Ni75Al7.5V17.5合金时效沉淀D022相的孪生相场模拟

为揭示合金固态相变初期新相形成机制,尤其是D022相变孪晶形成机制,利用三元微观相场模型对Ni75Al7.5V17.5合金于1 273 K下等温时效沉淀过程的前3个阶段进行了模拟.计算结果表明,L12结构的Ni3Al有序相首先沿惯析面(100)从母相中共格形核,而后D022结构的Ni3V有序相在先析出的L12相和母相的相界形核.由于{100}的反相畴界上形成较大的共格失配,导致能量较高且不稳定,反相畴界在两相生长中遭到破坏,而晶面{110}的界面能比{100}的反相畴界能低,生长过程中D022的3种变体互相正交排列形成阶梯状结构的{110}孪晶面.

Vision-based edge detection between plant column and soil of ningxia lycium barbarum garden

ABSTRACT

The cultivation of Lycium barbarum (L.barbarum) is a highly traditional and advantageous industry in Ningxia, China, and has strong development prospects. At present, the protection, fertilization, picking, and other production aspects of L.barbarum are generally inefficient and labor intensive, presenting a bottleneck that restricts the development of the industry. Developing intelligent production equipment in the form of a ‘general self-moving host platform + operation module’ is an urgent task for the healthy development of the L.barbarum industry. A self-planning, self-organizing, host platform must be able to perform adaptive navigation in complex unstructured environments. For this purpose, a method of edge detection that can distinguish between the plant column and soil is required. Using a color difference model with Otsu’s method for image segmentation, a corrected gradient image based on the marking method is employed to remove small noise regions and then perform edge detection. Experiments demonstrate that one particular color model offers strong adaptability for light and shadow, which is good for distinguishing between the plant column and soil. The proposed method can effectively detect the edges between the plant column and soil, laying the foundation for detecting a suitable path for a self-moving platform and visual navigation.     

Stochastic modelling of low-cycle fatigue damage in 316L stainless steel under variable multiaxial loading

In the present study, a stochastic model is developed for the low-cycle fatigue life prediction and reliability assessment of 316L stainless steel under variable multiaxial loading. In the proposed model, fatigue phenomenon is considered as a Markov process, and damage vector and reliability are defined on every plane. Any low-cycle fatigue damage evaluating method can be included in the proposed model. The model enables calculation of statistical reliability and crack initiation direction under variable multiaxial loading, which are generally not available. In the present study, a critical plane method proposed by Kandil et al . ( Metals Soc., London 280, 203–210, 1982) maximum tensile strain range, and von Mises equivalent strain range are used to calculate fatigue damage. When the critical plane method is chosen, the effect of multiple critical planes is also included in the proposed model. Maximum tensile strain and von Mises strain methods are used for the demonstration of the generality of the proposed model. The material properties and the stochastic model parameters are obtained from uniaxial tests only. The stochastic model made of the parameters obtained from the uniaxial tests is applied to the life prediction and reliability assessment of 316L stainless steel under variable multiaxial loading. The predicted results show good aggreement with experimental results.     

Effect of Surface Treatment and Metallic Coating on Corrosion Behavior and Biocompatibility of Surgical 316L Stainless Steel Implant

Surface engineering technology is a suitable method for coatings on the metal surfaces or performing surface modification treatment,which can improve corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of metals.In this research,corrosion behavior of Nb coating on H 2 SO 4 and HNO 3 treated AISI stainless steel 316L (SS) was evaluated.Nb coating was carried out using physical vapor deposition process on the SS.Characterization techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) technique were used to investigate the microstructure and morphology of the coated and treated SS.Electrochemical potentiodynamic tests were performed in two types of physiological solutions and compared with the pristine SS specimens.Cyclic polarization tests were performed to evaluate resistivity against pitting.Experimental results indicate that Nb coating and surface treatment of the SS had a positive effect on improvement of corrosion behavior.The decrease in corrosion current densities was significant for coated and treated specimens.The corrosion current density was much lower than the values obtained for pristine specimens.     

Quantitative and qualitative variability of pea (Pisum sativum L.) protein composition

Smooth and wrinkled pea cultivars were studied to evaluate the protein content of the seeds, the proportion of albumins to globulins and the variability of the vicilin/legumin ratio. Principal components analysis showed a strong negative correlation between albumin and globulin contents. Stepwise discriminant analysis demonstrated that two variables, protein content and vicilin/legumin ratio, divided the samples into smooth and wrinkled cultivars with a percentage of success of 95%. In addition, the vicilin/legumin ratio tended to increase, the lower the protein content is.     

On Solving Periodically Perturbed Nonconservative Systems with a One-Parameter Embedding

The paper is concerned with solving the periodically perturbed nonconservative systems, which will be differentiably imbedded into an one-parameter family of operators. The solution of the systems is then found by continuing the solution curve of operator homotopy. When the Newton-Kantorovich's procedure is applied to the corresponding operator equations, an efficient algorithm is derived. Furthermore, the suitable condition on the optimum step size of the parameter is provided for assuring that the approximation solution will converge to the unique solution of the nonlinear periodically boundary value problem. Finally, the theoretical results are in excellent agreement with the numerical examples. Received August 14, 2001; revised December 19, 2001 Published online: November 18, 2002

Religion's influence on culture and psychology.

Comments on E. Sampson's (see record 2001-16333-002) linking individualism and collectivism to religious origins. The author provides examples of cultures which are both Christian and collectivist, in contrast to what is predicted by Sampson's theory. The author draws upon comments made by L. S. Vygotsky on the culture of precommunist Russia to highlight the difficulty with abstracting the influence of religion on individualism and collectivism from the traditional East-West framework.
