云南地区强震前时空强分维特征

本文以标度变换法、相关函数法、最小二乘法分别计算时间分维D_t、空间分维D_s、强度分维D_m(b值),系统清理了云南地区1976年以来6级以上强震前时空强分维的变化特征,表明强震前的降维现象是普遍存在的,但各次强震前的异常三要素又表现出复杂的多样性。结果还表明,强震前小震活动在时间分布上的明显不均匀性主要表现在强震孕育地区,而在空间分布上的明显不均匀性却主要表现在强震孕育的外围地区。

2D Finite Element Computer Analysis of Strength for Brazed Joint of Cemented Carbide and Silver Brazing Filler Metal

Brazing has a wide acceptance in industries and its simplicity in variety of application attracts more and more patronage. The strength of brazing joint determines the reliability of brazed engineering components. So the need to ascertain the reliability or to predict its failure （without some destructive testing） becomes high even with a computer aided analysis using the Finite Element Analysis. Here, we have employed the services of FEA software, Abaqus CAE, as a tool for the computer calculation to investigate a joint case of cemented carbide brazed with silver-based filler metal. In this paper, 2D analysis has been adopted because the thickness of the material （in 2D） does not influence the final calculation results. We have applied constant loading and constant boundary condition to explore data from the elastic and plastic strain analysis through which we were able to predict the maximum joint strength with respect to the joint thickness. The pattern of the meshing was also significant. And the result could be transferable to a real-life field situation. The final results showed that there is an optimum thickness of the filler metal with the maximum strength which matches that obtained from experiment.

Strength Distribution Analysis of Typical Staple Fibers

The strength of staple fiber is an important property for yams and fabrics. Usually there are variations in individual fiber strength, and this will affect the finai strength of yarns and fabrics. In this study, Weibuli distribution function is used to analyze the strength distribution of various staple fibers. The strengths of wool, silk, cotton, flax, acrylic, polyester, glass, aramid and carbon fiber are tested. It is found that the strengths of cotton, polyester, glass, aramid and carbon fiber fit well with the two-factor Weibull distribution, while those of wool and silk with the three-factor Weibuil distribution. However, the strength distribution of flax cannot be expressed by either two- or three-factor Weibull distribution convincingly.

Stress analysis of single joint rock mass under triaxial compression

Based on the fundamental principle of rock mechanics, the stresses of single joint rock mass under three-dimensional compression were analyzed. The effect of the in-termediate principle stress on the strength of single joint rock mass were discussed in par-ticular. It is found that the strength of single joint rock are affected by the intermediate principal stress, which may be the main factor in some conditions.

Research on Testing System for Three-dimensional Distribution of Luminous Intensity of LED

In terms of asymmetrical three-dimensional distribution(ID) of luminous intensity(LI) of light-emitting-diode(LED),a testing system was conducted in this study. Design and principle of the testing system were introduced. 31 photometers were placed on a concentric circle,and all of them were used to gather LI data of LED at the same time. The data acquisition card(DAC) was used to gather multichannel data and controlled motor. Experimental results indicated that the testing system had achieved the goal of testing three-dimensional distribution of LI. And each parameter could meet the requirements of industrial production and measurement.

Experimental Investigation of Defects Inspection for FRP Pipeline based on Single-side NMR

The fiberglass reinforced plastic （FRP） pipelines have been used widely in oil-gas gathering and transportation. The defects of FRP pipelines would increase with the extension of service time. However, it is very difficult to detect the defects of FRP pipelines on-spot quickly. In this paper, a new method detecting defects for FRP pipes has been provided based on the NMR. The proton density distributions have been obtained at different depth of FRP components using single-side NMR. The experimental results show that there is a significant change of proton density distribution at the location of defects. And, these results would be useful for defects inspection of composite material component.

Effects of Vegetation Cover and Rainfall Intensity on Sediment-Bound Nutrient Loss,Size Composition and Volume Fractal Dimension of Sediment Particles

Vegetation and rainfall are two important factors affecting soil erosion and thus resulting in nutrient loss in the Chinese Loess Plateau.A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of rainfall intensities(60,100 and 140 mm h-1) and vegetation(Caragana korshinskii) coverages(0%,30% and 80%) on soil loss,nutrient loss,and the composition and volume fractal dimension of eroded sediment particles under simulated rainfall conditions.The results showed that vegetation cover,rainfall intensity and their interaction all had significant effects on sediment transport and the sedimentbound nutrient loss.Higher rainfall intensity and lower coverage led to higher sediment and nutrient losses.Positive linear relationships were observed between soil loss and nutrient loss.The treatments showed more significant effects on the enrichment ratio(ER) of nitrogen(ERN) than organic matter(EROM) and phosphorus(ERP).Compared with the original surface soil,the eroded sediment contained more fine particles.Under the same coverage,the clay content significantly decreased with increasing rainfall intensity.The ER of sediment-bound nutrients was positively correlated with that of clay,suggesting that the clay fraction was preferentially eroded and soil nutrients were mainly adsorbed onto or contained within this fraction.There were increments in the fractal dimension of the sediment particles compared to that of the original surface soil.Moreover,the fractal dimension was positively correlated with clay,silt,and sediment-bound OM,N,and P contents,whereas it was negatively correlated with sand content.This study demonstrated that fractal dimension analysis can be used to characterize differences in particle-size distribution and nutrient loss associated with soil erosion.

Subsurface crack propagation under rolling contact fatigue in bearing ring

The influences of subsurface cracks,distributing along the axial direction,on the rolling contact fatigue(RCF)faliure in a bearing ring are investigated.A realistic three-dimensional model of the bearing ring containing three subsurface cracks is used to evaluate the fatigue crack propagation based on stress intensity factor(SIF)calculations.Moreover,the distributions of the subsurface cracks along the axial direction are varied to study their effects on RCF.The results provide valuable guidelines for enhanced understanding of RCF in bearings.
