The mechanism of heat production was discussed and the value of critical fatigue damage temperature was calculated according to the P—ΔT curve. Results show that the variation trend of temperature is different between tension and fatigue tests. The temperature evolution in tension test consists of four stages: linear decrease, reverse linear increase, abrupt increase, and final drop. The initial decrease of temperature is caused by thermal elastic effect, which is corresponding to the elastic deformation in tension progress. When cyclic loading is above the fatigue limit, the temperature evolution mainly undergoes five stages: initial increase, steep reduction, steady state, abrupt increase, and final drop. The peak temperature in fatigue test is caused by strain hardening that can be used to evaluate the fatigue life of magnesium alloy. The critical temperature variation that causes the fatigue failure is 3.63 K. When ΔT≤3.63 K, the material is safe under cyclic loading. When ΔT3.63 K, the fatigue life is determined by cycle index and peak temperature.展开更多

After 6 passes, a high hardness of HV218 is achieved. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations demonstrate that ECAP leads to a significant grain refinement and ultrafine grains down to 100-200 nm are developed after 5 or 6 passes. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that the major part of Mg atoms are in solid solution in the deformed material, and the possible strengthening effect of Mg solute atom clusters or precipitates is neglected. The high hardness of the 6 pass-treated materials comes mainly from grain boundary strengthening, which contributes about 41% to the total strength, while dislocations and Mg solid solution contribute about 24% and 35% to the remaining strength, respectively. Also, the thermal stability of this severely deformed material was investigated by hardness measurements. The material is relatively stable when annealed at a temperature lower than 250 ℃, while annealing at 300 ℃ leads to a rapid softening of the material.展开更多

As will be seen here, for this problem, there always exists a possibility that this nonlinear model can successfully solve the problem, while the linear model can not. Also in the same setting, when the overlap between the initial state and the final stare is sufficiently large, a simple linear adiabatic evolution can achieve O(1) time efficiency, but infinite time complexity for the nonlinear model of adiabatic evolution is needed. This tells us, it is not always a wise choice to use nonlinear interpolations in adiabatic algorithms. Sometimes, simple linear adiabatic evolutions may be sufficient for using.展开更多
