AbstractA study has been undertaken to investigate the mechanism of cambering and valley bulging. Previously proposed primary mechanisms are critically reviewed and discussed. The primary mechanism proposed here is that of frost heave and creep of valley slopes, enhanced by slope erosion and cap rock load during a period of periglaciation, partly at the onset of the cold period but predominantly whilst the ground was in frozen and thawing states. The mechanism is supported by experimental study, a mathematical model and field evidence.

The article is devoted to the description of the experimental research method when developing a mathematical model for calculating the cutting speed based on information from the cutting zone obtained during the test run in the process of turning using steel coated tools as an example. This paper also presents the results of an experimental study which prove the effectiveness of applying the obtained mathematical dependence.

Forced or natural ventilation is the most common measure of frost heave protection for refrigerated warehouse floor. To optimize air velocity for the underfloor forced ventilation system of refrigerated warehouse, a steady state three-dimensional mathematical model of heat transfer is set up in this paper. The temperature fields of this system are simulated and calculated by CFD software PHOENICS under different air velocity, 1.5m/s, 2.5m/s or 3.5m/s. The results show that the optimized air velocity is 1.5m/s when the tube spacing is 1.5m.

The lotus plumule has high medicinal value and is an important part of the lotus seed. Usually, the lotus seed must be split symmetrically into two halves through a splitting process to obtain an intact lotus plumule. However, this process is difficult to mechanize and automate, as different lotus seeds are of different sizes. In this study, a novel automatic self-adaptive splitting technology (SAST) is proposed for lotus seeds, based on a specially designed combined linkage mechanism and a roller pair centering mechanism. The technology can automatically adjust the position of the splitting point taper punch according to the size of the lotus seed and ensure that the tip of the punch is on the axis of the lotus seed. First, the centering deviation of the centering mechanism was analyzed. A mathematical model for the SAST was developed, and the key parameters were optimized using the firefly algorithm. An automatic splitting machine and a test bench were designed for centering deviation measurements, and both centering and splitting experiments were conducted. The generated maximum centering deviation of the SAST was <0.176 mm; the highest accurate splitting rates of 95% and 93.05% were achieved for unclassified and graded lotus seeds, respectively.

The characteristics and working principles of the impinging by submerged water jet are analyzed, and the relevant mathematical model is optimized based on Rajaratnam’s theoretical and experimental study. A new mathematical model is constructed by adding an important parameter called impinging angle. A new experiment is designed according to the working conditions of various impinging distances and angles. In combination with the experiment data and with the use of the curve fitting method, the functional relationship between the impinging distance and angle as well as the coefficient C4 is obtained. The experiment results show that the scour depth decreases as impinging distance increases, followed by a trend from decline to rise before falling again; those two turning points occur within the range of 20d–25d. The scour depth constantly increases with rising impinging angle, and the maximum and minimum increasing ranges can reach 180% and 50%, respectively, with the impinging angle increasing from 40° to 90°.
