Specifically, the effects of content and size of undissolved carbides on the microstructure and transformation kinetics of nano-bainite were analyzed. The results demonstrated that after prolonged austempering at low temperatures, the mixed microstructure composed of nano-bainite (NB), undissolved carbides (UC), and retained austenite (RA) was obtained in GCr15SiMo steel. When the experimental steel was austenitized at 900 ℃, the undissolved carbides gradually dissolved until reaching a stable state with increasing holding time. Furthermore, at the same austempering temperature, despite different volume fractions of undissolved carbides in the substrate, the volume fractions of nano-bainite in the final microstructures remained essentially the same. Moreover, the higher the content of undissolved carbides in steel, the faster the transformation rate of nano-bainite and the shorter the total transformation time.展开更多

An age-structured host-vector interac- tion model incorporating vaccination effects is formulated and analyzed for the spread of dengue. Moreover, the basic reproduction number is derived, which serves as a thresh- old value determining the stability of the equilibrium points. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functional, the global asymptotic stability of the equilibria of the model is established in terms of the basic reproduction number. In particular, the disease-free equilibrium of the model is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction num- ber is less than one, while the disease persists and the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is greater than one. The analysis of our model indicates that our model is realistic to give a hint to control the transmission of dengue. Furthermore, it follows from the formulation of the infection-free equilibrium of susceptible humans So and the basic reproduction number R0 that both of them are decreasing with respect to the vaccination parameter ~bh, which indicates that appropriate vaccinating program may contribute to prevent the transmission of Dengue disease.展开更多
