Pore size control of porous silica by sol-gel process

Porous silica glass was prepared by sol-gel process from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The effects of solvents (water, ethanol), drying condition, heat treatment temperature on specific surface area and pore size distribution of porous silica were investigated. Gelation process accelerates with an increase of H₂O content, while retards with the increase of ethanol amount. Structure changes during heat treatment were studied by means of DTA, XRD. TEM micrographs show that the gel particles shrink after heated at 500°C, thus the average pore size decreases.     

Finite Element Analysis of a Moving Boundary Value Problem

A finite element formulation and the solution of a set of nonlinear coupled heat and mass transfer equations for a two-phase system with a moving evaporation interface is presented. The interface condition takes into account the moisture transfer balance at the moving boundary. The finite element results were compared with existing results for a single phase system for model validation. In the two-phase system, the movement of evaporation front has an appreciable effect on the temperature and moisture distribution inside the porous medium during drying. The effect of the nondimensional heat of vapourization parameter γ on the evaporation front, temperature and moisture distribution in porous medium was studied. The higher the value of γ, the slower is the movement of the evaporation front. The temperature decreased and the moisture content increased as the nondimensional vapourization parameter γ increased. This model has potential applications in studying the heat and mass transfer characteristics in food and biomaterials.     

Dynamic oxide voltage relaxation spectroscopy

A new method for trap characterization of oxidized silicon is described. The Dynamic Oxide Voltage Relaxation Spectroscopy (DOVRS) is an improved version of the formerly proposed Oxide Voltage Relaxation Spectroscopy (OVRS) technique which applies a periodic long duration constant current for tunneling injection. It has been demonstrated that the new technique can be used not only to separate and identify the oxide trap from interface trap, but also to separate and determine the centroid from the oxide trap density generated in the MOS system by the tunneling current stress. In the pulse constant current mode, the OVRS measurement can be completed instead of using the double current-voltage technique. Thus the new method results in more accurate and quicker measurements of the oxide trap centroid. Analytical expressions for computing the paramaters of the interface and oxide traps are derived. The effect of the channel carrier mobility on the spectroscopy is also considered. Two types of oxide and two types of interface traps were observed at a pulse constant Fowler-Nordheim current stress by the new method of DOVRS     

Computation of the average power pattern of a reflector antennawith random surface errors and misalignment errors

To specify manufacturing tolerances of a reflector antenna, various errors such as random surface errors and misalignment errors must be considered at one time because superposition of the effects of those errors may not hold. Based on the Rahmat-Samii's formulation (1983), a method for computing efficiently the average power pattern of a reflector antenna with those errors is presented. Simulation results show that superposition of the effects of errors does not generally hold and demonstrate how those errors degrade the peak-gain and sidelobe levels     

The preparation and magnetic properties of Fe-Ag granular solid using a sol-gel method

The Fe-Ag granular metal solid samples with 10% and 30% weight iron have been successfully fabricated using a sol-gel method, which are characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron micrography. The average diameters of iron particles are from about a few nanometres to a few tens of nanometres controlled by the reducing temperature. The evolution of magnetic properties and microstructure during heat treating are described in detail and explained by using the superparamagnetism, single domain and multi domain theories. The magnetic anisotropy of the Fe-Ag granular solid is studied by using the law of approach to saturation. It is found that the magnetic anisotropy constant is in the order of 10⁵ J m^–3 which is higher than the value of the bulk iron and increases with the increase of reducing temperature.     

The influence of the alloying elements upon the transformation kinetics and morphologies of ferrite plates in alloy steels

A series of Fe-C-X and Fe-C-X₁-X₂ alloys in which X, X₁ and X₂ either raise or depress the activity of C iny were investigated by autodilatometer, optical microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to reveal the relations among the chemical composition, transformation kinetics, and morphology of ferrite plates. The incubation time of austenite decomposition at the nose temperature in the time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagrams, the concentration of C in y in contact with theα/gg boundary, and the growth rate of ferrite were evaluated to estimate the magnitude of the solute drag-like effect (SDLE) for the different alloying elements used. All the results are consistent qualitatively with the SDLE hypothesis. This article is based on a presentation made at the Pacific Rim Conference on the “Roles of Shear and Diffusion in the Formation of Plate-Shaped Transformation Products,” held December 18-22, 1992, in Kona, Hawaii, under the auspices of ASM INTERNATIONAL’S Phase Transformations Committee.     

Curvilinear fatigue crack reliability analysis by stochastic boundary element method

In this paper, the stochastic boundary element method, which combines the mixed boundary integral equations method explored in Reference 1 with the first-order reliability method, is developed to study probabilistic fatigue crack growth. Due to the high degree of complexity and non-linearity of the response, direct differentiation coupied with the response-surface method is employed to determine the response gradient. Three random processes, the mode I and mode II. stress intensity factors and the crack direction angle, are included in the expression of the response gradient. The sensitivity of these random processes is determined using a first-order response model. An iteration scheme based on the HL-RF method² is applied to locate the most probable failure point on the limit-state surface. The accuracy and efficiency of the stochastic boundary element method are evaluated by comparing the cumulative distribution function of the fatigue life obtained with Monte Carlo simulation. The reliability index and the corresponding probability of failure are calculated for a fatigue crack growth problem with randomness in the crack geometry, defect geometry, fatigue parameters and external loads. The response sensitivity of each primary random variable at the design point is determined to show its role in the fatigue failure. The variation of each primary random variable at the design point with the change of probability of failure is also presented in numerical examples.
