A lightweight lattice structure is proposed, which can be applied to the thermal protection system of high speed aircraft. The structure uses carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide ceramic matrix composite as the framework, and the inner cavity can be filled with heat insulation materials with small thermal conductivity. In order to study the heat insulation performance of the structure, the three-dimensional finite element heat transfer model of the lattice structure with and without heat insulation material was established. Abaqus software was used to calculate the temperature distribution and change of the lattice structure under different temperature boundary conditions. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the lattice structures under different temperature boundary conditions is defined and calculated. The results show that the heat insulation effect of the lattice structure is improved obviously with the addition of heat insulation materials, but the time required to reach the stable state is increased. Without heat insulation materials, the strength of cavity radiation is greatly affected by the temperature boundary conditions on the top surface and positively correlated. Increasing heat insulation materials can effectively block the generation of cavity radiation, thus enhancing the heat insulation effect. The conclusion provides a foundation for further application of the lattice structure in thermal protection system of high speed aircraft.

A new composition steel was designed by adding 1wt.% Cu and 2wt.% Ni elements on the basis of low-carbon Ti-bearing microalloyed steel. The continuous cooling transition curve (CCT) is obtained by the phase transition curves, microstructure and hardness in the Gleeble3800 thermal simulation test machine. In order to further study the law of transformation and meet the needs of industrialized production, different cooling tests were carried out through industrialized trial production, and the corresponding organization and mechanical properties were analyzed. The results show that when the cooling rate increases, the microstructure transformation appears as granular bainite (GB) → granular bainite + lath bainite (GB+LB) → lath bainite (LB) → lath martensite (M). The mechanical properties increase with the increase of cooling rate, and the yield strength increases in a positive correlation trend. The results show that the steel can obtain good and stable comprehensive mechanical properties in a large cooling rate range without heat treatment. The best mechanical properties with a good combination of yield strength and impact performance are obtained under ultra-fast cooling conditions.

To study the dynamic response of metal fiber laminates subjected to the same energy and different velocities, a finite element model of aluminum alloy-carbon/glass fiber laminates was constructed to analyze the impact dynamic response and discuss the characteristics of interlayer damage. The results show that under the same impact kinetic energy conditions, the higher the initial velocity of the bullet is, the faster the velocity decays during the impact, and the more kinetic energy is consumed overall. On the whole, the shape of the failure area of the metal layer is similar to the shape of the bullet plane, and the failure area of the fiber layer will extend along the direction of the fiber layer. Whether it is a carbon fiber layer or a glass fiber layer, the tensile failure area is larger than the compression failure area. The fiber tensile/compression failure area is the largest, followed by the tensile/compression delamination failure area, and the matrix tensile/compression failure area is the smallest. As the bullet velocity increases, the failure area of the glass fiber layer in different forms becomes smaller, while the failure area of the carbon fiber layer in different forms does not change significantly.

Tailoring coating microstructure and the fraction of quasicrystalline phase for enhancing the wear and crack resistance by selecting the appropriate thermal spraying parameters was investigated. To simplify the optimization process, orthogonal test was introduced. According to the statistical analysis and validation experiments, the orders of spraying-parameters that affected the hardness and fraction of quasicrystalline phase were proposed, respectively. The wear resistance and fracture behaviors of coating sprayed with optimal processing parameters were analyzed by pin-on-disk and three-point bending (3PB) tests. The current results indicated that the coating sprayed with optimal parameters exhibit a better wear and crack resistance. The high fraction of quasicrystal phase and dense microstructure contribute to the good wear resistance, meanwhile, the favorable fracture toughness is attributed to the tough phase existing in quasicrystal matrix and a fine-lamellar microstructure which facilitates the stress release during the crack propagation. This study gives insight into the crack propagation behavior in Al-based quasicrystal coating from nano-scale to micro-scale and might provide a viable guideline for the improvement of wear and crack resistance for thermal spraying quasicrystal composite coatings.

The rheological parameters were obtained by linear fitting with Bingham model. The results showed that for cement slurry system, with the replacement amount of waste glass increasing from 0 wt% to 20 wt%, the plastic viscosity of slurry increased gradually, while the yield stress decreased. Fixing the replacement amount of fixed waste glass at 5 wt%, the plastic viscosity and yield stress of cement slurry decrease with the increasing dosage of polycarboxylate superplasticizer. The cement slurry conforms to the characteristics of pseudoplastic fluid. For initial concrete slurry system, with the increase of waste glass replacement amount from 0 wt% to 20 wt%, the plastic viscosity of slurry increased, while the yield stress gradually decreased. And then the rheological properties of concrete slurry were closed to Newtonian fluid. After 1 hour, the plastic viscosity of concrete increased first, then decreased, and finally increased again.

The color of cigarette paper directly affect the ash color and ash condensation quality of cigarettes. The ash color and ash condensation quality of cigarettes with black cigarette paper are studied by using the self-developed cigarette paper gray and ash condensation quality measuring equipment and taking black as the background color in this paper. The effect of black cigarette paper on the ash gray is discussed in the combustion process of black cigarette paper for the first time. The results show that the average grey value of black cigarette paper is 116.59, and the uneven grey value is mainly due to the non-uniformity of cigarette paper among different batches and the cut tobacco structure of medium cigarettes, on which the shooting from 3 different angles has a great impact. It is appropriate to calculate the grey and ash quality by taking the average value of 3-side shooting. Black background board is ideal for testing cigarette paper gray. The gray value difference of randomly selected cigarettes is too large, so it is necessary to measure in batches, and the measurement accuracy of gray value can be guaranteed only if the sample quantity is sufficient. The maximum deviation of gray value photographed by different cameras of the same cigarette is 18.17, which is 15.6% of the average value, and the average value of ash coagulation index is 90.20. The cigarette paper ash detection equipment used in this paper is accurate, which can reflect the cigarette ash performance comprehensively and objectively, and such an equipment has rich detective means, and has high automation and reliability in the analysis of detection results. It is necessary to take photos from different angles in the measurement process to ensure the accuracy of gray measurement value of a cigarette to the largest extent, as the samples showed significant differences.

Waterflooding is regarded as one of the most common methods for oil recovery yet a great portion of residual oil still remained in the reservoir after waterflooding. Therefore, investigation on the residual oil saturation and its characteristics is of great importance. Specifically, microscale residual oil pattern and saturation are crucial to the analysis of oil recovery efficiency and decision for future EOR methods. In this work, transparent microfluidic devices were adopted to simulate waterflooding process and observe the change in the oil saturation as well as the residual oil pattern. Meanwhile the impact of displacement fluid viscosity and displacement rate on the residual oil saturation and pattern was inspected. Results revealed that as the displacement fluid viscosity increased from 0.895 to 1.763mPa⋅s, residual oil saturation decreased from 31.2 to 20%. Three patterns of residual oil were observed which were bulk, columnar and dead-end respectively. Bulk pattern took up the largest portion of the total residual oil, and as the displacement fluid viscosity increasing, decrease in the bulk oil saturation was the greatest. Dead-end residual oil contributed the least to the oil recovery and it could be the potential target for the future EOR method.

