Wa-ri heavy load railway is taken as the research object in the paper,the rail profiles are observed before and after grinding. Based on the wheel/rail contact wear theory and the finite element model of high-speed wheel/rail steady rolling contact established by the mixed Lagrangian/Eulerian method,the four kinds of railway grinding profile are contacted with LM wheels,the optimal rail profile was selected. Results show that,the profile 1 TQI and wear rate are the maximum,When the profile 1 contact with LM,the distribution of contact point pairs is relatively concentrated,equivalent conicity is largest,the mass flow density and wear power maximum are the biggest,wheel/rail wear is biggest. the profile 3 TQI and wear rate are the minimum,the contact point distribution between profile 3 and LM tread is good,equivalent conicity is least,the mass flow density and wear power maximum are the least. Therefore,only from the perspective of wear control,the research shows that the profile 3 is the optimal grinding profile.

The traditional methods of designing cam profile always leads to complicated calculation,low computational accuracy and efficiency. But by using Matlab programming language,the computational accuracy can be increased and the design period can be shortened in the process of solving and drawing cam profile.Firstly,the data points on the curve that are drawn in the Matlab can be derived. Secondly,a rough draft of cam profile is generated in Solid Works. Finally,the three- dimensional model of cam profile is created during the stretching process. This method is easy to operate and can greatly improve the design efficiency by quickly modifying the shape of cam profile according to the actual working conditions.

The frictional vibration generated in water-lubricated rubber bearings operating under low speed, heavy load, startup and shutdown conditions can severely degrade the reliability and the sheltered performance of underwater vehicles. The rubber layer of the ship stern tube water-lubricated rubber bearings is easily elastically deformed under certain loads, which affects the damping performance of the bearing system. To explore the effects of thickness, hardness, and concavo-convexity on the damping property of water-lubricated rubber stern bearings, frictional force, vibration, noise, and displacement and deformation of the contact area were studied using a test rig with a transparent glass cylinder. An orthogonal L9(3)4 test design was applied accordingly to determine the optimum construction and material parameters of the rubber layer. Orthogonal test results indicate that among rubber layer hardness, thickness, and test block concavo-convexity, the former is most significant in terms of the frictional vibration, followed by the thickness and, finally, the radius of the surface. When the hardness is 65 A, the thickness is 12 mm, and the plate type is concave, the frictional vibration performance of the rubber layer is optimal. More important, based on the static deformation and the dynamic displacement of the rubber, the causes of the frictional vibration and the influence of different materials and structural parameters on frictional vibration were visually analyzed. The overall trends and the mechanism discussed in this research may be considered as a guideline for the design, optimization, and manufacture of water-lubricated bearings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study was to improve the mechanical properties of an acrylonitrile--styrene--acrylate copolymer (ASA) with the help of carbon fibers (CFs). Additionally, the effects of the CFs on the morphology, rheological properties, dynamical mechanical properties, electrical resistivity, and heat resistance of the ASA composites were studied with scanning electron microscopy, rotational rheometry, and dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA). The mechanical properties of the ASA composites were enhanced largely by the CFs. The maximum tensile strength of the ASA/CF composites reached 107.2 MPa. The flexural strength and flexural modulus also reached 162.7 MPa and 12.4 GPa, respectively. These findings were better than those of neat ASA; this was attributed to the excellent interfacial adhesion between the CFs and ASA resin. Rheological experiments proved that the viscosity and storage modulus (G0) values of the ASA/CF composites did not increase until the CF content reached 20%. The DMA outcomes confirmed that the glass-transition temperature of the ASA composites was elevated from 120.6 to 125°C. Importantly, the G0 values of the composites with 20 and 30% CFs showed a large increase during heating. In addition, the ASA/CF composites exhibited excellent conductivity and heat resistance [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High-levelab initiocalculations have been performed on the PBr radical by using multi-reference configuration interaction method plus Davidson correction (+Q) with correlation-consistent quadruple-ζ quality basis set. The potential energy curves (PECs) of the 22 Λ–S states of PBr have been obtained, most of which are reported for the first time. From the PECs of the bound states, the spectroscopic constants have been determined, in good agreement with the experimental results where available. Due to the large state density, there exhibits complicated interactions in the electronic excited states of PBr. The possible interactions by the spin–orbit coupling (SOC) effect have been discussed based on the evaluatedR-dependent spin–orbit matrix elements. The 51 Ω states, generating from the 22 Λ–S states after taking SOC into account, have been computed. The Λ–S component analysis of the wavefunctions for the Ω states indicates the strong interaction of the Λ–S states especially at the avoided crossing points and near the dissociation limits. Finally, the transition dipole moments of several transitions arising from upper Ω states to the X10+and X21 states and the corresponding radiative lifetimes have been studied. Our calculation results provide new information that should be valuable for further experimental studies on the electronic excited states of the PBr radical. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wood-plastics composite (WPC) is a new kind of composite material, booming at home and abroad in recent years. It includes 2 types: one is the composite produced directly using extrusion and injection methods based on biomass materials such as wood powder, bamboo powder and hemp fiber; the other is based on carbonized biomass materials, which is fabricated by carbonizing biomass materials at high temperature and then compounding with polymer. The former has been studied in detail, but the latter is scarce. So in this paper, we prepared the charcoal/epoxy composites using compressing method. The effects of charcoal content on the mechanical properties and the heat resistance of charcoal/epoxy composites were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM), material testing machines, dynamical thermal mechanical analyzer (DMA) and Vicat softening temperature (VST) measuring instrument. The epoxy, diluents and curing agent at weight ratio of 3:2:5 were used to yield charcoal/epoxy composites. The weight fraction of charcoal in composite was set to 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%, and the curing temperature and curing time were 100°C and 3 h, respectively. The results showed that the charcoal in composites, acting as physical cross-link, could improve the mechanical properties of epoxy resins. The flexural strength of composites increased from 10.1 to 38.2 MPa as charcoal loading increased from 0 to 10%, but it started to reduce when charcoal loading exceeded 10%. Like flexural strength, the impact strength of composites also increased from 8.7 to 20.5 kJ/m2 within 10% charcoal loading. However, the flexural modulus of composites increased with charcoal loading increasing till 30%. At high charcoal content, due to the poor wetting properties of charcoal, the mechanical properties of composites began to decrease. The DMA results confirmed that the glass transition temperature of epoxy resins was elevated from 37.5°C to 60.5°C as charcoal loading increased from 0 to 10%, indicating strong interaction between epoxy and charcoal. When charcoal loading exceeded 10%, the glass transition temperature started to decline, but it was still higher than that of net epoxy resins. The addition of charcoal improved the heat resistance of epoxy composites, and the VST of charcoal/epoxy composites increased linearly with the increasing of charcoal loading. The 10% charcoal made the VST of epoxy resins increase from 81.2°C to 126.6°C. Further elevating the charcoal loading caused the VST of composites to exceed 200°C. The results indicate that the charcoal/epoxy composites have better mechanical properties and heat resistance with the charcoal loading of 10%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
