Self-Consistent Effects on the Starting Current of Gyrotron Oscillators

Self-consistent effects on the starting current of gyrotron oscillators are examined. Field profiles in the open cavity are shown to be sensitive to the interaction dynamics. This can either significantly raise or lower the oscillation threshold, particularly for the low-Q modes. The transition from resonant-mode oscillations at the low magnetic field to backward-wave oscillations at the high magnetic field is demonstrated.     

Dynamic Bending Strains in Planar Trusses with Pinned or Rigid Joints

The method of reverberation ray matrix is applied to analyze the dynamic behavior of structural members in trusses with pinned joints subjected to suddenly applied force. The results are compared with those in planar trusses with rigid joints. Detailed calculations are made with two types of trusses, a small laboratory model made of slender aluminum bars, and a hypothetical real size Pratt truss made of structural steel. It is found that the maximum dynamic bending strains in the members of both types of trusses are very large, comparable with the dynamic axial strains in the same member. The magnitudes of bending strains in the pinned truss differs little from those in the truss with rigid joints for both types of trusses. Such a large dynamic bending strain in a structure member, which is contradictory to the static behavior of the same truss, could be caused by the inertial force of the mass in structural members of the truss.     

Stochastic choice of basis functions in adaptive functionapproximation and the functional-link net

A theoretical justification for the random vector version of the functional-link (RVFL) net is presented in this paper, based on a general approach to adaptive function approximation. The approach consists of formulating a limit-integral representation of the function to be approximated and subsequently evaluating that integral with the Monte-Carlo method. Two main results are: (1) the RVFL is a universal approximator for continuous functions on bounded finite dimensional sets, and (2) the RVFL is an efficient universal approximator with the rate of approximation error convergence to zero of order O(C/ radicaln), where n is number of basis functions and with C independent of n. Similar results are also obtained for neural nets with hidden nodes implemented as products of univariate functions or radial basis functions. Some possible ways of enhancing the accuracy of multivariate function approximations are discussed.     

Isotope effect and tTc suppression in d-wave superconductors

We have studied the isotope effect on the superconducting transition temperatureT _c ofd-wave pairing instabilities due to antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation exchange. We found that models with conventional coupling toharmonic phonon degrees of freedom and reasonable limits on coupling strength and phonon spectra, give values for the isotope exponent which are at least one order of magnitude smaller than typical observed values of in the cuprates. Models with coupling to non-linear tunneling modes in a stronglyanharmonic multi-well lattice potential and realistic coupling strengths have effectively larger isotopic mass dependences andmay therefore account for the observed magnitudes of.This work was supported by the National Science Foundation (Grant DMR-8913878 and DMR-9215123) and by the University of Georgia Office of the Vice President for Research.

The dynamic characteristics of taper seals

Abstract

The dynamic characteristics of taper seal has been investigated. The approach is similar to Black's analysis; the stiffness and damping coefficients are derived. The results showed that the taper seals presented more stable characteristics comparing with plain seals. The practical application of this theory is increasingly used in industry.     

Corrosion-Fatigue Behavior of Aluminum Alloy 5083-H131 Sensitized at 448?K (175?°C)

The fatigue crack growth behavior of aluminum alloy 5083-H131 has been systematically studied as a function of degree of sensitization for aging at 448?K (175?°C). Fatigue crack growth rates were measured at load ratios of 0.1 and 0.85, in vacuum, air, and a corrosive aqueous environment containing 1?pct NaCl with dilute inhibitor. Sensitization does not affect the fatigue crack growth behavior of Al 5083-H131 significantly in vacuum or air, at low- or high-load ratio. For high-load ratio, in the 1?pct NaCl+inhibitor solution, the threshold drops by nearly 50?pct during the first 200?hours of aging, then it degrades more slowly for longer aging times up to 2000?hours. The change in aging behavior at approximately 200?hours seems to be correlated with the transition from partial coverage of the grain boundaries by ?? Al₃Mg₂ phase, to continuous full ?? coverage. ASTM G-67 mass loss levels below approximately 30?mg/cm² do not exhibit degraded corrosion-fatigue properties for R?=?0.85, but degradation of the threshold is rapid for higher mass loss levels.

Orientation of graphitic planes during annealing of “dip deposited” amorphous carbon film: A carbon K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge study

Annealing effect of amorphous carbon thin films on Si(1 0 0) substrates is studied by normal incidence and angle dependent carbon K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. The angle dependence of the XANES signal shows that the graphitic basal planes are oriented perpendicular to the surface when the film is annealed at 1000 °C. Micro-Raman spectroscopy reveals two well-separated bands the D band at 1355 cm⁻¹ and G band at ∼1600 cm⁻¹, and their I_D/I_G intensity ratio indicates the formation of more graphitic film at higher annealing temperatures. X-ray diffraction pattern of 1000 °C temperature annealed film confirms the formation of graphite structure.

Characterization of surface-undoped In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As/InP high electron mobilitytransistors

High-performance 0.3-μm-gate-length surface-undoped In_0.52 Al_0.48As/In_0.53Ga_0.47As/InP high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) have been characterized and compared with a surface-doped structure. At 18 GHz, the surface-undoped HEMT has achieved a maximum stable gain (MSG) of 19.2 dB compared to 16.0 dB for the surface-doped structure. The higher MSG value of the surface-undoped HEMTs is obtained due to the improved g_m/g₀ ratio associated with the surface-induced electric field spreading effect. Comparison of identical 0.3-×150-μm-gate devices fabricated on surface-undoped and -doped structures has shown greatly improved gate leakage characteristics and much lower output conductance for the surface-undoped structure. It is demonstrated that the surface potential, modulated by different surface layer designs, affects the charge control in the conducting channel, especially the carrier injection into the buffer, resulting in excess output conductance. Several millimeter-wave coplanar waveguide (CPW) monolithic distributed amplifiers have been successfully fabricated by using the surface-undoped HEMT structure. A high gain per stage distributed amplifier with 170-dB±1-dB small-signal gain across a frequency band of 24-40 GHz, a W-band monolithic integrated circuit with 6.4-dB gain at 94 GHz, and a broad bandwidth distributed amplifier with 5-dB gain across a frequency band of 5 to 100 GHz have been demonstrated by using the surface-undoped structures
