Effects of initial δ phase(Ni_3Nb) on hot tensile deformation behaviors and material constants of Ni-based superalloy

Effects of initial δ phase（Ni_3Nb） on the hot tensile deformation behaviors and material constants of a Ni-based superalloy were investigated over wide ranges of strain rate and deformation temperature. It is found that the true stress-true strain curves exhibit peak stress at a small strain, and the peak stress increases with the increase of initial δ phase. After the peak stress, initial δ phase promotes the dynamic softening behaviors, resulting in the decreased flow stress. An improved Arrhenius constitutive model is proposed to consider the synthetical effects of initial δ phase, deformation temperature, strain rate, and strain on hot deformation behaviors. In the improved model, material constants are expressed as the functions of the content of initial δ phase and strain. A good agreement between the predicted and measured results indicates that the improved Arrhenius constitutive model can well describe hot deformation behaviors of the studied Ni-based superalloy.

Influence of RE-rich phase distribution in initial alloy on anisotropy of HDDR powders

The influence of the RE-rich phase distribution in the precursor alloys on the anisotropy of the hydrogenation disproportionation desorption recombination（HDDR） processed powders is investigated. The homogenized ingot alloy and the as-cast strip casting（SC） alloy with a uniform RE-rich grain boundary phase lead to high anisotropy of the refined powders,acquiring degrees of alignment（DOA） of 0.62 and 0.54, respectively. The RE-rich phase aggregation results in a deteriorated DOA of the powders due to the drastic disproportionation rate, while a thin and uniform RE-rich phase distribution is beneficial for DOA. A reaction model of the initial particle microstructure is proposed for optimizing the HDDR powder anisotropy.

Effect of atomic initial phase difference on spontaneous emission of an atom embedded in photonic crystal

We investigate the effect of initial phase difference between the two excited states of a V-type three-level atom on its steady state behaviour of spontaneous emission. A modified density of modes is introduced to calculate the spontaneous emission spectra in photonic crystal. Spectra in free space are also shown to compare with that in photonic crystal with different relative positions of the excited levels from upper band-edge frequency. It is found that the initial phase difference plays an important role in the quantum interference property between the two decay channels. For a zero initial phase, destructive property is presented in the spectra. With the increase of initial phase difference, quantum interference between the two decay channels from upper levels to ground level turns to be constructive. Furthermore, we give an interpretation for the property of these spectra.

Tentative New Terminology: Initial Comedonal Phase Preceding Acute Inflammatory Phase of Acne Vulgaris—Importance of Early Treatment

We report a case of a 12-year-old female with closed and open comedo without inflammatory lesions at the first visit. She had been treated with topical adapalene once daily, and closed and open comedo subsided without inflammatory lesions one month after the treatment without any side effects induced by adapalen. The recurrence of comedo had not been observed afterwards. In the Japanese Dermatological Association (JDA) guidelines for the treatment of acne vulgaris, comedonal phase has not been stated. Then we propose the tentative new terminology of a comedonal phase and emphasize its importance in the early initial treatment for comedo to prevent the development of the acute inflammatory phase such as red papules and pustules and formation of acne scars.

Influence of Rigid Boundary and Initial Stress on the Propagation of Love Wave

In the present paper we study the effect of rigid boundary on the propagation of Love waves in an inhomogeneous substratum over an initially stressed half space, where the heterogeneity is both in rigidity and density. The dispersion equation of the phase velocity has been derived. It has been found that the phase velocity of Love wave is considerably influenced by the rigid boundary, inhomogeneity and the initial stress present in the half space. The velocity of Love waves have been calculated numerically as a function of KH (where K is a wave number H is a thickness of the layer) and are presented in a number of graphs.

Numerical Simulation on Irregular Shrinkage of Initial Shell in Continuous Casting of Steel

Based on the microstructures of steel, a thermo-elasto-plastic stress model of continuously casting billets is established to study hailal solidifying process in molds. Results show that peritectic phase transformation contributes greatly to the irregular shrinkage ofinitial shell, which makes the billets vulnerable to surface defects.

