Abstract

A review of the Miller, Laue and direction indices characterization was made. Excluding or allowing non-coprime indices, depending on whether the lattice is primitive or centred, were compared. The solution of the “spacing counting problem for centred lattices was proposed. It was shown that for centred lattices: (1) Laue indices nh nk nl can represent not only n-th order diffraction on (hkl) planes, but also the first order diffraction from a family of planes (nh nk nl); (2) “integral reflection conditions” are necessary, but not sufficient for the existence of given Miller indices. “Integral reflection conditions” for Laue indices hkl and other “conditions for Miller indices” (hkl) were distinguished. It was shown that in the case of centred lattices, the inference based on the value of n obtained from the equation of lattice planes, may not be correct. The homogeneity of the centred reciprocal lattices has been clarified. “Simple cubic cell with a base” as a choice of unit cell proposed by “general rule” was contrasted with: “unit cell, if not centred, must be the smallest one”. “Integral reflection conditions” for Laue indices and other, new “conditions for Miller indices”, resulting from transformation of centred lattices to unconventional primitive ones have been proposed. Examples of the not correct use of indices in the morphology and diffraction pattern descriptions were shown.

Abstract

A specified weight-cutting system for irregular solid materials such as rubber is important for industrial engineering. Currently, the workers’ experience is used, which has low accuracy and efficiency. A specified weight cutting system for irregular solid material based on 3D scanning is proposed in this paper, which aims to overcome the inaccuracy and inefficiency of the manual cutting process. Firstly, the surface of the irregular solid material is scanned by a tracking 3D laser scanner, and a triangular mesh file is generated. Secondly, the defects of the 3D model are repaired by reverse engineering, and then the 3D model file of the irregular objects is generated. Finally, the cutting position of the specified weight solid material is calculated by the calculation algorithm in UG software. In short, this research creates a new method for processing data collected by the 3D scanner, by working jointly with multiple devices and software, facilitating the cutting of irregular solid materials with specified weights. Additionally, the system has the advantage of accuracy and efficiency over the experience of workers.

Abstract

This paper deals with rotational moulding. The relationship between mould speed and wall thickness in the upper, middle and lower areas of rotational moulded parts is investigated. Young’s modulus of moulded parts is determined via static tensile testing. A static compression test is performed to determine the maximum compressive force causing strain. The test is conducted on the wall of moulded parts, parallel to the main axis of rotation. Also, energy consumption in rotational moulding is investigated for different rotational speeds of the mould. Moulded parts are made of DOWLEX®2629UE linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). Experimental results are statistically analysed using STATISTICA 13. Non-parametric statistical tests are used for results analysis. The ANOVA method is employed to determine if there are any significant differences between obtained results. The statistical tests show that the range is much narrower for a speed ratio of 4:1. The narrowest range value is obtained for 12 3 rpm. The highest Young’s modulus values are obtained for the parts moulded at 12 3 rpm (1263.33 MPa) and 16 4 rpm (1263.67 MPa). The highest maximum compressive force is obtained for the parts moulded at 12 3 rpm (10 400 N). An analysis of the results demonstrates that the part moulded at 12 3 rpm has the most advantageous properties. For this mould speed, the power consumption amounts to 8.28 kWh. Experimental results and statistical analyses demonstrate that mould speed affects both moulded part quality and energy consumption in the rotational moulding process.

Abstract

GaSe<CS(NH 2) 2<C 14H 10>> clathrate with a hierarchical subhost<host<guest>> type architecture was formed under illumination and its electrically conductive properties were studied. The method of impedance spectroscopy studied the frequency behavior of the real and imaginary parts of the complex total impedance in the range of 10 -3-10 6 Hz. The measurements were performed under normal conditions, in a permanent magnetic field (220 kA/m), or under light illumination (for a standard solar spectrum AM 1.5 G total available power is 982 W/m 2). The structure of the impurity energy spectrum at the Fermi level was investigated by the method of thermostimulated discharge in the temperature range from 240 to 340 K. Using Jebol-Pollack theoretical approaches based on impedance spectra, the parameters of the impurity energy spectrum were calculated, such as the density of states at the Fermi level, the jump radius , the scatter of trap levels near the Fermi level and the real density of deep traps. As evidenced by studies, illumination during clathrate synthesis, forms an internal electret polarization, which leads to abnormal behavior of the photoresistive effect and to the appearance of the memristive effect. The imposition of a permanent magnetic field during the measurement of complex resistance leads to the appearance of quantum capacitance.

Abstract

The current research focuses on the implementation of the fuzzy logic approach for the prediction of base pressure as a function of the input parameters. The relationship of base pressure (β ) with input parameters, namely, Mach number (M), nozzle pressure ratio (η), area ratio (α), length to diameter ratio (ξ ), and jet control (ϑ ) is analyzed. The precise fuzzy modeling approach based on Takagi and Sugeno’s fuzzy system has been used along with linear and non-linear type membership functions (MFs), to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed model. Additionally, the generated models were tested with 20 test cases that were different from the training data. The proposed fuzzy logic method removes the requirement for several trials to determine the most critical input parameters. This will expedite and minimize the expense of experiments. The findings indicate that the developed model can generate accurate predictions

Abstract

The safety and reliability of the manned airship depend to a considerable extent on its thermal performance. In this paper, heat balance equations are developed and solved in the C++ programming language. The temperature variation of the enclosure, gasbag, and nacelles of the manned airship is investigated. In addition, the effects of season, latitude, and orientation on the thermal performance of the manned airship and the airship nacelle are investigated. The results show that: (1) The average temperature difference of the nacelle surface at the same time is 25 K, while the maximum temperature difference in the nacelle is 29 K during the day, (2) the temperature distribution in the nacelle is similar in spring and autumn, with maximum temperature between 306 K and 309 K. The maximum temperature in the nacelle is between 300 K and 303 K in winter while the maximum temperature in the nacelles is between 309 K and 315 K in summer, (3) as the flight position of the manned airship changes from 20°N to 60°N, the average nacelle temperature varies slightly by about 1 K. However, as the latitude increases, the high- temperature region shifts from the bottom of the nacelle to the side of the nacelle, and (4) the temperature distribution of the upper envelope of the airship varies considerably with orientation. However, the average temperature of the nacelle is less impacted by orientation. These results are useful for understanding the thermal performance of manned airships.

Abstract

In this paper the controllability properties of the convex linear combination of fractional, linear, discrete-time systems are characterized and investigated. The notions of linear convex combination and controllability in the context of fractional-order systems are recalled. Then, the controllability property of such a linear combination of discrete-time, linear fractional systems is proven. Further, the reduction of an infinite problem of transition matrix derivation is reduced to a finite one, which greatly simplifies the numerical burden of the controllability issue. Examples of controllable and uncontrollable, single-input, linear systems are presented. The possibility of extension of the considerations to multi-input systems is shown.
