Residual Stress And Deformation Analysis Of Anodic Bonded Multi-Layer Of Glass And Aluminum

The bonding of glass wafer to aluminum foils in multi-layer assemblies was made by the common anodic bonding process. The bonding was performed at temperatures in the range 350-450 degrees C and with an applied voltage in the range 400-700 V under a pressure of 0.05 MPa. Residual stress and deformation in samples of two-layer (aluminum/glass) and three-layer (glass/aluminum/glass) were analyzed by nonlinear finite element simulation software MARC. The stress and strain varying with cooling time were obtained. The analyzed results show that deformation of the three-layer sample is significantly smaller than that of the two-layer sample, because of the symmetric structure of the three-layer sample. This has an important advantage in MEMS fabrication. The maximum equivalent stresses locate in the transition layer in both samples, which will become weakness in bonded sample.

Influence of thermal residual stresses on the composite macroscopic behavior

The influence of the thermal residual stress on the deformation behavior of a composite has been analyzed with a new micromechanical method. The method is based on secant moduli approximation and a new homogenized effective stress to characterize the plastic state of the matrix. It is found that the generated thermal residual stresses after cooling and their influence on the subsequent deformation behavior depends significantly on the aspect ratio of the inclusions. With prolate inclusions, the presence of thermal residual stresses generate a higher compressive hardening curves of the composite, but it is reversed with oblate inclusions. For particle reinforced composite, thermal residual stresses induce a tensile hardening curve higher than the compressive one and this is in agreement with experimental observations.

Nonlinear fatigue damage model based on the residual strength degradation law

In this paper, a logarithmic expression to describe the residual strength degradation process is developed in order to fatigue test results for normalized carbon steel. The definition and expression of fatigue damage due to symmetrical stress with a constant amplitude are also given. The expression of fatigue damage can also explain the nonlinear properties of fatigue damage. Furthermore, the fatigue damage of structures under random stress is analyzed, and an iterative formula to describe the fatigue damage process is deduced. Finally, an approximate method for evaluating the fatigue life of structures under repeated random stress blocking is presented through various calculation examples.

Determinación de la acción residual en diferentes dosis de chlorpyrifos (Lorsban) con énfasis en la dosis mínima, para control de cogollero (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith; Lepidotera: Noctuidae) en maíz

Este ensayo fue realizado con el objetivo de conocer cuál es el efecto de diferente dosis de chlorpyripos sobre el tiempo de protección, buscando la dosis más adecuada para control del gusano cogollero, spodoptera frugiperda (j.e Smith) , en maíz. De manera que este estudio nos permitiera decidir cuál es el momento indicado de un recuento para una posterior aplicación del pesticida y 6 fundamentalmente bajar los costos de protección. Al evaluar la acción residual se encontró diferencia significativa entre las dosis de 1,0.5, 0.25, 0.125,0.0625 1t/mz de chlorpyrifos. La dosis de 0.25 1t/mz no es diferente de la dosis de 1 1t/mz cuanto a la acción residual de chlorpyrifos y sus promedio de rendimiento tienen también mucha similiridad pero su costo determinan la diferencia. Los resultado conducen a decidir la recomendación de la dosis de 0.25 1t/mz por ser la más económica con una acción residual de 23.3 días y un costo de control de $ 242.55 con 2.2 aplicaciones promedio en todo el periodo del cultivo, a diferencia de la dosis más alta usada de 1 1t/mz con una acción residual de 21.9 días, un promedio de 2.6 aplicaciones y un costo de $ 795.6 y el rendimiento final no es diferente entre ellas. Por otro lado de asegura que con una sola aplicación de chlorpyrifos se garantiza la mortalidad de larvas de spodoptera frugiperda (j.e. Smith) durante a los 5 a 10 días después de aplicación. Todo los anteriores permite dar un lapso estable en el tiempo que se sabe tomar para recuento, decidir la dosis mínima más económica, por su acción residual y bajar así los costó de producción.

