However, it has been reported to be susceptible to corrosion when exposed to various soil conditions. Cathodic protection (CP) is the most promising and already implemented technique for protecting buried carbon steel from corrosion. This study aims at reviewing the soil properties influencing the carbon steel corrosion process in the presence and absence of CP thus also giving the effectiveness of CP. The literature review carried out in this work has identified voltammetry as the only method for monitoring and estimating carbon steel residual corrosion rate under various soil conditions. The voltammetry was found to be a very reliable method that can be used to evaluate the CP effectiveness under soil conditions. However, more experimental tests have been proposed to extend the knowledge on all soil processes taking place during carbon steel corrosion in the presence of CP. Among other soil processes referred to for future studies are the soluble ionic species behavior in the soil which is linked to steel/soil vicinity pH, long-term exposure experiments as well as CP potential (insufficient, sufficient and overprotection potential).","PeriodicalId":354924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th International Conference on Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies (ICMIMT)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126921516","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 degradation behavior of LDPE/GNP was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), while the melting temperature (Tm), recrystallization temperature (Tc) and crystallinity (Xc) of polymer composite were analyzed by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results exhibited that Tc decreased by the incorporation of GNP as compared to the pure LDPE. Degree of crystallinity of LDPE/GNP composites was observed to be lower than the pure LDPE. However, the thermal stability of LDPE was slightly increased with the increased loadings of GNP.

Therefore, numerical modeling is adopted to investigate the whole process. The constitutive model and material parameters of the copper liner are verified by simulating the experiments from the literature. Then the formation and penetration of the EFP are simulated using the fluid-solid coupling method, and the numerical results agree well with experimental data. Besides, the effect of the shell thickness is studied. It is worth noting that the shell has a great influence on the formation shape, but little on the penetration depth.","PeriodicalId":354924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th International Conference on Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies (ICMIMT)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115574461","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 processing requirements of the voluminous and complex data sets produced by the current data explosion are outpacing the computational capacity of traditional hardware platforms and thus necessitating adoption of high performance computing architectures such as clusters, cloud computing and customisable processing hardware such as field programmable gate arrays. In particular, FPGAs offer excellent flexibility, massive parallel computational capacity and good power efficiency which can meet the high processing demands of big data applications. However, despite their excellent processing merits, FPGAs are still suffering from low adoption by designers. Standard FPGA languages and tools are difficult and exclusive to users with digital hardware design expertise. Multiple high-level languages and design flows targeted at different application domains have been developed to meet the FPGA design challenge. However, there is a lack of a standardised specification that defines clearly how a high-level FPGA design flow should be and what it should be capable of. This paper employs a system engineering approach to design and prototype an ideal high-level FPGA design Toolflow for the computational finance domain which utilises a simple standard software programming language to program the FPGA. The detailed specification of the ideal high-level FPGA Toolflow is presented and discussed. Preliminary results between a purely software design in comparison to a hardware design generated using the prototyped high-level FPGA Toolflow are presented.","PeriodicalId":354924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th International Conference on Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies (ICMIMT)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132931317","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 paper focuses on the effect of hybrid coatings of Al-Cu-Fe on a grade five titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) using laser metal deposition (LMD) process at different laser power and scanning speeds. Icosahedral Al-Cu-Fe as quasicrystals are a relatively new class of materials which exhibit unusual atomic structure and useful physical and chemical properties. Ti6Al4V/Al-Cu-Fe composite were analysed using Optical microscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive microscopy (EDS), indentation testing, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), corrosion and wear testing. deposit width and height, heat affected zone (HAZ) height), dilution rate, aspect ratio and powder efficiency of each sample remarkably increased with increasing laser power due to the laser-material interaction. It was observed that there are higher number of aluminium and titanium presented in the formation of the composite. The indentation testing reveals that for both scanning speed of 0.8m/min and 1m/min, the mean hardness value decreases with increasing laser power. It was found that due to dilution effect, a part of Ti entered into molten pool from the substrate.
