scholarly journals Columns with Different Cross Section using ANSYS Work Bench

In this paper we are going to analyze the strength of material and deflection due to applying load on the column. The column of different materials will be cross sectioned and will present the difference of strength of materials by ANSYS workbench. The strength of material will depend upon the young’s modulus and moment of inertia of the metal plate. We use different size of metal plates such as I-section, circular bar, rectangular bar and square bar for a specific material to know the strength of material when a load applied on the cross sections. In this paper we taken a condition that one side of column is fixed and another side is free when load is applying on the column.

Measurements have been made of the energy loss of cosmic ray particles in metal plates, making use of a counter controlled cloud chamber in a magnetic field (Blackett 1936). A metal plate was placed across the centre of the chamber and the energy loss of a ray was deduced from the difference of the curvature of a track above and below the plate. Energy loss measurements by this method have been carried out by Anderson and Neddermeyer (1936) up to an energy of about 4 x 10 8 e-volts and recently by Crussard and Leprince-Ringuet (1937) up to an energy of 1·2 x 10 9 e-volts. The curvature measurements were made mainly by means of the optical null method recently described (Blackett 1937 a ) and this proved invaluable. It would have been hard to obtain so high an accuracy by the usual method of measuring coordinates. The curvature corrections to be applied to the measured curvatures were obtained by measurements on tracks in zero magnetic field (Blackett and Brode 1936). Two separate distortion curves were required, one for the top and one for the bottom of the chamber.

1. It is not necessary to enter into the question of the advisability of employing continuous girders in bridges with spans of less than 200 feet, but it is generally conceded that the increased economy due to the employment of continuous girders in longer spans more than counterbalances the well-known practical objections to continuity. Hence the practical solution of the general problem—given the conditions at the ends of a continuous girder, the spans, the moment of inertia of all cross sections, and the loading, to find the bending moment and shearing stress in every cross-section, is not unworthy of our attention.

In order to perform integral evaluation of 232Th capture cross section, a series of critical experiments for thorium-loaded and solid-moderated cores in KUCA had been carried out. In these experimental cores, H/235U nuclide ratio ranged about from 150 to 315, and 232Th/235U nuclide ratio ranged about from 13 to 19. In this study, a new critical experiment with Th loaded core in KUCA, which had about 70 of the H/235U ratio and 12.7 of 232Th/235U ratio, was carried out. As results, the excess reactivity was 0.086 ± 0.003 (% dk/k) and the keff was 1.0009 ± 0.0003, where the effective delayed neutron fraction was 7.656E-3. The keff was also calculated by MVP3.0 with different nuclear libraries. The respective calculations with JENDL-4.0, JENDL-3.3 and ENDF/B-VII.0 lead to 1.0056 ± 0.0086 (%), 1.0048 ± 0.0085 (%) and 1.0056 ± 0.0086 (%).On the other hand, the further MVP3.0 calculations, where only the 232Th cross sections were taken from JENDL-4.0, JENDL-3.3 or ENDF/B-VII.0 but all other nuclides were done from JENDL-4.0, were carried out to examine an impact of the difference of 232Th cross section among these nuclear libraries to the keff. The keff calculated with respective 232Th cross sections from JENDL-3.3 and ENDF/B-VII.0 was 1.0038 ± 0.0086 (%) and 1.0040 ± 0.0086 (%).

Abstract Satellite weather radars that operate at attenuating wavelengths require an estimate of path attenuation to reconstruct the range profile of rainfall. One such method is the surface reference technique (SRT), by which attenuation is estimated as the difference between the surface cross section outside the rain and the apparent surface cross section measured in rain. This and the Hitschfeld–Bordan method are used operationally to estimate rain rate using data from the precipitation radar (PR) aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. To overcome some of the problems associated with the latest operational version of the SRT, a hybrid surface reference is defined that uses information from the along-track and cross-track variations of the surface cross sections in rain-free areas. Over ocean, this approach eliminates most of the discontinuities in the path-attenuation field. Self-consistency of the estimates is tested by processing the orbits backward as well as forward. Calculations from 2 weeks of PR data show that 90% of the rain events over ocean for which the SRT is classified as reliable or marginally reliable are such that the absolute difference between the forward and backward estimates is less than 1 dB.

Strontium ( Sr ) concentration in the shells of short-necked clams collected at different locations (Shirahama, warm area and Maizuru, cold area, Japan) was analyzed by two methods, PIXE and EPMA. The Sr concentration of external surface of shell umbo, which was made during short term at early benthic phase, was analyzed by PIXE, and was ranged from 1000 to 3500 ppm for individuals. The Sr concentration of clams collected at Shirahama showed positive correlation with shell length (SL) in individuals with SL <31mm, whereas clams collected at Maizuru did not show significant correlation. This result may be caused from the difference of the spawning seasons between two areas. The Sr concentration of cross section of shell umbo, which develops thicker continuously during their life to form faint stratum structure, was analyzed by EPMA along the line across the stratum structure. Some surges and long term waving patterns of the Sr concentration were observed. These results suggest that the life histories of individual clams could be recorded in the shell umbo cross sections as variations of trace elements and analyses of trace elements could clarify the histories of individual clams.

