Abstract:
The main aim has been to investigate the effect of process parameters on the spray forming of UDIMET 720 and in particular to understand the mechanism of grain size evolution in the deposit using a combination of experimental and computer modelling techniques. Samples of two spray formed Ni superalloys, MAR-M-002 and UDIMET 720, have been re-heated into the solid/liquid region and the fully solid region just below the solidus temperature for a series of times to try and reproduce the situation of grain growth in a spray formed deposit. Grain growth in the solid/liquid region follows the equation: d3=d03 +Kt, where d is the grain size, d0 is the initial grain size, K is the coarsening rate constant and t is the time. Coarsening rate constants have been determined for temperatures in the solid/liquid region and they increase with increasing temperature/decreasing solid fraction. Existing spray forming equipment for Al alloys has been modified to manufacture UDIMET 720 deposits. Process conditions were monitored continually during spray forming, in particular the temperature of the deposit by embedded thermocouples and infra red thermal imaging of the deposit top surface. Above a deposit temperature of ≈1250°C the microstructure consists of equiaxed fine grains (20μm-35μm) and the porosity is low (<1%). Below this deposit temperature the microstructure consists of droplet "splats" and the porosity is higher (2-4%). The measure grain size increases with increasing deposit temperature and solidification time and agrees reasonably well with the predicted grain size using the above equation. A commercial finite difference based fluid dynamics software program, FLUENT, has been used to model the 2-dimensional dynamic and thermal behaviour of UDIMET 720 droplets during gas atomisation and spray forming. The effect of atomising gas pressure, spray distance and melt mass flow rate on the equilibrated droplet spray temperature has been examined and shows similar variations with process parameters as the measured maximum deposit temperature. The predicted spray temperature at the substrate is always higher than the measured maximum deposit temperatures under all conditions, and increases with (i) decreasing gas pressure, (ii) decreasing spray distance and (iii) increasing MFR. Mean droplet temperatures and velocities are strongly dependent on droplet size, the mean droplet temperature decreases and mean droplet axial velocities increases with decreasing droplet size.

Abstract:
Manufacturing of aero engine components requires attention to residual stress and final shape of the product in order to meet high quality product standards.This sets very high demands on involved manufacturing steps to meet design requirements. Simulation of manufacturing processes can therefore be animportant tool to contribute to quality assurance.The focus in this work is on simulation of a manufacturing process chain comprising of sheet metal forming, welding and a stress relief heat treatment.Simulation of sheet metal forming can be used to design a forming tool design that accounts for the material behaviour, e.g. spring back, and avoid problems such as wrinkling, thinning and cracking. Moreover, the simulation can also show how the material is stretched and work hardened. The residual stresses after forming may be of local character or global depending on the shape that is formed. However, the heat affected zone due to welding is located near the weld.The weld also causes large residual stresses with the major component along the weld. It is found that the magnitude of the residual stresses after welding is affected by remaining stresses from the previous sheet metal forming. The final stress relieve treatment will relax these residual stresses caused by e.g. forming and welding. However, this causes additional deformations.The main focus of this study is on how a manufacturing process step affects the subsequent step when manufacturing a component of the nickel-based super alloy 718. The chosen route and geometry is a simplified leading edge of an exhaust case guide vane. The simulations were validated versus experiments. The computed deformations were compared with measurements after each manufacturing step. The overall agreement between experiments and measurement was good. However, not sufficiently accurate considering the required tolerance of the component. It was found from simulations that the residual stresses after each process affects the subsequent step. After a complete manufacturing process chain which ends with a stress relief heat treatment the residual stresses were not negligible. VIII Special experiments were performed for studying the stress relief in order to understand how the stresses evolve through the heat treatment cycle during relaxation. It was found that the stresses were reduced already during the beginning of the heating up sequence due to decreasing Young´s modulus and yield stress with increasing temperature. Relaxation due to creep starts when a certain temperature was reached which gave a permanent stress relief.

Abstract:
PERNA, NICHOLAS (D.M.A., Vocal Pedagogy and Performance) Effects of Nasalance on the Acoustical Properties of the (May 2008) Tenor Passaggio and Head Voice Abstract of a doctoral essay at the University of Miami. Doctoral essay supervised by Professor David Alt and Professor Rachel L. Lebon. No. of pages in text. (73) This study aims to measure the effect that nasality has on the acoustical properties of the tenor passaggio and head voice. Not to be confused with forward resonance, nasality here will be defined as nasalance, the reading of a Nasometer, or the percentage of nasal and oral airflow during phonation. A previous study by Peer Birch et. al. has shown that professional tenors used higher percentages of nasalance through their passaggio. They hypothesized that tenors used nasalance to make slight timbral adjustments as they ascended through passaggio. Other well respected authors including Richard Miller and William McIver have claimed that teaching registration issues is the most important component of training young tenors. It seemed logical to measure the acoustic effects of nasalance on the tenor passaggio and head voice. Eight professional operatic tenors participated as subjects performing numerous vocal exercises that demonstrated various registration events. These examples were recorded and analyzed using a Nasometer and Voce Vista Pro Software. Tenors did generally show an increase of nasalance during an ascending B-flat major scale on the vowels [i] and [u]. Perhaps the most revealing result was that six of seven tenors showed at least a 5-10% increase in nasalance on the note after their primary register transition on the vowel of [a]. It is suggested that this phenomenon receive further empirical scrutiny, because, if true, pedagogues could use nasalance as a tool for helping a young tenor ascend through his passaggio.

Abstract:
Aluminum based alloys have wide area of usage in automotive and defense industry and bending processes are frequently applied during production. One of the most important design criteria of bending processes is springback, which can be basically defined as elastic recovery of the part during unloading. To overcome this problem, heat treatment is generally applied to the workpiece material to refine tensile properties. In this study, the effect of heat treatment on springback characteristics of aluminum studied both numerically by using finite element analysis and experimentally. For this purpose, two different materials are selected and various heat treatment procedures are considered. The aluminum sheets having thickness of 1.6 mm, 2 mm and 2.5 mm are bent to 60&

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the heat evolution duringsolidification and its relation to the formation of porosity.It intends to improve the current understanding of theformation of porosity in cast materials with special interestin nodular cast iron and the spray forming process. Twodifferent systems, a Fe-based alloy, Cast iron, and a Ni-basedalloy, Inconel 625, are examined. The effect on the heatevolution of the morphology and the processing parameters inspray forming are treated.