Moreover, according to the mechanical property test results, the mechanical property of as-extruded TiBw/Ti composites enhanced at the same time (tensile strength of 789 MPa and plastic strain of 1.5% for as-sintered TiBw/Ti composites; tensile strength of 940 MPa and plastic strain of 18.1% for as-extruded TiBw/Ti composites). The obtained results provide a promising fabrication route for developing high-performance TiBw/Ti composites suitable for industrial applications.

In this paper, the durability of fire resistive performance of two types of water-borne intumescent coatings was studied using UV/water-spray and hydrothermal accelerated aging. Exposure conditions Type X intended for all environmental conditions with reference to ETAG-018-2 was used as the aging method. The aging effects and mechanism were preliminary analysed using fire test, adhesive test and X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer (XRF). The results show that after 2 stages of aging (for the intended use of 10 years), type-B coating shows better durability while type-A coating losses its basic performance of fire resistive and adhesion. Visually assessment and XRF results show that the aging is mainly caused by surface cracking and the precipitation of fire resistive components.

The microstructure and impact properties of TC10 titanium alloy bar after isothermal annealing are studied by metallographic microscope, SEM and impact properties test. The results show that there were two forms of a phases in the original microstructure of TC10 titanium alloy forging bar, one was primary equiathetic a phases, the other was secondary a phases. After the alloy was annealed with isothermal temperature, the content of the equiaxed a phases in the metallographic structure decreased with the increased of temperature, and disappeared after reaching the transformation point. While the number of platelet a in the structure increased with the increased of temperature, and the size increased. The impact toughness of the alloy shows a trend that first increases and then decreases with the increase of heating temperature. When the temperature exceeded the transformation point, the impact toughness decreases significantly. With the increase of heating temperature, the fracture morphology of the alloy mainly changes from a large number of relatively deep dimples to a few relatively shallow dimples, and dissociation steps appear. After the whole investigation, it can be concluded that the best heat treatment system in this experiment was 920°C×1.5h/FC→800°C×1.5h/AC+560°C×4h/AC, and the maximum impact toughness was 49.5 J/cm2.

The relationship between mixing time, ladle kinetic energy and bottom blowing radial position, bottom blowing flow rate, slag layer thickness and a series of operating variables are studied. The mixing time has been measured in a 1:6 scale model, and the method of adding tracers has been improved to obtain more accurate results. In addition, the kinetic energy in the bath is calculated through the VOF+DPM coupling model. The experimental results show that the mixing time in the bath decreases with the increase of the bottom blowing rate or the decrease of the thickness of the oil layer. Compared with the bottom blowing radial position of 0.55R and 0.65R, 0.45R is more conducive to mixing in the bath. As the radial position of the bottom blowing approached the wall, the gas-liquid phase zone began to tilt toward the ladle wall. The kinetic energy in the bath is not necessarily related to the mixing time, but when the bottom blowing flow rate and position are the same, the kinetic energy decreases with the increase of the oil layer thickness. When the thickness of the oil layer is 1 cm, 2 cm and 3 cm, the kinetic energy compared with the thickness of the oil-free layer decreases by 24.07%, 30.56% and 36.30%, respectively.

Grinding is a process where the particle size of the material is reduced under the combined effects of the impact action and the abrasion action of steel balls (grinding medium). Even though there are studies related to the grinding process, only a few studies systematically reported the low-speed grinding process. In this paper, the two common minerals: pyrite and quartz are subjected to low-speed grinding using the ball mill technique where the mill rotation is optimized to facilitate the grinding medium to be in the state of cascading. In addition, the relative grindability and grinding kinetic analysis are used to elucidate the particle size distribution characteristics, and rules for achieving the ground product's particle size at low-speed grinding. Further, discussions are made on the grinding characteristics of the mill when the grinding medium is in the cascading motion. The results show that i) finer feed size induces a significant change in the particle size of the ground products; ii) the grinding fineness of pyrite is higher given the same grinding time, whereas the grinding fineness of quartz increases sharply when the grinding time is prolonged; and iii) the grinding processes of the two minerals follow first-order linear kinetic model at low-speed grinding. These findings provide a theoretical foundation to carry out further research on the motion law and grinding characteristics at low- speed grinding.

A novel method consists of nitriding and spark plasma sintering was used to fabricate high nitrogen austenitic stainless steel (HNASS). The influences of nitrogen contents in austenitic stainless steel on microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance were investigated. Results show that the ferrite-austenite phase transformed into single austenite phase after nitriding uptake. The nitrogen contents determined the type of precipitates chromium nitrides, and the contents higher than 2.77 wt. % promoted the formation of CrN, which corresponds well with thermodynamic results. The fine grain size (round 3μm) and precipitated chromium nitrides (200~600 nm) lead to a high yield strength of 817-1111MPa, which exceeds conventional stainless steel. The corrosion rate decreased with increasing content up to 1.29 wt. %, then the corrosion rate increased with increasing nitrogen contents, which results from the combined effect of solute nitrogen and nitrides.

In order to improve the crack resistance of semi-rigid base materials, polyester fiber (PET), polypropylene fiber (PP), polyacrylonitrile fiber (PAN) and polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA) were selected to prepare cement-stabilized crushed stone mixture. The mechanical properties of fiber-cement stabilized crushed stone mixture were studied by unconfined compressive strength, splitting strength and compressive rebound modulus tests. The results show that the fiber can effectively improve the compressive strength and splitting strength of cement-stabilized crushed stone mixture when the fiber content is 0.05%-0.11%, and both the compressive strength and splitting strength of the mixture increase with the increase of fiber content. The compressive strength and splitting strength of the mixture with the same fiber and dosage showed a trend of slow growth first, then rapid growth, and then gentle growth during the curing period of 90d. Adding PET, PP and PAN reduced the compressive resilience modulus of cement-stabilized macadam mixture, while adding PVA increased the compressive resilience modulus of cement-stabilized macadam mixture.

It is necessary to strengthen energy management in chemical and petrochemical industries because of the shortage of energy supply. Aspen Plus was used to simulate and optimize vinyl acetate production process via ethylene gas-phase method. The appropriate thermodynamic equations and unit modules were selected. The simulation and optimization results of vinyl acetate production were in accordance with the industrial production data. Based on steady-state simulation and optimization results, heat exchanger network synthesis and heat pump assisted distillation technology were proposed for energy conservation. For heat exchanger network synthesis technology, energy conservation can be achieved through the energy matching of cold and hot streams based on pinch theory. As a result, cold utilities, hot utilities, heat transfer area and the number of heat exchanger decreased by 25.52%, 59.52%, 70.60% and 30.77%, respectively. For heat pump assisted distillation technology, compared with the conventional distillation technology in the purification of acetic acid from aqueous acetic acid solution, 48.05% of cold energy consumption and 82.40% of heat energy consumption could be saved. Based on the simulation and optimization results, it can be found that heat exchanger network synthesis and optimization as well as heat pump assisted distillation technology can provide good ideas for the rational use of energy.

