The progresses of understanding of the corrosion inhibitor adsorption on copper surface from extensive experimental studies were reviewed here. In this respect the kinetic and equilibrium studies involve organic compounds, non-organic compounds and their derivatives on copper surface from the solution. Kinetics and equilibrium adsorption of corrosion inhibitors at the copper surface depend on the nature of compounds and the nature of the copper surface. Studies have been reported on the influence of corrosion inhibitors structure, concentration, media as well as temperature that inhibitor was used in on inhibition efficiency. Moreover, inhibition action mechanisms were also studied. Adsorption models of compounds on copper surface are built to predict of possibilities of newly synthesized compounds to act as corrosion inhibitors by combining theory and practical investigations of substances with similar structure.

The yak horn analysis model is created based on the measurement and analysis of the macroscopic structural characteristics of yak horn. Then, the influences of the conical structure on the stress and strain distribution of the yak horn are analyzed using finite element method. The measurement results show that the macroscopic structure along the axial direction of the yak horn has a gradient distribution, and the steepness of the conical structure is about 42. The analysis results show that the steepness of the conical structure of the yak horn affects the distribution of stress and strain. When the yak horn model with the steepness of 42 is subjected to external load, its stress distribution is more uniform, which can effectively improve the strength and toughness of the horn. The above analysis results show that the excellent mechanical properties of yak horn are closely related to its structural gradient, and the steepness of 42 is a long-term natural optimization result, which is benefit to structural bionic design.

The flowability of metal powder is an important factor that can affect the quality of printing metal parts in powder bed, which has a significant effect on the quality of 3D printed parts. In this paper, the commercial TC4 powder prepared by plasma atomization (PA), Electrode Induction-melting inert Gas Atomization (EIGA) and plasma rotation electrode process (RFP) was used as the research object. The traditional static flow test method and FT4 powder rheometer were used to test the dynamic performance of TC4 powder. The flowability properties of powder materials are characterized by the combination of integral properties and Dynamic rheological properties to determine the more important powder flowability parameters for 3D printing and to provide a theoretical reference for the preliminary screening of powder for printing. The results show that the particle size, particle size distribution, particle surface finish and particle size uniformity have great influence on the flowability, but the effect of particle size composition on the apparent density is not a single value. The powder sample with good surface finish and uniform particle size has good flowability. The basic flow energy of the powder sample produced by PA is small, the shear stress between the powder layers is small, and it is easy to slide, but not easy to improve the flowability of powder by aeration. The basic flow energy of powder samples produced by EIGA is the highest. Powder compressibility is the worst. Its air permeability is not good, the wall friction action is small, is not easy to adhere. The effect of vibration on the flowability of powder is small. The basic flow energy of the powder samples produced by RFP is smaller because of its large particle size and better sphericity. The compressibility and permeability of the powder are better. The shear action between the powder layer and the interlayer and the friction on the wall are smaller and the relative viscosity is weaker. The powder is insensitive to the flow rate, and the effect of vibration on the flowability is relatively small.

This paper aimed at the problem that it is impossible to evaluate the depths of the surface-breaking defect of austenitic stainless steel pressure pipes using the Magnetic Particle Testing(MT) and Penetration Testing(PT) methods. A quantitative method for measuring the depths of the surface-breaking defect of austenitic stainless steel pressure pipes based on eddy current array testing (ECAT) was proposed. According to the imaging features of defective ECAT correlation, by analyzing the change trend of the color, impedance amplitude and impedance phase of the C scanning, the corresponding relationship between the depth of the defect can be established, and finally, the effective evaluation of the depth of the opening defect on the surface of the material can be realized. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method.

