A framework for determining optimal period and cost in extended warranty is proposed in this paper. The optimal period and cost is derived from two-dimensional delay time model. Two-dimensional delay time model is governed by age and mileage. Age and mileage gives effect for the rate of defect arrival λ. The steps for obtaining the model to estimate the optimal period cost of extended warranty is presented. It starts from modeling the defect arrival rate, the impact of preventive maintenance toward the defect arrival rate; determine the delay time distribution, data analyzing and the last optimal cost and period estimation for extended warranty.

Groundwater chemistry has an important impact on the vegetation distribution in inland areas. An in-depth understanding of the impact of groundwater chemistry on vegetation can help in developing an effective management strategy to protect the inland ecosystem. The aim of this study was to identify the influence of groundwater chemicals on species diversity and the distribution characteristics of wetland plants at multiple scales based on the groundwater chemical data from 15 sampling points and the distribution data of 13 plants in the Sugan Lake Wetland in 2016. The results show that the groundwater of the Sugan Lake Wetland is weakly alkaline, with high salinity and hardness; the water chemical type is Na-SO4-Cl; the concentration of the major water chemical parameters is significantly different and is the highest in the northwest, followed by the southwest, and is the lowest in the east; with an increase in the groundwater depth, the concentration of major water chemical parameters first showed an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend; Artemisia frigida Willd, Poa annua L. and Triglochin maritimum L. were adapted to the environment with a higher ion concentration of the groundwater, and their salt resistance was the strongest; Blysmus sinocompressus and Polygonum are more adapted to the environment with lower salinity and hardness of groundwater; Thermopsis lanceolata has stronger adaptability to the ion concentration, salinity, and hardness of groundwater; other plants are adapted to environments where the ion concentration, salinity, and hardness of the groundwater are moderate.

In this paper, the characteristic of grinding force in two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding nano-ceramic was studied by experiment based on indentation fracture mechanics, and mathematical model of grinding force was established. The study shows that grinding force mainly result from the impact of the grains on the workpiece in ultrasonic grinding, and the pulse power is much larger than normal grinding force. The ultrasonic vibration frequency is so high and the contact time of grains with the workpiece is so short that the pulse force will be balanced by reaction force from workpiece. In grinding workpiece was loaded by the periodical stress field, which accelerates the fatigue fracture.

The practical requirements of the project the nozzle entrance temperature is high, the gas specific heat ratio varies greatly, so it must consider the specific heat ratio change impact on two-dimensional nozzle contour design. Divided into consideration specific heat ratio change and not consider two kinds of scheme design of 1.4Ma nozzle profile and build the model using the arc line method, numerical simulation is carried out through the CFD software Fluent, analysis of two kinds of design scheme comparison. The results show that, in the supersonic nozzle at low Maher numbers, two schemes of nozzle design profile similarity, parameters change little flow tube, export the Maher number and the flow quality can meet the design requirements, proof of specific heat ratio has little effect on the design results in the design of the nozzle under the condition of low Maher number.

The impact of phonon and their surrounding environment on exciton and its complexes were investigated in monolayer WSe2 semiconductor. Phonon up-conversion has been studied in past for conventional III–V semiconductors, but its role in two-dimensional layered transition metal dichalcogenides has rarely been explored. We investigated the photoluminescence up-conversion mechanism in WSe2 monolayer and found that a lower energy photon gain energy upto 64[Formula: see text]meV to be up-converted to emission photon at room temperature. Moreover, the phonon-exciton coupling mechanism has also been investigated and the role of dielectric screening has been explored to get complete insight of coulomb’s interaction in these electron-hole pairs. Investigations of charge carrier’s lifetime reveal that boron nitride encapsulated monolayer has shorter recombination time as low as 41 ps as compared to a bare monolayer on SiO2 substrate. These results are very promising for realizing spintronics-based application from two-dimensional layered semiconductors.

One of the main shortcomings in a field effect diode (FED) is its scaling. Use of an oxide layer in the channel is proposed to enhance the control of the gate on the channel carriers. This is the so-called silicon on raised insulator FED (SORI-FFD) structure. The Shockley–Read–Hall (SRH) mechanism is one of the main components of leakage current in FED devices. The potential induced by the gates in the OFF-state of a SORI-FFD, is larger than that induced by the gates of a regular FED. This reduces, SRH recombination rate. Hence, OFF-state characteristics of the SORI-FED device improves. We evaluate the impact of band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) on the electrical characteristics of Modified FED (M-FED).We show that for channel lengths of 35 nm and lower this device does not turn off. While, the proposed structure makes device channel length scaling possible down to 15 nm. We will also compare electrical characteristics of SORI-FED and M-FED using three metrics: gate delay time versus channel length, gate delay time versus I ON /I OFF ratio and energy-delay product versus channel length. Benchmarking results show the proposed FED structure provides improvement in I ON /I OFF ratio and holds promise for future logic transistor applications.

In order to analyze the impact of engine cabin parts on aerodynamic characteristics, the related parts are divided into three categories except the engine cooling components: front thin plates (average thickness of 2mm), bottom-suspension and interior panels. The aerodynamic drag coefficient (Cd) were obtained upon the combination schemes consisting of the three types of parts by numerical simulation. Results show that Cd by simulation is closer to the test value gained by the wind tunnel experiment when front thin plates were simplified to the two-dimensional interface with zero thickness. The error is only 5.23%. Meanwhile this scheme reduces grid numbers, thus decreasing the calculating time. As the front thin plates can guide the flow, there is no difference on the Cd values gained from the model with or without bottom-suspension or interior panels when the engine cabin contains the front thin plates; while only both bottom-suspension and interior panels are removed, the Cd value can be reduced when the cabin doesn’t contain the front thin plates.

AbstractUnderstanding the behaviour of particles entrained in a fluid flow upon changes in flow direction is crucial in problems where particle inertia is important, such as the erosion process in pipe bends. We present results on the impact of particles in a T-shaped channel in the laminar–turbulent transitional regime. The impacting event for a given system is described in terms of the Reynolds number and the particle Stokes number. Experimental results for the impact are compared with the trajectories predicted by theoretical particle-tracing models for a range of configurations to determine the role of the viscous boundary layer in retarding the particles and reducing the rate of collision with the substrate. In particular, a two-dimensional model based on a stagnation-point flow is used together with three-dimensional numerical simulations. We show how the simple two-dimensional model provides a tractable way of understanding the general collision behaviour, while more advanced three-dimensional simulations can be helpful in understanding the details of the flow.