An evaluation of the microstructural features, segregationbehavior and physical properties such as latent heat of fusionis performed byusing thermal analysis under cooling ratesranging from 0.1 to 104 K/s. In order to achieve this amodified differential thermal analysis (DTA) equipment, amirror furnace and levitation casting are used. Results arepresented in terms of the fraction of solidified, the coolingrate and the microstructure observed. The measured latent heatof fusion is not constant throughout the solidificationprocess. Variations in morphology and cooling rate affect therelease of the latent heat.

A thermodynamic model is used to describe the experimentalobservations and to explain the formation of pores in nodularcast iron by taking into consideration the formation of latticedefects during the liquid/solid transformation. In this casethe formation of porosity is regarded as a consequence ofchanges in the volume fraction ratio graphite/ during thesolidification process.

A numerical model of the spray forming process is developedby means of CFD modelling and compared with experimentalmeasurements performed in an industrial facility. Stagnationpressure measurements provided information about the gas flowvelocity and an analysis of the overspray powder providedinformation about the particle thermal history. Evaluation ofthe deposit was also performed. It is observed that the processconditions in spray forming promote non-equilibriumsolidification even though solidification at the deposit occursat a lower rate. In this case the porosity formed near theinterface substrate/deposit depends largely on the substratetemperature. The presence of certain reactive elements, such astitanium, affects the porosity levels in the rest of thedeposit.

Abstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est de proposer deux approches complémentaires de modélisation et de simulation numériques des procédés de mise en forme de structures minces. La première est une approche inverse multi-pas, délibérément simplifiée, pour simuler et "optimiser" rapidement et à moindre coût des procédés d’emboutissage de tôles minces, tout en maintenant une bonne précision dans le calcul des contraintes. Un solveur statique implicite est développé en introduisant plusieurs configurations intermédiaires construites efficacement en utilisant une technique de programmation quadratique avec projection. La deuxième approche, de nature incrémentale, repose sur (i) une formulation d’équations de bilan et d’équations de comportement multi-physiques fortement couplés formulées dans le cadre des milieux micromorphes ; (ii) une discrétisation spatiale par EF et temporelle par DF avec un solveur global dynamique explicite et une intégration locale itérative implicite. Une attention particulière est accordée aux aspects thermiques avec l’introduction d’une microtempérature et ses premiers gradients conduisant à l’obtention de deux équations thermiques fortement couplées généralisant de nombreux modèles non locaux proposés dans la littérature. L'approche inverse multi-pas a été implémentée dans le code maison KMAS et l’approche incrémentale non locale a été implémentée dans ABAQUS/Explicit. Des études paramétriques sont menées et des validations sur des exemples simples et sur des procédés d’emboutissage sont réalisées
The aim of this thesis is to propose two complementary approaches for modeling and numerical simulations of thin sheet metal forming processes. The first one is a deliberately simplified multi-step inverse approach to simulate and "optimize" rapidly and inexpensively thin-sheet stamping processes while maintaining good accuracy in the stress calculation. An implicit static solver is developed by introducing several efficiently constructed intermediate configurations using a quadratic programming technique with projection. The second approach, which is of an incremental nature, is based on (i) a formulation of equilibrium equations and strongly coupled multiphysical behavior equations formulated in the context of micromorphic continua; (ii) spatial discretization by FEM and time discretization by FD with an explicit dynamic global solver and implicit iterative local integration scheme. Particular attention is paid to the nonlocal thermal aspects with the introduction of a micro-temperature and its first gradients leading to two strongly coupled thermal equations generalizing several thermal nonlocal models proposed in the literature. The multi-step inverse approach was implemented in the KMAS in house code while the nonlocal incremental approach was implemented in ABAQUS/Explicit. Parametric studies are performed and validations are carried out on simple examples and on deep drawing processes

Abstract:
A novel necking prediction model was developed and verified that could be utilised in finite element (FE) simulations for optimisation of high temperature forming processes parameters, such that a successful component could be formed. The temperature-dependent time-based model combines viscoplastic equations, the Hosford yield criterion and the Marciniak and Kuczynski formulation, and is able to capture the effects of varying temperature, strain rate and strain path on the formability of a material. The results of high temperature uniaxial tension tests and isothermal formability tests on the aluminium alloy AA6082 were used for calibration, although the developed model could be similarly calibrated for alternative aluminium alloys. The capability of the model, which could also be run independently, was demonstrated by applying it in a simulation of the solution Heat treatment, Forming and in-die Quenching (HFQ) process for a complex-shaped stiffener component in the commercial FE software PAM-STAMP. The component depth at which severe necking would occur was successfully predicted, and was in agreement with the results of the experimental HFQ trials. The model was subsequently used for the blank shape optimisation of a door inner panel component; the final optimised blank shape was formed experimentally, with the resulting component being free of any cracks and incidences of necking. By decoupling the necking prediction model from the process simulations, significant savings in computational time could be made by selecting only the critical regions in the component where the model would be run. Additionally, the computation could be spread across multiple work stations simultaneously to improve the efficiency of the calculations. The adopted simulation methodology could be expanded further by having multiple independent models that cover other aspects of a forming process such as friction and microstructural evolution.