The design method of pressure vessel consists of the elastic analysis method and the elastic-plastic analysis method. The design method based on elastic-plastic theory with more complex computation process contributes to lightweight design, and avoids uncertainty of stress classification in the complex structures. Tubesheet is the main part of high pressure heater, which is very thick based on Chinese code GB151 for the design of heat exchangers. Increased tubesheet with large thermal stress are not conducive to manufacture, heat transmission and detection. The application of limit load method and elastic-plastic method in the analysis and design of high pressure heater tube is to provide direction for the lightweight research of tubesheet. It is shown that high stress appears on the inner wall of jointing of tubesheet with the head due to the original tubesheet owning enough rigidity related to thickness, which should be noted in the design. The limit load method and elastoplastic method could be assessed in the plastic collapse assessment after optimizing the thickness of the tube plate by 5% on the basis of the existing rule design. Compared with the limit load method, the elastic-plastic method could obtain higher limit load due to its higher computational precision. On the other hand, the design method of elastic-plastic analysis method is not required to consider the determination of limit load per ASME VIII-2 judged by its convergence. The elastic-plastic analysis method is worth further study, which is helpful to the revision and improvement of relevant standards in China.

Biodegradable materials are of great importance in the development of novel drug delivery system. Here, the apatite/gelatin composite microspheres were synthesized as the mixture of apatite and gelatin was emulsified in the plant oil and then cross-linked with 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide. Their biodegradability and drug delivery property were evaluated. The resultant microspheres were characterized with an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope, a transmission electron microscope, an X-ray diffractometer and a Fourier transform infrared spectroscope. The results have indicated that the as-synthesized microspheres were spherical in shape and had a size range of 50-230 μm. After soaked in the phosphate buffer saline (pH = 7.4), the composite microspheres were biodegradable and their biodegradation rate approximated 28 ± 2% after 14 days of incubation. It was further found that the present composite microspheres could support the encapsulation of tetracycline hydrochloride as model drug and presented a sustained drug release behavior.

In order to reduce the damage caused by vehicle-bridge collisions and improve the safety of road vehicles, a design method based on stiffness matching was proposed. The vehicle-device-bridge dynamic model was established. The optimal design of the vehicle-collision prevention device for bridges was carried out based on stiffness matching. The collision models were established by using Ls-dyna finite element analysis software, and the protective performance of the collision prevention device for car and truck under typical working conditions were studied. The results show that the stiffness of the anti-collision facility is inversely proportional to the deformation and directly proportional to the impact force. Compared with the impact of bare piers, the peak value of the impact force is obviously reduced after the anti-collision device is added. due to the different rigidity of the vehicle, the maximum peak value of the car is reduced by 40% and the maximum peak value of the truck is reduced by 33.6%. The curve is smooth and the peak arrival time is prolonged, thus achieving a better energy consumption buffering effect. The anti-collision device designed by stiffness matching has strong applicability and can exert better anti-collision and energy consumption effects under different collision conditions.

The paper deals with the fracture analysis of 1Cr17Ni1 after tensile(quasistatic fracture) and impact testing(Dynamic fracture) at room temperature. The temperatures of solution are 900°C, 950°C, 1000°C, 1050°C, 1100°C and 1150°C, respectively. The influence of thermal expositions on tensile properties is found to be obscure. On the other hand, remarkable effects of solution temperatures on room temperature impact toughness are observed. Dynamic and quasistatic fracture behaviour of the 1Cr17Ni1 stainless steel is strongly affected by Volume Fraction, shape of Martensite Islands. In this paper, quasistatic fracture and dynamic fracture behavior of granular structure steels is predicted by Eshelby equivalent inclusion model incorporating the plastic deformation of martensite islands. According to the above laws, we establish the relationship between volume fraction/shape of Martensite Islands and mechanical properties in order to provide technical support for improving the dynamic mechanical properties of the material.

Nano-indentation experiments are carried out on two cement pastes in order to get mechanical properties of cement pastes. For the comparison of initial cement paste, metakaolin as a valuable admixture for concrete/cement applications is added, considered to increase the reactivity of pozzolans. Statistical analysis on a number of indent points can be traced back to a medium modulus of elasticity. The averaged elastic moduli of typical phases in cement pastes are thus determined. Young's moduli of CH phases is about 44.7GPa by nano-indentation experiment, which are close to the previous simulation values and other references. Besides, Young's moduli of Calcite and clinker averaged by nano-indentation experiment are 86.695GPa and 102.230GPa, which are separately in relative good agreement with simulation values of 84.549GPa by Jia and 85.41-145.56GPa (porosity: 10%) by Arar. A systematic approach is developed to validate and to assess the elastic parameters associated with each phase. The P-h curves of the simulation and experiment are compared to conclude on the feasibility of the methodology.

