Abstract: The article presents industrial conditions of manufacturing multi-component heterogeneous mixtures of granular materials. The study analyzed the production technology and devices used for production such as storage siloes, an impact screen, a cyclone separator, a shaving and dust extractor, a screw mixer, a tensometric weigh, a bucket conveyor. A division and the successive stages of manufacturing process has been presented: unloading, receipt and storage of raw materials, quality control of components, technology cleaning and sorting of raw materials, dosage and mixing of feed material, bagging, storage, extraction processes and evaluation of homogeneity in a fodder mixing plant. Moreover the methods of assessing the homogeneity of the multi-component heterogeneous mixtures has been presented. The research was conducted in industrial conditions.

Abstract: A “Multi-component Progressive Cell Balance” approach has been applied to characterize the gas separation of the radial crossflow hollow fiber membrane module. The mathematical model is an indispensable tool to evaluate the separation performance of membrane material towards different components. The approach is required to be implemented since there is scarcely available mathematical model to characterize the two dimensional radial crossflow. In addition, the currently available mathematical model is confined to the ideal binary system, which constraints its applicability in real membrane separation process with many components. The significance of the developed multi-component mathematical model as compared to the model adapting the ideal binary simulation condition is demonstrated in this study.

Abstract: The multi-component AlxCoCrFeNiTi0.5 (x=0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0) high-entropy alloys were prepared by vacuum arc melting. The microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. It was found that the structure transformed from FCC into FCC + BCC + Laves, and finally into BCC with the increase of Al content. The compress test results showed that with the addition of aluminium from 0 to 1.0, the fraction strength increased while plasticity reduced. In the stain rates of 5×10^-3/s and 1×10^-3/s, when x=0.8 the fraction strength achieved maximum and x=0 the plastic was best, the strength of 2879MPa and 2433MPa, the strain of 0.21 and 0.22, respectively. The hardness increased obviously (from Hv479.1 to Hv692.7) when Bcc phase and Laves phase appeared. The analysis revealed that the strengthen mechanism was mainly composed of solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening.

Abstract: Binocular and parallel plate structure load cells are very successful designs for strain based measurements of shear loads. In this paper we use finite element methods (FEM) to investigate the suitability of these two load cell designs for use in a force plate and compare the sensitivity of these two force plates to that of the Heglund’s force plate. Each force plate is also sensitive to two moments with axis in the same plane as the force plate. If the force plate is to be used as a two component force-moment sensor, we determine which moment axis is best to use. Finally, a novel six-axis load cell is modelled by assembling three force plates together with rotational symmetry. The sensitivity of the six-axis load cell is calculated using FEM. Analysis of the six axis load cell predicts good measurement sensitivity and isotropy while maintaining low interference between measurement axes. Further benefits of the load cell design are discussed.

Abstract: The hemp, anti-bacteria fine rayon and micro-porous polyester fiber were select to spin into the multi-component blending yarn by ring spinning process. The performances of these fibers were analysed, the spinning process were presented. The multi-component blending yarn of Hemp/Anti bacteria fine rayon/micro-porous polyester fiber of excellent was spun successfully, and the performance of yarn was examined and discussed.

Abstract: The development of multi-component blending yarn enlarging the fiber sources, improving performance of yarns, making yarns functional, enhancing the look and feel of the yarn, so it was developed rapidly. However, different fiber component differs in morphology and performance, which making the control of the spinning process and yarn quality difficult, the main problems in developing multi-component blending yarn, i.e. the choice of fiber, blending ways, the choice of the blending ratio, the spinning ways, spinning process, are summarized here, which became the technical base of the production of multi-component blending yarn of high quality.

Abstract: Major works concentrated on the energy conversion from mechanical friction work to heat; emphasized on the immediate contact surface of work material and rotating welding tool but with no in-depth analytical study to relate the loads that are transferred to the work material and the welding fixture especially at early stage of heat generation. In this work, a mathematical model is developed to predict three-dimensional force components and axial torque of the rotating tool based on contact mechanic principle in relation to Al6061 temperature-dependent material properties. The model shows the ability to be possibly adapted for different metallic material and physical properties. It suggests the exerted torque and loads calculation endured by work material involving friction and shear mechanism of two static-dynamic contacting surface; rotating rotational tool and the fixed work material, to be used as one of the option for optimization of the welding process such as to determine the ratio of slip, non-slip contact condition through comparisons of experimental and computer simulation on the Friction Stir Welding process.

Abstract: Multi-component ZnO-In2O3-SnO2 thin films have been prepared by RF magnetron co-sputtering using targets composed of In4Sn3O12(99.99%) [1] and ZnO(99.99%) at room temperature. In4Sn3O12 contains less In than commercial ITO, so that it lowers cost. Working pressure was held at 3 mtorr flowing Ar gas 20 sccm and sputtering time was 30 min. RF power ratio [RF1 / ( RF1 + RF2 )] of two guns in sputtering system was varied from 0 to 1. Each RF power was varied 0~100W respectively. The thicknesses of the films were 350~650nm. The composition concentrations of the each film were measured with EPMA and AES. The low resistivity of 1-2 × 10-3 and an average transmittance above 80% in the visible range were attained for the films over a range of δ (0.3 ≤ δ ≤ 0.5). The films also showed a high chemical stability with time and a good uniformity.

Abstract: A new mathematical simulation technique for physico-mechanical properties of multicomponent powder materials is proposed in this paper. The main advantage of the technique is that finite elements representing different components are placed into a common mesh and may exchange their properties. The input data are properties of components and specified value of porosity. The output data are properties of material after sintering. The technique allows us to investigate the influence of each component of a material on the properties and distribution of properties inside the sample. The comparative analysis of materials with different compositions is based on simulation results that are well concordant with the results of the laboratory experiments.
