Deformed microstructure and texture of Ti6Al4V alloy

Microstructure and texture evolution during hot compression of Ti6Al4 V alloy with an initial equiaxed microstructure were studied in the temperature range of 850-930 °C, strain rate range of 0.01-1 s-1 and engineering compressive strain of 70%. The results indicate that when temperature is below 900 °C and strain rate is higher than 0.1 s-1, the microstructure is mainly composed of elongated α grains. While deforming at higher temperatures and lower strain rates, dynamic recrystallization takes place. Electron back scattered diffraction（EBSD） result shows that during dynamic recrystallization, subgrain boundaries absorb dislocations and the recrystallized grains with high angle grain boundary form. At 930 °C dynamic recrystallization has basically completed, and needlelike α phase forms after water quenching. Pole figure analysis indicates that compared with the initial specimen, textures below 930 °C are weaker, while at 930 °C they are stronger.

Hot deformation behavior and processing map of Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy

The high-temperature deformation behavior of Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy was investigated by using the hot compression test in the temperature range of 600-800 ℃ and strain rate of 0.01-5 s-1. The hot deformation activation energy, Q, was calculated and the hot compression constitutive equation was established. The processing maps of the alloy were constructed based on the experiment data and the forging process parameters were then optimized based on the generated maps for forging process determination. The flow behavior and the microstructural mechanism of the alloy were studied. The flow stress of the Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing deformation temperature, and the dynamic recrystallization temperature of alloy is around 700 ℃. The hot deformation activation energy for dynamic recrystallization is determined as 485.6 kJ/mol. The processing maps for the alloy obtained at strains of 0.3 and 0.5 were used to predict the instability regimes occurring at the strain rate more than 1 s-1 and low temperature （〈650 ℃）. The optimum range for the alloy hot deformation processing in the safe domain obtained from the processing map is 750-800 ℃ at the strain rate of 0.01-0.1 s i The characteristic microstructures predicted from the processing map agree well with the results of microstructural observations.

SMART STRUCTURES USING PIEZOELEMENTS FOR ACTIVE VIBRATION AND NOISE SUPPRESSION IN AVIATION AND AEROSPACE

Smart material and structure (SMS) is a challenging novel technique for the 21 century especially in fields of aviation and aerospace. Vibration and noise suppression smart structure is an important branch of SMS. There are several typical structures such as the cabin of an airplane, space station, the solar board of satellite and the rotor blade of a helicopter, of which the vibrations and radiation noises have bad influences on precise equipments and aiming systems. In order to suppress vibrations and noises of these structures, several algorithms are applied to the models which simulate the structures. Experiments are performed to suppress vibrations and noises by bonding sensors and actuators to the structures at the optimized locations and using computer based measurement and control systems. For the blade vibration control of a helicopter, a non contact method of signal transmission by magneto electric coupling is discussed. The experimental results demonstrate that the methods used for active control are effective.

DAMAGES AND FAILURES OF SMART STRUCTURES

According to some observed dama ge phenomena in the smart structure systems, the issues related to the damage and failures of smart structures are addressed in this paper. A few possible damage patterns and the definition of the failure of the smart structures are given. It is pointed out that more attentions should be paid to the functional failures o f smart structures. The effects on the control the static deformation due to par tial debonding of PZT actuators are analyzed by the finite element method. Preli minary numerical results show that partial debonding of PZT actuators may have a p preciate reduction on their actuating ability thus reducing the control ability and accuracy of the smart structures.

Polycrystal modeling of hot extrusion texture of AZ80 magnesium alloy

The visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) model is extended to take the dynamical recrystallization (DRX) into account so that the hot extrusion texture of AZ80 magnesium alloy can be properly modeled. The effects of extrusion temperatures and imposed boundary conditions on the resulting textures were investigated, and good agreement can be found between the simulated and the measured extrusion textures. The simulated results show that the DRX grains are responsible for the formation of the {2110} fiber component since the {1010} poles of the DRX grains are tilted away from those of the unrecrystallized grains during the formation of their high angle boundaries (HABs). Furthermore, the basal poles of the grains are favorably oriented to the transversal direction (TD) where the imposed deformation is larger due to lower slip resistance of the basal slip. The elevated temperature enhances the activity of pyramidal ?c+a? slip modes and gives rise to a larger recrystallized volume fraction, resulting in a weakened extrusion texture.

