On The Cyclic Bending Behaviour Of A Hard Coating On A Ductile Substrate With Periodic Surface Hardened Regions

A cyclic bending experiment is designed to investigate the interface fracture behaviour of a hard chromium coating on a ductile substrate with periodic surface hardened regions. The unique deflection pattern of the vertical cracks after they run through the coating and impinge at the interface is revealed experimentally. A simple double-layer elastic beam model is adopted to investigate the interfacial shear stresses analytically. A FE model is employed to compute the stresses of the tri-phase structure under a single round of bending, and to investigate the effect of the loading conditions on the deflection pattern of the vertical cracks at the interface.

Experimental investigation of Very-High-Cycle Fatigue behavior for a structural steel

Very-High-Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) test for a medium carbon structural steel (40Cr) has been performed and a stepwise S-N curve was obtained by employing cantilever-type rotary bending fatigue machine with hourglass shape specimen. The S-N curve was well explained as a combination of curves for surface-induced fracture and interior inclusion-induced fracture with fish-eye patterns. The morphology of the fish-eye pattern was illustrated in order to clarify subsurface crack initiation and propagation behavior.

固着磨料加工工艺对磷酸盐钕玻璃亚表面缺陷的影响

散粒磨料研磨与固着磨料研磨是光学研磨加工过程中的两种主要手段,但两者材料去除的机制不同。目前针对高功率固体激光装置中的主要工作物质——磷酸盐激光钕玻璃的亚表面缺陷(SSD)研究相对较少,因此在实验的基础上,通过系统地研究固着磨料对磷酸盐激光钕玻璃的研磨工艺过程,分析了多种因素,如磨料粒径、载荷大小、机床转速,以及结合剂材料与冷却液等对钕玻璃亚表面缺陷形成的影响,并与散粒磨料研磨工艺所产生的亚表面缺陷进行了比较,对关键工艺参数进行定量,为高质量钕玻璃制造工艺的选型以及进一步优化亚表面缺陷提供了重要的参考数据。

磷酸盐钕玻璃表面/亚表面损伤特性实验研究

系统地研究了光学研磨过程中,磨料粒径、载荷大小以及机床转速对钕玻璃表面及亚表面损伤的影响。结果表明,机床转速和载荷基本不改变材料表面粗糙度,而较大载荷或较低机床转速产生较大的亚表面缺陷,表面粗糙度和亚表面缺陷缺陷深度基本与最大磨料粒径呈正比,载荷增倍使亚表面缺陷与表面粗糙度的常数比值增加0.05。研究结果为钕玻璃加工工艺改进提供了参考依据。

基底微缺陷对介质薄膜光学性能影响的理论研究

基于非均匀膜理论提出一种存在微缺陷的介质基底的折射率分层模型，将基底依次分为表面层、亚表面层和体材料层，其中表面层和亚面层分别等效为折射率服从统计分布的非均匀膜，将它们分别再次细分为N1和N2个子层，每一子层均视为均匀介质膜．应用光学薄膜特征矩阵法对其进行理论分析，并对单层介质膜的光学性能进行数值计算．研究结果表明：基底的表面和亚表面微缺陷改变了薄膜和基底的等效折射率，导致了准Brewster角和组合反射率与理想情形的偏离．同时这些微缺陷也改变了光在薄膜和基底中的传播特性，因此反射相移和相位差均偏离理想情

Theoretical analysis of influence of substrate microdefects on polarized light properties of dielectric coatings

A model for refractive index of stratified dielectric substrate was presented according to inhomogeneous coatings theories. The substrate was divided into surface layer, subsurface layer and bulk layer along the normal direction of its surface. The former two layers were equivalent to inhomogeneous coatings. Theoretical deduction was executed by employing the characteristic matrix method of optical coatings, and one mathematical calculation example was presented. The results indicate that reflectance, reflective phase shift and phase difference of polarized light deviate from ideal conditions. It shows that substrate microdefects can induce volume scattering and change propagation characteristic of light both in coatings and substrate. (c) 2005 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Characteristics of the microbial communities in the integrated vertical-flow constructed wetlands

Microorganisms play an important role in removing pollutants from constructed wetlands. We investigated the microbial characteristics in a novel integrated vertical-flow constructed wetland (IVCW), which has been in operation in Wuhan, China since 1998. We used phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) and amoA gene to analyze the structure and diversity of the microbial community within the IVCW. PLFA results suggested that the amount of bacterial PLFA was significantly higher than that of fungal PLFA, but the total microbial biomass represented by PLFA index was low in the system. Microbial spatial distribution showed significantly higher bacterial (both G(+) and G(-)) and fungal biomass in the surface than in the subsurface layers. The ratios of monounsaturated to branched PLFA demonstrated that an anaerobic layer sandwiched by two aerobic layers existed in the IVCW, consistent with the redox potential results. Analysis of the amoA revealed the presence of Nitrosomonas-like sequences in the surface substrate of the downflow chamber and apparent diversities of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in the system. These results suggest that microorganisms, despite their relatively low biomass, have inhabited the IVCW, and the results will offer some valuable information on microbe to system designers and managers.

