Integrated multiphysics modeling, testing and optimization of friction stir welding of aluminum alloys
Creators: name: Nourani, Mohamadreza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The main objective of this work is the development of a novel integrated multiphysics modeling, testing, and optimization of friction stir welding (FSW) for aluminum alloys, and thereby facilitating a better understating of processing-microstructure-properties relationships in this relatively new welding technique. To this end, in this paper-based dissertation, first we review various models and optimization methods used in the field of FSW. Next, based on the current state-of-the-art and a validated 3D thermal model for aluminum 6061 along with a Taguchi design of experiments approach, we make a proposition that hot welds (with maximum temperature during FSW) have the lowest mechanical properties as opposed to cold welds. Using further experimental studies we also propose that another determining parameter in the resulting mechanical properties of FSW welds is the material flow around the tool which in very cold weld conditions may cause low mechanical properties due to low mechanical bonding. Next, we develop and validate a novel two-dimensional Eulerian steady-state “integrated multiphysics” model of FSW of aluminum 6061 which did not exist earlier in the literature and can simultaneously predict temperature, shear strain rate, shear stress and strain fields over the entire workpiece. The model can additionally predict microstructural changes during and after FSW as well as residual stresses. In order to investigate the effect of different material constitutive equations on this integrated multiphysics model, we implement and compare most commonly used CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and CSM (Computational Solid Mechanics) constitutive equations and show their similarities and differences. Using the same integrated multiphysics model, for the first time we also present a new semi-experimental approach to measure strain during FSW using visioplasticity. Finally, we perform a comprehensive experimental study (tensile testing, Electron Back Scatter Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and micro-hardness testing) on FSW of aluminum 6061 samples in order to further validate the developed numerical model and optimize the welding process parameters (tool rotation speed, weld speed and axial force). The experimental study also prove the above mentioned preposition on a correlation among the processing-microstructure-mechanical properties during FSW, especially when comparing the UTS of samples from cold and hot weld conditions.

description: We construct a theoretical model to predict the number of orphan afterglows (OA) from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) triggered by primordial metal-free (Pop III) stars expected to be observed by the Gaia mission. In particular, we consider primordial metal-free stars that were affected by radiation from other stars (Pop III.2) as a possible target. We use a semi-analytical approach that includes all relevant feedback effects to construct cosmic star formation history and its connection with the cumulative number of GRBs. The OA events are generated using the Monte Carlo method, and realistic simulations of Gaia's scanning law are performed to derive the observation probability expectation. We show that Gaia can observe up to 2.28 $\pm$ 0.88 off-axis afterglows and 2.78 $\pm$ 1.41 on-axis during the five-year nominal mission. This implies that a nonnegligible percentage of afterglows that may be observed by Gaia ($\sim 10%$) could have Pop III stars as progenitors.

description: The chiral Gross-Neveu model or equivalently the linearized Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation has been mapped to the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) hierarchy in the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur formalism by Correa, Dunne and Plyushchay. We derive the general expression for exact fermionic solutions for all gap functions in the arbitrary order of the NLS hierarchy. We also find that the energy spectrum of the n-th NLS hierarchy generally has n+1 gaps. As an illustration, we present the self-consistent two-complex-kink solution with four real parameters and two fermion bound states. The two kinks can be placed at any position and have phase shifts. When the two kinks are well separated, the fermion bound states are localized around each kink in most parameter region. When two kinks with phase shifts close to each other are placed at distance as short as possible, the both fermion bound states have two peaks at the two kinks, i.e., the delocalization of the bound states occurs.

description: We propose a theoretical framework for analyzing two-body nonleptonic $D$ meson decays, based on the factorization of short-distance (long-distance) dynamics into Wilson coefficients (hadronic matrix elements of four-fermion operators). The parametrization of hadronic matrix elements in terms of several nonperturbative quantities is demonstrated for the $D\to PP$ decays, $P$ denoting a pseudoscalar meson. We consider the evolution of Wilson coefficients with energy release in individual decay modes, and the Glauber strong phase associated with the pion in nonfactorizable annihilation amplitudes, that is attributed to the unique role of the pion as a Nambu-Goldstone boson and a quark-anti-quark bound state simultaneously. The above inputs improve the global fit to the branching ratios involving the $η'$ meson, and resolves the long-standing puzzle from the $D^0\toπ^+π^-$ and $D^0\to K^+K^-$ branching ratios, respectively. Combining short-distance dynamics associated with penguin operators and the hadronic parameters determined from the global fit to branching ratios, we predict direct CP asymmetries, to which the quark loops and the scalar penguin annihilation give dominant contributions. In particular, we predict $ΔA_{\rm CP}\equiv A_{\rm CP}(K^+K^-)-A_{\rm CP}(π^+π^-)=-1.00\times 10^{-3}$, lower than the LHCb and CDF data.

