This work presents machinability assessment of AL-6XN super austenitic stainless steel alloy. Cutting forces, surface roughness, work hardening tendency and tool wear were analyzed. The assessment was conducted based on a comparison between the AL-6XN alloy and the well-known alloy in the machining field AISI 316. Finite element analysis (FEA) study was also conducted and used in this assessment. Experimental results showed maximum increase of 70% and 57% in the feed and normal forces of the AL-6XN alloy, respectively. Maximum increase in the work hardening tendency of 59% was recorded for the AL-6XN alloy while only 29% was recorded for the 316 alloy. The roughness analysis recorded an increase of 186% for the AL-6XN alloy compared to the 316 alloy. Tool wear analysis revealed the build-up edge formation, severe chipping, flank and crater wear (CW) during cutting AL-6XN alloy whereas small chipping, flank and CW were noticed during cutting 316 alloy. FEA study showed when the AL-6XN alloy machined using 65 and 94?m/min cutting speeds, the increases (compared to the 316 alloy) were: 12% and 8% in plastic strain; 20% and 20% in stresses; 48% and 100% in residual tensile stresses; 22% and 92% in residual compressive stresses, respectively. 相似文献
The compatibility of a memristor with CMOS technology has attracted the attention of many researchers to explore its application further. In this work, an ultra low-power and low-complexity ultra wideband (UWB) chirp transmitter based on memristive ring oscillator (RO) is designed in 0.18 µm TSMC CMOS technology. The Chirp waveform was chosen because of its low side-lobes and large time-bandwidth product, which allows for more spectrum use. OOK and FSK modulation are supported by the proposed UWB chirp transmitter. The chirp frequency is controlled linearly with time across the pulse duration using memristors. The binary data "1" and "0" are encoded using distinct chirp frequencies in FSK TX. The simulation results show a maximum TX output pulse of 457 mV Vpp with a pulse width of 21 ns. The overall DC power consumption for a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 20 MHz is 0.328 mW, equivalent to an energy consumption of 16.4 pJ/pulse. The simulated output amplitude for OOK TX is 453 mV Vpp with a pulse width of 48 ns and a PSD of ? 10 dB over a frequency range of 3.2 to 4.8 GHz. The overall power consumption at 10 MHz PRF is 0.136 mW, which corresponds to an energy consumption of 13.6 pJ/pulse.
Several studies have shown that the Na-Ca exchange is electrogenic in cardiac tissues and that the current carried by the exchange, iNa-Ca, participates in the development of the cardiac action potential plateau. The aim of the present study was to assess the contribution of iNa-Ca to the development of the plateau in different preparations, i.e. normal and hypertrophied (DOCA-salt) perfused rat hearts, normal and dilated (MS 200 strain) perfused hamster hearts and normal human atrial myocytes and to examine the repercussion of iNa-Ca suppression on the global electrogram of the perfused guinea-pig heart. iNa-Ca was suppressed by briefly substituting lithium for sodium (Li test). In the normal rat heart, the Li test resulted in a depression of the late component of the plateau. In the severely hypertrophied rat heart, the action potential was lengthened, the two components of the plateau barely distinguishable. The part of the plateau suppressed during Li perfusion was not larger in amplitude than in the normal rat heart, but was of much longer duration. In the dilated heart of hamsters older than 60 days of age the shortening effect of the Li test was much larger than in the normal hamster heart indicating a strongly increased contribution of iNa-Ca to the plateau development during dilatation. The contribution of iNa-Ca to the action potential plateau of human atrial myocytes was as large as that found in animal ventricles and varied with the type of cell studied. In the perfused guinea-pig heart the Li test resulted in a sizeable shortening of QT duration and a marked decrease in T wave amplitude suggesting that iNa-Ca may be a major source of current in the building up of the ventricular complex of the electrocardiogram in normal and pathological conditions. 相似文献
Emergent behaviors occur when simple interactions between a system's constituent elements produce properties that the individual elements do not exhibit in isolation. This article reports tunable emergent behaviors observed in domain wall (DW) populations of arrays of interconnected magnetic ring-shaped nanowires under an applied rotating magnetic field. DWs interact stochastically at ring junctions to create mechanisms of DW population loss and gain. These combine to give a dynamic, field-dependent equilibrium DW population that is a robust and emergent property of the array, despite highly varied local magnetic configurations. The magnetic ring arrays’ properties (e.g., non-linear behavior, “fading memory” to changes in field, fabrication repeatability, and scalability) suggest they are an interesting candidate system for realizing reservoir computing (RC), a form of neuromorphic computing, in hardware. By way of example, simulations of ring arrays performing RC approaches 100% success in classifying spoken digits for single speakers. 相似文献

This paper presents comparative analysis of various algorithms of distributed power control used in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems. These algorithms include Distributed Balancing power control algorithm (DB), Modified Distributed Balancing power control algorithm (MDB), Fully Distributed Power Control algorithm (FDPC), Distributed Power Control algorithm (DPC), Distributed Constrained Power Control algorithm (DCPC), Unconstrained Second-Order Power Control algorithm (USOPC), Constrained Second-Order Power Control algorithm (CSOPC), and Fixed Step Distributed Power Control algorithm (FSDPC). These algorithms are compared based on the rate of convergence to the target signal-to-interference ratio, the rate of convergence of the power, and the rate of convergence of utilities. Simulation results show that the FDPC is the best choice according to these parameters. 相似文献
The Al-Si (LM 13)-based matrix alloy reinforced with SiC particles containing 10, 20, and 30 vol.% SiC particles were spray-formed
onto Al-Si substrates. The sprayed samples were directly subjected to a standard aging treatment (T551). From the experiments,
it was observed that the high rate of solidification resulted in very fine silicon particles which were observed as continuous
islands in the matrix and each island exhibited several very fine silicon crystals. Analysis showed that plasma-spraying caused
an increased solid solubility of the silicon in the aluminum matrix. DSC measurements in the permanent mold-cast Al-Si matrix
alloy and plasma-sprayed Al-Si matrix alloy showed that plasma-spraying causes an increase in the amount of GP-zone formation
owing to the very high rate solidification after plasma-spraying. In the plasma-sprayed Al-Si/SiC composites GP zones were
suppressed, since particle-matrix interfaces act as a sink for vacancies during quenching from high plasma process temperature.
Introduction of SiC particles to the Al-Si age-hardenable alloy resulted in a decrease in the time required to reach plateau
matrix hardness owing to acceleration of aging kinetics by ceramic SiC particles. 相似文献
