G-band bright points (GBPs) are regarded as good manifestations of magnetic flux concentrations. We aim to investigate the relationship between the dynamic properties of GBPs and their longitudinal magnetic field strengths. High spatial and temporal resolution observations were recorded simultaneously with G-band filtergrams and Narrow-band Filter Imager (NFI) Stokes I and V images with Hinode /Solar Optical Telescope. The GBPs are identified and tracked in the G-band images automatically, and the corresponding longitudinal magnetic field strength of each GBP is extracted from the calibrated NFI magnetograms by a point-to-point method. After categorizing the GBPs into five groups by their longitudinal magnetic field strengths, we analyze the dynamics of GBPs of each group. The results suggest that with increasing longitudinal magnetic field strengths of GBPs correspond to a decrease in their horizontal velocities and motion ranges as well as by showing more complicated motion paths. This suggests that magnetic elements showing weaker magnetic field strengths prefer to move faster and farther along straighter paths, while stronger ones move more slowly in more erratic paths within a smaller region. The dynamic behaviors of GBPs with different longitudinal magnetic field strengths can be explained by that the stronger flux concentrations withstand the convective flows much better than weaker ones.

In the traditional presplitting blasting, the presplit holes are generally uniformly initiated, which causes local damage to the retained rock mass while forming the damping ditch. In order to determine the optimal delay time of the precise delay initiation hole by hole, the finite element software ANSYS/LS-DYNA is used to build a blasting model of the concrete, which includes concrete, explosive, and air to simulate the crack forming process of the presplitting hole under various initiation modes. Four kinds of initiation modes for blasting, namely, simultaneous initiation with 0 ms, 9 ms, 12 ms, and 15 ms of delay between adjacent holes, are set up to determine the exact delay time of the best presplitting effect. The simulation results show that when the prehole detonates simultaneously, the inner hole crack penetrates the fastest, but the peak stress around the hole is up to 147.9 MPa. When interhole delayed initiation is used, although the time of interhole crack penetration is prolonged, the stress coupling is generated around the precrack and the maximum stress is obviously reduced. The maximum stress generated under the three delayed initiation conditions is only 76.8 MPa. Considering the requirement of damage control of surrounding rock mass and the rapid formation of precrack, 9 ms delay time is determined as the precise delay time of this test.

In textbooks of mechanical engineering, rack has been mistakenly regarded as rack cutter so that minimum teeth without undercutting have been deduced, which has made people misunderstand undercut phenomenon more than 65 years. Theoretical research and computer simulation about undercut phenomenon are presented in this paper. Firstly, the theoretical analysis and calculation on minimum teeth without undercutting have been carried out, the rack cutter is used to infer minimum teeth without undercutting of standard involute gears, and correct minimum teeth without undercutting are get; And then computer simulation is applied to verify validity results of theoretical calculations, which not only corrects the long-standing mistakes about the traditional undercut phenomenon, but also provides the correct theoretical guidance for gears’ manufacturing.