description: We extend Bar-Natan's cobordism based categorification of the Jones polynomial to virtual links. Our topological complex allows a direct extension of the classical Khovanov complex ($h=t=0$), the variant of Lee ($h=0,t=1$) and other classical link homologies. We show that our construction allows, over rings of characteristic two, extensions with no classical analogon, e.g. Bar-Natan's $\mathbb{Z}/2$-link homology can be extended in two non-equivalent ways. Our construction is computable in the sense that one can write a computer program to perform calculations, e.g. we have written a Mathematica based program. Moreover, we give a classification of all unoriented TQFTs which can be used to define virtual link homologies from our topological construction. Furthermore, we prove that our extension is combinatorial and has semi-local properties. We use the semi-local properties to prove an application, i.e. we give a discussion of Lee's degeneration of virtual homology.

description: The surprising discovery by MAGIC of an intense, rapidly varying emission in the energy range 70 - 400 GeV from the flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1222+216 represents a challenge for all interpretative scenarios. Indeed, in order to avoid absorption of γrays in the dense ultraviolet radiation field of the broad line region (BLR), one is forced to invoke some unconventional astrophysical picture, like for instance the existence of a very compact (r\sim 10^{14} cm) emitting blob at a large distance (R \sim10^{18} cm) from the jet base. We offer the investigation of a scenario based on the standard blazar model for PKS 1222+216 where γrays are produced close to the central engine, but we add the new assumption that inside the source photons can oscillate into axion-like particles (ALPs), which are a generic prediction of several extensions of the Standard Model of elementary particle interactions. As a result, a considerable fraction of very-high-energy photons can escape absorption from the BLR through the mechanism of photon-ALP oscillations much in the same way as they largely avoid absorption from extragalactic background light when propagating over cosmic distances in the presence of large-scale magnetic fields in the nG range. In addition we show that the above MAGIC observations and the simultaneous Fermi/LAT observations in the energy range 0.3 - 3 GeV can both be explained by a standard spectral energy distribution for experimentally allowed values of the model parameters. In particular, we need a very light ALP just like in the case of photon-ALP oscillations in cosmic space. Moreover, we find it quite tantalizing that the most favorable value of the photon-ALP coupling happens to be the same in both situations. Although our ALPs cannot contribute to the cold dark matter, they are a viable candidate for the quintessential dark energy. [abridged]

description: The baryonic Tully-Fisher relation is an important observational constraint on cosmological and galactic models. However, it is critical to keep in mind that in observations only stars, molecular, and atomic gas are counted, while the contribution of the ionized gas is almost universally missed. The ionized gas is, however, expected to be present in the gaseous disks of dwarf galaxies simply because they are exposed to the cosmic ionizing background and to the stellar radiation that manages to escape from the central regions of the galactic disks into their outer layers. Such an expectation is, indeed, born out both by cosmological numerical simulations and by simple analytical models.

The Hidden Magnetic Field of The Young Neutron Star in Kesteven 79

description: Recent observations of the central compact object in the Kesteven 79 supernova remnant show that this neutron star (NS) has a weak dipole magnetic field (a few x 10^{10} G) but an anomalously large (~ 64%) pulse fraction in its surface X-ray emission. We explore the idea that a substantial sub-surface magnetic field exists in the NS crust, which produces diffuse hot spots on the stellar surface due to anisotropic heat conduction, and gives rise to the observed X-ray pulsation. We develop a general-purpose method, termed "Temperature Template with Full Transport" (TTFT), that computes the synthetic pulse profile of surface X-ray emission from NSs with arbitrary magnetic field and surface temperature distributions, taking into account magnetic atmosphere opacities, beam pattern, vacuum polarization, and gravitational light bending. We show that a crustal toroidal magnetic field of order a few x 10^{14} G or higher, varying smoothly across the crust, can produce sufficiently distinct surface hot spots to generate the observed pulse fraction in the Kes 79 NS. This result suggests that substantial sub-surface magnetic fields, much stronger than the "visible" dipole fields, may be buried in the crusts of some young NSs, and such hidden magnetic fields can play an important role in their observational manifestations. The general TTFT tool we have developed can also be used for studying radiation from other magnetic NSs.

