Abstract The Congress of the United States petitioned the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences to study replacement passenger car tire rolling resistance in 2005 with funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The study was initiated to assess the potential for reduction in replacement tire rolling resistance to yield fuel savings. The time required to realize these savings is less than the time required for automotive and light truck fleet replacement. Congress recognized that other factors besides fuel savings had to be considered if the committee’s advice was to be a reasonable guide for public policy. Therefore, the study simultaneously considered the effect of potential rolling resistance reductions in replacement tires on fuel consumption, wear life, scrap tire generation, traffic safety, and consumer spending for tires and fuel. This paper summarizes the committee’s report issued in 2006. The authors, who were members of the multidisciplinary committee, also provide comments regarding technical difficulties encountered in the committee’s work and ideas for alleviating these difficulties in further studies of this kind. The authors’ comments are clearly differentiated so that these comments will not be confused with findings, conclusions, and recommendations developed by the committee and contained in its final report.

Abstract Dedekind sums occur in the transformation behavior of the logarithm of the Dedekind eta-function under substitutions from the modular group. In 1892, Dedekind showed a reciprocity relation for the Dedekind sums. Apostol generalized Dedekind sums by replacing the first Bernoulli function appearing in them by any Bernoulli functions and derived a reciprocity relation for the generalized Dedekind sums. In this paper, we consider the poly-Dedekind sums obtained from the Dedekind sums by replacing the first Bernoulli function by any type 2 poly-Bernoulli functions of arbitrary indices and prove a reciprocity relation for the poly-Dedekind sums.

In this study, the acicular ferrite transformation behavior of a Ti–Ca deoxidized low carbon steel was studied using a high-temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy (HT-LSCM). The in situ observation of the transformation behavior on the sample surface with different cooling rates was achieved by HT-LSCM. The microstructure between the surface and interior of the HT-LSCM sample was compared. The results showed that Ti–Ca oxide particles were effective sites for acicular ferrite (AF) nucleation. The start transformation temperature at grain boundaries and intragranular particles decreased with an increase in cooling rate, but the AF nucleation rate increased and the surface microstructure was more interlocked. The sample surface microstructure obtained at 3 °C/s was dominated by ferrite side plates, while the ferrite nucleating sites transferred from grain boundaries to intragranular particles when the cooling rate was 15 °C/s. Moreover, it was interesting that the microstructure and microhardness of the sample surface and interior were different. The AF dominating microstructure, obtained in the sample interior, was much finer than the sample surface, and the microhardness of the sample surface was much lower than the sample interior. The combined factors led to a coarse size of AF on the sample surface. AF formed at a higher temperature resulted in the coarse size. The available particles for AF nucleation on the sample surface were quite limited, such that hard impingement between AF plates was much weaker than that in the sample interior. In addition, the transformation stress in austenite on the sample surface could be largely released, which contributed to a coarser AF plate size. The coarse grain size, low dislocation concentration and low carbon content led to lower hardness on the sample surface.

The objective of the present article is to study the influence of TiB2 addition on the transformation behavior of yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP). A range of TZP(Y)–TiB2 composites with different zirconia starting powder grades and TiB2 phase contents (up to 50 vol%) were processed by the hot-pressing route. Thermal expansion data, as obtained by thermo-mechanical analysis were used to assess the ZrO2 phase transformation in the composites. The thermal expansion hysteresis of the transformable ceramics provides information concerning the transformation behavior in the temperature range of the martensitic transformation and the low-temperature degradation. Furthermore, the transformation behavior and susceptibility to low-temperature degradation during thermal cycling were characterized in terms of the overall amount and distribution of the yttria stabilizer, zirconia grain size, possible dissolution of TiB2 phase, and the amount of residual stress generated in the Y-TZP matrix due to the addition of titanium diboride particles. For the first time, it is demonstrated in the present work that the thermally induced phase transformation of tetragonal zirconia in the Y-TZP composites can be controlled by the intentional addition of the monoclinic zirconia particles into the 3Y-TZP matrix.

Nowadays, one of the most essential environmental issues around the world is to deal with the scrap tire problem. Tires that are used, rejected or unwanted are classified as scrap tires and need to be managed responsibly. In this paper, the scrap tires were shredded into pieces and used to mix with normal weight concrete. Extensive laboratory tests were carried out and the focus of this paper was to characterize the mechanical and permeability properties of concrete containing scrap tires. The main parameters studied were chipped tire content and size. The results showed that the scrap-tire chips without adding special bonding agents apparently showed an even distribution in the mortar and concrete matrix. The elastic modulus, compressive and tensile strengths of scrap tire concrete in general were found lower than that of the control concrete and the differences became significant when the content and size of chipped tires in the mix were increased. Besides, the coefficients of water permeability of concrete were found to increase with increase of chipped tires in the mix.
