Microstructural Evolution During the Hot Deformation of Ti-55Ni (at. pct) Intermetallic Alloy

The hot deformation behavior of Ti-55Ni (at. pct) alloy was studied using compression testing at 1173 K (900 °C) to 1323 K (1050 °C) and at the strain rates of 0.001 to 0.35 s⁻¹. The microstructure evolution was characterized using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influences of hot-working parameters on the flow stress and microstructural features of this alloy were then analyzed. The results indicate that, depending on the temperature and strain rate, the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) is the dominate mechanism. Besides, the particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN) mechanism could partially recrystallize the structure. The PSN phenomenon is of significant importance for the Ti-55Ni (at. pct) that suffers from insufficient workability because of its high content of intermetallic phases. It is of interest that the discontinuous yielding phenomenon has been observed when the specimens were deformed at 1173 K (900 °C). Finally, the optimum parameters for hot working of Ti-55Ni (at. pct) alloy are determined as well.     

Energy and economic aspects of synthesis gas production from oil sludge and plastic waste

A series of experiments have been performed to investigate the influence of reaction temperature, the equivalence ratio (ER), and blending ratio on the gas composition, tar content and higher heating value (HHV) of synthesis gas. H₂ content decreased from 10.7 to 8.2% in the range of BR while CO and CH₄ increased from 17.4 to 23.1% and 3.4 to 6.3%, respectively. HHV increased with BR and H₂/CO showed an opposite trend. The highest HHV and H₂/CO were obtained at 100%PW and 100%OS, respectively. Tar content increased from 4.8 to 9.5?g/Nm³ with BR increasing in the range because of a reduction in the endothermic nature of volatile combustion.     

单翼迷宫式滴灌带抗热氧老化性能的影响研究

单翼迷宫式滴灌带产品新国家标准中增加了氧化诱导时间（OIT）,这对产品的抗热氧老化性能提出了要求。本文从滴灌带配方出发,讨论了产品原料与其OIT的料效关系,结果表明,防老化母料的加入比例对滴灌带的OIT影响最大,增加其比例可增大滴灌带的OIT;高密度聚乙烯（PE?HD）的加入比例对滴灌带的OIT影响大于线性低密度聚乙烯（PE?LLD）和低密度聚乙烯（PE?LD）的加入比例,增加PE?HD比例、减小PE?LLD和PE?LD比例可增大滴灌带的OIT;PE?LD的加入比例对滴灌带OIT的影响最小,在配方设计时应综合使用比例合理的PE?HD、PE?LLD、PE?LD以满足滴灌带良好的加工和其他性能要求;防老化母料中稳定剂比例不应随成本而减少,稳定剂比例增大时,滴灌带的OIT增大;通过对滴灌带的熔体质量流动速率（MFR）、炭黑含量及OIT指标测试,得出滴灌带MFR和炭黑含量与其OIT无明显的相互变化关系。

Production Lot-Sizing Under Learning Effects: An Efficient Solution Technique

In this paper, we consider a production-inventory model which assumes that learning occurs as a function of the number of units produced. We analyze two cases: the first case allows for no forgetting between production runs and the second case (a generalization of the first case) allows for some given degree of forgetting between production runs. In the first case, we show that learning only has an impact on initial lot-sizes for large order quantities and that steady state lot-sizes will approach the traditional EOQ amount. In addition, we show that succeeding lot-sizes are always nonincreasing. Applying these results to the second case when forgetting occurs, we develop efficient heuristic algorithms with complexity O(N logN) to determine order quantities. Results from our algorithms are compared to optimal solutions; these comparisons indicate that our algorithms usually provide solutions within one percent of the optimal cost.     

Combined deadbeat control of a series-parallel convertercombination used as a universal power filter

This paper presents the notion of combined control of a system of interconnected power electronic converters. The concept is demonstrated using a three-phase series-parallel active power filter as an example. The described active power filter consists of a series-parallel combination of two full bridge VSIs capable of arbitrarily controlling the input current and output voltage. The proposed control scheme treats the converter combination as a single unit and uses the inverse system model to generate deadbeat control response for both input current and output voltage. A full-order predictive state observer is used to reduce the number of sensors. Simulation results show better disturbance rejection characteristics of the proposed control when compared to the separately controlled converter scheme     

A fast on-line neural-network training algorithm for a rectifierregulator

This paper addresses the problem of deadbeat control in fully controlled high-power factor rectifiers. Improved deadbeat control can be achieved through the use of neural network-based predictors for the input current reference to the rectifier. In this application, online training is absolutely required. In order to achieve sufficiently fast online training, a new random search algorithm is presented and evaluated. Simulation results show that this type of network training yields equivalent performance to standard backpropagation training. Unlike backpropagation, however, the random weight change method can be implemented in mixed digital/analog hardware for this application. The paper proposes a very large-scale integration implementation which achieves a training epoch as low as 8 μs
