In this work, Mo and SS304 have been jointed with Ni interlayer by using a diffusion bonding technique at different bonding temperatures. The results show that a MoNi brittle intermetallic compound is easy to form in the interface of the Mo/SS304 joint with increasing the bonding temperature, which will reduce the shear strength of the joint because a crack is easy to form between Mo and the intermetallic compounds. Meanwhile, Mo/SS304 joints have also been prepared by using Ni<sub>x</sub>Cu<sub>1-x</sub> (x=0.45, 0.24, or 0) as an interlayer. The result shows that reducing Ni content can avoid the formation of intermetallic compounds, and the fracture occurs between the interlayer and Mo diffusion zone far away from the Mo side. This work shows that the fracture properties of the Mo/SS304 joint can be modified by changing the composition of the interlayer. The best shear strength of the Mo/SS304 joint is 140 MPa. This work is important for providing an effective approach to join Mo and SS304 using a low-temperature diffusion bonding method.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90240213","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}

An accurate calculation equivalent model for DFIG short-circuit current is proposed. With the RTDS, an experiment platform with physical controller of converter is founded, the proposed model is validated.

The results show that by lifting the Fermi energy of graphene, the absorption, particularly at higher frequencies, is significantly enhanced, resulting in a broader absorption bandwidth. By raising the temperature of strontium titanate, the center absorption frequency shifts to higher frequency and the bandwidth increases. At a Fermi energy of 1 eV and temperature of 400 K, the device exhibits an ultra-broad bandwidth of 3.36 THz and remarkable peak absorption exceeding 99%. Moreover, the absorber is insensitive to incident angles, maintaining a stable broad-bandwidth beyond 3.3 THz within a large incident angle of 55° and 50° for TE and TM polarizations, respectively. The physical mechanisms are elucidated by the impedance matching theory and electric field analyses.

The model provided the locations within the microstructure of high hydrogen content, above that required for saturation, hence predicting the anticipated locations of hydride observations in the experiments. The strain rate sensitivity of this alloy over the temperature range considered led to considerable intragranular slip and corresponding stress redistribution, and cyclic strain ratcheting leading to high hydrostatic stresses and in turn hydrogen concentrations, which explains the locations of experimentally observed hydride formation. The interstitial hydrogen interaction energy as well as the intragranular geometrically necessary dislocation density were shown to be important in controlling the spatial distributions of observed hydrides.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79897502","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 same applies to metallic glasses (MGs), with the important difference that these glasses can exhibit certain plastic strain prior to catas- trophic failure. Here we consider the strongest metallic alloy known, a ternary Co 55 Ta 10 B 35 MG. We show that this macroscopically brittle glass is flaw-insensitive at the micrometer scale. This discovery emerges when testing pre-cracked specimens with self-similar geometries, where the fracture stress does not de- crease with increasing pre-crack size. The fracture toughness of this ultra-strong glassy alloy is further shown to increase with increasing sample size. Both these findings deviate from our classical under- standing of fracture mechanics, and are attributed to a transition from toughness-controlled to strength- controlled fracture below a critical sample size.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84246039","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}

These modern building envelopes interact with the external environment and are designed to respond to occupant demand, achieving the target energy efficiency and comfort needs. In these kinetic façades, shape morphing triggered by buckling is targeted for energy-saving structural applications. Among the structural forms that are suitable for such applications are thin plates, which are prone to buckling under small in-plane strains. This study presents a novel concept with application in shading control modules. In the proposed models, buckling of slender plates are configured to create a bistable mechanism with closed and open states. The proposed mechanism is simulated using finite element software to validate the feasibility of the core concept and to evaluate buckling as a reliable mechanism in kinetic façade control modules.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91461416","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}

One of the most problematic areas in work is the selection of the required grinding modes, material and grinding wheel grain size.<br><br>In the course of the experiment, we used samples of VT8 titanium alloy and 12Х18N9T steel, on which the grinding process was studied with wheels made of various materials (electrocorundum, cubic boron nitride (CBN), diamond). The values of the cutting forces Py and Pz were obtained in the latitude of permissible modes, which are most often used in circular and flat grinding, and can reach maximum values, respectively, Py=27 N, Pz=15.5 N. The data were obtained at a low wheel speed from electrocorundum, about 15 m/s and grain size 8. By reducing the grain size of the wheel, we get the effect of increasing the energy consumption of the grinding process, due to the increase in the values of the cutting forces. If we compare the cutting forces arising from grinding with different wheels, then the following can be noted. Compared to electrocorundum wheels, when using CBN wheels, the cutting forces are reduced by 20–25 %, and when grinding with diamond wheels (despite the high wear of the diamond wheel), the effect of cutting forces is reduced by 25–30 %. This is due to the fact that cutting conditions are the most favorable for diamond and CBN grains, which makes it possible to use more intense cutting conditions.<br><br>The results of the study allow predicting the performance of the grinding wheel, reducing the energy consumption of production, and also adjusting the processing mode of the part to obtain the necessary quality indicators of the surface layer and the geometric dimensions of the part.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75077993","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}

This reduces the number of iterations to obtain convergence and allows very large steps in incremental analyses. The computational cost of each iteration is the same as the original Newton method.
