Modelling Of The Evolution Of Crack Of Nanoscale In Iron, Dongbin Wei, Zhengyi Jiang, Jingtao Han
Modelling Of The Evolution Of Crack Of Nanoscale In Iron, Dongbin Wei, Zhengyi Jiang, Jingtao Han
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Metal owns the ability of self-healing to some extent, and the ability of the internal crack healing is most desirable for improving the reliability of metal. A molecular dynamics simulation has been further developed to investigate the evolution of a nanoscale crack in body centred cubic Fe crystal under the conditions of heating or compressive pressure. When system temperature drops, the evolution of the crack that was at elevated temperature has been studied for the first time. N-body potential according to the embedded atom method has been adopted. The original nanoscale crack is expressed by removing some atoms in the …

In Australia, in 2001, the Howard government released an East Coast HSR Scoping Study. This followed two major investigations by the private sector into HSR options for Australia; the first being a Sydney Canberra Melbourne Very Fast Train as proposed in 1984 by CSIRO, and the second being the Sydney Canberra Speed HSR proposal.

Direct Approach For Solving Nonlinear Evolution And Two-Point Boundary Value Problems, Jonu Lee, Rathinasamy Sakthivel
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Time-delayed nonlinear evolution equations and boundary value problems have a wide range of applications in science and engineering. In this paper, we implement the differential transform method to solve the nonlinear delay differential equation and boundary value problems. Also, we present some numerical examples including time-delayed nonlinear Burgers equation to illustrate the validity and the great potential of the differential transform method. Numerical experiments demonstrate the use and computational efficiency of the method. This method can easily be applied to many nonlinear problems and is capable of reducing the size of computational work.
Microstructure And Texture Evolution In A Twinning-Induced-Plasticity Steel During Uniaxial Tension, Ahmed A. Saleh, Elena V. Pereloma, Azdiar A. Gazder
Microstructure And Texture Evolution In A Twinning-Induced-Plasticity Steel During Uniaxial Tension, Ahmed A. Saleh, Elena V. Pereloma, Azdiar A. Gazder
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
A combination of electron back-scattering diffraction and X-ray diffraction was used to track the evolution of the microstructure and texture of a fully recrystallized Fe-24 Mn-3 Al-2 Si-1 Ni-0.06 C twinning-induced-plasticity steel during interrupted uniaxial tensile testing. Texture measurements returned the characteristic double fibre texture for face-centred cubic materials, with a relatively stronger 〈1 1 1〉 and a weaker 〈1 0 0〉 partial fibre parallel to the tensile axis. The interaction with the stable 〈1 1 1〉 oriented grains results in preferential plastic flow in the unstable 〈1 1 0〉 oriented grains. Consequently, the grains oriented along the 〈1 1 …
A Maximum Principle For Optimal Control Of Stochastic Evolution Equations, Kai Du, Qingxin Meng
A Maximum Principle For Optimal Control Of Stochastic Evolution Equations, Kai Du, Qingxin Meng
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
A general maximum principle is proved for optimal controls of abstract semilinear stochastic evolution equations. The control variable and linear unbounded operators act in both drift and diffusion terms, and the control set need not be convex. Read More: http://epubs.siam.org/doi/abs/10.1137/120882433
On The Evolution And Modelling Of Lattice Strains During The Cyclic Loading Of Twip Steel, Ahmed A. Saleh, Elena V. Pereloma, Bjorn Clausen, Donald W. Brown, Carlos N. Tome, Azdiar A. Gazder
On The Evolution And Modelling Of Lattice Strains During The Cyclic Loading Of Twip Steel, Ahmed A. Saleh, Elena V. Pereloma, Bjorn Clausen, Donald W. Brown, Carlos N. Tome, Azdiar A. Gazder
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
The evolution of lattice strains in fully annealed Fe–24Mn–3Al–2Si–1Ni–0.06C twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel is investigated via in situ neutron diffraction during cyclic (tension–compression) loading between strain limits of ±1%. The pronounced Bauschinger effect observed upon load reversal is accounted for by a combination of the intergranular residual stresses and the intragranular sources of back stress, such as dislocation pile-ups at the intersection of stacking faults. The recently modified elasto-plastic self-consistent (EPSC) model which empirically accounts for both intergranular and intragranular back stresses has been successfully used to simulate the macroscopic stress–strain response and the evolution of the lattice strains. The …
A Novel Approach To Investigate Surface Roughness Evolution In Asymmetric Rolling Based On Three Dimensional Real Surface, H Xie, K Manabe, Z Y. Jiang
A Novel Approach To Investigate Surface Roughness Evolution In Asymmetric Rolling Based On Three Dimensional Real Surface, H Xie, K Manabe, Z Y. Jiang
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Surface roughness affects the friction behaviour, stress distribution and surface quality; moreover this influence is more significant when scaling down the strip size. A novel approach has been proposed to investigate the surface roughness in asymmetric rolling based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Evolution of asperity flattening, contact area ratio and surface roughness is investigated under various simulation rolling conditions. The model reviewed numerical solutions for real surfaces with asperities of arbitrary shape and varying size and height distributions. The rolling characterization has also been identified for asymmetric rolling. The difference of change in surface roughness for upper and lower …