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre o efeito dos processos de recalque a frio e aquecimento por indução eletromagnética sobre as características da microestrutura e dureza do material de tubo de aço sem costura que é utilizado no transporte de fluxo de combustível em sistema de injeção de alta pressão. Por conduzir combustível, a característica de vedação é crítica para as interfaces de montagem destes tubos. Esta interface tem perfil cônico gerado pelo processo de recalque. A microestrutura obtida na região de vedação pode influenciar na dureza do material devido à conformação plástica ocasionada durante processo de recalque de perfil. Os valores de microdureza observados na região de recalque tendem a estar acima da dureza encontrada no material antes da conformação. Este acréscimo de dureza pode influenciar na vedação ocasionando vazamentos, caso o perfil cônico não tenha acomodação uniforme com o perfil da contra-peça, sendo esta o ""rail"" de distribuição ou a bomba de alta pressão de combustível. O processo de aquecimento por indução pode em condições controladas proporcionar alteração da microestrutura e dureza do material, conforme aquecimento e resfriamento desejados.
Abstract: This paper presents a study about the effect of cold upsetting and electromagnetic induction heating on microstructure and hardness characteristics of steel seamles pipe. This pipe studied is applied in fuel flow transport of high pressure fuel system. As fuel is transported the pipe sealing characteristic is critical on assembly interfaces of this pipe. This interface has conic profile produced at upsetting process. The hardness values observed on cold upsetting pipe has a trend to be higher than raw material. There microstructure changed can cause leakage if sealing contact area between conic profile of components has not accommodation enough, being high pressure pump or "rail". The hardness increase can reduce this sealing contact reducing deformation after tight-fitting. The induction heating process under controlled conditions can furnish change of microstructure and hardness material suitable for leak-tightness.

Abstract:
O processo de conformação por spray é interessante devido à capacidade de conjugar, em apenas uma etapa do processo, a vantagem da técnica de solidificação rápida combinada com alta produtividade dos processos de fundição convencional. Este processo permite a obtenção de materiais livre de macrossegregações, livre de porosidades e com microestrutura refinada. A evolução recente das pesquisas está levando ao desenvolvimento de novas ligas e os resultados têm sido interessantes. O processo de solidificação rápida inerente da conformação por spray permite a produção de ligas com composições diferentes das obtidas pela fundição convencional. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de caracterizar mecanicamente uma liga de alumínio AA-6082 conformada por spray. Os resultados de testes de dureza Vickers são apresentados para seções de um preformado em relação a sua altura (em um arranjo tridimensional). O material foi avaliado na condição como conformado por spray e após tratamento térmico de solubilização a 525 ºC por 1 h, seguido por envelhecimento a 125 ºC por períodos distintos de 1 h, 10 h, 100 h e 500 h. É mostrado que o a liga AA 6082 conformada por spray mostra uma boa estabilidade térmica em relação a variação da dureza durante o envelhecimento.
The spray forming technology combines in a single step the advantages of the rapid solidification techniques and high the productivity of the conventional casting processes, allowing obtention of preforms with a refined microstructure, almost without porosity and macrosegregation free. The development and research efforts are leading to interesting alloys and materials production. The rapid solidification processes inherent to the spray forming allow the production of alloys with different compositions from those obtained by conventional ingot processes. The aim of this work was to carry out mechanical properties characterization of a spray formed AA-6082 alloy. The hardness results are presented in different sections related to the height of the spray formed preform (in a three-dimensional arrangement). The material was evaluated in the as sprayed condition and after heat treatment of solution at 525 ºC for 1 h, and aging for 1 h, 10 h, 100 h and 500 h periods. It was shown that the spray formed AA-6082 aluminum alloy is very stable regarding hardness variation during aging.

Abstract:
Les travaux de cette thèse s'insèrent dans le cadre de l'étude de défauts détectés par contrôle ultrason dans des pièces forgées en alliage d'aluminium destinées à l'industrie aéronautique.Cette étude a été menée sur deux pièces produites par Aubert&Duval en alliage d'aluminium 7050 fourni par Constellium. Ces pièces ont été sélectionnées sur base d'une étude statistique de l'occurrence des défauts sur cinq années de production industrielle. L'une présente un taux de rebut important du fait de ces défauts, l'autre un taux de rebut quasiment nul, bien qu'elles soient produites avec le même matériau.L'étude de l'origine des défauts a été construite autour de deux axes de recherche:* Axe thermomécanique : formation des défauts pendant la mise en forme par endommagement ductile à chaud.* Axe matériau : caractérisation des défauts préexistants dans le matériau après son élaboration et non refermés pendant la mise en forme.L'axe thermomécanique est basé sur la simulation numérique des gammes de mise en forme des pièces industrielles à l'aide du logiciel Forge® 2009. Le deuxième axe est articulé autour de la caractérisation de l'état de porosité dans un matériau modèle présentant une teneur en hydrogène élevée induisant un taux de porosité plus important que le matériau sain utilisé industriellement. De petits lopins de ce matériau modèle ont été soumis à une campagne de compression alternée simulant le forgeage industriel. La campagne de compression a été conçue par simulation numérique afin de reproduire les conditions thermomécaniques industrielles. Deux techniques de caractérisation complémentaires ont été mises en œuvre pour suivre l'évolution de la porosité : détection indirecte par contrôle ultrason à haute résolution spatiale et observations directes par microscopie électronique à balayage. Une méthode d'analyse quantitative des signaux ultrasonores a été mise au point pour ce travail.La comparaison par simulation numérique du procédé de matriçage des deux pièces industrielles étudiées a permis d'écarter l'hypothèse de la création des défauts par endommagement ductile à chaud. Lors du matriçage, la matière est soumise à des chargements globalement compressifs, et le risque d'endommagement est par conséquent très faible. De plus, comme observé lors de la caractérisation des défauts industriels, les défauts présentent un fond lisse, similaire au fond lisse observé sur les rares porosités présentes dans le matériau industriel à l'état brut d'élaboration. Le même type de fond lisse caractérise également les porosités présentes dans le matériau modèle. Cette observation favorise l'hypothèse de défauts provenant d'un défaut préexistant dans le matériau initial (en l'occurrence à partir d'une porosité). Cette hypothèse est par ailleurs cohérente avec le comportement des porosités lors de la simulation du forgeage sur petits lopins du matériau modèle.Les résultats de cette étude montrent en effet que les porosités ont tendance à s'aplatir et à se refermer pendant la déformation plastique à chaud, sans forcément cicatriser. Les faciès de rupture d'échantillons soumis à de fortes déformations cumulées et ne donnant plus de réponse ultrasonore significative continuent en effet de présenter de petites plages à fond lisse qui témoignent d'une cicatrisation incomplète. Le traitement thermique semble en outre favoriser la réouverture des porosités non cicatrisées (zones lisses) pendant la déformation et leur élargissement (zones ductiles).

