The behaviors of the large spin polarons in Nd 0.52 Sr 0.48 MnO 3 film at T c are studied and analyzed.The results show that only through necessary corrections can Wagners model become self consistent. A further exploration of the nature of the magnetically aligned clusters will make the model more convincing.展开更多

Three specimens were designed and tested to failure, and the structure behavior was studied by experiment and FEM analysis. On the basis of the results obtained, an estimation for local plastic and ultimate strengths of the connections using yield line theory was attempted, which results in a good prediction.展开更多

The method of 3D-VLE was developed to analyze the effects of concrete creep behavior on CFT structures. After the evaluation of the parameters in the proposed creep model, experimental measurements of two prestressed reinforced concrete beams were used to investigate the creep phenomenon of three CFT columns under long-term axial and eccentric load was investigated. The experimentally obtained time-dependent creep behaviour accorded well with the cu~'es obtained from the proposed method. Many factors (such as ratio of long-term load to strength, slenderness ratio, steel ratio, and eccentricity ratio) were considered to obtain the regularity of influence of concrete creep on CFT structures. The analytical results can be consulted in the engineering practice and design.展开更多

The cool tower was twisted, collapsed directionally and broken well according to the design requirements. The expected results and purposes of blasting were obtained with no back blow, total blasted pile approximates to 4 - 5 m, no occurrence of flying stones and no damage to fixed buildings and equipment, the large-sized hyperbolic thin-wall reinforced concrete cool towers are twisted during blasting and it collapses well with good breaking. The test and measurement of blasting vibrating velocity was carried out during blasting and the measuring results are much less than critical values specified by Safety Regulations for Blasting. The study shows that gap form, gap size and gap angle are the key factors to cool tower collapse and will give beneficial references to related theoretical study and field application.展开更多

Data from buried pipe tests on HDPE pipes with thirteen different profiles were included in the study. These tests were run in the soil cell at Utah State University. Also, parallel plate tests were also completed on the pipe samples. Data from 39 buried pipe tests were analyzed. The buried tests were at 75, 85 and 95 percent of standard Proctor density. This paper summarizes the results of that study and focuses on the tests buried in 85 percent dense soil. In addition to the experimental data, a portion of this paper focuses on finite element analysis results to confirm and extend the results from the physical tests. Design limits are recommended for several dimensionless parameters that describe profile geometry. One of the significant conclusions of this study was that pipes with profiles that perform well when buried in soil also perform well in a parallel plate tests. The identities of the pipe manufacturers are not disclosed, and pipes are only described in terms of basic parameters such as cross-sectional area and area moments of inertia.展开更多

However, there is limited information concerning the effect of water-saving irrigation methods on soil phosphorus (P) behavior. In this experiment, drip and subsurface irrigation methods were applied, with furrow irrigation method as control, in Mollic Gleysols. Soil P distribution throughout the depth was significantly affected by irrigation methods. Total, Olsen, organic and inorganic P contents were greater in the topsoil (0-10 and 10-20 cm) than in the subsoil (20-30, 30-40, 40-50 and 50-60 cm). The Olsen P content throughout 0-60 cm layer under drip and subsurface irrigation treatments was lower than that under the furrow irrigation treatment. However, the total, organic and inorganic P contents from 20 to 60 cm under drip irrigation treatment were higher than or close to those under furrow irrigation treatment, but were lower under subsurface irrigation treatment than under furrow irrigation treatment. Under subsurface irrigation treatment, the contents of total, organic and inorganic P at the 0-10 cm layer were 78.0%, 1.3% and 3.7% greater than those at the 10-20 cm layer, respectively. But Olsen P content at the 10-20 cm layer was 5.7% larger than that at the 0-10 cm layer. These suggested that soil P behavior could be manipulated by soil water management to some extent. 在展开更多

However, there is limited information concerning the effect of water-saving irrigation methods on soil phosphorus (P) behavior. In this experiment, drip and subsurface irrigation methods were applied, with furrow irrigation method as control, in Mollic Gleysols. Soil P distribution throughout the depth was significantly affected by irrigation methods. Total, Olsen, organic and inorganic P contents were greater in the topsoil (0-10 and 10-20 cm) than in the subsoil (20-30, 30-40, 40-50 and 50-60 cm).
