Abstract:
The relationship between the engine oil' s infrared spectroscopic characteristics and its antioxidation property was studied, and the technical method to obtain the spectral information in accordance with the contribution of lubricating-oil composition to antioxidation property is presented. Quantitative self-organization neural networks was developed by combining the advantages of BP neural networks and those of self-organization neural networks. Quantitative self-organization neural networks possesses both the qualitative clustering function of self-organization neural networks and the quantitative analysis function of BP neural networks, and featuFes better robustness, so the quantitative analysis result of quantitative self-organization neural networks was better than that of BP neural networks. The result has provided a kind of new technology means for fast testing lubricating-oil performance.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...

Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0% (complete...
