Real-time measurement of welding temperature field and closed loop control of penetration

Colormetric method of images by using two different wavelength images is a new measuring method for welding temperature field on the basis of ordinary colorimetric method, which depends little on the measuring distance, emissivity of body etc. In this paper the real time measuring system and measuring principle of welding temperature field are described, the whole welding temperature field is real time measured, so the temperature distribution at the welding direction and its cross section is obtained, then parameters of thermal cycle. With data from the temperature closed loop control system of the parameters of temperature field is developed and tested. Experimental results prove that it has high measurement speed (time of a field within 0.5 s ) and good dynamic response quality. Weld penetration can be controlled satisfactorily under the variation of welding condition such as welding thickness, welding speed and weldment gap etc.

Response of saturated porous media subjected to local thermal loading on the surface of semi-infinite space

Heat source function method is adopted in the present paper to derive elementary solutions of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical consolidation for saturated porous media under conjunct actions of instantaneous point heat source, instantaneous point fluid source and constant volume force. By using the so-called fictitious heat source method and images method, the solutions of a semi-infinite saturated porous medium subjected to a local heat source with time-varied intensity on its free surface are developed from elementary solutions. The numerical integral methods for calculating the unsteady temperature, pore pressure and displacement fields are given. The thermomechanical response are analyzed for the case of a circular planar heat source. Besides, the thermal consolidation characteristics of a saturated porous medium subjected to a harmonic thermal loading are also given, and the fluctuation processes of the field variables located below the center of heat source are analyzed.

Point Charges and Conducting Planes for Yukawa’s Potential and Coulomb’s Potential

In this work, we modeled and simulated the electric potential generated by point charges in the region of grounded conductor planes for Yukawa potential (e−μ/r) and Coulomb potential (1/r). We show the symbolic expression for the electric potential and some graphs for it and for the electric field with different values of μ. We observe that the electric potential decreases as the value of μ increases and that does not allow all the charge to be distributed on the surface of the conductor.

Point Charge between Two Grounded and Conducting Planes Forming a 60°Angle and for Yukawa’s Potential and Coulomb’s Potential

For a point charge between two grounded conductor planes forming a 60° angle, the potential and electric field generated by point charge for Yukawa’s potential (e-μr/r) and Coulomb’s potential (1/r) are modeled and simulated. The expression for the potential that generalizes the cases discussed in López-Mariño, M. and Trujillo Caballero, J. (2017) Point Charges and Conducting Planes for Yukawa’s Potential and Coulomb’s Potential. Journal of Electromagnetic Analysis and Applications, 9, 135-146. https://doi.org/10.4236/jemaa.2017.910012 is presented. Graphs for the potential and electric field for both cases are showed using Maple, that of Coulomb and that of Yukawa for different values of μ . The purpose of this work is to offer students a practical guide for problem analysis of electrostatics using Maple’s capabilities as a computational tool.

Experimental Investigation on Characteristics of Blast Load in Partially Confined Cabin Structure

Some characteristics of interior explosions within a cabin structure with a venting hole are investigated.It may simulate a warhead explosion inside a cabin following its penetration through the cabin wall.The study includes both experimental and theoretical analyses of the problem.The experimental investigation comprises of two types of explosives at the center of the cabin.The pressure distributions at diferent locations on the cabin wall are obtained.The efect of internal shock reflection is analyzed by using the method of images(MOI).It is found that the geometric symmetries can cause the multiple reflected shocks to converge with strength comparable to the initial free shock.

Discrete Image Approximations of Ionic Solvent Induced Reaction Field to Charges

Two methods of discrete images are proposed to approximate the reaction field from ionic solvent for a point charge inside a dielectric spherical cavity.Fast and accurate calculation of such a reaction field is needed in hybrid explicit/implicit solvation models of biomolecules.A first-and a second-order image approximation methods,in the order of u=λa(λ–the inverse Debye screening length of the ionic solvent,a–the radius of the spherical cavity),are derived.Each method involves a point image at the conventional Kelvin image point and a line image along the ray from the Kelvin image point to infinity.Based on these results,discrete point images are obtained by using Jacobi-Gauss quadratures.Numerical results demonstrate that two to three point images are sufficient to achieve a 10−3 accuracy in the reaction field with the second-order image approximation.

An Explicit Formula for Two-Dimensional Singly-Periodic Regularized Stokeslets Flow Bounded by a Plane Wall

We derive a closed form expression for the regularized Stokeslet in two space dimensions with periodic boundary conditions in the x-direction and a solid plane wall at y=0.To accommodate the no-slip condition on the wall,a system of images for the regularized Stokeslets was used.The periodicity is enforced by writing all elements of the image system in terms of a Green’s function whose periodic extension is known.Although the formulation is derived in the context of regularized Stokeslets,the expression for the traditional(singular)Stokeslet is easily found by taking the limit as the regularization parameter approaches zero.The new formulation is validated by comparing results of two test problems:the Taylor infinite waving sheet and the motion of a cylinder moving near a wall.As an example of an application,we use our formulation to compute the motion and flow generated by cilia using a model that does not prescribe the motion so that the beat period and synchronization of neighboring cilia are a result of the forces developed along the cilia.
