Hydrolysis Reactions of p-Nitrophenyl Trifluoroacetate and S-Ethyl Trifluorothioacetate by Jack B. Suggs, Joshua J. Melko

“…The hydrolysis of S-ethyl trifluorothioacetate was much slower than p-nitrophenyl trifluoroacetate for this reason. We explored differences in the reaction orders with respect to water and examined details of calculated potential energy surfaces of these hydrolysis reactions, highlighting the roles of solvation effects and transition state structures.…”

STUDY ON VIBRATION FATIGUE CHARACTERISTICS OF SAFETY HANGER FOR METRO VEHICLE by ZHANG FuBing, WU PingBo, QU Sheng

“…Aiming at analyzing the reason of damage of safety hanger on metro vehicle,the finite element model and modal test was conducted for modal analysis.Finally,the natural modes near 340 Hz and 990 Hz were obtained.At the same time,in order to obtain the acceleration and dynamic stress level of the safety hanger in the operation process,a line tracking test was performed on the vehicle.According to the test data,it was found that due to the presence of rail corrugation excitation,the energy of the dynamic stress and acceleration at 340 Hz increased sharply,which indicates that the first-order mode was excited to generate resonance.According to the dynamic stress data before and after the rail corrugation,the fatigue life of the safety hanger was evaluated and compared.It is found that the fatigue damage caused by the rail corrugation greatly shortens the service life of the safety hanger.…”

Degradation State Identification of Cracked Ultrasonic Motor by Means of Fault Feature Extraction Method by Guoqing An, Hongru Li

“…The cracking of piezoelectric ceramics is the main reason of failure of an ultrasonic motor. Since the fault information is too weak to reflect the condition of piezoelectric ceramics especially in the early degradation stage, a fault feature extraction method based on multiscale morphological spectrum and permutation entropy is proposed. …”
