In this study the vertical angle of the cutting boom is discussed. First, a vertical swing detection model for the cutting boom is established. Then, a kinematic analysis of the vertical swing mechanism is made and formulae describing the geometrical relationship between the vertical swing of the cutting boom and the telescopic length of vertical hydraulic lift cylinders and vertical swing angle of the boom are presented. Various factors such as complexity of the calculation model, the difficulty of installing the sensor and the cost are compared for two methods. Finally, directly measuring the vertical swing angle of the cutting boom with a tilt sensor is decided to be the more simple and effective method. The detection sensitivity and the vertical cutting error of a tilt sensor are studied. Vibration tests on an EBZ160 roadheader were performed in a coal mine. The characteristic vibration frequencies are analyzed. A design of a vibration isolation mount for the tilt sensor is presented. It makes the detection device work more reliably under conditions where vibration is present and lays a foundation for the implementation of an automatic roadhead cutter. A tilt sensor is installed on an EBZ160 and an EBZ200, and experiments have been done in a coal mine. The re- suits show that the experimental result is favorable and achieves the goal of automatic control of the vertical swing of the cutting boom.展开更多

The welded tube NC bending tests were carried out to evaluate the weld on the formability of the QSTE340 welded tube. The results show that the wall thinning degree, cross-sectional deformation and springback angle increase significantly as the weld line is located on the outside of the bend compared with that located on the middle and inside, and the welded tubes produce nearly identical performance as the weld line is located on the middle and inside. The wall thickening degree decreases much as the weld line is located on the inside of the bend. So the welded tube can acquire good bending formability as the weld line is located in the region away from the outside of the bend.展开更多

One of the key issues in landscape evolution is to characterize the topographic steady state of mountain belts. The Taiwan mountain belt is an extraordinary case due to its extremely high uplift and denudation rates. The uplift of Taiwan Island is caused by the oblique collision between the Luzon Arc and the East Asian continent. In this case, the mountain building process in the north always occurs earlier than that in the south,which causes the spatial distribution of steady-state regions.The East Central Range receives much research attention with the presence of river basins that mainly distribute along the trajectory of the collision propagation. Normally, based on analyses of geomorphic parameters, the whole Central Range, or at least part of it, should be at a topographic steady state. However, the balance between uplift rates and denudation rates that exist in these regions is seldomly tested. In this contribution, we make a comprehensive literature review on the uplift and denudation rates derived from various approaches, including sediment yields, in-situ cosmogenic nuclide ^(10) Be, incision of river channels,thermochronology, and GPS observations. This literature review reveals that the topographic steady state may prevail in the northern and middle parts of the East Central Range.However, an obvious inconsistency in denudation rates calculated by different methods prevents us from better constraining the topographic steady state in some regions of this mountain range.展开更多

It is a new method of consolidating loose fine particles, which relies on the bacterially induced formation of a compatible carbonate precipitation around individual particles and at particle-particle contacts. Materials and cementation procedure are two major factors that influence the cementation performance of microbe-based cement. Besides, there are some other factors related to the performance, such as pH, temperature, metabolism activity, the flushed times of bacterial solution, concentration of substrate and calcium ion, etc., which affect consolidation function. The assessment methods for cementation process are carried out by various techniques. The performance of consolidation loose grains based on microbe-based cement is tested with the help of experiment. In this paper a review is presented on the cementation mechanism of microbe-based cement, techniques utilized to monitor cementation process, the consolidated performance by microbe-based cement and bond factors.展开更多

In our present work, a "mechanical controlla- bility index" (MCI) has been proposed to assess the controllability of mechanical deformation quantitatively. The index allows quantitative evaluation of the relative fraction of the controllable plastic strain out of the total strain. MCI=0 means completely uncontrollable plastic deformation, MCI=∞ means perfectly controllable plastic shaping. The application of the index is demonstrated here by comparing two example cases: 0.273 to 0.429 for single crystal A1 nanopillars that exhibit obvious strain bursts, versus 3.17 to 4.2 for polycrystalline A1 nanopillars of similar size for which the stress-strain curve is smoother.展开更多
