Defect “steel-melting captivity and swelling” on the inner surface of seamless hot-rolled pipes. Characteristic genetic features, the causes of formation and measures of prevention... by I. A. Kovaleva, N. A. Khodosovskaya

“…Defects found on the inner surface of the pipes are characterized as steel melting captivity and swelling. The reason for the formation of internal defects of hot rolled pipes «steel-melting captivity and swelling» was the rolling of defects in the macrostructure of the central zone (central porosity and axial liquation) of a continuously cast workpiece with a diameter of 200 mm.…”

Ananlysis of Carbon Emission Reduction and Power Dominance between Single Manufacturer and Single Retailer in Regulatory Cap and Trade System by Liang-jie Xia, Hua-wei Zhi

“…The research shows some important conclusions: in the supply chain, the dominant manufacturer is not able to encourage the retailer to improve its promotion level by increasing its carbon cutting level, but the optimal emission reduction level increases with the dominant retailer’s promotion level; the optimal promotion level, emission reduction, and product demand in a retailer leading supply chain are higher than those in a supply chain dominated by manufacturer; with the new side-payment self-enforcing contract, decentralized decision according to individual rationality incurs a collective reason effect in the centralized setting.…”

Comparison Study of Vibration Control Effects between Suspended Tuned Mass Damper and Particle Damper by Zheng Lu, Dianchao Wang, Peizhen Li

“…For this test model, the particle damper can improve primary structure’s equivalent damping ratio 19 times to the original one’s, while the tuned mass damper can be 13 times. The reason lies in the fact that the particle damper can dissipate input energy by tuning mass, collision, impact, and friction between particles and the container and the momentum exchange effects between the secondary damper mass and the primary structure.…”
