Microstructure and Properties of Micro-Alloyed Mg-2.0Nd-0.2Sr by Heat Treatment and Extrusion

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have broad application prospects in the fields such as biomedical materials and automobile manufacturing. A micro-alloyed Mg-2.0Nd-0.2Sr (wt.%) magnesium alloy is designed and obtained through semicontinuous casting. The evolution of microstructures and tensile properties are investigated with different heat treatments and extrusion treatments. The grain sizes decrease significantly after extrusion, thus changing the fracture mode during the tensile testing process. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS) and elongation (EL) of the properly processed extrusion alloy (referred to as MNS-E2) reach to 247 MPa, 228 MPa and 24%, respectively. The dramatical improvement of mechanical properties results from the refined grains and interactions between dislocations and precipitates. Some nanoparticle bands blocking the slippage and movement of dislocations are also found in the MNS-E2 alloy. The above causes combined result in an integrated effect of grain boundary strengthening, dislocation strengthening, precipitation strengthening and nanoparticle band strengthening. The contribution of strengthening mechanisms of MNS-E2 alloy consists of grain boundary with around 96 MPa, dislocations with around 3.4 MPa, precipitation strengthening with around 45 MPa and the nanoparticle band with around 18 MPa, respectively.     

Design criteria for impact factors based on dynamic on-site data in railway bridges

To evaluate the dynamic behaviours of bridges, many researchers have analysed interactions between vehicles and bridges with numerical methods instead of field loading tests. However, conventional numerical methods take too much time and cost to evaluate the impact factor of bridges in design and maintenance practice. The objective of this study was to propose improved design criteria by using impact factors based on natural frequency rather than span length of railway bridges using dynamic field load-carrying capacity test database. The improved design criteria use a different methodology than that outlined in the International Union of Railway specifications Code. Statistical regressions are applied to more easily estimate the natural frequency of a bridge with a span length of 20?m or longer with steel plate girder or truss superstructures. Calculated impact factors were compared to impact factors obtained from field measurements. Results indicated that the improved method could provide a very reliable estimation for actual impact factors. Since the suggested impact factor criteria are conservative, the proposed method can be used in design and management stages to consider dynamic effects of railway bridges in a more intuitive manner.     

Monitoring wind effects of a landfall typhoon on a 600 m high skyscraper

This article presents the observations of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and wind effects on a 600 m high skyscraper during a landfall typhoon. Wind structure and characteristics throughout the entire ABL are presented and discussed based on records from a Doppler radar wind profiler and near-ground measurements at several meteorological stations. Wind speed profiles with the feature of low-level jets and radial-distance and exposure dependences of gradient height are stressed. Afterwards, wind-induced pressures on building surfaces of the skyscraper are investigated with highlights on non-Gaussian probability distributions of negative pressures and vortex shedding occurred alternately at two sides of the building. The structural responses measured by both accelerometers and strain gauges are analyzed subsequently. Modal parameters of the skyscraper and their dependence on response amplitude are presented and discussed. This study aims to provide useful information for the wind-resistant design of skyscrapers in tropic cyclone-prone regions.     

TiZrNiCu/Ti60润湿性及与TiBw-TC4钎焊研究

本文采用座滴法在真空下系统研究了硼含量对TiZrNiCu/Ti60润湿性的影响,且在940°C保温10分钟条件下实现了与的钎焊。通过SEM、XRD以及剪切实验研究了界面显微组织及剪切力学性能。添加B元素可以与Ti原位合成TiBw,从而细化界面的显微组织。当B含量为0.3 wt %时,TiBw-TC4 /TiZrNiCu-B/Ti60接头的最大剪切强度为177 MPa,比无B含量的接头强度高65%。然而,过量的B含量使TiZrNiCu-B在Ti60合金基体上产生大量的TiBw,导致润湿性恶化,在钎焊接头形成微孔和未焊合区域,从而使剪切强度下降。

粉煤灰-酒糟混合基质的植物生长试验研究

利用粉煤灰和酒糟的理化特性,将二者按照一定比例配成混合基质,通过白花三叶草的盆栽试验,分析种植前后混合基质的理化特性及三叶草的生长情况,并检测基质和植株中的重金属含量.结果表明:当粉煤灰与酒糟的质量比为4:1时,基质最适合三叶草的生长,而且基质和植株体内的重金属含量均未超出国家标准.因此,可以将该基质作为矿区塌陷地的复垦基质.
