Aspects of rapid crack propagation in silicon

Fracture experiments with silicon specimens in recent years have shown the need for a new approach to the analysis of rapidly propagating cracks in single crystals. Behaviour and phenomena have been revealed that fracture in these materials is rather different from the fracture of both amorphous and polycrystalline materials. We show that continuum mechanics is insufficient for analyzing crack propagation in single crystals since it is unable to consider atomistic‐scale phenomena. Accordingly, we describe basic phenomena associated with rapid crack propagation in silicon : (i) anisotropic velocity‐dependent R‐curve behaviour, as a key phenomenon dictating atomistic scale behaviour, (ii) crack deflection from one cleavage plane to another as a mesoscopic scale phenomenon in single‐crystal fracture, (iii) the Rayleigh surface wave speed as the limiting crack tip velocity is re‐examined, (vi) the lowest crack velocity in brittle crystals is examined, and finally (v) the interaction between crack path and preferred cleavage planes in single crystals is depicted.     

Single axioms for odd exponent groups

With the aid of automated reasoning techniques, we show that all previously known short single axioms for odd exponent groups are special cases of one general schema. We also demonstrate how to convert the proofs generated by an automated reasoning system into proofs understandable by a human.Authors supported by NSF Grant DMS-9100665     

单层球面网壳地震反应特征分析

考虑不同矢跨比、荷载、跨度和支座刚度等多种因素的影响,对单层球面网壳在地震作用下的反应进行了较全面的研究,给出了其随各参数变化的规律,得出了在单层球面网壳抗震设计中起控制作用的是水平地震作用而不是竖向地震作用等有益的结论.此外本文还给出了由于阻尼比不同而需对引用现行抗震规范反应谱分析的网壳地震作用进行修正的建议.     

河道冲刷和清水水流河床冲刷率

在冲积河流里。水流条件变化如洪水、水库泄放清水、河道渠化等使挟沙力不饱和引起冲刷，称为河道冲刷。这与水工建筑造成的局部冲刷不同。河道冲刷深度主要决定于冲刷率和冲刷历时。本研究通过对各种泥沙大量实验，证明了河床冲刷率正比于水流提供的冲刷功率并依赖于泥沙粒径和容重，首次提出了冲刷率公式。经验证，该公式可以用于非恒定流输沙和河流洪水冲刷计算。

Nonlinear adaptive algorithms for equalisation in mobile satellite communications

This paper considers the equalisation problem in Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (QPSK) modulated signals which have been distorted by the passage through a transmission channel. The channel is modelled as a Rician fading channel to simulate the behaviour of the transmission channel in the mobile satellite context. The equalisation is treated as the generalisation of the channel behaviour, and some algorithms with the structure of an artificial neural network using the Multilayer Perceptron, Volterra Series and Radial Basis Function are described. Results for the BER performance of typical transversal equalisers, with Square-Root Kalman adaptation algorithm, and algorithms with artificial neural network structure are also reported and evaluated. Improved performance is exhibited by the artificial neural network approaches.
