Effect of ultrasonic and mechanical vibration treatments on evolution of Mn-rich phases and mechanical properties of Al−12Si−4Cu−1Ni−1Mg−2Mn piston alloys

Effects of ultrasonic vibration(UV)and mechanical vibration(MV)on the Mn-rich phase modification and mechanical properties of Al−12Si−4Cu−1Ni−1Mg−2Mn piston alloys were investigated.The results show that the UV and UV+MV treatments can significantly refine and fragmentize the microstructures.In addition,UV treatment can significantly passivate the primary Mn-rich Al15Mn3Si2 intermetallics.The formation mechanisms of refinement and passivation of the grains and non-dendrite particles were discussed.Compared with the gravity die-cast alloys,the UV and UV+MV treated alloys exhibit improved tensile and creep resistance at room and elevated temperatures.These results can be attributed to the refinement of theα(Al)grains and the secondary intermetallics,the increased proportion of refined heat-resistant precipitates,and the formation of nano-sized Si particles.The ultimate tensile strength of the UV treated alloys at 350°C exceeds that of commercial piston alloys.This indicates the high application potential of the developed piston alloys in density diesel engines.

Influence of high frequency vibration on microstructure and mechanical properties of TIG welding joints of AZ31 magnesium alloy

A device for superimposing vibration on workpiece in both horizontal and vertical directions during tungsten-arc inert gas （TIG） welding was developed, with maximum power output of 2 kW at frequency of 15 kHz. AZ31 sheets with thickness of I and 3 mm were used in the vibratory welding. Microstructures along with the mechanical properties of the weld joints under different vibrating conditions （vibration direction, vibration amplitude and groove angle） were examined. It is observed that the grain size in welding zone decreases remarkably with the application of vibration, while the amount of second phase β-Mg_17Al_12 within the zone decreases slightly; meanwhile, microhardness of the weld joints, macroscopic tensile strength and elongation of the weldment increase. Vibration, especially the one along vertical direction, has more impact on the performance of the thick weldments. Influence of vibration on mierostructure and mechanical properties of weldments is affected by wave energy transferring in the melt and depends on the processing and geometric parameters including amplitude and direction of vibration, thickness, and groove angles.

The Influence of Blocking Mass Parameters on the Vibration Isolation Performance of a Power Cabin

Rigid blocking masses are located in the typical base structure of a power cabin based on the impedance mismatch principle.By combining the acoustic-structural coupling method and statistical energy analysis,the full-band vibration and sound radiation reduction effect of vibration isolation masses located in a base structure was researched.The influence of the blocking mass’ cross-section size and shape parameters and the layout location of the base isolation performance was discussed.Furthermore,the effectiveness of rigid vibration isolation design of the base structure was validated.The results show that the medium and high frequency vibration and sound radiation of a power cabin are effectively reduced by a blocking mass.Concerning weight increment and section requirement,suitably increasing the blocking mass size and section height and reducing section width can result in an efficiency-cost ratio.

Effects of electromagnetic vibration on the structure and mechanical properties of Al-6%Si alloy during directional solidification

The effects of electromagnetic vibration on the grain refinement in directional solid- ification were investigated. It was found that the electromagnetic vibration applied in the melt not only can refine grains remarkably but also can enhance both tensile strength and ductility values of Al-6%Si alloy. SEM graphs show that coarse dendrite structure was broken up into a somewhat globular structure, and the morphology of eutectic silicon was changed from flaky to fibrous under electromagnetic vibration treatment. The refine mechanism under electromagnetic vibration was discussed.

Forced response characteristics of bladed disks withmistuning non-linear friction

Aimed at the difficulty in revealing the vibration localization mechanism of mistuned bladed disks by using simple non-linear model,a mechanical model of the bladed disk with random mistuning of hysteretic dry friction damping was established.Then,the incremental harmonic balance method was used to analyze the effects of the parameters of bladed disks,such as the mistuning strength of dry friction force,coupled strength,viscous damping ratio and friction strength,on the forced response of the bladed disks.The results show that the vibrational energy localization phenomenon turns up in the tuned bladed disks if the nonlinear friction damping exists,and the random mistuning of the dry friction force intensifies this kind of vibration localization.

