Hydrothermal corrosion of magnesiapartially-stabilized zirconia

Changes in the phase compositions and microstructures of magnesia-partially-stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) were studied in water at 80–300 °C, 1 m HCl solutions at 80–140 °C and 1 m CH₃COOH-CH₃COONa buffer solutions at pH 3 and 80–140 °C for 10–40 days. The tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation and the degradation of the fracture strength occurred in water above 200 °C. On the other hand, although no noticeable tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation proceeded in 1 m HCl solutions and 1 m CH₃COOH-CH₃-COONa buffer solutions at pH 3 below 140 °C, the fracture strength of Mg-PSZ greatly degraded. The dissolution of Mg²⁺ ion was observed in water above 200 °C and in 1 m HCl solutions above 80 °C.     

On the mechanics of large inelastic deformations: noncoaxiality,axial effects in torsion and localization

Summary The macroscopic behavior of materials subjected to large deformations is investigated by considering the structure and mechanics of the single slip. Physically based constitutive relations for the plastic flow and material spin are then rigorously derived by resorting to the concept of non-coaxiality; yielding a class of vertex-type plasticity models incorporating features like noncoaxiality and large material rotation. It is shown that these phenomena are inherently coupled through the concept of plastic spin as it relates to the persistence of noncoaxiality. The implication of such phenomena to large deformations is investigated by examining their influence on the development of axial effects accompanying finite shear deformation, as well as on the onset of localized shear bands.     

JETS,PLUMES AND BUOYANT JETS IN STATIC ENVIRONMENT

Turbulence represents an essential aspect in atmospheric and oceanic circulations.In particu-lar,it is a preponderant factor in the dispersion of pollutants of artificial or natural origin.Thevertical turbulent jets,plumes and buoyant jets discharging into static environment is one of themost important and basic flow patterns related with the environment pollution.These flows havenumerous important applications,for example,thrust augmentors,waste disposal plumes fromstacks and combustion systems,and significant problems of turbulent diffusion.     

Einsatzmöglichkeiten neuronaler Netze in der Industrierobotik

Zusammenfassung Es werden die prinzipiellen Einsatzm?glichkeiten neuronaler Netwwerke zur Modellbildung, Steuerung und Regelung von Robotern sowie zur Unterstützung sensomotorischer Aktionen dargelegt. Einige ausgew?hlte neuronale Regelungskonzepte werden vorgestellt und auf ihre Stabilit?t, Robustheit, Genauigkeit sowie Echtzeitf?higkeit hin untersucht. Ferner wird gezeigt, wie sich neuronale Regelungskonzepte in industrielle Robotersteuerungen integrieren lassen.