This paper attempts to establish the relationship between fractal parameters and the relative machinability of ferrous metal materials. Four kinds of common ferrous metals were selected for turning under the same machining parameters and the corresponding surface topography was obtained by OLYMPUS DX110 ultra-depth microscope. Afterwards the fractal parameters were calculated based on the fractal theory and MATLAB. Finally, the relationship between fractal dimension D and relative machinability Kr was analysed. The results indicated that with the increase of fractal dimension D, the relative machinability Kr shows an increasing trend and the mathematical relationship between them was established, which could provide a theoretical basis for improving the machinability of work-piece materials.

Thirty percent cement is respectively replaced by equal quantity red volcanic ash and gray one which are from Yunnan province . Under the same diffusance, the mortal test block of cement, cement-gray volcanic ash, and cement-red one were produced, respectively. Meanwhile the mortar mechanical properties of volcanic ash admixture and non-admixture were compared. The results show that adding these two kind of volcanic ashes into cement will reduce the strength of cement mortar system to some extent. On the basis of this, the micro-analysis of the three mortal systems is performed. The results indicate the strength decrease of cement mortal system is caused by decrease of hydrated calcium silicate crystal which are produced through hydration reaction, and decrease of crystal space structure due to adding volcanic ash.

The nanocomposites were prepared by adding nano-CaCO3, nano-TiO2 and POE in different proportions to the recycled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic. Six different types of recycled ABS plastic modified nanocomposites were prepared. Three mechanical properties of the newly prepared materials were tested, including the tensile strength, impact strength, and flexural strength.

The effects of different heat treatment conditions (T4 solid solution, T6 solid solution + artificial aging) on the stress corrosion cracking behavior of cast AZ91 magnesium alloy were investigated. The results show that the heat treatment can significantly improve the stress corrosion cracking resistance, which will be attributed to the change of microstructure and composition distribution after heat treatment, improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy, and hinder the hydrogen evolution process of the cathode, thus weakening the hydrogen embrittlement effect. The heat treatment stress corrosion fracture is still cleavage fracture, but the plasticity characteristics are significantly increased compared with the as-cast fracture.

Using investigation on Cadmium (Cd) in surface and bottom waters in this bay during 1984-1986, this paper analyzed the horizontal distributions, identified the different distribution trends, and provided block diagram model to demonstrate the migration processes of Cd. Results showed that the horizontal distriution trends of Cd in bay waters were determined by the source inputs, the transport paths and the horizontal and vertical water's effects. This indicated that the distribution trends of Cd contents in surface and botom waters would be consistent even if the source strengths were different. There were three different horizontal distribution trends, namely "Yang's horizontal distribution trends". The horizontal migration processes were showing three different status as 1) the settlement of Cd had not been arrived at sea bottom, 2) the settlement of Cd had been arrived at sea bottom, and 3) the accumulation of Cd had been occurred at sea bottom. The path ways and remaining traces of Cd could be defined in according to "Yang's horizontal distribution trends".

Using investigation on Cadmium (Cd) in surfac waters in Jiaozhou Bay during 1984-1988, this paper researched seasonal variations of Cd contents and the variations of the source inputs, identified the source strength ratio and source input ratio, and displayed the changing processes of Cd. Restult showed that the major sources of Cd in Jiaozhou Bay were marine current, river runoff and atmosphere depostion, and the source strengths were 0.12-6.48 µg L−1, 0.12-1.07 µg L−1, 0.04 µg L−1, respectively. The seasonal variations of Cd contents were mainly determined by the seasonal variations of the source inputs. Marine current was the strongest Cd source and source input in Jiaozhou Bay during 1984-1988, yet the source strength and source input of atmosphere deposition could be considered as very slight.

