Calculation of fatigue limits of case-hardened specimens with consideration of mean stresses and residual stresses

 The strength of case-hardened parts under cyclic loading can be determined in an experimental manner, but this can produce a large amount of costs due to the expenditure of material and testing time. Therefore, a calculation method is developed, that strongly reduces the number of experiments. The presented model is based on Weibull's weakest-link concept and allows to compute the survival probability of a case-hardened part which is loaded close to the fatigue limit. The essential quantities in this model are the distribution of Vicker's hardness of the material, the exponents of the Weibull distribution of the volume and the surface, the residual stress state, the surface roughness and the surface oxidation depth. By integrating the survival probabilities of the surface and the volume, the survival probability of the entire specimen or part can be calculated, which allows to compute the fatigue limit. The necessary parameters have to be determined from reference specimens. The model is successfully examined by comparing experimental and calculated results of smooth and notched case-hardened specimens under alternating torsion, rotating bending, repeated tension and tension-compression.

封隔器胶筒接触应力分布有限元计算

利用ANSYS软件对3种封隔器胶筒的接触应力进行了有限元计算，得到了接触应力沿胶筒轴向的分布情况。比较不同结构封隔器胶筒在相同条件下的接触应力分布，可知新型封隔器胶筒在高压下接触应力分布更为均匀合理，具有较好的应用前景。     

超薄氧化层中的中性陷阱对隧穿电流的影响和应变诱导漏电流

用数值分析的方法讨论了中性陷阱对超薄场效应晶体管(MOSFET )隧穿电流的影响.中性陷阱引起势垒的变化在二氧化硅的导带中形成一个方形的势阱.对于不同的势垒变化,计算了电子隧穿氧化层厚度为4nm的超薄金属氧化物半导体结构的电流.结果表明,中性陷阱对隧穿电流的影响不能被忽略,中性陷阱的存在使隧穿电流增加,并且通过这个简单的模型能够理解应变诱导漏电流的产生机制.     

国有股减持、政府隐性担保与投资者行为

国有股减持导致股票市场的大幅下跌，其咎不在以市场价减持国有股的减持方案．政府对股票市场的隐性担保造成投资者对市场走势的某种“理性的”稳定预期和信念．在此基础之上，政府和投资者塑造各自的心理和行为模式、国有股减持的信号含义就是政府要解除对市场的隐性担保．这个信号引发投资者固有的预期模式和行为模式的转变以及股票市场的信心危机。进而导致股票市场的“非理性反应”—市场以大幅下跌拒绝政府国有股减持和解除担保关系的行为、政府被迫停止国有股减持行为，但停止国有股减持并没有阻止股市的持续下跌，因为减持虽然停止，自减持发出的解除隐性担保的信号仍然有效。

Residual stress measurements in bevel gear after different production phases

This article discusses residual stress measurements by means of electrochemical removal of material layers with residual stresses and simultaneous measurement of strain on the opposite specimen side with strain gages. Exact measurements are impossible particularly because of the small bevel gear module. With the method presented, the average residual stresses in the tooth root plane and underlying layers are measured. Residual stress distribution after each consecutive production phase is plotted and analyzed. Residual stress measurements enable the engineer to adequately assess each individual production phase and by that improve the quality of the complete production process.     

Non-destructive evaluation of residual stresses in thin films via x-ray diffraction topography methods

Quantitative x-ray diffraction topography techniques have been used to measure the residual strain magnitude and uniformity of deposition for Mo and W sputtered films on Si(100) substrates. High sensitivity rocking curve measurements were able to determine differential strains for films as thin as 2.5 nm; while Bragg angle contour mapping had similar sensitivity and was also able to assess coating uniformity and stress distribution over areas covering a whole wafer. Measurements of strain versus film thickness over a range of 2.5 nm to 80 nm showed that a critical thickness exists for maximum residual strain. Growth beyond this range produces stress relaxation. This non-destructive type of analysis could be employed on a wide range of film-substrate combinations.     

Neutral poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-2,5-diyl)s: preparation by organometallic polycondensation and their unique p-doping behavior

Neutral and non-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), PEDOTh(Ni), and its hexyl derivative, PEDOTh-C₆(Ni), have been prepared by organometallic dehalogenation polycondensation of 2,5-dichloro-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and its hexyl derivative with a zerovalent nickel complex. PEDOTh-C₆(Ni) was soluble in organic solvents and ¹H NMR data indicated that it had an M_n of 11,000. MALDI-TOF mass analysis of PEDOTh(Ni) gave M_n and M_w of about 1700 and 2400, respectively. PEDOTh-C₆(Ni) showed a UV-Vis absorption peak at 546 nm in CHCl₃. Electrochemical oxidation of PEDOTh-C₆(Ni) started at about −0.40 V vs Ag⁺/Ag and gave a peak at 0.20 V vs Ag⁺/Ag. Chemical and electrochemical oxidation (or p-doping) of PEDOTh-C₆(Ni), both in solutions and in a solid state, led to weakening of the original π-π^∗ peaks and rise of new peak(s) in a region of 800-1500 nm. The p-doping of PEDOTh-C₆(Ni) caused not only a decrease in the intensity of ¹H NMR signals of the bridging ethylene hydrogens but also a decrease in that of the hexyl side chain, suggesting a strong interaction of the p-dopant with the side chain. NMR data of poly(3-methoxythiophene-2,5-diyl) also supported an assumption that p-doping brings about a severe change in electronic state of the substituent attached to the polythiophene main chain. PEDOTh(Ni) had a density of 1.71 g cm⁻³; the molecular packing mode of PEDOTh(Ni) is discussed based on the density of the polymer and its XRD data.
