Material state remapping in computational solid mechanics

A computational procedure for remapping material state information from one finite element mesh to another is described. The procedure is useful in connection with evolving meshes for inelastic problems, as for example occur in the context of fracture simulation and adaptive mesh refinement. The proposed method is based on weak enforcement of equality between corresponding fields on the two meshes, where piecewise‐constant fields on both meshes are generalized from the quadrature‐point values. The essential algorithmic problem is that of calculating the volume partition of an arbitrary convex region with respect to a covering set of disjoint convex regions. Instead of geometrically resolving the associated intersections, the problem is herein approximated by a constrained optimization problem, which may be readily and efficiently solved computationally. This formulation is a main contribution of the paper. Computational examples are given that illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedure. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

一种提高低温流体比体积计算精度的方法

采用了一个既能提高立方型状态方程比体积计算精度，又不影响气液平衡条件的简单摩尔修正项来改进PR方程比体积的计算。本文对19种低温流体给出其修正项的值，计算饱和蒸气和液体比体积，并与未修正的PR方程的计算值比较，结果表明这种修正能显著提高低温流体（包括量子流体氢、氦和强极性的氨气）饱和液体比体积的计算精度，并对蒸气比体积的计算也略有改进。     

Al-Cu-Fe QUASICRYSTALLINE PHASE FORMATION BY MECHANICAL ALLOYING

Al-Cu-Fe alloys were prepared from elemental powders in a high-energy planetary ball mill. A sequence of solid state reactions resulting in quasicrystal (QC) phase formation takes place during heating of the as-milled powder. These reactions were studied by both differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction methods. Mechanically alloyed powders were consolidated by cold and hot pressing, as well as by explosive compaction. After annealing at sufficiently high temperatures, the consolidated samples are single-phase QC, except the ones consolidated by explosion. The high reactivity of the as-milled alloys causes the appearance of high porosity of the consolidated samples after the annealing.

Multi-Reservoir System Optimization using Chlorophyll-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis> Trophic Indexes

The problem of managing water scarcity by resorting to complex interconnected multi-source water systems needs to utilize management optimization techniques analyzing aspects of water quantity and quality in a common strategy. In the southern regions of Mediterranean Europe, the greater part of water resources for supply systems are derived from artificial reservoirs and water systems can become quite complex since they interconnect several sources and demand centers, as indeed occurs in the Region of Sardinia (Italy). A simplified approach to the requirement to insert water quality aspects in the mathematical optimization model can be achieved by examining the trophic conditions of reservoirs. Trophic State Indexes (TSI) based on Carlson’s (1977) make it possible to insert quality constraints in the water management optimization model also considering complex multi-reservoir and multi-user systems. Model formalization and implementation by the optimization toolkit WARGI (Water Resource system optimization aided by Graphical Interface) (Sechi and Zuddas 2000; Manca et al. 2004; Salis et al. 2005) is illustrated in this paper. The usefulness of a mixed quantity–quality optimization approach has been confirmed by WARGI application to a real multi-reservoir water resources system in southern Sardinia. The optimization model remains computationally efficient dealing with this complex multi-reservoir system and the obtained results can be seen as a reference target in a subsequent simulation phase.

Dielectric Resonators for the Measurement of Superconductor Thin Films Surface Impedance in Magnetic Fields at High Microwave Frequencies

We present the design and realization of cylindrical dielectric resonators operating in the 40–60 GHz frequency range, designed for the measurement of the surface resistance and of the surface reactance shift in High-T _c Superconductors (HTS) thin films in a dc magnetic field. The resonators are single tone, based on the TE ₀₁₁ mode, and multiple tone, the latter allowing in principle to exploit the simultaneous determination of the surface impedance at different frequencies. As an application example, we report the temperature and field dependencies of the effective surface impedance of some cuprate superconductors thin films. The results are compared with those obtained through the use of a standard metal cavity with a similar Q-factor and operating in the same frequency range. The comparison highlights a superior stability and a higher sensitivity, resulting in an increase of about two orders of magnitude in the resolution of the surface impedance measurement. By contrast, the dissipative part of the superconducting transition (above T/T _c = 0.97) is better studied with the metal cavity. We also present measurements in the vortex state in YBaCa₂Cu₃O_7−δ and Tl₂Ba₂CaCu₂O_8+x that show significantly different physics. PACS: 74.25 Nf.
