房门突然打开对腔室火灾影响的数值模拟

影响腔室火灾发展的因素很多。采用大涡模拟的方法对带门缝的腔室火灾特性进行数值计算研究。计算分析腔室内门缝火发生过程中的热释放速率、压强和温度等物理参数的变化，并进一步模拟分析房门突然打开对腔室火灾发展产生的影响。结果表明，由于门缝的存在使腔室火灾燃烧状况发生一定的变化，影响到火灾的发展；房门的突然开启致使大量的可燃烟气发生强烈的回燃，给消防人员入室灭火带来极大威胁。     

具有镀铬层的铁磁材料和零件的裂纹检测

阐述了具有镀铬层铁磁性零件的裂纹漏磁检测机理,探讨了基于循环搜索逼近的裂纹定量检测的基本方法。实测结果证明漏磁法检测具有镀铬层工件的缺陷是可靠的。     

表面类裂纹缺陷与地磁场相对空间位置对漏磁场检测的影响

采用低频电磁场的有限元单元分析方法，分析铁磁性金属零件表面类裂纹缺陷与地磁场的空间相对位置变化对缺陷处漏磁场的影响，并通过试验进行了验证。结果表明：相对空间位置对漏磁场强度值影响较大，但对漏磁场强度曲线的变化特征影响不大。当缺陷与地磁场磁力线相互垂直时，漏磁场强度值最大；当缺陷与地磁场磁力线平行时，漏磁场强度值最小。这表明当采用漏磁场检测方法进行无损探伤时，零件的空间方向可能会影响探伤结果。     

More military base closure? Considering the alternatives*

Despite multiple base closing rounds, the United States Department of Defense still has excess base capacity, and thus President Trump and high-level Defense Department officials are calling for more base closure through the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process. However, another BRAC may not be the optimal solution, because simple base closure is not an efficient way to reduce surplus base capacity. Thus, Defense Department officials should consider other methods to reduce surplus capacity, including reduction in base size, leasing excess base property, or transferring it to another government agency for a variety of alternative uses. The surplus capacity issue also offers an opportunity to DOD to reassess base utilization, to update base requirements with current and future force structure. While BRAC focuses on American military bases, the process and alternatives also have international applications.
