چکیده
We study thermal crack shielding and thermal shock damage in a double-edge cracked metal-particlereinforced ceramic matrix composite subjected to sudden cooling at the cracked surfaces. Under severe thermal shocks, the crack will grow but will be bridged by the plastically stretched metal particles. A linear softening bridging law is used to describe the metal particle bridging behavior. An integral equation of the thermal crack problem incorporating the bridging eect is derived and the thermal stress intensity factor at the bridged crack tip is calculated numerically. It is found that the thermal stress intensity factor is signi®cantly reduced by the metal particle bridging. While the crack growth in thermally shocked monolithic ceramics is unstable, the composite can withstand suciently severe thermal shocks without failure. # 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

A detailed analysis is performed of the plastic deformation in a metal substrate fretted by a ̄atbottomed circular peg under steady normal load and cyclic tangential load. The substrate is coated with a thin layer of soft metal. Two limiting asymptotic problems are identi®ed which characterize small scale yielding behavior in the substrate in the vicinity of the corners of the peg. Deformation ...

This paper presents a stochastic model of fatigue crack propagation in ductile alloys that are commonly encountered in mechanical structures and machine components of complex systems (e.g. aircraft, spacecraft, ships and submarines, and power plants). The stochastic model is built upon a deterministic state-space model of fatigue crack propagation under variable-amplitude loading. The (non-stat...
متن کاملSerial binary multiplication with feed-forward neural networks
In this paper we propose no learning based neural networks for serial binary multiplication. We show that for \subarray-wise" generation of the partial product matrix and a data transmission rate of bits per cycle the serial multiplication of two n-bit operands can be computed in n serial cycles with an O(nn) size neural network, and maximum fan-in and weight values both in the order of O(log)....
متن کاملAn optimum control strategy of channel input traffic in FH/SSMA systems with central controllers
An optimum channel input-traffic control (OCIC) scheme is proposed and investigated for slotted frequency-hopped spread spectrum multiple access communication systems. The conditional throughput is obtained, the state transition probability is derived, the steady-state throughput is obtained, and the mean packet delay is calculated. It is shown that the performance of the OCIC scheme is better ...