Le thermoformage non-isotherme de composites thermoplastiques, qui consiste à chauffer une préforme consolidée à une température supérieure à la fusion de la matrice avant de la transférer dans une presse d’estampage, est un procédé bien adapté à la production grande série de pièces structurelles pour l’industrie automobile (avec des temps de cycle < 1 min). L’utilisation d’outils numériques pour prédire l’apparition de défauts en fonction des paramètres procédés utilisés est d’un grand intérêt pour éviter l’emploi de procédures d’optimisation expérimentales couteuses de type essais/erreur. Ces travaux de thèse ont porté sur le développement d’une simulation de la mise en forme de composites poudrés PA66/verre, incluant la modélisation explicite de l’étape de préchauffage infrarouge, afin d’étudier l’effet de l’homogénéité du champ de température sur la présence de défauts de forme. Les propriétés thermophysiques et optiques du matériau ont été caractérisées expérimentalement à deux niveaux de consolidation. La structure du matériau non consolidé conduit à un chauffage moins uniforme, comparé à une préforme préconsolidée. Un modèle éléments finis, basé sur la méthode des radiosités pour la prise en compte des transferts radiatifs a été utilisé pour simuler l’étape de préchauffage ; la démarche a été validée par comparaison avec des essais menés sur un pilote de four infrarouge. L’effet de l’affaissement de la préforme sur la distribution de température a été évalué numériquement, et une procédure d’optimisation pour déterminer les paramètres du four en fonction d’un champ de température requis a été présentée. Le comportement mécanique du composite tissé a été modélisé à l’échelle macroscopique par une loi hypoélastique, implémentée dans Abaqus/Explicit. Les paramètres du modèle ont été déterminés à l’aide d’essais en traction et cisaillement en fonction de la température et de la vitesse de sollicitation. Des simulations non-isothermes de la mise en forme de pièces hémisphériques ont été réalisées, et montrent un bon accord avec les données expérimentales obtenues à l’aide d’un pilote de formage à l’échelle laboratoire
Non-isothermal thermoforming of thermoplastic composites, in which a preconsolidated blank is heated above the melting temperature of the matrix before being formed in a press, is a process well adapted to the high production rates of automotive structural parts, allowing for cycle times < 1 min. Numerical tools to predict the apparition of manufacturing-induced defects based on the process parameters used are of an obvious industrial interest to avoid relying on a cost and time intensive trial-and-error approach. This thesis focused on the development of a comprehensive simulation of the forming of powder-impregnated PA66/glass composites, modelling explicitly the infrared preheating step to investigate the effect of temperature homogeneity on shape defects. The thermophysical and optical properties of the material were characterized experimentally at two levels of consolidation, and as a function of temperature when relevant. The structure of the non-consolidated material leads to a less uniform heating, compared to preconsolidated blanks. A finite element model based on the radiosity method to compute the radiative heat transfer was used to simulate the preheating step; this approach was validated against experimental results from a custom-built infrared oven. The model has been used to investigate the effect of blank sag on temperature distribution, and an optimization method to determine the oven parameters based on a desired temperature field has been presented. The mechanical behaviour of the woven composite during forming was modelled with a hypoelastic continuum approach, implemented in Abaqus/Explicit. The model parameters were determined from experimental tensile tests and in-plane shear tests at various temperatures and shear rates. Non-isothermal simulations of the forming of hemispherical parts were conducted, using the temperature field predicted from the preheating simulation as an input, and showed good agreement with that observed on parts formed on a lab-scale thermoforming setup

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to synthesize and characterize new bulk amorphous alloys in the Ni- based systems. Theoretical studies on the basis of semi-empirical rules and the electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation has been provided in order to predict the impurity elements that will lead to an increase in the glass forming ability of Ni-based alloy systems. Glass forming ability of ten different compositions of alloys of Ni-Nb, Ni-Fe, Ni-B, Ni-Hf and Ni-Cr was simulated by using FORTRAN programs based on pseudopotential theory. In addition to the binary alloys, ternary alloys, which were formed by addition of 1 at% of third element to these systems, were also simulated. Since ordering energy is an indicator of glass forming ability, theoretical studies allowed to predict the effect of various third elements on the formation of amorphous phase. Furthermore, ordering energies were also used to calculate other parameters important for glass forming ability. In the second part of the study, on the basis of theoretical results, a series of casting experiments were done. Different compositions of Ni-Nb, Ni-Nb-Sn and Ni-Nb-Al alloys were cast in the centrifugal casting machine. Alloys were melted in alumina crucibles and cast into the copper moulds. Characterizations of cast alloys were done by the use of Metallography, SEM, XRD and DSC. Fully amorphous Ni52Nb41Al7 alloy was synthesized in bulk form with 0.8 mm thickness.

This thesis looks for the causes of cracks in bicycle rims in the most stressed areas (in places holes for wires). For this reason, in this work is the stress and strain analysis of a simple model of the rim to the working load is given and further the complete production process of the rim is described. As an experimental material were used rims from different producers of aluminum alloy EN AW 6061 and EN AW 6082 T6 temper, in which a crack started to spread. For assessment of rims materials the methods of optical spectroscopy, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Vickers hardness test were used and for finding another crack penetration test was performed. Based on the performed experiments bad design solution of rivets was found in the rim 1. Broken rivets initiated fatigue cracks. Material of rim 1 was alright. The other two rims were deficiencies in materials. For the rim 2 was a problem with coarse-grained recrystallized structure. The insufficiently rapid cooling for the rim 3 caused exclusion hardening phase (particularly copper phase) at grain boundaries. Moreover, the rim 3 is not cured to the required parameters. Aluminium alloys are an ideal material for bicycle rims. However, they require reliable design solutions and meeting the physical metallurgy, which lies in the knowledge and use of influences of chemical composition, forming and heat treatment on mechanical, chemical, physical and technological properties.

