Ignition of powder materials under friction

It is shown that ignition may occur under light frictional pressure. In the case of friction applied to a powder, there are two limits of ignition in terms of the frictional pressure. A frictional approach permits a high degree of compaction of powder at low frictional pressure (∼10 kg/cm²). The influence of the material of the frictional body on sample heating and ignition is investigated. Activation of chemically active powder under the action of friction is observed. A discussion of the results is presented. Institute of Structural Macrokinetics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Chernogolovka.

Longitudinal elastic waves in columns due to earthquake motion

An analysis is presented of longitudinal waves in a thin elastic column. Velocity is specified at one end, and the boundary condition at the other end is expressed in terms of a range of effective impedances of an attached structure. Propagation, reflection and interference of the waves are followed by the method of characteristics. Integration of differential equations along characteristics yields the wave-induced stress, which is then applied to problems of earthquake excitation. Numerical examples are given for recorded updown ground motion of the Kobe Earthquake.     

The Bi2O3-SrO phase diagram

The phase relations in the Bi₂O₃-SrO system have been examined in air at temperatures above 740 °C. Intermediate phases were found to agree with previous work, but the homogeneity ranges and high-temperature phase relationships were in some cases at variance. A modified phase diagram is proposed.

低速爆轰管对黑火药的点传火性能研究

文章采用中心点火管结构的实验装置研究了黑火药的点传火性能。用低速爆轰 (L VD)中心点火管来点燃黑火药时 ,1# ～ 3# 大粒黑药的传火速度为 70 0 m· s-1～ 80 0 m· s-1数量级 ,燃烧波宽度在 3.1ms～ 3.5 ms,最大压力峰值 :1# 为 36 .4 MPa,2 # 为 2 4 .0 MPa,3# 为 38.0 MPa。用普通中心点火管点燃黑火药时 ,2 # 、3# 和钝化 2 # 大粒黑的传火速度分别为 6 1.2 m· s-1、6 8.2 m·s-1和 4 0 .1m· s-1,最大燃烧波宽度分别为 9.2 ms、6 .3ms和 9.5 ms。燃烧波表明 ,L VD中心传火管与普通中心传火管相比较 ,在传火管的不同位置处 ,前者的 P- t曲线一致性远高于后者。     

水闸闸室化算梯形横截面上不平衡剪力的分配计算

当地弹性地基梁法计算非岩石地基的水闸底板应力时，首先要求解出不平衡剪力，当闸墩截面选择梯形时（主要是边墩），常用方法是作图法，这既有误差又繁琐。所以就此推导出一个公式，可直接求解平衡剪力。     

Optical dot gain on newsprint determined with the Lund nuclear microprobe

A technique for measuring optical dot gain, i.e. the relative difference between the actual screen dot and the optically perceived one, is presented. By combining measurements from the non-optical nuclear microprobe with data from image analyzing technique the optical dot gain can be determined. The procedure to reach pixel by pixel correlation on a micrometer scale is discussed. In the newsprint sample studied in this investigation a typical optical dot gain between 15 and 20% was deduced. The variation in the optical dot gain was correlated with other characteristic parameters of the print and newsprint and especially a positive correlation to the mass density of the newsprint was observed.

Effect of microwave heating on quality and mycoflora of sorghum grain

Sorghum (cv. Maldandi M35-1) was modified to 12, 14 and 16% moisture content (m.c.) and heat-treated with microwave energy at 3 levels, for 30 sec (=4.5, 9 and 18 kJ), and 60 sec (=9, 18 and 36 kJ). The effect of microwave heating on rise and subsequent fall in grain temperature, reduction in m.c. and quality characteristics including germination, seedling dry matter, free fatty acids (FFA) and contaminant fungi was determined. The temperature attained and the moisture loss in the sorghum grain was affected by grain m.c. and the time of exposure. At the lowest and highest microwave treatment level grain temperatures reached 30–40°C and 90–101°C, respectively. However, a 60-sec treatment at the highest energy level was lethal for the grain, particularly at 14 and 16% m.c. The FFA values were unaffected by microwave treatment. Statistical analyses showed that the microwave power level and time individually, and power level × time interactions were significant for most quality characteristics. The fungi present most abundantly on the sorghum grain were Eurotium spp., Aspergillus candidus, A. niger and Penicillium spp. Increasing m.c. and microwave heating resulted in elimination of most fungi after a 30-sec exposure time. With a 60-sec exposure period, practically all fungi were eliminated from the grain.
