An Experimental Investigation on Hydrostatic Extrusion of Tubes

Through qualitative and quantitative analysis of the specimens hydroextruded, we explore the effecis of the technology parameters on the rules of the metal-flow deformation. Visioplasticity method is applied to numerical analysis of tubes(or rods). Based on the results of numerical analysis, it is noticed that there is considerable tensile strain in the inner wall of the billet near the inner side of the outlet of the die. The place and the form of fractures are discussed. In analysing some groups of specimens with variable parameters, different materials and different heat-treatment techniques are used. It should be pointed out here that rules of axisymmetric laminal flow of metallic billets hydroextruded are dependent upon the material and mechanical boundary conditions. Such flow rules have influenced not only the stress fields of the deformation zone of billet, but also the distribution of residual stresses of the tube. The optimization of the parameters is also discussed.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ENGLISH ENVIRONMENT IN ENGLISH TEACHING

Although language study can be very interesting, it is admittedly about the most complex type of learning that a student can undertake, it is very important that we realize that language study is different from the study of science or mathematics and is more complex. Therefore the mechanical methods employed in the learning of multiplication tables, for example, may not be he most appropriate methods to use in teaching language. Real ability with language is the ability to communicate ideas. A student may know a lot of sentence patterns and rules of grammar and     

The Stress of English Compound Words

By way of summary, can we formulate any, general rules concerning stress of compound words? As a result of this study, what ways may be pointed to for solving the difficulty? In the first place, the tendency towards stress seems to be different for the two main groups studied, compounds terminating in nouns and those terminating in adjectives. 55 percent of the compounds ending with nouns were single-stressed, 45 percent double-stressed, that is, for compounds ending in nouns, there is no strong tendency either way. 76 percent of the compounds ending, with adjectives were double-stressed and only about, 23 percent single-stressed; that is, for compounds with adjectives as the second component there is a strong tendency towards double stress. In the second place general rules are not much of a help in determining and learning the stress of individual compounds. One must learn the rule for each class of compounds. In classes where the rule for one form of stress is fixed, asfor double stress of compounds consisting of an adjective plus a past participle, the rule is indeed helpful. But such rules are not many. In the third place, a mastery of certain principles that determine stress is important, for instance, the principle that implied constrast tends to make a compouud single-stressed, even if the compound would otherwise be double-stressed, Also the principles that old recognized compounds would be single-stressed, and that compounds of adjective form when used attributively are single-stressed but when used predicatively, double-stressed. In the fourth place, it is wise to look up every newly-met compound in the dictionary and master its stress. Mastery of those compound words will help in determining the stress of, other newly-met compounds by the use of analogy. Awareness of this problem and attention to it are the first steps toward its solution. Finally,. may Ⅰtake the iiberty of setting forth a few points of advice for the Chinese student of English? Start studying the qnestion of the stress of compounds, master every compound you encounter, make lists of them; classify them and find the rules for each class for yourself inductively. These procedures will take you a long way towards the mastery of the stress of compounds.     

The German Language:Alive or Dead?

The German language is spoken by more than 118 million people worldwide.It is the national language of the Federal Republic of Germany(West Germany),the German Democratic Republic(East Germany),Austria and Switzerland, to onlyname a few.

THE RESPONSIBLITY OF TEACHING

The job of teaching is one of the most important careers that exist in this modern day in which we live. It is much more than a job.

The teacher, though highly regarded and respected, is still one of the lowest paid professionals anywhere in the world. This is sad, but true. An individual seeking to amass a     

INVESTIGATION ON A FLOWRATE MEASURING SYSTEM USING LIGHT FIBRE FLUOROMETERS

In this paper a flowrate measurement method in pipe directly using light fibres with some fluorescent tracer is proposed. This method will work better than traditional tracers measurement such as using radioactive or salt tracers. It is shown that the flowrate signals are sensitive and intensive also if the injected tracer volume is very small and if the tracer concentration is very lew (<10ppm) ico. It is also show that the calibration factor K is constant within a certain flowrate range. An estimation of uncertainty of flowrate measurement is given, which shows that the measuring accuracy can be within ±2%.

Savage''''s Concept of Probability

Starting with personal preference, Savage [3] constructs a foundation theory for probability from the qualitative probability to the quantitative probability and to utility. There are some profound logic connections between three steps in Savage's theory; that is, quantitative concepts properly represent qualitative concepts. Moreover, Savage's definition of subjective probability is in accordance with probability theory, and the theory gives us a rational decision model only if we assume that the weak order preference is rational.
