Abstract: Large loop source TEM method has played an important role in minerals and engineering exploration. But there is a strong border effect when one explains by central loop later-time apparent resistivity. In this paper, a method was used to calculate all-time apparent resistivity by magnetic dipoles composing loop. For 1D forward data, all-time apparent resistivity was computed and compared with later-time apparent resistivity. Conclusions have been drawn that all-time apparent resistivity has no border effect on homogeneous ground model; but for complex layered model, all-time apparent resistivity border effect is reflected in vicinity of false extreme point of apparent resistivity curve, and is much weaker than later-time apparent resistivity border effect. The conclusions are conducive to a correct understanding of using all-time apparent resistivity to eliminate border effect and guide correct interpretation of measurement data.

Abstract: For hot water heating direct return system, the common hydraulic calculation method in engineering design is constant temperature drop method,which is calculated from the farthest riser loop. Due to the limit of the minimum pipe size, the method is usually difficult to achieve the hydraulic balance for every riser loop, and it needs the utilization of valves to meet the need. In this paper, through a calculation example, it has explained that every riser loop is very easy to achieve hydraulic balance without the utilization of valves when the system is calculated from the nearest riser loop. Besides, the calculation order of this method has been given.

Abstract: This paper introduced the application of the loop on the hot strip mill. The loop mainly support the strip steel, form the loop variable which can adjust the dynamic speed of the mill, keep the pulling force of the strip steel between the framework, participate the speed control of the framework of the finishing rolling and the quality of the strip steel is ensured.

Abstract: It is widely acknowledged within the textile engineering community that Shape Memory Alloys (SMA), exhibit great potential for several applications. This paper presents the research undertaken at the University of Minho aiming to study the behaviour of weft-knitted fabrics produced with SMA nitinol^® wires. SMA nitinol^® wires of type B (which shows shape memory effect at body temperature) of 50, 127 and 210 µm diameters have been used to produce weft-knitted fabrics with different loop types, e.g. stitch, tuck and miss. The influence of the loop type on the performance of the weft-knitted fabric, in terms of energy absorption, has been analyzed. Tensile tests were carried out according to ISO1462 standard, using a H100KS Hounsfield universal testing instrument. The results aim to help future applications of SMA in the development of new textile materials.

Abstract: This work concerns the shape identification of curvilinear objects, for example bent beams or wires in mechanics. The beam’s digital picture is analyzed with the introduced Virtual Image Correlation method. This one consists in finding the optimal correlation between the beam’s image and a virtual beam, whose curvature field is described by a truncated series. The gray level and amplitude of the virtual beam does not need to reproduce exactly the ones of the physical beam image. The analytical form of the optimal shape allows one to derive mechanical properties: the identification of the Young’s modulus of a bar is given as an example. We will also show the robustness of the method with regards to the quality of the image.
