Springback analysis of thin rectangular bars of non-linear work-hardening materials under torsional loading

A theoretical analysis of the springback of narrow rectangular strips of non-linear work-hardening material under torsional loading has been carried out. This theoretical analysis is supported by experimental results for rectangular mild steel strips of different thicknesses and lengths. Finally an analytical generalized expression relating angle of twist to twisting moment and residual angle of twist per unit length for rectangular strips under plastic torsion is obtained in non-dimensionalized form. A comparison between the results obtained for bars of non- linear and linear work-hardening materials loaded under torsion is also made.     

A Convenient Synthesis of Some Coumarin Derivatives Using SnCl2 · 2H2O as Catalyst

Some substituted coumarins have been synthesized by von-Pechmann condensation using SnCl₂ · 2H₂O (10 mol %) as catalyst in ethanolic medium. The reactions are simple, easy in handling and environmentally benign.     

Instron texture profile of buffalo milk cheddar cheese as influenced by composition and ripening changes

Buffalo milk Cheddar cheese samples of different ages were analysed for compositional attributes (CA), ripening indices (RI) and Instron Textural Profile (ITP). All samples were compositionally alike, except for pH and salt-in-moisture (SM) contents. RI showed significant variations. CA and RI showed highly significant correlations within themselves and with each other, except for moisture with pH, SM with moisture, MNFS, Fat and FDM and Fat with MNFS. The ITPs of cheeses showed significant variations and had highly significant intercorrelations indicating their interdependence. CA (except moisture and MNFS) and RI showed a highly significant correlationship with ITPs. Moisture content showed a highly significant correlationship with all ITPs, except cohesiveness and springiness, where it was significant. MNFS content showed significant correlations only with hardness and brittleness. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that MI was the most predominant factor influencing cheese texture, followed by pH, SM, FDM and TVFA. Knowing Ca and RI, the textural properties of cheeses can be forecast through mathematical equations. Similarly the age of cheese can also be predicted if RI and/or textural properties are known.     

FORCED CONVECTIVE MASS TRANSFER IN ANNULI

Mass transfer in annuli has been critically examined for various flow situations. The overall mass transfer rate depends on the hydrodynamic regions prevailing in the annular channel as well as on its dimensions. Theoretically consistent correlations are proposed and recommended for both developed and developing boundary layers under laminar and turbulent flow conditions.     

Performance characteristics of multijet tuyere distributor plates

A new multijet tuyere type gas distributor is examined for its operational characteristics and appropriateness for gas—solid fluidized bed systems. Tuyeres of different number of slits and slit widths are investigated and their pressure drop data are correlated in terms of tuyere gas velocity. The fluidization quality of silica sand beds of average particle diameter 451 μm is assessed in conjunction with such distributor plates. It is found that such tuyeres service a bed area nearly twice their own size.     

考虑样本不平衡的电力系统鲁棒暂态稳定评估

由于实际电力系统中暂态失稳样本稀少,基于数据驱动的暂态稳定评估方法面临训练样本类别分布失衡问题,严重影响暂态稳定评估结果的可靠性。针对此问题,提出了一种基于MAHAKIL过采样和BCLM的鲁棒暂态稳定评估方法。首先,通过MAHAKIL过采样改善原始样本集的类别分布;然后,基于BCLM构建电力系统鲁棒暂态稳定评估模型。在新英格兰10机39节点系统上的测试结果表明,所提方法能够显著降低原始样本类别失衡的影响,并对数据缺失和数据噪声具有较强鲁棒性。