Effect of second-phase particle size and presence of vibration on AZ91/SiC surface composite layer produced by FSP

An improved method of friction stir processing(FSP)was introduced for the processing of AZ91 magnesium alloy specimens.This novel process was called“friction stir vibration processing(FSVP)”.FSP and FSVP were utilized to develop surface composites on the studied alloy while SiC nanoparticles were applied as second-phase particles.The effect of reinforcing SiC particles with different sizes(30 and 300 nm)on different characteristics of the composite surface was studied.The results indicated that the microstructure was refined and mechanical properties such as hardness,ductility,and strength were enhanced as FSVP was applied.Furthermore,it was concluded that the effect of reinforcing particles with a size of 30 nm on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the surface composite was more obvious than that of particles with a size of 300 nm.It was also found that mechanical properties and microstructure of FSV-processed specimens were improved as vibration frequency increased.The hardness value in the stir zone was about 157 MPa for the FSV-processed specimen at a vibration frequency of 50 Hz,while this value was around 116 MPa for the FSV-processed specimen at a vibration frequency of 25 Hz.

Effects of small-volume soccer and vibration training on body composition,aerobic fitness,and muscular PCr kinetics for inactive women aged 20-45

Purpose： The present study investigated the effects of 16 weeks of small-volume, small-sided soccer training soccer group （SG, n = 13） and oscillating whole-body vibration training vibration group （VG, n = 17） on body composition, aerobic fitness, and muscle PCr kinetics in healthy inactive premenopausal women in comparison with an inactive control group （CO, n = 14）. Methods： Training for SG and VG consisted of twice-weekly 15-min sessions with average heart rates （HRs） of ～ 155 and 90 bpm respectively. Pre- and post-measurements of body composition （DXA）, phosphocreatine （PCr） on- and off-kinetics, and HR measurements during stand- ardised submaximal exercise were performed. Results： After 16 weeks of training in SG, fat percentage was lowered （p = 0.03） by 1.7%±2.4% from 37.5% ± 6.9% to 35.8% ± 6.2% and the PCr decrease in the quadriceps during knee-extension ramp exercise was attenuated （4% ± 8%, p = 0.04）, with no changes in VG or CO （time- group effect： p=0.03 and p = 0.03）. Submaximal exercise HR was also reduced in SG after 16 weeks of training （6%± 5% of HRmax, p = 0.01）. Conclusion： Short duration soccer training for 16 weeks appears to be sufficient to induce favourable changes in body composition and indicators of aerobic fitness and muscle oxidative capacity in untrained premenopausal women.

Effects of Vibration Technology and Polyvinyl Acetate Emulsion on Microstructure and Properties of Expanded Polystyrene Lightweight Concrete

To prevent expanded polystyrene （EPS） beads from rising up to the surface in the molding process of EPS lightweight concrete, vibration with pressure was applied and the polyvinyl acetate （PVA） emulsion was adopted to improve its mechanical properties. The mechanical properties, thermal properties and durability of EPS lightweight concrete were tested. The microstruetures of EPS lightweight concrete were observed by scanning electron microscope （SEM）. Vibration with pressure reduces the number of small cracks. The 180 d compressive strength and flexural strength increase obviously as a large amount of PVA was added. The mixed amount of PVA has no obvious influence on the thermal performance when it is not more than 10% of the cement. Vibration with pressure and surface modification of EPS beads by PVA improve the combination of EPS beads with cement stone and the mechanical properties of EPS lightweight concrete.

Systematical Study on Photodissociation Dynamics of BrCN from 225 nm to 260 nm

The photodissociation dynamics of Br-C bond cleavage for BrCN in the wavelength region from 225 nm to 260 nm has been studied by our homebuilt time-slice velocity-map imaging setup.The images for both of the ground state Br(^(2)P_(3/2))and spin-orbit excited Br^(*)(^(2)P_(1/2))channels are obtained at several photodissociation wavelengths.From the analysis of the translational energy release spectra,the detailed vibrational and rotational distributions of CN products have been measured for both of the Br and Br^(*) channels.It is found that the internal excitation of the CN products for the Br^(*) channel is colder than that for the Br channel.The most populated vibrational levels of the CN products are v=0 and 1 for the Br and Br^(*) channels,respectively.For the Br channel,the photodissociation dynamics at longer wavelengths are found to be different from those at shorter wavelengths,as revealed by their dramatically different vibrational and rotational excitations of the CN products.

