A SIMPLIFIED PLASTIC ZONE METHOD FORSECON DORDER ELASTICPLASTIC ANALYSISOF STEEL FRAMES

This paper presents a simplified plastic zone method with consideration of the in-fluences of the PDelta. residual stress ,degradation of crosssectional stiffness and plastic zone lengthon the stiffness matrix for second-order elastic-plastic analysis of steel frames. The method not onlymakes up for a insufficiency which is that the degradation of crosssectional stiffness and plasticzone length in a member ean not be considered by a plastic hinge method but also overcomes a defectwhich is very costly and time-consuming because a fine mesh discretization across the crosssectionand along the member length is required by a plastic zone methed. Analysis result Shows proposedsimplified rnethod is simple and practical.

FAST ADAPTIVE FILTERING ( FAF ) FOR THE PROCESS DETECTION CONTROL SYSTEMS

The limitation of LMS adaptive noise cancelling (ANC ) is analyzed here. Based on the discussing of general signal and noise model of process detection control system, a fast adaptive filtering(FAF) is proposed on the basis of modelling the correlativity between the noise and it's correlative noise with the view of large noise. Fast transversal filtering ( FTF ) adaptive, algorithms is used to imitate the correlative modelling. Both simulation and experiments show that the method presented in this paper is suitable for the process detection control system , and it exhibts better results than the LMS noise cancelling method.

THE STUDY FOR LARGE INCLUSIONS OF STAINLESS STEEL (1Crl8Ni9Ti) DURING CONTINUOUS CASTING

This paper presents the process of stainless steel ( 1Crl8Ni9Ti) in continuous casting,the components and their shapes,origins and distributions of the large inclusions existing in the steel,as well as the influence on its quality. By the observation through a microscope,the structural analysis adopting x-ray examinating instrument and the measunement for the microzone of billet employing the electronic probe.it has been found that the large inclusions of continuous billet mainly originate from the slag-sweeping of the tundisy and mold. There are mostly spherical-slag in addition to Ti(C.N) in the inclusions. The calculations in theory point out that the siO2in the slag can' t change Ti(C,N) into TiO2,however,it can assimilate with Ti(C.N). The large inclusions affect the quality of the steel plate and tube greatly. As a result,this paper proposes the measures of reducing the large inclusions in the steel.
