ON THE COMPOSITION UNIFORMITY AND SHAPE COEFFICIENT OF MOLTEN POOL BY LASER ALLOYING

The effect of the laser processing parameters on the composition uniformity and shape coefficient of fusion zone with laser surface alloyed Cr plated on medium carbon low alloy steel has been studied.It was found that the composition uniformity depends on the shape coefficient of fusion zone,and the later is a function of both power density and interaction time.If the power density is fixed to a certain value,the shape coefficient is directly,propor- tional to the interaction time.A completely,uniform molten pool can be obtained,when the shape coefficient is between 1.6 and 3.0.

The Application of Ridge Regression in Dynamic Balancing of Flexible Rotors Based on Influence Coefficient Method

Based on the model structure of the influence coefficient method analyzed in depth by matrix theory ,it is explained the reason why the unreasonable and instable correction masses with bigger MSE are obtained by LS influence coefficient method when there are correlation planes in the dynamic balancing. It also presencd the new ridge regression method for solving correction masses according to the Tikhonov regularization theory, and described the reason why the ridge regression can eliminate the disadvantage of the LS method. Applying this new method to dynamic balancing of gas turbine, it is found that this method is superior to the LS method when influence coefficient matrix is ill-conditioned,the minimal correction masses and residual vibration are obtained in the dynamic balancing of rotors.

The study on the bottom friction and the breaking coefficient for typhoon waves in radial sand ridges—the Lanshayang Channel as an example

Owing to the interactions among the complex terrain, bottom materials, and the complicate hydrodynam-ics, typhoon waves show special characteristics as big waves appeared at the high water level （HWL） and small waves emerged at low and middle water levels （LWL and MWL） in radial sand ridges （RSR）. It is as-sumed that the mud damping, sandy bed friction and wave breaking effects have a great influence on the typhoon wave propagation in this area. Under the low wave energy, a mud layer will form and transport into the shallow area, thus the mud damping effects dominate at the LWL and the MWL. And high Collins coef-ficient （c around 1） can be applied to computing the damping effects at the LWL and the MWL. But under the high wave energy, the bottom sediment will be stirred and suspended, and then the damping effects disappear at the HWL. Thus the varying Collins coefficient with the water level method （VCWL） is imple-mented into the SWAN to model the typhoon wave process in the Lanshayang Channel （LSYC） of the RSR, the observed wave data under “Winnie” （“9711”） typhoon was used as validation. The results show that the typhoon wave in the RSR area is able to be simulated by the VCWL method concisely, and a constant wave breaking coefficient （γ） equaling 0.78 is better for the RSR where wide tidal flats and gentle bed slopes exist.

Construction of Dynamic Alloy Interfaces for Uniform Li Deposition in Li-Metal Batteries

It is well accepted that a lithiophilic interface can effectively regulate Li deposition behaviors,but the influence of the lithiophilic interface is gradually diminished upon continuous Li deposition that completely isolates Li from the lithiophilic metals.Herein,we perform in-depth studies on the creation of dynamic alloy interfaces upon Li deposition,arising from the exceptionally high diffusion coefficient of Hg in the amalgam solid solution.As a comparison,other metals such as Au,Ag,and Zn have typical diffusion coefficients of 10-20 orders of magnitude lower than that of Hg in the similar solid solution phases.This difference induces compact Li deposition pattern with an amalgam substrate even with a high areal capacity of 55 mAh cm^(-2).This finding provides new insight into the rational design of Li anode substrate for the stable cycling of Li metal batteries.

Numerical Study on Ridge Ice Accretion and Its Effect Under Thermal Ice Protection

Under the condition of thermal anti-icing,the liquid water on the leading edge of the airfoil that would flow to the downstream non-protective zone will produce ridge ice,thus endangering flight safety.Based on the existing three-dimensional(3 D)icing model which considers the water film flow on the ice layer,an icing model with thermal boundary condition is introduced.With the boundary conditions of none anti-icing and thermal anti-icing,glaze ice accretion and ridge ice accretion are simulated on a simplified airfoil of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV),and then the lift coefficient and drag coefficient are calculated and compared with the smooth airfoil under the same conditions.The results show that the lift-drag ratio obviously decreases after glaze ice occurred on the leading edge under the condition of none anti-icing;and that after setting the condition of anti-icing heat flux in the impingement area,the glaze ice on the leading edge becomes thinner and the ridge ice occurs in the non-protective zone,so the airfoil with this icing characteristic gets a lower lift-drag ratio.

