Mechanical Model on Brittle Crack Initiation and Propagation

A mechanical model is presented in this paper to describe the initiating and propagating of brittle cracks. Two criteria have been deduced from the model to determine the effects of such factors as local stress state, surface and grain boundary energies as well as local grain boundary orientation on the initiating and propagating of both intergranular and transgranular brittle cracks. By which the role of adding B in Ni3Al base alloys to improve their ductility,temper and hydrogen embrittlements in steels and other alloys as well as the random feature of brittle crack initiation could be explained     

Investigation on the Recrystallization Behaviour of Cold Deformed MP159 Alloy

The recrystallization behaviour of cold drawn MP159 alloy was investigated by optical and TEM examinations. It is found that the platelet ε phase in the MP alloy inhibits the recrystallization,and this effect makes the MP159 alloy with high recrystallization temperature of about 920℃.This inhibition mainly comes from the increasing of the interfacial energy, which results from the change of the coherent interfaces of (0001)hcp//(111)fcc into the incoherent interfaces when the recrystallizing grain fronts bypass the platelet ε martensite. The increasing of the interfacial energy also causes the dissolution of a few segments on the ε martensite platelets, which decreases the strength of the MP alloy

中亚瓦赫什河上游源区气候水文要素演变特征

为研究全球变化背景下中亚河流源区气候水文变化,基于中亚跨境河流瓦赫什河上游源区1955—2017年气象水文数据,分析了流域内气候水文要素演变特征及流量变化主要控制因子。结果表明:瓦赫什河上游源区近1955—2017年气候呈现暖湿化趋势;瓦赫什河上游源区气温在1994年发生突变现象,降水在2007年与2012年发生突变现象,流量则在2003年发生突变现象;小波分析显示瓦赫什河上游流域气温、降水、流量的第一主周期分别为28 a、20 a、28 a,周期性振荡明显;瓦赫什河上游源区在气候水文要素关联上,气温与流量变化相较于降水紧密,但受全球升温停滞影响,温度对于流量作用并没有持续增强。     

基于体效应的SiC MOSFET器件栅极老化监测方法研究

长期以来,栅极老化一直是SiC MOSFET器件可靠性研究的关键,而偏置温度不稳定性则是栅极老化的重要现象。由于栅极老化的偏置温度不稳定性存在应力撤出后的恢复现象,如能在可靠性实验中快速、准确地监测SiC MOSFET器件的栅极老化变化量,对可靠性研究具有重要意义。因此,文中提出一种新的栅极老化监测方法。该方法以体效应下的阈值电压VTH(body)为基础,建立理论模型来描述VTH(body)和栅极老化之间的关系。提出在栅极电压开关过程中从体二极管电压–栅极电压曲线中得到VTH(body)的方法,并详细研究实验参数对VTH(body)的影响。此外,通过高温栅偏实验对VTH(body)的实用价值进行验证,并与栅极老化参数阈值电压VTH进行对比。实验结果证明,提出的新型栅极老化监测方法可以实现栅极老化的快速、准确及非恒温环境监测。     

MECHANISM OF SLOW CRACK GROWTH AND STRESS CORROSION CRACKING IN AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL

通过金相跟踪观察、力学测量及断口分析,研究了奥氏体不锈钢氢致开裂和应力腐蚀的机理.结果表明,无论是不稳定型(321)还是稳定型(310)奥氏体不锈钢,电解充氢时先产生塑性变形,当它发展到临界状态时就导致氢致裂纹的形核.但在42%MgCl_2沸腾溶液中应力腐蚀时,裂纹的形核和滞后塑性变形无关.两种(321)輿氏体不锈钢应力腐蚀的门槛值K_(ISCC)远比严重充氢时氢致开裂的门槛值K_(IH)要低.两者的断口形貌也不同,应力腐蚀是解理断口,且和K_I无关.而氢致开裂断口和K_I有关,K_I高是韧窝,K_I低则获得准解理断口.实验表明,氢在奥氏体不锈钢应力腐蚀(沸腾MgCl_2介质)过程中并不起主要作用.     

Copper/copper oxide nanoparticles synthesis using Stachys lavandulifolia and its antibacterial activity

Nanoparticles of copper/cuprous oxide (Cu/Cu₂ O) were successfully synthesised by a green chemistry route. The synthesis process was carried out using an extract of Stachys lavandulifolia as both reducing and capping agents with a facile procedure. The nanoparticles were characterised by different techniques including X‐ray diffraction, indicating that the synthesised sample comprised both copper and cuprous oxide entity. The nanoparticles had a mean size of 80 nm and represented an impressive bactericidal effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Inspec keywords: copper, copper compounds, nanoparticles, nanofabrication, nanomedicine, antibacterial activity, X‐ray diffractionOther keywords: nanoparticles synthesis, Stachys lavandulifolia, antibacterial activity, green chemistry route, reducing agents, capping agents, X‐ray diffraction, bactericidal effect, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Cu‐Cu₂ O     

QoRank: A query‐dependent ranking model using LSE‐based weighted multiple hyperplanes aggregation for information retrieval

Ranking is a core problem for information retrieval since the performance of the search system is directly impacted by the accuracy of ranking results. Ranking model construction has been the focus of both the fields of information retrieval and machine learning, and learning to rank in particular has attracted much interest. Many ranking models have been proposed, for example, RankSVM is a state‐of‐the‐art method for learning to rank and has been empirically demonstrated to be effective. However, most of the proposed methods do not consider about the significant differences between queries, only resort to a single function in ranking. In this paper, we present a novel ranking model named QoRank, which performs the learning task dependent on queries. We also propose a LSE (least‐squares estimation) ‐based weighted method to aggregate the ranking lists produced by base decision functions as the final ranking. Comparison of QoRank with other ranking techniques is conducted, and several evaluation criteria are employed to evaluate its performance. Experimental results on the LETOR OHSUMED data set show that QoRank strikes a good balance of accuracy and complexity, and outperforms the baseline methods. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Effective dielectric response of polymer composites with ceramic coated silver flakes

High permittivity polymer composites were prepared using Bisphenol A epoxy resin and low loss alumina (Al₂O₃) coated silver (Ag) flakes for embedded passives. The uniformity and thickness of the Al₂O₃ layer were studied using both scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). SEM was also used to investigate the morphology of the composites and the particle distribution. The dielectric properties of the composites were measured as a function of frequency and temperature. The composites showed a high relative permittivity of 370 with a low loss tangent of 0.07 at 1 MHz and a temperature coefficient of permittivity ~160 ppm/K.
