Strength And Stiffness

Interlocking Particle Structures (IPS) are geometrically stable assemblies, usually fabricated from plate type elements that are interconnected by slotted joints. IPS are demountable and their components have the potential to be used and reused in different structures and configurations. This paper explores the applicability of birch plywood panels, which are characterized by a high surface hardness, for this type of structural system. Experimental tests were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of birch plywood plates. Moreover, IPS connections with different geometrical properties were investigated for two different load exposures: bending and rotation. The characteristics under bending exposure are influenced by the orientation of the face-veneers. For the rotational load exposure, very small strength and stiffness properties have been identified. A linear elastic finite element model is presented that shows a wide agreement with the test results. The study serves as an initial probe into the performance of IPS structures at the component level. Various aspects that are relevant for the design of IPS, such as the assembly, the accuracy and challenges regarding digital fabrication, the durability, and the structural performance are discussed.

The article presents the mechanical behaviour of calcareous waste under consolidated and drained condition in Triaxial compression test (CD). The host material currently being considered for the construction purpose of several buildings in Poland. One of the location of calcareous waste is in Łagiewniki area (in Cracow) [1,2]. In this work, particular attention has been paid to the to ensure fully saturation for all the tested soil samples and avoid generation of unwanted excess pore water pressure during shearing stage. The saturation level of soil samples was estimated based on Skempton’s law (B>0.95). CD Triaxial test have been conducted in order to derive information on its strength and stiffness properties.

Taking the front suspension spring cover of a tractor as the research object, the ANSYS as topology optimization design platform, the minimum value of the volume of spring cover as the objective function, the strength and stiffness of the spring cover does not exceed the set value as the constraint conditions conduct topology optimization and obtained spring cover topology shape optimization model. The results showed that the optimized spring cover, while maintaining the original structural strength and stiffness properties, the new spring cover materials than the original proposal to reduce by 12.9%.

Ureolytic Bacteria

Bio-cementation is a sand consolidation technology, in which ureolytic bacteria release carbonate from urea hydrolysis in the presence of an excess of calcium ions to form calcite (CaCO3) in-situ. Biocementation is to enhance the strength and stiffness properties of soil and rocks though microbial activity or products. This paper addressed the prospect of microbial carbonate precipitation for erosion control in Bangladesh. Bacterial CaCO3 precipitation under appropriate conditions is a general phenomenon where the ureolytic bacteria uses urea as an energy source and produces ammonia which increases the pH in the environment and generates carbonate, causing Ca2+ and CO32- to be precipitated as CaCO3. This CaCO3 join sand particles and forms rocklike materials that auto-repairs by means of sunlight, seawater, and bacteria as microbially induced carbonate precipitation method. These rock particles when produced artificially is called artificial rock and has the potentiality to protect coastlines from erosion.J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 9(1): 59-61 2016

Patch Length

Composite laminates made of fiber patches offer a large flexibility in terms of layup design. Geometrical layup parameters such as patch length and patch thickness are unique for this type of laminates. This article presents results on the investigation of the influence of patch length and patch thickness on the tensile strength and stiffness properties of patched laminates to contribute to the material understanding. The results show that an increasing of patch thickness leads to a drastic reduction in tensile strength of up to 48.7% for a triplication in patch thickness. The patch length was varied between 20 and 120 mm. Up to 60 mm, the tensile strength increased by 11.5%, further increase did not contribute to a further improved tensile strength. The influence of patch length and patch thickness on the stiffness was found to have only a minor effect. A three-dimensional numerical model that accounts for delamination failure using cohesive zone elements shows very good correlation with the experimental results. This shows its potential for virtual testing to determine tensile strength and stiffness properties of patched laminates without additional testing effort.
