Effect of grain size on slow fatigue crack propagation and plastic deformation near crack tip

Fatigue crack growth and its threshold are investigated at a stress ratio of 0.5 for the three-point bend specimen made of Austenitic stainless steel. The effect of grain size on the crack tip plastic deformation is investigated. The results show that the threshold value Δkth increases linearly with the square root of grain size d and the growth rate is slower for materials with larger grain size. The plastic zone size and ratio for different grain sizes are different at the threshold. The maximum stress intensity factor is kmax and σys is the yield strength. At the same time, the characteristics of the plastic deformation development is discontinuous and anti-symmetric as the growth rate is increased from 2·10—8 to 10−7 mm/cycle.

Evolution and propagation of density waves on galactic disk .1. General evolution equation of wavelet and discussion of its solution

This paper presents a general self-consistent theory of evolution and propagation of wavelets on the galactic disk. A simplified model for this theory, i. e. the thin transition-layer approximation is proposed.There are three types of solutions to the basic equation governing the evolution of wavelets on the disk: (ⅰ) normal propagating type; (ⅱ) swing type; (ⅲ) general evolving type. The results show that the first two types are applicable to a certain domain on the galactic disk and a certain region of the wave number of wavelets. The third is needed to join the other two types and to yield a coherent total picture of the wave motion. From the present theory, it can be seen that the well-known "swing theory" of the G-L sheet model holds only for a certain class of basic states of galaxies.

Evolution and propagation of density waves on galactic disk .2. An approximation of the thin transition layer

In this part of the present work, a simplified model—the thin transition layer theory is proposed. The comparison of this model with the G-L sheet model is made.

Ductile crack propagation with the strain-energy density criterion

The strain energy density criterion is used to characterize subcritical crack growth in a thin aluminum alloy sheet undergoing general yielding. A finite element analysis which incorporates both material and geometrical nonlinear behaviors of the cracked sheets is developed to predict fracture loads at varying crack growth increments. The predicted results are in excellent agreement with those measured experimentally, thus confirming the validity of the strain energy density criterion for characterizing ductile crack propagation.

光纤Bragg光栅液氦环境下温度传感特性的研究

进行了液氦温度（4．2K）到室温（298K）温区内光纤Bragg光栅（FHG）温度传感性能的实验研究。重点分析了液氦温度（4．2K）到液氮温度（77K）FBG的温度传感特性。实验表明：FHG传感特性与温度相关。在50K以下，温度响应基本没有变化；50K-77K，波长偏移量随温度上升变化不规律；150K-298K传感特性近似成线性。对比裸光栅与涂敷光栅，涂敷光栅的温度灵敏度远大于裸光栅的温度灵敏度。选用外加热膨胀系数大的聚合物封装，可以显著提高FHG的温敏系数和线性度。

光纤Bragg光栅在77K环境下的温度传感性能研究

进行了从液氮温度(77 K)到室温(286 K)的光纤Bragg光栅(FBG)温度传感性能的实验研究。结果表明,FBG的温敏系数与温度相关。低于210 K,FBG的温敏系数变小,这将限制低温环境下FBG作为温度传感器的使用。通过在裸FBG外部涂敷热膨胀系数为61×10-6的丙烯酸脂材料,可以显著提高FBG的温敏系数和线性度。80 K时,有丙烯酸脂包层材料的FBG温敏系数为0.01526 nm/K,而同温度条件下裸FBG的温敏系数仅为0.00449 nm/K。
