The program was applied to simulation of the temperature and stress field of the Cao＇e Sluice during the construction period. From the calculated results, we can find that the temperaiure and stress of concrete cooled with plastic pipes are much lower than those of concrete without pipes. Moreover, plastic pipes could not be corroded by seawater. That is to say, a good effect of temperature control and cracking prevention can be achieved, which provides a useful reference for other similar nearshore concrete projects.展开更多

The feed flow rate load disturbance is introduced to test the proposed decoupling control scheme. Through simulation study shown that the decoupling is effective, stable and it presents advantage over controller without decoupler. Also, this scheme is able to offer good dynamic performance for most disturbances.展开更多

It is a powerful tool for direct fabrication of three-dimensional fully dense metal components and part repairing. In this paper, the microstructure evolution and properties of 316L stainless steel deposited with this technology was investigated, compact components with properties similar to the as-cast and wrought annealed material was obtained. Cracking was eliminated by introducing of supersonic vibration and application of parameter adjustment technologies.展开更多

An engineering approach based on J-integral was proposed by Ref.[3]. Obviously, it is necessary to determine whether J is really a bask controlling parameter. It has been shown from the results given in this paper that it is not bask, but the Jn-integral defined in this paper is a proper controlling parameter for crack growth in an clastic-plastic state.展开更多
