Thermal fatigue on pistons induced by shaped high power laser. Part I: Experimental study of transient temperature field and temperature oscillation

Thermal fatigue behavior is one of the foremost considerations in the design and operation of diesel engines. It is found that thermal fatigue is closely related to the temperature field and temperature fluctuation in the structure. In this paper, spatially shaped high power laser was introduced to simulate thermal loadings on the piston. The incident Gaussian beam was transformed into concentric multi-circular beam of specific intensity distribution with the help of diffractive optical element (DOE), and the transient temperature fields in the piston similar to those under working conditions could be achieved by setting up appropriate loading cycles. Simulation tests for typical thermal loading conditions, i.e., thermal high cycle fatigue (HCF) and thermal shock (or thermal low cycle fatigue, LCF) were carried out. Several important parameters that affect the transient temperature fields and/or temperature oscillations, including controlling mode, intensity distribution of shaped laser, laser power, temporal profile of laser pulse, heating time and cooling time in one thermal cycle, etc., were investigated and discussed. The results show that as a novel method, the shaped high power laser can simulate thermal loadings on pistons efficiently, and it is helpful in the study of thermal fatigue behavior in pistons.

热浸铝钢等离子体电解氧化陶瓷层的微观力学特性

采用纳米压入方法表征了热浸镀铝钢表面由Al_2O_3层、Al层和FeAl层组成的复合涂层的纳米硬度、弹性模量及断裂韧性等微观力学性能,采用扫描电镜(SEM)观察了纳米压痕形貌,并分析了孔洞对陶瓷层的纳米压入行为和压痕裂纹扩展的影响.结果表明:等离子体电解氧化(PEO)陶瓷层中包含许多微米和亚微米尺度的细小孔洞,陶瓷层弹性模量约为226.4 GPa,纳米硬度约为19.6 GPa.当纳米压入深度为250 nm时,所测得陶瓷层的力学参数分散性较大.与FeAl层比较,PEO陶瓷层具有较高的裂纹扩展阻力.FeAl层纳米压痕顶端产生了沿直线扩展的径向裂纹;而陶瓷层纳米压痕中除径向裂纹外出现了侧边裂纹.

Analysis of asymmetrical cold rolling with varying coefficients of friction

In this research, asymmetrical cold rolling was produced by the difference in the coefficient of friction between rolls and sheets rather than the difference of roll radius or rotation speeds. The influence of friction coefficient ratio on the cross shear deformation, rolling pressure and torque was investigated using slab analysis. The results showed that the shear deformation zone length increased with the increase of the friction coefficient ratio. The rolling force decreased only under the condition that the friction coefficient ratio increased while the sum of the friction coefficients was held constant. As the reduction per pass was increased, the shear deformation zone length increased and the rolling force also increased. An increase of the front tension resulted in a decrease of the shear deformation zone length. An increase of back tension, however, led to an increase of the shear deformation zone length. The reduction of rolling torque for the work roll with higher surface roughness was greater than that for the work roll with lower surface roughness. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

La contribución del matrimonio al bien común : perspectivas y desafíos

Resumen: Este artículo se propone estudiar la vinculación entre matrimonio y bien común, a partir del debate en la Argentina de la ley 26.618 de legalización de las uniones homosexuales como matrimonio y de los lineamientos propuestos por Benedicto XVI en Caritas in Veritate. Se advierte una claudicación en la búsqueda del bien común que obedece a diferentes factores, sobre todo el relativismo cultural. Se propone una noción de bien común que respeta la dignidad de la persona y su dimensión social y se consideran las contribuciones del matrimonio al bien común. Se advierte cómo la ley 26.618 concede a las uniones de personas del mismo sexo beneficios propios del matrimonio entre varón y mujer sin que se cumplan las funciones sociales de esa institución. También se proponen algunas condiciones de la vida social que favorecen al matrimonio para que así contribuya al bien común, con especial referencia al ámbito de la legislación, las políticas públicas, los medios de comunicación, la empresa y el mundo del trabajo y la ciencia y la tecnología. Finalmente, se consideran los obstáculos que surgieron en el reciente debate legislativo por la aparición de un laicismo militante y la contribución de las religiones al bien común desde una sana laicidad en esta materia.

降雨条件下土壤入渗的规律研究

本文从描述非饱和土壤中水分流动的基本方程出发,对4种不同典型土壤在各种假定的均匀降雨速率下的入渗速率进行了数值模拟。结果表明,在降雨初期,由于降雨率低于入渗率,故全部雨量入渗,但当雨率大于入渗速率之后,入渗流动可以比拟为饱和水柱向非饱和区推进的柱塞流,其速率与饱和水柱长度成反比,而与分隔非饱和区与饱和水柱的湿润阵面上吸力大小成正比。如果对实际计算的吸力与Mein及Larson所推荐的理论计算吸力分别按各自最大吸力进行无量纲化,发现二者值吻合得很好。根据柱塞流这样一个概念,本文推导了决定入渗率等于雨率时的时间及该时的湿润锋面位置,并继而推导了在此以后,如果雨率永远大于入渗率情况下(并且不考虑地表有积水)入渗速率与湿润锋面位置的解析解,大大地简化了入渗率的工作量,具有实际应用的意义。