The cross-sections for the elastic scattering of mesons by protons and electrons are calculated by analogy with Møller's theory of collisions between electrons, and the results are compared with those of Bhabha for the collisions with protons and electrons of Fermi-Dirac particles with the same mass as the meson. For collisions with electrons, the difference is inappreciable for energies of the meson less than 100 times its rest energy, but for collisions with protons the difference is important at much lower energies. The ratio of the corresponding cross-sections for scattering by a Coulomb field is found to tend to infinity as the square of the energy of the incident particle, giving a finite cross-section for the scattering of a meson of infinite energy by such a field. It is pointed out that, if an exact solution of this problem is possible for the meson case, the question of the validity of meson theory for high energies would be considerably clarified.

The effects of deformation and orientation on the nucleus–nucleus and proton–nucleus reaction cross-sections are investigated at intermediate and high energies, in the framework of the Coulomb modified Glauber model. The matter density of the projectile is treated by a deformed Fermi shape with quadrupole and hexadecapole deformations. In-medium effects are included through a local density- and an energy-dependent effective nucleon–nucleon total cross-section. Calculations are performed for the deformed projectiles [Formula: see text] colliding by [Formula: see text] and by protons. It is found that the average of reaction cross-section over all directions of the symmetry axis of the deformed projectile differs by about 2[Formula: see text] compared with that calculated for a spherical projectile with the same rms matter radius as the deformed one. The difference between the cross-sections calculated with and without medium effects is of the order 2[Formula: see text] for both deformed and spherical cases. The integrated reaction cross-sections over all orientation angles provide a consistent explanation of the experimental data. The orientation of the heavy projectile can produce a difference in the calculated cross-section about 35[Formula: see text] for nucleus–nucleus and about 45[Formula: see text] for proton–nucleus. This study is also useful for experiments of polarized beams that have created opportunities to study oriented collisions of deformed nuclei. The method is applied to extract the rms radius of [Formula: see text] and it is found to be about 3.56 and 3.45[Formula: see text]fm when using deformation with and without in-medium effects.

During the design process of monolithic ribbed slabs, engineers face a common issue how to correctly evaluate stiffness of the beams. When Bar and Plate elements are used for analysis of the slabs, the neutral axis of those members are in the same level, therefore the stiffness of (T) shape cross-section is not considered correctly in the calculations. In this case the internal forces are obtained incorrectly as well as deflections of the beams are overestimated. A simple method is discussed in this paper, which allows engineers to calculate internal forces and deformations of mentioned type slabs more accurately with FEM programs by using Bar and Plate elements. The method is based on Bar elements moment of inertia adjustment. After the comparative analysis of differences between moment of inertia of (T) and (+) shape cross-sections as well as deflection discrepancies, the adjustment coefficient expression is presented. In order to reflect the actual behaviour of ribbed slabs even more accurately the influence of shear deformations is also considered. In this case not only the member geometry but the material properties, loading scheme and even supports are taken into account in the calculations of the adjustment coefficient. Selection of the most appropriate (effective) flange width of (T) shape cross-section is also analysed in this paper. Comparative calculations were done using different effective flange widths beff calculated by EC2 (Eurocode 2), “STR” (Lithuanian Construction Technical Regulations) and ACI (American Concrete Institute) methods. In order to assess the reliability of the proposed calculation method and the calculation results all plates were also analysed using Solid elements. Application of the presented expressions of moment of inertia coefficient will allow engineers to evaluate stiffness of (Γ) and (T) shape cross section beams simply, fast and accurately enough for most of structural engineering calculations.

This study evaluates the variations in the acoustic properties of the human femur at ten evenly spaced locations along its length, as well as differences that exist within given transverse sections. Six pairs of human femora, three male and three female, were sectioned, ground, and polished, and scanned with a microprocessor-driven scanning acoustic microscope. Images with a resolution of approximately 140 μm were used to calculate the average acoustic impedances for each transverse cross section and each quadrant within a cross section. The mean acoustic impedance for all the cross sections was 7.69 ± 0.18 Mrayls. Variations were observed among the cross sections, and the central sections (4–7) had values that were statistically greater than the other more distal and proximal sections. Within the cross sections, the posterior quadrant had a lower average acoustic impedance compared to the other quadrants and this was statistically significant (Tukey’s multiple comparison test). The cross sections were further analyzed to determine several geometric parameters including the principal moments of inertia, polar moment of inertia, and the biomechanical shape index. The product of the acoustic impedance and the maximum moment of inertia provided a result that attempted to account for the acoustic property variation and the change in shape at the different section locations.
