A TEM study on the microstructure of spark plasma sintered ZrB_2-based composite with nano-sized SiC dopant

Sintering behavior of ZrB_2 ceramic with nano-sized SiC dopant was studied. ZrB_2-25 vol% nano-sized SiC was selected as the starting mixture to fabricate the composite. The manufacturing process was accomplished at 1800℃ for 5 min under 25 MPa via spark plasma sintering(SPS). The as-sintered sample reached a relative density of 99%. Besides the initial phases, namely ZrB_2 and SiC, the high-resolution X-ray diffraction(HRXRD) was used to study the formation of an in-situ ZrC phase. The possible chemical interactions during the ZrC phase formation were scrutinized. The microstructure of the composite was studied by the field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Elemental analysis through FESEM evaluations revealed the formation of amorphous phases, rich in Zr, C, Si, B, and O elements, which was in harmony with the thermodynamical assessments. TEM studies endorsed the formation of such phases, containing a glassy bed of Si–B–O with ZrC and C islands dispersed therein.     

三轴压缩与干湿循环作用下灰岩的力学试验研究

南京地铁6号线万寿村站至燕尧路站区间深部主要为灰岩,盾构隧洞贯通后,深部岩体对隧洞维护起至关重要的作用,为了对该地铁深部稳定性提供理论指导,利用MTS815试验机对灰岩在经历干湿循环后进行了常规三轴压缩试验,研究了灰岩在不同次数干湿循环作用下和不同围压下的力学特性,结果表明:(1)受干湿循环作用前后试件的应力—应变曲线较为一致,均经历了较为明显的孔隙微裂隙压密阶段、较长的线弹性阶段、不太明显的屈服阶段和峰后阶段共4个阶段;(2)相同干湿循环次数后的灰岩试件,随着围压的增大,试件的峰值强度和弹性模量逐渐增大,弹性模量增幅不明显.在10次干湿循环后,试件的峰值强度的劣化最高达19.26％.干湿循环次数的增加会使灰岩的弹性模量减小,在10次干湿循环以内减幅较小;(3)围压为0时,试件的破裂模式为拉伸破坏,扩容现象明显;围压为2和4 MPa时,试件主要体现为剪切破坏.相同围压下,破裂模式属于剪切型破坏,随着干湿循环次数的增加,剪切破裂面倾斜度逐渐增大,剪切破坏愈加明显.     

An Economic Model-Based Matching Approach Between Buyers and Sellers Through a Broker in an Open E-Marketplace

A broker in an open e-marketplace enables buyers and sellers to do business with each other. Although a broker plays an important role in e-marketplaces, theory and guidelines for matching between buyers and sellers in multi-attribute exchanges are limited. Therefore, a challenge for a broker’s responsibility is how to maximize a buyer’s total satisfaction degree as its goals under the consideration of trade-off between a buyer’s buying quantity and price paid to a seller, and other attributes. To solve this challenge, this paper proposes an economic model-based matching approach between a buyer’s requirements and a seller’s offers. The major contributions of this paper are that (i) a broker can model a seller’s price policy as per a buyer’s buying quantity through communication between a broker and a seller; (ii) due to each buyer’s different quantity demand, a broker models a buyer’s satisfaction degree as per a buyer’s buying quantity based on communication between a broker and a buyer; and (iii) to carry out a broker’s matching processes, an objective function and a set of constraints are generated to help a broker to maximize a buyer’s total satisfaction degree. Experimental results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed approach.     

承重型横孔连锁混凝土砌块砌体的抗剪性能

为研究承重型横孔连锁混凝土砌块砌体的抗剪性能,采用3种块型的砌块制作了砌体抗剪试件.每种块型的砌块试件均以3种砂浆强度为变量.首先对试件进行了静力剪切加载试验,观察试验现象,记录剪切破坏荷载.然后分析了影响砌体抗剪强度的主要因素,并和其他混凝土砌块砌体抗剪强度的试验结果以及规范计算值进行了对比.最后提出了考虑有效黏结面积计算混凝土砌块砌体抗剪强度的方法.研究结果表明:承重型横孔连锁混凝土砌块砌体的剪切破坏均为砂浆与混凝土砌块接触面的黏结剪切破坏.计算砌体抗剪强度时,应采用砂浆与砌块接触面的有效黏结面积;在此基础上,提出了承重型横孔连锁混凝土砌块砌体抗剪强度的计算方法,该方法不但可以准确计算该砌块砌体的抗剪强度,而且可以计算其他类型混凝土砌块砌体基于黏结剪切破坏的抗剪强度.     

