In order to improve the pelleting effect of Agropyron seeds, the pelleting experiment was conducted under different working parameters. In this paper, the discrete element simulation software EDED was used to establish the simulation model, and the influence of the vibration frequency of coater, the tilt angle of coater, and the rotational speed of coater on the movement trajectory of the Agropyron population were analysed. The simulation results show that the rotational speed is 40r/min, the tilt angle is 35° and the vibration frequency is 20 Hz, and the amplitude is 2 mm, the optimal trajectory of Agropyron population is obtained. The orthogonal experiment of 3 factors (vibration frequency of coater, rotational speed of coater, tilt angle of coater) and 5 levels were designed. The working parameters of pelleting Agropyron seeds were optimized by investigating the 4 indexes of compressive strength, seed rate, single seed rate and pelleting qualified rate. The results show that the vibration is the main factor affecting the compressive strength and single seed rate, the rotational speed is the main factor affecting the seed rate, and the inclination angle is the main factor affecting the pelleting rate. The optimal parameters are as follows: the rotational speed is 40r/min, the tilt angle is 35° and the vibration frequency is 20Hz.

AbstractThe quality of friction stir welded joints depends upon the working parameters such as rotational speed, welding speed, shoulder diameter, tilt angle; etc. Each process parameter has a significant effect on the formation of joint strength. This investigation attempts to understand the effect of friction stir welding parameters on microstructural characteristics and tensile strength of AA2014-T6 aluminium alloy. This is performed by changing any one of the process parameters from minimum to maximum and keeping others constant. The joint fabricated from a rotational speed of 1500 rpm, welding speed of 40 mm/min, shoulder diameter of 6 mm and tilt angle of 1.5∘ yielded superior tensile properties compared to their counter joints. Due to the formation of defect-free weld, balanced material flow and uniform distribution of strengthening precipitates in the stir zone is achieved.

The present study deals with the application of sequential procedure (i.e. steepest ascent) to obtain the optimum values of process parameters for conducting friction stir welding (FSW) experiments. A vertical milling machine is modified by fabricating fixture and tool ( H13 material) for performing FSW operation to join AA7039 plates. The steepest ascent technique is employed to design the experiments at different rotational speed, welding speed, and tilt angle. The ultimate tensile strength is considered as a performance characteristic for deciding the optimal levels. The mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of the joints are studied by executing tensile and microhardness tests. It is concluded from the graphical analysis of the steepest ascent technique that the optimal maximum and minimum values are 1812–1325 r/min for rotational speed, 43–26 mm/min for welding speed, and 2°–1.3° for tilt angle, respectively. Besides, optical microscope and scanning electron microscope are utilized for microstructural and fractographic analyses for a better understanding of the process.

To improve the application of the new proto-machine-made sand in structural engineering, tests are carried out to study the drying shrinkage of concrete affected by stone powder in proto- machine-made sand. The target cubic compressive strength of concrete is 55 MPa, the main factor varied in mix proportion of concrete is the contents of stone powder by mass of proto-machine-made sand from 3 % to 16 %. The drying shrinkage strains of concrete are measured by the standard method at the ages of 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, 28 d, 60 d, 90 d, 120 d, 150 d and 180 d. Based on test results, the drying shrinkage of concrete affected by the contents of stone powder in proto-machine-made sand is analyzed and compared with that of similar test of concrete with traditional machine-made sand, which shows that there is the optimum content of stone powder resulting in the lower drying shrinkage of concrete. The formula for predicting drying shrinkage strain of concrete is proposed.

Friction stir processing (FSP) has been developed on the principles of friction stir welding (FSW) as an effective and efficien new method for grain refinement and microstructural modification, providing intense plastic deformation as well as higher strain rates than other conventional severe plastic deformation methods. FSP produces an equiaxed homogeneous microstructure consisting of fine grains, resulting in the enhancement of the properties of the material at room temperature. The objective of the present paper is to examine the influence of friction stir processing (FSP) parameters namely tool rotational speed (RS), tool traverse speed (TS) and tool tilt angle (TA) on the microstructures of friction stir processed AZ31B-O magnesium alloy. This investigation has focused on the microstructural changes occurred in the dynamically recrystallised nugget zone/ stir zone and the thermo mechanically affected zone during FSP. The results presented in this work indicate that all the three FSP process parameters have a significant effect on the resulting microstructure and also found that the rotational speed has greatly influenced the homogenization of the material. The grain refinement is higher at intermediate rotational speed (1150 rpm), traverse speed (32 mm / min and tilt angle (10). It is established that FSP can be a good grain refinement method for improving the properties of the material.

As the core part of precision seeder, the performance of pickup finger seed metering device directly affects the seeding quality. Aiming at the problem that the traditional pickup finger seed metering device can be easily affected by the performance of spring material, and the reliability of spring decreases with the increase of service time, a magnetic pickup finger seed metering device is designed to open and close the pickup finger by magnetic force, so as to improve the stability of seed metering performance. Through the design and optimization of permanent magnet structure, cam structure and seed taking pickup finger structure, the magnetic force distribution of ring magnet is analysed by using ANSYS Maxwell magnetic simulation software. Under the working speed of 3.9km/h, the vibration frequency, vibration amplitude and magnetic induction intensity were selected for orthogonal test. The experimental results show that the optimal combination of factors is vibration frequency 6Hz, vibration amplitude 3.1mm and magnetic induction intensity 316.34mT. Under the condition of the combination of operation parameters, the seed arrangement performance is 91.7% of the qualified rate, 6.2% of the replant rate and 2.1% of the missed rate, which meets the requirements of the national standard for the performance of the seeder. This study can provide a reference for the optimization of the structure and the improvement of the seed metering performance of the pickup finger seed metering device.

A solar collector market is most European countries is at the stage of continuous development, however its expansion rate differs. It shows that much more factors than only the local solar radiation is important, including a technology progress, costs, local manufactures’ engagement, an economic government support or an environmentally consciousness raising relevant to a mitigating climate change. We conducted the analysis for a public office building, with a few toilets and a social room, used by 54 people. As a primary heat source for HVAC and DHW systems an oil boiler was used, whereas solar collectors were considered as an energy source for hot water preparation. The analysis was conducted for three locations of the building: Bialystok (Poland), Cordoba (Spain) and Kaunas (Lithuania), using a simulation software delivered within the framework of VIPSKILLS project. Theoretical hot water consumption was considered as 3–7 dm3/(day person) in compliance with national recommendations. It was found that beam solar radiation share in a total radiation balance was nearly twice higher in Cordoba than in Bialystok or Kaunas. The highest efficiency (44%) was estimated in Cordoba for solar collectors installed with the tilt angle between 45–50°. In case of Bialystok and Kaunas the efficiency was lower than in Cordoba and nearly equal 40–41% and the recommended tilt angle was in a range 30– 45°.