description: It is shown that extensions to General Relativity, which introduce a strongly coupled scalar field, can be viable if the interaction has a non-conformal form. Such disformal coupling depends upon the gradients of the scalar field. Thus, if the field is locally static and smooth, the coupling becomes invisible in the solar system: this is the disformal screening mechanism. A cosmological model is considered where the disformal coupling triggers the onset of accelerated expansion after a scaling matter era, giving a good fit to a wide range of observational data. Moreover, the interaction leaves signatures in the formation of large-scale structure that can be used to probe such couplings.

description: way’, iskwíst (my name is) Sʔímlaʔxw. According to Syilx ways, personal introductions come before any other words. I am Syilx, and related to the Simlas and Richters from Vernon and Ashnola BC. I am an N’syilxcn (n’qilxwcn, Okanagan-Colville, Interior Salish) language learner and teacher. I live in Penticton BC, Canada. Five years ago I arrived in Syilx community to find a critically endangered language and accepted a personal role and responsibility to learn N’syilxcn and teach it to others, as my PhD research. I found allies in beginner intensives: our names are Prasát, C’ər̓tups, X̌wnámx̌wnam and Staʔqwálqs. We committed as a cohort to live in an immersion house in Chopaka BC for five months. We were supported by our Elder, Sʕamtíc’aʔ (Sarah Peterson), and a language activist from Paul Creek Language Association, Chris Parkin. During one long winter, in 420 intensive hours of study, we transformed from k’lp’xwínaʔ (beginning to hear, approximately beginner) to n’łəqwcin (clear voiced, approximately low-intermediate). I created three films in N’syilxcn, and placed them on YouTube to give primacy to our personal narratives, document our transformation, assess our learning and methods, and share our experience and motivation with language learners. My cohort followed second-language acquisition techniques and curriculum which I believe are replicable in other Indigenous languages. In the following pages I introduce N’syilxcn, my cohort, our language house, Paul Creek curriculum, our three films, our language assessment, and dreams and strategies to become n’tłłcin speakers (straightened speech, advanced). I share pedagogical concepts and methods that support adult Indigenous language acquisition, such as N’syilxcn phases of learning, teaching strategies, language assessment, domains of use, immersion, and the transformative power of hard work. I humbly share our experience and my recommendations for Indigenous language learners. One-thousand hours of intensive instruction, following second-language acquisition techniques and honouring our Indigenous contexts, will bring adults to mid-intermediate speech levels. As intermediate speakers, our role and responsibility will become clear: to create immersion workspheres, write advanced materials, teach, and raise children in the language.

In this paper, we look at the fixed point set of different one-dimensional subtori in this torus. We prove that in the homogeneous case the generating series of the numbers of the irreducible components has a beautiful decomposition into an infinite product. In the case of odd $r$ these infinite products coincide with certain Virasoro characters. We also propose a conjecture in a general quasihomogeneous case.

description: Stroke is often regarded as a disease of the elderly. However, 10–15% of strokes occur in people aged 18 to 50, and rates continue to rise. Young stroke survivors face unique challenges due to their occupational, family and personal commitments, which current stroke rehabilitation services may not fully address. Our qualitative study aimed to identify gaps in patient care and resources for young stroke survivors. We used these findings to develop recommendations to inform clinical care, healthcare system design, and health policy. Using Interpretive Description, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 19 stroke survivors aged 18–55 living in British Columbia, Canada, to explore their experiences during stroke recovery and assess current gaps in support and resources. We applied broad-based coding and thematic analysis to the transcripts. Key themes included: (1) the need for longitudinal medical follow-up and information provision, (2) the need for psychological/psychiatric care, (3) the need to adapt community supports and resources to young survivors, and (4) the need to centralize and integrate community stroke services and resources. Young stroke survivors experience unique challenges and lack appropriate services and resources. Many of our findings may be representative of remediable gaps that persist nationally and internationally. Young Adult Stroke Survivors face unique challenges due to their occupational, family, and personal commitments, resulting in unmet needs during stroke recovery and rehabilitation.Policymakers, healthcare providers and community organizations need to re-think follow-up and information provision, psychological/psychiatric care, and community support and resources for young adult stroke survivors.Centralization and integration of different community stroke services and resources specific to young stroke survivors are key in stroke rehabilitation and recovery pathways.

