Development a multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network model to estimate the Vickers hardness of Mn–Ni–Cu–Mo austempered ductile iron

The hardness of austempered ductile irons is relative to its microstructure, strength, ductility, machinability and wear resistance properties. Therefore, hardness measurement can be used as a simple tool to control the heat treatment, chemical composition and mechanical properties of ADI parts during the production process. The aim of this study is to develop an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for estimating the Vickers hardness of ADIs after austempering treatment. A Multi-Layer Perceptron model (MLP–ANN) was used with Mo%, Cu%, austempering time and temperature as inputs and the Vickers hardness of samples after austempering as the output of the model. A variety of samples were prepared in different conditions of chemical composition and heat treatment cycle. The obtained experimental results were used for training the neural network. Efficiency test of the model showed reasonably good agreement between experimental and numerical results, so the synthesized ANN model can estimate the hardness of the castings with a small error in the range of the experimental results standard deviation.     

Dual band microstrip patch antenna array loaded with split ring resonators and via holes

Reduction in antenna size by using multi-band radiators play a vital role in the miniaturization of present world wireless handheld devices, as dual band behaviour of the antennas result in the integration of more than one communication standard in a single system and thus, saving the installation space required for separate antennas. In this context, this communication presents a shorted-pin dual band metamaterial inspired microstrip patch antenna array. Under the unloaded conditions, the traditional patch antenna array resonates at 5.8 GHz with gain of 9.8 dBi and bandwidth of 540 MHz. However, when each patch of this traditional antenna array is loaded with split ring resonator (SRR) and a metallic via hole is introduced in the patch, the same antenna array produces an additional resonant frequency in IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi band with bandwidth and gain of 290 MHz and 5.6 dBi, respectively, while the initial resonant frequency (i.e. 5.8 GHz) gets shifted to IEEE 802.11ac 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, providing the gain and bandwidth of 11.4 dBi and 510 MHz, respectively. The proposed antenna array has been fabricated, and the measured results are presented to validate the proposed array. Moreover, the equivalent circuit of the proposed antenna array has been designed and analyzed to validate the simulated, measured and theoretical results. Attainment of dual band characteristics by incorporating the metamaterial with single band traditional patch antenna array makes this structure novel, as this has been achieved without any extra hardware cost, size and loss of structural planarity. Also, both the frequency bands of this proposed metamaterial inspired antenna array possess considerable gain and bandwidth.     

灾后混凝土工程快速修补材料的研究

为了确定磷酸盐胶凝材料(MPB)的最佳配合比,研究调凝组份、磷酸盐/MgO(w(P)/w(M))、灰砂比、掺粉煤灰对MPB胶凝材料凝结时间和强度发展等的影响规律,并分析它与传统水泥混凝土间的兼容性及其硬化机理.结果表明:当调凝组份掺量为10%左右时,可使MPB水泥凝结时间控制在15～30 min内.当w(P):w(M)为1:2时,MPB水泥浆体的强度达到最高值,3 h抗压强度可达到40 MPa以上,1 d时强度超过50 MPa.灰砂比(w(MPB):w(S))为1:1.5时,砂浆强度达到最高值,3 h抗压强度达到50 MPa,抗折强度达到9.1 MPa.在保持流动度不变情况下,掺粉煤灰并不降低MPB胶凝材料强度,并可使其颜色与普通水泥混凝土接近.MPB遇水后生成以MgNH_4PO_4·6H_2O为主的反应产物,它与传统水泥混凝土间具有很好兼容性,因而适合于灾后混凝土工程的快速修复.
