Mechanical heterogeneity characterization of coal materials based on nano-indentation experiments

To investigate the complex macro-mechanical properties of coal from a micro-mechanical perspective,we have conducted a series of micro-mechanical experiments on coal using a nano-indentation instrument.These experiments were conducted under both dynamic and static loading conditions,allowing us to gather the micro-mechanical parameters of coal for further analysis of its micro-mechanical heterogeneity using the box counting statistical method and the Weibull model.The research findings indicate that the load–displacement curves of the coal mass under the two different loading modes exhibit noticeable discreteness.This can be attributed to the stress concentration phenomenon caused by variations in the mechanical properties of the micro-units during the loading process of the coal mass.Consequently,there are significant fluctuations in the micro-mechanical parameters of the coal mass.Moreover,the mechanical heterogeneity of the coal at the nanoscale was confirmed based on the calculation results of the standard deviation coefficient and Weibull modulus of the coal body’s micromechanical parameters.These results reveal the influence of microstructural defects and minerals on the uniformity of the stress field distribution within the loaded coal body,as well as on the ductility characteristics of the micro-defect structure.Furthermore,there is a pronounced heterogeneity in the micromechanical parameters.Furthermore,we have established a relationship between the macro and micro elastic modulus of coal by applying the Mori-Tanaka homogenization method.This relationship holds great significance for revealing the micro-mechanical failure mechanism of coal.

Effects of ultrasonic vibration on performance and microstructure of AZ31 magnesium alloy under tensile deformation

Ultrasonic vibration can reduce the forming force, decrease the friction in the metal forming process and improve the surface quality of the workpiece effectively. Tensile tests of AZ31 magnesium alloy were carried out. The stress–strain relationship, fracture modes of tensile specimens, microstructure and microhardness under different vibration conditions were analyzed, in order to study the effects of the ultrasonic vibration on microstructure and performance of AZ31 magnesium alloy under tensile deformation. The results showed that the different reductions of the true stress appeared under various ultrasonic vibration conditions, and the maximum decreasing range was 4.76%. The maximum microhardness difference among the 3 nodes selected along the specimen was HV 10.9. The fracture modes, plasticity and microstructure of AZ31 magnesium alloy also were affected by amplitude and action time of the ultrasonic vibration. The softening effect and the hardening effect occurred simultaneously when the ultrasonic vibration was applied. When the ultrasonic amplitude was 4.6 μm with short action time, the plastic deformation was dominated by twins and the softening effect was dominant. However, the twinning could be inhibited and the hardening effect became dominant in the case of high ultrasonic energy.

EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE ON THE PITUITARYTHYROID AXIS IN RABBITS WITH FRACTURE

PURPOSE: To observe the effects of acupuncture on the pituitary-thyroid axis in rabbits with fracture. METHOD: 36 male rabbits with a 3-mm width experimental defect in the middle segment of the left radius were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group, and the changes in serum T3, T4 and TSH contents in different weeks were investigated. RESULTS: Serum T3, T4 and TSH contents in the treatment group all were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences in the contents of T4 and TSH in the second week and T3 content in the fourth week (P

Subjectivity Versus Objectivity in Teaching Foreign Language

In this paper we propose to discuss the issue of subjectivity versus objectivity teaching practice of foreign language, especially English, in Brazil. Starting from the short story ＂The Parrot and Descartes＂ by Pauline Melville, we argue that Cartesianism has influenced a view on education which tends to consider good and valuable what is ＂scientific＂, ＂objective＂ and ＂universal＂. The subjective and the local seem to be considered undesirable and unreliable. Brazilian scholars on the education field, such as Coracini and Souza are important support for our argument.

Spatiotemporal dynamics in a network composed of neurons with different excitabilities and excitatory coupling

Spiral waves have been observed in the biological experiments on rat cortex perfused with drugs which can block inhibitory synapse and switch neuron excitability from type II to type I. To simulate the spiral waves observed in the experiment, the spatiotemporal patterns are investigated in a network composed of neurons with type I and II excitabilities and excitatory coupling. Spiral waves emerge when the percentage(p) of neurons with type I excitability in the network is at middle levels, which is dependent on the coupling strength. Compared with other spatial patterns which appear at different p values, spiral waves exhibit optimal spatial correlation at a certain spatial frequency, implying the occurrence of spatial coherence resonance-like phenomenon. Some dynamical characteristics of the network such as mean firing frequency and synchronous degree can be well interpreted with distinct properties between type I excitability and type II excitability. The results not only identify dynamics of spiral waves in neuronal networks composed of neurons with different excitabilities, but also are helpful to understanding the emergence of spiral waves observed in the biological experiment.

