Martensitic transformation of Ti50Ni30Cu20 alloy prepared by powder metallurgy

Phase transformation behavior of Ti50Ni30Cu20 shape memory alloys prepared by powder metallurgy is analyzed with respect to the duration of mechanical alloying. The processed blends were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and room temperature X-ray diffraction. The martensitic transformations evidenced by thermal scans are discussed in correlation with the relative phase content obtained from the refinement of the X-ray diffraction patterns.     

Simulation of the urban climate variations in connection with the transformations of the city of Nantes since the 17th century

The paper seeks to quantify the effect of urban politics on the microclimate of the city of Nantes (France), in particular those initiated by the sanitarians in the mid-19th century to find a remedy for the insalubrity that had been developing with urban densification since the late 17th century. Intensive historical research was first carried out in order to define and date the major transformations undergone by the city, its structure (densification, then widening of the streets, filling of water courses), the lifestyle habits (heating) or the building practices (appearance of stone and paving, higher buildings, insulation). This led to the definition of 5 characteristic states of the city, in 1680, 1756, 1835, 1880 and 1945.     

Learning new visuo-motor gains at early and late working age

Modern workplaces often require adaptation to novel visuo-motor transformations. Findings on age-related variations of such adaptation are rather inconsistent, suggesting that whether or not age-related impairments do occur depends on boundary conditions. This paper examined the hypotheses that age-related variations affect primarily strategic adjustments to novel transformations and can be found for complex (non-linear) transformations, but not for simple (linear) ones. After a practice period with linear and non-linear visuo-motor transformations, open-loop performance, after-effects and explicit knowledge were examined. Consistent with previous findings, older participants had longer movement times and shorter open-loop amplitudes, more so for long than for short target amplitudes. However, the study did not find any age-related variation of adaptation to a novel visuo-motor gain. Regarding adaptation to a non-linear transformation, the findings suggest slightly superior explicit knowledge of younger adults and the development of slightly more efficient closed-loop processes in the course of practice.     

Unscented Kalman filtering in the additive noise case

The unscented Kalman filter(UKF) has four implementations in the additive noise case,according to whether the state is augmented with noise vectors and whether a new set of sigma points is redrawn from the predicted state(which is so-called resampling) for the observation prediction.This paper concerns the differences of performances for those implementations,such as accuracy,adaptability,computational complexity,etc.The conditionally equivalent relationships between the augmented and non-augmented unscente...     

三相SPWM逆变器恒压恒频控制策略

提出一种基于坐标变换的三相恒压恒频(Constant-Voltage Constant-Frequency,CVCF)SPWM逆变器闭环控制策略。该方法利用坐标变换的思想,将SPWM逆变器从三相静止坐标系变换到两相同步旋转坐标系下,建立了逆变器输出侧数学模型,进而对输出电压的d、q轴分量分别进行PI调节,从而根据生成调制信号,实现三相逆变器的恒压恒频控制。该控制方案的控制结构非常简单、控制成本低。仿真结果表明,系统具有动态响应快,稳压精度高,输出电压的总谐波畸变率小等优点。

用于高压直流输电的晶闸管换流阀运行试验回路等价性比较

现代晶闸管阀的大容量使得难以采用传统的背靠背试验回路对其进行运行试验。替代型等效试验回路的应用显著地降低了运行试验所需的设备容量,但其试验等价性是一个值得讨论的问题。对替代型试验回路等价性进行考核的核心在于其是否正确再现作用在晶闸管阀上的负荷。笔者基于EMTP/ATP对现有的三种等效试验回路进行周期性触发和关断试验的仿真,仿真结果表明ABB合成试验回路具有更好的试验灵活性和试验等价性。