Enzymatic activities in constructed wetlands and di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) biodegradation

The bioaccumulation of phthalate acid esters (PAEs) from industrial products and their mutagenic action has been suggested to be a potential threat to human health. The effects of the most frequently identified PAE, Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), and its biodegradation, were examined by comparison of two small scale plots (SSP) of integrated vertical-flow constructed wetlands. The influent DBP concentration was 9.84 mg l(-1) in the treatment plot and the control plot received no DBP. Soil enzymatic activities of dehydrogenase, catalase, protease, phosphatase, urease, cellulase, beta-glucosidase, were measured in the two SSP after DBP application for 1 month and 2 months, and 1 month after the final application. Both treatment and control had significantly higher enzyme activity in the surface soil than in the subsurface soil (P < 0.001) and greater enzyme activity in the down-flow chamber than in the up-flow chamber (P < 0.05). In the constructed wetlands, DBP enhanced the activities of dehydrogenase, catalase, protease, phosphatase and inhibited the activities of urease, cellulase and beta-glucosidase. However, urease, cellulase, beta-glucosidase activities were restored 1 month following the final DBP addition. Degradation of DBP was greater in the surface soil and was reduced in sterile soil, indicating that this process may be mediated by aerobic microorgansims. DBP degradation fitted a first-order model, and the kinetic equation showed that the rate constant was 0.50 and 0.17 d(-1), the half-life was 1.39 and 4.02 d, and the r(2) was 0.99 and 0.98, in surface and subsurface soil, respectively. These results indicate that constructed wetlands are able to biodegrade organic PA-Es such as DBP. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Vertical variations in kinetics of alkaline phosphatase and P species in sediments of a shallow Chinese eutrophic lake (Lake Donghu)

The vertical distribution of the variables relevant to P forms in sediments were studied in a shallow Chinese freshwater lake (Lake Donghu) in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000, to assess the contribution of enzyme to P availability in sediment cores. Sediment P was fractionationd into iron-bound P, calcium-bound P, acid soluble organic P (ASOP) and hot NaOH extractable residual organic P. The former two species made the largest contribution to the sediment P pool. All P species exhibited significantly higher concentrations in different depths at Station I, compared with those found at Station II, except for ASOP. Coupled with these lower ASOP concentrations, the V-max data of alkaline phosphatase, measured on the same samples, were significantly higher at station I. Taken together, ASOP were probably important in supplying the enzymatic substrate (Phosphatase Hydrolyzable Phosphorus, PHP) into interstitial water. Dissolved orthophosphate and PHP concentrations were highly heterogeneous , but peaked in subsurface, paralleled by higher V-max and lower K-m values of alkaline phosphatase, throughout the sediment core. Sediment in the eutrophic lake is not only enriched in available P (iron-bound P), or stores residual P, but also tends to release PHP, thereby inducing the production of alkaline phosphatase and releasing o-P into water column by enzymatic hydrolysis. The latter process may also occur in relatively deep sediment layers.

Carbon film deposited by mass-selected low energy ion beam technique and ion bombardment effect

By mass-selected low energy ion beam deposition, amorphous carbon film was obtained. X-ray diffraction, Raman and Auger electron spectroscopy depth line shape measurements showed that such carbon films contained diamond particles. The main growth mechanism is subsurface implantation. Furthermore, it was indicated in a different way that ion bombardment played a decisive role in bias enhanced nucleation of chemical vapor deposition diamond.

Diamond growth by carbon ion implantation of diamond

Medium energy (5-25 keV) C-13(+) ion implantation into diamond (100) to a fluence ranging from 10(16) cm(-2) to 10(18) cm(-2) was performed for the study of diamond growth via the approach of ion beam implantation. The samples were characterized with Rutherford backscattering/channelling spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Extended defects are formed in the cascade collision volume during bombardment at high temperatures. Carbon incorporation indeed induces a volume growth but the diamond (100) samples receiving a fluence of 4 x 10(17) to 2 x 10(18) at. cm(-2) (with a dose rate of 5 x 10(15) at. cm(-2) s(-1) at 5 to 25 keV and 800 degrees C) showed no He-ion channelling. Common to these samples is that the top surface layer of a few nanometers has a substantial amount of graphite which can be removed by chemical etching. The rest of the grown layer is polycrystalline diamond with a very high density of extended defects.