Construction waste management at source : a Building Information Modeling based system dynamic approach
Creators: name: Porwal, Atul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Construction waste is considered a major contributor of solid wastes in municipal landfills. As per the Canadian construction industry, construction, renovation, and demolition (CRD) wastes constitute 27% of total municipal wastes disposed to landfills. Many researchers have stated that 75% of wastes generated by construction industries have residual value. They can be even recycled, salvaged, and/or reused. In such circumstances, construction wastes have to go for recycling, which is as costly and environmentally harmful as going for new material. Sustainable and practical solutions then have to: (i) minimize the construction waste at source during the project construction phase, and (ii) optimize the material usage of the ‘proposed construction’ in the design phase itself. To achieve both of these objectives, virtual construction techniques, which can forecast potential waste of a given project with cost and schedule variations, are required. However, there are only a few studies carried out to analyse the complex relationships among the design, rework, material management, and construction functions in waste management. The waste should be avoided at source by considering the entire life cycle performance of the project. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a relatively new and much unexplored area in construction waste management. BIM has immense potential with today’s computing power and technology. The aim of this thesis is to enhance use of BIM to minimize construction waste at source by micro-mapping objects and spaces with a novel use of dynamic simulation techniques and earned value management methods. System Dynamic Modeling (SDM) is an effective tool to analyse the pattern of changes in variables of a system over time. The use of the SDM enables projects to be managed more effectively with respect to waste management policy assessment. This thesis proposes a method of dealing with the complexity, interrelationships, and dynamics of Design-Bid-Build projects. Firstly, a BIM-Partnering approach for public construction procurement is presented with the aim to reduce construction waste right at source, early in the design stage. Then, a reinforcement cutting waste optimization technique integrated with BIM is presented. Finally, a dynamic model integrated with BIM; to minimize construction waste at source is presented.

description: We propose a new toy model of a heteropolymer chain capable of forming planar secondary structures typical for RNA molecules. In this model the sequential intervals between neighboring monomers along a chain are considered as quenched random variables. Using the optimization procedure for a special class of concave--type potentials, borrowed from optimal transport analysis, we derive the local difference equation for the ground state free energy of the chain with the planar (RNA--like) architecture of paired links. We consider various distribution functions of intervals between neighboring monomers (truncated Gaussian and scale--free) and demonstrate the existence of a topological crossover from sequential to essentially embedded (nested) configurations of paired links.

description: Near a critical point, the equilibrium relaxation time of a system diverges and any change of control/thermodynamic parameters leads to non-equilibrium behavior. The Kibble-Zurek problem is to determine the dynamical evolution of the system parametrically close to its critical point when the change is parametrically slow. The non-equilibrium behavior in this limit is controlled entirely by the critical point and the details of the trajectory of the system in parameter space (the protocol) close to the critical point. Together, they define a universality class consisting of critical exponents-discussed in the seminal work by Kibble and Zurek-and scaling functions for physical quantities, which have not been discussed hitherto. In this article, we give an extended and pedagogical discussion of the universal content in the Kibble-Zurek problem. We formally define a scaling limit for physical quantities near classical and quantum transitions for different sets of protocols. We report computations of a few scaling functions in model Gaussian and large-N problems and prove their universality with respect to protocol choice. We also introduce a new protocol in which the critical point is approached asymptotically at late times with the system marginally out of equilibrium, wherein logarithmic violations to scaling and anomalous dimensions occur even in the simple Gaussian problem.

description: Chiral Color is extended by incorporating Technicolor, which induces dynamical breaking of the Electroweak symmetry as well as Chiral Color to Quantum Chromodynamics. Gauge anomalies are cancelled by introducing two generations of technifermions, and the fourth generation of quarks and leptons is required. Each technifermion generation is coupled to only two Standard Model generations by the Yukawa interaction. Various phenomenological implications are explained.