A 3D nuclear containment vessel structure was modelled in FE package tool ABAQUS to perform time analysis. The maximum displacement in X direction occurred at the top of the structure dome under the excitation of three different seismic records; the time at which the top response acceleration peak of the structure does not coincide with the time of the base input seismic wave peak, and it is mainly related to the relation between the period of natural vibration and the period of seismic waves; Under the different seismic waves' excitation of 0.2 g peak acceleration, the tensile stress around the equipment hole and near connection between the bottom plate and the cylinder body is large, while the maximum tensile stress appears around the hole of the device. In the design of nuclear containment vessel structure, the displacement of the top should be controlled and the reinforcement ratio around equipment hole should be increased.

High-water rapid-setting material is a type of cement-based material, which is high water contained, rapid hardening and has early strength. Hydrating and hardening mechanism of this material have been studied by XRD and SEM, the influence of different curing time, gypsum lime content and water-cement ratio on the hydrating and hardening process was explored. The hydration products were measured by XRD. The results show that ettringite is the main product of hydration and hardening. With the increase of curing age, the amount of ettringite increases gradually. The amount of limestone gypsum affects the amount of ettringite. The lower the water-cement ratio is, the more ettringite is formed. SEM analysis shows that hydration reaction will continue with age. The shape of ettringite turns from the acicular to the columnar. Gradually it becomes compact forming network structure. Hydrated calcium aluminate and aluminium hydroxide filled in the network structure which makes the material more compact. Increasing the amount of gypsum within a certain range will promote the formation of ettringite. The lower the water cement ratio is, the more compact the ettringite is and the stronger the material is. Finally, based on the hydration products and microstructure of the material, the hydration reaction equation was established and the growth process of strength was analyzed, and it provides the basis for the study of the durability of the material.

The new grouting material with advantages of early strength, strong liquidity, better expansibility and environmental protection can be applied to underground structure engineering. The effects of different w/b ratios, curing ages, limes and SiO2 on the compressive strength of the new grouting material were investigated. By SEM and TGA-DSC analysis, its microscopic morphology and hydration products are explored. The results show that the early strength of the new grouting material develops rapidly, and the 3d compressive strength can reach 80% of the 28d compressive strength. Under the condition that the w/b ratio is 1.0, the compressive strength increases with CaO content in lime increasing. The addition of micron-SiO2 can improve compressive strength by about 5% when the formulation is reasonable. The main hydration products of SEM-EDS are needle-like ettringite, spherical aluminum gel and amorphous C-S-H(C-A-S-H) gel, corresponding to three endothermic peaks appearing in TGA-DSC at around 90°C, 230°C and 660 °C, respectively.

Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) is important and biodegradable semi-crystalline polymer with promising application in industry. To estimate the effect of synthesized hydroxyapatite (HA) on the performance of PLLA, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to investigate the crystallization of PLLA/HA composites. DSC showed that HA could accelerate the crystallization of PLLA, and the relationship between HA content and nucleation effect was not linear. However, 10 wt% HA had the best crystallization nucleation effect for PLLA. XRD analysis further confirmed the nucleation effect of HA, and there existed an interesting fact that the intensity of characteristic peak of PLLA/HA after isothermal became weak with an increase of HA content. XRD measurement for PLLA/0.5%HA after different isothermal temperatures showed that the crystallization temperature played important role in crystallization of PLLA.

In order to study the effect of warm mix agent on the mechanical properties of warm mix asphalt mixture before and after aging, this article uses the uniaxial compression test and the uniaxial dynamic modulus test which were carried out on the unaged, short-term aging and long-term aging conditions of the matrix and SBS modified asphalt mixture mixed with RH and Evotherm warm mix agent respectively. The results show: the performance of each asphalt mixture at low temperature and high frequency is equivalent, indicating that dynamic mechanics is not suitable for evaluating the low temperature performance of asphalt mixture; high temperature and low frequency can be used as an evaluation index for high temperature anti-rutting of asphalt mixture. By analyzing the rebound modulus, uniaxial dynamic modulus and other results, it shows that the addition of the warm mix agent improves the low temperature performance of the asphalt mixture, alleviates the aging of the asphalt mixture, and the aging of the aging also brings about a decrease in high temperature stability. The beneficial effect of the Evotherm is weak, and the low temperature performance of the asphalt mixture after aging and the high temperature stability of the warm asphalt mixture after long-term aging are improved. From the comprehensive analysis of static and dynamic mechanical properties, the elastic modulus and dynamic modulus of asphalt mixture are not much different, and the dynamic static modulus of the mixture after aging is quite different, which provides a theoretical basis for the dynamic and static modulus transformation.

