Influence of Heat Treatment Process to Advanced Steel Matrix Composites of Engineering Machinery Equipment

Abstract: The steel matrix composites with 5CrNiMo steel as matrix and WC particles as hard phase, were prepared by electroslag casting technology.The microstructures of the particle reinforced steel matrix composites on the original casting state, forging and annealing state, and quenching tempering state were researched by metallographic analysis method. The results show that the most parts of the steel matrix composites, the distribution of WC particles was relatively uniform, small pore, no holes, and the material density was very high. The white WC particles wrapped around a circle of black stripe Fe3W3C and WMoC2 compound carbides. A certain thickness of transition layer organization existed on the interface of the WC particle and steel matrix, so as to improves the bonding strength of the phase interface and the strong toughness of materials.

Spacer length effect on the aggregation behaviours of gemini surfactants in EAN

Abstract: As the symbol of gemini surfactants, the spacer group connects two surfactant monomers and plays an important role in the self-assembling of gemini surfactants. Recent attention has been paid to the effects of spacer nature and length in aqueous systems. In this study, the aggregation behaviours of quaternary ammonium gemini surfactants 12-s-12 with different spacer length (s = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12) have been investigated in the protic ionic liquid EAN. The micellization behaviour was characterized by surface tension measurement. With the help of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), the size and shape of aggregates were verified. The spacer length effect could be reflected by the changes in the micellization and phase behaviours of 12-s-12/EAN systems. The critical packing parameter of gemini molecules would decrease monotonically with the spacer length, which is supported by SAXS results. Due to the charge screening effect of EAN, the aggregation behaviours of 12-s-12 would be mainly influenced by spacer length. Our results would be the important supplement to the spacer length effect of gemini surfactants in the nonaqueous systems. With the increase of spacer chain length, the reverse hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystal phase would transform into the micellar phase.

A Direct Meshless Method for Solving Two-Dimensional Second-Order Hyperbolic Telegraph Equations

Abstract: In this paper, a direct meshless method (DMM), which is based on the radial basis function, is developed to the numerical solution of the two-dimensional second-order hyperbolic telegraph equations. Since these hyperbolic telegraph equations are time dependent, we present two schemes for the basis functions from radial and nonradial aspects. The first scheme is fulfilled by considering time variable as normal space variable to construct an “isotropic” space-time radial basis function. The other scheme considered a realistic relationship between space variable and time variable which is not radial. The time-dependent variable is treated regularly during the whole solution process and the hyperbolic telegraph equations can be solved in a direct way. Numerical experiments performed with the proposed numerical scheme for several two-dimensional second-order hyperbolic telegraph equations are presented with some discussions, which show that the DMM solutions are converging very fast in comparison with the various existing numerical methods.

Integral-type operators from weighted Bloch spaces into Bergman-type spaces

Abstract: Let ϕ be an analytic self-map and u be a fixed analytic function on the open unit disk 𝔻 in the complex plane ℂ. The following integral-type operators have recently attracted a lot of attention. In this article, we characterize the boundedness and compactness of operators I g and J g from weighted Bloch spaces into Bergman-type spaces.

Vibration Failure of Young Low-Temperature Concrete Shaft Linings Caused by Blasting Excavation

Abstract: The freezing-blasting method constitutes the only available technique for excavating mining shafts within water-bearing bedrock. This study explores the effects of vibration damage to young C65 concrete shaft linings caused by close-range blasting excavation using the finite element method. C65 concrete test specimens were made in the laboratory and then cured at −7°C, and the elastic modulus, compressive strength, and longitudinal wave velocity were tested. The allowable dynamic tensile strength of the concrete for each mold of the shaft lining was obtained according to the observed strain rate of the concrete shaft lining using a regression formula. The finite element simulation results are basically consistent with the in situ measurements, thereby attesting to the validity of the numerical simulation. The blasting-induced vertical peak vibration velocity of the first mold of the concrete shaft lining reached 20∼25 cm/s, which far surpasses the allowable vibration velocity range (i.e., 2∼3 cm/s) in the Safety Regulations for Blasting for newly cast concrete between the initial setting and an age of 3 d. The tensile stress of the first concrete mold calculated by the finite element method is approximately equal to the theoretical tensile stress, both of which are smaller than the dynamic tensile strength of concrete. The cumulative energy sustained by the shaft lining of each mold and the allowable values of the dynamic tensile strength were obtained. The growth rate of the dynamic tensile strength of the subsequent molds was larger than that of the cumulative energy, and thus the safety of the shaft lining gradually improved. The C65 concrete would therefore not experience tensile failure after the shaft lining has sustained multiple rounds of blasting loads. This finding can provide a basis for safety considerations when employing the freezing-blasting method to construct mining shafts in water-bearing bedrock.