Wavelength-dependent Photodissociation Dynamics of Benzaldehyde

The ultrafast dynamics of benzaldehyde upon 260, 271, 284, and 287 nm excitations have been studied by femtosecond pinup-probe time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A bi-exponential decay component model was applied to fit the transient profiles of benzaldehyde ions and fragment ions. At the S2 origin, the first decay of the component was attributed to the internal conversion to the high vibrational levels of S1 state. Lifetimes of the first component decreased with increasing vibrational energy, due to the influence of high density of the vibrational levels. The second decay was assigned to the vibrational relaxation of the S1 whose lifetime was about 600 fs. Upon 287 nm excitation, the first decay became ultra-short （-56 fs） which was taken for the intersystem cross from S1 to T2, while the second decay component was attributed to the vibrational relaxation. The pump-probe transient of fragment was also studied with the different probe intensity at 284 nm pump.

Ultrasonic-assisted rapid cold welding of bulk metallic glasses

Glass-forming ability is a long-standing concern in the field of metallic glasses(MGs),which greatly limits their maximum casting size and extensive applications.In this work,we report an ultrasonic-assisted rapid cold welding of bulk MGs without using any additives.MGs with various compositions are welded together under a 20,000-Hz highfrequency ultrasonic vibration without losing their amorphous nature.The ultrasonic technology offers the advantages of rapid bonding(<1 s)at low temperature(near room temperature)and low stress(<1 MPa).According to the phenomenon observed in the experiment,the activated fresh atoms diffuse through the broken channel port under continuous rupture of the oxide layer,and the ultrasonic vibration accelerates the atomic-diffusion process.Finally,stable bonding of the MG interface is realized.This universal ultrasonic-assisted welding process can realize the composition design of dissimilar MGs as well as tuning of new materials with new performance.

Ultrasonic-assisted plastic flow in a Zr-based metallic glass

Ultrasonic vibration can be used for the micro-molding of metallic glasses(MGs)due to stress-softening and fast surface-diffusion effects.However,the structural rearrangement under ultrasonic vibration and its impact on the mechanical response of metallic glasses remain a puzzle.In this work,the plastic flow of the Zr35Ti30Cu8.25Be26.75 metallic glass with the applied ultrasonic-vibration energy of 140 J was investigated by nanoindentation.Both Kelvin and Maxwell-Voigt models have been adopted to analyze the structural evolution during the creep deformation.The increase of the characteristic relaxation time and the peak intensity of relaxation spectra can be found in the sample after ultrasonic vibration.It effectively improves the activation energy of atomic diffusion during the glass transition(Eg)and the growth of the crystal nucleus(Ep).A more homogenous plastic deformation with a weak loading-rate sensitivity of stress exponent is observed in the ultrasonic-vibrated sample,which coincides with the low pile-up and penetration depth as shown in the cross profile of indents.The structural rearrangement under resonance actuation demonstrated in this work might help us better understand the defect-activation mechanism for the plastic flow of amorphous systems.

Left-Right Non-Linear Dynamical Higgs

All the possible CP-conserving non-linear operators up to the p^4-order in the Lagrangian expansion are analysed here for the left-right symmetric model in the non-linear electroweak chiral context coupled to a light dynamical Higgs. The low energy effects will be triggered by an emerging new physics field content in the nature, more specifically,from spin-1 resonances sourced by the straightforward extension of the SM local gauge symmetry to the larger local group SU(2)_L × SU(2)_R× U(1)_(B-L). Low energy phenomenology will be altered by integrating out the resonances from the physical spectrum, being manifested through induced corrections onto the left handed operators. Such modifications are weighted by powers of the scales ratio implied by the symmetries of the model and will determine the size of the effective operator basis to be used. The recently observed diboson excess around the invariant mass 1.8 TeV–2 TeV entails a scale suppression that suggests to encode the low energy effects via a much smaller set of effective operators.