Abstract:

Energy is one of the basic needs of human beings and is extremely crucial for continued development of human life. Our work, leisure and our economic, social and physical welfare all depend on the sufficient, uninterrupted supply of energy. Therefore, it is essential to provide adequate and affordable energy for improving human welfare and raising living standards. Global concern over environmental climate change linked to fossil fuel consumption has increased pressure to generate power from renewable sources [1]. Although substantial advances in renewable energy technologies have been made, significant challenges remain in developing integrated renewable energy systems due primarily to mismatch between load demand and source capabilities [2]. The output from renewable energy sources such as photo-voltaic, wind, tidal, and micro-hydro fluctuate on an hourly, daily, and seasonal basis. As a result, these devices are not well suited for directly powering loads that require a uniform and uninterrupted supply of input energy.

Abstract:
Das Hauptresultat dieser Arbeit ist ein regularisierter arithmetischer Satz von Riemann-Roch für ein hermitesches Geradenbündel, die isometrisch zum Geradenbündel den Spitzenformen vom geraden Gewicht ist, auf eine arithmetische Fläche, deren komplexe Faser isometrisch zu einer hyperbolischen Riemannschen Fläche ohne elliptische Punkte ist. Der Beweis des Resultats erfolgt durch metrische Degeneration: Wir regularisieren die betreffenden Metriken in einer Umgebung der Singularitäten, wenden dann den arithmetischen Riemann-Roch-Satz von Gillet und Soulé an und lassen schließlich den Parameter gegen Null gehen. Durch die metrische Degeneration entsteht auf beiden Seiten der Formel ein divergenter Term. Die asymptotische Entwicklung der Divergenz berechnet sich auf der einen Seite direkt aus der Definition der glatten arithmetischen Selbstschnittzahlen. Der divergente Term auf der anderen Seite ist die zeta-regularisierte Determinante des zu den regularisierten Metriken assoziierten Laplace-Operators, der auf den 1-Formen mit Werten in dem betrachteten hermitischen Geradenbündel operiert. Wir definieren und berechnen zuerst eine Regularisiereung des entsprechenden zu den singulären Metriken assoziierten Laplace-Operators; diese wird später im regularisierten Riemann-Roch-Satz auftauchen. Zu diesem Zweck passen wir Ideen von Jorgenson-Lundelius, D'Hoker-Phong und Sarnak auf die vorliegende Situation an und verallgemeinern diese. Schließlich beweisen wir eine Formel für den zum betrachteten hermitischen Geradenbündel assoziierten Wärmeleitungskern auf der Diagonalen bei einer Modellspitze. Diese Darstellung steht im Zusammenhang mit einer Entwicklung nach zur Whittaker-Gleichung assoziierten Eigenfunktionen, die im Anhang bewiesen wird. Weitere Abschätzungen des zum betrachteten hermitischen Geradenbündel gehörigen Wärmeleitungskern auf der komplexe Faser der arithmetischen Fläche schließen den Beweis des Hauptresultats ab.
The main result of the dissertation is an arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem for the hermitian line bundle of cusp form of given even integer weights on an arithmetic surface whose complex fiber is isometric to an hyperbolic Riemann surface without elliptic points. The proof proceeds by metric degeneration: We regularize the metric under consideration in a neighborhood of the singularities, then we apply the arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem of Gillet and Soulé, and finally we let the parameter go to zero. Both sides of the formula blow up through metric degeneration. On one side the exact asymptotic expansion is computed from the definition of the smooth arithmetic intersection numbers. The divergent term on the other side is the zeta-regularized determinant of the Laplacian acting on 1-forms with values in the chosen hermitian line bundle associated to the regularized metrics. We first define and compute a regularization of the determinant of the corresponding Laplacian associated to the singular metrics, which will later occur int he regularized arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem. To do so we adapt and generalize ideas od Jorgenson-Lundelius, D'Hoker-Phong, and Sarnak. Then, we prove a formula for the on-diagonal heat kernel associated to the chosen hermitian line bundle on a model cusp, from which its behavior close to a cusp is transparent. This expression is related to an expansion in terms of eigenfunctions associated to the Whittaker equation, which we prove in an appendix. Further estimates on the heat kernel associated to the chosen hermitian line bundle on the complex fiber of the arithmetic surface prove the main theorem.

This study is aimed at AISI 1022 low carbon steel billets to investigate experimentally the forming characteristics and stress responses of horn head and dual-horn head Phillips drive countersunk head screws. The forming experiments are conducted on tensile-compression test machine by simulating the forming model of one die-two blow heading machine. It is revealed experimentally that, to form a Phillips drive countersunk head screws, firstly to form a horn head and punching a small square hole for the first blow, secondly to punch the countersunk for the second blow. For the second blow, the four corners of the punch have to align with the four corner of square hole on the head of the billet to form a symmetric circular head. For horn head and dual-horn head, since the second cone is forming a little as forming the horn head for the first blow, the forming forces are not distinct obviously. While, as punching the countersunk with a Phillips punch for the second blow, the forming forces are increased rapidly due to the strain hardening effect, especially for dual-horn head, which forming force is much larger than that for horn head.

The forming of head on T-Head bolt is produced by three-stage cold forming processes. Because the height of compression rate of head is high as 85.5% during forging process, this situation is easy to occur surface crack and that will have great influence on the product quality after forming. In this study, try to find out optimal forming parameters to reduce the surface crack on the bolt in the forming process. Pro / Engineer is used to construct geometry of billet, bolt and die. DEFORM-3D is adopted to simulate the three-stage cold forging processes and to analyze die stress to find out effetive parameters of each-stage forging process. Taguchi method L8 (27) orthogonal array is used to integrate all forming parameters to simulate, and find out those high influential factors of forming parameters by analyses of S/N and confidence level. The Taguchi method L9 (34) orthogonal array integrates those high influential factors of forming parameters to analyze again. The combinational parameter of optimization is obtained by analysis of variance (ANOVA) according damage of workpiece and the maximum effective stress of die. Finally, comparing the results of analysis in new design with that in original design, it displays that new forming parameters reduces the forging force about 15%, the value of damage about 24%, and decreases the maximum effective stress of die to improve the service life of die.

