Titanium alloys are processed to develop a wide range of microstructure configurations and therefore material properties. While these properties are typically measured experimentally, a framework for property prediction could greatly enhance alloy design and manufacturing. Here a microstructure-sensitive framework is presented for the prediction of strength and ductility as well as estimates of the bounds in variability for these properties. The framework explicitly considers distributions of microstructure via new approaches for instantiation of structure in synthetic samples. The parametric evaluation strategy, including the finite element simulation package FEpX, is used to create and test virtual polycrystalline samples to evaluate the variability bounds of mechanical properties in Ti-6Al-4V. Critical parameters for the property evaluation framework are provided by measurements of single crystal properties and advanced characterization of microstructure and slip system strengths in 2D and 3D. Property distributions for yield strength and ductility are presented, along with the validation and verification steps undertaken. Comparisons between strain localization and slip activity in virtual samples and in experimental grain-scale strain measurements are also discussed.

Electricity generation through fossil fuels has caused environmental pollution. Accordingly, research on new renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal heat, etc.) to replace fossil fuels and solve this problem is in progress. These devices can consistently generate power. However, they have several drawbacks, such as high installation costs and limitations in possible set-up environments. Therefore, the piezoelectric harvesting technology, which is able to overcome the limitations of existing energy technologies, is actively being studied. The piezoelectric harvesting technology uses the piezoelectric effect, which occurs in crystals that generate voltage when stress is applied. Its advantages include a wider installation base and a lower technological cost. This study investigated a piezoelectric energy-harvesting device based on constant wave motion. This device can harvest power in a constant turbulent flow in the middle of the sea. The components of the device are circuitry, percussion bar, triple layer piezoelectric bender, bearing and rudder. A multiphysical analysis coupled with the structure and piezoelectric elements was also conducted to estimate the device performance. The analysis accuracy was improved by applying the impact energy to the bender calculated based on the shape of the wave in the East Sea. The proposed device’s performance was finally confirmed by experiments. 相似文献
The advent of smart factories has resulted in the frequent utilization of industrial robots within factories to increase production automation and efficiency. Due to the increase in the number of industrial robots, it has become more important to prevent any unexpected breakdowns of the factory. As a result, the lifespan prediction of machinery has become a crucial factor because such failures can be directly associated with factory productivity resulting in significant losses. Most of the failures occur within one of the core components of the robot arm, the servo motor, and thus we will focus on the analysis of the servo motor in this study. However, sensor attachment to such equipment is considered difficult due to the dynamic movement of the robot arm, meaning that internal instrumentation should be utilized during analysis. In addition, no definite measure to determine the degradation of the motor exists, and thus a new degradation index is proposed in this study. Therefore, in this study, the lifespan of the servo motor will be estimated through accelerated degradation testing methods based on a new system degradation assessment method, which estimates the fault of the system using observer-based residuals with encoder data obtained from internal instrumentation. 相似文献
In the previous research, shaft torsional flexibility was only considered in the wind turbine drivetrain. However, if shaft is longer and thinner than other parts, two components which are connected by shaft affect each other by rotation about bending axis. It means that there are deflections of shaft about not only torsional direction but also bending direction. In this research, we introduced spherical joint which have 3 spring stiffness about all rotational axis to define shaft. And we analyzed that how shaft bending affect drivetrain rotation, translation motion and gear mesh contact force. To do these processes, we simulated the 3-dimensional wind turbine drive train model which has bearing stiffness, gear mesh stiffness, and shaft flexibility. The gear mesh stiffness was defined by Fourier series. And the equation of motion was acquired by Lagrange equation and kinematical constraints to represent shaft flexibility. About numerical analysis, the Newmark method was used to get results. Lastly, fast Fourier transform which converts results from time domain to frequency was used. 相似文献
The role of oxygen-limitation on lipid oxidation and moisture content were tested in corn oil heated to 60, 100, and 140 °C. The degree of oxidation was determined by analyzing headspace oxygen content, conjugated dienoic acids (CDA), and p-anisidine value (p-AV). The moisture content in bulk oil was analyzed by the Karl Fischer method. Oxygen-limited samples heated to 100 and 140 °C had significantly more lipid oxidation than oxygen-unlimited samples at early timepoints (p < 0.05). After this period, the oxygen-unlimited samples had more lipid oxidation based on CDA and p-AV assays. During those initial periods, oxygen-limited samples had significantly higher moisture content than oxygen-unlimited samples (p < 0.05), which implies that moisture content in oils plays an important role in the rate of lipid oxidation. The increased moisture content in bulk oil under oxygen-limited conditions is due to headspace moisture rather than moisture inside the oil. However, the effects of oxygen-limitation on lipid oxidation were less clear at 60 °C than at 100 or 140 °C. 相似文献
