Modifications in aroma characteristics of'Merlot'dry red wines aged in American,French and Slovakian oak barrels with different toasting degrees

Aging in oak barrels is widely used in enology which could bring flavor changes and aromatic complexity to wines.In the present study,the aroma compounds were analyzed from the‘Merlot’dry red wines,which were fermented in two types of fermenters(stainless steel tank and rotated oak barrel)and aged in six types of oak barrels(three geographic origins×two toasting degrees)for different time(0,3,6 and 9 months,respectively).Results showed that 30 volatiles were associated with barrels and increased during oak aging.The fermenters could influence the intensities of the toast,leathery,smoky,fruity,floral and caramel aromas.The concentration of whisky lactone,eugenol,cis-isoeugenol,and the intensities of the toast and spicy aromas were highest in the wines aged in American oak and were lowest in the wines aged in French oak barrels.The concentrations of guaiacol,syringol,trans-isoeugenol,furfural alcohol,vanilla,cis-whisky lactone enabled the medium toasting barrels to be distinguished from the light toasting ones.The compounds originating from the barrels could be used to distinguish the types of different barrels,but the other general grape-derived and fermentation-derived volatiles could not.The fermenters,oak species and toasting degrees of the barrels all had significant effects on the aroma profiles of the aged‘Merlot’dry red wines,but the influence of the geographic origin was not obvious.

去胡须对大鼠行为及桶状皮层的影响

目的:研究外周去胡须后大鼠行为及桶状皮层(barrel cortex,BC)的可塑性变化。方法:SD大鼠随机分组(n=4):正常对照(A组),出生后第2天去除双侧颊脂垫组(B组),出生后第2天去除右侧颊脂垫组(C组),出生后1～5d每天剪右侧胡须,从出生后第5天起不剪由其胡须自由生长组(D组)。出生后第30天时称体重,测量左侧D2胡须长度,观测行为学变化(如狭缝实验、自由探索行为和趋壁行为)。采用细胞色素氧化酶组织化学法研究barrel排列与发育情况。结果:A组能迅速辨别出正确狭缝并钻入,平均用时(5.6±2.3)s;B组大鼠只有当鼻尖碰到狭缝壁时才会钻入狭缝。C组大鼠当其右侧脸颊靠近狭缝时,不能辨别出狭缝,只有当其掉转身体,用左侧胡须探测时才可能迅速钻入正确的狭缝。D组的表现同C组,B、C、D组大鼠进入正确狭缝的所用时间均显著长于A组(P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.01)。去除双侧颊脂垫的大鼠其左趋壁时间、右趋壁时间以及总趋壁时间均较正常大鼠短。去除右侧颊脂垫组的大鼠右趋壁时间也显著短于正常(P<0.05)。四组大鼠左侧D2胡须长度以及体重均无显著差异。从出生后第2天时一直剪除右侧胡须的小鼠在出生后第30天时发现其barrel变小,排列较混乱,barrel之间的界限不清,皮层细胞色素氧化酶(CO)反应的灰度明显变淡。结论:外周去传入不引起大鼠体重改变及残留胡须长度的代偿性改变,但可引起其趋触及探索行为方面的改变。外周去传入可导致barrel形状及排列的可塑性变化。

DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR OF AA6063 ALUMINIUM ALLOY AFTER REMOVING FRICTION EFFECT UNDER HOT WORKING CONDITIONS

The hot deformation behavior of AA6063 aluminium alloy has been investigated by means of compression tests at temperatures between 400 and 520℃, and strain rates ranging from 2.5 to 10 s^-1. Owing to the barreling, the theoretical model on the basis of Hills general method is used to calculate the flow stress of a cylindrical specimen under uniaxial simple compression so as to consider the friction effect at the die-specimen interface. A method of evaluating the friction coefficient by combining compression tests with the finite element method is presented. The real flow behavior of AA6063 aluminium alloy can be described with sinh-Arrhenius equation. The hot deformation activation energy Q derived from the corrected stress and strain data is 232. 350 kJ/mol.

Deformation inhomogeneity due to sample-anvil friction in cylindrical compression test

Finite element(FEM)analysis was used to systematically evaluate the inhomogeneity of deformation in cylindrical samples with various sample-anvil friction coefficients,m.It was found that the level of friction strongly influences the deformation homogeneity,which increases significantly with the friction coefficient although the overall geometry of the samples almost remains the same when m >0.4.The position,at which the effective strain along the maximum radial direction in a compressed sample is equal to the equivalent strain of the sample,does not vary greatly with respect to both equivalent strain of the sample and m.Hardness measurements of compressed cylindrical 5056B Al alloy samples revealed a change of effective strain distribution similar to that revealed by FEM analysis.There exists a quantitative relationship between the hardness and the effective strain if no recrystallization or recovery occurs during the compression process.

