Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir-Welded Joints of Aluminum Alloys

Mechanical properties, intergranular corrosion, and a chemical composition of the welded joint, produced with friction stir welding of a 6061T651 aluminum alloy were investigated. The results show that the welded seam is uniform, with a smooth surface. There are no deformation and defects, such as cracks or gas-filled porosity. The average tensile strength of welded joints is 73% of that of the base material, while the average yield strength and elongation are only 54% and 43% of those of the base material. After intergranular corrosion, microhardness changes evidently and corrosion resistance is lower in the root of the weld nugget zone. The change in microhardness is not pronounced in the weld nugget zone and welded surface, but the change in microhardness is well-pronounced and corrosion resistance is lower in the thermomechanically- and heat-affected zones.Исследованы механические свойства, межкристаллитная коррозия и химический состав сварного шва, полученного ротационной сваркой трением, алюминиевого сплава 6061Т651. Результаты показывают, что сварной шов равномерен, имеет гладкую поверхность. Отсутствуют деформация и такие дефекты, как трещины или газонасыщенная пористость. Средний предел прочности при растяжении для сварных соединений составляет 73% такового для основного материала, тогда как предел текучести и удлинение лишь 54 и 43% соответственно для основного материала. После межкристаллитной коррозии микротвердость явно изменяется, и коррозионная стойкость ниже у основания зоны ядра сварной точки. В зоне ядра сварной точки и на поверхности не наблюдается изменения микротвердости, хотя изменение микротвердости явно выражено, а коррозионная стойкость ниже в зонах термомеханического и термического влияния

A hybrid algorithm to improve the accuracy of support vector machines on skewed data-sets

Over the past few years, has been shown that generalization power of Support Vector Machines (SVM) falls dramatically on imbalanced data-sets. In this paper, we propose a new method to improve accuracy of SVM on imbalanced data-sets. To get this outcome, firstly, we used undersampling and SVM to obtain the initial SVs and a sketch of the hyperplane. These support vectors help to generate new artificial instances, which will take part as the initial population of a genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm improves the population in artificial instances from one generation to another and eliminates instances that produce noise in the hyperplane. Finally, the generated and evolved data were included in the original data-set for minimizing the imbalance and improving the generalization ability of the SVM on skewed data-sets

Sign reversal of the Hall resistance in the mixed-state of La1.89_{1.89} Ce0.11_{0.11}CuO4_{4} and La1.89_{1.89}Ce0.11_{0.11}(Cu0.99_{0.99}Co0.01_{0.01})O4_{4} thin films

The transport properties of La$_{1.89}$Ce$_{0.11}$CuO$_{4}$(LCCO) and La$_{1.89}$Ce$_{0.11}$(Cu$_{0.99}$Co$_{0.01}$)O$_{4}$ (LCCO:Co) superconducting thin films are investigated. When the external field $\bf H$ is applied along the crystallographic c-axis, a double sign reversal of the Hall voltage in the mixed state of LCCO:Co thin films is observed whereas a single sign reversal is detected in LCCO. A double sign reversal of the Hall signal in LCCO can be recovered if the magnetic field is tilted away from the plane of the film. We find that the transition from one to two of the Hall sign reversal coincides with the change in the pinning from strong to weak. This temperature/field induced transition is caused either by the magnetic impurities in LCCO:Co or by the coupling between the pancake vortices and the in-plane Josephson vortices in LCCO. These results are in agreement with early theoretical and numerical predictions.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, the proceedings of VORTEX VII in Physica

A study of charged kappa in J/ψ→K±Ksπ∓π0J/\psi \to K^{\pm} K_s \pi^{\mp} \pi^0

Based on $58 \times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected by BESII, the decay $J/\psi \to K^{\pm} K_s \pi^{\mp} \pi^0$ is studied. In the invariant mass spectrum recoiling against the charged $K^*(892)^{\pm}$, the charged $\kappa$ particle is found as a low mass enhancement. If a Breit-Wigner function of constant width is used to parameterize the kappa, its pole locates at $(849 \pm 77 ^{+18}_{-14}) -i (256 \pm 40 ^{+46}_{-22})$ MeV/$c^2$. Also in this channel, the decay $J/\psi \to K^*(892)^+ K^*(892)^-$ is observed for the first time. Its branching ratio is $(1.00 \pm 0.19 ^{+0.11}_{-0.32}) \times 10^{-3}$.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure

