AbstractIn the present study, using instrumentation data regarding vertical and horizontal displacement of the dam have been analyzed. Also, the largest and most critical section of the Marvak earth dam is modeled with the behavioral model of the Mohr–Coulomb by GeoStudio software. Numerical modeling of the dam has been done considering the actual embankment conditions and to analyze the changes of the immediate settlement during construction and the consolidation settlement just after construction and initial impounding. The outcomes of instrumentation and numerical analysis at the end of Marvak dam construction showed a settlement between 20 and 500 mm. The results show that the settlement will occur during the construction at the upper levels and the end of construction at the middle levels of the dam. By comparing observed and predicted data, multivariate regression and the explanation coefficient criterion (R2) was found to be R2 = 0.9579, which shows a very good correlation between observed and predicted data, and represents a good match for the settlement points and their location with the initial conditions of the design, and the behavior of the dam in terms of the settlement is found to be stable.

AbstractOnset temperature, Tm and offset temperature (liquidus) Tl of melting of a series of bulk glass forming alloys based on La, Mg, and Pd have been measured by studying systematically the melting behaviour of these alloys using DTA or DSC. Bulk metallic glass formation has been found to be most effective at or near their eutectic points and less effective for off-eutectic alloys. Reduced glass transition temperature Trg given by Tg/Tl is found to show a stronger correlation with critical cooling rate or critical section thickness for glass formation than Trg given by Tg/Tm.

Abstract. The paper presents numerical simulations of transient heat conduction in the uncooled nozzle of a short-range anti-aircraft rocket engine. The calculations were made for the configuration of the nozzle with an insert in the critical section made of various materials. The inserts used were: POCO graphite, Al2O3 ceramics, ZrO2-3Y2O3 ceramics. For comparison, numerical simulations of the heat transfer in a nozzle made entirely of St 45 steel, the melting point of which is 1700K, were also carried out. The engine's working time was in the order of 3 s. Numerical simulations were performed using the COMSOL program. The calculation results are given in the form of temperature dependence and heat flux density as a function of time in the critical cross-section. Keywords: non-cooled nozzle, rocket engine, temperature field

This paper presents a three-tier, critical section selection methodology that is used to identify critical sections for the U.S. EPR™ Standard Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). The critical section selection methodology includes three complementary approaches: qualitative, quantitative, and supplementary. These three approaches are applied to Seismic Category I structures in a complementary fashion to identify the most critical portions of the building whose structural integrity needs to be maintained for postulated design basis events and conditions. Once the design of critical sections for a particular Seismic Category I structure is complete, the design for that structure is essentially complete for safety evaluation purposes. Critical sections, taken as a whole, are analytically representative of an “essentially complete” U.S. EPR™ design; their structural design adequacy provides reasonable assurance of overall U.S. EPR™ structural design adequacy.

Number Of Cycles

The fatigue life of a component is defined as the total number of cycles or time to induce fatigue damage and to initiate a dominant fatigue flaw which is propagated to final failure.(Shigley & Mischke 2002) The aim of this project is to calculate the total fatigue life of metallic structures under cyclic loading by applying equations found by Basquin and Manson-Coffin. The local stresses and strains necessary for the calculation are determined by the finite element method. Former studies concerning this subject have used analytical methods to find the local conditions at the critical section. The analytical methods, based on Neuber and Molski-Glinka’s approaches, permit the calculation of the local stresses and strains at the critical section of the structure’s geometry as a function of the nominal stress (forces) applied. For the finite elements method, ABAQUS is used to determine the local conditions at the critical section of a T-shaped model.
