Total steel media wear in a given mill (ball or SAG) grinding process is a product of three recognized wear mechanisms-impact, abrasion, and corrosion of which the contribution of each wear mechanism to total media wear has not been well established. A total media wear model can be defined on the assumption that the effect of each wear mechanism can be independently determined and this effect can be tied to mill charge motion as determined or estimated using a charge motion simulator, which allows for a total media wear model to be defined as the summation of the wear results of each mechanism. This necessitates the need for developing impact, abrasion and corrosion wear testers that will allow the study of media wear over a wide range of energy levels. Refinement of the impact test will allow studying how impact media wear at high energies behaves as a function of those energies. This work is focused on design and development of a high-energy impact wear tester. A comprehensive illustration on designing the newest version of the impact wear tester is explained in detail in order to exhibit how theoretical, virtual and experimental analyses could be integrated while designing a mechanical system.

This study aimed to reveal the impact wear behaviors of tempered 25Cr3Mo2NiWV steel. The specimens were subject to various heat treatment processes for generating different mechanical and wear properties. The impact wear tests were performed with an MLD-10 dynamic abrasive wear tester. Worn surface morphologies and micro-cracks of the cross-sections were analyzed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The Vickers hardness of the sample and the impact wear mechanism were also analyzed. The steel with the best combination of hardness and toughness had the lowest wear. With the increase of wear time, the dominant wear mechanism varied from slight plastic deformation to micro-cutting and adhesive wear. Finally, micro fatigue peeling occurred. After impact wear, the cracks could initiate from the surface or the sub-surface. Micrographs of the crack in the cross-section demonstrated two different propagation modes of fatigue fractures. The results showed that the strength and toughness of steel affected the crack propagation, surface spalling, and wear failure mechanism during impact wear.

Abstract Recent advancements in Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) demonstrated the ability to operate in high radiation environments of up to multiple kGy’s, which increased their appeal as sensors for high-energy physics detectors. The most recent example in such application is the new ALICE inner tracking system, entirely instrumented with CMOS MAPS, that covers an area of about 10 m2. However, the full potential of such devices has not yet been fully exploited, especially in respect of the size of the active area, power consumption, and timing capabilities. The ARCADIA project is developing Fully Depleted (FD) MAPS with an innovative sensor design, that uses a proprietary processing of the backside to improve the charge collection efficiency and timing over a wide range of operational and environmental conditions. The innovative sensor design targets very low power consumption, of the order of 20 mW cm−2 at 100 MHz cm−2 hit flux, to enable air-cooled operations of the sensors. Another key design parameter is the ability to further reduce the power regime of the sensor, down to 5 mW cm−2 or better, for low hit rates like e.g. expected in space experiments. In this contribution, we present a comparison between the detector characteristics predicted with Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) simulations and the ones measured experimentally. The comparison focuses on the current-voltage (IV) and capacitance-voltage (CV) characteristics, as well as noise estimated from in-pixel capacitances of passive/active pixel matrices. In view of the targeted applications of this technology, an emphasis is set on the modeling of X-ray induced radiation damage at the Si-SiO2 interface and the impact on the in-pixel sensor capacitance. The so-called new Perugia model has been used in the simulations to predict the sensor performance after total ionizing doses of up to 10 Mrad.

<p>Shoreline, as the interface between the upper shoreface and the beach-dune system, is sensitive to all changes from both the underwater and sub-aerial parts of the beach at a wide range of temporal scales (seconds to decades), making it a good indicator for coastal health. While more traditional techniques of shoreline monitoring present some shortcomings (low temporal resolution for photointerpretation, reduced spatial extension for video-based techniques, high costs for DGPS in-situ data acquisition), freely available satellite images can provide information for large areas (tens/hundreds of km) at very good temporal scales (days).</p><p>We employed a shoreline detection workflow for the dynamic environment of the Danube Delta coast (Black Sea). We focused on an index-based approach using the Automated Water Extraction Index (AWEI). A fully automated procedure was deployed for data processing and the waterline was estimated at sub-pixel level with an adapted image thresholding technique. For validation purposes, 5 Sentinel-2 and 5 Landsat based results were compared with both in-situ (D)GPS measurements and manually digitized shoreline positions from very high-resolution satellite images (Pleiades – 0.5 m and Spot 7 – 1.5 m). The overall accuracy of the methodology, expressed as mean absolute error, was found to be of approximately 7.5 m for Sentinel-2 and 4.7 m for Landsat data, respectively.</p><p>More than 200 Landsat (5 and 8) and Sentinel-2 images were processed and the corresponding satellite-derived shorelines between 1990 and 2020 were analysed for the whole Romanian Danube Delta coast (130 km). This high number of shorelines allowed us the discrimination of different patterns of coastline dynamic and behaviour which could not have been possible using usual surveying techniques: the extent of accumulation areas induced by the 2005-2006 historical river floods, the impact of different high-energy storms and the subsequent beach recovery after these events, the alongshore movement of erosional processes in accordance with the dominant direction of longshore sediment transport, multi-annual differences in both erosional and accumulation trends. Moreover, a very important result of our analysis is the zonation of Danube Delta coast based on multi-annual trends of shoreline dynamics at finer alongshore spatial resolution than before. This has significant implications for future studies dealing with different scenarios of Danube Delta response to projected sea level rise and increased storminess.</p><p>The presented approach and resulting products offer optimal combination of data availability, accuracy and frequency necessary to meet the monitoring and management needs of the increasing number of stakeholders involved in the coastal zone protection activities.</p>

