Comparisons and bounds for expected lifetimes of reliability systems

Sharp bounds on expectations of lifetimes of coherent and mixed systems composed of elements with independent and either identically or non-identically distributed lifetimes are expressed in terms of expected lifetimes of components. Similar evaluations are concluded for the respective mean residual lifetimes. In the IID case, improved inequalities dependent on a concentration parameter connected to the Gini dispersion index are obtained. The results can be used to compare systems with component lifetimes ordered in the convex ordering. In the INID case, some refined bounds are derived in terms of the expected lifetimes of series systems of smaller sizes, and the expected lifetime of single unit for the equivalent systems with IID components. The latter can be further simplified in the case of weak Schur-concavity and Schur-convexity of the system generalized domination polynomial.

Age dependence of the drag force in an aqueous foam

The drag force on a sphere moving through an aqueous foam is measured as the foam ages. After an initial period, the steady-state drag decreases with age T as T ^{−0.54±0.14}. As the mean bubble size R in the foam coarsens as T ^0.5, this implies that the drag force scales as The transient buildup of the force when the sphere starts to move is described by a single exponential approach to the steady-state drag while its relaxation when the motion stops is described by the sum of three exponential relaxations. This is as for fresh foam, but the coefficients and time constants vary systematically with age. For the most part, these quantities also show a power law scaling with T. The age dependence of the quantities determined in this study is discussed in terms of the mean bubble size.

Couple stress fluid improve rub-impact rotor-bearing system – Nonlinear dynamic analysis

This study performs a dynamic analysis of the rub-impact rotor supported by two couple stress fluid film journal bearings. The strong nonlinear couple stress fluid film force, nonlinear rub-impact force and nonlinear suspension (hard spring) are presented and coupled together in this study. The displacements in the horizontal and vertical directions are considered for various non-dimensional speed ratios. The numerical results show that the dynamic behaviors of the system vary with the dimensionless speed ratios, the dimensionless unbalance parameters and the dimensionless parameter, l^∗. Inclusive of the periodic, sub-harmonic, quasi-periodic and chaotic motions are found in this analysis. The results of this study contribute to a further understanding of the nonlinear dynamics of a rotor-bearing system considering rub-impact force existing between rotor and stator, nonlinear couple stress fluid film force and nonlinear suspension. We also prove that couple stress fluid used to be lubricant do improve dynamics of rotor-bearing system.     

A Simple Method of the Hyperfine Field Direction Estimation from the Moessbauer Experiment

A simple method is proposed for the estimation of the average hyperfine field, i.e. the magnetization direction in the foil samples from the ⁵⁷Fe Moessbauer spectra measured at three different orientations. The intensity ratios in the Moessbauer spectra of the sample perpendicular to the gamma-ray propagation direction and tilted by 45° in the longitudinal and transversal planes yield both angle coordinates of the hyperfine field direction without supposing the direction vector normalization, i.e., avoiding the necessity of line intensities corrections. The method is demonstrated by showing the influence of heat and mechanical treatments on the magnetization direction in two amorphous alloys, Fe₈₀Cr₂Bi₁₄S₄ and Fe₄₀Ni₄₀B₂₀, the latter showing a pronounced stress annealing induced magnetic anisotropy.

强流脉冲电子束作用下金属锆的微观结构与应力状态

利用强流脉冲电子束 (HCPEB) 技术对金属纯锆进行表面处理, 采用X射线衍射, 扫描电子显微镜及透射电子显微镜详细分析了辐照诱发的表层微观结构和缺陷. X射线分析结果表明, HCPEB辐照后在材料表层诱发幅值为GPa量级的压应力, 并形成{0002}, {1012}, {1120}及{1013}织构. 表层微观结构观察表明, 与其他金属材料不同, HCPEB辐照在材料表层诱发的熔坑数量极少, 多次轰击甚至几乎没有表面熔坑的形成. 此外, 在快速的加热和冷却状态下, 在表面熔化层形成大量的超细晶粒结构, 同时诱发马氏体相变和强烈的塑性变形. 1次HCPEB辐照后表层内形成的变形微结构以位错为主, 孪晶数量较少; 5 次辐照样品的位错密度迅速增高, 孪晶数量也显著增加; 10次辐照后样品中的变形微结构以变形孪晶为主, 且出现二次孪晶现象. 表层晶粒内部变形的晶体学特征不仅决定了表层的织构演化行为, 而且还起到细化晶粒的作用, 为纯锆及锆合金表面强化提供了一条有效的途径. 关键词： 强流脉冲电子束 纯锆 微观结构 应力状态     

室温生长ZnO薄膜晶体管的紫外响应特性

在室温下采用射频磁控溅射法制备了以ZnO薄膜为沟道层的薄膜晶体管(TFTs).研究表明ZnO薄膜在紫外区具有较高的吸收率,并且ZnO-TFTs对紫外光照射较为敏感.因此,进一步深入研究了ZnO-TFTs紫外光照下的输出和转移特性,结果表明,紫外光照将引起较为明显的光响应电流,且经过光照的器件在光源移除7天后,ZnO沟道层中仍能观察到残余电导现象,其原因可以归结为紫外光辐射在ZnO沟道层中引入了一定数量的氧空位施主态缺陷.     

Nematic and Cholesteric PDLC Elaborated under Shear Stress

Abstract

The properties of nematic and cholesteric Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) with ellipsoidal droplets are reported. The shape of the droplets are modified by a shear stress during the preparation. Different values of the shear stress were used which permit an ellipticity ratio modification by a factor 10. The electro-optical properties are measured for different types of samples and compared with theoretical previsions: transmission or reflection under voltage, threshold voltage, response times. We also describe the preparation of the sample, the experimental apparatus used for the shear stress, and the expected theoretical quantities like response times. When the liquid crystals are nematics, we obtain an increase of the threshold voltages, as predicted. The relaxation time decreases with increasing deformation but the diminution is not as great as predicted. When the liquid crystals are cholesterics, the high deformations induce polygonal fields, which strongly modify the electro-optical properties of the micro-composite. The threshold voltages and response time at applied voltage decrease whereas the relaxation time is increasing.
