Nano-sized silicon carbide (SiC) powder was prepared by thermal plasma process using silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) and methane (CH4). The synthesized powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron
microscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and particle size analyzer. The powder was dominated by β-SiC including some of α-SiC and free
carbon species. The quality of the powder was varied with process conditions such as the molar ratio of H/Si and C/Si, and
collecting positions. It was known that the conversion to SiC was mainly affected by the addition of hydrogen gas because
it promoted the decomposition and reduction of SiCL. CH4 was easily decomposed to carbon species for the formation of SiC as well as removal of impure oxygen, but excessive carbon
suppressed the formation of crystalline SiC and resulted in the solid carbon contamination. The optimum ratio of H/Si was
approx. 26 and that of C/Si was 1.1. For collecting positions, the powder collected at the vessel and filter was preferable
to that at the reaction tube. The average size of the powder synthesized was estimated to be below 100 nm and uniform in distribution. 相似文献
In this paper, we consider a problem of global stabilization for a class of approximately feedback linearized nonlinear systems. In order to handle more nonlinearity over the existing results, we provide a new feedback controller with two gain-scaling factors and we show that more nonlinearity can be treated by our control scheme. Moreover, we analytically show that the considered nonlinear systems can be stabilized by the proposed controller. Through comparison practical examples, we illustrate the improved features of our proposed control method.
In this paper, we consider a problem of global asymptotic stabilization for nonlinear systems with the perturbed nonlinearity. We provide a stabilizing controller with two gain-scaling factors and a new controller design method with matrix inequality approach. In particular, we provide a new procedure for selecting gain-scaling factors which are associated with stabilizing the closed-loop system. As a result, our proposed control method widens the class of considered nonlinear systems and yields better control performance over the existing methods. Via several comparison examples, we illustrate the improved features of the proposed control method over the existing ones.
It has been observed that the forming limit curve at fracture (FLCF) of steel sheets, with a relatively higher ductility limit
have linear shapes, similar to those of a bulk forming process. In contrast, the FLCF of sheets with a relatively lower ductility
limit have rather complex shapes approaching the forming limit curve at neck (FLCN) towards the equi-biaxial strain paths.
In this study, the FLCFs of steel sheets were measured and compared with the fracture strains predicted from specific ductile
fracture criteria, including a criterion suggested by the authors, which can accurately describe FLCFs with both linear and
complex shapes. To predict the forming limit for hydro-mechanical deep drawing of steel sheets, the ductile fracture criteria
were integrated into a finite element simulation. The simulation, results based on the criterion suggested by authors accurately
predicted the experimetal, fracture limits of steel sheets for the hydro-mechanical deep drawing process. 相似文献
We prepared zirconia thin films on (100) Si wafer by using a chemical solution deposition with a zirconium naphthenate as
a starting material. The films were pyrolyzed at 500°C for 10 min and finally annealed for 30 min in air at 500°C. Amorphous
films after annealing had no distinct structure and were uniform along the cross section line.In vitro formation of the calcium phosphate was evaluated by the field emission-scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray
spectrometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. 相似文献
The texture of cold rolled aluminum sheet has been known to vary through the thickness due to inhomogeneous deformation during rolling. The copper texture is obtained in the center layer that is plane strain compressed while the shear texture in the surface layer, which is approximated by major 001 011 and minor 111 112 and 111 110 components. The stability condition of these components was calculated based on the full constraint Taylor-Bishop-Hill theory and could be described by a parameterdɛ13/dɛ11 with the suffixes 1 and 3 indicating the rolling and thickness directions, respectively. 相似文献
With the aim of assessing the degradation of Zr−2.5Nb pressure tubes operating in the Wolsong unit-1 nuclear power plant, characterization tests are being conducted on irradiated Zr−2.5Nb tubes removed after 10-year operation. The examined tube had been exposed to temperatures ranging from 264 to 306°C and a neutron fluence of 8.9×1021 n/cm2 (E>1 MeV) at the maximum. Tensile tests were carried out at temperatures ranging from RT to 300°C. The density of a-type and c-type dislocations was examined on the irradiated Zr-2.5Nb tube using a transmission electron microscope. Neutron irradiation up to 8.9×1021 n/cm2 (E>1 MeV) yielded an increase in a-type dislocation density of the Zr−2.5Nb pressure tube to 7.5×1014 m−2, which was highest at the inlet of the tube exposed to the low temperature of 275°C. In contranst, the c-component dislocation density did not change with irradiation, keeping an initial dislocation density of 0.8×1014 m−2 over the whole length of the tube. As expected, the neutron irradiation increased mechanical strength by about 17–26% in the transverse direction and by 34–39% in the longitudinal direction compared to that of the unirradiated tube at 300°C. The change in the mechanical properties with irradiation is discussed in association with the microstructural change as a function of temperature and neutron fluence. 相似文献
Porous Ti compacts for biomedical applications are successfully fabricated in the porosity range from 5.0 to 37.1 vol% by controlling sintering conditions and Ti powder sizes. Young’s modulus and bending strength at the porosity of around 30 vol% are found to be similar to those of human cortical bone. 相似文献