In this work, hollow Ni-Co-S nanocubes were designed and successfully prepared as a superior sulfur host for lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) by means of facile synthesis methods. The prepared hollow Ni-Co-S nanocubes possess multiple merits, including good electrical conductivity, sulfur encapsulated nanostructure and LiPS adsorbability. By employing Ni-Co-S nanocubes as the sulfur host, the electron transfer efficiency is incresed and the volume expansion during repeated cycling can be buffered. Besides, the shuttling effect is limited effectively due to the strong lithium polysulfides (LiPS) adsorbability. As a result, the sulfur utilization is significantly improved for better performance. Benefiting from these advantages, the LSBs exhibited a fairly high initial capacity of 1482 m Ah g-1, a retained capacity of 669 m Ah g-1 over 200 cycles and impressive discharge capacities of 710, 565, 370 and 186 m Ah g-1 even at 1C, 2C, 3C and 4C, respectively.

The Shamai tungsten deposit in Inner Mongolia is located in the Xing'an Mongolia Orogenic Belt, east part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. Orebodies exist in the fault zone of the biotite monzogranite (porphyry), in the pegmatite and greisen forms. This paper presents precise 40Ar/39Ar ages of muscovite related to the mineralization by laser incremental 40Ar/39Ar analysis. Muscovite yielded a well-defined 40Ar/39Ar plateau age of (138.4 ± 0.84) Ma, with normal and inverse isochron ages being (137.32 ± 0.73) Ma and (137.35 ± 0.73) Ma. These ages can represent the formation age of the deposit and suggest that the Shamai deposit is related to the magmatic activities of Yanshanian period, which is in conformity with things of the regional metallogenic events. Combined with the previous studies of the geodynamic settings of South China, the authors consider that Shamai tungsten deposit might be formed in an intracontinental extensional setting following the collision.

The mechanical and corona resistance of polyimide/alumina multilayer composite films were prepared by roller coating process. The mechanical properties and corona resistance of the films were tested, and compared with the single layer of polyimide/alumina composite films. The results show that the multilayer composite film can maintain the mechanical properties of the film and improve the corona resistance of the film when the same mass fraction of alumina is introduced. The results show that the alumina in the single layer is spherical agglomerated, while that in the multilayer composite film is strip. The surface layer of strip dense alumina in multilayer composite films plays a role in preventing corona discharge from penetrating into the internal organism and the discharge is concentrated on alumina. The aluminum oxide with inner strip distribution continues to resist corona discharge, and changes the path of corona discharge, which prevents the corona breakdown from happening in advance, so the corona resistance of composite film has been improved.

CoNiCr and CoNiCu medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) were prepared by powder metallurgy with Co, Ni, Cr, Cu powders milled for 5h and 30h, and the effects of different milling time and different elements on the microstructures and properties of MEAs were studied. Through microstructures characterization (by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrum analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis) and mechanical properties (compressive performance, hardness, wear resistance) testing, the following conclusions are drawn: First, with the increase of the milling time, the density of the sintered samples is increased. Second, the microstructure of CoNiCr MEA is composed of Ni-rich FCC solid solution, Cr-rich BCC solid solution and CoNiCr intermetallic compound, while the microstructure of CoNiCu MEA is mainly composed of FCC solid solution with uniform Co, Ni, and Cu, and Co-rich FCC solid solution. Third, as the agglomeration of powder is weakened and the density of sintered sample is increased, the hardness of CoNiX (X=Cr/Cu)-30h is higher (about 20HV) than that of CoNiX (X=Cr/Cu)-5h, and long-term ball milling effectively improves the wear resistance, moldability and compressive strength of CoNiCr MEA, while the moldability and compressive strength of CoNiCu MEA are reduced, and the wear resistance of CoNiCu MEA is slightly improved. Finally, the hardness and wear resistance of CoNiCr MEA are better than that of CoNiCu MEA, the hardness is increased by about 70HV, and the wear resistance is increased by about 20-40 times, but the compressive performance of CoNiCu MEA is better than that of CoNiCr MEA.

In this paper, the effect of Al and Ti on the high temperature plasticity of Q390 microalloyed steel was studied. The high temperature tensile tests of two Q390 steels with different contents of aluminum and titanium (0.02%Al-0.01%Ti and 0%Al-0.02%Ti) were carried out on Gleeble 3800 thermal simulation test machine. The high temperature plasticity of the two steels was compared and analyzed by calculation of shrinkage ratio, fracture morphology and energy spectrum of the precipitates. The study indicated: The toughness of 0%Al-0.02%Ti steel is 12%-35% higher than that of 0.02%al-0.01%Ti steel in the III brittleness temperature zone. Aluminum has a negative effect on the high temperature plasticity of microalloyed steel, while titanium has a positive effect on the high temperature plasticity of microalloyed steel. Therefore, the surface quality of Q390 microalloyed steel is improved when Q390 is adopted the composition of 0%Al-0.02%Ti steel.

Isothermal transformation is the key stage to carbide precipitation in microalloyed steel. Detailed phase transformation data are needed in order to control and study the precipitation process of carbides accurately. However, alloying elements will change the transformation process in this microalloyed low carbon steel. Therefore, the effects of titanium and molybdenum elements on isothermal transformation behaviour were studied by a Gleeble 3800 thermal-mechanical simulator. Microscopic test and dilatometry were applied to analyse the isothermal transformation of steels. The results show that the ferrite in steel changes from polygonal ferrite to quasi-polygonal ferrite to acicular ferrite with the decrease of temperature from 700°C to 550°C, and the addition of titanium and molybdenum elements retards the isothermal transformation and result in prolonged transformation time. Besides, alloying elements also tend to inhibit the phase transformation in specific temperatures and lead to more untransformed austenite.

In this paper, aimed at the zinc ferrite products from the gossan bearing-zinc ore by direct roasting and their sulfuric acid leaching products, the differences of related products in element composition, mineral composition, specific surface properties and particle morphology were studied. The results show that the XRD diffraction peaks of low content zinc ferrite products are more complex and have more impurity peaks than those of high content zinc ferrite products and less impurity peaks. The XRD patterns of leaching residue have little difference after sulfuric acid leaching purification, but the high content zinc ferrite products have higher crystallinity, the diffraction peak of zinc ferrite from leaching residue is stronger. That is to say, the content of zinc ferrite in the roasted product will not affect the final purification effect by sulfuric acid leaching purification. The phase composition of the purified product is similar, which the main component is zinc ferrite, and contains impurities such as gangue minerals. The adsorption-desorption curves of two purified zinc ferrite products are of type III, but the curves of two products are different. The specific surface area of sample 1 is 9.66 times that of sample 2. The Pore volume and average pore diameter are 8.14 times and 1.97 times, respectively. Therefore, the purified zinc ferrite products with low content of zinc ferrite will have more application potential as adsorbents. There are relatively few soluble impurities in the high content zinc ferrite products, so the micro-morphology of the samples has little change after leaching. However, there are more soluble impurities in the low content of zinc ferrite. After leaching purification by sulfuric acid, the position of the soluble impurities becomes pore, the large particles are decomposed and the particles become finer.

The design based on high-entropy alloys (HEAs) is undergoing a conceptual expansion from equiatomic alloys to non-equiatomic alloys. To provide the experimental basis for non-equiatomic high-entropy alloys and their oxidation resistance at high temperatures, in this study, a Co50Ni2sAl8Ti8Nb3Ta3W3 high-entropy alloy was prepared by a vacuum arc melting method, and then it was subjected to different aging heat treatments. The phase composition, element composition distribution, and mechanical properties of the alloy were characterized by XRD SEM/EDS. In addition, we have systematically studied the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the alloy and analyzed the high-temperature oxidation mechanism of the alloy. The results showed that the phase composition of the Co50Ni25Al8Ti8Nb3Ta3W3 high-entropy alloy is a single fcc solid solution phase, and the grains of the alloy become coarser after secondary aging. Many oxidation products were produced after high-temperature oxidation of the alloy. The oxidation products of the outermost layer of the alloy are mainly CoNiO2, CoTiO3, and M2O3, and the oxidation products of the intermediate layer are mainly Al2O3, TiO2, and Nb2O3.

