COMPARATIVE RESEARCHES OF FRACTURES OF HIGH-STRENGTH CAST IRON IN THE AS-CAST AND DEFORMED STATE by A. I. Pokrovsky, I. N. Khrol

Subjects: “…the results of comparative studies of fracture surfaces of high-strength cast iron in the as-cast state and after hot direct extrusion through an aperture of a conical die are presented. the shape change of graphite inclusions and components of the metal matrix is examined with increasing the reduction ratio from 0 (as-cast state) to 80%. for the fist time, using the electrochemical etching of the metal matrix of the cast iron, it is demonstrated experimentally that at plastic deformation the ductile flow of graphite inclusions occurs without fracturing of the latter. the surface morphology of a deformed graphite inclusion is revealed. it is shown that inside the inclusion the strain is distributed non-uniformly: the peripheral zones are deformed to a larger extent while the central part may retain its original radial structure. the fact that the most part of graphite inclusions on the fracture surface of the deformed cast iron appeared undamaged (very small amount of fractured inclusions was observed) testifies against the common opinion that graphite acts as a crack nucleation site. a hypothesis is put forward that the crack nucleates in the metal matrix, presumably at the pearlite/ferrite interface, and propagates from one graphite inclusion to another rounding but not damaging the latter.…”

Near-Fault Ground Motion Influence on the Seismic Responses of a Structure with Viscous Dampers considering SSI Effect by Jinping Yang, Peizhen Li, Hang Jing, Meng Gao

“…In addition, the performance of the structure with viscous dampers is more influenced by the ground motion containing fling-step effect than that with forward-directivity effect. Moreover, the influence of the horizontal component of forward-directivity ground motion on the seismic responses of the structure is more obvious than that of parallel component ground motion. …”

Development of the Nonstationary Incremental Analysis Update Algorithm for Sequential Data Assimilation System by Yoo-Geun Ham, Hyo-Jong Song, Jaehee Jung, Gyu-Ho Lim

“…However, unlike the IAU, the NIAU procedure uses time-evolved forcing using the forward operator as corrections to the model. The solution of the NIAU is superior to that of the forward IAU, of which analysis is performed at the beginning of the time window for adding the IAU forcing, in terms of the accuracy of the analysis field. …”
