Circular Tubes

Based on the improved general solution for a thin, circular tube subjected to in-plane end moments, the effect of the radius ratio on the stress distribution, rigidity, and stress intensification factors is studied. The existing asymptotic solutions are reexamined and modified to reflect the effect of the radius ratio. The modified asymptotic formulas are compared with the existing experimental results.

Plane Bending

A general solution is presented for a thin, curved circular tube under in-plane bending. It includes the solution given by Clark and Reissner as a particular case in which the ratio of the radius of the tube to the radius of its center line is very small. The series expansions satisfy the equilibrium equation for any radius ratio while the compatibility condition is guaranteed by minimizing the complementary energy. The minimization is achieved in the manner of Raileigh-Ritz whereas the evaluation of integrals are facilitated by the use of binomial expansion. Numerical results correlate well with the experimental data. The solution is more rapidly convergent as compared to the existing analytical methods.

This paper deals with the strength and the sealing performance of pipe flange connections combining the bonding force of adhesives with the clamping force of bolts. The epoxy adhesives or anaerobic sealants are bonded at the interface partially instead of gaskets in pipe flange connections. The stress distribution in the epoxy adhesives (anaerobic sealant), which governs the sealing performance, and the variations in axial bolt force are analyzed, using an axisymmetrical theory of elasticity, when an internal pressure is applied to a connection in which two pipe flanges are clamped together by bolts and nuts with an initial clamping force after being joined by epoxy adhesives or anaerobic sealant. In addition, a method for estimating the strength of the combination connection is demonstrated. Experiments are performed and the analytical results are consistent with the experimental results concerning the variation in axial bolt force and the strength of combination connections. It can be seen that the strength of connections increases with a decrease in the bolt pitch circle diameter. Furthermore, it is seen that the sealing performance of such combination connections in which the interface is bonded partially is improved over that of pipe flange connections with metallic gaskets.

Complicated Task

A number of plane inviscid jet flow problems of interest in hydrodynamics require the use of elliptic functions theory. Generally speaking, finding the general solution to a problem in terms of elliptic functions is not a complicated task. However, finding solutions as rapidly convergent infinite series or as sound asymptotic formulas is often not as easy, and special ways of treatment may prove to be necessary. In parallel with solving the problem of peripheral jets, the author's earlier paper (1985) proposed some such ways of treatment. In the present paper, a new method of treatment is proposed (and used);this approach may be of help in studies where the methods of elliptic functions theory have to be used.

Summary Experimental results are presented of the measurement of the ratio of the wall shear stresses at the inner and outer surfaces of concentric annuli. Five radius ratios were investigated with Reynolds numbers in the range 2000-89 000 with air. The Reynolds number is defined as where ū is the bulk velocity. It is concluded that the ratio of the shear stresses is very different from the corresponding laminar flow value and is a function of both radius ratio and Reynolds number.

The residual stress distribution for a circumferential weld between cylinders was obtained in a prior publication for a full penetration, single pass weld with no variation of alloy content across the weld. In the present work the approach is extended to cover a wider variety of weld conditions. It is shown that the effects of multipass welds, partial penetration welds, and welds with filler metal differing greatly in properties from the base metal can approximately be taken into account. Experimental results are presented to support the proposed method of analysis.

Wave Induced

When subjected to the dynamic load, the behavior of the structures is complex and makes it difficult to describe the process of the deformation. In the paper, an analytical model is presented to analyze the plastic deformation of the steel circular tubes. The aim of the research is to calculate the deflection and the deformation angle of the tubes. A series of assumptions are made to achieve the objective. During the research, we build a mathematical model for simply supported thin-walled metal tubes with finite length. At a specified distance above the tube, a TNT charge explodes and generates a plastic shock wave. The wave can be seen as uniformly distributed over the upper semicircle of the cross-section. The simplified Tresca yield domain can be used to describe the plastic flow of the circular tube. The yield domain together with the plastic flow law and other assumptions can finally lead to the solving of the deflection. In the end, tubes with different dimensions subjected to blast wave induced by the TNT charge are observed in experiments. Comparison shows that the numerical results agree well with experiment observations.

Transverse Inertia Effect

Based on the assumption of one-dimensional specimens and stress distribution hypothesis，SHPB experiment is used to analysis dynamic characteristics of materials. But it is impossible for the transverse inertia and the friction on the surfaces of specimen. A model is established in order to evaluate the degree of influence of horizontal specimen inertia and friction on the experimental results. Moreover, the model is applied to discuss the transverse inertia effect influence on elastic modulus of materials.

The transient critical heat fluxes (transient CHFs) in SUS304-circular tubes with various twisted-tape inserts are systematically measured for mass velocities (G = 3988–13,620 kg/m2s), inlet liquid temperatures (Tin = 287.55–313.14 K), outlet pressures (Pout = 805.11–870.23 kPa) and exponentially increasing heat inputs (Q = Q0 exp(t/τ), exponential periods, τ, of 28.39 ms to 8.43 s) by the experimental water loop comprised of a multistage canned-type circulation pump controlled by an inverter. The SUS304-circular tube of inner diameter (d = 6 mm), heated length (L = 59.4 mm), effective length (Leff = 49.4 mm), L/d (=9.9), Leff/d (=8.23), and wall thickness (δ = 0.5 mm) with average surface roughness (Ra = 3.89 μm) is used in this work. The SUS304 twisted-tapes with twist ratios, y [H/d = (pitch of 180 deg rotation)/d], of 2.40 and 4.45 are used. The transient critical heat fluxes for SUS304-circular tubes with the twisted-tapes of y = 2.40 and 4.45 are compared with authors' transient CHF data for the empty SUS304-circular tube and a SUS304-circular tube with the twisted-tape of y = 3.37, and the values calculated by authors' transient CHF correlations for the empty circular tube and the circular tube with twisted-tape insert. The influences of heating rate, twist ratio and swirl velocity on the transient CHF are investigated into details and the widely and precisely predictable correlations of the transient CHF against inlet and outlet subcoolings for the circular tubes with various twisted-tape inserts are given based on the experimental data. The correlations can describe the transient CHFs for SUS304-circular tubes with various twisted-tapes of twist ratios (y = 2.40, 3.37, and 4.45) in the wide experimental ranges of exponential periods (τ = 28.39 ms to 8.43 s) and swirl velocities (usw = 5.04–20.72 m/s) obtained in this work within −26.19% to 14.03% difference. The mechanism of the subcooled flow boiling critical heat flux in a circular tube with twisted-tape insert is discussed.