In this paper, the effects of particle size and content of glass additive on the sintering densification, interfacial bonding and electrical properties of silver electrode of LTCC were investigated. The particle size of glass powder would mainly affect the densification rate of electrode film and the uniformity of glass phase distribution. The content of glass played a key role in the density of electrode film, the distribution of glass phase and the interface bonding. When the relative content of glass was low, the glass phase could not wet the silver powder effectively. Thus, the silver film was not dense and the interfacial adhesion was weak. When the relative content was too high, there would be too much glass phase at the surface and interior of the electrode film, which would increase the silver film resistance. By adjusting the particle size and relative content of glass, the co-firing compatibility of LTCC and thick film silver electrode could be better realized. When the content of glass additive was 1.0 wt%, the sintered film illustrated the optimum performance of densified microstructure and low sheet resistance of 1.32 mΩ/sq.

In this paper, zinc ferrite was prepared from zinc calcine by sulfuric acid leaching, and its properties were studied by the methods of XRD, XRF and SEM/EDS. The results show that sulfuric acid leaching of zinc ferrite from zinc calcine is mainly affected by the initial concentration of sulfuric acid and leaching temperature. If the initial concentration of sulfuric acid and leaching temperature are too low, the soluble oxides in zinc calcine can not be completely dissolved. The prepared zinc ferrite was not suitable for application for too many impurities. However, the higher initial concentration of sulfuric acid and leaching temperature are, the lower recovery of zinc ferrite is. The suitable conditions for preparation of zinc ferrite from zinc calcine by sulfuric acid leaching are liquid-solid ratio 7:1, stirring speed 400rpm, sulfuric acid concentration 160g/L, leaching temperature 85°C, leaching time 120min. The particle size of zinc ferrite is fine, most of them is between 2~5μm. The impurity content of zinc ferrite is less. Zinc ferrite particles are composed of spherical and irregular shape, and they are agglomerate and encase each other.

WC-Ni3Al composite powders with different Ni3Al contents were prepared by ball milling WC and Ni3Al powder mixtures. Functionally graded WC-Ni3Al cemented carbides (FGCCs) with Ni3Al content gradient were prepared by lamination pressing different WC-xNi3Al (x = 2, 10) powder mixtures and spark plasma sintering the layered compacts. The results show that there are some distinct gradient composition layers in the sintered bulk sample. With the increase of Ni3Al content, the size of the WC grains decreases from 0.83 to 0.74 μm because Ni3Al increases the free path of WC grains. And due to difference in Ni3Al content and WC grain size, graded WC-Ni3Al cemented carbides has a Vickers hardness of 1901.8 HV30 at the surface, which decreases to 1780.3 HV30 in the core. Nevertheless, the fracture toughness increases from 10.89 MPa⋅m1/2 at the surface to 13.34 MPa⋅m1/2 in the core. The present results show that FGCCs with high outer layer hardness and high inner layer toughness were successfully prepared.

Three kinds of high speed steels with similar composition were selected, which were produced by powder metallurgy (named PM20), spay forming (named SF20) and electroslag remelting (named ESR20) respectively. Their microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. The results indicated that the carbides in PM20 are fine and evenly distributed carbides, but there is carbide segregation in SF20, the carbides in ESR20 are banded distribution, carbide aggregation is much more serious than SF20. The segregation of carbides is beneficial to the wear property, but it will reduce the impact toughness. Consequently, PM20 has the worst wear properties but the best impact toughness, ESR20 is the opposite. The mechanical properties of SF20 are in between of them.

The phase transformation law and microstructure evolution of austenite in Ti microalloyed steel under different continuous cooling rates (0.1-30°C/s) after a two-stage deformation were studied based on the Gleeble-3800 Thermo-Mechanical Simulator. The continuous cooling transformation (CCT) curve was obtained by thermal expansion method combining with microstructures. The results showed that the Ac1 and Ac3 of the steel were 835°C and 902°C, respectively. With the increase of cooling rate, the austenite phase transition temperature decreased, from 778.5-712.2°C at 0.1°C/s to 633.7-488.7°C/s at 30°C/s. Accordingly, the austenite transformation structure changed from polygonal ferrite and pearlite to granular bainite. In addition, with the increase of cooling rate, the ferrite transformation was inhibited, and the transformation region of granular bainite was increased.

To prepare TiAlN coatings with excellent performance and obtain the influence law of doping amount on the performance of TiAlN coatings, Cr-doping and Cr-Ni co-doping were carried out under the optimal process parameters of TiAlN by multi-arc ion plating and magnetron sputtering. The paper changed the doping amount of Cr and Cr-Ni by changing doping time of magnetron sputtering, to study the influence of doping amount on phase structure, surface hardness and adhesion TiAlN coatings. The results show that, all the components in the coatings are evenly distributed and doping amount is directly proportional to the doping time, when doping time was 10min, the phase structure of the coating was consistent with of the undoped TiAlN coating. With the increase of doping time, Al-Ni alloy phase and CrN phase began to appear, and the peak strength also increased with the increase of doping amount. The surface hardness of the coating decrease with the increase of doping amount, and binding force of the coating reaches the maximum at the doping time of 30 min, which is about 40N. When doping time continues to increase, the binding force of coating decrease, which is related to the formation of composite coating.

In this work, dense NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) was fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) under different laser powers (150 W, 210 W and 270 W). The effect of altered laser power on the microstructure and mechanical properties of NiTi SMA was studied by X-ray diffraction, differential scan calorimetry, optical microscopy and compressive test. The results indicated that the grains of SLM NiTi SMA changed from the uniform and fine honeycomb crystals to large square crystals with the increase of laser power. Meanwhile, the phase transformation temperature of SLM NiTi SMA increased with the increase of laser power, which resulted in the volume fraction of B19' phase in the matrix increased at room temperature. More importantly, when the laser power was 150 W, the SLM NiTi SMA had best compressive strength of 3302.7 MPa and fracture strain of 34.5%, which were better than most of the reported compressive properties in SLM NiTi SMA. This is mainly attributed to the fine and uniform honeycomb crystals in SLM NiTi SMA by 150 W.

In this paper, the chemical formula of the main minerals in gossan were calculated, and the effects of the leaching agents such as NH3-H2O, NH3-(NH4)2CO3, NaOH, NH3-NH4Cl and NH3-(NH4)2SO4, mechanical activation leaching and leaching times were researched, respectively. It shown that the formula of siderite is (ZnCO3)0.1580⋅(ZnO)0.2156⋅FeCO3 and the formula of limonite bearing zinc is (ZnCO3)0.0623⋅(ZnO)0.1122⋅(FeO(OH)⋅0.7011H2O). In the conventional leaching, the zinc leaching rate is less than 50%. The best zinc leaching rate is about 53% in the multi-leaching, and the highest zinc leaching rate is about 63% when mechanical activation and leaching at the same time. It is indicated that zinc in smithsonite could be dissolved in leaching solution, zinc on limonite could be partly desorbed under the action of external forces and zinc in siderite could not be recovered due to its solubility in leaching agent. Therefore, it could be concluded that the alkaline leaching is difficult to recover zinc from the gossan ore for the reasons above mentioned. The leaching results agree with the calculation of the formula of the main minerals.

