The Social Network Analysis of Techno-Economic Systems:Comparing Results Based on Binary and Weighted Networks

The network analysis of a technological system combines the interindustry transactions with a matrix of sectoral innovative efforts as measured by R&D investment intensity.The matrixes of interindustry transactions of R&D-embodied products(innovations)are weighted matrixes where the interindustry flows measure the intensity of the innovation diffusion.In the past,studies using this approach in innovation studies have transformed weighted matrixes into binary matrixes of zero and one element where the flows less than a selected threshold value were considered to be zero and the flows greater than the threshold value were counted as one.Such matrix transformation leads to the loss of a great deal of information.In the present study,using degree and clustering coefficients for both binary direct as well as weighted direct techno-economic networks of the manufacturing sector of the German economy,we show that the binary directed network analysis is incapable of refined ranking of interindustry innovation transactions.The total degree index based on the weighted network of the German techno-economic system assigns a unique ranking to each sector,and clustering coefficients show that at least 75%of sectors in the network of Germany have two links with the other industries.However,the same indices based on the binary network are incapable of such refined ranking.     

Displacement Discontinuity Method in 3D Problems of Fracture Mechanics

The present paper suggests a modification of boundary elements numerical method, which uses displacement discontinuity method in 3D space. The current method can effectively decrease the computational elements number in 3D space because final elements are placed only on the surface of a fracture simulating the discontinuity of elastic medium. Thus the dimension of the problem is decreased. The new fundamental solutions were developed based on double layer potentials. The method proved to be effective for hydraulic fractures modeling and their interaction with natural faults in host rock formations.     

Effect of Electromagnetic Fields and Explosions on Seismicity and Geodynamic Consequences

The change in seismicity of the Garm region in Tajikistan after an irradiation of its crust with high energy electromagnetic pulses (EP) and after the Semipalatinsk nuclear explosions (NE) is considered. It’s shown that the influence of EP, as well as NE, causes a statistically significant increase in the seismic activity and speed up the seismic energy release. Two areas of anomalous increase in seismic energy after irradiation and explosions adjoined to active faults were identified within the region. Both have a complex configuration in the form of two “petals” located in different sides of those faults. In both cases, one of the “petals” appears after EP, and the second after NE. It is shown that each of these “butterflies” constitutes as a whole anomalous area in which there are high tectonic stresses. The impact of NE has also been studied before beginning and after completion of these experiments. In both cases, those anomalous areas were not observed. Moreover after those experiments were completed, on distances of 50~70 km from the EP source no high stresses areas were observed at all. Consequently, the irradiation of the crust caused their relaxation on the area of about 3 500 km2. However,judging by the appreciable rise in seismicity caused by NE on the southwestern and southeastern margins, stresses had been increasing on periphery of the irradiated area.

Microstructural evaluation and nanohardness of an AlCoCuCrFeNiTi high-entropy alloy

An AlCoCuCrFeNiTi high-entropy alloy(HEA) was prepared by mechanical alloying and sintering to study the effect of Ti addition to the widely studied AlCoCuCrFeNi system. The structural and microstructural characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The formation of four micrometric phases was detected: a Cu-rich phase with a face-centered cubic(fcc) structure, a body-centered cubic(bcc) solid solution with Cu-rich plate-like precipitates(fcc), an ordered bcc phase, and a tetragonal structure. The XRD patterns corroborate the presence of a mixture of bcc-, fcc-, and tetragonal-structured phases. The Vickers hardness of the alloy under study was more than twice that of the AlCoCuCrFeNi alloy. Nanoindentation tests were performed to evaluate the mechanical response of the individual phases to elucidate the relationship between chemical composition, crystal structure, and mechanical performance of the multiphase microstructure of the AlCoCuCrFeNiTi HEA.     

Effects of small additions of Zn on the microstructure,mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of WE43B Mg alloys

Zn is a commonly used alloying element for Mg alloys owing to its beneficial effects on mechanical properties. To improve the mechanical and corrosion properties of WE43B Mg alloys, the effects of 0-0.7wt% Zn addition on the microstructure and properties of sample alloys were investigated. Addition of Zn to as-cast WE43B alloy promoted the formation of the Mg₁₂Nd phase; by contrast, after T6 heat treatment, the phase composition of WE43B alloys with and without Zn addition remained mostly the same. A long-period stacking ordered phase was predicted by CALPHAD calculation, but this phase was not observed in either the as-cast or heat-treated Zn-containing WE43B alloys. The optimum temperature and duration of T6 heat treatment were obtained using CALPHAD calculations and hardness measurements. Addition of Zn resulted in a slight reduction in the average grain size of the as-cast and T6 heat-treated WE43B alloys and endowed them with increased corrosion resistance with little effect on their mechanical properties.     

Effect of high anodic polarization on the passive layer properties of superduplex stainless steel friction stir welds at different chloride electrolyte pH values and temperatures

The conditions used for friction stir welding of duplex stainless steels determine the resulting mechanical and corrosion performance of the material.This study investigates the corrosion resistance of UNS S32750 and S32760 superduplex stainless steels(SDSSs)joined by friction stir welding,employing cyclic polarization,Mott–Schottky,and microscopy techniques for analysis.The microscopy images indicated the presence of a deleterious intermetallic phase after electrolytic etching of S32760,as well as decreased corrosion resistance.The presence of molybdenum in the steels promoted better passive behavior at low pH.The Mott–Schottky curves revealed p-n heterojunction behavior of the passive oxide.Images acquired after the polarization test by scanning electron microscopy showed higher passivation propensity with increases of temperature and pH.
