Simulation and experimental study on the surface morphology and energy lost of the target material under non-overlapping impact of angular particles

In order to further understand the effect of solid impurities on pipeline wall during erosion,the particle impact process without fluid was extracted for specific study.The effect of multi-impact particles on the wall of pipeline was studied experimentally and simulated.In this experiment,an improved ejection apparatus was implemented to carry out multi-impacts non-overlapping impingement by rhombic particles made of high speed steel(W18Cr4V)on the AA6061 aluminum alloy plate through changing particle angle,incident angle,orientation angle and impact velocity.As a result,each particle's penetration depth was investigated and particles' rebound trajectory can be described through this experiment as well as surface morphology of the target material after impingement.The ductile damage criterion,shear damage criterion and MSFLD damage criterion were jointly implemented in ABAQUS/CAE software to simulate the whole process of collision which proved to be effective by getting consistent result compared with experimental data.It is found that under the condition of continuous non-overlapping impact,the target material produces a small work hardening effect in the impact area by converting kinetic energy of moving particles into internal energy of plate so as to reduce the penetration depth of each impact particle.

Experimental Study on the Erosion of Pipelines under Different Load Conditions

The influence of the material stress state induced by internal and external forces on the erosion rate of pipelines has rarely been investigated in the literature.In order to fill this gap,using a tensile tester machine,a two–phase gas–solid particles jet erosion test was carried out considering a 316L stainless steel under different tensile stresses and different erosion angles.The results show that:1)In the elastic range,with the increase of stress,the erosion rate manifests a rising trend;2)In the metal plastic range,the increase of stress leads to a decrease of the erosion rate;3)The erosion rate at a small erosion angle is more sensitive to the increment of stress.The present research demonstrates that the combined effect of erosion and material internal stress can contribute to determine the effective resistance of the vulnerable parts of piping systems(such as elbows or similar components).

Magnetic, dielectric and luminescence synergetic switchable effects in molecular material [Et_(3)NCH_(2)Cl]_(2)[MnBr_(4)]

The application of multifunctional materials in various fields such as electronics and signal processors has attracted massive attention. Herein, a new organic-inorganic hybrid material [Et_(3)NCH_(2)Cl]_(2)[MnBr_(4)](1) is reported, which contains two organic amines cations and one [MnBr_(4)] tetrahedral ion. Compound 1 has a dielectric anomaly signal at 338 K, which proves its thermodynamic phase transition. The single crystal measurements at 200 K and 380 K show that the phase transition of compound 1 is caused by the thermal vibration of organic amine cations in the lattice. Moreover, compound 1 shows yellow-green luminescence under UV light irradiation. The magnetism measurements indicate that compound 1 shows switchable magnetic properties. This organic–inorganic material is a multifunctional material with dielectric, optical, and magnetic synergetic switchable effects, which expands a new direction for designing multifunctional materials.

Surface deformation under overlapping impacts of solid particles

To improve the accuracy of erosion prediction,the effect of subsequent particles impacting the same area while the first single particle rebounds from the substrate must be considered.This issue has rarely been considered in studies pertaining to erosion damage.In the present study,the ABAQUS software is used to investigate the erosion crater morphology and stress distribution on a target material subjected to overlapping impacts of spherical particles.Subsequently,the validated model is applied to investigate the effect of the overlapping impacts of particles on the target.Accordingly,the correlation between erosion severity and the impact locations of the two incident particles is quantified.The results show that the horizontal distance between two solid particle impact locations can significantly affect the erosion magnitude and pattern.The interactions of the resulting craters diminish when the horizontal distance exceeds 0.6 times the particle diameter.When the horizontal distance is approximately 0.06 times the particle diameter,the energy loss originating from collisions reaches the maximum,which modifies the crater morphology.The present study is expected to provide in-depth insights into erosion mechanisms and erosion modeling.