Because of its complex composition, low content of valuable metals and high development cost, the gossan ore has not been paid much attention by scholars at home and abroad. In this paper, the properties of gossan ore from zinc sulfide deposit were studied by the methods of mineralogical analysis, BET analysis and SEM/EDS analysis. The results show that the studied ore is typical zinc-bearing gossan type ore. The main elements in the gossan ore are zinc and iron, as well as a certain amount of silicon. The iron mineral of ore is limonite, most of which are monomers, a few connected with clay, dolomite and so on, and are closely adhered with some siderite, which generally contains zinc. Zinc minerals are mainly smithsonite and hemimorphite, a small amount of sphalerite, zinc mica, most of the siderite and limonite symbiosis. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm of the gossan ore is a typical type III isotherm, and the isotherm is concave and has no inflexion, which shows that the interaction of adsorbents is stronger than that of adsorbents and materials. The specific surface area of gossan ore is small, mainly composed of micro-pores, the smaller specific surface area and pore volume limit its adsorption capacity, which intimates that the untreated gossan ore is not a good adsorbent. The gossan ore particles are composed of many irregular crystal particles with uniform size and many large pore channels appear in the gossan ore particles. The particles are smaller and more dispersed, and that the interconnections between larger particles are mainly caused by the direct interaction of some smaller particles. This research will lay a theoretical basis for the follow-up development and utilization of the gossan ore.

In this study, Gleeble 3800 thermal simulator was used to simulate the continuous annealing process of industrial production of dual phase steel with the tensile strength over 980 MPa. In the experiment, four different annealing temperatures of 700 °C, 720 °C, 740 °C and 760 °C were set in the intercritical region while keeping other process parameters unchanged. The experimental results showed that the martensite content increases with the rise of intercritical annealing temperature. However, this growth is not persistent, the obvious change of martensite content can be seen only when the temperature exceeds 20 °C in current study. In addition, with the increase of temperature, the elongated ferrite grains tend to become more equiaxed.

Deep neural networks have powerful nonlinear performance, but until now there is no ideal method for hyperparameters tuning. In this paper, prediction correct rate of IF steel mechanical performance is used as evaluation criterion to establish a neural network regression model. The study shows that increasing the number of hidden layers and neurons could both improve the prediction accuracy. Under the same parameter magnitude, the effect of adding hidden layer numbers is better than neuron numbers. However, after the network depth reaches a certain threshold, the accuracy does not increase, or even drop. After a lot of attempts, we have obtained a model topology of 3 hidden layers and 100 neurons with 1 output feather. On the new test set of 1,000 samples, the yield strength(Rp0.2,) tensile strength(Rm) and elongation(A80) prediction accuracy are 74.4%, 89.8% and 83.2%. Data expansion, test method stabilization and adding knowledge-driven sub-model could be used to optimize the model.

Al2O3 ceramic and 1A95 aluminum alloy vacuum brazed joints were prepared with Al-Si-Mg-La solder. The effects of brazing time on the structure and shear properties of brazed joints were studied, and the interface of the joints was analyzed. Studies have shown that the shear strength of Al2O3/Ag-Si-Mg-La/Al joints all show a trend of increasing first and then decreasing with the increase of brazing temperature and holding time; when the best brazing process is 590°C×30 min, the boundary between AlSiMgLa solder and aluminum alloy disappears; the interface between Al2O3 ceramic and solder is well bonded, and the shear strength reaches 65.12 MPa. The fracture form of the joint is brittle fracture. Under different brazing process parameters, the fracture position of the joint is mainly divided into two types: when the joint strength is low, the fracture occurs near the interface between the aluminum alloy and the brazing filler metal layer; when the joint strength is higher, the fracture occurs at the interface between the Al2O3 ceramic and the solder.

The inner structure of cementitious materials is crucial for the intelligent design and construction in civil engineering. In this work, two kinds of samples made from Portland cement and metakaolin-based geopolymer respectively were prepared to be exposed in high-temperature environment. In the experiments, the samples were placed on a heater with a 400°C surface for 40 minutes. A high-energy X-ray computed tomography (CT) facility was used to detect the macroscopic inner structure of the samples. In addition, the infrared-ray morphology of samples was also tested and compared. Results show that metakaolin-based geopolymer was relatively more resistant to heat compared with Portland cement. However, the cracks development of metakaolin-based geopolymer was severer due to the shrinkage in the high-temperature environment. In addition, based on the X-ray CT images, a method to show the distribution of pores' sizes was proposed. It was found the distribution of pores' volumes and area surfaces can be fitted by power laws which are straight lines in the logarithmic coordinates, and the geopolymer samples have relatively higher goodness of fit. Moreover, a lower intercept of the fitting line indicates the frequency of larger pores in the sample is lower, and a lower slope indicates a tighter distribution range of the pores' sizes. These findings may provide insight for future intelligent design of digital cementitious materials used in hash environment.

6016 aluminum alloys with different niobium contents were prepared by smelting and casting. The alloys were rolled and heat treated, and the effect of niobium on microstructures and properties of the alloys were studied. The results show that the as-cast alloy consists of Mn-rich phases, Cu-rich phases, Mg-rich phases, Si-rich phases and small blocks of Zn-rich phases, and Nb element is solidly dissolved in these phases and matrix. After solution and pre-aging treatment, recrystallization occurs in the rolled alloy. The grain size of the rolled alloy is obviously smaller than that of the as-cast alloy, and the second phase precipitates dispersively. After solution treatment or solution treatment + pre-aging treatment, the tensile strength and plasticity of the alloy are significantly improved. With the increase of niobium content, the number and size of the second phase increase.

Lithium metasilicate/disilicate glass-ceramics (LMGC/LDGC) are attractive composite materials for all-ceramic dental restorations due to their promising strength and biocompatibility. However, their strong mechanical properties make it hard to machine with current dental chairside CAD/CAM-milling. The root cause is the unclarity of their mechanical behaviour under dynamic abrasive machining. This paper conducted single-diamond scratching experiments on LMGC and LDGC to extract the actual diamond grain-material contact in grinding to understand their ductile-brittle transition behaviour. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) observation was performed to identify the fully-ductile, ductile-brittle and fully-brittle regimes of the two studied materials. 3D laser confocal microscopy (LCM) was used to measure the critical cutting depths for these regimes. The critical cutting depths for fully-ductile and fully-brittle regimes are 89 nm and 133 nm for LMGC, and 209 nm and 428 nm for LDGC, respectively. These results provide an in-depth understanding of ductile-brittle transition behaviour of LMGC/LDGC under abrasive machining and a guidance for dental technicians to choose proper machining conditions for high-quality LDGC restorations.

