The difficulty of precipitating germanium in dilute aluminum-germanium alloys is due to a large difference in crystal structures (face-centered cubic and diamond cubic) accompanied by a substantial volume expansion of 36%. A great variety of precipitate morphologies and orientation relationships are observed. A frequently found morphology is that of <100> needles. By selected area diffraction and Moire fringes it has been established that <100> Al and <110> Ge are parallel along the needle axis. The typical aspect ratio of about 100 has made it difficult in the past to investigate the cross-sectional shape and internal structure of these needles, although some indications of internal twinning were found in plates. in the present work, the Berkeley Atomic Resolution Microscope was used to examine needles in cross section by imaging along the <110> Ge <100> Al needle axis.

Interest has recently increased in the possibility of growing III-V compounds epitactically on non-polar substrates to produce device quality material. Antiphase boundaries (APBs) may then develop in the GaAs epilayer because it has sphalerite structure (face-centered cubic with a two-atom basis). This planar defect may then influence the electrical behavior of the GaAs epilayer. The orientation of APBs and their propagation into GaAs epilayers have been investigated experimentally using both flat-on and cross-section transmission electron microscope techniques. APBs parallel to (110) plane have been viewed at the atomic resolution and compared to simulated images.Antiphase boundaries were observed in GaAs epilayers grown on (001) Ge substrates. In the image shown in Fig.1, which was obtained from a flat-on sample, the (110) APB planes can be seen end-on; the faceted APB is visible because of the stacking fault-like fringes arising from a lattice translation at this interface.

Abstract We present a method for 3D measurement of fiber cross sectional morphology from handsheets. An automated procedure is used to acquire 3D datasets of fiber cross sectional images using an automated microtome and light microscopy. The fiber cross section geometry is extracted using digital image analysis. Simple sample preparation and highly automated image acquisition and image analysis are providing an efficient tool to analyze large samples. It is demonstrated that if fibers are tilted towards the image plane the images of fiber cross sections are always larger than the true fiber cross section geometry. In our analysis the tilting angles of the fibers to the image plane are measured. The resulting fiber cross sectional images are distorted to compensate the error due to fiber tilt, restoring the true fiber cross sectional shape. We use an approximated correction, the paper provides error estimates of the approximation. Measurement results for fiber wall thickness, fiber coarseness and fiber collapse are presented for one hardwood and one softwood pulp.

A new approach is presented for calculating the parent orientation from sets of variants of orientations produced by phase transformation. The parent austenite orientation is determined using the orientations of bainite variants that transformed from a single parent austenite grain. In this approach, the five known orientation relationships are used to back transform each observed bainite variant to all their potential face-centered-cubic (f.c.c.) parent orientations. A set of potential f.c.c. orientations has one representative from each bainite variant, and each set is assembled on the basis of minimum mutual misorientation. The set of back-transformed orientations with the minimum summation of mutual misorientation angle (SMMA) is selected as the most probable parent (austenite) orientation. The availability of multiple sets permits a confidence index to be calculated from the best and next best fits to a parent orientation. The results show good agreement between the measured parent austenite orientation and the calculated parent orientation having minimum SMMA.

The article considers the problem of optimizing the geometric parameters of the cross section of the belts of a trihedral lattice support in the shape of a pentagon. The axial moment of inertia is taken as the objective function. Relations are found between the dimensions of the pentagonal cross section at which the objective function takes the maximum value. We introduce restrictions on the constancy of the consumption of material, as well as the condition of equal stability. The solution is performed using nonlinear optimization methods in the Matlab environment.