Propagation of Love waves in non-homogeneous substratum over initially stressed heterogeneous half-space

The paper studies the propagation of Love waves in a non-homogeneous substratum over an initially stressed heterogeneous half-space. The dispersion equation of phase velocity is derived. The velocities of Love waves are calculated numerically as a function of kH and presented in a number of graphs, where k is the wave number, and H is the thickness of the layer. The case of Gibson＇s half-space is also considered. It is observed that the speed of Love waves is finite in the vicinity of the surface of the half-space and vanishes as the depth increases for a particular wave number. It is also observed that an increase in compressive initial stresses causes decreases of Love waves velocity for the same frequency, and the tensile initial stress of small magnitude in the half-space causes increase of the velocity.

INITIAL STATE EFFECT OF CORE-LEVEL NORMAL PHOTOELECTRON DIFFRACTION

The photoelectron modulation functions of system C(2x2)S-Ni(001),χ^(1s) ( E ) and χ^(2p)(E), which correspond to 1s and 2p initial states respectively, have been calculated., It is shown that χ^(1s) (E) and χ^(2p)(E) are out of phase. This initial state effect of core-level normal photoelectron diffraction (NPD) has been proved in multiple-scattering scheme and confirmed by a comparison between theoretical and experi-mental results.

NANOCRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE AND INITIAL PERMEABILITY OF ANNEALED Fe_(73.5)Cu_(1)W_(3)Si_(13.5)B_(9) Alloy

The nanocrystalline structure of annealed Fe73.5 Cu1 W3Si13.5B9 alloy has been investigated by using the XRD and the TEM methods. The relation between the initial permeability and the microstructure of the annealed alloy has been discussed. The crystalline phase in annealed Fe73.5 Cu1 W3Si13.5B9 alloy is the α-Fe(Si) phase with DO3 superstructure. The volume fraction, Si content and degree of order of the αFe(Si) phase increase with increasing annealing temperature. In the temperature range of 490-570℃, the α-Fe(Si) phase has a size of 13 nm, and its grain number increases as the annealing temperature is increased. The DO3 ordered region in the α-Fe(Si) grain is spherical approximately, and its size increases as the annealing temperature increases. The size of the DO3 ordered region is 12.8 nm at the temperature of 570℃,which is close to that of the α-Fe(Si) grain. There is obvious change in the structure of the residual amorphous phase during annealing, and the nearest atomic distance and the short-range order of residual amorphous phase reach maximum and minimum at 530℃, respectively. The initial permeability of annealed Fe73.5 Cu1 W3Si13.5 B9 alloy is not only dependent on the size, volume fraction and Si content of the α-Fe(Si) phase but also related to the structure state of the residual amorphous phase.

Modeling of Surface Waves in a Fluid Saturated Poro-Elastic Medium under Initial Stress Using Time-Space Domain Higher Order Finite Difference Method

In this present context, mathematical modeling of the propagation of surface waves in a fluid saturated poro-elastic medium under the influence of initial stress has been considered using time dependent higher order finite difference method (FDM). We have proved that the accuracy of this finite-difference scheme is 2M when we use 2nd order time domain finite-difference and 2M-th order space domain finite-difference. It also has been shown that the dispersion curves of Love waves are less dispersed for higher order FDM than of lower order FDM. The effect of initial stress, porosity and anisotropy of the layer in the propagation of Love waves has been studied here. The numerical results have been shown graphically. As a particular case, the phase velocity in a non porous elastic solid layer derived in this paper is in perfect agreement with that of Liu et al. (2009).

Influence of Initial Chirp on Propagation of Super-Gaussian Pulse inside Fiber

Under the condition of combined effects of group--velocitydispersion and self- phase modulation, the step Fourier method isused to simulate the propagation of initial chirped super-Gaussianpulses inside fiber. The initial chirp influences the shapes of superGaussian pulses in propagation process, and positive and negativechirps have different effects. For the existing of initial chirp, thesplits of pulses and the spreading speed move ahead and increase.When the amplitude of super-Gaussian pulses increases by 1.4 times,in the range of │C│<1.5, pulses can keep good shapes along theirpropagation distance.

