Effect of normal load on the wear and rolling contact fatigue behaviour of AAR class B wheel against R350HT rail in a twin disc simulator

The normal load at the wheel-rail contact interface plays a significant role in wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) performance of both wheel and rail steels.In recent years, there has been an increase in axle loads due to increased demand for railway services.This study investigated the effect of normal load on the wear and RCF behaviour of the

Effect of bottom stirring on bath mixing and transfer behavior during scrap melting in BOF steelmaking: A review

Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking is a widely used method for steelmaking production, and the bath stirring has a significant influence Knife Sharpener on dynamics of bath flow and mixing.Therefore, the effect of bottom gas flowrate, nozzle number and configuration, and bottom gas distribution mode on bath stirring are summarized in this study

Procedure via cross-Kerr nonlinearities for encoding single logical qubit information onto four-photon decoherence-free states

Abstract We propose a photonic procedure using cross-Kerr nonlinearities (XKNLs) to encode single logical qubit information onto four-photon decoherence-free states.In quantum information processing, a decoherence-free subspace can secure quantum information against collective decoherence.Therefore, we design a procedure employing nonlinear optical
