Statistical approach to roughness-induced shielding effects

A new theoretical concept is introduced to describe the roughness‐induced shielding effects in metallic materials. This approach is based on the statistics of the local ratio between the characteristic microstuctural distance and the plastic zone size. A general equation involving both the crack branching and the crack closure phenomena is derived in the frame of linear elastic fracture mechanics under the assumption of remote mode I loading. It enables the determination of the intrinsic values of both the fracture toughness and the fatigue crack growth threshold. Moreover, the roughness‐induced component can be separated from other closure components, such as the plasticity or oxide‐induced closure. In order to estimate the total roughness‐induced shielding effect only standard materials data such as the yield stress, the mean grain size, the surface roughness and the fracture mode are necessary. Examples of applications concerning static fracture and fatigue are presented for selected metallic materials.     

Effect of interfacial friction during forging of solid powder discs of large slenderness ratio

The paper reports an investigation into the effect of interfacial friction law during the forging of a powder circular disc with large slenderness ratio(L/D), between two flat dies. The deformation pattern during the operation is influenced by many factors, which interact with each other in a complex manner. The relative velocity between the work piece material and the die surface, together with high interfacial pressure and/or deformation modes, creates the conditions essential for adhesion in addition to sliding. The decisive factors are the interfacial conditions, initial relative density of the preform and geometry of the preform. An attempt has been made to determine the most realistic interfacial friction law and die pressures developed during such forging using an upper bound approach. The results so obtained are presented graphically and discussed critically to illustrate the interaction of various interfacial friction laws involved.

Bootstrap Standard Error and Confidence Intervals for the Correlation Corrected for Range Restriction: A Simulation Study.

The standard Pearson correlation coefficient is a biased estimator of the true population correlation, ρ, when the predictor and the criterion are range restricted. To correct the bias, the correlation corrected for range restriction, rc, has been recommended, and a standard formula based on asymptotic results for estimating its standard error is also available. In the present study, the bootstrap standard-error estimate is proposed as an alternative. Monte Carlo simulation studies involving both normal and nonnormal data were conducted to examine the empirical performance of the proposed procedure under different levels of ρ, selection ratio, sample size, and truncation types. Results indicated that, with normal data, the bootstrap standard-error estimate is more accurate than the traditional estimate, particularly with small sample size. With nonnormal data, performance of both estimates depends critically on the distribution type. Furthermore, the bootstrap bias-corrected and accelerated interval consistently provided the most accurate coverage probability for ρ.

Ordinal scheduling problem and its asymptotically optimal algorithms on parallel machine system

Consider a resource allocation problem on the following system. A system consists of m identical parallel machines and is alive only when all the machines are alive. To keep a machine alive, it requires resources (material, fuel, etc.). Resources with various sizes arrive one by one and the goal is to keep the system alive as long as possible. The problem has applications in many areas such as sequencing of maintenance actions for modular gas turbine aircraft engines[1]. Using scheduling term…
