چکیده

-A broad-band acoustic emission detection system has been used to record the transient surface displacements due to the release of elastic waves during deformation and fracture of EN3OA. a low-alloy steel. Acoustic emission signals were recorded from material tested in the quenched, tempered and temper-embrittled conditions: Tests were also performed upon material which had been hydrogen charged prior to testing. The specimens which fractured by ductile mechanisms generated acoustic emission transients with shorter measured risetimes on average than those which fractured by a brittle intergranular mechanism induced by hydrogen. The risetimes of the transient displacements have been tentatively interpreted in terms of source lifetimes. whilst their amplitudes have been related to source arcas, and hence their time derivatives to source velocities. The results suggest that the emission from the quenched material is related to the fast shear of interinclusion ligaments. while the source during intergranular fracture is most probably brain-boundary decohesion over areas of one to five grain facets. Source identification in the temper-embrittled material is less certain because of secondary intergranular cracking in an otherwise ductile fracture.

Zusammeufassung--Mit einem breibandigen System zur Aufnahme akustischer Erscheinungen wurden die transienten OberflBchenverschiebungen. erzeugt durch elastische Wellen wHhrend der Verformung und des Bruches in niedrig legiertem Stahl EN30A. untersucht. Die Signale wurden an Materinlien aufgenommen, die abgeschreckt. getempert und temperverspriidet waren.

Proben, die iiber duktile Mechanismen brechen. erzeugten transiente akustische Ereignisse mit kiirzeren mjttleren Anstiegszeiten als diejenigen. die iiber einen vom Wasserstoff verursachten intergranularen SprGdbruch brachen.

Die Bestimmung der Quellart in dem tempervcrspriideten Material ist weniger sicher wegen der sekundlren intergranularen RiBbildung beim sonst duktilen Bruch.

Gains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach

By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...

Improved immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid by Brucella abortus S19 LPS adjuvant.

BACKGROUND Adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. Despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. Brucella abortus LPS is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to LPS from other gram negati...

Perturbative Analysis of Dynamical Localisation

In this paper we extend previous results on convergent perturbative solutions of the Schrödinger equation of a class of periodically timedependent two-level systems. The situation treated here is particularly suited for the investigation of two-level systems exhibiting the phenomenon of (approximate) dynamical localisation. We also present a convergent perturbative expansion for the secular fre...

Collinear contextual suppression

The context of a target can modulate behavioral as well as neural responses to that target. For example, target processing can be suppressed by iso-oriented surrounds whereas it can be facilitated by collinear contextual elements. Here, we present experiments in which collinear elements exert strong suppression whereas iso-oriented contextual surrounds yield no contextual modulation--contrary t...