Modeling and simulation of bullet-barrel interaction process for the damaged gun barrel

In this paper,the influences of bore damage on the bullet-barrel interaction process and the mechanism of how bore damage results in the end of a machine gun barrel’s service life were studied,which had seldom been paid attention to in the past several decades.A novel finite element mesh generation method for the damaged barrel and a new transient coupled thermo-mechanical finite element(FE)model,which were based on the damage data obtained through barrel life tests,were developed to simulate the interior ballistics process of a coupled bullet-barrel system.Additionally,user subroutine VUAMP was developed in the FE model in order to take the bullet base pressure brought by propellant gas into account.Good consistency between the simulation results and the experimental results verified the preciseness of the proposed mesh generation method and the FE model.The simulation results show that the increase of bullet’s initial disturbance at the muzzle and the variation of its surface morphology caused by bore damage are primarily responsible for the life end of this 12.7 mm machine gun barrel.

A power function relation between number of rounds and barrel wear amount is created based on the test data from firing of large-caliber barrels. The function is optimized to fully fit the test data. A new concept of diameter change rate of bore is proposed and the law of barrel wear is put forward by means of comparing the diameter change rates for large-caliber barrels with different calibers. It is shown that the law of barrel wear is successful in barrel life prediction.

The Morphology and Structure of GABAergic Neurons in BARREL and VPM

To understand the structure of GABAergic neurons in the VMP and ＂barrel＂, the distribution of GABAergic neurons in the two areas were studied through immunohistochemistry and Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope. The results show that the distribution of GABAergic neurons in VMP and barrel are different, and the coding of information transmission in the two areas are also dissimilar; GABAergic neurons mainly distribute among the lines asymmetrically in VMP, the somata, dendrite and axon of GABAergic neurons are restricted in the ＂barrel＂, rarely having synaptic connections with other ＂barrel＂ around. Therefore, VMP and barrel may have different roles in transmission and on processing of informatiton.

Study on performance degradation and failure analysis of machine gun barrel

An increase in the use of the gun barrel will cause wear of the inner wall,which reduces the muzzle velocity and the spin rate of the projectile.The off-bore flight attitude and trajectory of the projectile also change,affecting the shooting power and the accuracy.Exterior ballistic data of a high-speed spinning projectile are required to study the performance change.Therefore,based on the barrel’s accelerated life test,the whole process of projectile shooting is reproduced using numerical simulation technology,and key information on the ballistic performance change at each shooting stage are acquired.Studies have shown that in the later stages of barrel shooting,the accuracy of shooting has not decreased significantly.However,it is found that the angle of attack of the projectile increases as the wear of the barrel increases.The maximum angle of attack reaches 0.106 rad when the number of shots reaches 4300.Meanwhile,elliptical bullet hole has appeared on the target at this shooting stage.Through combining external ballistic theory with simulation results,the primary reason of this phenomenon is found to be a significant decrease in the muzzle spin rate of the projectile.At the end of the barrel life,the projectile muzzle spin rate is 57.5%lower than that of a barrel without wear.

Fluid characteristic of multiphase fluid in annular space between pump barrel and plunger

The pump performance parameters,such as pump pressure,plunger friction and pump valve resistance,are fundamental parameters of optimal design of pump efficiency and sucker rod pumping system (SRPS).In this paper,considering the characteristic of geometrical nonlinear and rheology property of multiphase fluid,the pump performance parameters are studied.Firstly,a dynamics model of annular fluid flow is built.In the detail,a partial differential equation of annular fluid is established and a computing model of fluid pressure gradient is built.Secondly,the simulation models of plunger friction and hydraulic resistance of pump valve are built.Finally,a novel simulation method of fluid pressure in annular space is proposed with software ANSYS.In order to check up the correction of models proposed in this paper,the comparison curves of experiment and simulation results are given.Based on above model,the whole simulation model of plunger pump is simulated with Visual Basic 6.0.The results show that the fluid friction of pump plunger and instantaneous resistance of pump valve are nonlinear.The impact factors of pump performance parameters are analyzed,and their characteristic curves are given,which can help to optimize the pump motion parameters and pump structural.

