Studies on the microstructure of the black-glazed bowl sherds excavated from the Jian kiln site of ancient China

The Jian kiln, located in present-day Jianyang county of Fujian province, mainly produced black-glazed tea bowls. Jian tea bowl was used as a utensil for tea tasting and was greatly appreciated by emperor Huizong of the Northern Song dynasty. The black glaze of Jian bowl was sometimes marked with streaks or spots, usually called “hare's fur” or “oil spot”, which are the crystalline markings of iron oxide precipitated during firing in the dragon kiln. In this study, black-glazed Jian bowl sherds excavated from the late Northern Song strata of Luhuaping and Daluhoumen Jian kiln sites were adopted as test samples. Based on the physico-chemical foundation for the formation of glaze microstructure, the correlation among composition, microstructure, and visual appearance has been investigated by means of energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and field emission electron microscopy. For the first time, the study provides realizing proofs for two kinds of microstructural forming mechanics.     

Rule-based supervisory control of a two-link flexible manipulator

In this paper, we propose a two level hierarchical control strategy to achieve accurate end-point position of a planar two-link flexible manipulator. The upper level consists of a feedforward rule-based supervisory controller that incorporates fuzzy logic, whereas the lower level consists of conventional controllers that combine shaft position-endpoint acceleration feedback for disturbance rejection properties and shaping of the (joint) actuator inputs to minimize the energy transferred to the flexible modes during commanded movements. The effectiveness of this hierarchical control strategy is verified by experimental results for various movements of the links, in various configurations. In particular, we illustrate how the hierarchical intelligent control strategy performs better than conventional control techniques for endpoint position control in the presence of flexure effects.     

基于群智能混合算法的物流配送路径研究

针对物流车辆路径优化问题,考虑到基本蚁群算法有收敛速度慢、易陷入局部最优的缺点,采用了一种双种群蚁群算法,在蚁群的基础上引入差分进化(DE)和粒子群算法(PSO)。通过在PSOAS种群和DEAS种群之间建立一种信息交流机制,使信息能够在两个种群中传递,以免某一方因错误的信息判断而陷入局部最优点。通过matlab仿真实验测试,表明该群智能混合算法可以较好地解决TSP的问题。     

超声预处理对控制南水藻类的可行性探究

针对夏季高藻时期的北方某市南水北调原水,研究了以超声波预处理工艺代替加氯预处理工艺的可行性.在小试试验的基础上进行了中试试验,对比了无预处理、加氯预处理与超声预处理3种工艺处理效果的差异.结果 表明,超声预处理频率为40 kHz、功率为0.12 W/cm2、处理时间为2 min时,对浑浊度、藻类数量和溶解性有机物的处理效果与传统加氯预处理相近.另外,超声预处理可使消毒副产物前体物减少,使工艺出水的三氯甲烷生成量减少42.02％,而加氯预处理则会使三氯甲烷生成量增加12.54％,故超声预处理在降低消毒副产物方面存在优势.在实际应用上,以超声波作为预处理手段理论上存在可行性,但是在实际应用中需要解决设计安装、运行调试与成本方面的问题.

纤维素LiCl/DMAc体系的溶液特征

本文研究了纤维素LiCl／DMAc体系的溶液特征。实验结果证明该体系具有良好的时间稳定性和热稳定性，能在常温下近30天内没有明显的粘度降低；在100℃高温下，4h不降解。同时测定了溶液的特性粘数和Huggins常数，Huggins常数在0．4～0．6之间，对比纤维素的铜乙二胺（Cuen）溶液，发现特性粘数[η]LICI/DMAc＞[η]Cuen，无扰尺寸ALiCi／DMAc＞ACuen，可见在LiCl／DMAc体系中，溶剂与纤维素分子表现出更强的相互作用力，分子链充分伸展。该体系的特性粘数、粘度常数不仅与温度、溶剂有关，而且是LiCl浓度的函数，具有与聚电解质溶液相类似的性质。这可能是因为纤维素分子链上的H质子和溶液中的Cl-离子相互作用，而使纤维素分子带上部分电荷，相互排斥而引起的。因此利用M－H方程测分子量，粘度常数的确立必须考虑诸多因素的影响，否则会导致分子量的高估。     

纤维素LiCl/DMAc溶液流变性能研究

本文研究了9％LICI／DMAC纤维素溶液的流变性能。在该体系中纤维素溶液是非牛顿流体，属于假塑性流体，具有典型的幂律性。通过幂律方程拟合计算，其稠度系数为60～135，流动特性指数为0.62～0．70。随着浓度增大，稠度系数增大和流动特性指数降低；温度的变化对流动特性指数的影响不大，温度升高，流动特性指数略有减小，而稠度系数相对增大。溶液的粘度随着剪切速率的增大，开始时粘度迅速降低，后趋于稳定，这可能与纤维素分子在溶液中的取向有关。在不同剪切速率下，其流动活化能为23～30kJ．     

Formation of phase structure and crystallization behavior in blends containing polystyrene–polyethylene block copolymers

The microphase separation structure in the molten state and the structure formation in crystallization from such ordered melt were investigated for the blends of polystyrene–polyethylene block copolymers (SE) with polystyrene homopolymer (PS) and polyethylene homopolymer (PE) and for the blends consisting of two kinds of SE with different copolymer compositions from each other, using synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering techniques (SAXS). The copolymer compositions of SE block copolymers employed were 0.34, 0.58 and 0.73 wt. fraction of PE, and their melt morphologies were cylindrical, lamellar and lamellar, respectively. Macrophase separation or the morphology change in the melt occurred depending on the molecular weight and the blend composition, as reported so far. In crystallization from such macrophase-separated and microphase-separated melts, the melt morphology was completely kept for all the blends. Crystallization behavior was also investigated for the blends. The crystallization within the spherical and cylindrical domains surrounded by glassy PS was not observed for SE/PS blends. In the crystallization from the macrophase-separated melt, two exothermal peaks were observed in the DSC measurements, while a single peak was observed for other blends. For the blends with PS, the degree of crystallinity was depressed and the apparent activation energy of crystallization was high, compared to those for the corresponding neat SE. For SE/PE and SE/SE blends, those were changed depending on the blend composition.     

Efficiency of mineral admixtures in mortars: Quantification of the physical and chemical effects of fine admixtures in relation with compressive strength

This work is the fourth part of an overall project the aim of which was the development of general mix design rules for concrete containing different kinds of mineral admixtures. The two first parts presented the separation and quantification, by means of an empirical model based on semi-adiabatic calorimetry measurements, of the different physical effects responsible for changes in cement hydration (short terms) when chemically inert quartz powders were used in mortars. Part three dealt with an intensive experimental program, presenting and commenting more than 2000 compressive strength measurements. This program concerned 1 day to 6 months old mortars containing up to 75% of inert and pozzolanic admixtures. All these compressive strength results are analyzed in this fourth part and the influence of three effects, namely dilution, heterogeneous nucleation and the pozzolanic effect, are discriminated and quantitatively evaluated. An efficiency concept is proposed in order to take into account the effect of mineral admixture in mortars from both the physical and chemical points of view. It uses an efficiency function ξ(p) that has notable properties: it is independent of time, independent of fineness and independent of the type of mineral admixture.