Under the heating condition, the grain of ultrafine grain steel will change with the increase of temperature, so that the microstructure and hardness of ultrafine grain steel will change, and even lose the original strength and toughness. In this paper, the grain growth behavior, microstructure and hardness of ultrafine grain steel under different heat treatment conditions were studied experimentally. The results showed that under different cooling methods, the faster the cooling speed was, the more the amount of low-carbon martensite and pearlite was. The hardness obtained by water cooling was the largest. The hardness decreased with the changes of water cooling, oil cooling, air cooling and furnace cooling. The higher the maximum heating temperature was, the coarser the grain became. For ultrafine grain steel, the maximum heating temperature of 1000 °C should not be used.

The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of 65Si2CrVspring steel at 420 °C with different tempering time were studied in this paper. The results show that the extension of tempering holding time will make the martensite recover more fully, so as to transform into massive ferrite, and the precipitated carbide increases at the same time. With the extension of tempering holding time, the strength of the sample decreases gradually. When the tempering time exceeds 300s, the ratio of length and width of carbide decreases gradually, spheroidization occurs and plasticity decreases sharply. Excellent comprehensive properties were obtained when holding for 300s. The tensile strength was 2083MPa, the elongation was 8.3%, and the product of strength and plasticity was 17.28 GPa %.

Despite the great promise of lead-based perovskite solar cells, their inherent toxicity and stability issues have hindered their practical applications in solar cells. Titanium(Ti)-based vacancy-ordered double perovskite Cs2TiBr6 was proposed as a non-toxic and stable substitute for lead-based perovskites. However, the efficiencies of the Cs2TiBr6 double perovskite solar cells currently have a maximum value of only 3.28%, which is still far below typical perovskite solar cells. Since the bulk defects inside the Cs2TiBr6 absorber layer are the main reason for degrading the performance of the Cs2TiBr6 double perovskite solar cell, it is worthwhile to investigate the bulk defect density in the absorber layer to optimize the performance of the Cs2TiBr6 double perovskite solar cell. In this work, we simulate the Cs2TiBr6 double perovskite solar cell with the FTO/SnO2/Cs2TiBr6/PEDOT:PSS/Au structure by using SCAPS-1D simulation software. We investigate the effect of the bulk defect density in the Cs2TiBr6 absorber layer for the performance of the Cs2TiBr6 double perovskite solar cell. The conclusion is that there is a threshold value for the bulk defect density in the Cs2TiBr6 double perovskite solar cell. Moreover, we obtain an optimal efficiency of 9.97% in the Cs2TiBr6 double perovskite solar cell by optimizing the bulk defect density. Our numerical simulation results show that the Cs2TiBr6 double perovskite solar cell has excellent potential and appropriate defect passivation is conducive for improving its performance.

In the present study, the 6061 alloy was chosen as base alloy, and micro-alloying effect of different ratios of Er and Zr (2:1, 1:1) on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties was examined after T6 heat treatment. Hot rolling deformation was carried out at 450°C, then a solution aging heat treatment process was adopted at 570°C/0.5h+180°C/5h. The precipitation, recrystallization behaviors were characterized using transmission electron microscopy(TEM), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD) techniques, the mechanical properties were tested using tensile tests. The results shown that recrystallization behavior was inhibited by co-additions of Er and Zr. With the increase of Er and Zr content, the recrystallized grain size and coarse Fe-rich phases at the grain boundaries decreased, the recrystallized grain distributed uniformly, the number of needle-like Mg2Si and granular Al3(Er, Zr) phases gradually increased. In 6061 alloy with Er/Zr ratio of 1, the distribution of precipitates were finer and more uniform, The uniformly distributed Al3(Er, Zr) phases pinned the grain boundaries, which effectively hindered the movement of grain boundaries. The tensile tests exhibited that the properties of 6061 alloy with Er/Zr ratio of 1 reached the highest level, i.e., tensile strength of 344.0MPa, the yield strength of 296.0MPa, and elongation of 17%.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of soil heterogeneity on the mechanical responses of rectangular plates resting on elastic foundations and to determine reasonable physical model parameters. The bending problem of rectangular thin plates lying on Gibson elastic foundations is solved using an iterative procedure. First, plates and foundations are discussed as a whole system, based on the principle of minimum potential energy. Second, the governing equations and boundary conditions for plates are established. And the equation for the attenuation parameter in the mathematical model is also derived. Then an iterative procedure is used to iterate the two parameters simultaneously, which solves a key issue for the two-parameter foundation model. Third, a double Fourier series with supplementary functions is adopted, and the solution to the bending problem is obtained. The agreements between the numerical results and the literature results prove that the refined model is practical and achievable. The proposed method exhibits a certain universality in analyzing the interactions between rectangular thin plates and elastic foundations. Furthermore, Gibson soil has an influence on the structural responses of rectangular plates on elastic foundations.

The wheel load of the vehicle acting on the bridge expansion joint is a kind of dynamic load, and its impact coefficient needs to be determined, so as to provide basic design parameters for the bridge expansion joint. In this paper, the scale model of the bridge and the vehicle is designed and constructed, and the experimental study of vehicle model passing through bridge model is carried out. In the experiment, the wheel impact load of the vehicle on the bridge expansion joint is measured, and the impact coefficient of the wheel load is calculated. The measured results show that the greater the vehicle speed, the greater the impact load of the wheel on the expansion joint, that is, the greater the impact coefficient. The larger the width of the gap in the expansion joint, the greater the impact load and impact coefficient of the wheel on the expansion joint. The greater the mass of the vehicle, the longer the contact length between the wheel and the road surface, which reduces the impact effect and the impact coefficient of the wheel load on the expansion joint. The maximum impact coefficient of wheel load is greater than the design value in the Chinese bridge code, i.e. 0.45, even greater than that in the American bridge code, i.e. 0.75.

Standard or steam curing is generally used in the production of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), which puts forward higher hardware conditions for the production of this material. In order to promote the popularization and application of UHPC, it is necessary to explore its fabrication method under natural curing, that is, without accurate control of temperature and humidity. The research method used in this paper is experimental analysis. By adjusting the components of UHPC materials, adjusting the proportion of each component, humidifying with watering and other simple measures, the methods to improve the strength of UHPC under natural curing conditions are explored. The experimental results show that the addition of high-efficiency solid water reducer can make the UHPC blocks have higher compressive strength than liquid water reducer. When the ratio of silica fume to cement is 30%, the compressive strength of UHPC reaches the maximum. Reducing or increasing the silica fume will reduce the strength of UHPC. Humidification by simple watering can be used to improve the compressive strength of UHPC. UHPC with strength over 100MPa can still be obtained under natural curing condition.

When an air source heat pump is used in a low temperature and high humidity area, frost on the surface of an outdoor heat exchanger will lead to the decrease of the heating performance of a whole unit. So periodically defrosting is very necessary. However, when the commonly used reverse cycle defrosting method is applied, the unit stop heating indoor and the temperature will drop. In this paper, the method of spraying solution with low freezing point is used to defrost in order to ensure the normal operation of the unit and provide continuous heat supply. The results show that the continuous heat supply can be provided during the defrosting process and the working unit doesn't need to be stopped. Moreover, exhaust pressure of the prototype compressor is more than 3.0 MPa, while air outlet temperature of the indoor unit is more than 40°C. And the heat capacity of the unit is over 2000W, which enhances indoor thermal comfort. In addition, the influence of different outdoor ambient temperature on the performance of the air source heat pump is studied when the spray defrosting is in progress. It is found that the lower the outdoor ambient temperature is, the lower the heat capacity and COP of the unit will be.

The Supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) Brayton cycle can be used to recover the exhaust heat energy of marine diesel engines. The hybrid heat exchanger is one of the potential solutions for heat exchange between flue gas and S-CO2, but there is no good design theory and design method at present. The traditional hybrid heat exchanger has an one-to-one correspondence between the fin and the etched plate. However, under special requirements, it is necessary to insert etched plates in the hybrid heat exchanger to improve the thermalhydraulic characteristics. In this study, four CFD models of the hybrid heat exchangers with interpolated etched plates were established. When the total mass flow rate and the total mass velocity are constant, the thermalhydraulic characteristics of the hybrid heat exchanger are analyzed by Fluent. The results show that regardless of the constant mass flow rate or the constant mass velocity, inserting etched channels into the hybrid heat exchanger will increase the total heat transfer coefficient. When the total mass flow rate of the cold and hot fluids is unchanged, the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of the etched channel decrease with the increase of the inserted etched channel. When the total mass velocity of the hybrid heat exchanger is unchanged, the insertion of the etched channel causes the pressure drop and the convective heat transfer coefficient of the fin channel to increase. Meanwhile, the pressure drop and convective heat transfer coefficient of the etched channels are reduced, but the total heat transfer coefficient is increased. The study can provide guidance for the design of the hybrid heat exchangers.

At present, numerous studies on surface topography prediction models for plane workpieces have been performed at home and abroad. Given the complexity of curved surface models (especially free-form surfaces that cannot be expressed in analytic formulas), prediction models for the surface topography of free-form surfaces are rarely studied. This paper aims to establish and simulate a 3D surface topography model of ball-end milling for all types of curved surfaces, including simple surfaces and free-form surfaces. The dynamic factors influencing the surface topography, such as the spindle runout initial phase angle, runout amplitude, axial drift initial phase angle, and axial drift amplitude are considered in this model. Moreover, some processing parameters influencing the surface topography, such as cutter tooth number, machining inclination, radial cutting depth, feeding frequency and feed per tooth are also considered in this model. The simulation results can be used to optimize the milling process of the actual free-form surface to improve workpiece surface quality or to predict the surface topography of the given machining parameters.

During the grinding process of the impact and abrasion actions synchronously coexist and continuously occur, the two actions may exert forces in different areas and transform to each other periodically. So it is difficult to characterize the respective crushing characteristics of the impact and abrasion actions. Based on the kinematics theory of grinding media, to ensure the grinding medium to be in cascading motion state in which minerals are crushed by only abrasion action of medium, to investigate the crushing characteristics of three kinds of minerals of quartz, pyrrhotite, and pyrite. Moreover, the difference in the ability to resist the crushing in the grinding process and the influence of feed sizes on the crushing were investigated by analyzing and comparing the breakage rate of the different minerals and the yield of specific product size - t10 value under different test conditions. The research results indicated that the grinding resistance of quartz is the strongest, followed by pyrite and pyrrhotite. Besides, a smaller feed size resulted in a more grinding and crushing effect on the minerals. Therefore, during production, the grinding system should be adjusted according to the change in the material property to prevent over-grinding.

This paper proposes an identification method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and Hilbert transform. The main procedures are: First, the system responses of an n degrees of freedom (DOFs) system are decomposed into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and residues by EEMD. The obtained ensemble mean IMFs and residues are then analysed by the Hilbert Transform to form the corresponding analytical signals. Second, the analytical signals of the n IMFs and the residue of each system response of each DOF are added to form a new analytical response. Third, the system equation of motion is rewritten into complex matrix equations for parameter identification. Numerical simulations are carried out on multi-DOFs systems with varying system parameters to demonstrate good robustness, effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, which attempts to offer a new means to study identification for linear time variant systems.

The macroscopic transport behavior inside the tundish simultaneously adopting electromagnetic weir and dam were investigated via a 3D computational fluid dynamics modeling. Results showed that the flow pattern of molten steel can be effectively controlled by local electromagnetic brake force to replace the conventional weir and dam made of refractory in the given tundish. The increases of magnetic intensities for both the electromagnetic weir and dam within the range of 0.05~0.35 T are conductive to the reduction of dead volume fraction and the increases of plug volume fraction and residence time of molten steel in the tundish. The recommended values of magnetic intensities in both the electromagnetic weir and dam zones are 0.3 T owing to that the changes for all RTD characteristics tend to moderate when further increasing the magnetic intensity. This work will provide a pertinent advice on designing electromagnetic weir and dam for the tundish to gain a desire flow pattern without physical flow control devices.

Due to the long-term action of load, the material properties and structural shape of bridge structure will gradually change during service, resulting in the change of bearing capacity. In this paper, a calculation method of maximum bearing capacity is proposed for old steel arch bridges. The calculation method considers the material nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity, as well as the residual deformation of the structure of the old bridge caused by the overload vehicle, collision of the vehicle and ship, resulting in the difference between the actual structure and the design drawing. Taking an 85 year old steel arch bridge in Ningbo as an example, the current material properties and the current configuration of the structure are actually tested, and the bearing capacity is calculated. The results show that: (1) The steel used in the bridge is well protected, and the properties of steel still meet the requirements; (2) For steel arch bridges, the deformation of arch ribs, especially the deformation out of plane, may greatly weaken the bearing capacity of the bridge; (3) It is necessary to consider the material nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity for the calculation of the maximum bearing capacity of the old bridge.

A nonlinear finite element model of the circular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) member under lateral impact is established based on the existing drop weight tests, and the accuracy of numerical simulation is validated by comparing with the test results. Then the segmented numerical model of the circular CFST member is divided evenly to obtain the distribution of energy consumption along its length. The results indicate that the prime areas of energy consumption for the circular CFST member are distributed at the impact position (within 1/6 of the effective length) and the support position (within 1/12 of the effective length). On this basis, the affect of impact position on energy absorption distribution is carried out to reveal the changes of the prime areas of energy consumption. The results of this investigation can provide a reference for the impact resistant design and damage reinforcement of circular CFST members under lateral impact.

This study explores the dynamic characteristics and the nonlinear wind-induced buffeting response of the bridge based on a six-tower cable-stayed bridge, the Jiashao Bridge. The effect of structural system characteristics (number of anchor piers and different conditions of longitudinal constraints) on the dynamic characteristics and the wind-induced buffeting performance of multi-tower cable-stayed bridges has been studied in detail. The analysis indicates that the different amounts of anchor piers have a limited effect on changing the overall stiffness of the bridge, but have an obvious effect on the buffeting displacement response of the side spans to which they belong. As for the condition of longitudinal constraints between the girder and towers, it mainly changes the vertical and transverse bending stiffness of the girder which means with the enhancement of the longitudinal constraints, the bending stiffness of the girder increases, and meanwhile significantly influence the transverse buffeting response of the girder.

