The Mossbauer spectroscopy studies of retained austenite

Purpose: of this paper: This paper completes the knowledge concerning the mechanisms of destabilization and properties of retained austenite. Investigations were performed on 120MnCrMoV8-6-4-2 steel, which was designed in 1998, in Phase Transformations Research Group of Department of Physical and Powder Metallurgy at the Faculty of Metals Engineering and Industrial Computer Science at AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow. Design/methodology/approach: The samples of investigated steel were austenitized at the temperature of 900ºC and hardened in oil. Next, three from four samples were tempered. Tempering consisted of heating the samples up to chosen temperatures with a heating rate of 0.05ºC/s and, after reaching desired temperature, fast cooling. CEMS technique was applied for Mössbauer studies. Findings: Stabilized by heating up to 80ºC retained austenite, in the result of mechanical destabilization, transforms into low-temperature tempered martensite, with the structure of low bainite (into the structural constituent in which ε carbide exists). Research limitations/implications: The influence of the temperature, up to which the samples were heated during tempering, on the mechanical stability of retained austenite and on the products of its transformation, was determined. Practical implications: Changes occuring in retained austenite during tempering of steel of high hardenability (hardness), developed for potential applications on tools of enhanced wear resistance, were described. Originality/value: Mössbauer spectroscopy was applied not only for qantitative analysis of retained austenite, but also to analyze the values of quadrupole splitting and isomeric shift, what resulted in significant conclusions concerning the changes in its chemical composition, microstructure, and the level of stresses being present in it

Bridging senses of place and mobilities scholarships to inform social-ecological systems governance:A research agenda

Uncertainty and change are increasingly commonplace as communities respond to impacts of social-ecological change including climate change, and dangerous levels of pollution. Given the extent of these crises, new approaches are needed to support responses. Here we identify challenges and discuss insights that the nexus of Senses of place (SoP) and mobilities research offers in navigating such uncertainty. We conducted a two-round Delphi, followed by a workshop, and collaborative writing process with a global network of researchers with expertise in either or both SoP and mobilities research. Participants identified five challenges at the place-mobility nexus that emerge when a social-ecological system is disrupted. We use the 2022 Odra River fish die-off to exemplify the identified challenges: 1) accounting for power dynamics, inequalities and motility; 2) doing justice to more-than human actors; 3) integrating multiple and sometimes nested spatial scales; 4) considering temporalities of place and mobilities, and 5) embracing multisensoriality. To address these challenges, we recommend drawing on diverse methods and knowledge co-creation processes that combine more-than-human perspectives, multisensoriality, and engage in the dynamic relations between places to understand people-place disruptions in the face of socio-spatial precarity. Addressing such knowledge gaps requires stronger collaboration of mobilities and place researchers.</p

Affective interpersonal touch in close relationships: A cross-cultural perspective

Interpersonal touch behavior differs across cultures, yet no study to date has systematically tested for cultural variation in affective touch, nor examined the factors that might account for this variability. Here, over 14,000 individuals from 45 countries were asked whether they embraced, stroked, kissed, or hugged their partner, friends, and youngest child during the week preceding the study. We then examined a range of hypothesized individual-level factors (sex, age, parasitic history, conservatism, religiosity, and preferred interpersonal distance) and cultural-level factors (regional temperature, parasite stress, regional conservatism, collectivism, and religiosity) in predicting these affective-touching behaviors. Our results indicate that affective touch was most prevalent in relationships with partners and children, and its diversity was relatively higher in warmer, less conservative, and religious countries, and among younger, female, and liberal people. This research allows for a broad and integrated view of the bases of cross-cultural variability in affective touch.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

Short-circuit duration and dynamic forces in central section of substation

Presented topic is the continuation of investigations concerning the estimation of short-circuit duration when computing the short-circuit effects using probabilistic methods. In the paper, an expanded model of distribution substation for simulation-based analysis of the short-circuit conditions and dynamic effects in the central section of bus-bar is presented. In the model, the operation of protections in the transformer bay has also been considered. The results of simulations aiming to assess the frequency of occurrence of the defined values of short-circuit current, short-circuit duration and dynamic forces are reported. Also, the question: “How the transformer’s protections involved in simulation affect the simulated short-circuit conditions?” has been answered. Computations have been carried out for four different EAZ system configurations

Probabilistic assessment of the short-circuit duration on the 220 kV transmission line basing on simulation analysis

In the paper, the problem of defining the short circuit duration time for the short-circuit effect calculations, especially thermal and electromagnetic ones, has been discussed. In author’s opinion, the results of probabilistic research could be helpful when resolving the problem. Therefore, a tailored simulation model based on the analysis of the protections and circuit breakers operation during the transmission lines fault clearance has been developed. Due to the results of simulation study, the found values of the fault duration time could be related to the expected risk of their exceeding depending on both the protection system configuration and the type of the circuit breakers applied
