Some topological properties of folded Petersen graph

The k-dimensional folded Petersen graph, FP_k, is an iterative Cartesian product on the simple Petersen graph. As an essential component of folded Petersen cube, folded Petersen graph has many important properties. In this paper, we prove that the 3k-wide diameter and 3k-fault diameter of k-dimensional folded Petersen graph is either 2k+1 or 2k+2. Furthermore, we show that FP_k is interval monotone.     

To breathe or not to breathe—That is the question: An investigation of speech breathing kinematics in world class Shakespearean actors

Anteroposterior diameter changes of the rib cage and abdomen were recorded during respiratory and speaking activities in four adult subjects, three men and one woman, all of whom had extensive dramatic training and experience and were earning their livelihood as professional actors. Data were charted to solve for lung volume, and volume displacements of the rib cage and abdomen. The more vigorous and louder monologue performances by the professional actor subjects differed from other speaking and reading activities in the following parameters of lung volume, separate volumes, relative volume contributions, and the frequent use of respiratory phase transitions. Novice actor subjects' monologue performances are compared to the monologue performances of the professional actor subjects.     

Effects of dilatational phase transformation on target strength of ceramic materials

The effects of dilatational phase transformation on the target strength of ceramic materials are investigated based on Tate's model. The constitutive behavior of materials in different regions (elastic, cracked, plastic and phase transformation) are taken into account. It is found that, with a proper choice of material parameters, the dilatational phase transformation can increase effectively the target strengthR. This would be of importance in penetration-resistance design. This work is partially supported by the Excellent Youth Foundation of Harbin Institute of Technology     

About the Importance of Nanometer-Thick Intergranular Penetration in the Analysis of Liquid Metal Embrittlement

Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) of copper by liquid bismuth is investigated at 300°C. It is shown that a very rapid damage is due to the synergy between the external stress and the phenomenon of intergranular penetration (IGP). Tests of IGP, i.e. without external stress, were done at 300°C and at 600°C and have resulted in strong intergranular embrittlement due to the formation of nanometer-thick intergranular films, as measured and quantified by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The formation of these films is discussed with respect to apparently non-zero dihedral angles at 600°C. A general procedure based on mechanical testing and AES measurements, to check whether IGP has occurred or not, is outlined. This procedure can be seen as an alternative way to determine the wetting transition temperature. The presence of nanometer-thick films due to IGP is discussed with respect to the LME mechanisms.

Effects of fiber diameter and CO2 activation temperature on the pore characteristics of polyacrylonitrile based activated carbon nanofibers

The effects of fiber diameter and activation temperature on the pore characteristics of polyacrylonitrile based activated carbon nanofibers are investigated. It was found that lower fiber diameters as well as higher activation temperatures lead to a higher weight loss, specific surface area and total pore volume. The nitrogen adsorption capacity of activated carbon nanofibers is almost three times that of activated carbon fiber with a diameter of 10 µm. As far as the size of pores in activated carbon nanofibers is concerned, it is basically the micropores that dominate the scene. Moreover, tailoring the pore characteristics by adjusting the activation temperature and fiber diameter is plausible. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Minimum vertex‐diameter‐2‐critical graphs

We prove that the minimum number of edges in a vertex‐diameter‐2‐critical graph on n ≥ 23 vertices is (5n ? 17)/2 if n is odd, and is (5n/2) ? 7 if n is even. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory     

Complete characterization of almost Moore digraphs of degree three

It is well known that Moore digraphs do not exist except for trivial cases (degree 1 or diameter 1), but there are digraphs of diameter two and arbitrary degree which miss the Moore bound by one. No examples of such digraphs of diameter at least three are known, although several necessary conditions for their existence have been obtained. In this paper, we prove that digraphs of degree three and diameter k ≥ 3 which miss the Moore bound by one do not exist. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 48: 112–126, 2005

间隔靶对射流侵彻影响的数值模拟和实验研究

对某聚能装药射流侵彻靶板的过程进行了数值模拟 ,得出其碰撞点附近应力分布与传统理论相符 ,侵彻深度与实验结果及工程计算结果基本相符 ;分别对该聚能装药侵彻连续靶和间隔靶的过程进行了数值模拟 ,数值模拟结果显示间隔靶的侵彻深度明显低于连续靶的侵彻深度 ,这说明侵彻开坑阶段的能耗侵深比远大于准定常阶段。为了验证间隔靶对射流侵彻的影响 ,用另一聚能装药分别对连续靶和间隔靶进行了侵彻实验 ,并排除了炸高的影响。实验结果也表明 ,间隔靶对射流侵彻的确存在着不利影响。还结合数值模拟及实验结果对传统的侵彻公式进行了修正。
