Magnesium alloys are well known for their excellent properties, but the potential issues with oxidation and burning during melting and casting largely limit its industrial applications. The addition of Ce in magnesium alloys can significantly raise ignition-proof performance and change the structure of the oxide film on the surface of the molten metal as well as the surface tension values. Surface tension is an important physical parameter of the metal melts, and it plays an important role in the formation of surface oxide film. In this present work, the ignition temperature and the surface tension of Mg-9wt.%AI alloy with different Ce concentrations were studied. Surface tensions was measured using the maximum bubble pressure method (MBPM). Ignition temperature was measured using NiCr-NiSi type thermocouples and was monitored and recorded via a WXT-604 desk recording device. The results show that the ignition point of Mg-9wt.%AI alloy can be effectively elevated by adding Ce. The ignition temperature reaches its highest point of 720 ℃ when the addition of Ce is lwt.%. The surface tension of the molten Mg-9wt.%AI alloy decreases exponentially with the increase of Ce addition at the same temperature. Similarly, the experiment also shows that the surface tension of Mg-9wt.%AI alloy decreases exponentially with the increase of temperature.

Due to a thermodynamic coupling between the two leaflets comprising a lipid bilayer, compositional lipid domains residing within opposing leaflets are often found in registry. If the system is perturbed by displacing one domain relative to the other, diffusive and advective lipid fluxes are established to restore equilibrium and reestablish domain overlap. In this work, we focus on the advective part of the process, and first derive an analytical expression for the hydrodynamic drag coefficient associated with the advective flow for the special case of perfect domain overlap. The resulting expression identifies parameter regions where sliding friction between the leaflets dominates over viscous dissipation within the leaflets or vice versa. It is shown that in all practically relevant cases, sliding friction between the leaflets is the dominant factor. Finally, we investigate the domain separation dependence of the hydrodynamic drag coefficient via direct simulations of a continuum diffuse interface model, and provide useful empirical expressions for its behavior.

The proportion of disabled people is rising and now represents 1 billion people-15% of the global population, which leads to increasingly demand for orthotic device. However, moulds for orthoses manufacturing through traditionally manual technique are often dedicated, and this causes problems such as long lead time, lack of flexibility, low-efficiency and material waste, further leading to serious financial burns and environmental pollution as well. In this paper, an innovative method is proposed to replace traditionally dedicated moulds with reconfigurable moulds utilizing screw-pins that are directly transferred to the vacuum forming of thermoplastic material at low cost for the fabrication of orthoses. In the developed system, the fast reconstruction of human body anatomy based on the 3D digital scanning, is introduced firstly, the reconfigurable mould utilizing screw-pins is then generated and machined based on the reconstructed human body anatomy. After this, vacuum forming is performed on the reconfigurable mould, which could be reused for different anatomical shape variations by adjusting screw-pins. Additionally, an intelligent database is developed and a lot of reconstructed anatomies, the best practices of experienced orthotists, optimal parameters for 3D digital scanning, reconfigurable mould generation and machining and vacuum forming are stored, which will allow rapid recall of the stored information to reduce too much man-machine interaction and expertise dramatically.

The present study determined the crystallographic orientation of the cleavage plane in a low-carbon martensitic steel by two different methods using electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) orientation analysis and three-dimensional imaging technique. One is the direct measurement of the cleavage plane by EBSD after tilting the specimen in SEM based on the line profiles of the 3D fracture surface image. The other is the trace analysis on EBSD orientation maps just beneath the fracture surface and the line profiles of the 3D fracture surface image. The both two methods demonstrated that cleavage fracture occurred on {001} planes in martensitic steel.

This study investigated the change in microstructure and mechanical properties by tempering a low carbon dual phase steel composed of ferrite and martensite. The microstructure analysis revealed that tempering process resulted in the carbide precipitation and coarsening of martensite structures. The nanohardness of each phase (martensite and ferrite) decreased with increasing the tempering temperature. The ultimate tensile strength had a linear relationship with nanohardness ratio of martensite and ferrite. On the other hand, the uniform elongation firstly did not change by tempering at the temperature below 400 °C, but then decreased by tempering at the temperature above 400 °C with decreasing the nanohardness ratio. It was concluded that the nanohardness ratio can be a good parameter for controlling the mechanical properties of dual phase steels.

engineering research may provide tools to the individual as well as to the public in general, to effectively monitor welness and health patterns, such as metabolic rate and weight control. Ketone bodies and acetone gas emissions in exhaled breath and skin, in particular, may be used as biomarkers of fatty acid metabolism and may be used in diet control. Two types of technologies, resistive chemosensors and chemomechanical actuators are outlined here as examples of such tools currently under development and of great promise.

In this paper, AA2024-T3 and AA7075-T6 aluminum alloy sheets were friction stir lap welded successfully. The influences of welding conditions including traveling speed, rotational speed, weld pitch(the ratio of traveling speed to rotational speed) and lapping sequence(either alloy is located as the upper sheet) on lap joint strength were investigated. It was found that the joint strength increases with the increase of traveling speed and weld pitch, decreases with the increase of rotational speed. The highest joint strength is obtained at the weld pitch of 0.20. 7075/2024 joints(7075 acts as the upper sheet) show higher failure load than 2024/7075 joints(2024 acts as the upper sheet) at lower traveling speeds while the opposite result appears at higher traveling speeds. The lap joints fracture in three modes: tensile mode of fracturing at the upper sheet on advancing side, shear mode of fracturing from lap interfaces of both sheets and the mix mode of the above. With the increase of traveling speed, the joints fracture in tensile mode, mix mode and shear mode in sequence.
