Hand-adaptive user interface: improved gestural interaction in virtual reality

Most interactive user interfaces (UIs) for virtual reality (VR) applications are based on the traditional eye-centred UI design principle, which primarily considers the user’s visual searching efficiency and comfort, but the hand operation performance and ergonomics are relatively less considered. As a result, the hand interaction in VR is often criticized as being less efficient and precise. In this paper, the user’s arm movement features, such as the choice of the hand being used and hand interaction position, are hypothesized to influence the interaction results derived from a VR study. To verify this, we conducted a free hand target selection experiment with 24 participants. The results showed that (a) the hand choice had a significant effect on the target selection results: for a left hand interaction, the targets located in spaces to the left were selected more efficiently and accurately than those in spaces to the right; however, in a right hand interaction, the result was reversed, and (b) the free hand interactions at lower positions were more efficient and accurate than those at higher positions. Based on the above findings, this paper proposes a hand-adaptive UI technique to improve free hand interaction performance in VR. A comprehensive comparison between the hand-adaptive UI and traditional eye-centred UI was also conducted. It was shown that the hand-adaptive UI resulted in a higher interaction efficiency and a lower physical exertion and perceived task difficulty than the traditional UI.

     

Effect of fiber volume fraction on longitudinal tensile properties of SiC<Subscript>f</Subscript>/Ti-6Al-4V composites

The longitudinal tensile properties of SiC_f/Ti-6Al-4V composites with different fiber volume fractions were simulated by the Monte Carlo 2-D finite element model. The random distribution of fiber strength was expressed by the two-parameter Weibull function. Meanwhile, contact elements and birth-death elements were used to describe the interfacial sliding process after debonding and fiber breakage (or matrix cracking) respectively, which was realized by subroutine complied in ANSYS-APDL (ANSYS Parametric Design Language). The experimental results show that the yield stress and ultimate tensile strength of SiC_f/Ti-6Al-4V composites increase with increasing fiber volume fraction, while the corresponding strain of them is just on the contrary. In addition, almost the same failure mode is obtained in SiC_f/Ti-6Al-4V composites with various fiber volume fractions when the interfacial shear strength is fixed. Finally, the tensile strength predicted by finite element analysis is compared with that predicted by Global load-sharing model, Local load-sharing model and conventional rule of mixtures, thus drawing the conclusion that Local load-sharing model is very perfect for the prediction of the ultimate tensile strength.

Oxidation behavior of TiAl coated with a fine-grain Co-30Cr-4Al film

The oxidation behavior of TiAl coupons coated with a fine-grain Co-30Cr-4Al (mass %) film of about 30-m thickness has been studied at 1100–1400 K in a flow of purified oxygen at atmospheric pressure for up to 500 ks. Three oxidation stages were recognized: initial transient, parabolic, and accelerated stages. However, at 1100 K a parabolic stage continues for more than 800 ks. The activation energy for parabolic oxidation agrees with reported values for the oxidation of alumina-former alloys, although the mass gains during the parabolic stages are relatively small at 1200 and 1300 K. Micropores developed mainly at the scale/coating and coating/substrate interfaces as oxidation proceeded. This is attributable to recrystallization of the coating during oxidation and a Kirkendall effect due to preferential diffusion of Co into the substrate. The accelerated oxidation can be explained in terms of the formation of rutile mounds on the scale.

Suppression of carbon monoxide formation in oxide-coated TZM molybdenum X-ray rotating anodes

Higher performance designs for rotating anode X-ray tubes have increased the average rotating anode temperature from below 1100 °C to well above 1300 °C. This temperature increase has accelerated the formation of carbon monoxide by reaction of carbon from the alloy substrate with oxygen from the emissive coating. The dominant carbon source is thought to be Mo₂C grain boundary precipitates in the TZM molybdenum alloy substrate. The dominant oxygen source is thought to be TiO in the emissive coating. Placement of a monocarbide-forming reactive layer between the alloy substrate and the emissive coating has been demonstrated to lower the thermodynamic activity of the carbon source and dramatically reduce the rate of formation of carbon monoxide.     

铸造多晶硅中氧的热处理行为研究

研究了铸造多晶硅中不同温度单步退火下氧沉淀的形成规律。实验发现，单步热处理工艺下铸造多晶硅中氧沉淀的形成规律和单晶硅的基本相似，但是在铸造多晶硅中形成氧沉淀的量明显高于直拉单晶硅中氧沉淀的量；在含高密度位错的单晶硅中形成氧沉淀的量远高于无位错单晶硅中氧沉淀的生成量，而有晶界的多晶硅中形成氧沉淀生成量仅稍微高于无晶界单晶硅中氧沉淀生成量。以上结果表明，铸造多晶硅中位错对氧沉淀的形成有明显的促进作用，而晶界则对氧沉淀的促进作用不是很显著。最后，基于实验结果讨论了铸造多晶硅中初始氧浓度，位错和晶界对氧沉淀影响的机理。
