Aperiodicity And Primitive Ideals Of Row-Finite K-Graphs, Sooran Kang, David Pask Jan 2014

Aperiodicity And Primitive Ideals Of Row-Finite K-Graphs, Sooran Kang, David Pask

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

We describe the primitive ideal space of the C*-algebra of a row-finite k-graph with no sources when every ideal is gauge invariant. We characterize which spectral spaces can occur, and compute the primitive ideal space of two examples. In order to do this we prove some new results on aperiodicity. Our computations indicate that when every ideal is gauge invariant, the primitive ideal space only depends on the 1-skeleton of the k-graph in question. 2014 World Scientific Publishing Company.

Finite Element Method Analysis Of Micro Cross Wedge Rolling Of Metals, Zhengyi Jiang, Haina Lu, Dongbin Wei, Kezhi Linghu, Xianming Zhao, Xiaoming Zhang, Di Wu

A newly developed manufacturing technology - micro cross wedge rolling technology is an appropriate method to produce micro axisymmetric components such as micro stepped shafts. The development of this classic cold forming process is limited by a lack of sufficient understanding of geometric and material effects due to the size reduction of the components. In this study, a numerical model is proposed to simulate micro cross wedge rolling where the grain size effect is taken into account. Pure copper is chosen as the raw material. A finite element simulation is implemented where the diameter of the cylindrical workpiece is 0.8 …

A Study Of Plastic Deformation Behavior During High Pressure Torsion Process By Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Simulation, Peitang Wei, Cheng Lu, A K. Tieu, Guanyu Deng

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

High pressure torsion (HPT) is an efficient technique of producing ultrafine grained materials with exceptional small grain size. In this study, a crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) model has been developed to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of pure aluminum single crystal during the HPT process. The simulation results show that, the distribution and evolution of the macroscopic plastic strain and the accumulative shear strain are similar. The value increases with the increase of the distance from the center as well as the number of revolution. The simulation is capable of reflecting the anisotropic characteristics of HPT deformation, a …


The Primitive Ideals Of The Cuntz-Krieger Algebra Of A Row-Finite Higher-Rank Graph With No Sources, Toke Meier Carlsen, Sooran Kang, Jacob Shotwell, Aidan Sims Jan 2014

The Primitive Ideals Of The Cuntz-Krieger Algebra Of A Row-Finite Higher-Rank Graph With No Sources, Toke Meier Carlsen, Sooran Kang, Jacob Shotwell, Aidan Sims

We catalogue the primitive ideals of the Cuntz–Krieger algebra of a row-finite higher-rank graph with no sources. Each maximal tail in the vertex set has an abelian periodicity group of finite rank at most that of the graph; the primitive ideals in the Cuntz–Krieger algebra are indexed by pairs consisting of a maximal tail and a character of its periodicity group. The Cuntz–Krieger algebra is primitive if and only if the whole vertex set is a maximal tail and the graph is aperiodic.