Effect of temperature on microstructure and texture evolution of Mg-Zn-Er alloy during hot compression

The microstructure and texture evolutions in Mg-Zn-Er alloy during hot compression were investigated by using opticalmicroscope （OM）, field emission scanning electron microscope （EBSD） and transmission electron microscope （TEM）. The resultsindicate that the temperature plays an important role in dynamic recrystallization （DRX） mechanism. The twin dynamicrecrystallization （TDRX） is induced at a strain of 0.6 because of the activation of non-basal slip （a＋c ） dislocations at 200 ℃.Meanwhile, the continuous DRX （CDRX） occurs at 350℃, which is identified by the typical necklace-like structure around theresidual initial grains. The DRX contributes to the modification of texture significantly. The tension twins are responsible for theweak texture at 200 ℃. Meanwhile, the decrease in the basal texture is ascribed to the DRX sites which transfer from twinboundaries to initial grain boundaries as the temperature is increased from 200 to 350 ℃.

Mechanical properties of Mg-Gd-Zr alloy by Nd addition combined with hot extrusion

The effect of Nd addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-extruded Mg-9Gd-0.5Zr(wt.%) alloy was investigated. The Mg-9Gd-0.5Zr and Mg-9Gd-2Nd-0.5Zr alloys were extruded at 673 K. The elongated non-dynamic recrystallized(un-DRXed) grains disappear after adding Nd, and uniformly distributed dynamic recrystallized grains with a grain size of 1.68 μm were obtained in the alloy. In addition, numerous nano-Mg5(Gd,Nd)particles were found to precipitate dynamically in the Mg-9Gd-2Nd-0.5Zr alloy, which gave rise to the dynamic recrystallization process via providing nucleation energy through hindering the release of deformation energy and promoting an increase in the strength through the Orowan strengthening mechanism. Moreover, the dynamically recrystallized(DRXed) grains have a weak texture, which plays a significant role in improving the ductility. Therefore,the Nd addition favors the improvement of strength and elongation for the as-extruded Mg-9Gd-0.5Zr alloy,simultaneously.

The development of studying flexible pipe bend reinforced by Kevlar fibers

The flexible pipe bend can not only reduce the structural vibration and fluid noise in pipeline, but also realize the flexible connection of a horizontal line and a vertical line and compensate the displacement of three dimensions produced by the shock or vibration of pipeline in the special situations. Up to now, little attention has been paid to study the flexible pipe bend applied in the pipeline of medium or high pressure, because no appropriate framework materials can be used to reinforce it which must endure the burst pressure higher than 10 MPa. The investigation shows that it is possible to produce the flexible pipe bend of medium or high pressure if such fibers with high performance as Kevlar fibers are used to be its reinforced materials. However, its structural designing theory, manufacturing technology and measuring techniques aren't yet perfect and systematic, which leads to the instability of the performance of products. Furthermore, few references about its research can be seen. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically and thoroughly develop the structural designing theory, manufacture technology and measuring techniques of flexible pipe bend.

The Effect of Hydrostatic Pressure Fields on the Dispersion Characteristics of Fluid-shell Coupled System

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the vibration dispersion characteristics of fluid-shell coupled structures was studied.Both fluid-loaded cylindrical shells and fluid-filled cylindrical shells were considered.Numerical analysis was applied to solve the dispersion equations for shells filled with or loaded with fluid at various hydrostatic pressures.The results for external pressure showed that non-dimensional axial wave numbers are nearly independent when the pressure is below the critical level.The influence of internal pressure on wave numbers was found significant for the real branch s=1 and the complex branches of dispersion curves.The presence of internal pressure increased the cut on frequencies for the branch s=1 for high order wave modes.

NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE FORMATION OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WARM CURRENT I. BAROTROPIC CASE

In this work, Princeton Ocean Model (POM) was used to study the formation of the South China Sea Warm Current (SCSWC) in the barotropic case. Monthly averaged wind stress and the inflow/outflow transports in January were used in the numerical simulation which reproduced the SCSWC. The effects of wind stress and inflow/outflow were studied separately. Numerical experiments showed that the Kuroshio intrusion through the Luzon Strait and the slope shelf in the northern SCS are necessary conditions for the formation of the SCSWC. In a flat bottom topography experiment, the wind stress driven northeast current in the northern SCS is a compensatory current.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Liquid Phosphorus at High Temperature and Pressure

By performing ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we have investigated the microstructure, dynamical and electronic properties of liquid phosphorus （P） under high temperature and pressure. In our simulations, the calculated coordination number （CN） changes discontinuously with density, and seems to increase rapidly after liquid P is compressed to 2.5 g/cm3. Under compression, liquid P shows the first-order liquid-liquid phase transition from the molecular liquid composed of the tetrahedral P4 molecules to complex polymeric form with three-dimensional network structure, accompanied by the nonmetal to metal transition of the electronic structure. The order parameters Q6 and Q4 are sensitive to the microstructural change of liquid P. By calculating diffusion coefficients, we show the dynamical anomaly of liquid P by compression. At lower temperatures, a maximum exists at the diffusion coefficients as a function of density; at higher temperatures, the anomalous behavior is weakened. The excess entropy shows the same phenomena as the diffusion coefficients. By analysis of the angle distribution functions and angular limited triplet correlation functions, we can clearly find that the Peierls distortion in polymeric form of liquid P is reduced by further compression.

