Abstract CORONA 5 is a titanium alloy developed for applications in fracture-controlled aircraft components. Plane strain fracture toughnesses of 110,000 to 150,000 psi sq.rt. in. (120 to 165 MPa sq.rt. m) have been produced in this alloy at 135,00 psi (930 MPa) tensile strength through a variety of different process histories. The specific strength (strength/density ratio) is superior to that of the Ti-6A1-4V alloy. Resistance to fatigue crack propagation and resistance to chloride-stress-corrosion cracking are comparable to those of Ti-6A1-4V. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Ti-70. Producer or source: Crucible Steel Company of America, Titanium Division.

The onset of the aggregative mode of liquid-solid fluidization was explored. The experimental findings were interpreted by means of the dynamic (elastic) wave velocity and the voidage propagation (continuity) wave velocity. For widely different systems, the mapping of regimes has been presented in terms of the Archimedes number, the Froude number and the fluid-solid density ratio. The proposed diagram also depicts the typical Geldart's Group A particles fluidized with air.

Octet-truss lattice structures can be used for lightweight structural applications due to their high strength-to-density ratio. In this research, octet-truss lattice specimens were fabricated by stereolithography additive manufacturing with a photopolymer resin. The mechanical properties of this structure have been examined in three orthogonal orientations under the compressive load. Detailed comparison and description were carried out on deformation mechanisms and failure modes in different lattice orientations. Finite element models using both beam elements and three-dimensional solid elements were used to simulate the compressive response of this structure. Both the load reaction and collapse modes obtained in simulations were compared with test results. Our results indicate that three-dimensional continuum element models are required to accurately capture the behaviour of real trusses, taking into account the effects of finite-sized beams and joints.

Cooling techniques play a key role in improving efficiency and power output of modern gas turbines. The conjugate technique of film and impingement cooling schemes is considered in this study. The Multi-Stage Cooling Scheme (MSCS) involves coolant passing from inside to outside turbine blade through two stages. The first stage; the coolant passes through first hole to internal gap where the impinging jet cools the external layer of the blade. Finally, the coolant passes through the internal gap to the second hole which has specific designed geometry for external film cooling. The effect of design parameters, such as, offset distance between two-stage holes, gap height, and inclination angle of the first hole, on upstream conjugate heat transfer rate and downstream film cooling effectiveness performance are investigated computationally. An Inconel 617 alloy with variable properties is selected for the solid material. The conjugate heat transfer and film cooling characteristics of MSCS are analyzed across blowing ratios of Br = 1 and 2 for density ratio, 2. This study presents upstream wall temperature distributions due to conjugate heat transfer for different gap design parameters. The maximum film cooling effectiveness with upstream conjugate heat transfer is less than adiabatic film cooling effectiveness by 24–34%. However, the full coverage of cooling effectiveness in spanwise direction can be obtained using internal cooling with conjugate heat transfer, whereas adiabatic film cooling effectiveness has narrow distribution.

ABSTRACT Stellar winds of cool carbon stars enrich the interstellar medium with significant amounts of carbon and dust. We present a study of the influence of two-fluid flow on winds where we add descriptions of frequency-dependent radiative transfer (RT). Our radiation hydrodynamic models in addition include stellar pulsations, grain growth and ablation, gas-to-dust drift using one mean grain size, dust extinction based on both the small particle limit (SPL) and Mie scattering, and an accurate numerical scheme. We calculate models at high spatial resolution using 1024 gridpoints and solar metallicities at 319 frequencies, and we discern effects of drift by comparing drift models to non-drift models. Our results show differences of up to 1000 per cent in comparison to extant results. Mass-loss rates and wind velocities of drift models are typically, but not always, lower than in non-drift models. Differences are larger when Mie scattering is used instead of the SPL. Amongst other properties, the mass-loss rates of the gas and dust, dust-to-gas density ratio, and wind velocity show an exponential dependence on the dust-to-gas speed ratio. Yields of dust in the least massive winds increase by a factor 4 when drift is used. We find drift velocities in the range $10\!-\!67\, \mbox{km}\, \mbox{s}^{-1}$, which is drastically higher than in our earlier works that use grey RT. It is necessary to include an estimate of drift velocities to reproduce high yields of dust and low wind velocities.

AbstractThe paper describes the so-called Waterfall Algorithm, which may be used to calculate a set of parameters characterising the spatial structure of granular porous media, such as shift ratio, collision density ratio, consolidation ratio, path length and minimum tortuosity. The study is performed for 1800 different two-dimensional random pore structures. In each geometry, 100 individual paths are calculated. The impact of porosity and the particle size on the above-mentioned parameters is investigated. It was stated in the paper, that the minimum tortuosity calculated by the Waterfall Algorithm cannot be used directly as a representative tortuosity of pore channels in the Kozeny or the Carman meaning. However, it may be used indirect by making the assumption that a unambiguous relationship between the representative tortuosity and the minimum tortuosity exists. It was also stated, that the new parameters defined in the present study are sensitive on the porosity and the particle size and may be therefore applied as indicators of the geometry structure of granular media. The Waterfall Algorithm is compared with other methods of determining the tortuosity: A-Star Algorithm, Path Searching Algorithm, Random Walk technique, Path Tracking Method and the methodology of calculating the hydraulic tortuosity based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method. A very short calculation time is the main advantage of the Waterfall Algorithm, what meant, that it may be applied in a very large granular porous media.

The stochastic model, together with the functional model, form the mathematical model of observation that enables the estimation of the unknown parameters. In Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), the stochastic model is an especially important element as it affects not only the accuracy of the positioning model solution, but also the reliability of the carrier-phase ambiguity resolution (AR). In this paper, we study in detail the stochastic modeling problem for Multi-GNSS positioning models, for which the standard approach used so far was to adopt stochastic parameters from the Global Positioning System (GPS). The aim of this work is to develop an individual, empirical stochastic model for each signal and each satellite block for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou systems. The realistic stochastic model is created in the form of a fully populated variance-covariance (VC) matrix that takes into account, in addition to the Carrier-to-Noise density Ratio (C/N0)-dependent variance function, also the cross- and time-correlations between the observations. The weekly measurements from a zero-length and very short baseline are utilized to derive stochastic parameters. The impact on the AR and solution accuracy is analyzed for different positioning scenarios using the modified Kalman Filter. Comparing the positioning results obtained for the created model with respect to the results for the standard elevation-dependent model allows to conclude that the individual empirical stochastic model increases the accuracy of positioning solution and the efficiency of AR. The optimal solution is achieved for four-system Multi-GNSS solution using fully populated empirical model individual for satellite blocks, which provides a 2% increase in the effectiveness of the AR (up to 100%), an increase in the number of solutions with errors below 5 mm by 37% and a reduction in the maximum error by 6 mm compared to the Multi-GNSS solution using the elevation-dependent model with neglected measurements correlations.
