Printed in Sweden by US-AB, Stockholm 2008 Distributor: FOOS/Structurkemi ii ABSTRACT Carbide derived carbons (CDCs) have been synthesised through chlorina- tion of VC, TiC, WC, TaC, NbC, HfC and ZrC at different temperatures. The aim of the investigation was to systematically study changes of struc- tural and adsorption properties depending on the synthesis conditions. CDCs were characterised using nitrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron micros- copy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The studies revealed the CDCs structures to range from amorphous to ordered, from microporous to mesoporous. It was found that structural ordering and porosity can be modi- fied by: i) synthesis temperature, ii) precursor, iii) density and volume of precursor, iv) catalysts, v) incorporation of nitrogen in to carbide structure, and CDCs can be tuned up to the demanded quality. They also exhibited a high potential for methane storage. iii iv LIST OF PUBLICATIONS Paper I. Porosity development along the synthesis of carbons from metal carbides S.

  • Crystal Structure of a Material Is Way in Which Atoms, Ions, Molecules Are Spatially Arranged in 3-D Space
    Crystalline Structures – The Basics •Crystal structure of a material is way in which atoms, ions, molecules are spatially arranged in 3-D space. •Crystal structure = lattice (unit cell geometry) + basis (atom, ion, or molecule positions placed on lattice points within the unit cell). •A lattice is used in context when describing crystalline structures, means a 3-D array of points in space. Every lattice point must have identical surroundings. •Unit cell: smallest repetitive volume •Each crystal structure is built by stacking which contains the complete lattice unit cells and placing objects (motifs, pattern of a crystal. A unit cell is chosen basis) on the lattice points: to represent the highest level of geometric symmetry of the crystal structure.

  • Determination of Focal Length of a Converging Lens and Mirror
    Physics 41- Lab 5 Determination of Focal Length of A Converging Lens and Mirror Objective: Apply the thin-lens equation and the mirror equation to determine the focal length of a converging (biconvex) lens and mirror. Apparatus: Biconvex glass lens, spherical concave mirror, meter ruler, optical bench, lens holder, self-illuminated object (generally a vertical arrow), screen. Background In class you have studied the physics of thin lenses and spherical mirrors. In today's lab, we will analyze several physical configurations using both biconvex lenses and concave mirrors. The components of the experiment, that is, the optics device (lens or mirror), object and image screen, will be placed on a meter stick and may be repositioned easily. The meter stick is used to determine the position of each component. For our object, we will make use of a light source with some distinguishing marking, such as an arrow or visible filament. Light from the object passes through the lens and the resulting image is focused onto a white screen. One characteristic feature of all thin lenses and concave mirrors is the focal length, f, and is defined as the image distance of an object that is positioned infinitely far way. The focal lengths of a biconvex lens and a concave mirror are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. Notice the incoming light rays from the object are parallel, indicating the object is very far away. The point, C, in Figure 2 marks the center of curvature of the mirror. The distance from C to any point on the mirror is known as the radius of curvature, R.

    Identifying the elastic isotropy of architectured materials based on deep learning method Anran Wei a, Jie Xiong b, Weidong Yang c, Fenglin Guo a, d, * a Department of Engineering Mechanics, School of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Civil Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China b Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China c School of Aerospace Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China d State Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China * Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: With the achievement on the additive manufacturing, the mechanical properties of architectured materials can be precisely designed by tailoring microstructures. As one of the primary design objectives, the elastic isotropy is of great significance for many engineering applications. However, the prevailing experimental and numerical methods are normally too costly and time-consuming to determine the elastic isotropy of architectured materials with tens of thousands of possible microstructures in design space. The quick mechanical characterization is thus desired for the advanced design of architectured materials. Here, a deep learning-based approach is developed as a portable and efficient tool to identify the elastic isotropy of architectured materials directly from the images of their representative microstructures with arbitrary component distributions. The measure of elastic isotropy for architectured materials is derived firstly in this paper to construct a database with associated images of microstructures. Then a convolutional neural network is trained with the database. It is found that the convolutional neural network shows good performance on the isotropy identification.

  • How Does the Light Adjustable Lens Work? What Should I Expect in The
    How does the Light Adjustable Lens work? The unique feature of the Light Adjustable Lens is that the shape and focusing characteristics can be changed after implantation in the eye using an office-based UV light source called a Light Delivery Device or LDD. The Light Adjustable Lens itself has special particles (called macromers), which are distributed throughout the lens. When ultraviolet (UV) light from the LDD is directed to a specific area of the lens, the particles in the path of the light connect with other particles (forming polymers). The remaining unconnected particles then move to the exposed area. This movement causes a highly predictable change in the curvature of the lens. The new shape of the lens will match the prescription you selected during your eye exam. What should I expect in the period after cataract surgery? Please follow all instructions provided to you by your eye doctor and staff, including wearing of the UV-blocking glasses that will be provided to you. As with any cataract surgery, your vision may not be perfect after surgery. While your eye doctor selected the lens he or she anticipated would give you the best possible vision, it was only an estimate. Fortunately, you have selected the Light Adjustable Lens! In the next weeks, you and your eye doctor will work together to optimize your vision. Please make sure to pay close attention to your vision and be prepared to discuss preferences with your eye doctor. Why do I have to wear UV-blocking glasses? The UV-blocking glasses you are provided with protect the Light Adjustable Lens from UV light sources other than the LDD that your doctor will use to optimize your vision.

  • ROLLING of METAL (Auxiliary Operations Used in Connection With
    CPC - B21B - 2017.08 B21B ROLLING OF METAL (auxiliary operations used in connection with metal- working operations covered in B21, see B21C; bending by rolling B21D; manufacture of particular objects, e.g. screws, wheels, rings, barrels, balls, by rolling B21H; pressure welding by means of a rolling mill B23K 20/04) Definition statement This place covers: Methods and devices for rolling of metal. Rolling is a metal forming process in which metal is passed through a pair of rotating rolls for plastic deformation of the metall. Rolling is classified according to the temperature of the metal rolled. If the temperature of the metal is above its recrystallization temperature, then the process is termed as hot rolling. If the temperature of the metal is below its recrystallization temperature, the process is termed as cold rolling. A rolling mill is a machine for plastic deformation of metal between rotating rolls. In a broader sense, a rolling mill is an automatic system or line of machines that performs both rolling and auxiliary operations: transport of the original billet from the stock to the heating furnaces and the mill rolls, transfer of the rolled material from one groove to another, turning, transport of the metal after rolling, cutting into sections, marking or stamping, trimming, packing, and conveyance to the stock of finished product. This subclass includes the following main groups: Rolling of metal in general: • Methods or devices in general B21B 1/00, B21B 11/00 - B21B 13/00 • Control B21B 37/00 • Measuring B21B 38/00 • Operation B21B 35/00, B21B 39/00, B21B 41/00 • Details of rolling mills B21B 27/00, B21B 29/00, B21B 31/00 • Maintenance of rolling rolls B21B 28/00 • Safety devices B21B 33/00 • Cooling beds and accessories B21B 43/00 Rolling of special formats: • tube rolling B21B 17/00, B21B 19/00, B21B 23/00 1 B21B (continued) CPC - B21B - 2017.08 • accessories for tube rolling B21B 25/00 • Extending closed shapes of metal bands B21B 5/00 Rolling of special alloys: B21B 3/00 Rolling of metal under special conditions (e.g.
