Thermal properties of hierarchical YSZ and LZO ceramic microspheres with multi-scaled voids investigated by using theoretical,experimental and simulation methods

Heat transfer within ceramic feedstock powders is still unclear, which impedes optimization of the thermal and mechanical properties of the thermal sprayed coatings. The microspheres (yttria-stabilized zirconia YSZ and lanthanum zirconate LZO) were prepared via the electro-spraying assisted phase inversion method (ESP). The thermal properties of the two ESP microspheres and a commercial hollow spherical powder (HOSP) were investigated by using theoretical, experimental, and simulation methods. Thermal conductivity of the single microsphere was estimated via a novel nest model that was derived from the Maxwell-Eucken 1 and the EMT model. Thermal conductivity of a single YSZ/LZO-ESP microsphere prepared at 1100–1200 °C was within 0.36–0.75 W/m K, which was ～ 20 % lower than that of a single YSZ-HOSP microsphere with a similar porosity. Heat flux simulation showed that high tortuosity around the multi-scaled voids of the ESP microsphere led to a more efficient decrease in thermal conductivity compared with total porosity.     

Anodic corrosion of heteroatom doped graphene oxide supports and its influence on the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction

Transition metal-based electrocatalysts supported on carbon substrates face the challenges of anodic corrosion of carbon during oxygen evolution reaction at high oxidation potential. The role of electrophilic functional groups (carbonyl, pyridinic, thiol, etc.) incorporated in graphene oxide has been studied towards the anodic corrosion resistance. Heteroatom functionalized carbon supports possess modified electronic properties, surface oxygen content, and hydrophilicity, which are crucial in governing electrochemical corrosion in the alkaline oxidative environment. Evidently, electron-withdrawing groups in NGO support (pyridinic, cyano, nitro, etc) and its lower oxygen content impart maximum corrosion resistance and anodic stability in comparison to the other sulfur-doped and co-doped graphene oxide support. In this report, we establish the baseline evaluation of carbon-supported OER electrocatalysts by a systematic analysis of activity and substrate corrosion resistance. The result of this study establishes the role of surface composition of the doped supports while for designing a stable, corrosion-resistant OER electrocatalyst.

No-Reference Video Quality Assessment using novel hybrid features and two-stage hybrid regression for score level fusion

This paper presents a novel No-Reference Video Quality Assessment (NR-VQA) model that utilizes proposed 3D steerable wavelet transform-based Natural Video Statistics (NVS) features as well as human perceptual features. Additionally, we proposed a novel two-stage regression scheme that significantly improves the overall performance of quality estimation. In the first stage, transform-based NVS and human perceptual features are separately passed through the proposed hybrid regression scheme: Support Vector Regression (SVR) followed by Polynomial curve fitting. The two visual quality scores predicted from the first stage are then used as features for the similar second stage. This predicts the final quality scores of distorted videos by achieving score level fusion. Extensive experiments were conducted using five authentic and four synthetic distortion databases. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other published state-of-the-art benchmark methods on synthetic distortion databases and is among the top performers on authentic distortion databases.

Predicting the mechanical properties of Cu–Al2O3 nanocomposites using machine learning and finite element simulation of indentation experiments

Micromechanics model, finite element (FE) simulation of microindentation and machine learning were deployed to predict the mechanical properties of Cu–Al₂O₃ nanocomposites. The micromechanical model was developed based on the rule of mixture and grain and grain boundary sizes evolution to predict the elastic modulus of the produced nanocomposites. Then, a FE model was developed to simulate the microindentation test. The input for the FE model was the elastic modulus that was computed using the micromechanics model and wide range of yield and tangent stresses values. Finally, the output load-displacement response from the FE model, the elastic modulus, the yield and tangent strengths used for the FE simulations, and the residual indentation depth were used to train the machine learning model (Random vector functional link network) for the prediction of the yield and tangent stresses of the produced nanocomposites. Cu–Al₂O₃ nanocomposites with different Al₂O₃ concentration were manufactured using insitu chemical method to validate the proposed model. After training the model, the microindentation experimental load-displacement curve for Cu–Al₂O₃ nanocomposites was fed to the machine learning model and the mechanical properties were obtained. The obtained mechanical properties were in very good agreement with the experimental ones achieving 0.99 coefficient of determination R2 for the yield strength.     

Optimal Design of Novel Electromagnetic-Ring Active Balancing Actuator with Radial Excitation

Imbalance vibration is a typical failure mode of rotational machines and has significant negative effects on the effii-ciency,accuracy,and service life of equipment.To automatically reduce the imbalance vibration during the opera-tional process,different types of active balancing actuators have been designed and widely applied in actual produc-tion.However,the existing electromagnetic-ring active balancing actuator is designed based on an axial excitation structure which can cause structural instability and has low electromagnetic driving efficiency.In this paper,a novel radial excitation structure and the working principle of an electromagnetic-ring active balancing actuator with a combined driving strategy are presented in detail.Then,based on a finite element model,the performance param-eters of the actuator are analyzed,and reasonable design parameters are obtained.Self-locking torque measurements and comparative static and dynamic experiments are performed to validate the self-locking torque and driving effi-ciency of the actuator.The results indicate that this novel active balancing actuator has sufficient self-locking torque,achieves normal step rotation at 2000 r/min,and reduces the driving voltage by 12.5％.The proposed novel balancing actuator using radial excitation and a combination of permanent magnets and soft-iron blocks has improved electro-magnetic efficiency and a more stable and compact structure.
