Special Features of Fracture of Steels from Partially-Alloyed Powders

Special features of fracture of structural steels 45N2D2M and 45N4D2M manufactured by pressing with subsequent sintering from partially alloyed iron powders are studied. Impact bending tests of specimens with different levels of retained porosity show two kinds of fracture, i.e., intraparticle cleavage and interparticle dimple fracture. In addition, the surfaces of the “initial” pores come out to the fracture surface. Other conditions being equal, growth in porosity decreases the proportion of the brittle component of fracture and decreases the critical brittle point.     

多孔挡板流化床还原UO3反应器模型的研究

针对ＵＯ＿３的Ｎ＿２还原反应建立了多孔挡板流化床反应器模型。将多孔挡板床的每一级视为具有相似的流动状态，每一级的上、下段称为稀、密相段，分别用鼓泡床和活塞流模型描述。该模型的计算值与￠６３ｍｍ的多孔挡板床Ｈ＿２还原ＵＯ＿３的热态实验值能较好的吻合。还预计了还原温度、操作气速和挡板结构参数对固相转化率的影响，为该类反应器的工业设计、放大和优化提供了依据。     

Gradient interpenetrating polymer networks

The methods of synthesis and properties of gradient interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) are discussed based on literature and authors' own experimental data. Gradient IPN can be treated as a sequence of an infinite number of layers of IPNs, whose composition and properties vary gradually from the surface to the core of specimens. These are analysed the most important properties of gradient IPNs: temperature transitions, thermodynamic and physico-mechanical characteristics and the main direction of practical application of gradient IPN-based materials.     

Continuous stimulated emission at T=293 K from separate-confinement heterostructure diode lasers with one layer of InAs quantum dots grown on vicinal GaAs(bd001) surfaces misoriented in the [010] direction in the active region

The electroluminescence and stimulated emission of lasers with one layer of InAs quantum dots (QD’s) grown in a single molecular-beam epitaxial process on vicinal GaAs(001) surfaces misoriented in the direction [010] by 2, 4 and 6° are investigated. It is discovered that an increase in the misorientation angle leads to a blue shift and a decrease in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the electroluminescence spectrum. This effect is attributed to a decrease in the size of the quantum dots and improvement in their size uniformity. A strong dependence of the threshold current density on the width of the spontaneous luminescence spectrum is discovered. The room-temperature threshold current density of the lasers with one layer of quantum dots and the spontaneous luminescence spectrum having the smallest FWHM (54 meV) equals 210 A/cm². Fiz. Tekh.

Deformation of a rectangular plate half-embedded in an elastic base

We have investigated the deformation of a rectangular plate half-embedded in an elastic base and subjected to a mechanical load. Using the apparatus of generalized functions, the problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equations which is solved by the boundary element method. We present the results in the form of isolines of the components of the displacement vector.Translated from Problemy Prochnosti, No. 3, pp. 72–77, March, 1996.
