On a certain inverse problem of temperature and thermal stress fields

Summary The paper discusses the method of solution of an inverse problem of one-dimensional temperature and stress fields for a sphere, a circular cylinder and an infinite plate. The inverse problem describes the dependance of the boundary conditions of different types on the prescribed temperature state or stress state within the body under consideration, in contrast with the direct problem which relates the temperature and stress states to known boundary conditions. To obtain a function describing the temperature of a heating medium and/or the Biot number in a simple form use has been made of the Laplace transformation. The numerical examples for both types of the inverse problems are presented.

Effect of Intense Self-Irradiation on the Phase Composition of Metallic Plutonium

The crystal structure of film samples of "high-level" (based on ²³⁸Pu) and low-level (based on ²³⁹Pu) metallic plutonium during their prolonged (up to 343 days) storage (self-irradiation) at room temperature was studied by X-ray diffraction. In the samples of high-level plutonium, the -Pu and -Pu lattices coexist. In the period of 40-60 days, the other known crystal modifications of plutonium (-Pu, -Pu, -Pu, and -Pu) are also present. Low-level plutonium had only the -Pu lattice. A possible origin of this phenomenon is discussed.     

Solid state phase transformation of BaB2O4 during the isothermal annealing process

Solid-state phase transformation of BaB₂O₄ during the isothermal annealing process for both to and to were investigated using a platinum crucible. For the -phase crystal at the -phase stable temperature (> 925 °C), the phase transforms to the phase perfectly below the melting temperature of 1100 °C. Meanwhile, for the -phase crystal at the -phase stable temperature (< 925 °C), the phase transforms to the phase perfectly above 800 °C. There is some difference in phase transformation behaviour between bulk-shape crystals and the powder, caused by thermal stress.

The dielectric properties of alumina substrates for microelectronic packaging

The dielectric characterization of alumina substrate materials used in high-performance microelectronic packaging is described. These materials included both pure and impure polycrystalline substrates and, as a reference standard, pure and chromium-doped single crystals of alumina. For each material the permittivity () and dielectric loss () has been measured over a frequency range of 0.5 kHz to 10 MHz, at room temperature, and correlated with the structure and composition as determined by supplementary techniques. At room temperature the pure substrates show the frequency independence of both and , characteristic of pure single-crystal material. The permittivity (= 10.1) agrees closely with the average of the anisotropic values for the single crystal but the dielectric loss is an order of magnitude higher than in the single crystal, giving tan 1.5 × 10^–3. The impure substrates compared with the pure, show a small increase in and a marked, frequency-dependent increase in dielectric loss. Measurements have also been made in both the high- and low-temperature ranges (i.e. 20 to 600 ° C and 77 to 293 K, respectively) in order to establish the variation of permittivity with temperature and frequency. At temperatures below 200 °C the temperature coefficient of permittivity, [( –1)( + 2)]^–1 (/T) _p is about 9 × 10^–6 K^–1 for the pure materials but this increases rapidly with impurity addition.
