Microstructural Evolutions and Mechanical Properties of Drawn Medium Carbon Steel Wire

International audienceThis study focuses on the evolution in the microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of medium carbon steel wires obtained by wire drawing at Tréfissoud Company for the manufacturing of the spring mattress. Wire drawing induces elongation of grains in the direction of drawing with the development of the fibre texture parallel to the wire axis. Kinking and bending of cementite lamellae were observed during the drawing process. The work was carried out respectively on three states, wire rod and drawn states for two different amounts (ε %=43,6 and 60 %), using the optical and SEM microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and X-ray diffraction analysis for examination of the microstructure and texture evolution, the hardness Vickers and tensile test to follow the curing of the studied wires

Dynamic Analysis of Complex Synchronization Schemes between Integer Order and Fractional Order Chaotic Systems with Different Dimensions

We present new approaches to synchronize different dimensional master and slave systems described by integer order and fractional order differential equations. Based on fractional order Lyapunov approach and integer order Lyapunov stability method, effective control schemes to rigorously study the coexistence of some synchronization types between integer order and fractional order chaotic systems with different dimensions are introduced. Numerical examples are used to validate the theoretical results and to verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes

Coexistence of identical synchronization, antiphase synchronization and inverse full state hybrid projective synchronization in different dimensional fractional-order chaotic systems

Abstract The topic related to the coexistence of different synchronization types between fractional-order chaotic systems is almost unexplored in the literature. Referring to commensurate and incommensurate fractional systems, this paper presents a new approach to rigorously study the coexistence of some synchronization types between nonidentical systems characterized by different dimensions and different orders. In particular, the paper shows that identical synchronization (IS), antiphase synchronization (AS), and inverse full state hybrid projective synchronization (IFSHPS) coexist when synchronizing a three-dimensional master system with a fourth-dimensional slave system. The approach, which can be applied to a wide class of chaotic/hyperchaotic fractional-order systems in the master-slave configuration, is based on two new theorems involving the fractional Lyapunov method and stability theory of linear fractional systems. Two examples are provided to highlight the capability of the conceived method. In particular, referring to commensurate systems, the coexistence of IS, AS, and IFSHPS is successfully achieved between the chaotic three-dimensional Rössler system of order 2.7 and the hyperchaotic four-dimensional Chen system of order 3.84. Finally, referring to incommensurate systems, the coexistence of IS, AS, and IFSHPS is successfully achieved between the chaotic three-dimensional Lü system of order 2.955 and the hyperchaotic four-dimensional Lorenz system of order 3.86

Function-based hybrid synchronization types and their coexistence in non-identical fractional-order chaotic systems

Abstract This paper presents new results related to the coexistence of function-based hybrid synchronization types between non-identical incommensurate fractional-order systems characterized by different dimensions and orders. Specifically, a new theorem is illustrated, which ensures the coexistence of the full-state hybrid function projective synchronization (FSHFPS) and the inverse full-state hybrid function projective synchronization (IFSHFPS) between wide classes of three-dimensional master systems and four-dimensional slave systems. In order to show the capability of the approach, a numerical example is reported, which illustrates the coexistence of FSHFPS and IFSHFPS between the incommensurate chaotic fractional-order unified system and the incommensurate hyperchaotic fractional-order Lorenz system

New type of chaos synchronization in discrete-time systems: the F-M synchronization

In this paper, a new type of synchronization for chaotic (hyperchaotic) maps with different dimensions is proposed. The novel scheme is called F – M synchronization, since it combines the inverse generalized synchronization (based on a functional relationship F) with the matrix projective synchronization (based on a matrix M). In particular, the proposed approach enables F – M synchronization with index d to be achieved between n-dimensional drive system map and m-dimensional response system map, where the synchronization index d corresponds to the dimension of the synchronization error. The technique, which exploits nonlinear controllers and Lyapunov stability theory, proves to be effective in achieving the F – M synchronization not only when the synchronization index d equals n or m, but even if the synchronization index d is larger than the map dimensions n and m. Finally, simulation results are reported, with the aim to illustrate the capabilities of the novel scheme proposed herein
