The need to improve the surface properties of materials, has led to the development of parts coated with hard materials deposited on substrates. In this work, by using the finite element method the AA Aluminium 6063 T6 hardness with an error less of the 5 % of the Brinell hardness (HBN), in comparison with the experimental data supplied, was determined. For this, the modelling of a spherical indentation test was carried out, in which the indentation loads and the projected contact radius are obtained from several potential adjustments. Then, using the Lessage-Pertúz model the hardness of the Ni-P coating was determined, obtaining a value of 4.86 GPa.

Cao and Lu had built a method to acquire the properties of materials. But they neglected the influence of strain hardening exponent n by introducing the representative strain which didan’t have any physical meaning. A new method from a continuous spherical indentation test was built, the influence of strain hardening exponent n were considered and the formulas of dimensionless functions defined in their work were improved in this present paper. Then the computational results from the new method and the actual results were compared and the error is about 8%.

The article presents the results of spherical indentation modelling of coating-substrate systems. Modelling was carried out using the finite element method. First of all, the effect of the coating thickness on system deformation and stress distribution was taken into analysis, assuming coating thicknesses of 1, 2, and 5 μm, which are typical for tribological applications as well as models with infinitely thick coating and without a coating. The evolution of maximum radial stresses in the indentation within 0 to 3N load is presented. A significant effect of the coating thickness on the value and location of the maximum stress concentration was observed. The effect of internal stresses on surface bearing capacity with PVD coatings was also analysed. The paper presents the possibility of creating failure maps of coating–substrate systems for the assumed mechanical properties of materials, which allows one to determine the load capacity of coated surface or choose the optimal coating thickness when the maximum strength and contact geometry are known.

AbstractWind turbines (WT) must be further optimized concerning availability and reliability. One of the major reasons of WT downtime is the failure of gearbox bearings. Some of these failures occur, due to the ring creep phenomenon, which is mostly detected in the planetary bearings. The ring creep phenomenon describes a relative movement of the outer ring to the planetary gear. In order to improve the understanding of ring creep, the finite element method (FEM) is used to simulate ring creep in planetary gears. First, a sensitivity analysis is carried out on a small bearing size (NU205), to characterize relevant influence parameters for ring creep—considered parameters are teeth module, coefficient of friction, interference fit and normal tooth forces. Secondly, a full-scale planetary bearing (SL185030) of a 1MW WT is simulated and verified with experimental data.

Force Displacement

Indentation is widely used to extract material elastoplastic properties from measured force-displacement curves. Many previous studies argued or implied that such a measurement is unique and the whole material stress-strain curve can be measured. Here we show that first, for a given indenter geometry, the indentation test cannot effectively probe material plastic behavior beyond a critical strain, and thus the solution of the reverse analysis of the indentation force-displacement curve is nonunique beyond such a critical strain. Secondly, even within the critical strain, pairs of mystical materials can exist that have essentially identical indentation responses (with differences below the resolution of published indentation techniques) even when the indenter angle is varied over a large range. Thus, fundamental elastoplastic behaviors, such as the yield stress and work hardening properties (functions), cannot be uniquely determined from the force-displacement curves of indentation analyses (including both plural sharp indentation and deep spherical indentation). Explicit algorithms of deriving the mystical materials are established, and we qualitatively correlate the sharp and spherical indentation analyses through the use of critical strain. The theoretical study in this paper addresses important questions of the application range, limitations, and uniqueness of the indentation test, as well as providing useful guidelines to properly use the indentation technique to measure material constitutive properties.

The identification method of hardening parameters specifying stress-strain curve is proposed by applying spherical indentation test and measuring the penetration depth during loading and unloading. The loading program is composed of a geometric sequence of loading and partial unloading steps from which the variation of permanent penetration with load level is determined. This data is used for specification of two parameters k and m occurring in the plastic hardening curve εp=σ/k1/m, where εp denotes the plastic strain.

AbstractA computer model based on the finite element method has been applied to evaluate the effect of the parasitic area between contact and diffusion edges on end resistance measurements in four terminal Kelvin resistor structures. The model is then applied to Al/Ti/n+ Si contacts and a value of contact resistivity of Qc = 1.8×10−7.Ωcm2 is derived. For comparison, the use of a self-aligned structure to avoid parasitic effects is presented and the first experimental results obtained on Al/Ti/n+Si and Al/CoSi2/n+Si contacts are shown and discussed.

Abstract Molecular dynamic models are created for properties of bivalent ions in organic solvents. It is shown that molecules of the considered solvents bound to ions via oxygen atoms. A theoretical model is developed that describes the ion coordination number. The coordination number in this model is determined by the ratio between the sizes of the ion and the atom organic molecule bound to it. It is shown that the coordination number depends weakly on the solvent and strongly on the type of ion. A value of 0.13 nm is obtained for the effective size of an oxygen atom bound to a bivalent ion. The constructed theoretical model agrees with the results from molecular dynamic calculations and the available experimental data.

AbstractDopamine activity may transition between two patterns: phasic responses to reward-predicting cues and ramping activity arising when an agent approaches the reward. However, when and why dopamine activity transitions between these modes is not understood. We hypothesize that the transition between ramping and phasic patterns reflects resource allocation which addresses the task dimensionality problem during reinforcement learning (RL). By parsimoniously modifying a standard temporal difference (TD) learning model to accommodate a mixed presentation of both experimental and environmental stimuli, we simulated dopamine transitions and compared it with experimental data from four different studies. The results suggested that dopamine transitions from ramping to phasic patterns as the agent narrows down candidate stimuli for the task; the opposite occurs when the agent needs to re-learn candidate stimuli due to a value change. These results lend insight into how dopamine deals with the tradeoff between cognitive resource and task dimensionality during RL.

SummaryExperimental data in the system CaO-MgO-FeO-SiO2 suggest that there may be a plateau on the liquidus and solidus of the multicomponent system basalt-peridotite. If this is so, fusion of peridotite would produce only basaltie magmas over a wide temperature range; when the temperature reached a value such that the liquid crossed the threshold of the plateau, there would be a rapid increase in the amount of fusion for small temperature increases, with the formation of picritic magmas; basaltic magmas containing suspended forsteritic olivine crystals could dissolve them if the temperature rose slightly above that of the plateau threshold; a high proportion of a picritic magma would crystallize in a small temperature interval, with the precipitation of forsteritic olivine that was only slightly zoned. These possibilities are compared with current theories, and it is concluded that several petrological axioms may require critical re-examination. An experimental procedure is outlined to determine the shape of the liquidus and solidus in the basalt-peridotite system.
