The formation of β‐polypropylene crystals in a compatibilized blend of isotactic polypropylene and polyamide‐6

Compatibilized polypropylene (PP)/polyamide (PA6) blends with and without β nucleating agent (β‐NA) are prepared, and are designated as Blend‐0.3 and Blend‐0, respectively. The melting and crystallization characteristic of the blends crystallized under different cooling rates and different crystallization temperatures are studied. It is observed that high β‐PP content can be developed in Blend‐0.3 only at slow cooling rates (<5°C/min), whereas high α‐PP content is formed at fast cooling rates. Isothermal crystallization analysis of Blend‐0 indicates that PA6 is an effective NA for α‐PP in the lower temperature range, whereas the α‐nucleating effect disappears in the higher temperature range. Blend‐0.3 can, therefore, be viewed as a system containing both α‐ and β‐NAs, simultaneously. PA6 is competing with β‐NA in inducing PP crystallization. Under the normal injection of Blend‐0.3, the melt will be cooled through the higher temperature that favors the effectiveness of β‐NA rapidly because of the faster cooling rate. However, the α‐nucleation effect from PA6 predominate at the lower temperature. This explains the difficulty in obtaining high β‐PP content in Blend‐0.3 from injection molding. POLYM. ENG.

A Versatile Iterative Framework for the Reconstruction of Bandlimited Signals from Their Nonuniform Samples

In this paper, we study a versatile iterative framework for the reconstruction of uniform samples from nonuniform samples of bandlimited signals. Assuming the input signal is slightly oversampled, we first show that its uniform and nonuniform samples in the frequency band of interest can be expressed as a system of linear equations using fractional delay digital filters. Then we develop an iterative framework, which enables the development and convergence analysis of efficient iterative reconstruction algorithms. In particular, we study the Richardson iteration in detail to illustrate how the reconstruction problem can be solved iteratively, and show that the iterative method can be efficiently implemented using Farrow-based variable digital filters with few general-purpose multipliers. Under the proposed framework, we also present a completed and systematic convergence analysis to determine the convergence conditions. Simulation results show that the iterative method converges more rapidly and closer to the true solution (i.e. the uniform samples) than conventional iterative methods using truncation of sinc series.     

Multivariate control charts based on loss functions

A new method is given for designing multivariate control charts based on loss functions. The average run length contours of the proposed procedure correspond closely to the contours of the expected loss. The approach is much more efficient in terms of resulting statistical properties than the method of Mohebbi and Hayre (1989). Several bivariate examples are considered.     

Manifestation of external size reduction effects on the yield point of nanocrystalline rhodium using nanopillars approach

In this study, pure rhodium was fabricated and mechanically investigated at the nanoscale for the first time. The nanopillars approach was employed to study the effects of size on the yield point. Nanopillars with different diameters were fabricated using electroplating followed by uniaxial compression tests. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used as a quality control technique by imaging the pillars before and after compression to ensure the absence of cracks, buckling, barrelling or any other problems. Transmission electron microscopy and SEM were used as microstructural characterization techniques. Due to substrate-induced effects, only the plastic region of the stress–strain curves were investigated, and it was revealed that the yield point increases with size reduction up to certain limit, then decreases with further reduction of the nanopillar size (diameter). The later weakening effect is consistent with the literature, which demonstrates the reversed size effect (the failure of the plasticity theory) in nanocrystalline metals, i.e. smaller is weaker. In this study, however, the effect of size reduction is not only weakening, but is strengthening-then-weakening, which the authors believe is the true behavior of nanocrystalline materials.     

44—ASPECTS OF SEAM-STRENGTH PREDICTION: PART II

Physical and mathematical models of strength behaviour to explain the angle-of-bias effects postulated in Part I are further examined and various modifications suggested. Comparison between experimental results on a wide range of woven fabrics and theoretical predictions with the basic model and its modifications is made, and a good fit between experimental results and theoretical predictions is found and described.
