The characteristics of hydrostatic bearings can be influenced by the compensating device they use, for example, a thin-walled orifice (diaphragm). The flow through the orifice is given by a law where an ad hoc discharge coefficient appears, and, in order to guarantee the characteristics of the hydrostatic bearing, this coefficient must be calibrated. The aim of this work is to provide an accurate estimation of the discharge coefficient under specific conditions. Therefore an experimental bench was designed and a numerical model was carried out. The results obtained then by the experimental and theoretical approach were compared with the values given by the literature. Finally, the influence of the discharge coefficient on the behavior of a thrust bearing is examined.

Thin Walled

A finite-element procedure for the determination of buckling pressure of thin-walled cylindrical shells used in ocean structures is presented. The derivation of the elastic and geometric stiffness matrices is discussed in detail followed by a succinct description of the computer program developed by the authors during the course of this study for the determination of the buckling pressure. Particular attention is paid to the boundary conditions which strongly influence the buckling pressure. Applications involving the interstiffener buckling in submersible hulls and cylindrical shells with stepwise variation in wall thickness are considered and the results compared with the solutions and procedures available in the literature.

Thin Walled

The calculation, modeling and experimental research of steel-concrete tubular elements made of thin-walled galvanized sheet metal and lightweight concrete have been carried out. The proposed type of structures can be used as a separate structure in the form of a column or a pillar, and one of the types of the reinforcement of a certain light structure. The basic technological and constructive requirements for manufacturing and further exploitation of structures are given. For determination of actual work’s indexes of constructions experimental research of standards are undertaken, and recommendations on adjustment of well-known calculation formulas of close constructions as for structural parameters are given. The design (modeling) was performed in MSC / Nastran software. An analysis of the proposed structures use is carried out with the corresponding conclusions.

Thin Walled

Thin-walled cylindrical shells are widely used in many industrial sectors as light structural elements. Determination of their buckling strength under various types of loading conditions is a crucial work for engineering design. Due to the needs of research of crashworthiness, dynamic buckling of cylindrical shells subjected to the strong axial impact becomes a frontier issue in recent years. The axial impact is a very complex dynamic process because of the coupling of multiple effects. In this paper, the buckling mechanism of cylindrical shells subjected to axial impact and the influences of boundary conditions, and energy absorption properties have been investigated by experiments.

Good Agreement

A new method is proposed for measuring the axial component of an axisymmetric residual stress field in thin-walled cylinders. The specific application considered is determination of the stress at the centerline of a circumferential weld. The method involves strain measurements at the outside wall while a complete circumferential slit is cut to increasing depths from the inside wall. The technique is applied to the simple case of a single pass weld. Experimental results are in good agreement with predicted values.

Ring Stiffener

A fast and simple method for the determination of the residual deformation for a class of welding problems, ring-stiffened pipes, is proposed. The method can predictradial as well as angular distortion of the thin-walled pipe-ring-stiffener/flange assembly. The pipe and stiffener material is elasto-plastic. In particular, the accumulation of deformation in multipass welding is incorporated in the model. Each weld pass is treated separately. This facilitates the assessment of the influence of the sequence in which the weld passes are deposited on the residual deformation state. The method will be included in a conversational knowledge-based “expert” system for the production of a welded ring-stiffened pipe.
