基于局部应力应变法的弧齿锥齿轮锻造模具寿命预测 by 高振山, 邓效忠, 陈拂晓, 李天兴

“…Die service life is one of the important factors in influencing the forging cost.The die stress distribution is simulated by using elasto-plastic finite element model.Based on the local stress and strain method,the die stress distribution is calculated from three process factors,which are the addendum transition arc of tooth die,the forming velocity and initial die temperatures,the influence lawof these process factors is analyzed.From the simulation results,tooth die stress concentration positions are located in the tooth tip and tooth toe of tooth die,and it is the main failure mode.As to the addendumof tooth tip,the die service life is directproportional to the three process factors,to the dedendum of the tip and toe,the die service life is reverse proportional to the mentioned process factors.The method of prediction die service life concerned in this research provides technical reference in mass production.…”

Cortisol awakening response in pregnant women with depressive disorders: a potential marker of recovery status from pregnancy to postpartum by Carlinde W. Broeks, Babette Bais, Rien Van, Hilmar H. Bijma, Elisabeth F.C. van Rossum, Witte J.G. Hoogendijk, Mijke P. Lambregtse-Van den Berg, Astrid M. Kamperman

“…Conclusion: Higher AUCi and peak cortisol reactivity of the cortisol awakening response during pregnancy were linked to persistence of depressive symptoms postpartum, suggesting that heightened cortisol reactivity to awakening may indicate persistent stress vulnerability in peripartum depression. Total cortisol output (AUCg) was not predictive of recovery. …”