Since solid particles suspended in the fluid can cause wear in centrifugal pumps, intensive attention has been focused on the numerical prediction for the wear of flow parts in centrifugal pumps. However, most numerical studies have focused on only one wear model and a sphere particle model. The impact of particle shape on the wear of flow parts in centrifugal pumps is under-studied, particularly considering abrasive and impact wear simultaneously. In this work, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-Discrete Element Method (DEM) coupling method with an abrasive and impact wear prediction model was adopted to study the wear characteristics of a centrifugal pump. Moreover, four regular polyhedron particles and a sphere particle with the same equivalent diameter but different sphericity were mainly analyzed. The results demonstrate that more particles move closer to the blade pressure side in the impeller passage, and particles tend to cluster in specific areas within the volute as sphericity increases. The volute suffers the principal wear erosion no matter what the shapes of particles and wear model are. Both the impact and abrasive wear within the impeller occur primarily on the blade leading edge. The pump’s overall impact wear rate decreases first and then increases with particle sphericity rising, while the pump’s overall abrasive wear rate grows steadily.

Abstract We study the impact of non-standard neutrino interactions in the context of a new gauge boson Z′ in neutral-current deep-inelastic scattering performed in ForwArd Search ExpeRiment-ν (FASERν) and in monojet production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We simulate the neutral-current deep-inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering νN → νN at FASERν in the presence of an additional Z′ boson, and estimate the anticipated sensitivities to the gauge coupling in a wide range of Z′ mass. At the LHC, we study the effect of Z′ on monojet production, which can be enhanced in regions with large missing transverse momenta. We then use the recent results from ATLAS with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 to improve the limits on the gauge coupling of Z′. We interpret such limits on Z′ gauge couplings as bounds on effective non-standard neutrino interactions. We show that the FASERν and the LHC results cover the medium and high energy scales, respectively, and complement one another.

The structural integrity of wood is closely related to its brittleness and thus to its suitability for numerous applications where dynamic loads, wear and abrasion occur. The structural integrity of wood is only vaguely correlated with its density, but affected by different chemical, physico-structural and anatomical characteristics, which are difficult to encompass as a whole. This study aimed to analyze the results from High-Energy Multiple Impact (HEMI) tests of a wide range of softwood and hardwood species with an average oven-dry wood density in a range between 0.25 and 0.99 g/cm³ and multifaceted anatomical features. Therefore, small clear specimens from a total of 40 different soft- and hardwood species were crushed in a heavy vibratory ball mill. The obtained particles were fractionated and used to calculate the ‘Resistance to Impact Milling (RIM)’ as a measure of the wood structural integrity. The differences in structural integrity and thus in brittleness were predominantly affected by anatomical characteristics. The size, density and distribution of vessels as well as the ray density of wood were found to have a significant impact on the structural integrity of hardwoods. The structural integrity of softwood was rather affected by the number of growth ring borders and the occurrence of resin canals. The density affected the Resistance to Impact Milling (RIM) of neither the softwoods nor the hardwoods.

High velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) prepared CrC-based hardmetal coatings are generally known for their superior wear, corrosion, and oxidation resistance. These properties make this coating attractive for application in industry. However, under some loading conditions and in aggressive environments, the most commonly used NiCr matrix is not sufficient. The study is focused on the evaluation of dynamic impact wear of the HVOF-sprayed Cr3C2-25%NiCr and Cr3C2-50%NiCrMoNb coatings. Both coatings were tested by an impact tester with a wide range of impact loads. The Wohler-like dependence was determined for both coatings’ materials. It was shown that, due to the different microstructure and higher amount of tough matrix, the impact lifetime of the Cr3C2-50%NiCrMoNb coating was higher than the lifetime of the Cr3C2-25%NiCr coating. Differences in the behavior of the coatings were the most pronounced at high impact loads.

Most microelectronics devices and circuits operate faster, consume less power, execute more functions and cost less per circuit function when the feature-sizes internal to the devices and circuits are made smaller. This is part of the stimulus for the Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. There is also a need for smaller, more sensitive sensors in a wide range of disciplines that includes electrochemistry, neurophysiology and ultra-high pressure solid state research. There is often fundamental new science (and sometimes new technology) to be revealed (and used) when a basic parameter such as size is extended to new dimensions, as is evident at the two extremes of smallness and largeness, high energy particle physics and cosmology, respectively. However, there is also a very important intermediate domain of size that spans from the diameter of a small cluster of atoms up to near one micrometer which may also have just as profound effects on society as “big” physics.
