Preparation,structure and microwave dielectric properties of novel La2MgGeO6 ceramics with hexagonal structure and adjustment of its τf value

A novel La₂MgGeO₆ ceramic was synthesized through a solid-state reaction process within a sintering temperature range of 1450–1550 °C. By a combination of X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement analyses, the ceramics were found to have a pure hexagonal phase structure belonging to space group R3/146. The scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the ceramic grains were closely connected. The effects of internal (lattice energy, valence bond, and fraction packing) and external factors (density) on the microwave properties of ceramics were also studied. The ceramic exhibited excellent microwave dielectric performances, with a relative permittivity (?_r) of 21.2, a quality factor (Q × f) of 52 360 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ_f) of ?44.2 ppm/°C, when sintered at 1500 °C for 4 h. The τ_f value of the La₂MgGeO₆ ceramic doped with CaTiO₃ could be adjusted to zero. Particularly, 0.2La₂MgGeO₆-0.8CaTiO₃ ceramics have good microwave dielectric properties with τ_f = +2.1 ppm/°C, Q × f = 15 610 GHz, and ?_r = 40.3.     

基于灰色关联度的微孔端面机械密封开启力共性影响参数分析

目前微孔端面机械密封采用的几何参数繁多,缺乏明确物理意义。为找出跨孔型的共性几何参数,基于Fluent多相流空化模型,针对矩形孔、菱形孔、椭圆孔端面机械密封,建立密封间隙流体的三维数值计算模型,计算得到144条开启力数据;在分析开启力和几何尺寸之间的关系、额外开启力产生机制的基础上,提出等效长度和等效宽度2个具有物理意义的几何参数;采用灰色关联度分析法,分析和验证等效长度、等效宽度、方向角、面积比对开启力的影响,发现4个因素对3种微孔密封的间隙流体开启力都有影响,但等效长度与等效宽度的影响较方向角、面积比大。     

Microstructure,hardness, toughness and abrasive wear resistance of 16.0 wt. % chromium white iron after continuous and cyclic destabilisation treatment

Destabilisation of as-cast chromium white iron with 16 wt-% chromium are performed by continuous destabilisation treatment for 4 h and short duration (0.66 h) cyclic destabilisation treatment at 900, 950, 1000, 1050, and 1100 °C. Continuous destabilisation causes secondary carbides precipitation from austenite which on slow cooling transforms to pearlite matrix. Cyclic destabilisation treatment causes similar precipitation of finer secondary carbides following shorter period austenitisation and a matrix containing martensite and retained austenite on forced-air cooling. After continuous destabilisation, hardness falls below the as-cast value (HV622); whereas it rises to HV950 after cyclic destabilisation treatment. The as-cast notched impact toughness (4.0 J) increases to 8.5 J or more after both continuous and cyclic destabilisation at 1050 and 1100 °C. Abrasive wear resistance after continuous destabilisation improves only at higher wear load (49.0 N), while after cyclic destabilisation it supersedes the as-cast and Ni-Hard IV performance at both low (19.6 N) and high (49.9 N) wear load.     

Supply chain network design under the risk of uncertain disruptions

Facility disruptions in the supply chain often lead to catastrophic consequences, although they occur rarely. The low frequency and non-repeatability of disruptive events also make it impossible to estimate the disruption probability accurately. Therefore, we construct an uncertain programming model to design the three-echelon supply chain network with the disruption risk, in which disruptions are considered as uncertain events. Under the constraint of satisfying customer demands, the model optimises the selection of retailers with uncertain disruptions and the assignment of customers and retailers, in order to minimise the expected total cost of network design. In addition, we simplify the proposed model by analysing its properties and further linearise the simplified model. A Lagrangian relaxation algorithm for the linearised model and a genetic algorithm for the simplified model are developed to solve medium-scale problems and large-scale problems, respectively. Finally, we illustrate the effectiveness of proposed models and algorithms through several numerical examples.