Implications of the Z_(cs)(3985) and Z_(cs)(4000) as two different states

Recently,the hidden charm tetraquark states Z_(cs)(3985)and Z_(cs)(4000)with strangeness were observed by the BESⅢ and LHCb collaborations,respectively,which are great breakthroughs for exploring exotic quantum chromodynamics(QCD)structures.The first and foremost question is whether they are the same state.In this work,we explore the implications of the narrower state Z_(cs)(3985)in BESⅢ and the wider one Z_(cs)(4000)in LHCb as two different states.Within a solvable nonrelativistic effective field theory,we include the possible violations of heavy quark spin symmetry and SU(3)flavor symmetry in a comprehensive approach.If Z_(cs)(3985)and Z_(cs)(4000)are two different states,our results show that Z_(cs)(4000)/Z_(cs)(3985)is the pure(|D_(s)^(*)D>+/-|D_(s)D^(*)>)/√2 state,and the SU(3)flavor partner of Zc(3900)is Z_(cs)(4000)rather than the Z_(cs)(3985).Another two important consequences are the existence of a tensor D_(s)^(*)D^(*) resonance with mass about 4126 MeV and width 13 MeV,and the suppression of the decay mode Z_(cs)(3985)J/ψK.The two consequences can be tested in experiments and distinguish the two-state interpretation from the one-state scheme.

Radial Forces in a Centrifugal Compressor; Experimental Investigation by Using Magnetic Bearings and Static Pressure Distribution

The volute of a centrifugal compressor causes a non-uniform pressure distribution which leads to a radial force on the impeller. This force was measured using magnetic bearings. In addition, the radial force was estimated using the static pressure distribution measured at the impeller outlet. The impeller force was found to be the highest at choke, the lowest at the design flow and moderate at stall. The radial force determined from the pressure measurements was only slightly different from the force obtained from the bearing measurements. The rotational speed was seen to affect the force to some extent.

Continuum damage mechanics for sintered powder metals

Sintered metals are characterized by the high porosity(8%)and voids/micro-cracks in microns.Inelastic behavior of the materials is coupled with micro-crack propagation and coalescence of open voids.In the present work the damage evolution of the sintered iron under multi-axial monotonic loading conditions was investigated experimentally and computationally.The tests indicated that damage of the sintered iron initiated already at a stress level much lower than the macroscopic yield stress.The damage process can be divided into the stress-dominated elastic damage and the plastic damage described by the plastic strain.Based on the uniaxial tensile tests an elastic-plastic continuum damage model was developed which predicts both elastic damage and plastic damage in the sintered iron under general multi-axial monotonic loading conditions.Computational predictions agree with experiments with different multi-axial loading paths.A phenomenological continuum damage model for the sintered metal is developed based on the experimental observations to predict the inelastic behavior and damage process to failure under multi-axial loading conditions.The proposed damage model is experimentally verified under different loading conditions.

Inclusive Cross Section Production of J/ψ in LEP

Cross section production is one of the observable quantities in the hadronic systems. Inclusive cross section production J/ψ may be calculated through the use of the fragmentation c → J/ψ. In this paper we calculate the inclusive cross section production J/ψ about the pole of Z^0 in the e^+e^- annihilation, through the lowest order regim of perturbative of QCD ananlyticaly. The obtained results arrive an excellent agreement with the exprimental data to produce the inclusive cross section production c → J/ψ.

