AbstractExisting analytical models usually fail to match with the actual conditions due to ignoring the nonlinear behavior of the surrounding material reaction force, which changes progressively with the joint shear displacement from elastic stage to yield stage. To tackle this problem, this study proposes a new analytical model to describe the bolt deformation and bolt contribution from elastic stage to plastic stage. The developed model is verified by available experimental direct shear tests of bolted joints and compared with existing models. Then, based on this model, the effects of the joint dilation angle, the bolt installation angle, the friction angle, and the surrounding material strength on bolt contribution are also analyzed and its implication is further discussed. Our results show that the proposed model can precisely describe the evolution of bolt contribution from elastic stage to plastic stage. Compared with surrounding material strength, the augmentation of the joint dilation angle and friction angle is more beneficial to increase the bolt contribution and the optimal installation angle. The work presented is to attempt to provide a reference for the understanding of bolting mechanism of jointed rock mass, the development of bolting theories and the practice of bolting engineering.

A gas bearing of bump foil type comprises an underlying structure made of one or several strips of corrugated sheet metal covered by a top foil surface. The fluid film pressure needs to be coupled with the behavior of the structure for obtaining the whole bearing characteristics. Unlike in classical elasto-aerodynamic models, a foil bearing (FB) structure has a very particular behavior due to friction interfaces, bump interactions, and nonisotropic stiffness. Some authors have studied this complex behavior with the help of three-dimensional finite element simulations. These simulations evidenced a lack of reliable analytical models that can be easily implemented in a FB prediction code. The models found in the literature tend to overestimate the foil flexibility because most of them do not consider the interactions between bumps that are highly important. The present work then develops a model that describes the FB structure as a multidegree of freedom system of interacting bumps. Each bump includes three degrees of freedom linked with elementary springs. The stiffnesses of these springs are analytically expressed so that the model can be adjusted for any dimensions and material properties. Once the stiffness matrix of the whole FB structure is obtained, the entire static system is solved taking friction into account. Despite its relative simplicity, comparisons with finite elements simulations for various static load distributions and friction coefficients show a good correlation. This analytical model has been integrated into a foil bearing prediction code. The load capacity of a first generation foil bearing was then calculated using this structure model as well as other simplified theoretical approaches. Significant differences were observed, revealing the paramount influence of the structure on the static and dynamic characteristics of the foil bearing. Some experimental investigations of the static stiffness of the structure were also realized for complete foil bearings. The structure reaction force was calculated for a shaft displacement with zero rotation speed, using either the multidegree of freedom model or the usual stiffness formulas. The comparisons between theoretical and experimental results also tend to confirm the importance of taking into account the bump interactions in determining the response of the structure.

<p>In this paper, the classical bearing capacity problem and the logspiral transition zone are re-considered from a continuum plasticity approach as well as discrete element approach. In the discrete element approach, the bearing capacity problem is considered from the elastic stage, plastic stage to the final rupture stage. It is found that there are noticeable differences in the failure mechanism between the continuum and discontinuum analyses, and the well-known logspiral transition zone is also not apparent in both the discrete element approach, plasticity approach as well as the laboratory tests. With the increase in the friction angle of soil, the transition zone is becoming more like a wedge zone than a logspiral zone as found from the present study. </p>

The CANYVAL-C (CubeSat Astronomy by NASA and Yonsei using a virtual telescope alignment for coronagraph) is a space science demonstration mission that involves taking several images of the solar corona with two CubeSats—1U CubeSat (Timon) and 2U CubeSat (Pumbaa)—in formation flying. In this study, we developed and evaluated structural and thermal designs of the CubeSats Timon and Pumbaa through finite element analyses, considering the nonlinearity effects of the nylon wire of the deployable solar panels installed in Pumbaa. On-orbit thermal analyses were performed with an accurate analytical model for a visible camera on Timon and a micro propulsion system on Pumbaa, which has a narrow operating temperature range. Finally, the analytical models were correlated for enhancing the reliability of the numerical analysis. The test results indicated that the CubeSats are structurally safe with respect to the launch environment and can activate each component under the space thermal environment. The natural frequency of the nylon wire for the deployable solar panels was found to increase significantly as the wire was tightened strongly. The conditions of the thermal vacuum and cycling testing were implemented in the thermal analytical model, which reduced the differences between the analysis and testing.

The dynamic equations of a micro-positioning Scott—Russell (SR) mechanism associated with two flexible hinges and an offset are developed to calculate output responses. Both rigid and flexible hinges are considered to explore the results. The main features in the kinematics of the SR mechanism are its displacement amplification and straight-line motion, which are widely needed in practical industries. The manufacturing inaccuracy of the SR mechanism definitely causes geometric offsets of flexure hinges, and affects displacement amplification and straight-line output motion. Analytical models based on kinematics and Hamilton's principle are derived to explore the variation of linearity ratio, magnification factor, and deviation factor due to various offsets and link lengths. From numerical simulations for the SR mechanism with various offsets of flexible hinges in the conditions of different link lengths, it is found that offsets of flexure hinges obviously affect the amplifying factor and linearity ratio, and appear to dominate the changes of magnification factors. Moreover, an analytical model is also used to predict magnification factors due to various offsets. Finally, some conclusions concerning the effects of offset on the performance of the SR mechanism are drawn.

When calculating the dam slope failure process, traditional strength reduction method doesn't consider the difference of decay rate between cohesion and internal friction angle and discount the strength parameters for all elements. This paper uses two different reduction factors for material strength parameters, slope cohesion and internal friction angle. Based on the yield approach index criterion, we change the reduction region in time and put forward a double safety factor of dynamic local strength reduction method for engineering analysis of dam slope stability.

Abstract The residual stresses could affect the ability of components to bear loading conditions and also the performance. The researchers considered workpiece surface as a plane and ignored the effect of surface topography induced by the intermittent cutting process when modeling residual stresses. The aim of this research develops an analytical model to predict workpiece residual stresses during intermittent machining by correlating the effect of surface topography. The relative motions of tool and workpiece are analyzed for modeling thermal-mechanical and surface topography. The influence of dynamic cutting force and thermal on different positions of surface topography is also considered in analytical model. Then the residual stresses model with the surface topography effect can be developed in intermittent cutting. The analytical models of dynamic cutting force, surface topography and residual stresses are verified by the experiments. The variation trend of evaluated values of the residual stress of workpiece is basically consistent with that of measured values. The compressive residual stress of workpiece surface in highest point of the surface topography are higher than that in the lowest point.

In this study, we obtain the comparative analysis of methods of quick approximate analytical prediction of Mach shock height in planar steady supersonic flows (for example, in supersonic jet flow and in narrowing channel between two wedges), that are developed since the 1980s and being actively modernized now. A new analytical model based on flow averaging downstream curved Mach shock is proposed, which seems more accurate than preceding models, comparing with numerical and experimental data.
