Shucai Yang,Tianjiao Wang,Wei Ren,Shuai Su 대한기계학회 2020 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.34 No.1

Given the serious work hardening phenomenon, high chemical activity, severe tool wear, and poor workpiece surface quality during the cutting of titanium alloys, placing micro-texture on the tool surface decreases the tool-chip contact area and friction and plays the role of wear resistance and friction reduction. In order to improve the cutting performance of cutting tools, the present study examins the effect of micro-texture parameters of a cemented carbide ball-end milling cutter on cutting force, tool wear, and workpiece surface roughness and establishes a regression analysis model via regression analysis. We consider the cutting performance of a cemented carbide micro-texture ball-end milling cutter as an evaluation standard. A genetic algorithm is applied to the multi-objective optimization of micro-texture parameters, and a regression analysis model of micro-texture design criteria is established. This provides a standardised reference to select standard micro-texture parameters in the design and preparation of a cemented carbide micro-texture ball-end milling cutter.

Shucai Yang,Chaoyang Guo,Wei Ren 대한기계학회 2022 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.36 No.6

Titanium alloys generally have problems such as sticking, large cutting force, and poor heat dissipation during the cutting process., research shows that processing microtextures on the surface of the tool can effectively improve the above problems. Therefore, this paper designs the V-groove micro-textures based on the principle of bionics. Use simulation software to analyze the milling behavior of different V-groove micro-texture ball-end milling cutters for milling titanium alloys. Build a test platform to study the milling performance of the Vgroove micro-texture ball-end milling cutter for milling titanium alloys, obtain the prior choice range of V-groove micro-texture parameters, optimize the parameters based on the simulated annealing algorithm and conduct experimental verification. The results of the optimal tool parameters are that the opening angle of the V-groove micro-textures is 79°, the V-groove microtexture spacing is 170 μm, and the V-groove micro-texture width is 30 μm, the distance from blade of the V-groove micro-textures is 90 μm.

Estimation of Dynamic Behaviors of Bedrock Foundation Subjected to Seismic Loads Based on FEM and DEM Simulations

Lei Yang,Yujing Jiang,Bo Li,Shucai Li,Gang Wang 대한토목학회 2013 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.17 No.2

Seismic behavior of bedrock foundation remains as one of the most fundamental and important problems concerning the stability and safety of nuclear power plants. The dynamic FEM (Finite Element Method) is commonly utilized in analyzing the seismic responses of bedrock; while in recent decades, the DEM (Distinct Element Method) has attracted more and more attentions, which has a better capability of simulating the sliding and separation of discontinuities in dynamic simulations. In this study, the FEM and DEM were adopted to investigate the seismic behavior of the bedrock of a nuclear power plant located in Japan, and the differences between the two methods in dynamic simulations were illuminated. Simulation results using FEM and DEM models without discontinuities agree well with each other, exhibiting an amplification effect of intact bedrock on the seismic wave propagation. Numerical simulation results obtained from the models containing faults give similar responses of bedrock to the input seismic waves; however, the FEM model underestimates the weakening effect of discontinuities on the propagation of seismic waves due to that it cannot represent well the large deformational behavior of discontinuities. When large deformation happens due to large seismic loads, the DEM can be regarded as a better method in seismic response evaluations of bedrock with discontinuities.

Single-repeat R3 MYB transcription factors (R3 MYBs) regulate epidermal cell fate determination in Arabidopsis through a lateral inhibition mechanism. Previously we have shown that poplar R3 MYB genes regulate trichome formation when expressed in Arabidopsis. Here we report the identification and functional characterization of a poplar R3 MYB-like protein, Populus trichocarpa R3 MYB-LIKE1 (PtrRML1). So far all the MYB transcription factors identified have a highly conserved N-terminal DNA-binding domain composed of MYB repeats and a highly variable C-terminal domain. However, PtrRML1 has a single R3 MYB repeat at its C-terminal and an LxLxL repressor motif-containing N-terminal, and with amino acids about twice of that of the known R3 MYBs. PtrRML1 is localized in nuclear in transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing PtrRML1-GFP. PtrRML1 repressed reporter gene expression in protoplasts, and it interacted with GL3 in plant cells. Expression of PtrRML1 in Arabidopsis resulted in glabrous phenotypes, increased number of root hairs, and decreased anthocyanin accumulation. Consist with these observation, the expression levels of some MBW component genes and some of their target genes involved in the regulation of epidermal cell fate determination and anthocyanin biosynthesis, including TRY, CPC, ETC1, GL1, GL2, DFR, UF3GT and TT8 were reduced in the transgenic plants.

This study investigates the influence of redispersible latex powder and hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose on the physical andmechanical properties of cement-sodium silicate grouts with a high W/B ratio. The rheological properties, setting time,compressive strength, autogenous shrinkage sulfate attack resistance and permeability of the grouts were assessed andcompared. The microstructures were investigated in terms of crack development. The results show that satisfactory propertiesand durability, such as an initial setting time extension of 20~55%, an autogenous shrinkage reduction of 0.332~1.21‰, anda permeability addition of 0.1–0.4 MPa, were obtained in cement-sodium silicate grouts with the addition of two polymers. Theflexural strength of cement-sodium silicate grouts with redispersible latex powder was improved after curing in water andsulfate attack by 3 wt% sodium sulfate. However, the addition of two polymers reduced the compressive strength of all groutsexcept for the redispersible latex powder content of 3%. These research results can provide a technical reference for groutingmaterial selection and mixing ratio adjustment.

Inhibitory Effect of Laser Surface Texturing in Dry Cutting of Titanium Alloy on Cemented Carbide Tool Wear

Quan Wan,Weizhe Zhong,Xiaoyu Hu,Shucai Yang 한국정밀공학회 2024 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.25 No.3

Compared to conventional tools, the cutting performance of microtextured tools is significantly better. Laser surface texturing (LST) is the most important technique for producing a microstructure. The modification of microstructure properties of tools by LST has not received much attention. In this study, the effects of LST on the microstructural properties of tools were investigated, and the specific causes of the improvement in wear resistance of tools by laser micro texturing and the effects of micro-texture on adhesive wear of tools were revealed. In this study, microtextured tools with different laser parameters were fabricated and the test was conducted for cutting titanium alloys. The changes in tool microstructural properties and tool wear morphology were compared and analyzed. LST effectively reduces the release of co-elements during cutting, solidifies WC particles, and reduces the adhesive and oxidative wear of the tool. In addition, the micro-texture and surrounding annular protrusions significantly reduce cutting heat, which in turn reduces diffusive and abrasive wear. In this context, the morphology of the micro-texture facilitates adhesive fracture and peeling of the adhesive wear, while the annular protrusions help reduce tool wear. Their interaction significantly improves the wear resistance of laser-machined microtextured tools.
