    2014, 35 (1):  47-50.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.011
    Abstract ( 529 )   HTML   PDF (1578KB) ( 627 )  
    The ferrite in twinroll cast strips with different P contents was analyzed by the observation of the microstructure. The results showed that the volume fraction of ferrite in the cast strip was obviously more than that in the cast billet with the same P content. In a cast strip, the volume fraction of ferrite in the surface layer was less than that in the center area, and the ferrite in the surface layer was reduced with the reduction of the P content. The morpology of the ferrite in the cast strip was gradually transformed from the acicular form into the polygonal form with smooth surface with the increase of the P content. Through the theoretical analysis, it was shown that the rapid cooling favored ferrite stabilizing in steels, and the polygonal ferrite with smooth surface directly precipitated from the liquid steel while the acicular ferrite precipitated from the solid austenite.

    Abstract ( 765 )   HTML   PDF (357KB) ( 694 )  
    Material balance and heat balance equations in COREX smelting reduction process were established by taking the principle of Rist operating line in blast furnace for reference. As the mainly raw materials, lump coal with high volatile would generate large amounts of H2 during the splitting decomposition in the process. Therefore, the influences of H2 on the Rist operating lines of the upper shaft furnace and the lower melter gasifier must be considered. Through the thermodynamic calculation, the mathematic model of Rist operating lines for the whole COREX process was established by an combination of the upper and the lower operating line. Several methods for decreasing the consumption of COREX fuels were proposed, such as improving melting rate, changing the charging fuel structure and so on. The calculation results showed that when the inferiority coke was used for COREX instead of lump coal, the fuel and oxygen saving reached 1747kg and 188% in theory, respectively.

    Abstract ( 612 )   HTML   PDF (404KB) ( 629 )  
    The traditional reliability analysis method of huge data samples cannot be applied to life prediction of the special equipments because of lacking failure samples. Prior information of reliability estimation can be calculated according to the failure data from laboratory during designing and precious records of similar products. Then, the reliability estimation modal was built based on Bayes theorem combining prior information with small samples from field test, and the posterior distribution was obtained. Taking the main beam deflection of overhead travelling crane as one measurable potential failure mode, reliable life prediction of twocycle is realized, i. e. the work time from deflection zero to potential failures and work time from potential failures to functional failure are calculated. The research provides not only some theoretical basis for the main beam inspection and maintenance but also a reference for reliable life prediction and risk prevention of special equipments which lack failure data from factory and laboratory.

    WANG Zehong, WANG Huai, LI Guofeng, YU Fujia
    2014, 35 (1):  112-116.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.026
    Abstract ( 716 )   HTML   PDF (670KB) ( 605 )  
    Using Z164D as grinding aid, the Bond work index of ball mill experiments and the uniaxial compressive strength experiments of bauxite from Tianyang Guangxi were carried out separately. The results showed that compared with raw ore, the Bond work index of bauxite soaked with water and Z164D solution are decreased by 105% and 379%, and the uniaxial compressive strength are reduced by 2684% and 4279%, respectively. The physical and chemical adsorption between Z164D and bauxite surface are confirmed through the analysis of IR spectra and energy dispersive Xray spectroscopy, and Z164D cannot dip into bauxite inners. A function mechanism model of the effect of Z164D solution on bauxite strength is built, where water and Z164D promote each other to increase defects of bauxite and lower its strength.

    Finite Element Analysis of Transient Unloading and Plastic Zone Distribution in Surrounding Rock
    WEI Jiong, ZHU Wancheng, NIU Leilei, WEI Chenhui
    2014, 35 (1):  117-121.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.027
    Abstract ( 908 )   HTML   PDF (969KB) ( 824 )  
    Up to now, the tensile failure in highly stressed rock after excavation, resulted from unloading, is a common phenomenon, but not well theoretically explained yet. Taking the unloading as a dynamic process, a plasticity model for transient unloading was developed to study the failure mechanism in the surrounding rock based on the theory of continuum elastoplasticity using the finite element analysis (FEA) with a commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics. The results show that excavation can trigger strong disturbance in surrounding rock due to the transient release of insitu stress. The stress redistribution is a dynamic process transiting from dynamic stress response to quasistatic stress condition. The transient unloading can cause tensile stress near the excavation surface. Although the duration of transient tensile stress is short, its amplitude is small and the affected domain is limited, the tensile stress may result in tensile failure because the uniaxial tensile strength of rock is far lower than its compressive strength. It is also denoted that the lateral inertia effect may be one reason for this phenomenon.

    GUO Jiateng, WU Lixin, YANG Yizhou, ZHOU Wenhui
    2014, 35 (1):  122-125.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.028
    Abstract ( 647 )   HTML   PDF (990KB) ( 901 )  
    Based on several kinds of geotechnical engineering information obtained from multiple sources and different structures, such as drilling hole detection, standard penetration test, topographic surveying etc., a series of specific methods for data preprocessing, integral modeling, 3D visualization and information management of the engineering sites were intensively inverstigated. Based on these methods, a software was developed, by which the stereo space of a geotechnical engineering site, including spatial objects such as topography, buildings, boreholes, stratum, groundwater etc., can be integrally modeled and visualized with threedimensional models. These 3D models can facilitate functions such as attribute query, information updating and section analysis. The 3D integral modeling software was proposed as a new pattern of geotechnical engineering report beyond traditional 2D report. The software has been applied to several geotechnical projects, whose results demonstrate that the stereo space model of a geotechnical engineering site can be automatically and conveniently reconstructed. The 3D integral modeling and visualization methodology presented contribute a lot to 3D information technology development of geotechnical engineering.

