Threshold and growth mechanism of fatigue cracks under mode II and III loadings

ABSTRACT The fatigue crack growth behaviour of 0.47% carbon steel was studied under mode II and III loadings. Mode II fatigue crack growth tests were carried out using specially designed double cantilever (DC) type specimens in order to measure the mode II threshold stress intensity factor range, ΔK_IIth. The relationship ΔK_IIth > ΔK_Ith caused crack branching from mode II to I after a crack reached the mode II threshold. Torsion fatigue tests on circumferentially cracked specimens were carried out to study the mechanisms of both mode III crack growth and of the formation of the factory‐roof crack surface morphology. A change in microstructure occurred at a crack tip during crack growth in both mode II and mode III shear cracks. It is presumed that the crack growth mechanisms in mode II and in mode III are essentially the same. Detailed fractographic investigation showed that factory‐roofs were formed by crack branching into mode I. Crack branching started from small semi‐elliptical cracks nucleated by shear at the tip of the original circumferential crack.     

EFFECTS OF VISCOSITY OF LIQUID FOODS ON PALATAL PRESSURE

The deglutition of non-Newtonian liquids introduced into the mouth was studied dynamically by measuring palatal pressure (P) with pressure transducers set at three locations on the palate. The value of P and the swallowing pressure (S) changed only from 100 to 200 g/cm² over the viscosity range 10⁻² to 10¹ Pa.s. The retaining time (T) and work (W), required for swallowing after the liquid entered the mouth, remained almost constant up to a critical value of 1.0 Pa.s. above which both T and W increased markedly. When the viscosity was low, all of the liquid was swallowed in one deglutition, up to 15 mL volume. Therefore, T was almost constant but S increased with the volume. When the viscosity was high, the liquid was swallowed in several smaller portions. When the volume was high, T increased and S was either constant or it decreased.     

纳米Pt膜的晶粒尺寸及其对热导率的影响

采用电子束-物理气相沉积法（EB-PVD）制备了6个厚度为15-62nm的铂薄膜，研究了纳米薄膜的晶粒尺寸及其对热导率的影响规律．当薄膜厚度小于30nm时，晶粒平均尺寸接近于薄膜的厚度；晶粒尺寸随着薄膜厚度的增加而增大并趋于定值；当薄膜厚度大于30nm时，晶粒尺寸约为20nm．受薄膜的表面和内部晶界的综合影响，铂纳米薄膜的热导率大大低于体材料的值，并且纳米薄膜的热导率随着薄膜厚度的增加而增大并趋于一个低于体材料热导率的值．

采用超高压电镜与离子加速器相连结的复合辐照装置，研究了注He对低活性Fe-Cr-Mn(W，V)合金辐照产生的点缺陷及二次缺陷行为的影响．实验结果表明：辐照初期形成的点缺陷与He相互作用，进而影响二次缺陷(位错、位错环和空洞)的形成；He明显促进位错密度增大和空洞核心形成，并导致空洞肿胀增加．对辐照产生的点缺陷与He相互作用的机理进行了理论分析。     

Fe-Cr-Mn奥氏体合金的辐照体胀与诱起晶界偏析行为的研究SCIEI

本文采用电子束辐照,研究了Fe-15Cr-xMn合金以及添加W,V合金的孔洞体胀和诱起晶界偏析行为,并对包含晶界在内的辐照区进行成分分析。结果表明,在Fe-Cr-Mn系合金中孔洞体胀孕育期可以被强烈抑制,晶界偏析也减少。特别是,合金中添加W,V效果更加明显。用Mn代替Ni,通常要发生体胀和相的不稳定性,由于反Kirkendall效应导致Ni和Mn的扩散行为不同,使Fe富集在尾闾处,局部地区形成铁素体,有利于减少体胀和晶界偏析。

Finite-dimensional adaptive control for infinite-dimensional systems

This paper deals with the design of a finite-dimensional model reference adaptive controller for a distributed parameter system. The space of inputs and the space of outputs are both one dimensional. First an input—output representation is introduced, using filtered values generated from the inputs and outputs. Next it is shown that we can design a finite-dimensional adaptive control system by a new adaptive law. The new adaptive law guarantees the existence of a large region of attraction from which all signals are bounded and the tracking error converges to a small residual set.     

Iron Loss Analysis of Permanent Magnet Motors Fed by PWM Inverter

Carrier harmonic losses that consist of iron loss, eddy current loss, and ac copper loss are produced in a permanent magnet machine driven by a PWM inverter. It is already known that a higher motor inductance can lead to lower carrier harmonic losses. This paper investigates the carrier harmonic loss composition of two motors with identical dimensions but different inductances. The results of finite element analysis (FEA) showed that the eddy current loss in the iron core accounts for most of the carrier harmonic loss. It is also shown that the carrier harmonic loss of the iron core is quantifiable using theoretical calculations.     

Present Status of the Nd:YAG Thomson Scattering System Development for Time Evolution Measurement of Plasma Profile on Heliotron J

A new high repetition rate Nd:YAG Thomson scattering system is developed for the Heliotron J helical device.A main purpose of installing the new system is the temporal evolution measurement of a plasma profile for improved confinement physics such as the edge transport barrier (H-mode) or the internal transport barrier of the helical plasma.The system has 25 spatial points with ～10mm resolution.Two high repetition Nd:YAG lasers (>550mJ@ 50Hz) realize the measurement of the time evolution of the plasma profile with ～10ms time intervals.Scattered light is collected by a large concave mirror (D=800 mm,f/2.25) with a solid angle of ～100 mstr and transferred to interference filter polychromators by optical fiber bundles in a staircase form.The signal is amplified by newly designed fast preamplifiers with DC and AC output,which reduces the low frequency background noise.The signals are digitized with a multi-event QDC,fast gated integrators.The data acquisition is performed by a VME-based system operated by the CINOS.