Rotational properties of the odd-Z transfermium nucleus ^(255)Lr by a particle-number-conserving method in the cranked shell model

Experimentally observed ground state band based on the 1/2-[521] Nilsson state and the first exited band based on the 7/2-[514] Nilsson state of the odd-Z nucleus 255Lr are studied by the cranked shell model （CSM） with the paring correlations treated by the particle-number-conserving （PNC） method. This is the first time the detailed theoretical investigations are performed on these rotational bands. Both experimental kinematic and dynamic moments of inertia （f^（1） and ,f^（2） versus rotational frequency are reproduced quite well by the PNC-CSM calculations. By comparing the theoretical kinematic moment of inertia f（1） with the experimental ones extracted from different spin assignments, the spin 17/2- →13/2- is assigned to the lowest-lying 196.6（5） keV transition of the 1/2- [521 ] band, and 15/2→11/2- to the 189（1） keV transition of the 7/2- [514] band, respectively. The proton N = 7 major shell is included in the calculations. The intruder of the high-j low→lj15/2 （1/2-[770]） orbital at the high spin leads to band-crossings at hω = 0.20 （hω~=0.25） MeV for the 7/2-[514]ω= -1/2 （ω= ＋1/2） band, and at hω=0.175 MeV for the 1/2- [521 ] ω= - 1/2 band, respectively. Further investigations show that the band-crossing frequencies are quadrupole deformation dependent.

Experimental investigation on dynamic mechanical characteristics and microstructure of steam-cured concrete

Steam-cured concrete is widely used to manufacture prefabricated units of high-speed railway foundation structure such as girder and track slab.The dynamic mechanical property of steam-cured concrete is one of the key properties affecting service performance of high-speed railway foundation structure.In the present paper,serial macro/micro-experiments were carried out to investigate the dynamic elastic modulus,shear modulus,damping ratio,and microstructure of steam-cured concrete.The relationships between compositions,curing regime,microstructure,and dynamic properties of steam-cured concrete as well as the corresponding mechanisms were discussed.The results indicate that steam-cured concrete in early age has a larger dynamic elastic modulus and shear modulus as well as a smaller damping ratio compared with standard-cured concrete.On the contrary,at a later age a slightly smaller dynamic elastic modulus and a larger damping ratio of steam-cured concrete are observed.Addition of mineral admixture results in a bit lower dynamic elastic modulus and damping ratio of concrete than that of the control specimen without mineral admixtures.The achievements can provide some fundamental suggestions for materials parameters selection during structural design of steam-cured concrete precast element.

Effect of hydration on the elasticity of mantle minerals and its geophysical implications

Recent studies have shown that major nominally anhydrous minerals in the Earth's mantle, such as olivine, pyroxene and garnet, can incorporate considerable amounts of water as structurally bound hydroxyl. Even a small amount of water is present in mantle minerals, it can strongly affect a number of physical properties, including density, sound velocity, melting temperature, and electrical conductivities. The presence of water can also influence the dynamic behavior, lead to lateral velocity heterogeneities, and affect the material circulation of the Earth's deep interior. In particular, seismic studies have reported the existence of low-velocity zones in various locations of the Earth's upper mantle and transition zone, which has been expected to be associated with the presence of water in the region. In the past two decades, the effect of water on the elasticity and sound velocities of minerals at relevant pressure-temperature(P-T) conditions of the Earth's mantle attracted extensive interests. Combining the high P-T experimental and theoretical mineralogical results with seismic observations provides crucial constraints on the distribution of water in the Earth's mantle. In this study, we summarize recent experimental and theoretical mineral physics results on how water affects the elasticity and sound velocity of nominally anhydrous minerals in the Earth's mantle, which aims to provide new insights into the effect of hydration on the density and velocity profile of the Earth's mantle, which are of particular importance in understanding of water distribution in the region.

Light Enhancement in Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering at Oblique Incidence

Surface enhanced Raman scattering （SERS） measurements have been carried out at different focusing conditions using objective lenses of different numerical apertures. The experimentally observed dependence of SERS intensity of thiophenol-coated Ag nano-islands shows a close-to-linear scaling with the collection aperture. The linear relationship breaks down for large numerical apertures, which suggests that the scattering is anisotropic. Numerical simulations of realistically shaped Ag nano-islands were carried out, and the spatial distribution of hot-spots has been revealed at different heights near the nano-islands. Local field enhancements of up to 100 times were estimated. The simulation also suggests an explanation for the anisotropy in the scattering observed for larger numerical aperture objectives. This appears to be due to a reduction in the local field enhancement as the electric field vector component in the plane of the shallow metal islands reduces at larger angles of incidence.