The elastic modulus adjustment procedures (EMAPs) can achieve much higher efficiency than incremental nonlinear finite element method (INFEM), however it could not take into account the stability effect on structures. In this paper, the elastic modulus reduction method (EMRM) was presented to estimate the stable bearing capacity of dumbbell-shaped concrete filled steel tube (CFST) arch. Firstly, the homogeneous generalized yield function (HGYF) was developed for dumbbell-shaped CFST members under combined action of axial force and bending moment by means of the fiber model technique, which was employed to determine the stable bearing capacity of these members. Secondly, the HGYF was adopted to define the element bearing ratio so that the EMRM was proposed for evaluating the stable bearing capacity of the dumbbell-shaped CFST arch by strategically reducing the elastic modulus of the highly stressed elements. Finally, results from the INFEM and test data of 3 dumbbell-shaped CFST arches and 30 dumbbell-shaped CFST members were adopted as examples to validate the proposed EMRM and the HGYF, which shows that the stability has a significant influence on the CFST arches and the proposed EMRM achieves higher accuracy and efficiency than the INFEM.

In this paper, a structural damage identification method based on spatio-temporal sequence images is proposed for the shortcomings of traditional structural health monitoring systems such as high cost, discontinuous measurement points and mismatch between sensor lifetime and the lifetime of the structure itself, which uses a camera to collect the vibration information of the structure and adopts the optical flow method for spatio-temporal sequence The method uses a camera to capture the structural vibration information, adopts the optical flow method to track the dynamic displacement of the structure in the images, obtains the full-domain displacement, vibration pattern and frequency of the structure, and uses Python to compile a flexibility difference calculation program to locate the structural damage according to the flexibility difference after the structural damage. The method was experimentally studied on a cantilever beam structure. The results show that the dynamic characteristics of the structure obtained by using the method in this paper match the results of the numerical simulation, and the maximum error of the structural frequency is 2. 9%.

The results show that :(1) As for the main girder, the bending moment at the column of the full-wave scheme is only 36.4% of that of the semi-wave scheme, and the bending moment of the stiffened girder in other areas is the same as that of the semi-wave scheme. In terms of main beam stiffness, there is little difference between full - floating scheme and semi-floating scheme. (2) In the completed bridge state, the longitudinal bending moment of the joint section located at the middle span is far greater than that of the side-span scheme, and the dead load bending moment distribution of the main girder is not ideal. Under the operation condition, the longitudinal bending moment of the main girder of the two schemes is roughly the same under live load. In terms of supporting reaction force, the joint section is located at the middle span, and the supporting reaction force of the auxiliary pier near the bridge tower is far greater than that of the side-span scheme. (3) The thick slab concrete design can not only ensure that the bridge and the construction state of the side span of the fulcrum are not negative reaction and under pressure, but also has no pressure to fix measures, simplify the construction process, convenient later inspection and maintenance.

In recent years, rectangular pipe jacking technology has been gradually applied in urban underground engineering. Based on a parallel rectangular pipe jacking project, a three-dimensional finite element model is established for numerical analysis, and the surface settlement caused by rectangular pipe jacking construction is studied. The research shows that the pipe jacking construction has the most obvious impact on the soil above the pipe jacking axis, and when the clear distance between parallel rectangular pipe is 1D (D indicates the pipe inner width), the main influence range of pipe jacking construction on soil mass is about 1D along the longitudinal direction of pipe jacking. With the increase of parallel rectangular pipe distance, the surface settlement trough becomes wider and the maximum surface settlement decreases. The main influence range of parallel rectangular pipe jacking construction at the outside of the pipe jacking is about 1D~1.37D along the lateral direction. When the pipe distance is greater than 2D, the interaction between parallel pipe jacking is weak, and the influence range at the outside of pipe jacking is almost the same as that of single pipe jacking construction. The research results can provide a reference for the design and construction of similar pipe jacking projects.

In the soft soil stratum, problems such as non-uniform settlement, leakage, and loss of bearing capacity occur during a shield tunnel's construction and operation process. The wrong selection of the inner diameter of the shield tunnel segment will even increase the scale of the problem. It has not been clear how the inner diameter of the segment will influence a tunnel's bearing capacity. Thus, a 3D numerical model is built to determine the mechanism between the inner diameter and the bearing capacity. Two kinds of the diameter of shield tunnel, which refer to 5.5m and 5.9m, are analyzed in this model. The results indicate that the deformation mechanism of these two kinds of shield tunnel in both normal loading process and a loading process concerning the surrounding engineering activities; meanwhile, it is found that the shape of the deformed tunnel is like a horizontal ellipse; finally, the deformation mechanism of segment and bolt is further revealed.

During the heating process of the cargo oil, the rise of the temperature of the cargo oil leads to the increase of oil fluidity, and the oil above the heat source flows upward along the bulkhead, resulting in vortexes of different sizes. In the same heating time, the external temperature difference is 40 K, the oil temperature rise difference is 1.5 K. The variation of temperature field in the heating process of cargo oil is of engineering significance to improve heating efficiency, reduce operating cost and reduce environmental pollution.

In this paper, the extrusion casting molding process of A356 aluminum alloy communication baseplate was numerically simulated by Anycasting. Through the analysis of the filling and solidification process, the curve of heat conductivity changing with time and the curve of the relationship between filling rate and solidification rate were obtained, and the forming reason of the curve was analyzed. The results show that the solidification rate becomes slower with increasing time. The results show that with the increase of time, the solidification rate becomes slower and slower, while the solidification rate gradually increases with the increase of filling rate. Through the analysis of the combined probability defect parameter distribution diagram and the temperature field during the whole casting process, the possible location of shrinkage cavity and porosity was obtained. By comparing the cloud images of temperature distribution at different time, it was found that this was caused by non-sequential solidification, which was confirmed by pressure test.

Smooth surface grinding depends on material micro-removal by diamond grain, but thermal damage is unavoidable. Hence, the thermal distribution between diamond grain and workpiece is adjusted to improve the ground surface quality by changing grain top area. Firstly, the grain top area was determined through thermal transmission balance on workpiece surface. Secondly, the mechanical dressing was utilized to remove the diamond grain top. Finally, the dry grinding of D-star die steel was conducted to analyze the correlation between surface quality and grain top area. The results show that the mechanical dressing increases the grain top area by about 2 times to reduce the workpiece grinding temperature. At the thermal transmission balance on workpiece surface, the thermal deformation is suppressed to decrease the ground surface roughness by 72.4% for smooth grinding.

The floor tiling is a hard work, and a high level of skill is also necessary for the operators. Therefore, the current global floor tiling construction costs continue to increase. The use of robots to replace manual operations is becoming more urgent. Robotic floor tiling can reduce the work intensity of workers while improving the efficiency and the quality. This paper proposes a control system scheme for a floor tiling robot. Based on the characteristics of the multi-motion unit structure of the robot and the design concept of hierarchical control, the control system was divided into the user layer, the system control layer, the intermediate drive layer and the hardware execution layer. The system had clear functions and strong reusability. The user layer played a role of human-computer interaction which received the user's instructions. The system control layer was the brain of the robot, which was mainly responsible for the coordinated control of all the motion units during the floor tiling process. The middle driver layer provided the device controllers for all dedicated hardware devices, realized recognition of system control layer instructions and took the hardware execution layer devices to work. The hardware execution layer mainly executed the actions in the process of the floor tiling. The test results show that the control system can realize stable control for the floor tiling operation, and the system is stable and reliable. The research results on this study would provide a reference for the control system design of other construction robots or special equipment robots.
