Ocean currents may cause vortex induced vibrations (VIV) of deep-water umbilicals and cables. Since the VIV response may give significant contributions to the total fatigue damage it is important to know the structural damping for relevant curvature levels. A laboratory test has been performed on a 12.5 m long test specimen to determine the damping for a range of curvature levels that are in the vicinity of the stick-slip transition region. The energy input to maintain steady state oscillations with curvature amplitudes in the range 0.0002–0.001 m−1 was measured. The steady state energy input is consistent with damping ratios obtained using the free decay method. The structural damping depends on construction temperature and curvature and is less for typically low seawater temperature and low curvatures. The transition between the stick- and the slip regime is seen for typical seawater temperature.

This work presents a new approach for resolving the unique invariant slip direction at Stick-Slip Transition during impact. The solution method presented in this work is applicable to both single-point and multi-point impact problems. The proposed method utilizes rigid body constraints to resolve the impact forces at all collision points in terms of a single independent impact forces parameter. This work also uses an energetic coefficient of restitution to terminate impact events, thereby yielding energetically consistent post-impact behavior.

Abstract Four kinds of solvent were chosen to prepare poly(ether sulfones) (PES) filtration membranes by the nonsolvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. Ternary phase diagram and shear viscosity measurement were conducted to analyse the formation of prepared membrane from thermodynamic and kinetic perspectives. The micro-structure of the membranes with different solvents were analysed, and the result showed a high relevance to the thermodynamics and dynamics of the casting solutions, and promoted the proposal of a reasonable membrane formation mechanism.

Decreased viscosity due to the influence of blowing agent in thermoplastic polymer melts is a key issue for understanding the process of foam extrusion. In a process for direct foam extrusion, a novel approach for inline viscosity measurement of single-phase systems in single screw extruders is used to experimentally evaluate a viscosity decrease. Two blowing agents (propane and carbon dioxide) are tested for their effect on the viscosity of a polypropylene melt. While mass fractions of blowing agent below [Formula: see text] show little to no effect in regard to viscosity reduction compared to a pure polymer melt, a mass fraction of [Formula: see text] already results in significantly decreased viscosity values. While melt temperature influences the viscosity of the polymer melt, measurements show no significant additional effect in regard to a lowered viscosity of a single-phase system of polymer and fully dissolved blowing agent.
