Experimental Study on Type I Fracture Toughness and Compressive Strength of Compacted Clay by LIU Hui, JIN Songyang, ZHANG Haoyu

“…The results show that:In the three-point bending test, the prefabricated crack length of the compacted clay needs tobe controlled at 15 to 30 mm to truly reflect the type I fracture toughness of the soil; Thetype I fracture toughness and unconfined compressive strength of the compacted clay both increasefirst and then decrease with the increase of the water content, so the compacted soil can maximizeits compression and fracture resistance when it is constructed at the optimal moisture content;Under different water content conditions, the type I fracture toughness and unconfined compressivestrength of compacted soil have a good linear correlation.…”

The effect of testing procedure on DSC measurements of Gd-Ti-Zr alloy using ZrO2 container by Turalska P., Homa M., Sobczak N., Gazda A., Wierzbicka-Miernik A., Kaban I.

“…The conducted research has demonstrated methodological difficulties accompanying measurements of the thermophysical properties of Gd-rich alloys by the container-assisted DSC method, particularly when the tests are performed in flowing argon atmosphere with significantly reduced oxygen content. Under non-oxidizing conditions, the degradation of ZrO2 container can take place during DSC testing because the selected Gd40Ti30Zr30 alloy reacts with the ZrO2 to form a continuous interfacial reaction product layer. …”

Effect of Axial Clearance on Volumetric Efficiency of Non-circular Planetary Gear Hydraulic Motors by Li Xiang, Peng Xianlong

“…Firstly, according to the principle of the gap leakage in the rotating plane and the friction force in the fluid, the leakage and power loss formula between the wheels were derived, so as to calculate the optimal solution of the axial clearance of the motor under 30 MPa pressure difference. Secondly, on the basis of considering the manufacturing error, based on the dynamic grid and user-defined function (UDF) programming technology, the leakage amount and volumetric efficiency of the motor under different axial clearances were detected and analyzed, and the theoretical volumetric efficiency of the motor under the same conditions was calculated. …”