依据土壤水分动力学理论和地下滴灌土壤水分运动特征，在测定地下滴灌滴头出流特性、土壤水分运动参数、地表蒸发强度的基础上，引入作物根系吸水模型，建立了地下滴灌土壤水分运动数值模型，用有限单元法中的Galerkin法对模型进行数值求解，田间验证结果表明模型具有较高的精度。 研究发现，地下滴灌滴头流速随供水压力的增大而增加，呈幂函数关系；不同埋深对滴头流速基本无影响；而土壤初始含水量只在灌水开始时对滴头流速有一定影响，最终滴头流速趋于相同且稳定；地下滴灌滴头流速主要受供水压力和滴头孔径的影响。 运用matlab数值分析软件对土壤持水曲线的van Genuchten模型进行求参，所求VG模型计算的不同水势下土壤含水量计算值与田间实测值之间偏差较小，曲线回归模型相关指数高达0.95，能很好地表征土壤水分特征曲线。 建立了地下滴灌土壤水分运动数值模型，确定地下滴灌条件下具体模型应用的边界和初始条件，利用HYDRUS-2D软件进行有限元求解。运行结果表明所建立的数学模型和所采用的数值方法能够较好地模拟地下滴灌条件下土壤水分运动过程。 采用量纲分析法推导了日光温室地下滴灌条件下的土壤湿润模式模型，建立了湿润宽度和湿润深度的经验公式，与实际监测结果对比，土壤湿润宽度和湿润深度模型估计值与实测之间偏差较小，能准确的模拟地下滴灌条件下土壤湿润体的宽度和深度。

森林流域单元水文模型的构建与应用

目前全球缺水、水污染、洪涝灾害以及水土流失仍然非常严重，尤其在我国北方地区。流域水文模型可用来进行不同需水管理的情景分析，为解决我国水问题提供科学依据。分布式水文模型是流域水文模型的发展方向，具有显著特点：1）应用前景广泛，不仅可以模拟流域水文过程，还可以协助模拟泥沙或污染物的运移过程，为水利工程设计、水土保持、环境保护等领域提供技术支持；2）能够预测流域土地利用或气候变化下的流域水文响应过程变化，为管理部门提供决策支持；3）模型所需要的参数全部具有物理意义，可通过实际测量确定，适合模拟实测系列较短或是无观测流域的水文过程；4）对于目前国际水文界的前沿问题—水文尺度转换提供了一种有效的解决途径。 然而分布式水文模型还不完善，如1)真实性问题。对一些水文过程和边界条件还不确定。2)尺度转换问题。目前很少考虑尺度对参数有效性的影响。3)检验问题。还无法判断对有些难以测量的水文状态变量的模拟正确与否。4)计算时间和数据存储的问题。有些分布式水文模型虽然具有很强的水文物理基础和完善的模型结构，但是计算时间过长和(或)数据存储过大，难以应用。上述问题的核心就是对分布式水文模型的核心—单元水文模型的研究不够，需要为进一步完善单元水文模型进行研究。 本文采用饱和入渗理论、Saint-Venant方程、Richards方程、Penman-Monteith方程等等构建了以有限差分法求解的适用于森林流域的单元水文模型，并通过实验室模拟试验和坡地径流场资料进行了验证，主要结论为： 通过不同坡度和不同雨强下的室内坡面产汇流实验模拟，表明：该模型模拟的坡面流和壤中流过程与实测过程基本一致，峰现时间、径流历时、峰值流量、出流总量模拟值与实测值的相对误差均较小，基本小于10%。模型的模拟精度较高，实用性较强，为深入研究壤中流机制和改进流域降雨-径流模型提供了理论依据。 通过坡地径流观测场实测资料的验证，表明：该模型模拟的坡面流过程精度较高，累计流量的精度更高于小时过程的精度，离差系数、效率系数、确定系数均较理想，具有应用价值，有助于改善分布式水文模型在森林流域的模拟效果。

日光温室渗灌土壤水分运动数值模拟

土壤水动力学参数的推导和土壤水分运动的数值模拟是研究土壤水分运动规律的两个重要部分，是农田节水灌溉自动化控制工程设计的理论依据。本文以曰光温室草甸棕壤的三种质地为研究对象，应用土壤转换函数理论和有限元法，通过RETC软件由土壤机械组成和容重两个基本物理性质指标推导其土壤水动力学参数；运用HYDRUS-2D软件对同一渗灌管埋深〔30cm）、3种管径、10种供水压力、6种初始土壤水势条件下的土壤水分运动进行了数值模拟；并对土壤水动力学参数推导和土壤水分运动数值模拟结果进行了实测验证。结果表明：（1）RETC和HYDRUS-2D是进行土壤水动力学参数推导和土壤水分运动数值模拟的有力工具。（2）土壤水动力学性质对渗灌条件下土壤水分运动速度具有显著的作用，最适宜渗灌的土壤是壤土，偏砂、偏虱质地次之。（3）渗灌的供水压力对三种质地土壤水分运动具有显著的影响。壤砂土、壤土和戮土三种质地土壤的适宜供水压力应分别不小于500cmH2O、700cmH2O、400cmH2O。（4）就内径为10mm、15mm和20mm渗灌管而言，渗灌管管径越大越有利于渗灌水向渗灌管四周土壤入渗，三种质地土壤渗灌均宜采用20mm管径渗管。（5）在壤砂质土和在较干燥的（土壤水势值＜-1000cmH2O）壤质土和赫质土中，土壤初始水势值对渗灌土壤水分运动数值模拟结果的影响较小，而在较湿润的（土壤水势值＞-1000cmH2O）壤质土和载土中，随着土壤初始水势值的降低，渗灌土壤水分运动速度（模拟）加快。