How to develop special alloy fastener products with high price value for better profitability is the top priority that faces Taiwan''s metal forging industry, especially the manufacturers of screws. To face the tougher press forging of special metals, there are the following hot forging press: (1) heating and then forging billets inside the furnace; (2) heating by electromagnetic coil induction, and (3) heating by electric heating rod die. These approaches, however, require forging after heating, and the consequent partial temperature drop can change the material stress. Meanwhile, a direct resistive heating to forge billets inside the mold not only reduces the uneven distribution of material temperature, surface oxidation and surface material coarsening, but also alleviates the stress hike resulted from the material temperature drop during the forging process, thus greatly improves the malleability and mass production capacity of nickel-base superalloy materials. Also, the nickel material is a key factor to the forging process and simulation parameters. In view of this, this research proposes a forging approach that directly heats billets inside a mold. The study comes in four parts: (1) simulation of the bolt head forging process; (2) experiment of the direct resistive heating inside a mold; (3) experiment of the resistive heating inside the mold to forge the bolt head; and (4) experiment of the nickel alloy resistive heating inside the mold to forge the bolt head. The software tools DEFORM-3D and DEFORM-2D are used to simulate the bolt head heating and forging patterns and, based on the simulation results, real molds are built to test the resistive heating inside the molds, followed by tests of resistive heating and forging of bolt heads inside the molds, and finally nickel-based alloy materials are taken for experiment and discussion of the resistive heating and forging of bolt heads. The experiment results show that (1) the direct resistive heating and forging of billets inside the mold is feasible, and using a preload device can correct the poor heating; (2) this research has successfully heated the SCM440 billet, swiftly and directly, up to 1100℃ for the bolt head forging process, thus proposed a gradual heating pattern to improve the filling of the bolt head forging; (3) when this approach is applied to 718 and C276 nickel alloys, the heating pattern is different from that with SCM440, causing the overall temperature of the billet unable to reach the forging temperature or causing the billet''s partial temperature over the melting point, resulting in failed forging.

Thermal spray coating processes have been employed in the current study to deposit well-adhered, dense skins onto the surfaces of open-cell metal foams. The result is a channel that consists of a metal foam core and a thermal sprayed skin wall that can be used as a compact heat-exchanger by directing the coolant flow through the foam. To study the feasibility of the metallic foam heat-exchangers, hydraulic and heat-transfer characteristics were investigated experimentally. The local wall and fluid temperature distribution and the pressure drop along the length of the heat exchanger were measured for different coolant flow velocities. The Dupuit-Forchheimer modification is employed with the experimental results to determine flow characteristics. To measure the heat transfer performance, a length average Nusselt number is derived from a volumetric heat transfer coefficient based on the local wall and fluid temperatures. Heat transfer was shown to have increased nearly 7 times compared to that of a channel without a foam core.

In this study, by simulating three-stage forming machine, the forming force and formability of flat head screws are investigated experimentally and numerically. The numerical simulation of three-stage forming is studied by using FE code of DEFORM-3D. To forming a larger head of screw, a billet with larger diameter is used. The first stage is to extrude a billet into smaller diameter rod. The second stage is pre-forming of head. The third stage is in-mold forming of flat head. It is revealed experimentally and numerically that, for stage 1, the extrusion forming is not affected by the length of billet; for stage 2, the billet is freely bulged in the cylindrical cave of punch, and forming force is similar to stage 1. When the billet is not completely bulged, it is likely to cause a significant crease on the head in stage 3 of in-mold forming of flat head. Therefore, in order to upset a complete circular flat head in stage 3, the billet should be bulged completely in stage 2 of head pre-forming. The more is the pre-forming billet, the larger flat head is formed. The stage 3 is to in-mold upset the billet into a complete cylindrical head. The stroke is shortest, but the forming force is largest. Particularly, when the billet is compressed to reach the inner wall of the die, the forming force varies dramatically. The larger outer diameter is the head, the greater forming force is required. The forming force of stage 3 is much larger than stage 1 and 2, and the of punch and die for stage 3 is thus less, and leads to the loss of related parts of operating forming machine. Keywords: Three-stage forming machine, flat head screw, in-mold forming, forming force.

In this study, three parameter of heat transfer is detected. They are ΔT (2 points temperature difference), Qmax (Maximum Heat Transfer) and Q” max (Maximum Heat Flux). Comparison of each result is carried to get the deformation effects on heat pipe before and after. The result of experiment shows that the mesh structure will support better flatting limits, eachψ4, ψ5 andψ6 mesh pipe can press to 2.0 mm thickness, but groove and powder type just support 2.5 mm deformation. About the bending , the groove and powder type will tolerate the smaller bending radius (Rc) in each different heat pipe diameter on the contrary. When both two processes are applied on the performance will be decreased for bending angle (θ) less than 90 degree.

The heat bending process has long been used for plate forming in the metal forming and shipbuilding industries, and has always depended on skilled workers. Since metal forming and shipbuilding companies need a reduction in production costs and in the number of workers they employ, an increased use of automation is desirable. This study discusses a laser source and an oxyacetylene torch source. The heat input intensity, Q, the speed of the servomotor, V, the constraint conditions, the heating paths, the heat affected zone, the temperature field, the cooling rate, , and the dynamic displacement of the plate during heat bending etc. are all discussed. Thermoplastic theories, three-bar analysis, and two dimensional temperature fields are used to study control methods and to simulate the heat bending processes. This paper considers the advantages of applying Grey and Fuzzy theories to the analysis and simulation of the heat bending process for steel plates by using a Grey predictor and an on-line Fuzzy controller. A Grey predictor is applied to assist in the prediction of the temperature within the steel plate, and in the analysis of its thermoplastic characteristics. The temperature of the steel plate at the next measuring data point is predicted, and this information can then be used as feedback within the controller. The Grey method uses four types of modeling algorithm with G(1,1) methods. These algorithms are constructed, discussed, and compared using different temperature dimensions, M, where M lies between 4 and 100. The four kinds of Grey G(1,1) modeling methods are the New-Dimension G(1,1) Grey Method (NDGM), the New-Dimension-Zero-First-Term G(1,1) Grey Method (NDZFTGM), the Same-Dimension G(1,1) Grey Method (SDGM), and the Same-Dimension-Zero-First-Term G(1,1) Method (SDZFTGM). The best prediction method of the boundary temperature is proven to be the SDZFTGM, and the optimal dimensions, M, of the temperature series are found to be 4 and 5. Under these conditions the error is under 2%, which is lower than the error given by the three other kinds of Grey methods. The fuzzy controller was developed based upon the simulation of the temperature field and the physical behaviors manifested in experimentation. The fuzzy controller fine-tunes the torch speed, V, by applying a set of rules and a set of membership functions. The results of the experiment verified the use of a fuzzy controller in heat bending experiments. The conditions of heat bending using 12 heating lines, and the values of during the heat bending experiments. The experimental results discussed in this paper use the conditions with fuzzy control to bend a plate into the required shape and to prove the performance of the heat bending fuzzy controller. During the heat bending process the average displacement along 10 measuring lines was compared with the displacement of the required shape. It was found that there was an 8% error in displacement. It was found that a fuzzy controller is effective in governing the speed of the servomotor driving the heat source.

