Experimental investigation on rockburst process and failure characteristics in trapezoidal tunnel under different lateral stresses

An experimental investigation was conducted on aluminum alloy mortise-and-tenon T-joints (MT-joints) under dynamic cyclic loading. The MT-joints strengths, stiffness, failure characteristics, hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, restoring force models and energy dissipation curves of the joints have been reported. It’s shown from the experiment that main failure modes of the MT-joints are plastic deformation of squeezing area and tenon divorced from joint. And MT-joints structure is a typical semi-rigid connection that can withstand both rotation and bending moment.

Citrus Limetta

The present research venture focuses on utilization of food and agricultural waste Citrus limetta (musambi) peel by using it as a filler material to develop novel epoxy (EP) composites. Experimental investigation has been performed to analyse the influence of C limetta (musambi) peel particles (CLPP) on mechanical properties (tensile, flexural and impact strength) of the developed composites. Different loadings by weight percentages (0, 5, 10 and 15 wt%) of filler have been used to explain the variation in mechanical properties. Along with effect of different filler percentages, failure characteristics of the prepared samples have also been studied. The results indicate that higher CLPP content in EP matrix has a detrimental effect on mechanical properties of manufactured biocomposites. Thermal characterization was performed to analyse the degradation behaviour and the onset temperature. Morphological analysis of the fractured surfaces was also conducted with the help of a scanning electron microscope. The current experimental investigation has revealed that CLPP can be used as a potential filler for manufacturing biocomposites with applications in general purpose interior fitments in addition to various non-structural components.
