialized, depending on their strategic value for the project. We specifically draw on the socialization tactics literature and propose how four categories of new employees – Internal specialists, External specialists, External generalists and Internal generalists; based on two dimensions – work task complexity and employment mode, can be socialized more effectively. Implications for theory and practice are discussed as well.     

Robust SVM-direct torque control of induction motor based on sliding mode controller and sliding mode observer

This paper proposes a design of control and estimation strategy for induction motor based on the variable structure approach. It describes a coupling of sliding mode direct torque control (DTC) with sliding mode flux and speed observer. This algorithm uses direct torque control basics and the sliding mode approach. A robust electromagnetic torque and flux controllers are designed to overcome the conventional SVM-DTC drawbacks and to ensure fast response and full reference tracking with desired dynamic behavior and low ripple level. The sliding mode controller is used to generate reference voltages in stationary frame and give them to the controlled motor after modulation by a space vector modulation (SVM) inverter. The second aim of this paper is to design a sliding mode speed/flux observer which can improve the control performances by using a sensorless algorithm to get an accurate estimation, and consequently, increase the reliability of the system and decrease the cost of using sensors. The effectiveness of the whole composed control algorithm is investigated in different robustness tests with simulation using Matlab/Simulink and verified by real time experimental implementation based on dS pace 1104 board.     

Comprehensive reliability evaluation of multistate complex electromechanical systems based on similarity of cloud models

High reliability and security have become the hallmarks of complex electromechanical systems. Owing to the difficulties in fault data collection, ambiguity and uncertainty have been inevitably associated with complex electromechanical systems. Thus, the ability to perform reliability evaluation using scarce fault data is of immense significance to these machines and is the focus of this study. A similarity based cloud model is proposed to evaluate the running state of complex electromechanical systems. By combining objective and subjective factors, the reliability of complex electromechanical systems is evaluated by calculating the similarity between the cloud models of actual and standardised states. Next, the inverter of an offshore wind turbine is used to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed approach. The cloud model based framework for reliability evaluation inherits the preponderance of the uncertainty problem, overcomes the drawbacks of the current reliability approaches, and provides a theoretical basis, as well as a practical approach for the maintenance and repair of complex electromechanical systems with missing fault data. Additionally, it also provides a new methodology for solving the uncertainty problems caused by paucity of data.

不规则三角网是影响土石方量计算的关键问题之一，虽然目前已有大量研究人员对Delaunay三角网进行优化，但仍然缺少对三角网生成速率和计算精度的综合研究。针对此问题，基于VB.NET平台的点、边以及三角形的结构化数据结构设计快速生成凸闭包集形成Delaunay三角网，通过四边形空圆特性以及对角线最短原则对构网结果进行检验和优化。试验计算表明，该算法的计算结果与经典DTM法、方格网法的土方量计算相对误差均在0.30%以内。该方法不仅具有较高的组网效率，并能保持较好的计算精度。     

Dynamic tensile mechanical properties and failure mode of zirconium diboride-silicon carbide ceramic composites

Dynamic indirect tension experiments were performed on zirconium diboride-silicon carbide (ZrB₂−20%SiC) ceramic. Flattened Brazilian disc specimens of ZrB₂−20%SiC were prepared to conduct dynamic tensile tests using the modified Split Hopkinson pressure bar system. The tensile experiments were completed at the range of loading rates from 7.53 to 74.71 GP s⁻¹. The tensile experimental results revealed that the zirconium diboride-silicon carbide ceramic composite is rate-sensitive in terms of the tensile strength and failure mode. The dynamic tensile strength increases linearly with the loading rate and changes from 195 MPa at 7.53 GP s⁻¹ to 654 MPa at 74.71 GP s⁻¹. Moreover, the dynamic tensile strength decreases with the increase in critical fracture time, which conforms to Tuler and Butcher's fracture criterion. In dynamic experiments, a high-speed camera was used to examine the tensile failure process, and fragments were collected to analyze the dynamic tensile failure mechanism. The tensile fracture mode of ZrB₂−20%SiC obviously showed the sensitivity of the loading rate. The fragment size of ZrB₂−20%SiC ceramic decreased but the quantity of fragments increased as the loading rate increased.     

间隙配合变轨距轮对与轨道间瞬态滚滑接触模拟研究

变轨距技术是实现不同轨距铁路联运的重要手段，我国相关研究仍在起步阶段。基于显式有限元法，建立包含渐开线花键副的三维变轨距轮对-轨道耦合瞬态分析模型，于时域内模拟速度高至400 km/h下的瞬态轮轨滚滑和花键间动态接触行为及其相互影响。模型充分考虑轮轨和花键副三维几何、系统高频结构振动等，引入时变牵引/制动转矩，采用集成库仑摩擦定律的"面-面"接触算法求解轮轨接触和花键接触。假设圆柱直齿渐开线花键，齿数取32，齿侧间隙恒0.1 mm，无激励下模拟结果表明，花键副的存在使得轮轨力波动范围大于传统轮对，例如，400 km/h下法向轮轨力波动幅值增加静载的3.7%。时速400 km/h和牵引系数0.05下，内外花键的径向和角向偏置使得花键左、右两侧各存在1个位置相对固定的承载区，各涉及5~6个键齿，承载面分别为II和I键齿工作面。瞬态法、切向接触应力极值发生在靠近一系悬挂侧的齿根或齿顶部，典型值分别为102 MPa和4.6 MPa，任一键齿的应力极值因不断有键齿进出承载区而波动上升和下降。牵引系数0.3时，左侧承载区消失，右侧承载区扩至18个键齿，相同时刻下的法、切向接触应力极值因承载齿数和总接触面积增加变为89 MPa和5.2 MPa。为变轨距机构中花键的强度和动力学分析及相关设计提供精确模拟手段。