Skillfull techniques of Shipbuilding is not easy to pass on, but automation is needed in the heat-forming process. The main affected factors are needed to study for heat-bending in working process. According to studies, the main deformation factors of heat-bending depends on the intensity of source, various temperature and moment speeds. The parameters aren’t adjusted in conventional heat-forming system. Because of the reason, we study the fuzzy system to strengthen digial and numerical control system. The result of the simulations and measured information of sensors are obtained in order to calculate the intensity of source and moment speeds for adjusting freeback data and monitoring deformation in the system. PID and controller are very well in the conventional control methods but they need a good mathematics model to prove the effect. The truthful System State can not be understood in general physical system. Heat-bending forming process is a complex environment and is very difficult to control. It is more difficult to show the model from complete mathematical methods and to calculate different heat-bending process. Therefore, the paper has solved the control system of the heat forming for ship plates by experiments and simulations.

Golden fish roe, fish balls and other surimi products are mainly made of fishes in Taiwan distribution channel. Only few products are made of squids or other invertebrates. One of the reasons is that fishes have better forming ability than squids for making surimi. Therefore, the topic was chosen study on improving squid gel-forming ability. The first step was to investigate neritic squid meat paste gel-forming ability and appliance and used two-step heating to improve gel-forming quality. Then, it was studied that what facts protein hydrolysis enzyme effected heat gel-form in squid meat paste in this research. Also, it was studied that how to improve heat gel-forming ability by adding protease inhibitor and characteristics of protein hydrolysis enzyme. By using fresh neritic squid as a raw material, the first step was to take off skin and made muscles to meat paste and added some protease inhibitors. Then, the sample were heated under the different conditions (one-step heating:70 degree for 20 minutes;two-step heating:24-25 degree for 30 minutes and 70 degree for 30 minutes) until it became gel-form. After that, the strength of gel-form was examined by texture analyser. Then it melted gel-form and surimi by using SDS-PAGE to study protein components. Additionally, in order to understand characteristics of protein hydrolysis enzymes, by using 20mM Tris-HCl to take out muscles surimi to analyze the crude enzyme drops. In this research, it was studied that reaction temperature of crude enzyme drops, pH, salt consistency and added marlin protein liquors to check how they decomposed. Neritic squid meat paste had the highest strength at 70 degree and to increase temperature was not effective to gel-form too much and heating time had limited effects. It was also found that two-step heating caused gel-form’s strength badly, but if it added Soya trypsin inhibitor, EDTA, PMSF to two-step heating, the results showed that gel-form had better strength. Then, it was also found that the crude enzymes activity was the most active around pH neutral. The best temperature for cow’s serum protein was at 40 and 70 degree and for casein was at 35 and 70 degree. Both of them were the most active in salt consistency 0.11M. Therefore, neritic squid’s gel-forming ability was related to metal protein hydrolysis enzyme due to the previous researches. In this experiment obviously indicated that protein of pancreatin was higher related to protein hydrolysis enzyme.

Industrial applications of metal plate forming processes are numerous.Thermo-mechanical methods,primarily of line heating, have been used extensivelyfor shipbuilding application for many years. However,the decreasing number of such highly skilled craftsmen, who have developed the art of determining how and where to apply the heat to produce desired shapes in a plate, coupled with the continuing reequirements of the shipbuilding industry, has emphasized a need for the developement of new thermo-mechanical forming techniques. The parameter values defining the distortion and temperature are related to process variables : the thermal power and speed of travel of the heat source.This paper presents a numerical method that analyzes direct and inverse heat problems to solve the distribution of temperatures and heat source when the boundary of work piece is moving source. In addition, applying Grey System Theory to predictthe trend of data of experimental temperature. After getting the relationship among thermal power, speed and temperature, the database can be built. The result shows that the objective is expected.

The heat-integrated design of formic acid production via reactive distillation (RD) configuration will be investigated in this thesis. The design for this process refers to Huang’s process and it is optimized to obtain a better process design that has the minimum total energy. Later on, design which is optimized will be used as reference by the other configuration to reduce the “remixing effects” phenomena which may occur. The first approach is the thermally coupled configuration. As the results, the “remixing effects” can be reduced and minimum total energy less than the base case and optimization design can also be achieved. This research also investigates another heat-integrated method. It is external heat integration which uses the heat of top distillate vapor in one column to transfer the heat to side heater and/or to the reboiler of another column. The results for this method are better than the thermally coupled one because the total energy can be further reduced compared to thermally coupled design.

In agricultural seedling industry, the link of genetic molecular markers to special characteristics can help crop development and increase its competitiveness in the international market. However, there are two bottlenecks needed to be overcome. First, the development of molecular markers often uses non-specific random primers which may produce less reproductive result. Second, to conduct these analyses may require a lot of time and manpower. Broccoli ( Brassica oleracea var. italica ) is an edible green plant in the Brassicaceae family. The optimal growth temperature is 22 ℃ while curd formation occurs below 18 ℃. Based on the days needed for curd formation, cultivars are classified into ''early '', ''middle'', and ''late'' groups. There are some cultivars belong to early group that were heat tolerant and can have curd formation at the temperature of 25 ℃ and above. Many molecular markers like RAPD, SSR markers have been already used to idenfy these heat tolerant groups. In this study, High Resolution Melting Curve ( HRM ) in real - time PCR was used to distinguish heat - resistant early - sprouting groups from other groups using specific primer pairs in a very short time period. In this study, two markers derived from Cox19 - like CHCH family and Flowering locus C promoter were used for analyses using HRM. Based on the spectrum difference between early - sprouting cultivar and late - sprouting cultivar in the HRM analysis, we can apply this method to screen heat - resistant cultivars as well as to test the purity of hybrid seed generated from different parental groups in a short time perid.

