This paper presents a novel method for the analysis of solid surfaces in contact with a conformable component. These applications are common in many engine and hydraulic applications, wherein conformable seals, gaskets, bushings, etc. are employed to prevent unwanted flow across an interface or provide a uniform load distribution. The proposed analysis method employs a combination of meanline (m-system) filtering and envelope (e-system) or morphological filtering. Through this analysis, a simulation of contact area and the associated voids or gaps can be assessed.

In this research, the Y123 (YBa2Cu3Ox) and Y134 (YBa3Cu4Ox) superconductors were synthesized by solid state reaction and melt process, respectively. The crystal structure of all the samples were then determined using the Rietveld full-profile analysis method to indicate orthorhombic structure. The resistivity measurements showing Tc onset of Y123 lower than Y134 for solid state reaction but higher than Y134 melt process. However, the critical temperature off-set of Y134 has lower than of Y123. The SEM and EDX show that all samples were inhomogeneous. The SEM micrograph for solid state reaction Y123 has many pores between the grain and the grain size clearly demonstrated and bigger than Y134. It was seen that these pores are party eliminated in melt process samples. FTIR spectra detected the trace of carbonate residue in all samples.

Abstract A novel method for tailoring the interphase of carbon fiber-polymer composites by resistive electric heating is presented. The single fiber-epoxy resin tensile test is used to investigate the adhesion and fracture properties of the interphase. Electric resistive heating is shown to increase adhesion and toughness at the interphase region. In analyzing the results, the strength and fracture energy of the interphase are related to the thermal postcure conditions created by resistive electric heating. For this purpose, difference analysis method is used to obtain numerical solution for heat conduction problem in the single fiber test specimen and the temperature distributions are plotted. Improvements obtained using resistive electric heating via carbon fiber are compared with those obtained by postcuring of the whole sample via convective thermal postcuring. The results obtained using these two different postcure methods seem to be similar with electric heating procedure producing superior benefits in both increased toughness and adhesion.

Surface control is an important problem for production inspection in industry. Traditionally it is solved using mechanical and optical profilometry, providing high spatial resolution. However, such methods are inappropriate for bodies immersed in opaque liquids and require preliminary preparation of samples. Current work focuses on an application of a method of laser ultrasound tomography to mapping of solid surfaces. The suggested approach combines high acoustical resolution, high performance and allows profilometry of contaminated and immersed samples. An automated prototype for real-time surface profile measurements is constructed and tested on several bodies of revolution. Linear approximation of a cylinder profile obtained by the prototype shows maximum approximation inconsistency of 15 μm. The results are verified by those obtained by the conventional x-ray method.

Combustion synthesis (CS) of Si3N4 was accomplished by using as-milled Si/NH4Cl as reactants at low nitrogen pressure. The additive of NH4Cl decreased the combustion temperature and promoted the Si nitridation. Full nitridation of Si was achieved by burning Si in pressurized nitrogen with 10 ~ 25 wt. % NH4Cl as additives while no Si3N4 diluent added. The maximum combustion temperature (Tc), the combustion velocity (u) together with the α-Si3N4 content and mean particle size (d50) of the powder products were found to be great dependent on the NH4Cl content added in the reactants. Fine Si3N4 powder products with α-phase content up to 85 wt. % were obtained via steady combustion mode. A mathematical approach named combustion wave velocity methods for the analysis of temperature profiles in CS was proposed and the reaction kinetics was discussed. The apparent activation energy calculated according to the temperature profile analysis method is 29.7 kJ/mol, which agrees well with the corresponding low temperature nitriding combustion of Si.

Abstract. We present a novel method for analyzing range and Doppler spread targets in the amplitude domain using linear statistical inversion. The result of the analysis is an estimate of the range dependent amplitude behaviour of the target backscatter during the time that the transmission passes the target. A meteor head echo and strong backscatter from artificially heated regions of the ionosphere are used to demonstrate this novel analysis method. Plans to apply amplitude-domain radar target estimation methods to more complicated noisy underdetermined targets are also briefly discussed.

Abstract Tolerancing is a crucial problem for mechanical designers, as it has quality and cost implications on product design. Research in tolerancing has addressed specific areas of the problem. Building upon previous research, a unified approach for geometric tolerancing with fractal-based parameters has been recently proposed. This paper explores an alternative error profile analysis and synthesis method, based on wavelets, that maintains and extends the use of fractals for surface error abstraction. An overview of the theory of wavelets is provided, and the link between fractals and wavelets is established. Experimental data are used to illustrate the application of wavelet theory to surface profile reconstruction and synthesis. The synthesis methods are then implemented in the design of ball-bearing elements, demonstrating the utility of fractal-based tolerancing. Plans for further study and implementation conclude the paper.

We developed a novel method for analyzing RNA sequences, deemed triplet analysis, and applied the method in anin vitroRNA selection experiment in which HIV-1 Tat was the target. Aptamers are nucleic acids that bind a desired target (bait), and to date, many aptamers have been identified byin vitroselection from enough concentrated libraries in which many RNAs had an obvious consensus primary sequence after sufficient cycles of the selection. Therefore, the higher-order structural features of the aptamers that are indispensable for interaction with the bait must be determined by additional investigation of the aptamers. In contrast, our triplet analysis enabled us to extract important information on functional primary and secondary structure from minimally concentrated RNA libraries. As a result, by using our method, an important unpaired region that is similar to the bulge of TAR was readily predicted from a partially concentrated library in which no consensus sequence was revealed by a conventional sequence analysis. Moreover, our analysis method may be used to assess a variety of structural motifs with desired function.