Purpose This paper aims to develop a numerical model of bead spreading architecture of a viscous polymer in fused filament fabrication (FFF) process with different nozzle geometry. This paper also focuses on the manufacturing feasibility of the nozzles and 3D printing of the molten beads using the developed nozzles. Design/methodology/approach The flow of a highly viscous polymer from a nozzle, the melt expansion in free space and the deposition of the melt on a moving platform are captured using the FLUENT volume of fluid (VOF) method based computational fluid dynamics code. The free surface motion of the material is captured in VOF, which is governed by the hydrodynamics of the two-phase flow. The phases involved in the numerical model are liquid polymer and air. A laminar, non-Newtonian and non-isothermal flow is assumed. Under such assumptions, the spreading characteristic of the polymer is simulated with different nozzle-exit geometries. The governing equations are solved on a regular stationary grid following a transient algorithm, where the boundary between the polymer and the air is tracked by piecewise linear interface construction (PLIC) to reconstruct the free surface. The prototype nozzles were also manufactured, and the deposition of the molten beads on a flatbed was performed using a commercial 3D printer. The deposited bead cross-sections were examined through optical microscopic examination, and the cross-sectional profiles were compared with those obtained in the numerical simulations. Findings The numerical model successfully predicted the spreading characteristics and the cross-sectional shape of the extruded bead. The cross-sectional shape of the bead varied from elliptical (with circular nozzle) to trapezoidal (with square and star nozzles) where the top and bottom surfaces are significantly flattened (which is desirable to reduce the void spaces in the cross-section). The numerical model yielded a good approximation of the bead cross-section, capturing most of the geometric features of the bead with a reasonable qualitative agreement compared to the experiment. The quantitative comparison of the cross-sectional profiles against experimental observation also indicated a favorable agreement. The significant improvement observed in the bead cross-section with the square and star nozzles is the flattening of the surfaces. Originality/value The developed numerical algorithm attempts to address the fundamental challenge of voids and bonding in the FFF process. It presents a new approach to increase the inter-bead bonding and reduce the inter-bead voids in 3D printing of polymers by modifying the bead cross-sectional shape through the modification of nozzle exit-geometry. The change in bead cross-sectional shape from elliptical (circular) to trapezoidal (square and star) cross-section is supposed to increase the contact surface area and inter-bead bonding while in contact with adjacent beads.

A mechanism is proposed for the nucleus formation at the mutual transformation of austenite and cementite crystals. The mechanism is founded on the interpretation of the considered structures as crystallographic tiling onto non-intersecting rods of triangulated polyhedra. A 15-vertex fragment of this linear substructure of austenite (cementite) can be transformed by diagonal flipping in a rhombus consisting of two adjacent triangular faces into a 15-vertex fragment of cementite (austenite). In the case of the mutual austenite–cementite transformation, the mutual orientation of the initial and final fragments coincides with the Thomson–Howell orientation relationships which are experimentally observed [Thompson & Howell (1988). Scr. Metall. 22, 229–233] in steels. The observed orientation relationship between f.c.c. austenite and cementite is determined by a crystallographic group–subgroup relationship between transformation participants and noncrystallographic symmetry which determines the transformation of triangulated clusters of transformation participants. Sequential fulfillment of diagonal flipping in the 15-vertex fragments of linear substructure (these fragments are equivalent by translation) ensures the austenite–cementite transformation in the whole infinite crystal. The energy barrier for diagonal flipping in the rhombus with iron atoms in its vertices has been calculated using the Morse interatomic potential and is found to be equal to 162 kJ mol−1 at the face-centered cubic–body-centered cubic transformation temperature in iron.

The cross-sectional shape of a linear guideway has been processed before the straightening process. The cross-section features influence not only the position of the neutral axis, but also the applied and residual stresses along the longitudinal direction, especially in a multi-step straightening process. This paper aims to present an analytical model based on elasto-plastic theory and three-point reverse bending theory to predict straightening stroke and longitudinal stress distribution during the multi-step straightening process of linear guideways. The deviation of the neutral axis is first analyzed considering the asymmetrical features of the cross-section. Owing to the cyclic loading during the multi-step straightening process, the longitudinal stress curves are then calculated using the linear superposition of stresses. Based on the cross-section features and the superposition of stresses, the bending moment is corrected to improve the predictive accuracy of the multi-step straightening process. Finite element analysis, as well as straightening experiments, have been performed to verify the applicability of the analytical model. The proposed approach can be implemented in the multi-step straightening process of linear guideways with similar cross-sectional shape to improve the straightening accuracy.

Settling Rates

The rates of erythrocyte settling have been investigated in round and square cross-section tubes, vertically; and at nine different angles; and with the square tubes flat and on edge, to a minimum of 15° from the horizontal. Apparent settling rates increased as the angle from the horizontal decreased. Real settling rates (vertical settling rates) increased sharply on decreasing the angle from the horizontal, to a maximum at about 60°, and then decreased less abruptly for the shallower angles. The cross-sectional shape of the tube did not significantly affect the settling rates of erythrocytes. Settling in inclined tubes proceeds fast enough to permit clinical erythrocyte settling rate (E.S.R.) tests to be carried out in 10 min in place of the usual 60 min. If the standard E.S.R. test rack deviates as little as 5° from the vertical it can cause the observed settling rates to double relative to readings obtained on a vertical rack.