What are the benefits of a minimally invasive approach in frail octogenarian patients undergoing aortic valve replacement？

A best evidence topic was devised in light of a structured protocol. What is the advantage of （minl＂mally invasive） approach in （frail patients） undergoing （aortic valve replacement）？ In cardiac outpatient clinic you review an 85-year old male with severe aortic valve stenosis, low left ventricular ejection fraction and creatinine clearance of less than 50 mL/min. Other comorbidities include treated pulmonary hypertension, mild cognitive impairment, marked limitation of ordinary physical activity and depression. You resolve to determine whether to recommend mim＇mally invasive or conventional aortic valve replacement （AVR） or transcathe- ter aortic valve implantation （TAVI）, however you are not sure of the differences of the impact of frailty on preopera- tive risk for each approach; hence you investigate the best evidence on the topic.

Constitutive model for a new kind of metastable β titanium alloy during hot deformation

The constitutive model was developed to describe the relationship among flow stress,strain,strain rate,and deformation temperature completely,based on the characteristics of flow stress curves for a new kind of metastable β Ti2448 titanium alloy from isothermal hot compression tests,in a wide range of temperatures（1023-1123 K） and strain rates（63-0.001 s-1）.During this process,the adopted hyperbolic sine function based on the unified viscoplasticity theory was used to model the flow behavior of alloy undergoing flow softening caused by dynamic recovery（DRV） at high strain rates（≥1 s-1）.The standard Avrami equation was adopted to represent the softening mechanism attributed to dynamic recrystallization（DRX） at low strain rates（1 s-1）.Additionally,the material constants were determined by optimization strategy,which is a new method to solve the nonlinear constitutive equation.The stress—strain curves predicted by the developed constitutive model agree well with the experimental results,which con-rms that the developed constitutive model can give an accurate estimate of the-ow stress of Ti2448 titanium alloy and provide an effective method to model the flow behavior of metastable β titanium alloys during hot deformation.

A novel ring vibrating gyroscope based on side piezo-electrodes

Solid-state wave gyroscope is one kind of high-performance vibrating gyroscopes. The present work develops a new type of solid-state wave gyroscope—a ring vibrating gyroscope driven by piezo-electrodes located on the sidewall of the structure. It has advantages of large vibrating amplitude, high energy conversion efficiency and compact structure. The working principle of the piezoelectric ring vibrating gyroscope is based on the inertia effect of the standing wave in the axisymmetric resonator caused by Coriolis force. The finite element method(FEM) analysis has been implemented to characterize the ring type resonator. The prototypal gyroscope was manufactured and has been trimmed by mechanical way. The harmonic response of the ring vibrating gyroscope has been tested. The resonating frequency of the ring type resonator is 3715.6 Hz and the frequency split of the two working modes before trimming was about 5 Hz and was reduced to sub-0.01 Hz after trimming procedure. The Q-factor of the ring type resonator was 2504. Then, the turntable experiment was implemented. The measured scale factor k is 9.24 m V/[(°)·s] and the full scale range of the gyroscope is larger than ±300(°)/s.

Stability of roof structure and its control in steeply inclined coal seams

To improve the effectiveness of control of surrounding rock and the stability of supports on longwall topcoal caving faces in steeply inclined coal seams, the stability of the roof structure and hydraulic supports was studied with physical simulation and theoretical analysis. The results show that roof strata in the vicinity of the tail gate subside extensively with small cutting height, while roof subsidence near the main gate is relatively assuasive. With increase of the mining space, the caving angle of the roof strata above the main gate increases. The characteristics of the vertical and horizontal displacement of the roof strata demonstrate that caved blocks rotate around the lower hinged point of the roof structure, which may lead to sliding instability. Large dip angle of the coal seam makes sliding instability of the roof structure easier.A three-hinged arch can be easily formed above both the tail and main gates in steeply inclined coal seams. With the growth in the dip angle, subsidence of the arch foot formed above the main gate decreases significantly, which reduces the probability of the roof structure becoming unstable as a result of large deformation, while the potential of the roof structure's sliding instability above the tail gate increases dramatically.