The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of flow-forming process, heat treatment, and EB welding on the mechanical properties and microstructure of D6AC ultrahigh-strength steels. Therefore, a group of optimum manufacturing parameters can be determined and will be applied to the development of aerospace and defense industries. In the present study, the cold forward flow forming technique and EBW process were employed to fabricate the tube and to join the tubing pieces, respectively. Various process parameters were incorporated to combat the problem of inadequate ductility associated with the weldment fabricated from the D6AC steel. These included varying the input amount of cold forming, EBW and trying different post-weld heat treatments. The present study showed that the D6AC steel tube produced by the forward flow forming technique had an increased mechanical strength but a decreased ductility, as the amount of flow forming was increased. In the case of 78% flow forming input, the mechanical strength of the steel was elevated by 0.4% but the percentage elongation markedly deteriorated by 8.1% after the steel was post-weld heat treatment at the temperature of 350℃. Subsequent to EB welding, likewise the D6AC steel showed an enhanced mechanical strength but a deteriorated ductility. This suggested that the heavily flow formed D6AC steel can not be used for a direct EB welding. For the D6AC steel that had received the flow forming amount of 78%, the steel for the temperature range of after 250℃~650℃ post-weld heat treatments. Among these, the 350℃post-weld heat treatment temperature had a great mechanical properties. However, the percentage elongation decreased to start with and then increased as the temperature was increased. The highest percentage elongation 13.2% occurred at testing temperature of 650℃. The study has demonstrated that D6AC steel is a suitable material for manufacturing seamless thin-wall tubing through the cold forward flow forming technique. After a 350℃ post-welding heating, the steel can deliver superior mechanical properties. However, the D6AC steel has been found not suitable for EB welding directly after cold flow forming, because the weldment of the cold formed steel may suffer a serious inadequacy of percentage elongation. As a result of the present research, the sticky problem associated with lack of ductility of the D6AC steel that used to trouble the aerospace and defense industries has been solved. Post-weld heat treatment is necessary to reduce the residual stress and improve the mechanical properties of the EB weldment.

This thesis consists of one chapter accepted for publication in a book and four papers published in international journals with impact factors. All of the contributions deal with the role of wood ants in energy and nutrient fluxes in forest ecosystems. Wood ant nests are known as hot spots of carbon dioxide (CO2) production and are also thought to affect methane (CH4) flux. Stable high temperatures are maintained in ant nests even in cold environments. This study is focused on quantification of CO2 and CH4 flux in wood ant nests, contribution of ants and microbes to CO2 production, properties of nest material that affect CO2 production and the role of ants and microbes in the maintenance of nest temperature. The research was conducted in temperate and boreal forests inhabited by wood ants (Formica s. str.). Gas fluxes were measured either by an infrared gas analyser or a static chamber technique. Ants and nest materials were also incubated in a laboratory. Material properties potentially influencing CO2 flux, such as moisture, nutrient content or temperature were determined. According to the results, CH4 oxidation was lower in wood ant nests than in the surrounding forest soil suggesting that some characteristics of ant nests hinder CH4 oxidation or promote CH4 production. Wood ant nests clearly are hot...

This thesis deals with thermoregulation in red wood ants, in Formica rufa group. Our aim was to better understand the mechanisms by which red wood ants maintain thermal homeostasis in their nests. Red wood ants are known to keep high and stable temperatures in their nests from spring to autumn. Most emphasis is placed on the role of the nest mound as a solar collector or on a heat production by microbial community present in the nest material. However, some researchers believe that wood ants are able of active nest thermoregulation in which they can affect the nest temperature by behavioural reactions, mainly by sun basking, increased metabolic heat production or heat transport. The thesis consists of three research articles. The first one is focused on the timing of thermoregulation in red wood ants, the second one investigates in more detail one specific aspect of red wood ant thermoregulation - a sun basking behaviour. These two papers provide data from long-term field observations and experiments. The last paper is based on laboratory experiments where we tested a hypothesis resulting from field observations. Thanks to the field research we found out that ant activity (traffic on ant trails) significantly correlates with nest temperature; once the activity decreased the thermal homeostasis...

In order to promote energy density and overcome the fuel crossover on the membrane, formic acid is considered to be an attractive fuel at the anode of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Besides, the low Pt content PtPd bimetallic catalysts have been investigated due to their high catalytic activity of formic acid oxidation reaction (FAO). In this study, the carbon-supported Pd, PdPt and PdRuPt have been prepared and PdPt, PdRuPt have been heat-treated. The relationship between their surface compositions and electrochemical properties is elucidated. The lattice structures, surface compositions, chemical compositions, morphologies and electrochemical properties of prepared catalysts are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and rotating disc electrode (RDE), respectively. This study is divided into two parts. In the first part, carbon-supported Pd, PdPt and PdRuPt nanoparticles have been prepared at the same reduction condition. The XPS and CO stripping results reveal the small amount of Pt coverage on the surface of PdPt and PdRuPt. The addition of Pt into Pd catalysts have demonstrated great promotion of FAO performance compared to Pd/C, and Ru addition further enhances the CO tolerance of catalysts. Besides, the ratio between forward and backward peak current (If/Ib) of Pd is much higher than those of PdPt and PdRuPt, due to CO poisoning at low potential during forward scan of surface Pt. In the second part, carbon-supported PdPt and PdRuPt catalysts have been heat-treated under CO and O2 atmosphere. Based on the analysis of the XRD, XPS and electrochemical measurement, the change of surface composition during heat treatment, and the correlation between surface composition and catalytic properties of PdPt and PdRuPt catalysts is methodically elucidated. The amounts of surface Pt is related to FAO performance. O2 heat treatment can promote the FAO performance but does not have positive effect on their stability based on the chronoamperometric (CA) results. On the other side, owing to the Pt surface segregation and reduction by CO heat treatment, the mass activity (MA) after CA tests is enhanced, especially for the ternary one.
