A finite strain contact model for mixed lubricated surfaces in forming processes

For an accurate simulation of forming processes, it is of paramount importance to model the different lubrication regimes that can develop at the contact interface. These might vary from zone to zone of the forming piece, and from one regime to another, resulting in forces of different nature and magnitude. In these cases, the use of the classical Coulomb friction law will be clearly not sufficient to capture, in a suitable manner, the variety of forces applied on the forming piece.     

Determination of Some Organochlorine Compounds in the Atmosphere

Abstract

Since plastics are suspected to adsorb orthophosphate, disposable-tip pipettes have been checked to determine their ability to be used in orthophosphate calibration. No adsorption has been detected through an experiment of standard preparation with and without changing the pipette tip. That is, the pipettes appear to be convenient for orthophosphate calibration.     

A critique of the unsaturable trap model of radiation damage in metals

The unsaturable trap model, which attributes the increase of the electrical resistivity of fcc metals during electron irradiation in the temperature regime of Stage-II recovery to the trapping of Stage-I_E interstitials at impurity atoms, is shown to be in serious disagreement with the experiments, contrary to opposite statements in the literature. As shown recently, the predictions of the unsaturable trap model are independent of the dimensionality of the diffusion of the Stage-I_E interstitials. Previous attempts to rule out a one-dimensional migration of the Stage-I_E interstitials (and hence the two-interstitial model) on the basis of the alleged agreement of the unsaturable trap model with Stage-II damage curves are thus meaningless. On the contrary, it is demonstrated that the two-interstitial model accounts for minute details of the measured Stage-II damage curves in a natural way.     

Influence of the surface morphology on the melting of polymer crystals. I. Loops of random length and adjacent reentry

A polymer crystal with a noncrystalline surface layer formed by chain loops of different lengths is considered. It is assumed that the length of each loop can be changed by longitudinal diffusion of the molecule through the crystal lattice. From the condition that the free energy of the system is minimum, the loop length distribution and the average loop length as function of temperature are calculated. In contrast to the results for loops of equal length, for the present model, a substantial thickness of the noncrystalline surface layer and a broad melting range is obtained also for the case of adjacent reentry. In order to get this result one has to take into account that even an “ideal fold” consists of at least four rigidly arranged CH2 groups in energetically unfavored conformation.

优化端点条件的平面二次均匀B样条插值曲线

在利用反求法构造B样条插值曲线时，往往需要选取端点条件。 因此，可对端点条件进行优化选取，使得构造的B样条插值曲线满足特定要求。提出了一种利用曲线内能极小选取平面二次均匀B样条插值曲线端点条件的算法。首先给出了二次均匀B样条插值曲线分控制顶点与首个控制顶点（即端点条件）的递推关系式；然后给出了利用曲线内能极小优化选取首个控制顶点的算法，证明了利用该算法构造的C¹连续二次均匀B样条插值曲线为保形插值，并通过数值算例证明了算法的有效性；最后，为便于实际应用，基于MATLAB平台设计了算法所对应的图形用户界面，用户通过简单的操作即可获得光顺的C¹连续二次均匀B样条保形插值曲线。     

Rational points and Galois points for a plane curve over a finite field

We study the relationship between rational points and Galois points for a plane curve over a finite field. It is known that the set of Galois points coincides with that of rational points of the projective plane if the curve is the Hermitian, Klein quartic or Ballico–Hefez curve. The author proposes a problem: Does the converse hold true? If the curve of genus zero or one has a rational point, we have an affirmative answer.

基于两平行线及其线上三点的摄像机标定方法

在大视场交通监控摄像机的标定中,由于不便于放置大尺寸标定靶标,常采用交通标线构成的特定几何图形替代标定靶标,但许多交通场景仅有一组平行的车道分界交通标线,难以获得传统标定方法所需的标定约束条件。针对此类交通场景,选取两平行交通标线和其中一条线上的三点作为标定参考物,依靠其中一条线上三点在单幅图像中的像素坐标、三点间的两个距离值及平行线间距作为约束条件来完成摄像机的标定。建立了图像坐标系与世界坐标系之间新的换算关系,推导出了摄像机内外参数的求解公式,探讨了旋转角对测量误差的影响。实验结果表明,在约束条件不足的情况下能够获得较好的摄像机参数近似解,沿道路方向上的测距精度优于对比文献的结果,具有标定参考物选取容易、操作简便、几何约束条件少等优点,适用于交通监控系统中大视场摄像机的快速标定场合。     

2D Burgers equation with large Reynolds number using POD/DEIM and calibration

Model order reduction of the two‐dimensional Burgers equation is investigated. The mathematical formulation of POD/discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM)‐reduced order model (ROM) is derived based on the Galerkin projection and DEIM from the existing high fidelity‐implicit finite‐difference full model. For validation, we numerically compared the POD ROM, POD/DEIM, and the full model in two cases of Re = 100 and Re = 1000, respectively. We found that the POD/DEIM ROM leads to a speed‐up of CPU time by a factor of O(10). The computational stability of POD/DEIM ROM is maintained by means of a careful selection of POD modes and the DEIM interpolation points. The solution of POD/DEIM in the case of Re = 1000 has an accuracy with error O(10^?3) versus O(10^?4) in the case of Re = 100 when compared with the high fidelity model. For this turbulent flow, a closure model consisting of a Tikhonov regularization is carried out in order to recover the missing information and is developed to account for the small‐scale dissipation effect of the truncated POD modes. It is shown that the computational results of this calibrated ROM exhibit considerable agreement with the high fidelity model, which implies the efficiency of the closure model used.
