The Influence of the Geological Model in the Stress-Strain Analysis of the 1963 Vajont Landslide

Delamination between layers occurs during the creasing and subsequent folding of paperboard. Delamination is necessary to provide some stiffness properties, but excessive or uncontrolled delamination can weaken the fold, and therefore needs to be controlled. An understanding of the mechanics of delamination is predicated upon the availability of reliable and properly calibrated simulation tools to predict experimental observations. This paper describes a finite element simulation of paper mechanics applied to the scoring and folding of multi-ply carton board. Our goal was to provide an understanding of the mechanics of these operations and the proper models of elastic and plastic behavior of the material that enable us to simulate the deformation and delamination behavior. Our material model accounted for plasticity and sheet anisotropy in the in-plane and z-direction (ZD) dimensions. We used different ZD stress-strain curves during loading and unloading. Material parameters for in-plane deformation were obtained by fitting uniaxial stress-strain data to Ramberg-Osgood plasticity models and the ZD deformation was modeled using a modified power law. Two-dimensional strain fields resulting from loading board typical of a scoring operation were calculated. The strain field was symmetric in the initial stages, but increasing deformation led to asymmetry and heterogeneity. These regions were precursors to delamination and failure. Delamination of the layers occurred in regions of significant shear strain and resulted primarily from the development of large plastic strains. The model predictions were confirmed by experimental observation of the local strain fields using visual microscopy and linear image strain analysis. The finite element model predicted sheet delamination matching the patterns and effects that were observed in experiments.

Frost heave must be considered in cases where pipelines are laid in permafrost in order to protect the pipelines from overstress and to maintain the safe operation. In this paper, a finite element model for stress/strain analysis in a pipeline subjected to differential frost heave was presented, in which the amount of frost heave is calculated using a segregation potential model and considering creep effects of the frozen soil. In addition, a computational method for the temperature field around a pipeline was proposed so that the frozen depth and temperature variation gradient could be obtained. Using the procedure proposed in this paper, stress/strain can be calculated according to the temperature on the surface of soil and in a pipeline. The result shows the characteristics of deformation and loading of a pipeline subjected to differential frost heave. In general, the methods and results in this paper can provide a reference for the design, construction and operation of pipelines in permafrost areas.

Strain Evolution

One of the most important components in the hydraulic fracturing is a type of positive-displacement-reciprocating-pumps known as a fracture pump. The fluid end module of the pump is prone to failure due to unconventional drilling impacts of the fracking. The basis of the fluid end module can be attributed to cross bores. Stress concentration locations appear at the bores intersections and as a result of cyclic pressures failures occur. Autofrettage is one of the common technologies to enhance the fatigue resistance of the fluid end module through imposing the compressive residual stresses. However, evaluating the stress–strain evolution during the autofrettage and approximating the residual stresses are vital factors. Fluid end module geometry is complex and there is no straightforward analytical solution for prediction of the residual stresses induced by autofrettage. Finite element analysis (FEA) can be applied to simulate the autofrettage and investigate the stress–strain evolution and residual stress fields. Therefore, a nonlinear kinematic hardening material model was developed and calibrated to simulate the autofrettage process on a typical commercial triplex fluid end module. Moreover, the results were compared to a linear kinematic hardening model and a 6–12% difference between two models was observed for compressive residual hoop stress at different cross bore corners. However, implementing nonlinear FEA for solving the complicated problems is computationally expensive and time-consuming. Thus, the comparison between nonlinear FEA and a proposed analytical formula based on the notch strain analysis for a cross bore was performed and the accuracy of the analytical model was evaluated.

Scherrer Equation

In the present work, ZnO nanostructures were synthesized via wet chemistry method. The seeding solution was prepared from zinc nitrate tetrahydrate and hexamethylenetetramine. Prior to the heating process, the seeding solution was immersed in cold bath (0°C). XRD analysis had shown sharp peaks in diffractogram, indicating the high crystallinity of ZnO nanostructures. The crystallite size was determined using Scherrer equation and Williamson-Hall method. Other relevant parameters including stress, strain, and energy density were calculated using Williamson-Hall assuming UDM, UDSM, and UDEDM. The results had revealed that crystallite size calculated with Williamson-Hall method is more accurate than Scherrer equation.

Tubular Specimens

A simplified treatment is presented for the analysis of tubular specimens subject to in-phase tension-torsion loads in the elasto-plastic regime. Use is made of a hardening function readily obtainable from the uniaxial cyclic stress-strain curve and hysteresis loops. Expressions are given for incremental as well as deformation theories of plasticity. The reversals of loading are modelled by referring the flow equations to the point of reversal and calculating distances from the point of reversal using a yield critertion. The method has been used to predict the deformation response of in-phase tests on an En15R steel, and comparisons with experimental data are provided. The material exhibited a non-Masing type behaviour. A power law rule is developed for predicting multiaxial cyclic response from uniaxial data by incorporating a hysteretic strain hardening exponent.
