The effects of particle sizes on forming as well as properties of sintered samples were investigated. The results show that fine powders are more difficult to press than coarse powders and its compact density is lower too. But the sintered density of fine powders is obviously higher than that of coarse powders. Compared with the powders with 103 and 66 ~un in diameter, the green density with 44 ~rn diameter powders is lower, which is 85.1% of theoretical density (TD) at an impact energy of 913 J. After sintering at 1300 ~C for 2,5 h, the sintered density of the compacts with 44 pm diameter powders is the highest, and reaches 98.2% of TD. Moreover, the sintered sample with 44 pan in diameter has the highest hardness and compressive strength, which are HV 354 and 1265 MPa, respectively.展开更多

The ultimate purpose of this study is to reproduce this earthquake by modeling based on measured frictional properties. Dry gouge of about 1 mm in thickness was deformed dry at slip rates of 0.01 to 1.3 m/s and at normal stresses of 0.61 to 3.04 MPa, using a rotary-shear high-velocity frictional testing machine. The gouge displays slip weakening behavior as initial peak friction decays towards steady-state values after a given displacement. Both peak friction and steady-state friction remain high at slow slip rates are exam- ined and gouge only exhibits dramatic weakening at high slip rates, with steady-state friction coefficient values of about 0.1 to 0.2. Specific fracture energy ranges from 1 to 4 MN/m in our results and this is of the same order as seismically determined values. Low friction coefficients measured on experimental faults are in broad agree- ment with lack of thermal anomaly observed from temperature measurements in WFSD-1 drill hole (Wenchuan Earthquake Fault Scientific Drilling Project), which can be explained by even smaller friction coefficient for the Wenchuan earthquake fault. High-velocity friction experiments with pore water needs to be done to see if even smaller friction is attained or not. Shiny slickenside surfaces form at high slip rates, but not at slow slip rates. Slip zone with slickenside surface changes its color to dark brown and forms duplex-like microstructures, which are similar to those microstructures found in the fault gouges from the Hongkou outcrop. Detailed comparisons between experimentally deformed gouge samples and WFSD drill cores in the future will reveal how much we could reproduce the dynamic weakening processes in operation in fault zones during Wenchuan earthquake at present.展开更多

It was applied to various metallic powders and was verified to achieve a density greater than 7.5 g/cm^3 for the Fe-based powders. The ability to rapidly and accurately predict the green density of compacts is important, especially as an alternative to costly and time-consuming materials design by trial and error. In this paper, we propose a machine-learning approach based on materials informatics to predict the green density of compacts using relevant material descriptors, including chemical composition, powder properties, and compaction energy. We investigated four models using an experimental dataset for appropriate model selection and found the multilayer perceptron model worked well, providing distinguished prediction performance, with a high correlation coefficient and low error values. Applying this model, we predicted the green density of nine materials on the basis of specific processing parameters. The predicted green density agreed very well with the experimental results for each material, with an inaccuracy less than 2%. The prediction accuracy of the developed method was thus confirmed by comparison with experimental results.展开更多

The study population consisted of 57 patients with symptoms highly suggestive of a PFO. These patients had been diagnosed with apsychia, migraine with aura, cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral ischemia with unknown cause. Routine echocardiography was performed in all patients to rule out a cardiac malformation. Contrast-transcranial Doppler (c-TCD) and contrast-enhanced transthoracic echocardiography (c-TTE) were used to visualize and quantify the RLS. The standard apical four chamber view was used to observe the changes of E peak, A peak, and velocity-time integral (VTI) ratio of tricuspid blood flow during the strain phase and release phase of the Valsalva maneuver. Paired t-test was used to compare E peak, A peak, and VTI ratio of tricuspid blood flow during the different phases. The right-to-left shunt across the PFO (PFO-RLS) was graded in the two phases and compared by Kruskal-Wallis test. Compared with the strain phase of the Valsalva maneuver, the parameters of E, A, and VTI in diastolic period in patients with PFO-RLS at the release phase were significantly increased [54.30 ± 13.65 cm/s vs 100.35 ± 21.11 cm/s, 42.21 ± 12.32 cm/s vs 57.30 ± 18.88 cm/s, 10.34 ± 3.27 cm/s vs 19.58 ± 4.56 cm/s, respectively], and the difference was statistically significant. The positive consequence of PFO-RLS, as diagnosed by c-TTE with the Valsalva maneuver at the release phase of the Valsalva maneuver, was significantly higher than that at the strain phase of the Valsalva maneuver. At the beginning of release phase of the Valsalva maneuver, decreased intrathoracic pressure led to increased venous backflow into the right atrium. Thus, high-velocity blood flow rapidly pushed the PFO open, which resulted in a significant increase in the PFO-RLS. Therefore, the increase of the PFO-RLS during the Valsalva maneuver is caused by the impact of high-velocity blood flow the PFO.展开更多

Three simple high-velocity basalt models are designed on the basis of basalt formation characteristics. The analysis of deep-layer reflection seismic signal energy shows that lowfrequency seismic signals are capable of both penetrating the thin high-velocity basalt layer and reducing the diffraction noise caused by the rough surfaces. The simulation experiment of a complete 2D basalt model confirms that the low-frequency signals can be used to boost the quality of deep-layer imaging under the high-velocity basalt layer and achieve good results in low-pass filter processing of actual data.展开更多

The oxidation test was performed at 1050℃ for 5, 50, 100,150, 200, and 400 h. The microstructure and phase composition of powders and coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The bonding strength of the coatings was also evaluated. The results proved that with the increase in the percentage of nanoparticles(from 2wt% to 6wt%), the amount of porosity(from 1vol% to 4.7vol%), unmelted particles, and roughness of the coatings(from 4.8 to 8.8 μm) increased, and the bonding strength decreased from 71 to 48 MPa. The thicknesses of the thermally grown oxide layer of pure and composite coatings(2wt%, 4wt%, and 6wt%) after 400 h oxidation were measured as 6.5, 5.5, 7.6, and 8.1 μm, respectively.The CoNiCrAlY–2wt% Al_(2)O_(3)coating showed the highest oxidation resistance due to the diffusion barrier effect of well-dispersed nanoparticles. The CoNiCrAlY–6wt% Al_(2)O_(3)coating had the lowest oxidation resistance due to its rough surface morphology and porous microstructure.展开更多