Taper barrel rheomoulding process for semi-solid slurry preparation and microstructure evolution of A356 aluminum alloy

The self-developed taper barrel rheomoulding (TBR) machine for light alloy semi-solid slurry preparation was introduced.The semi-solid slurry was obtained from the intense shearing turbulence of the alloy melt in the cause of solidification, which was further caused by the relative rotation of the internal and external taper barrel whose surface contained wale and groove.The heat transmission model of TBR process, the flow rules and the shearing model of the alloy melt were deduced.Taking A365 as experimental material, the microstructure evolution rules under different slurry preparation processes were analyzed.The results show that decreasing the pouring temperature of A365 alloy melt properly or increasing the shearing rate helps to obtain ideal semi-solid microstructure with the primary particle size of about 70 μm and the shape factor of above 0.8.

Development of multi-physics numerical simulation model to investigate thermo-mechanical fatigue crack propagation in an autofrettaged gun barrel

In this research,a detailed multi-physics study has been carried out by numerically simulating a solid fractured gun barrel for 20 thermo-mechanical cycles.The numerical model is based on thermal effects,mechanical stress fields and fatigue crack mechanics.Elastic-plastic material data of modified AISI 4340 at temperatures ranging from 25 to 1200℃and at strain rates of 4,16,32 and 48 s^(-1) was acquired from high-temperature compression tests.This was used as material property data in the simulation model.The boundary conditions applied are kept similar to the working gun barrel during continuous firing.A methodology has been provided to define thermo-mechanically active surface-to-surface type interface between the crack faces for a better approximation of stresses at the crack tip.Comparison of results from non-autofrettaged and autofrettaged simulation models provide useful information about the evolution of strains and stresses in the barrel at different points under combined thermo-mechanical loading cycles in both cases.The effect of thermal fatigue under already induced compressive yield due to autofrettage and the progressive degradation of the accumulated stresses due to thermo-mechanical cyclic loads on the internal surface of the gun barrel(mimicking the continuous firing scenario)has been analyzed.Comparison between energy release rate at tips of varying crack lengths due to cyclic thermo-mechanical loading in the non-autofrettaged and autofrettaged gun has been carried out.

A New Treatment of Depression for Drainage Network Extraction Based on DEM

Depressions in landscapes function as buffers for water and sediment. A landscape with depressions has less runoff, less erosion and more sedimentation than that without depressions. Sinks in digital elevation models （DEMs） can be considered the real features that represent depressions in actual landscapes or spurious features that result from errors in DEM creation. In many hydrological and erosion models, all sinks are considered as spurious features and, as a result, these models do not deal with the sinks that represent real depressions. Consequently, the surface runoff and erosion are overestimated due to removing the depressions. Aiming at this problem, this paper presents a new method, which deal with the sinks that represent real depressions. The drainage network is extracted without changing the original DEM. The method includes four steps： detecting pits, detecting depressions, merging depressions, and extracting drainage network. Because the elevations of grid cells are not changed, the method can also avoid producing new fiat areas, which are always produced by the conventional filling methods. The proposed method was applied to the Xihanshui River basin, the upper reach of the Jialingjiang River basin, China, to automatically extract the drainage network based on DEM. The extracted drainage network agrees well with the reality and can be used for further hydrologic analysis and erosion estimation.

Amending Research on the Expression of the Contact Force of the Spindle Barrel Finishing Based on EDEM Simulation

The spindle barrel finishing is commonly used to improve the surface integrity of the important parts of the high-end equipment while it is difficult to provide enough test artifacts for the traditional trial and error experiment to obtain the desirable processing technology.The EDEM simulation of the spindle barrel finishing can provide effective help for the process design,however,the difference between the simulation and experiment is closely related to the selection of the contact model during simulation.In this paper,simulations and experiments are conducted based on the identical apparatus and conditions to facilitate the comparison and validation between each other.Based on the Hertz contact theory,the effect of the material properties of contact objects and the relative position of the workpiece on the contact force is qualified.The expression of the correlation coefficient of the contact model is deduced.Then the formula for calculating the contact force between the barrel finishing abrasive and the workpiece that includes influence coefficient of the material properties and the relative positions is established.Finally,the contact force calculation formula is verified by changing the rotating speed.The result shows that the material correction coefficient ranges from 1.41 to 2.38,which is inversely related to the equivalent modulus E.The position correction coefficient ranges from 2.0 to 2.3.The relative error value between the calculation result and the experimental test result is from 0.58%to 14.07%.This research lay a theoretical foundation for the correction theory of the core elements of the spindle barrel finishing process.