Influential factors on the repose angle of desert sands

The repose angle is one of the most significant macroscopic parameters in describing the behavior of granular materials. Under a static condition, the repose angle is the steepest angle at which sediment particles can rest without motion. In this paper, we use existing data and aeolian physics to analyze the main factors that influence the repose angle of sand dunes, and we investigate different repose angles involving various states and types of materials. We have determined that different factors have differential influence on the magnitude of the repose angle. Our results show that for powdery （〈400-μm diameter） desert sands, the main influential factor on the magnitude of repose angle is the molecular force among particles. Particle size does not influence the repose angle of desert sands directly, but has an indirect impact by affecting the grit sphericity and surface roughness, of which the grit sphericity acts as a major factor. Even at the same average particle size, the repose angle differs with different grain compositions. Furthermore, with increasing unevenness in grain composition, the repose angle increases correspondingly. Sand texture also has a direct influence on the repose angle of desert sands. In two sand samples having the same grain composition but different textures, the repose angles may be different. Water content has a stronger influence on the repose angle than any other factor. However, the relationship between the repose angle and water content is not a simple direct proportion. In fact, with increasing water content, the repose angle first increases and then decreases. These research results will be useful for understanding the mechanisms of dune transport, variations of dune morphology, and the stability and fluidity of dune sands.

Modified Cp Criterion for Optimizing Ridge and Smooth Parameters in the MGR Estimator for the Nonparametric GMANOVA Model

Longitudinal trends of observations can be estimated using the generalized multivariate analysis of variance (GMANOVA) model proposed by [10]. In the present paper, we consider estimating the trends nonparametrically using known basis functions. Then, as in nonparametric regression, an overfitting problem occurs. [13] showed that the GMANOVA model is equivalent to the varying coefficient model with non-longitudinal covariates. Hence, as in the case of the ordinary linear regression model, when the number of covariates becomes large, the estimator of the varying coefficient becomes unstable. In the present paper, we avoid the overfitting problem and the instability problem by applying the concept behind penalized smoothing spline regression and multivariate generalized ridge regression. In addition, we propose two criteria to optimize hyper parameters, namely, a smoothing parameter and ridge parameters. Finally, we compare the ordinary least square estimator and the new estimator.

Accuracy and Efficiency: The Comparison of Different RPC Parameters Solving Methods

As a generalized sensor, the RPC model with its accuracy equally matches the physical sensor model. Moreover, the accurate positioning combining with the flexibility in application leads the RPC model to be the priority in photogrammetry processing. Generally, the RPC model is calculated through a control grid. Different RPC parameters solving methods and the operation efficiency all serve as variables in the accuracy of the model. In this paper, the ridge estimation iterative method, spectrum correction iteration, and conjugate gradient method are employed to solve RPC parameters;the accuracy and efficiency of three solving methods are analyzed and compared. The results show that ridge estimation iterative method and spectrum correction iteration have obvious advantages in accuracy. The ridge estimation iterative method has fewer iteration times and time con-sumption, and spectrum correction iteration has more stable precision.

Field Performance Evaluation of a Small-Scale Drip Irrigation System Installed in the Upper West Region of Ghana

This study was conducted to evaluate the water application uniformity for a drip irrigation system, considering the water quality and the duration of usage. The uniformity parameters, Emission Uniformity (EU %) and Uniformity Coefficient (UC %) were determined for the drip irrigation system installed over a year of performance. The procedures are based on taking measurements of emitter discharge along selected driplines on a sub-main. The catch can be identified as L1A, L1B, L1C, L1D, same for L2A to L2D, L3A to L3D and L4A to L4D. This gave a total of sixteen (16) measurement positions as there were 4 driplines. Results indicated that the uniformity of water application was 90% indicating that the emitter was still good after a year of installation. The average discharge rate was 0.57 l/h. The uniformity coefficient (UC %) for the gravity-fed drip irrigation system was 78%, indicating good water application and was quite significant for the evaluation of the uniform distribution of water for the design. The expansion of this irrigation method in rural communities could contribute to relevant water savings in most areas of the Upper West Region of Ghana.

The Introduction of Specific Water and Maximum Airborne Specific Water &the Improvement of Dynamic Equations on Non-Uniform Saturated Moist Atmosphere

To eliminate the irrational supposition that condensed liquid water always falls immediately, specific water m?and maximum airborne specific water mm are introduced into the dynamic framework on non-uniform saturated moist atmosphere (m?is the ratio of the airborne liquid water mass to the moist air mass in unit cubage moist air, mm is its maximum value with , , and are airborne coefficient, vertical velocity and saturated specific humidity respectively). The balance equation between water vapor and airborne liquid water is derived. From the balance equation, a new formula of precipitate rate is got. The analysis shows that in the air stream with some upward vertical velocity ( ), the condensed liquid water can precipitate under the condition with (q is specific humidity) and? only, otherwise it is detained in the air and becomes airborne liquid water. Not only does precipitating liquid water contain condensed liquid water, but also contains converged and existing airborne liquid water. Following above discussion, improved dynamic equations on non-uniform saturated moist atmosphere are provided.

