It is a sequence of temperature-, heand and light-controlled rooms dedicated to the tender loving care of thousands of fall armyworms, southwestern corn borers, tobacco bud worms and cotton boll worms — all savage agricultural pests — as well as fire ants, houseflies and whatever else engages researchers.
Single crystalline Ni52.6Mn23.6Ga23.8 alloy has been found to undergo a sequence of temperature-induced, reversible, intermartensitic transformations (IMTs).
As a more practical example for illustrating the fact that a sequence of temperature profiles leads to migrating locations of maximum stress, a pipe is considered.
The epitaxial growth process was controlled by annealing in a sequence of temperature ramp and dwell stages in Ar background gas at a pressure slightly higher than 1 atm using a commercial furnace.
They differ in primer design and the sequence of temperature changes.
Although this method is easy to implement and errors can be estimated relatively simply, the MCMCMC approach has the advantage that the different configurations are not subjected to a sequence of decreasing temperatures, but perform a random walk in temperature space, i.e. visit all temperatures several times.
(ii) In annual temperature cycles, which simulated a natural sequence of seasonal temperatures, seeds were given a winter (5 °C) regime progressing to a summer (25/15 °C) regime (cold (C) temperatures → warm (W) temperatures) or a summer regime progressing to a winter regime (W → C) for two annual cycles equalling 80 weeks.
Two separate temperature-time experiments were conducted with different sequences of temperature, and single-point impedance tests at 300 Hz were performed to validate the correlation.
The kinetic model has been verified by comparing the experimental results with those foreseen in the simulation of the isothermal operation and with different sequences of temperature-time.