Frost heaving and crack initiation characteristics of tunnel rock mass in cold regions under low-temperature degradation

Water freezing in rock fractures causes volumetric expansion and fracture development through frost heaving.This study introduces a novel analytical model to investigate how uneven freezing force and surrounding rock pressure influence fracture initiation,based on mass conservation,elasticity,and water-ice phase transition principles.A model for rock fracture initiation considering freezing temperature,uneven freezing expansion,in-situ stress,and lateral pressure was proposed based on fracture mechanics.Equations for stress intensity factors were developed and validated using the phase field method.The effects of rock elastic modulus anisotropy and critical fracture energy density on fracture initiation were also discussed.The results show that the values of KI and KII exhibit an upward trend as the freezing temperature,uneven expansion,in-situ stress,and lateral pressure increase.The uneven freezing expansion has the most significant influence on KI and KII values among these parameters.As the uneven freezing expansion coefficient increases to 0.5,the fracture initiation mode shifts from tensile fracture to shear fracture.As the lateral pressure coefficient increases to 1,the fracture initiation mode shifts from tensile fracture to shear fracture.Rock elastic modulus anisotropy causes fractures to propagate in a clockwise direction,forming a'butterfly'pattern.Critical fracture energy density an isotropy causes counterclockwise deviation in propagation direction,resulting in branching paths and an'H'-shaped pattern.

Progress of MJO Prediction at CMA from Phase I to Phase II of the Sub-Seasonal to Seasonal Prediction Project

As one of the participants in the Subseasonal to Seasonal(S2S)Prediction Project,the China Meteorological Administration(CMA)has adopted several model versions to participate in the S2S Project.This study evaluates the models’capability to simulate and predict the Madden-Julian Oscillation(MJO).Three versions of the Beijing Climate Center Climate System Model(BCC-CSM)are used to conduct historical simulations and re-forecast experiments(referred to as EXP1,EXP1-M,and EXP2,respectively).In simulating MJO characteristics,the newly-developed high-resolution BCC-CSM outperforms its predecessors.In terms of MJO prediction,the useful prediction skill of the MJO index is enhanced from 15 days in EXP1 to 22 days in EXP1-M,and further to 24 days in EXP2.Within the first forecast week,the better initial condition in EXP2 largely contributes to the enhancement of MJO prediction skill.However,during forecast weeks 2–3,EXP2 shows little advantage compared with EXP1-M because the increased skill at MJO initial phases 6–7 is largely offset by the degraded skill at MJO initial phases 2–3.Particularly at initial phases 2–3,EXP1-M skillfully captures the wind field and Kelvin-wave response to MJO convection,leading to the highest prediction skill of the MJO.Our results reveal that,during the participation of the CMA models in the S2S Project,both the improved model initialization and updated model physics played positive roles in improving MJO prediction.Future efforts should focus on improving the model physics to better simulate MJO convection over the Maritime Continent and further improve MJO prediction at long lead times.

Effects of rotation and gravity on an electro-magneto-thermoelastic medium with diffusion and voids by using the Lord-Shulman and dual-phase-lag models

The effects of rotation and gravity on an electro-magneto-thermoelastic medium with diffusion and voids in a generalized thermoplastic half-space are studied by using the Lord-Shulman (L-S) model and the dual-phase-lag (DPL) model. The analytical solutions for the displacements, stresses, temperature, diffusion concentration, and volume fraction field with different values of the magnetic field, the rotation, the gravity, and the initial stress are obtained and portrayed graphically. The results indicate that the effects of gravity, rotation, voids, diffusion, initial stress, and electromagnetic field are very pronounced on the physical properties of the material.

陵水25-1深水气田混输管道距离长、管道爬坡段坡度大,初始投产阶段混输流体水相到达平台的时间长且预测困难,给管道安全运行带来风险。基于多相流计算模型,运用LedaFlow软件,对陵水25-1深水气田初始投产阶段的水相运动规律进行研究,并深入分析含水率、油量、气量、油水相间摩擦系数等因素对水相运行的影响。结果表明:初始投产阶段水相在爬坡段分离和积聚,形成长时间的停滞,管道坡度越大,水相波动越剧烈;含水率越高的物流,水相在爬坡段聚集时间越短;气量增大则会降低水相滞液程度,提高水相运行速度,有助于水相爬坡;油量变化对水相运行速度的影响较小,油水相间摩擦系数对爬坡段水相运动有直接影响,油水相间摩擦系数修正拟合,对实际管道运行有重要指导意义。研究结果可为深水气田开发研究提供借鉴。
