Taguchi method was used to optimize these factors for maximizing the mechanical properties of surface composites. The fabricated surface composites were examined by optical microscope for dispersion of reinforcement particles. It was found that Al2O3 particles are uniformly dispersed in the stir zone. The tensile properties of the surface composites increased with the increase in the volume percentage of the Al2O3 reinforcement particles.This is due to the addition of the reinforcement particles which increases the temperature of recrystallization by pinning the grain boundaries of the copper matrix and blocking the movement of the dislocations. The observed mechanical properties are correlated with microstructure and fracture features.展开更多
The effect of multiple span suspension structure on the mechanical response of bridge deck pavement was studied, and finite element analysis (FEM) of stress and strain of pavement according to the bridge floor system ...The effect of multiple span suspension structure on the mechanical response of bridge deck pavement was studied, and finite element analysis (FEM) of stress and strain of pavement according to the bridge floor system features of super-long and high flexibility was made. Meanwhile, the FEM results were compared with those of the single span suspension structure. Three-stage analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is developed to analyze the mechanical response including whole bridge analysis, partial beams section analysis and orthotropic plate analysis. The most unfavorable load position was determined by the numerical solutions acquired from each stage to study the main mechanical index of multiple span suspension structure. The FEM results showed that the mechanical response numerical solutions by using the three-stage AHP are greater than those by simplified boundary condition, and the force condition of multiple span suspension structure is worse than that of the single span suspension structure.展开更多

The main findings are as follows:The changes of kinetic energy are mainly attributed to the generation due to non-divergent wind. During the early stage of the typhoon landing, there exits only a small quantity of kinetic energy exchanging with the environment. And after it is transformed into an extratropical cyclone, a large amount of kinetic energy is exported from the system toward the environment.The horizontal and vertical flux-divergence terms of eddy available potenlial energy are the prominent sinks in the budgets of eddy kinetic energy. The generations of eddy kinetic energy due to both the barotropic and baroclinic processes are source terms. The former is remarkable during the initial stage. But after the depression is transformed into an extratropical cyclone, the roles of the generation by the barotropic and baroclinic processes are reversed, 1. e. , the latter has become more significant than the former.Diabatic heating is the most dominant heat source. The terms of vertical heat flux by cumulus and large-scale motion are the major sinks. And the latter is prominent after the system is transformed into an extratropical cycfone.展开更多

Through analyzing dry gel thermal treated at different temperatures, the possible synthesis mechanism of Pr doped BaTi4O9 powder was discussed. At first, Ti(OC4H9)4 hydrolyzes and three dimensional networks form, in which Ba2+ and CH3COO- are mostly in the form of ions; organic solvent is gradually volatilized through calefaction at 700 ℃, then the offspring is turned into BaTi5O11. With the temperature increasing to 850 ℃, BaTi5O11 begins resolving partly and forming BaTi4O9, and at 1000℃ Ba4Ti13O22 forms partly, but BaTi4O9 is the main crystal phase. BaTi5O11 and Ba4Ti13O30 decomposes completely at 1200℃ and forms single-phase BaTi4O9. The infrared (IR) analysis also shows that the absorbing peak of Ti-O bond is not in the characteristic absorption range of Ti-O-Ti (700-900 cm-1), but slightly shifted to the higher end (908 cm-1). It is probably because that doping Pr enters into the crystal lattice and causes the abnormal absorption of Ti-O bond.展开更多
