Abstract To investigate the flow and heat transfer process of blast furnace slag through the slag trench after the slag is discharged, a three-dimensional physical model is established and simulated according to the actual size of the slag trench and the physical properties of the high-temperature slag. The temperature fied and flow field distribution of the high-temperature slag liquid inside the slag trench is obtained by numerical simulation under different working conditions, and the effects of operating conditions such as slag trench inclination, high-temperature slag inlet flow rate, and inlet temperature are investigated. The results show… More >

Abstract An isolation trench is a simple and effective method to isolate structural vibrations originating from sources of vibration other than earthquakes (machines, traffic, explosions, etc.); however, there is still not a conclusive depth of the isolation trench for frame structures. To investigate the isolation effect of a trench in the frame structure designed for ground vibration, both a field test and finite element analysis were conducted to analyze the reduced effect of the vibration. The vibration reduction analysis was based on the dynamic equation and wave theory. Considering the vibration control of an industrial plant… More >

Abstract The Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic topology that provides a variety of executions in various disciplines. The most sticky topic in organizational fields was MANET protection. MANET is helpless against various threats that affect its usability and accessibility. The dark opening assault is considered one of the most far-reaching dynamic assaults that deteriorate the organization's execution and reliability by dropping all approaching packages via the noxious node. The Dark Opening Node aims to deceive any node in the company that wishes to connect to another node by pretending to get the most delicate… More >

Abstract For the application of inspecting the construction status of distribution network poles, this paper proposed a novel detection technology for base plates, pulling plates, chucks (abbreviated as BPC) which are buried together with the power poles based on exerting external current excitation. The detection system consists of lead wires for BPC, an excitation generating circuit, a signal receiving coil, a signal conditioning circuit and an embedded processor. Compared with the traditional transient electromagnetic method, this technology is more suitable for detecting BPC which are buried shallowly, with higher sensitivity for depth changes and higher signal-to-noise More >

Abstract This work is based upon a careful rendering of mechanics and mathematics to describe the phenomena that influence the stress engendered by the Shallow Trench Isolation process. The diffusion-reaction problem is posed in terms of fundamental mass balance laws. Finite strain kinematics is invoked to model the large expansion of SiO₂, dielectrics are modelled as viscoelastic solids and annealing-induced density relaxation of SiO₂ is incorporated as a history-dependent process. A levelset framework is used to describe the moving Si/SiO₂ interface. Sophisticated finite element methods are employed to solve the mathematical equations posed for each phenomenon. These include More >