 T a x o n o m i e: DiePopulationen des Alpenbogens in den oberen Vegetationsstufen sind habituell von den partiell bivoltinen Nominatpopulationen markant verschieden. Möglicherweise hat glaciegenita zumindest die letzte Kaltzeit in den Alpen überdauert.
 Unter dem Taxon debilis OBERTHÜR, 1909 (loc. typ. Ostpyrenaeen) werden die Populationen der Pyrenaeen zusammengefasst; debilis ist nach KUDRNA (2019) allerdings ein nomen nudum.
Die Exemplare aus der subalpinen Vegetationsstufe der Berge in den Provinzen Belluno und Udine zeigen einen deutlich differenzierten Habitus und repräsentieren möglicherweise ein eigenes infraspezifisches Taxon.

description: We investigate the particle-hole pair excitations of dipolar molecules in optical lattice, which can be described with an extended Bose-Hubbard model. For strong enough dipole-dipole interaction, the particle-hole pair excitations can form bound states in one and two dimensions. With decreasing dipole-dipole interaction, the energies of the bound states increase and merge into the particle-hole continuous spectrum gradually. The existence regions, the energy spectra and the wave functions of the bound states are carefully studied and the symmetries of the bound states are analyzed with group theory. For a given dipole-dipole interaction, the number of bound states varies in momentum space and a number distribution of the bound states is illustrated. We also discuss how to observe these bound states in future experiments.

description: We describe an equilibrium state of a rotating trapped atomic condensate, which is characterized by a non-zero internal circulation and spontaneous breaking of the rotational O(2) symmetry with all three major semiaxes of the condensate having different values. The macroscopic rotation of the condensate is supported by a mesh of quantized vortices, whose number density is a function of internal circulation. The oscillation modes of this state are computed and the Goldstone mode associated with the loss of the symmetry is identified. The possible avenues for experimental identification this state are discussed.

Light-induced spiral mass transport in azo-polymer films under vortex-beam illumination

description: When an azobenzene-containing polymer film is exposed to a non-uniform illumination, a light-induced mass migration process may be induced, leading to the formation of relief patterns on the polymer free surface. Despite a research effort of many years and several proposed models many aspects of this phenomenon remain not well understood. Here we report the appearance of spiral-shaped relief patterns on the polymer under the illumination of focused Laguerre-Gauss beams, having helical wavefront and an optical vortex at their axis. The induced spiral reliefs are sensitive to the vortex topological charge and to the wavefront handedness. These findings are unexpected, because the "doughnut"-shaped intensity profile of Laguerre- Gauss beams contains no information about the wavefront handedness. We propose a model that explains the main features of this phenomenon from the surface-mediated interference of the longitudinal and the transverse components of the optical field. These results may find applications in optical micro- and nanolithography and optical-field.

description: Aim: To investigate whether medical devices coated with a synthesized nanocomposite of poly(methylmethacrylate-co-dimethyl acrylamide) (PMMDMA) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) could improve their antibiofilm and antimicrobial activities. We also investigated the nanocomposite’s safety. Materials & methods: The nanocomposite was synthesized and characterized using analytical techniques. Medical devices coated with the nanocomposite were evaluated for bacterial adhesion and hemolytic activity in vitro. Results: The nanocomposite formation was demonstrated with the incorporation of AgNPs into the polymer matrix. The nanocomposite proved to be nonhemolytic and significantly inhibited bacterial biofilm formation. Conclusion: The PMMDMA-AgNPs nanocomposite was more effective in preventing biofilm formation than PMMDMA alone and is a promising strategy for coating medical devices and reducing mortality due to hospital-acquired infections. Synthesis of a poly(methylmethacrylate-co-dimethylacrylamide)–silver nanoparticles (PMMDMA-AgNPs) nanocomposite was performed using Irgacure 2959 as photoinitiator and photoreducer in a single step. Characterization of PMMDMA-AgNPs nanocomposite was carried out by Fourier transform infrared, laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry, atomic force microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. Urinary catheter molds were coated with the PMMDMA-AgNPs nanocomposite. Bacterial binding to uncoated urinary catheter molds and catheter molds coated with the PMMDMA-AgNPs nanocomposite was evaluated. The toxicity of the PMMDMA-AgNPs was evaluated through the hemolysis assay. Inhibition of bacterial binding to catheter molds coated with PMMDMA-AgNPs was demonstrated after 48 h of incubation with a bacteria mix. PMMDMA-AgNPs were not cytotoxic to human erythrocytes in culture. PMMDMA-AgNPs showed promise for coating medical devices as a strategy to combat hospital-acquired infections.
