The thermally growth oxide (TGO) is one of the most important factors to affect TBC lifetime.
Both β-NiPtAl and γ+γ′ coatings were brittle at room temperature and comparable ductile at high temperature, however, γ+γ′ coatings had a better mechanical properties due to less inter-diffusion during processing [7, 10, 11].

In order to reveal the engineering characteristics of the deep completely decomposed granite soil in Hainan east loop line, a passenger dedicated line, four groups of centrifuge model tests were conducted to study the settlement properties of the subsoils untreated, treated by dynamic compaction, and reinforced with cement-mixed piles, under the action of the embankment, especially the relationship between settlement and time, including the settlement during and post-construction.
The physical and mechanical parameters of the soil are shown in Table 1.
After drying, crushing, and screening through 2 mm sieve, the foundation soil was filled into the model box layer by layer with moisture content and bulk density as control factors.
Taking into account these factors in the centrifugal model tests still need further study in our future work.

Therefore, the proposed method is not affected by the complexity of the system and is not sensitive to noises.
The traditional method uses Takens Theorem [3] to reconstruct phase space, from which chaotic properties of the system can be acquired for computing the Largest Lyapunov exponent from small data sets [4].
In this paper, we use an adaptive controller to suppress periodic oscillations and chaotic oscillations, and alter the control strength by adjusting the control strength factor.
This improved Dc(n) exhibited better convergence properties.
Tr=Lr/Rr, ωe=ωr*-ωr means the rotor flux time constant and the difference between the reference and the real mechanical rotor speed.

Introduction γ-titanium aluminides (TiAl alloys) are considered as top candidate materials for high-temperature applications due to their attractive properties such as low density, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, hig temperature strength retention and resistance against ‘titanium fire’[1-4].

Introduction Surface modification by coatings has become an essential step to improve the surface properties such as wear, corrosion and oxidation.
This would allow an optimization of the processing parameters and coating composition in order to achieve properties desired for various applications.
Artificial neural networks In the present work the ANN model was established for predicting micro-hardness properties of coatings that was based on feed-forward multilayer perceptron.
This process consists of adjusting the values of the connections (weight factors) between neurons.

There are many factors due to these deteriorations, such as ageing, corrosion of steel, a change of use or the environmental effects such as earthquakes, especially the disastrous Sichuan earthquake on 12 May 2008 [2], in which so many structures were damaged or deteriorated need to be reinforced.
