Buckle Propagation

When a buckle propagates down an underwater pipeline due to excessive hydrostatic pressure, the permanent plastic deformations and sectional collapse of the tube are restricted to a finite length transition zone. The existing theoretical predictions of the propagation pressure Pp are based on ring models neglecting the axial effects in the transition zone. An analysis of the transition phenomenon has not been reported so far. The present paper analyzes the transition zone in an unconfined propagating buckle using a simple model of the pipe consisting of rings and stringlike generators. The thrust of this paper is toward establishing a basic understanding of the transition phenomenon, necessary to improve the theoretical predictions of the propagation pressure further. Expressions for the length of the transition zone have been derived in terms of the material and geometric parameters of the pipe. The results are compared with limited experimental data kindly provided to us by Kyriakides.

Abstract An investigation is presented for the plastic behavior of clamped circular membranes subjected to hydrostatic pressure, based on the Hencky-Mises theory. New strain-displacement relations, valid for finite deformations in the plastic domain, are introduced. The solution is presented in terms of two simultaneous implicit integral equations, which can be solved by numerical methods. The solution also permits the formulation of the instability condition. Experimental work consisted of bulge tests carried out on annealed copper plates of two thicknesses, whose τ-γ curve was previously determined from uniaxial tests. A good correlation is obtained between theoretical predictions and experimental results.

In this work, an additive model for the prediction of the rheological and mechanical properties of monopolymer blends made by virgin and reprocessed components is proposed. A polypropylene sample has been reprocessed more times in an extruder and monopolymer blends have been prepared by simulating an industrial process. The scraps are exposed to regrinding and are melt reprocessed before mixing with the virgin polymer. The reprocessed polymer is, then, subjected to some thermomechanical degradation. Rheological and mechanical experimental data have been compared with the theoretical predictions. The results obtained showed that the values of this simple additive model are a very good fit for the experimental values of both rheological and mechanical properties.

A New Technique

Recirculation is an important factor in single needle dialysis and, if high, can compromise treatment efficiency. To provide information regarding recirculation characteristics of access devices used in single needle dialysis, we have developed a new technique to characterise recirculation and have used this to measure the recirculation of a Terumo 15G fistula needle and a VasCath SC2300 single lumen catheter. The experimentally obtained results agreed well with those established clinically (8.5 ± 2.4% and 18.4 ± 3.4%). The experimental results have also demonstrated a dependence on access type, pump speeds and fistula flow rate. A comparison of experimental data with theoretical predictions showed that the latter exceeded those measured with the largest contribution being due to the experimental fistula.

In order to analysis the relationship between the strength and elongation and the blended ratio of SPF/Cotton blended yarn, the strength and elongation of SPF /cotton blended yarn with different blended ratio were measured and compared with the simple model. The results indicated that For the SPF/cotton blended yarn, the difference between the experimental data and the model value is remarkable because of the high cohesion of the cotton fibers.

Abstract An investigation of the localization phenomenon in band/wheel systems is presented. The effects of tension disorder, interspan coupling, and translation speed on the confinement of the natural modes of free vibration are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Two models of the band/wheel system dynamics are discussed; a simple model proposed by the authors [1] and a more complete model originally proposed by Wang and Mote [9]. The results obtained using the simple interspan coupling model reveal phenomena (i.e., eigenvalue crossings and veerings and associated mode localization) that are qualitatively similar to those featured by the more complex model of interspan coupling, thereby confirming the usefulness of the simple coupling model. The analytical predictions of the two models are validated by an experiment. A very good agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical ones for the simple model is observed. While both the experimental observations and the theoretical predictions show that a beating phenomenon takes place for ordered stationary and axially moving beams, beating is destroyed (indicating the occurrence of localization) when any small tension disorder is introduced especially for small interspan coupling (i.e., when localization is strongest).

Good Agreement

A general description of creep and plastic deformation based on overlay models is presented. This includes the description of time effects during plastic deformation at room temperature. A detailed procedure to obtain the model parameters is also discussed. The description has been evaluated for a large number of uniaxial and biaxial load histories on thin walled tubes. The materials involved are a 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel stabilized with Niobium (WN 1.6770) and a 304 stainless steel (WN 1.4948). The theoretical predictions of the plastic deformations are found to be sufficiently accurate. The evaluation of the phenomenological description for creep shows a fairly good agreement with the real creep deformation process. Special attention requires the description of softening due to microstructural changes.

Isotopic composition of solid and liquid portions of wet snow was investigated experimentally. The compositions changed with time, δ values of ice becoming heavier than those for water. A simple model was proposed to explain their temporal variation. It predicted, however, a more rapid change of δ values than the trend obtained in the experiments. This suggests the presence of a “diffusion layer” adjacent to growing snow particles, where isotope concentration has dropped at the ice-water interface because of the fractionation during grain coarsening. The slope in δD–δ18O diagram estimated by the model is compatible with the experimental data. It is considered, therefore, that the freezing fraction, the part of the liquid which refreezes to relatively large particles during grain coarsening, could be estimated by measuring the isotope concentration.

Orientational Ordering

The model for the angular orientational energy (AOE) has been extended to hexagonal submonolayer domains of Ag electrodeposited at a constant overpotential on a C(0001) surface. These domains which are characterized by an epitaxy angle θ=15±5° and an Ag−Ag distance d Ag−Ag =0.330± 0.016 nm, can be considered as precursors of 3D Ag crystal formation, according to a Volmer-Weber type mechanism. Calculations are based upon a simple Hamiltonian evaluated by introducing the concept of the commensurable unit cell. A Fourier series expansion for the substrate potential was used. Results from the model predict the existence of a commensurable cell in agreement with the experimental data derived from STM imaging.
