The rain induced depolarization in a tropical environment has been studied using a tropical raindrop size distribution developed by Ajayi and Olsen (A-O). The differential attenuation, differential phase shift and cross polarization discrimination, XPD, were computed over a frequency range of 1GHz to 300GHz for spheroidal drops and up to 33GHz for Pruppacher-Pitter drops. The variations of XPD with frequency, rainfall rate and copolar attenuation, CPA, were investigated. A mathematical relationship was established between the XPD and the CPA, canting angle and frequency of propagation from 5GHz to 300 GHz for spheroidal drops and up to 33 GHz for Pruppacher-Pitter drops. The results obtained using the A-O drop size distribution have been compared with those assuming the Laws and Parsons (L-P) distribution. The Pruppacher-Pitter drop shape has been found to give rise to higher XPD, especially at low CPA and high frequencies. 相似文献

The rain dropsize distributions measured by a disdrometer in 21 rain events consisting of 1, 640one-minute dropsize spectra have been analyzed for a tropical station, Ile-Ife (geog. lat. 7.5°N, long 4.5°E) in South-Western Nigeria. Empirical power law relations of the form Y = aRb have been obtained between the rainfall rate R, the radar reflectivity factor Z, liquid water content M, optical extinction σ and the median volume diameter D0 for three types of rainfall. A power law relationship was also obtained between the median volume diameter D0 and the liquid water content M. The variability in a and b with rain parameters, rain events and rain types is discussed. The empirical relations have been compared with existing relations for other parts of the world, for their utilization in radar meteorology and radar engineering. 相似文献

A new class of potent dopamine D(4) antagonists was discovered with selectivity over dopamine D(2) and the alpha-1 adrenoceptor. The lead compound was discovered by screening our compound collection. The structure-activity relationships of substituted isoindoline rings and the chirality about the hydroxymethyl side chain were explored. The isoindoline analogues showed modest differences in potency and selectivity. The S enantiomer proved to be the more potent enantiomer at the D(4) receptor. Several analogues with greater than 100-fold selectivity for D(4) over D(2) and the alpha-1 adrenoreceptor were discovered. Several selective analogues were active in vivo upon oral or intraperitoneal administration. A chiral synthesis starting from either D- or L-O-benzylserine is also described. 相似文献

The responses of adjoining structures to blast induced ground vibrations emanating from Kopek Construction Quarry, Ikere – Ekiti in Ekiti State were evaluated and predicted. Five off site receptors at predetermined distances from the blast source were chosen and the Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) at each receptor during blasting was estimated using the squared root scaled distance equation. The estimated PPVs were compared with the USBM – RI 8705 reference. The results showed that the blast induced vibrations from the quarry site were within the recommended limits and were insignificant to warrant concerns of causing structural damages to buildings in proximity to the quarry site with the given blast design parameters. 相似文献

The effects of specimen geometry on shear strain localization in AA 2219-T8 aluminum alloy under dynamic impact loading were investigated. The alloy was machined into cylindrical, cuboidal and conical (frustum) test specimens. Both deformed and transformed adiabatic shear bands developed in the alloy during the impact loading. The critical strain rate for formation of the deformed band was determined to be 2500 s?1 irrespective of the specimen geometry. The critical strain rate required for formation of transformed band is higher than 3000 s?1 depending on the specimen geometry. The critical strain rate for formation of transformed bands is lowest (3000 s?1) in the Ø5 mm × 5 mm cylindrical specimens and highest (> 6000 s?1) in the conical specimens. The cylindrical specimens showed the greatest tendency to form transformed bands, whereas the conical specimen showed the least tendency. The shape of the shear bands on the impacted plane was also observed to be dependent on the specimen geometry. Whereas the shear bands on the compression plane of the conical specimens formed elongated cycles, two elliptical shaped shear bands facing each other were observed on the cylindrical specimens. Two parallel shear bands were observed on the compression planes of the cuboidal specimens. The dynamic stress–strain curves vary slightly with the specimen geometry. The cuboidal specimens exhibit higher tendency for strain hardening and higher maximum flow stress than the other specimens. The microstructure evolution leading to the formation of transformed bands is also discussed in this paper. 相似文献