Acción residual del hongo entomopatógeno Nomuraea rileyi (Farlow) Samson, en el follaje del maíz (Zea mays) aplicado para control del cogollero Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith (Lepidoptera: noctuidae)

El maíz al igual que otros cultivos es atacado por un complejo de plagas que cuasan merma en la producción. Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith ( Lep. Noctidae) es una de las plagas claves en el cultivo del maíz. El costo de control de S. Frugiperda asciende hasta US$ 9,500.000 anulaes utilizando Chlorpyrifos (Lorasban 4 E) ( hrusca y Gladstone), 1987). Con el propósito de disminuir los costos de control de S. frugiperda se buscan alternativas de control que disminuyen la utilización de los productos químicos: es un candidato con potencial para ser utilizado como insecticida microbial para control de plagas lepidopteras (Ignoffo, 1981). Nomuraea fileye ha sido objeto de muchos estudios en Nicaragua para tratar de implementar su uso. Se realizó una evaluación de la acción residual de conidias de N. Fileyi en el follaje de maíz aplicado para control de SA. Frigiperda: Se probo el efecto sobre la acción residual de dos dosis de conidias; 4.1 x1012 conidias /0.4 ha. Y 4.1 x1011 conidias /0.4 ha y el efecto de tres formulasciones de conidias: conidias mas agua; conidias mas adherente Tritòn x-100 al 0.05% y conidias mas adherente protectivo melaza al 0.05%. El estudio se realizó en el Centro Nacional de Investigación de Granos Básicos “ San Cristóbal” del MIDINRA, Managua, el diseño experimental fue bloques completamente al Azar: las pruebas de acción residual consistieron en bioensayos con larvas de S. Frugiperda y hojas de maíz tratado con conidias recolectadas en el ensayo a los 0,1,2,4y 9 días después de aplicación. Se encontró que no existe efecto significativo de dosis y formulaciones de conidias sobre acción residual: sin embargo hubo una tendencia a obtener una mayor acción residual con la utilización de adherentes: con el adherente protectivo melaza debido a la acción residual hasta 4 días después de aplicación debido a la acción de protección que ejerce sobre las conidias: Se encontró efecto significativo del tiempo de exportación de conidias en el campo sobre acción residual. La acción residual fue poca debido probablemente a la influencia negativa de factores ambientales: El viento y la lluvia provocan diseminación de las conidias: el Vientos y la lluvia provocan diseminación de las conidias: La radiación solar inactiva las conidias reduciendo el periodo de desintegración en el follaje hasta solamente 2-3 días (Ignoffo, 1977). Sabiendo que la acción residual en el follaje del maíz es poca, se debe hacer la aplicación de conidias cuando esté presente en el hospedero en el cultivo: De esta menara habrá mayor oportunidad de inicia un brote de epizootia de micosis en el cultivo. Para investigaciones futuras se recomienda probar dosis más altas de conidias y el uso de adherente protectivos para tratar bajo diferentes condiciones ambientales para comprobar los resultados obtenidos.

Thermal Residual Stresses in SiCw/Al Composite

<正> The SiCw/6061Al composites were fabricated by squeeze casting method. Varia-tions of thermal residual stresses with quenching temperature, cooling manner, aging time and thethermal-cold cycle process in thin specimens,and the distributions of thermal residual stresses alongthe distances from the surface and changes with heating temperatnres in thick specimens were stud-ied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effects of residual stresses on the mierostructure, di-mensional stability and age-hardening behavior were studied by SEM, TEM observations, and tensiletest. The results showed that there existed macrostress, microstress and thermal mismatch stress inSiCw/Al compo-site,and the presence of microstress and thermal mismatch stress has no influenceon the measurement of macrostress, but the macrostress can affect the measured value of thermalmismatch stress. Thermal res dual stress induced during the composite fabrication process, will be further in-creased when the composite were subjected to the e

A rational fraction polynomials model to study vertical dynamic wheel-rail interaction

