Rheological Properties and MR Polishing Characteristics of Core Shell-Structured Silica-Coated CI Particles

Recently,ultra-precision polishing processes using smart materials such as magnetorheological(MR)fluids have been used for optics parts such as aspheric lenses.The MR fluid applied in MR polishing is a phase controllable suspension comprising a mixture of CI particles and non-magnetic fluids such as mineral oil and water.The fluids are a kind of smart material that can be controlled according to their flow properties such as viscosity and stiffness.Water-based MR fluids are easily oxidized if the fluids are exposed and this oxidation can bring irregular polishing results.Also,this phenomenon is one of several factors that reduce the life time of MR fluids.In a previous work,CI particles were coated with a polymer or a composite for the improvement of dispersion stability and prevention of corrosion due to oxidation.From this study,the rheological properties such as viscosity and sedimentation of coated CI particles with silica were investigated with a rotational rheometer;MR polishing characteristics of BK7 glass were studied in order to investigate the surface roughness.The wheel speed and magnetic field intensity were chosen as variables.     

Flexible inspection system based on a vision guided coordinate measuring machine

The objective of this paper is to develop a flexible three-dimensional inspection system for sculptured surfaces by employing 'Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), CAD database and vision system technology. New surface identification and rough localization methods are suggested using a concept called ‘Z-layers’ and a vision guided system. The Z-layers are generated from a CAD database which classifies the three-dimensional models. The three-dimensional models are reconstructed using a vision system that identifies the model and roughly identifies the orientation and location of the object implementing Z-layers. Then inspection planning and fine localization methods are mapped out which are based on the CAD database. The experimental results indicate that the developed inspection system, with the proposed algorithm, can be implemented in modern industry to reduce measurement errors and increase productivity.

A superposition approach to the stress fields for various blunt V‐notches

This paper deals with the problems of blunt V‐notch with various notch shapes. The purpose is to develop a new method capable of obtaining more accurate solutions for the stress fields around a blunt V‐notch tip under opening and sliding modes. The key method is to use the principle of superposition for linear elastic materials. On the basis of the superposition method and the conventional stress fields for a sharp V‐notch, the stress fields useful for any shapes of blunt V‐notch is proposed. The notch stress intensity factors are estimated by the numerical analysis with finite element analysis, and then the effectiveness and validation of the proposed superposition approach are discussed by comparison with the results from the literature.     

Transverse Flux Induction Coil for Uniform Bar Heating Excluding Edge

This work particularly focuses on compensating Joule heat in under-heated areas occurred when thin steel bar is(<20 mm)heated by transverse flux induction heater(TFIH).The under-heated areas take place in range of 50~150mm from the both edges,so Transverse Flux Induction Coil(TFIC)including a magnetic core is proposed and optimized to supplement this fault.The solutions on the electromagnetic field are obtained numerically by commercial code MAXWELL 3D software from ANSYS Corp.and then,verified experimentally by pilot-scale tests,in which the TFIH was manufactured with a nominal power of 100 kW at a fundamental frequency of 1 kHz.Ultimately,TFIC having geometrically the optimized magnetic core made the heating pattern U-shaped,so could supply a desirable temperature profile for the rolling process.     

烧结方法对CP-Ti粉末烧结块显微组织和力学性能的影响(英文)

研究不同烧结方法,包括放电等离子体烧结(SPS)、热压(HP)和电阻烧结(ERS),对商用纯钛(CP-Ti)粉末固结后显微组织和力学性能的影响。选用的粉末粒度分别为<147μm,<74μm和<43μm,粉末粒度越小,其致密化过程越快。在850°C、30 MPa条件下进行SPS和HP,获得烧结体的相对密度高达99%。而通过ERS,则在950°C、30 MPa条件下才发生CP-Ti粉末的致密化。在850~950°C获得烧结钛的显微组织由等轴晶构成。对于粒度<43μm粉末,在850°C、30 MPa条件下通过SPS制备烧结体,其屈服强度为868 MPa。随着小尺寸颗粒含量的升高,通过SPS和HP制备烧结体的屈服强度得到提高。然而在950°C、30MPa条件下,通过ERS制备样品的最高屈服强度仅为441 MPa,比SPS和HP样品的低。与SPS和HP相比,ERS需要较短的烧结时间,但较高的烧结温度导致材料的脆性断裂,使其强度和伸长率降低。     

Optical diffraction gratings embedded in BK-7 glass by low-density plasma formation using femtosecond laser

The optical embedded diffraction gratings with the internal refractive index modification in BK-7 glass plates were demonstrated using low-density plasma formation excited by a high-intensity femtosecond (130 fs) Ti: sapphire laser (λ_p=790 nm). The refractive index modifications with diameters ranging from 400 nm to 4 μm were photoinduced after plasma formation occurred upon irradiation with peak intensities of more than 1×10¹³ W/cm². The graded refractive index profile was fabricated to be a symmetric around the center of the point at which low-density plasma occurred. The maximum refractive index change (Δn) was estimated to be 1.5×10^?2. Several optical embedded gratings in BK-7 glass plate were demonstrated with refractive index modification induced by the scanning of low-density plasma formation.     

Influence of Endogenous Proteases and Transglutaminase on Thermal Gelation of Salted Squid Muscle Paste

ABSTRACT: Thermal gelation of salted squid mantle muscle paste was studied in relation to endogenous proteases and transglutaminase. Myosin in the paste was preferentially degraded into 130-kDa and 90-kDa fragments at an optimum temperature of 30 °C. Degradation was inhibited with EDTA or 1,10 phenanthroline, suggesting the presence of metalloproteases. Myosin degradation was markedly reduced above 40 °C. Although 10 mM Ca²⁺ increased cross-linking of myosin heavy chains by activating the endogenous transglutaminase, setting effect on thermal gelation of the paste was offset by degradation induced by simultaneously activated calpains. Ca2+ and the alpain inhibitor, E64, significantly improved the breaking strength and strain of thermal gels preincubated at 40 °C.     

Growth and Ferroelectric Characterization of Cerium-Modified Bismuth Titanate Thin Film Deposited on GaN Substrate by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Cerium-modified Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ thin films were deposited on GaN substrates by the pulsed laser deposition method. The substrate temperature was varied from 600°C to 750°C in 50°C steps. The surface topographies and orientations of the Bi_0.4Ce_0.6Ti₃O₁₂ (BCeT) films were gradually changed in proportion to the substrate temperature. The diffusion reaction between BCeT and the GaN layer and the depth profiles of the films were investigated by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The ferroelectric properties and leakage current characteristics of the metal-ferroelectric-GaN stacked thin films were measured and discussed.
