Peritectic phase growth in directionally solidified Cu-70% Sn alloy

The growth mechanism of the peritectic η phase involving the peritectic reaction and peritectic transformation in Cu-70%Sn alloy was investigated under directional solidification. The results show that a major growth mechanism in thickening of the peritectic η-layer is not the peritectic reaction but the peritectic transformation. The transformation temperature and isothermal time play crucial roles in determining the volume fraction and the thickness of the peritectic η phase. With the increase of the temperature and isothermal time, the volume fraction of the peritectic η phase increases. The regressed data show that the relationship between the thickness of η phase (Δx) and the transformation temperature (T) meets the following equation In Δx=6.5−1673 1 / T. Additionally, there exists a relationship between the thickness of the η phase (Δx) and the isothermal time (t) at the 9 mm solidification distance below the peritectic reaction interface, Δx=0.72t ^1/2, which is consistent with the theoretical model.

Analysis and optimization of trimorph ring transducers

The Kirchoff-Love plate theory and electroelasticity theory are combined to simulate the dynamic behaviors of the trimorph ring transducers under different boundary conditions. The transducer consists of an isotropic elastic ring laminated between two identical piezoelectric rings. Their electric current response, resonant frequencies, antiresonant frequencies and electromechanical coupling coefficients (EMCCs) are theoretically formulated and studied by numerical simulation. Also, the resonant frequencies and their corresponding mode shape are simulated by the finite element modelling to verify the theoretical results. Finally, to obtain the maximum energy conversion efficiency, the dynamic EMCC is optimized by varying the proportion of piezoelectric and elastic parts. It is shown that the dynamic EMCC depends on geometric thickness and radii ratios. Optimum settings for a particular transducer to reach the maximum dynamic EMCC are found for different boundary conditions. The trimorph ring transducer for the fixed inner and free outer surfaces boundary condition has slightly lower resonant and anti-resonant frequencies, and larger EMCCs than that for the free inner and fixed outer surfaces boundary condition does.     

Gauged harmonic maps,Born‐Infeld electromagnetism,and magnetic vortices

We study maps from a 2‐surface into the standard 2‐sphere coupled with Born‐Infeld geometric electromagnetism through an Abelian gauge field. Such a formalism extends the classical harmonic map model, known as the σ‐model, governing the spin vector orientation in a ferromagnet allows us to obtain the coexistence of vortices and antivortices characterized by opposite, self‐excited, magnetic flux lines. We show that the Born‐Infeld free parameter may be used to achieve arbitrarily high local concentration of magnetic flux lines that the total minimum energy is an additive function of these quantized flux lines realized as the numbers of vortices antivortices. In the case where the underlying surface, or the domain, is compact, we obtain a necessary sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution representing a prescribed distribution of vortices antivortices. In the case where the domain is the full plane, we prove the existence of a unique solution representing an arbitrary distribution of vortices and antivortices. Furthermore, we also consider the Einstein gravitation induced by these vortices, known as cosmic strings, establish the existence of a solution representing a prescribed distribution of cosmic strings cosmic antistrings under a necessary sufficient condition that makes the underlying surface a complete surface with respect to the induced gravitational metric. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

良序套张量积的代数中的强不可约算子

设Ｈ为复的可分无限维Ｈｉｌｂｅｒｔ空间，称有界线性算子Ｔ为强不可约的，如果与Ｔ可交换的幂等算子只有０和Ｉ．王宗尧、蒋春澜、纪有清等人证明了在任何一个套的套代数中都存在大量的强不可约算子，并且找到了它们的酉轨道闭包．本文考虑有限个套的张量积的代数中强不可约算子的存在性问题。证明了：对复平面上任何一个连通完备集σ、总存在一个对角算子Ｎ和它的一个范数可以任意小的紧摄动Ｔ＝Ｘ＋Ｋ，使得Ｔ是一个强不可约算子、Ｔ在有限个良序套的张量积的代数中，并且σ（Ｔ）＝σｌｒｅ（Ｔ）＝σ（Ｎ）＝σｌｒｅ（Ｎ）＝σ进一步，文章还对具有单点谱的算子和良序套与正交补为良序套的张量积的代数进行了讨论，得到了一些结果．
