Energy Conversion in Shape Memory Alloy Heat Engine Part I: Theory

Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) can be easily deformed to a new shape by applying a small external load at low temperature, and then recovers its original configuration upon heating. This unique shape memory phenomenon has inspired many novel designs. SMA based heat engine is one among them. SMA heat engine is an environment-friendly alternative to extract mechanical energy from low-grade energies, for instance, warm wastewater, geothermal energy, solar thermal energy, etc. The aim of this paper is to present an applicable theoretical model for simulation of SMA-based heat engines. First, a micro-mechanical constitutive model is derived for SMAs. The volume fractions of austenite and martensite variants are chosen as internal variables to describe the evolution of microstructure in SMA upon phase transition. Subsequently, the energy equation is derived based on the first thermodynamic law and the previous SMA model. From Fourier’s law of heat conduction and Newton’s law of cooling, both differential and integral forms of energy conversion equation are obtained.

重力对异向聚集过程影响的探讨

自90年代初,分散体系聚集过程的微重力研究开始受到重视,并有一系列论文发表[1－4].Folkersma[3,4]等人在最近发表的文章中,公布了他们的最新研究结果.在探空火箭实现的微重力条件下,他们发现聚集速率要比地面实验快11倍多.为了解释这一现象,他们把重力的影响分为两部分,即沉降和自然对流.用密度匹配法,检验了在无沉降时的聚集过程.得到的结果是,聚集速率在无重力沉降影响时会比有沉降时快2.7倍.即便如此,微重力实验的聚集速率仍高出4.2倍.他们推断,这一巨大差异是由在地面上无法避免的自然对流造成的.

El trabajo se realizó en el periodo comprendido entre Julio y Octubre de 1995, en la Estación Experimental del Valle de Sébaco, Matagalpa. Se evaluaron tres densidades de siembra y tres tipos de tutores en el cultivo de tomate (Lycopersicon esculetum Mill),para el consumo fresco, con el objetivo de determinar el efecto de las diferentes distancias de siembra y tutores el crecimiento, desarrollo y rendimiento. El diseño utilizado filé una parcela dividida en B.C.A con nueve tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones establecidos en camellones. El análisis estadístico realizado a las variables evaluadas demostró que la mayoría de ellas presentaron diferencias significativas entre si. En cuanto a crecimiento y desarrollo, la mayor altura y diámetro, la presentó la densidad de 25 000 plantas sin embargo para el número de racimos la obtuvo la densidad de 20 000 plantas, por otro lado en cuanto al tutor, el mayor valor tanto en altura como en diámetro, fué obtenido por el tutor de espaldera de un solo alambre en cambio para el número de racimos fué el tutor de caballete. Respecto a los rendimientos comerciales, la densidad de siembra que produjo los mejores rendimientos, fué la densidad de 25 000 plantas con 5.28 t/ha y para tutores con 6.02 ti ha obtenido por el tutor de caballete, las mayores pérdidas en cuanto a frutos no comerciales la presentó la densidad de 33 750 plantas con 27.43 t/ha, respecto a tutor con 24.83 t/ha fué obtenida por el tutor de caballete. La correlación realizada entre los componentes de crecimiento, desarrollo y rendimiento, presentaron correlaciones positivas entre la mayoría de las variables evaluadas a excepción de altura de planta.

Deformation behavior and microstructure effect in 2124Al/SiCp composite

Dynamic compression tests were performed by means of a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). Test materials were 2124Al alloys reinforced with 17% volume fraction of 3, 13 and 37 μm SiC particles, respectively. Under strain rate ε = 2100 l/s, SiC particles have a strong effect on σ_0.2 of the composites and the σ_0.2 increases with different SiC particle size in the following order: 2124Al-alloy → 124Al/SiC_p (37 μm) → 2124Al/SiC_p (13 μm) → 2124Al/SiC_p (3 μm), and the strain hardening of the composites depends mainly on the strain hardening of matrix, 2124A1 alloy. The results of dimensional analysis present that the flow stress of these composites not only depends on the property of reinforcement and matrix but also relates to the microstructure scale, matrix grain size, reinforcement size, the distance between reinforcements and dislocations in matrix. The normalized flow stress here is a function of inverse power of the edge-edge particle spacing, dislocation density and matrix grain size. Close-up observation shows that, in the composite containing SiC particles (3 μm), localized deformation formed readily comparing with other materials under the same loading condition. Microscopic observations indicate that different plastic flow patterns occur within the matrix due to the presence of hard particles with different sizes.