This paper presents a model designed to study vertical interactions between wheel and rail when the wheel moves over a rail welding. The model focuses on the spatial domain, and is drawn up in a simple fashion from track receptances. The paper obtains the receptances from a full track model in the frequency domain already developed by the authors, which includes deformation of the rail section and propagation of bending, elongation and torsional waves along an infinite track. Transformation between domains was secured by applying a modified rational fraction polynomials method. This obtains a track model with very few degrees of freedom, and thus with minimum time consumption for integration, with a good match to the original model over a sufficiently broad range of frequencies. Wheel-rail interaction is modelled on a non-linear Hertzian spring, and consideration is given to parametric excitation caused by the wheel moving over a sleeper, since this is a moving wheel model and not a moving irregularity model. The model is used to study the dynamic loads and displacements emerging at the wheel-rail contact passing over a welding defect at different speeds.

Analytical Methods of Residual Strength in Injecting Water Pipeline

In this paper, common criterions about residual strength evaluation at home and abroad are generalized and seven methods are acquired, namely ASME-B31G, DM, Wes-2805-97, CVDA-84, Burdekin, Irwin and J integral methods. BP neural network are Combined with Genetic Algorithm (GA) named by modified BP-GA methods to successfully predict residual strength and critical pressure of injecting water, corrosion pipelines. Examples are shown that calculation results of every kind of method have great difference and calculating values of Wes-2805-97 criterion, ASME-B31G criterion, CVDA-84 criterion and Irwin fracture mechanics model are conservative and higher than, those of J integral methods while calculating values of Burdiken model and DM fracture mechanics model are dangerous and less than those of J integral methods and calculating values of modified BP-GA methods are close and moderate to those of J integral methods. Therefore modified BP-GA methods and J integral methods are considered better methods to calculate residual strength and critical pressure of injecting water corrosion pipelines

Seasonal, horizontal, and vertical distribution of phytoplankton chlorophyll a in the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf Ecosystem

The broad scale features in the horizontal, vertical, and seasonal distribution of phytoplankton chlorophyll a on the northeast U.S. continental shelf are described based on 57,088 measurements made during 78 oceanographic surveys from 1977 through 1988. Highest mean water column chlorophyll concentration (Chlw,) is usually observed in nearshore areas adjacent to the mouths of the estuaries in the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB), over the shallow water on Georges Bank, and a small area sampled along the southeast edge of Nantucket Shoals. Lowest Chlw «0.125 ug l-1) is usually restricted to the most seaward stations sampled along the shelf-break and the central deep waters in the Gulf of Maine. There is at least a twofold seasonal variation in phytoplankton biomass in all areas, with highest phytoplankton concentrations (m3) and highest integrated standing stocks (m2) occurring during the winter-spring (WS) bloom, and the lowest during summer, when vertical density stratification is maximal. In most regions, a secondary phytoplankton biomass pulse is evident during convective destratification in fall, usually in October. Fall bloom in some areas of Georges Bank approaches the magnitude of the WS-bloom, but Georges Bank and Middle Atlantic Bight fall blooms are clearly subordinate to WS-blooms. Measurements of chlorophyll in two size-fractions of the phytoplankton, netplankton (>20 um) and nanoplankton «20 um), revealed that the smaller nanoplankton are responsible for most of the phytoplankton biomass on the northeast U.S. shelf. Netplankton tend to be more abundant in nearshore areas of the MAB and shallow water on Georges Bank, where chlorophyll a is usually high; nanoplankton dominate deeper water at the shelf-break and deep water in the Gulf of Maine, where Chlw is usually low. As a general rule, the percent of phytoplankton in the netplankton size-fraction increases with increasing depth below surface and decreases proceeding offshore. There are distinct seasonal and regional patterns in the vertical distribution of chlorophyll a and percent netplankton, as revealed in composite vertical profiles of chlorophyll a constructed for 11 layers of the water column. Subsurface chlorophyll a maxima are ubiquitous during summer in stratified water. Chlorophyll a in the subsurface maximum layer is generally 2-8 times the concentration in the overlying and underlying water and approaches 50 to 75% of the levels observed in surface water during WS-bloom. The distribution of the ratio of the subsurface maximum chlorophyll a to surface chlorophyll a (SSR) during summer parallels the shelfwide pattern for stability, indexed as the difference in density (sigma-t) between 40 m and surface (stability 40. The weakest stability and lowest SSR's are found in shallow tidally-mixed water on Georges Bank; the greatest stability and highest SSR's (8-12:1) are along the mid and outer MAB shelf, over the winter residual water known as the "cold band." On Georges Bank, the distribution of SSR and the stability40 are roughly congruent with the pattern for maximum surface tidal current velocity, with values above 50 cms-1 defining SSR's less than 2:1 and the well-mixed area. Physical factors (bathymetry, vertical mixing by strong tidal currents, and seasonal and regional differences in the intensity and duration of vertical stratification) appear to explain much of the variability in phytoplankton chlorophyll a throughout this ecosystem.