AM60B镁合金微弧氧化膜的电化学腐蚀行为

在硅酸盐体系中对AM60B镁合金进行微弧氧化处理,采用循环伏安(CV)法、Tafel极化曲线和电化学阻抗谱(EIS)研究膜层在3.5% NaCl介质中的电化学腐蚀行为.结果表明:AM60B镁合金经微弧氧化处理后,膜层耐蚀性得以显著提高.相比低电压下的膜层,高电压下获得膜层微孔略大,但微孔数量明显较少,厚度显著增加,这使得膜层在整个腐蚀过程中呈现了极强的电阻性和优异的耐蚀能力,甚至测试结束时腐蚀介质仍未渗透至膜基面,而低电压下处理得到的膜层,腐蚀介质已渗透至膜基面且侵蚀了基体.     

贮藏时间对武夷岩茶金锁匙生化成分及感官品质的影响

以轻火、中火武夷岩茶金锁匙为实验材料,研究不同贮藏时间对其生化成分及感官品质的影响,为武夷岩茶的科学品饮、储藏、运输、营养保持等提供理论参考。结果表明:贮藏过程中轻火、中火金锁匙茶多酚、儿茶素、咖啡碱、水浸出物含量(生化成分与干物质质量比)均呈下降趋势,水分含量呈上升趋势,氨基酸含量呈先增加后减少的趋势。贮藏12个月轻火、中火金锁匙茶多酚、儿茶素、酯型儿茶素、非酯型儿茶素、咖啡碱含量分别降低21.03%、19.48%；21.87%、17.24%；30.58%、26.76%；10.25%、6.45%；17.60%、13.36%。轻火金锁匙贮藏6个月氨基酸含量最高,达2.32%；中火金锁匙贮藏8个月氨基酸含量最高,达2.25%。贮藏前期,轻火、中火金锁匙火气逐渐退去,感官品质得到提升；贮藏后期,其滋味变得更加甘醇,但香气鲜锐度略有下降,因此感官品质得分先增加后略有降低。轻火金锁匙贮藏6个月感官品质得分最高,中火金锁匙贮藏8个月感官品质得分最高。研究结果表明,合理贮藏有利于提高武夷岩茶的感官品质。

为研究莱芜盆地构造演化特征及其对水文地质特征的影响,利用平衡剖面原理结合资料分析对莱芜盆地伸展速率、主要断裂活动速率进行计算,恢复了盆地构造演化史。利用96口钻孔及饮水井调查数据,将盆地岩溶水系统模式划分为"顺置式"和"逆置式"两种,并从构造位置、含水岩组类型、岩溶地下水补排条件及水化学性质对比分析其特征;结合野外地质调查,研究了枣园、吴小庄-双泉村2处受燕山期岩浆侵入影响形成的岩溶地下水富集带的水文地质特征;钻探结果,盆地部分地区古近系地层发育半固结砂砾岩,含水岩组兼具孔隙水及裂隙水特征,富水性好。     

电压对纯镁微弧氧化膜层电化学腐蚀行为的影响

采用循环伏安(CV)、动电位极化(Tafel)和电化学阻抗谱(EIS)技术、结合纯镁微弧氧化膜微观形貌,研究电压对膜层电化学腐蚀行为的影响.结果表明:电压对膜层耐蚀性影响显著,随着电压升高,膜层耐蚀性增强,这是因为较厚的膜层厚度为抵御腐蚀介质的侵蚀提供了良好的物理屏障.在整个腐蚀试验过程中,高电压下制备的膜层经历三个阶段:腐蚀介质逐渐渗入膜层,腐蚀介质渗透膜层到达膜基面侵蚀基体,腐蚀产物填充微孔和微裂纹等缺陷.相比而言,低电压下制备的膜层随着浸泡时间的延长,膜层外部疏松层和内部致密层的电阻均逐渐减小,致使耐蚀性降低,最终膜层完全失效.     

Modeling Default Dependence with the Mixture of Calendar Time and Business Time

Evaluating default correlation between securities in a portfolio is very important for credit derivatives pricing and risk management. Under the framework of the structural model proposed by Black and Cox, we assume that the asset values of companies are driven by Brownian motions in the worlds of the calendar time and the business time; they then could evolve continuously or by leap. We build the dynamic default correlations using the time-varying correlated Brownian motions in these processes. The sensitivity of default correlations to the key parameters is explored in the paper by numerical examples, and we apply the model to risk management as well. Because default times are unpredictable in the proposed model, the defaults might occur suddenly. Independent defaults and complete correlated defaults can be described in the model as well.