In this paper, the architecture of a vector-matrix multiplier (MVM) is simulated. The optical design can be made compact by the use of GRIN lenses for the optical fan-in. The intended application area was in storage area networks (SANs) but the concept can be applied to a neural network. © 2011 Allerton Press, Inc.

Saturated duration of rectangular pressure pulse applied to rectangular plates with finite-deflections

The inequities in health care and housing access experienced by low-income women in the United States are a continuing concern. This article addresses the interrelationships between housing and health as experienced by low-income clients so that health care practitioners can begin to build active and effective health-promoting partnerships with clients, their families, and their communities. A case study is presented that describes the actual experience of a woman living in a low-income housing development and its effect on her health and access to health care. The importance of the role of midwives in addressing the health care and advocacy needs of women in substandard housing is highlighted.

Notas sobre el aumento de la importancia política de las organizaciones internacionales

Introducción: En nuestro mundo contemporáneo es común mencionar a las Organizaciones Internacionales (OIs) o bien –sin entrar en confusión– a las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales, más conocidas como las ONGs. Ejemplo de las primeras son las Naciones Unidas, la Organización de Estados Americanos, la Unión Europea o la Organización del Atlántico Norte –OTAN-NATO–; de las segundas, Amnistía Internacional –Amnesty International–1, Médicos Sin Fronteras –Médecins Sans Frontières–2, Rotary Internacional3 o Greenpeace4. Las Organizaciones Internacionales de nuestro interés son las Intergubernamentales, es decir, todas aquellas Organizaciones creadas por los Estados, los cuales adquieren la calidad de Estados Miembro. Las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales, como su nombre ya lo indica, pertenecen a la órbita de los particulares, pudiendo agrupar personas y/o entidades nacionales o internacionales. Las OIs han ido teniendo un espectacular desarrollo producido durante la segunda parte del siglo XX, aunque sus inicios son decimonónicos.

Effects of physical parameter range on dimensionless variable sensitivity in water flooding reservoirs

The similarity criterion for water flooding reservoir flows is concerned with in the present paper. When finding out all the dimensionless variables governing this kind of flow, their physical meanings are subsequently elucidated. Then, a numerical approach of sensitivity analysis is adopted to quantify their corresponding dominance degree among the similarity parameters. In this way, we may finally identify major scaling law in different parameter range and demonstrate the respective effects of viscosity, permeability and injection rate.

Fatigue crack-growth from a circular notch under high-levels of biaxial stress

A series of experiments have been conducted on cruciform specimens to investigate fatigue crack growth from circular notches under high levels of biaxial stress. Two stress levels (Δσ₁= 380 and 560 MPa) and five stress biaxialities (λ=+1.0, +0.5, 0, −0.5 and −1.0; where λ=σ₂/σ₁ were adopted in the fatigue tests in type 316 stainless steel having a monotonic yield strength of 243 MPa. The results reveal that fatigue crack growth rates are markedly influenced by both the stress amplitude and the stress biaxiality. A modified model has been developed to describe fatigue crack growth under high levels of biaxial stress.

Creep characterization of a fiber reinforced plastic material

Creep behavior of [±45°]_s composite material is characterized by using uniaxial creep and recovery tests. The well-known Schapery nonlinear viscoelastic consti tutive relation was modified to make it suitable for characterizing the creep behavior of this material. Then, using this modified Schapery constitutive equation, by which the vis coplastic and creep damage can be taken into consideration, the creep behavior of [±45°]. glass fiber reinforced epoxy laminate was studied. The constitutive parameters of the material were determined experimentally, and the procedure and method of determination of the material parameters are proved to be valid.
