In the incubation period of ultrasonic cavitation, due to the impact of microjets on the material surface, the needle-like microjet-pits are formed. Because the formation of microjet-pits relates with the evolution of cavitation erosion on engineering materials, corresponding study will promote the understanding on th…

Abstract. We study the cohomology and hence K-theory of the ape-riodic tilings formed by the so called ‘cut and project ’ method, i.e., patterns in d dimensional Euclidean space which arise as sections of higher dimensional, periodic structures. They form one of the key fam-ilies of patterns used in quasicrystal physi…

In wet conditions, corona discharges may occur on composite insulator surfaces of well-designed power transmission equipment. Corona exposure gradually reduces the surface hydrophobicity and degrades the polymer surface. Recently, much attention has been paid on improvement of corona surface resistance by dispersing n…