The functional and tableting properties of native (NaFM) and chemically modified (by acetylation, AcFM; and oxidation, OxFM) finger millet starches were investigated. The tablet formation properties of the starches were assessed by Heckel and Kawakita analysis. The swelling power and solubility of the starch increased with increase in temperature with AcFM having the highest swelling power, while OxFM had the highest solubility. X‐ray diffractometry showed that the starches had the characteristic ‘A’ pattern with strong peaks at 3.78, 4.37, 4.87, and 5.17 Å. Chemical modification causes rupture of some starch granules as revealed by the Scanning Electron Micrograph. Chemical modification also leads to improved gelatinisation profile, with reduction in ΔHgel from 9.64 J/g (NaFM) to 3.88 J/g (AcFM) and 8.76 J/g (OxFM). The bulk density and Hausner's ratio increased after chemical modification of the starch. Chemical modification reduced the mean yield pressure, Py (Heckel analysis) but increased the deformability Pk (Kawakita analysis) of the starch compacts. Chemical modification also increased the crushing and tensile strength of the starch compacts, but lowered its disintegration time and friability. 相似文献

Correlation of fracture toughness with microstructural features for ultrafine‐grained 6082 Al alloy 下载免费PDF全文

In the present work, cryorolling (CR) and room temperature rolling (RTR) followed by annealing (AN) at 200°C were carried out to investigate the effects of grain size, precipitates (Mg‐Si‐phases), and AlFeMnSi‐phases on the fracture toughness of 6082 Al alloy. Using the values of the conditional fracture toughness, (KQ), in the critical fracture toughness (KIC) validation criteria, it was found that the sample size is inappropriate, which implies that the conditional fracture toughness obtained cannot be considered as the critical fracture toughness. Therefore, to establish the relative improvement in fracture toughness, the equivalent energy fracture toughness (Kee) and J‐integral were calculated and used. The results show that the values of Kee (89.91 MPa √m) and J (89.86 kJ/m2) obtained for the sample processed via CR followed by AN (CR + AN) are the highest when compared with the other samples processed through CR, RTR, and RTR followed by AN, RTR + AN. Microstructural features such as high fraction of low Taylor factor, high fraction of kernel average misorientation, Si‐rich particles, small size AlFeMnSi‐phases, and mixed mode of failure (transgranular shear and micro‐void coalescence) also support the high fracture toughness in the CR + AN sample. It was also observed that the effect of residual stresses on the fracture toughness of CR and RTR samples is minimal. Therefore, the correlation between microstructure and residual stresses is not considered in the present work due to very small values of the residual stresses for CR and RTR samples and the absence of residual stress from the heat‐treated samples. 相似文献

Thermosetting plastic composites have been prepared with phenol–formaldehyde resins as well as unsaturated polyesters as binders and coconut hair as fibrous reinforcement. Using resole-type phenol–formaldehyde resins, the effect of coconut fiber pretreatment by NaOH, the precondensation time of the impregnated fibrous press material, the resin–fiber ratio, and pressing parameters have been studied. Especially advantageous press-material has been obtained using 60–65 wt % linear novolac type phenol-formaldehyde resin as binder and 35–40 wt % of coconut hair. Applying unsaturated polyester (UP) as binder, BMC (bulk molding compound)-type press material can be prepared using coconut fiber reinforcement instead of glass fibers. To achieve better coupling between coconut fiber and UP matrix, coconut fiber was pretreated by NaOH and/or gamma-preirradiation. It has been found that in glass-fiber-reinforced UP press materials a significant part of glass fiber could be changed for short-cut coconut fiber. 相似文献
