Lightweight materials improve the fuel efficiency and carbon emissions of vehicles. The purpose of this study is to develop a light-weight, injectable, high-stiffness plastic composite material to replace aluminum in the housing of the speed reducer of a car chassis. The material was tested computationally and experimentally by analyzing the physical properties of specimens with different amounts of reinforcement in the base materials. POM, PA, PEI, PES, PPS and PPA were used as the base materials, while Glass fiber (GF) and Carbon fiber (CF) were used as reinforcement material. The computations were carried out using Moldflow insight software to simulate the injection molding process. The volumetric shrinkage and shear rate of the PA66+GF70 % specimen were 5.3 % and 2985.25 1/s, respectively. The mold material must withstand this shear rate. This sample had the most suitable properties, and the tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength, and thermal expansion coefficient were 312.15 MPa, 1.5 %, 329.2 MPa and 0.022 (10-5/°C), respectively. As a result of this study, a patent was received for this lightweight material technology. 相似文献
The dynamic strain ageing (DSA) behaviours of type 316L stainless steels containing different nitrogen contents (0.01–0.15 wt% N) were studied in tension under varying strain rates (1 × 10–2–2 × 10–4s–1) and the test temperatures (R.T.–1023 K). The temperature range for DSA was moved to higher temperature for increasing nitrogen contents. The critical strain, c for the onset of serration increased with nitrogen content at 773 K and then became almost constant at 873 K. Type A and B serrations were observed at 873 K with the value of the strain required to effect the transition from type A to type B serration increasing for nitrogen contents upto 0.1 wt% and then becoming saturated. The activation energy for DSA was 23.4–26.2 kcal mol–1 (97.8–109.5 kJ mol–1) at the onset and 65.0–76.6 kcal mol–1 (271–320.2 kJ mol–1) at the end of serration. The lower activation energy was related to vacancy diffusion and the higher activation energy was attributed to the diffusion of chromium to dislocations. The activation energy for DSA was slightly increased with nitrogen addition. DSA was retarded by an increase in the nitrogen content since nitrogen reduced the chromium diffusion to dislocations due to a strong interaction between the nitrogen and chromium. 相似文献
This study aimed to evaluate the kinematics and kinetics of the lower limb in both the intact and amputated leg in individuals with transtibial amputations wearing Energy storage and return feet (ESRFs) with fixed ankles and Prosthetic feet with adaptive ankles (PFAAs) during level walking. Three individuals with transtibial amputations walked on level ground wearing their own ESRFs and PFAAs. Spatiotemporal parameters, kinematics, and kinetics of the lower-extremity joints were measured in the amputated and intact legs. There were differences in the kinematics of the joints in the amputated leg and of the ankle in the intact leg between ESRFs and PFAAs. Differences in joint moments, power, and stiffness in most joints in both legs and braking impulse were found between ESRFs and PFAAs. Thus, although it was a pilot study with three subjects, ankle angle control mechanisms (ESRFs: Fixed ankle vs. propriofoot: Mechanical motor vs. élan and echelon: Hydraulic actuator) might affect biomechanical features during level walking.
A femtosecond (fs) terahertz (THz) linac has been constructed to generate fs-THz radiation by using ultrashort electron beam at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory. To generate an ultrashort electron beam with 60-MeV energy, a chicane bunch compressor has been adopted. Simulation studies have been conducted to design the linac. In this note, recent achievements at 60-MeV linac are presented. 相似文献
Isosurface generation from medical images was done using an oversampling method. The key idea of the proposed method was based on the fact that oversampling and downsampling together can improve the signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio. The procedure consisted of four phases: (1) oversampling of a voxel, (2) topology estimation, (3) low-pass filtering, and (4) downsampling. The effectiveness of the method was verified in terms of SNR, compactness, and surface roughness of the fabricated rapid prototyping parts. 相似文献
This paper deals with the active vibration control of a simply-supported beam traversed by a moving mass using fuzzy control.
Governing equations for dynamic responses of a beam under a moving mass are derived by Galerkin’s mode summation method, and
the effect of forces (gravity force, Coliolis force, inertia force caused by the slope of the beam, transverse inertia force
of the beam) due to the moving mass on the dynamic response of a beam is discussed. For the active control of dynamic deflection
and vibration of a beam under the moving mass, the controller based on fuzzy logic is used and the experiments are conducted
by VCM (voice coil motor) actuator to suppress the vibration of a beam. Through the numerical and experimental studies, the
following conclusions were obtained. With increasing mass ratioy at a fixed velocity of the moving mass under the critical velocity, the position of moving mass at the maximum dynamic deflection
moves to the right end of the beam. With increasing velocity of the moving mass at a fixed mass ratioy, the position of moving mass at the maximum dynamic deflection moves to the right end of the beam too. The numerical predictions
of dynamic deflection of the beam have a good agreement with the experimental results. With the fuzzy control, more than 50%
reductions of dynamic deflection and residual vibration of the tested beam under the moving mass are obtained. 相似文献
