Effect of rounding of protruding edge on convection heat transfer in a converging–diverging channel

Experiments were performed to determine convection heat transfer characteristics for the rounding of the protruding peaks of a corrugated channel. Results were carried out for a Prandtl number of 0.7 in the Reynolds number range from 2000 to 5000 for the corrugation angle of 30^o and channel height of 5 mm. In order to determine the channel having the best performance, the channels were also compared by considering the flow area goodness factor. The heat transfer performance for the channel with rounded corrugation peak is greater than that for the sharp peak about 100%.     

The multi-L-REP decomposition and its application to a point-in-polygon inclusion test

This paper presents a scheme for decomposing polygons called multi-L-REP. The scheme can be considered as a generalization of the L-REP decomposition, which associates the edges of a polygon with a set of layered triangles. In the multi-L-REP these layered triangles are grouped into regions of a plane division. The paper also shows some alternative algorithms for its construction, and one of its applications: the point-in polygon inclusion test. Finally, a special case of multi-L-REP that has several interesting properties and shows a very fast point-in-polygon inclusion test is presented.

Imaging with cold neutrons

Neutrons for imaging purposes are provided mainly from thermal beam lines at suitable facilities around the world. The access to cold neutrons is presently limited to very few places only. However, many challenging options for imaging with cold neutrons have been found out, given by the interaction behavior of the observed materials with neutrons in the cold energy range (3-10 Å).For absorbing materials, the interaction probability increases proportionally with the wavelength with the consequence of more contrast but less transmission with cold neutrons. Many materials are predominantly scattering neutrons, in particular most of crystalline structural materials. In these cases, cold neutrons play an important role by covering the energy range of the most important Bragg edges given by the lattice planes of the crystallites.This particular behavior can be used for at least two important aspects—choosing the right energy of the initial beam enables to have a material more or less transparent, and a direct macroscopic visualization of the crystalline structure and its change in a manufacturing process.Since 2006, PSI operates its second beam line for neutron imaging, where cold neutrons are provided from a liquid deuterium cold source (operated at 25 K). It has been designed to cover the most current aspects in neutron imaging research with the help of high flexibility. This has been done with changeable inlet apertures, a turbine based velocity selector, two beam positions and variable detector systems, satisfying the demands of the individual investigation.The most important detection system was found to be a micro-tomography system that enables studies in the presently best spatial resolution. In this case, the high contrast from the sample interaction process and the high detection probability for the cold neutrons combines in an ideal combination for the best possible performance.Recently, it was found out that the energy selective studies might become a research field in its own sing the Bragg edge behavior and its modification to contribute to material research by the direct visualization of textures and the observation of stress and strain. This topic is still in the beginning but has some important relevance for the design of future beam lines for imaging at the pulsed spallation sources.Considering the neutrons to be waves, the cold energy range is important to push and to investigate phase effects in detail with high spatial resolution. Although a lot of studies have been done in this respect previously, there is enough space to study refraction at the edges, diffraction and total reflection with the best possible accuracy, and to figure out when and why neutrons interfere. Phase contrast methods like grating interference methods have to be implemented as a user option, which enables one to define their future application range.

A mortar finite element approach for point,line, and surface contact

An approach for investigating finite deformation contact problems with frictional effects with a special emphasis on nonsmooth geometries such as sharp corners and edges is proposed in this contribution. The contact conditions are separately enforced for point contact, line contact, and surface contact by employing 3 different sets of Lagrange multipliers and, as far as possible, a variationally consistent discretization approach based on mortar finite element methods. The discrete unknowns due to the Lagrange multiplier approach are eliminated from the system of equations by employing so‐called dual or biorthogonal shape functions. For the combined algorithm, no transition parameters are required, and the decision between point contact, line contact, and surface contact is implicitly made by the variationally consistent framework. The algorithm is supported by a penalty regularization for the special scenario of nonparallel edge‐to‐edge contact. The robustness and applicability of the proposed algorithms are demonstrated with several numerical examples.     

Methods for the preparation of welded components for argon-shielded arc welding of thin sheet structures

In welding structures with long welded joints, the problems of preventing the formation of unacceptable internal defects (oxide inclusions and pores) are very important. The formation of these defects is associated with disruptions of the technology of preparation of the surface of welded components, areas missed in scraping, and the excessively long storage time of the prepared surfaces. In this work, investigations were carried out into the effect of the surface preparation, areas in which scraping was not conducted, and deposition of fluxes – suspensions on the formation of porosity in the welded joints. The results show that the minimum total volume of the discontinuities is characteristic for welded joints produced by argon-shielded arc welding using small amounts of alcohol suspensions of the flux deposited on the penetration side. Areas of the edges with no scraping are permitted in this case.     

A pre-processing based optimized edge weighting method for colour constancy

An improvement in the existing weighted grey-edge (GE) framework for colour constancy is proposed. The acquired images are denoised by vector filtering and then, a two-step colour correction process is performed. In the first step, the GE method is used for estimating the global illuminant and perform the initial level of colour correction. The computed illuminant as well as the initial corrected image are used in the second step, which employs the weighted GE method to iteratively compute the final illuminant for obtaining the final colour corrected image. One hundred sixty-five standard test images from a publicly available colour constancy dataset were used to study the efficacy of the proposed algorithm. The results obtained indicate a significant improvement in the colour correction process as compared to the state-of-the-art colour constancy methods. The proposed algorithm reduced the mean angular error by approximately 67.85% compared to the existing weighted GE method.
