On the base of orthogonal comparison tests, influences of many factors on the cracking sensibility of plasma metallurgy coating have also been studied. The results indicate that substrate and its surface condition, processing parameters and components of plasma metallurgy coating have great effects on cracking sensibility of plasma metallurgy coating.

STUDY ON THE FRAMEWORK SYSTEM OF DIGITAL AGRICULTURE

China is a great agricultural country with large population, limited soilresources and traditional farming mode, so the central government has been attaching greatimportance to the development of agriculture and put forward a new agricultural technologyrevolution ― the transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture and fromextensive farming to intensive farming. Digital agriculture is the core of agriculturalinformatization. The enforcement of digital agriculture will greatly promote agricultural technologyrevolution, two agricultural transformations and its rapid development, and enhance China'scompetitive power after the entrance of WTO. To carry out digital agriculture, the frame system ofdigital agriculture is required to be studied in the first place. In accordance with the theory andtechnology of digital earth and in combination with the agricultural reality of China, this articleoutlines the frame system of digital agriculture and its main content arid technology support.

Structure and Properties of Self-reinforced Material Made from Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene-montmorillonite Nanocomposite

High-strength and high-modulus ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE), named self-reinforced material, was obtained by the elongation of UHMWPE-montmorillonite nanocomposite at melting temperature. According to the scanning electron microscope(SEM) analysis, a great deal of fibrillar texture formed in the direction of elongation, and the tensile fractured surface was similar to that of highly oriented fiber. The transmission electron microscope(TEM) and selective area electron diffraction(SAED) analyses reveal that the reinforced phase of the self-reinforced material is an extended chain crystal and its size is about 50_200 nm wide and several microns long, and the montmorillonite layers are broken up to pieces in the size from 100 to 10 nm. The broken layers which have a huge surface area interacting strongly with macromolecules reduces the entanglement density of UHMWPE and induces the chain orientation in flow field. It is supposed that the astriction of montmorillonite layers to polyethylene chains is not only end-tethered but also side-tethered. The differential scan calorimetry(DSC) analysis shows that there are two endothermal peaks for the self-reinforced material, of which the peak at a higher temperature(136.4 ℃) is ascribed to the melting of the reinforced phase.

The further analysis on the multi fractal feature of the sedimentary body is the base of the fractal simulation and forecast, and it is the key of the application of the fractal theory to sedimentology.

Methods for behavior descriptions of structure-complex Petri nets

Petri net language is a powerful tool for describing dynamic behaviors of physical systems. However, it is not easy to obtain the language expression for a given Petri net especially a structure-complex net. In this paper, we first analyze the behaviors of S-nets, which are structure-simple. With the decomposition method based on a given index function on the place set, a given structure-complex Petri net can be decomposed into a set of structure-simple S-nets. With the language relationships between the original system and the decomposed subnets, an algorithm to obtain the language expression of a given structure-complex net system is presented, which benefits the analysis of physical systems based on the Petri net language.

Preliminary Study on Loess Slumping Hazard between Northern Shaanxi and Western Shanxi along the Line of West-East Gas Transportation Project

The loess slumping hazard is a special type of slope failures in the northern area of loess plateau of China. The characteristics of paroxysm and high frequency of the hazard always lead to ruin of cave houses, as well as a high human casualties. The hazard is also seriously harmful to railways, highroads and long transporting pipelines. With the mechanisms of both landslide and falling, as well as the forming process of sliding followed by collapses, loess slumping is used to be treated as landslide or falling. Based on field investigations and lab analyses of the loess between Jingbian County of Shaanxi Province and Puxian County of Shanxi Province along the line of west east gas transportation project which is 300 km long, it is discovered that the hazards of loess slumping are controlled by the content of clay, which lead to their obvious regional properties: the area with a content of clay (<0.005 mm) less than 10 %, called sand loess area, is a seriously developing area of slumping; the area with a content of clay between 10 % and 20 %, called typical loess area, is a medium developing area of slumping; the area with a content of clay more than 20 %, called clay loess area, is a non developing area of slumping. Based on research of the formation mechanism and formation conditions of the loess slumping hazards, some corresponding engineering countermeasures are suggested in this paper.

Microstructure and diffraction pattern changes resulted from long-term aging of martensite CuZnAlMnNi shape memory alloy

Microstructures of a CuZnAlMnNi shape memory alloy in the as-quenched andlong-term aged conditions were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Aged for one yearin martensite phase, an equilibrium α-phase with fcc structure was observed in the M18R martensitematrix, accompanied by the appearance of a novel diffraction pattern. By analysis, it was suggestedthat the novel pattern results from the α-phase and the martensite matrix remaining in seven fineplates which produce intense secondary diffraction effect when the diffraction beams enter from onephase into another.

NONLINER VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF THE PLATE WITH DRY FRICTION SUPPORT CONDITION

The rigid-interface friction model is usually used in the nonlinear vibrationof the rectangular plate with dry friction support edges. The present study provides an extensionby using a hysteretic spring friction model and taking account of the stick-slip motion of theplate. Results for a range of problem parameters have been obtained. The results show that thenonlinear frequency response behavior of the system can be quite different from the rigid-interfacefriction model. The effects of the stiffness at friction interfaces and the stick-slip motion on thenonlinear vibration of the plate are significant and hence cannot be neglected.
