Study on spiral wall thickness unevenness of thin- walled tubes rolled by Assel rolling mill

In view of the internal thread defect of thin- walled tubes rolled by Assel 3- roll skew rolling mill, Assel cross- rolling process of X20Cr13 steel tube with typical specification of ??160mm??6. 5mm was numerically simulated by using 3D finite element analysis software Simufact. The influences of different mandrel movement modes, feeding angles and rolling strip profiles on the depth of internal thread were studied. The results show that the depth of the internal thread of steel tube rolled by the full floating mandrel is the most shallow, the second is that of the fixed mandrel and that of the pull mandrel is worst, and it will be gradually deepened when the feed angle increases; the hyperbolic rolling strip is more conducive to controlling the internal thread depth of the rolled tube. Under the condition of hyperbolic rolling strip, the amount of twist deformation of the rolled tube in the rolling process is about 35% smaller than that of the straight rolling strip.

提出了一种基于FCOS神经网络的小建筑物目标检测算法,针对FCOS模型在特征提取阶段提取到的小建筑物目标特征较少问题,引入多尺度检测和可变形卷积方式,加强网络对小建筑物目标的特征提取能力,并通过改进后的SGE注意力机制降低特征图中的干扰噪声权重。改进后的网络可以提取到更多的小建筑物目标特征,对环境干扰噪声的鲁棒性更强。在自己搭建的数据集上进行了实验测试,结果表明,在相同环境下网络改进后建筑物的整体检测准确率提升了1.7%,其中对小建筑物目标提升了3.6%,减少了小建筑物目标漏检、误检的问题。     

Strengthening Mechanism and Microstructure of Deformable Ti Particles Reinforced AZ91 Composite

In this study, the deformable titanium (Ti) particles reinforced AZ91 composite was successfully prepared by powder metallurgy and subsequent extrusion. The mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of pure AZ91 and 5Ti/AZ91 composite were studied. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation of 5Ti/AZ91 composite are measured to be 212 MPa, 323 MPa, and 10.1%, respectively. Microstructure analysis revealed that Ti particles are elongated along the extrusion direction, forming a discontinuous strip Ti particles, fine precipitated Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase inhibits dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior through Zener pinning effect and hinders the growth of matrix grains, resulting in refiner grains of 5Ti/AZ91 composite. Heterogeneous deformed Ti particles and magnesium (Mg) matrix to generate additional heterogeneous deformation-induced (HDI) strengthening. Heterogeneous deformation-induced strengthening mainly contributed to the increment of yield strength for 5Ti/AZ91 composite.     

Determination of atomistic deformation of tricalcium silicate paste with high-volume fly ash

We examined the effect of incorporating high-volume fly ash on the atomic arrangement and interatomic deformation behavior of calcium silicate hydrates in tricalcium silicate paste upon exposure to external forces. The interatomic structural changes and strains under compressive load were assessed using synchrotron in situ high-energy X-ray scattering-based atomic pair distribution function analysis. Three different types of strains, which were (a) macroscopic strains from gauges on the surfaces of specimen, (b) strains in a reciprocal space (Bragg peak shift), and (c) strains in real space (PDF peak shift), were compared to each other. All monitored and calculated strains for tricalcium silicate-fly ash (50 wt% fly ash) paste were compared with the counterparts of the pure tricalcium silicate paste. Pair distribution function analysis in the range of r < 10 Å indicated that the atomic arrangement of tricalcium silicate-fly ash was similar to that of synthetic calcium silicate hydrates followed by that of pure tricalcium silicate paste. Moreover, the pair distribution function refinement results revealed that the calcium silicate hydrate structure in tricalcium silicate-fly ash paste was similar to tobermorite 11 Å, unlike that in pure tricalcium silicate paste. The interatomic strain of tricalcium silicate-fly ash in the real space (r < 20 Å) was smaller than that of tricalcium silicate under compression, which suggested that the incompressibility of calcium silicate hydrates at atomistic scale was enhanced by the incorporation of fly ash into it. This was likely to be caused by the increased silicate polymerization of calcium silicate hydrates, which was attributed to the increase in the amount of silicate in their structure via the addition of fly ash.     

Residents' preferences for private amenities and trade-offs associated with various spatial densities and patterns

ABSTRACT

Northwest Arkansas planning policies, like a number of communities across the country, have identified goals working toward more sustainable, livable, and subsequently denser development patterns. However, the understanding of residents’ perceptions of such living arrangements is limited. This study provides a more nuanced understanding of Northwest Arkansas residents’ spatial preferences through a survey of residents’ preferences for private amenities and their trade-off with various spatial densities and patterns in support of sustainability. Results of the survey indicate a preference for, and experience with, single-family residential living arrangements and amenities, with the preponderance (80%) of survey respondents currently living in single-family housing. There is a preference for low-density neighborhoods even if it means sacrificing other amenities. This study is in alignment with previous research suggesting that people may learn to prefer where they live. Additionally, while the majority of survey respondents indicated a preference for communal greenspaces, renters are more likely to prefer communal greenspaces when compared to homeowners. This study indicates that attached, multi-family development and renter development in Northwest Arkansas should consider the provision of communal green spaces, walkable access to transit, and walkable access to services as desired amenities for those residents.     

A rate-dependent constitutive model for brittle granular materials based on breakage mechanics

Modeling the rate-dependent mechanical behavior of brittle granular materials is of interest to defense applications, civil and mining engineering, geology, and geophysics. In particular, granulated ceramics in armor systems play a significant role in the overall dynamic material response of ceramics, particularly in their penetration resistance. This paper presents a rate-dependent constitutive model for brittle granular materials based on a recent reformulation of breakage mechanics theory. The rate-dependency is introduced via the overstress theory of viscoplasticity. The proposed formulation incorporates the effects of relative density and particle grading on strength and porous compaction/dilation, and is capable of tracking their evolution. The model is devised with internal variables linked to underlying dissipative micromechanisms including configurational reorganization, particle breakage and frictional dissipation. A strategy for calibrating model parameters and required experiments are described. The impact of loading rate on shear strength and grading evolution are explored through a sensitivity analysis. The presented model is capable of capturing several key features of the experimentally observed behavior of brittle granular materials including stress-, rate- and density-dependent stress-strain and volume change responses, the competition between dilation and breakage-induced compaction, the evolving particle grading due to particle breakage, and the evolution toward a critical (steady) state under shearing. A possible application of this micromechanics-inspired modeling framework involves integrating it into rate-dependent models for ceramics to assist in improving the impact performance of next-generation ceramics.     

Extrusion of silicon-rich AlMgSi alloys

As a part of on-going research on phase transformations during the deformation of light alloys, the effect of silicon excess on the extrudability and mechanical properties of the standard AlMgSi1 alloy within AA6082 alloy is investigated in this study. The AlMgSi1 alloy and three experimental aluminum alloys with a silicon content of 1.98%, 3.73% and 5.51% were direct-chilled cast into billets 95 mm in diameter, homogenized at 540 °C for 4 h and extruded into 12 mm diameter rods at different extrusion speeds. The results showed that an increase in the silicon content reduced the extrudability of the AlMgSi1 alloy by lowering the limiting extrusion speed. However, the extruded alloys with 3.73% and 5.51% silicon, generally characterized by a fine grained microstructure, exhibited higher strength levels compared with the 1.98% silicon alloy. Nonetheless, the mechanical properties of these alloys, in the T6 temper condition, were below those of the AlMgSi1 base alloy.