    LI Gang, YU Yunjiang, SHANG Rongxue, YUAN Chunmiao
    2014, 35 (1):  126-130.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.029
    Abstract ( 691 )   HTML   PDF (686KB) ( 700 )  
    A rotating friction test device was set up based on the GB13813 to investigate the ignition regularities of methane, air and coal dust. The observation via high speed camera and infrared thermography shows that the methane/air mixture is ignited by titanium particle spark during the friction process of A3 steel and titanium bar. A set of experiments, using lignite, bituminous and anthracite with 3 kinds of particle diameters, were conducted to test the influence of coal dust on the ignition of methane/air mixture. It is found that the ignition delay time gets longer when introducing coal dust and smaller particle can cause longer delay time. The ignition delay time for the three kinds of coal from short to long is bituminous, anthracite and lignite, which accords with the water content in the sample. The delay time has nothing to do with the volatile of the coal.

    GUO Fu, YU Cong, DING Yi
    2014, 35 (1):  131-134.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.030
    Abstract ( 657 )   HTML   PDF (323KB) ( 1173 )  
    Targeted at the difficulity in measuring objectively users’ emotions in interacting with webs,a method was proposed by using eye movement data. Firstly,the PAD scale in Chinese and the initial eye movement indexes were selected,the representative webs were chosen through a questionnaire,and the interaction tasks were designed. Secondly,the users’ eye movement and PAD data were obtained through an experiment. Then the eye movement indexes related to emotions were determined after the variance homogeneity test and oneway ANOVA,placing emotional classification as the influential factor. Finally,the relational models between eye movement data and users’ emotions were constructed with the partial least square method,and the effectiveness and adaptability of the models were verified. The results indicated that the models have good performances in measuring web users’ emotions.

    HUANG Weiqiang, ZHUANG Xintian, YAO Shuang
    2014, 35 (1):  135-138.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.031
    Abstract ( 858 )   HTML   PDF (347KB) ( 643 )  
    By integrating the traditional econometrical methods with the complex network modeling and analyzing methods, the information spillover relationships among industries of Chinese stock market and the individual industry information spillover abilities as well as their distributions were empirically studied. The results indicated that the returns term does not exert any effect on the information spillover among industries. The market factors significantly strengthen the bilateral information spillover effects among industries and significantly weaken the unilateral information spillover effects among industries. The information spillover effects tend to be strengthened or weakened with the ups and downs of the market. The individual industry’s information spillover ability takes on the distribution of a higher peak and a fat tail. Furthermore, with the MST (minimal spanning tree) method, the rules of information spillover among industries can be found quickly and effectively.

    Study on the Relationship Between Investors’ Sentiment and Stock Returns
    JIN Xiu, ZOU Jie
    2014, 35 (1):  139-142.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.032
    Abstract ( 722 )   HTML   PDF (387KB) ( 1941 )  
    By constructing the investors’ sentiment index and applying the linear and nonlinear Granger causality tests, the relationships between investors’ sentiment and stock returns at different market states were studied. The empirical results showed that there is a oneway linear causality relationship and a significant twoway nonlinear causality relationship in the whole sample period; therefore, the relationship between investors’ sentiment and stock returns can be understood more comprehensively by using the nonlinear causality test. The nonlinear causality relationships between them at the bull and bear market states are different, which is consistent with the reality of China’s stock market, the one filled with irrational sentiments.

    ZHAO Bingjun, ZHANG Lin
    2014, 35 (1):  144-148.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.033
    Abstract ( 739 )   HTML   PDF (646KB) ( 704 )  
    The structural changes of a binary metal Au24Cu19 cluster containing 24 gold atoms and 19 copper atoms on quenching and continuously cooling procedure were studied by NVT moleculardynamics simulations within the framework based on the embeddedatom method. On the analysis of average potential energy per atom, pair numbers of the main atom bond, and the atom packing structure varying with the temperature, the clusters presented the configuration that the inner part was the copper atoms, coated with the gold atoms and a few of copper atoms with the decrease of the temperature. At the relative high temperature regime, the pair numbers presented highlow vibration changes during the process of quenching, whereas they presented lowhigh vibration changes during the continuously cooling process. At the relative low temperature regime until 400K, the pair numbers were changed synchronously under both cooling conditions.

    Study of AudioFrequency Internal Friction in BakeHardening Steel
    YU Ning, LIU Yonggang, ZHAN Hua, JI Jingwen
    2014, 35 (1):  149-152.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2014.01.034
    Abstract ( 584 )   HTML   PDF (684KB) ( 562 )  
    The internal frictions from 290 to 630K in the H180 steel specimens hotrolled or baked for various time were measured under different conditions with and without a magnetic field (magnetic field strength is 300Oe) using an audiofrequency internal friction instrument. It is found that there are two clear peaks of internal friction in all the Q-1T curves, and that the first peak appears at about 362K, while the other one occurs at about 474K (measurement frequencies are 2300~2150Hz). With increasing baking time, the first peak continuously decreases but the second peak increases. Analysis demonstrates that the first peak is the Snoek peak and the second one is the B peak. A comparison of the internal frictions measured with and without a magnetic field shows that the background internal friction measured under a magnetic field is higher than that measured without a magnetic field. Such a background internal friction is enhanced under the present audiofrequency measurements, but it decreases with increasing the measurement temperature.