Analyses on uniformity of particles under HPGR finished grinding system

In order to deal with the disadvantages of excessive grinding and non-uniformity in finished particle under high-pressure grinding rolls （HPGR） finished grinding system, four aspects were investigated, including evaluating indicators, effects of operating factors, effect of particle uniformity on the flotation and formation mechanism of particle uniformity. Experiment of HPGR finished grinding system, cationic reverse flotation experiment and simulation test of particle bed comminution under the condition of quasi-static were carried out. Theoretical analyses indicated that both of uniformity coefficient and average particle size should be included in the uniformity analysis of the mineral particles. The results show that the effect of circulation fan impeller speed on particle uniformity is the most evident, HPGR working pressure and roll gap are second and HPGR roller speed is the last. Average particle size has a more obvious effect on the grade of flotation concentrate while uniformity coefficient has a more obvious effect on the flotation recovery. Considering the two aspects of grade and recovery, the optimal uniformity coefficient for flotation is 1.1-1.2 and the optimal average particle size for flotation is 50-55 μm. The operating factors which promote the shielding effect and compact effect in the HPGR finished grinding system should be strengthened based on the uniformity of particles.

Method of fuzzy uniformity analysis for simulation underwater acoustic signals

Since the simulation underwater acoustic signal is used in the semi-object simulation experiment of underwater weapons, it has great impression upon simulation fidelity. It is asked that whether simulation signals can replace the real signal effectually. Considering the randomness of signals, the interval estimation of feature parameters of simulation signals is made. By comparing the obtained confidence interval with the corresponding accept interval, the concept of similarity coefficient of simulation signals is given. By making a statistical analysis for similarity coefficient, the uniformity information of simulation signals is extracted, and the fuzzy number which expresses the fuzzy uniformity level of simu- lation signals is obtained. The analysis method on fuzzy uniformity of simulation underwater acoustic signals is presented. It is indi- cated by the application in simulation of target radiated-noises that the method is suitable and effectual for the simulation research on underwater acoustic signals, and the analysis result may provide support for decision-making relative to perfecting simulation sys- tems and applying simulation signals.

Laboratory experimental study of water drag force exerted on ridge keel

With the diminishing Arctic sea ice,the dynamic energy-exchange process between sea ice and ocean gains in importance.Concerning how the ice bottom topography affects the drift of sea ice,it is unclear how the ridge keel-drag force exerted by seawater changes the momentum balance of sea ice.We thus conducted laboratory experiments to investigate how the local drag coefficient of the ridge keel depends on keel shape and on the relative velocity of ice with respect to seawater.A dimensional analysis is used to obtain the relationship between the local drag coefficient Cr,the Reynolds number Re,the dimensionless keel depth h0,and the keel slope angleφ.The results indicate that the local drag coefficient Cr is only relevant to Re when Re<4000 and the flow is in the laminar regime.With increasing Re,Cr depends on h0 andφ,which are independent variables,as the flow transitions to the turbulent regime.The parameterization formulas for Cr are also provided.

为探明间歇喷灌和连续喷灌条件下的土壤水分运动规律,建立喷灌随时间变化的非均匀灌水边界下的土壤水分二维运动模型,借助COMSOL数值模拟软件,实现模型的求解,并通过土箱试验对模型进行验证,分析不同喷灌模式下土壤水分运动特征,评估喷灌均匀性和喷灌模式对土壤含水率均匀性的影响。结果表明,土壤含水率和土壤湿润峰模拟值与实测值之间的一致性较好。喷灌模式对土壤水分运动过程和含水率均匀度影响不大。随着间歇次数和间歇时长的增加,喷灌结束时表层土壤含水率减小、水分入渗深度增加。喷灌条件下,土壤含水率均匀度高于地表测得的喷灌均匀度。当喷灌均匀度为39.77%~80.15%时,土壤含水率均匀度为88.57%~94.47%。当喷灌均匀度较低、点喷灌强度较高、总灌水量较大时,采用间歇喷灌、增加间隙次数和总间歇时长,可以一定程度降低地表径流和深层渗漏风险、改善土壤含水率均匀性。研究可为喷灌系统设计均匀度合理取值和高效运行提供理论基础。
