The thermodynamic parameters are calculated and the critical grain size for the stable high-temperature phase at room temperature is obtained. As an example, the critical grain size of β-Co at room temperature is determined at 35nm when the excess volume is 10%. The result agrees well with the experiment of Katakimi et al. The factors affecting the stability of β-Co are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":119807,"journal":{"name":"Science in China Series E: Technological Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127125829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The residual ratio of momentum or energy equation between two successive iterations was used as the input variable. A fuzzy logic algorithm was developed in order to obtain the relative increment of the under-relaxation factor and its new value was then used for the next iteration. The algorithm was tested by four benchmark problems. In all cases considered, when the fuzzy control logic was used, convergence was achieved with nearly the minimum number of iterations, showing the feasibility of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":119807,"journal":{"name":"Science in China Series E: Technological Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127606287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GDEA model prossesses cone structures for describing evaluators’ preferences toward different decision making units (DMU) and toward different input / output categories. The GDEA model contains many important DEA models as its subclasses. Based upon the definition, we discuss and rigorously prove the necessary and sufficient conditions for a DMU to have increasing, constant and decreasing returns to scale under a GDEA model, and discuss and clarify the differences and relationships of these conditions under different subclasses of the GDEA model. Furthermore, we describe a method based on a two-stage linear program to test returns to scale properties.","PeriodicalId":119807,"journal":{"name":"Science in China Series E: Technological Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116462142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
