A new type of distribution valve used for hydraulic breakers, de- signed to reduce energy consumption, is analyzed on the basis of the operating principle and energy loss of the current distribution valve. The new distribution valve adopts a cone valve and the optimization technique of unequal open de- gree for the valve port. Theoretical calculations and analyses have proven that the new distribution valve can reduce en- ergy loss by 9.0127J, or energy consumption by 31%, during an impact cycle and the efficiency of the hydraulic breaker can be raised by 4.5%. It has the following characteristics: little leakage, little pressure loss and low energy consump- tion.展开更多

However, due to the decreased size of cement particles, beam damage during transmission electron microscope （TEM） observation becomes more severe than in conventional cement. In this work, irradiation damage to nano-C2S （dicalcium silicate） is observed and studied by in-situ evolution of diffraction patterns （DP）, high resolution TEM （HRTEM）, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy （EELS）. The results show that the damage to nano-C2S occurs through a decomposition reaction. Nano-C2S is first amorphized, and then re-crystallized into CaO nano-crystals with average size of 7 nm surrounded by an amorphous matrix of Si and SiO2. During this process, C2S particles exhibit volume shrinkage. The damage energy causing the reaction was analyzed and electron-electron inelastic scattering produced radiolysis and heat, leading to the observed phenomena.展开更多