A Simple Model For Predicting The Void Fraction Of Gas/Non-Newtonian Fluid Intermittent Flows In Upward Inclined Pipes

In this work, a simple correlation, which incorporates the mixture velocity, drift velocity, and the correction factor of Farooqi and Richardson, was proposed to predict the void fraction of gas/non-Newtonian intermittent flow in upward inclined pipes. The correlation was based on 352 data points covering a wide range of flow rates for different CMC solutions at diverse angles. A good agreement was obtained between the predicted and experimental results. These results substantiated the general validity of the model presented for gas/non-Newtonian two-phase intermittent flows.

Investigation on average void fraction for air/non-Newtonian power-law fluids two-phase flow in downward inclined pipes

The present work has been carried out to investigate on the average void fraction of gas/non-Newtonian fluids flow in downward inclined pipes. The influences of pipe inclination angle on the average void fraction were studied experimentally. A simple correlation, which incorporated the method of Vlachos et al. for gas/Newtonain fluid horizontal flow, the correction factor of Farooqi and Richardson and the pipe inclination angle, was proposed to predict the average void fraction of gas/non-Newtonian power-law stratified flow in downward inclined pipes. The correlation was based on 470 data points covering a wide range of flow rates for different systems at diverse angles. A good agreement was obtained between theory and data and the fitting results could describe the majority of the experimental data within ±20%.

Radio frequency studies of surface resistance and critical magnetic field of type I and type II superconductors

The surface resistance and the critical magnetic field of lead electroplated on copper were studied at 205 MHz in a half-wave coaxial resonator. The observed surface resistance at a low field level below 4.2°K could be well described by the BCS surface resistance with the addition of a temperature independent residual resistance. The available experimental data suggest that the major fraction of the residual resistance in the present experiment was due to the presence of an oxide layer on the surface. At higher magnetic field levels the surface resistance was found to be enhanced due to surface imperfections.

The attainable rf critical magnetic field between 2.2°K and T_c of lead was found to be limited not by the thermodynamic critical field but rather by the superheating field predicted by the one-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau theory. The observed rf critical field was very close to the expected superheating field, particularly in the higher reduced temperature range, but showed somewhat stronger temperature dependence than the expected superheating field in the lower reduced temperature range.

The rf critical magnetic field was also studied at 90 MHz for pure tin and indium, and for a series of SnIn and InBi alloys spanning both type I and type II superconductivity. The samples were spherical with typical diameters of 1-2 mm and a helical resonator was used to generate the rf magnetic field in the measurement. The results of pure samples of tin and indium showed that a vortex-like nucleation of the normal phase was responsible for the superconducting-to-normal phase transition in the rf field at temperatures up to about 0.98-0.99 T_c' where the ideal superheating limit was being reached. The results of the alloy samples showed that the attainable rf critical fields near T_c were well described by the superheating field predicted by the one-dimensional GL theory in both the type I and type II regimes. The measurement was also made at 300 MHz resulting in no significant change in the rf critical field. Thus it was inferred that the nucleation time of the normal phase, once the critical field was reached, was small compared with the rf period in this frequency range.