The effects of USP warm-mixed agent, Evo warm-mixed agent and aging degree on the low temperature performance and micro-morphology of SBS modified asphalt were analyzed by ductility test, bending creep stiffness test (BBR) and atomic force microscope (AFM) scan test. The test results show that: The ductility test analysis shows that USP warming agent can improve the low temperature performance of SBS modified asphalt in the positive temperature zone, and aging reduces the ductility of warm mixed asphalt, in which Evo warm mix asphalt has the strongest ability to resist thermal aging. BBR test analysis shows that USP warm mixed agent improves the low temperature performance of the negative temperature zone of SBS modified asphalt, but this improvement is limited by the aging effect, the comparison analysis found that creep loading time had a significant impact on the creep compliance derivative, it is more than the effect of warm-mixed agent, and aging can accelerate warm mix asphalt into the creep stability period; AFM micro-scanning found that the "bee-like structure" appeared on the front topography of SBS modified asphalt and Evo warm asphalt. The bee-like structure of Evo warm mix asphalt is larger and more numerous. The larger the size of the bee structure, the smaller the number of bee structures; however, the surface of the USP warm mix asphalt is more undulating; the aging of the two types of asphalt is more serious, and the size of the honeycomb structure is larger, but the number of honeycomb structure is reduced; while the surface of USP warm asphalt is undulating.

From 2009 to 2012, 14 failure high strength bolts were found in Chaotianmen Bridge,and 11 bolts were collected on site, of which 8 bolts were pitted and rusted. The chemical composition, metallographic structure, hardness and other mechanical properties of these 11 bolts were analyzed and tested to explore the reasons for fracture failure of high strength bolts. The results show that six failure high strength bolts` HRC values are of 40, 40.5 and 43 (4 bolts), which does not meet the technical requirement of GB/T1231-2006, and the unqualified rate accounts for 54.5%. Tempered martensite, which belongs to brittle structure, was detected in metallographic structure in samples with unqualified hardness. The failure of high strength bolts is not only related to the unqualified metallographic structure, but also related to the construction processs, operating environment and other aspects. Especially the influence of environmental corrosion on the quality, micro-structure and mechanical properties of high strength bolts should be paid more attention by bridge managers. It is necessary to further explore and clarify the influence of environmental factors on the corrosion fracture of high strength bolts and its mechanism, so as to provide a basis for the measures taken to prevent the breakage of high strength bolts.

Prestressed reinforcement is one of the most hidden and important project in bridge enginerring. It directly determines the structure of the bending, shear, anti vibration, anti impact performance, it also has influence on the safety and durability of the structure. To evaluate old bridge structure, it is required to detect the internal reinforced distribution (quantity, specifications, protection layer thickness). In addtition, due to poor construction quality, position of prestressed tendons biased, and grouting can not get guarantee, which leads to serious corrosion of prestressing tendons, consequently in potential safety hazard. All above indicate that by using nondestructive method, it is significant to locate the prestressed tendon and define the quantative and distribution in structure. Then, it is required to evaluate the grouting condition of prestressed ducts, and regrouting for the flaw ducts. This paper focuses on several current famous prestressed grouting nondestructive detection methods, combining the characteristics of the actual bridge structure, and the accuracy of each method is obtained.

Due to the complex body environment, the prosthesis has a higher requirement for surface abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance. In this paper, the friction and wear properties of CoCrMo alloy artificial prosthesis were studied by a ring block friction-wear testing machine. The results indicate that the friction coefficient of CoCrMo alloy decreases with the increase of the load and rotation speed. The wear mass of the CoCrMo alloy has a good wear resistance and is suitable for manufacturing prosthesis. However, the surface of the CoCrMo alloy partially cracks under heavy load through SEM analysis, which indicates the prosthesis is not suitable for patients who often engage in heavy carrier forces.
