Sijing Cai, Hai Zhao, and  Shangjun Ying
2001, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 244-247.
Abstract:
The upper part of the Fujia deposit was mined out by open-pit, and the lower part is being mined underground. The level pillar between open-pit and underground mine had a thickness of 24 m, a length of 300 m and a maximum width of 35 m. As the level pillar contained about 5.2 million ton ore of high nickel grade, it was necessary to recover the level pillar. Because of special need of safety, underhand heading cut-and-fill stoping method was used. For the first two layers of heading, the cemented fill materials were a mix of water and high-aluminum-content cement with silicate gelling agent; and for other heading layers, total tailings was added into the fill mix in order to reduce the cement consumption. Finally, the level pillar was recovered successfully.

Guiying Xu, Changchun Ge, Yanping Gao, and  Weiping Shen
2001, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 267-269.
Abstract:
In order to investigate the adaptability of thermoelectric materials system with different barriers to functional graded thermoelectric materials, n-type Bi2Te3 and PbTe two segments graded thermoelectric materials (GTM) with different barriers were fabricated by conventional hot pressing method. Metals Cu, Al, Fe, Co and Ni were used as barriers between two segments. The effects of different barriers on thermoelectric properties of GTM were investigated. The phase and crystal structures were determined by x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The distributions of different compositions were analyzed by electron microprobe analysis (EMA). The thermoelectric properties were measured at 303 K along the direction parallel to the pressing direction. The electric conductivity of samples was measured at 303 K by the four-probe technique. To measure the Seebeck coefficient, heat was applied to the samples, which were placed between two Cu discs. The thermoelectric electromotive force (E) was measured upon applying small temperature differences (△T<275 K) between the both ends of the samples. The Seebeck coefficient of the samples was determined from the E/△T.

Guanghua Yu, Chunlin Chai, Fengwu Zhu, Jimei Xiao, and  Wuyan Lai
2001, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 270-273.
Abstract:
Ta/NTiO/NiFe/Ta multilayers were prepared by radio frequency reactive and dc magnetron sputtering. The exchange coupling field between NiO and NiFe reached 9.6 × 103 A/m. The compositions and chemical states at the interface region of NiO/NiFe were studied using the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and peak decomposition technique, The results show that there are two thermodynamically favorable reactions at NiO/NiFe interface: NiO+Fe = Ni + FeO and 3NiO+2Fe =3 Ni+Fe2O3. The thickness of the chemical reaction area estimated by angle-resolved XPS was about 1-1.5 nm. These interface reaction products appear magnetic defects, and the exchange coupling field Hex and the coereivity Hc of NiO/NiFe are affected by these defects.

Huili Fan, Jiemin Liu, Meijuan Wen, and  Weixue Tian
2001, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 274-276.
Abstract:
The preparation conditions were studied in order to obtain smaller, narrow size-distributed and low-density polystyrene (PS) micro-particles by suspension polymerization. The results show that some of preparation conditions, the shape and position of stirrers, and stirring rate etc., have important influence on the size and distribution of particles. The preparation conditions must be carefully designed and controlled in order to obtain high-quality PS beads. A bow-shaped stirrer is helpful to produce small-sized particles and narrow size distribution, and the upper edge of a stirrer should be set to the same level as the surface of mixture, and the stirring rate should be controlled in the range of 520-600 r/min.

LiWang, Yong Zang, Zhaoneng Chen, Dechun Tong, and  Jiaxiang Zou
2001, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 277-279.
Abstract:
The dynamic modal model analysis of the oil casing connection is done by finite element method (FEM), and the first nature frequency, the second nature frequency, the vibration mode shape and the time domain of the node displacement and the element stress variation in the thread connection are gotten. The Von.Mises stresses of the connection in the static and dynamic state are also studied. The results of calculation and analysis show: (1) because the maximum of static stress is at the coupling thread end of connection, the connection begins to thread off at the coupling thread end, which is in accord with the results of the thread off experiment in laboratory; (2) because the first nature frequency is very high, the probability of casing connection to be damaged from vibration is little; (3) the shock dynamic load makes casing connection begin to thread off at the tube thread end.

Chengchang Jia, Jianxin Chu, and  Qingshan Zhao
2001, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 280-282.
Abstract:
SiC composites and 40 Cr Steels were joined with Ag-Cu-Ti solder in order to develop a new method of joining ceramics to metal. Effects of solder component and process parameters on the joining strength were investigated. The results show that some chemical reactions occur on the jointing interface between ceramics and metal. Higher joining strength is achieved when titanium is 0.2% (mass fraction) in the solder. The thickness of solder also affects the joining characteristics, and 0.2-0.3 mm thickness of solder is the most suitable.

SEM In-situ Observation at Tensile Loading on Surface Inclusion in PM Rene95 Superalloy
Xiao Li, Lina Zhang, Jianxin Dong, Maicang Zhang, Yaohe Hu, and  Xishan Xie
2001, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 286-289.
Abstract:
The observation on crack initiation and propagation of surface inclusion Al2O3 in seeded PM Rene95 was conducted by SEM in-situ tension test. The results show that the cracks often initiate at the inclusion/matrix interface vertical to the applied stress direction, and easily propagate along the interface into the matrix. The interface of inclusion/matrix is just mechanically bounded on the base of SEM observation. The weak bonding of inclusion/matrix interface and stress concentration around inclusions are the main reasons of the matrix/inclusion interface debonding and local plastic deformation under the tensile loading in the in-situ tension test. Surface inclusion does not definitely lead to the failure of in-situ tension test. But the early surface crack initiation caused by ceramic inclusion is critically harmful to the LCF property of PM Rene95 superalloy, which can't be ignored.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Dealloyed Layer-induced Tensile Stress in Cu3Au
Qikai L, Yue Zhang, Mark Hoffman, and  Wuyang Chu
2001, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 295-298.
Abstract:
During stress corrosion cracking of Cu3Au alloy, there is a dealloyed layer on its surface because of preferential dissolution of Cu, and there is a linear distribution of Cu vacancy concentration in the dealloyed layer. Molecular dynamics simulation has been done on the three-dimensional crystal (about 148 000 atoms) by employing the embedded-atom method (EAM) potential. Simulation shows that Cu3Au crystal in which there is a dealloyed layer on one surface and one end is fixed will be deflected after relaxing for a long time because of a tensile stress generated at or near the dealloyed layer interface. The deflection and then the tensile stress increase with increasing the depth of dealloyed layer and the vacancy concentration in the dealloyed layer.

Improve Fractal Compression Encoding Speed Using Feature Extraction and Self-organization Network
Berthe Kya and  Yang Yang
2001, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 306-310.
Abstract:
Image compression consists of two main parts: encoding and decoding. One of the important problems of the fractal theory is the long encoding implementation time, which hindered the acceptance of fractal image compression as a practical method. The long encoding time results from the need to perform a large number of domain-range matches, the total encoding time is the product of the number of matches and the time to perform each match. In order to improve encoding speed, a hybrid method combining features extraction and self-organization network has been provided, which is based on the feature extraction approach the comparison pixels by pixels between the feature of range blocks and domains blocks. The efficiency of the new method was been proved by examples.
