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.

Seasonal Biomass and Carbohydrate Allocation Patterns in Southern Minnesota Curlyleaf Pondweed Populations

Four southern Minnesota populations of curlyleaf pondweed ( Potamogeton crispus L.) were sampled monthly from January 2001 to November 2002 to determine seasonal phenological, biomass, and carbohydrate allocation patterns. Low periods of carbohydrate storage in the seasonal phenological cycle indicate potentially vulnerable periods in the plant’s life cycle and may be the ideal time to initiate management and control efforts.

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

Eurasian watermilfoil biomass associated with insect herbivores in New York

A study of aquatic plant biomass within Cayuga Lake, New York spans twelve years from 1987-1998. The exotic Eurasian watermilfoil ( Myriophyllum spicatum L.) decreased in the northwest end of the lake from 55% of the total biomass in 1987 to 0.4% in 1998 and within the southwest end from 50% in 1987 to 11% in 1998. Concurrent with the watermilfoil decline was the resurgence of native species of submersed macrophytes. During this time we recorded for the first time in Cayuga Lake two herbivorous insect species: the aquatic moth Acentria ephemerella , first observed in 1991, and the aquatic weevil Euhrychiopsis lecontei , first found in 1996 . Densities of Acentria in southwest Cayuga Lake averaged 1.04 individuals per apical meristem of Eurasian watermilfoil for the three-year period 1996-1998. These same meristems had Euhrychiopsis densities on average of only 0.02 individuals per apical meristem over the same three-year period. A comparison of herbivore densities and lake sizes from five lakes in 1997 shows that Acentria densities correlate positively with lake surface area and mean depth, while Euhrychiopsis densities correlate negatively with lake surface area and mean depth. In these five lakes, Acentria densities correlate negatively with percent composition and dry mass of watermilfoil. However, Euhrychiopsis densities correlate positively with percent composition and dry mass of watermilfoil. Finally, Acentria densities correlate negatively with Euhrychiopsis densities suggesting interspecific competition.

Temporal and spatial changes in milfoil distribution and biomass associated with weevils in Fish Lake, WI

During the course of an eight year monitoring effort, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources documented a significant decline in milfoil biomass and distribution in Fish Lake, Wisconsin. Average milfoil biomass declined by 40- 50% from 374-524 g dw m -2 during 1991-93 to 265 g dw m -2 during both 1994 and 1995. Milfoil recovered fully in 1996- 98 to 446- 564 g dw m -2 . The size of the milfoil bed, as discerned from aerial photographs, shrank from a maximum coverage of 40 ha in 1991 to less than 20 ha during 1995. During the “crash” of 1994-95, milfoil plants exhibited typical signs of weevil-induced damage, including darkened, brittle, hollowed-out growing tips, and the arching and collapse of stems associated with loss of buoyancy. Monitoring of weevils and stem damage during 1995-98 showed highest densities and heaviest damage occurred near shore and subsequently fanned out into deeper water from core infestation sites each spring. The extent of milfoil stem damage was positively correlated with weevil densities (monthly sampling). However, weevil densities and stem damage were lower during 1995 (when milfoil biomass was in decline) than during 1996-98 (when milfoil biomass was fully recovered).

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

Stock assessment of protogynous fish: evaluating measures of spawning biomass used to estimate biological reference points

In stock assessments, recruitment is typically modeled as a function of females only. For protogynous stocks, however, disproportionate fishing on males increases the possibility of reduced fertilization rates. To incorporate the importance of males in protogynous stocks, assessment models have been used to predict recruitment not just from female spawning biomass (Sf), but also from that of males (Sm) or both sexes (Sb). We conducted a simulation study to evaluate the ability of these three measures to estimate biological reference points used in fishery management. Of the three, Sf provides best estimates if the potential for decreased fertilization is weak, whereas Sm is best only if the potential is very strong. In general, Sb estimates the true reference points most closely, which indicates that if the potential for decreased fertilization is moderate or unknown, Sb should be used in assessments of protogynous stocks. Moreover, for a broad range of scenarios, relative errors from Sf and Sb occur in opposite directions, indicating that estimates from these measures could be used to bound uncertainty.

Egg production, spawning biomass and factors influencing recruitment of striped bass in the Potomac River and the upper Chesapeake Bay

Ichthyoplankton surveys in the Potomac River and Upper Chesapeake Bay were carried out in 1989 to estimate striped bass egg productions, age specific spawning biomasses of adult females, cohort-specific larval growth and mortality rates, and hatch dates of 8.0 mm larvae survivors. Possible consequences to recruitment of environmental factors were examined in 1989 and for data collected in 1987-1988. The temporal and spatial occurrences and distributions of eggs and larvae In both spawning areas are described and discussed in relation to environmental factors (temperature, rainfall, river discharge, pH, conductivity, zooplankton abundances) (PDF contains 319 pages)