Partial wave analysis of J/\psi \to \gamma \phi \phi

Using $5.8 \times 10^7 J/\psi$ events collected in the BESII detector, the radiative decay $J/\psi \to \gamma \phi \phi \to \gamma K^+ K^- K^0_S K^0_L$ is studied. The $\phi\phi$ invariant mass distribution exhibits a near-threshold enhancement that peaks around 2.24 GeV/$c^{2}$. A partial wave analysis shows that the structure is dominated by a $0^{-+}$ state ($\eta(2225)$) with a mass of $2.24^{+0.03}_{-0.02}{}^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$ GeV/$c^{2}$ and a width of $0.19 \pm 0.03^{+0.06}_{-0.04}$ GeV/$c^{2}$. The product branching fraction is: $Br(J/\psi \to \gamma \eta(2225))\cdot Br(\eta(2225)\to \phi\phi) = (4.4 \pm 0.4 \pm 0.8)\times 10^{-4}$.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures. corrected proof for journa

The σ\sigma pole in J/ψ→ωπ+π−J/\psi \to \omega \pi^+ \pi^-

Using a sample of 58 million $J/\psi$ events recorded in the BESII detector, the decay $J/\psi \to \omega \pi^+ \pi^-$ is studied. There are conspicuous $\omega f_2(1270)$ and $b_1(1235)\pi$ signals. At low $\pi \pi$ mass, a large broad peak due to the $\sigma$ is observed, and its pole position is determined to be $(541 \pm 39)$ - $i$ $(252 \pm 42)$ MeV from the mean of six analyses. The errors are dominated by the systematic errors.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, submitted to PL

Direct Measurements of the Branching Fractions for D0→K−e+νeD^0 \to K^-e^+\nu_e and D0→π−e+νeD^0 \to \pi^-e^+\nu_e and Determinations of the Form Factors f+K(0)f_{+}^{K}(0) and f+π(0)f^{\pi}_{+}(0)

The absolute branching fractions for the decays $D^0 \to K^-e ^+\nu_e$ and $D^0 \to \pi^-e^+\nu_e$ are determined using $7584\pm 198 \pm 341$ singly tagged $\bar D^0$ sample from the data collected around 3.773 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC. In the system recoiling against the singly tagged $\bar D^0$ meson, $104.0\pm 10.9$ events for $D^0 \to K^-e ^+\nu_e$ and $9.0 \pm 3.6$ events for $D^0 \to \pi^-e^+\nu_e$ decays are observed. Those yield the absolute branching fractions to be $BF(D^0 \to K^-e^+\nu_e)=(3.82 \pm 0.40\pm 0.27)$ and $BF(D^0 \to \pi^-e^+\nu_e)=(0.33 \pm 0.13\pm 0.03)$. The vector form factors are determined to be $|f^K_+(0)| = 0.78 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.03$ and $|f^{\pi}_+(0)| = 0.73 \pm 0.14 \pm 0.06$. The ratio of the two form factors is measured to be $|f^{\pi}_+(0)/f^K_+(0)|= 0.93 \pm 0.19 \pm 0.07$.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

Measurements of the observed cross sections for e+e−→e^+e^-\to exclusive light hadrons containing π0π0\pi^0\pi^0 at s=3.773\sqrt s= 3.773, 3.650 and 3.6648 GeV

By analyzing the data sets of 17.3, 6.5 and 1.0 pb$^{-1}$ taken, respectively, at $\sqrt s= 3.773$, 3.650 and 3.6648 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC collider, we measure the observed cross sections for $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0\pi^0$, $K^+K^-\pi^0\pi^0$, $2(\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)$, $K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0\pi^0$ and $3(\pi^+\pi^-)\pi^0\pi^0$ at the three energy points. Based on these cross sections we set the upper limits on the observed cross sections and the branching fractions for $\psi(3770)$ decay into these final states at 90% C.L..Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
