The results of extensive experimental studies to determine the pressure losses for turbulent flow in smooth pipe bends of circular cross section are presented in this paper. To make the data usable in practical design problems, the results are discussed in relation to those found by previous investigators, and empirical formulas for the bend-loss coefficient are given. The general correlation of the test data appears to be as good as our present test information will permit.

Experimental studies of muscle contraction often involve difficult problems in the design of cantilever beams for movable levers, transducers, or mechanical supports. Equations are presented for the calculation of mass, inertia, stress distribution, strain, deflection curve, compliance, and resonant frequency of uniform or nonuniform cantilever beams made of structural materials of different density or elastic modulus. Formulas are listed for solid, thick-wall, and thin-wall uniform beams of rectangular and circular cross section. Physical properties including density, elastic and torsional moduli, stress and strain limits, thermal expansion coefficients, Poisson's ratio, and certain elastic-modulus-to-density ratios are tabulated for structural materials including common metals, glass, plastic, and wood. A graphical design procedure is presented based on a chart containing loci of constant beam parameter values as a function of beam length and height or diameter, for the simple geometries. The choice of structural material is discussed for design problems with typical constraints, and examples are given of the design of beams of nonuniform cross section. Methods for extending the design chart to other geometries and materials are included.

SummaryIncompressible turbulent flow in smooth pipe bends of circular-arc curvature and constant cross section is discussed. The effects of bend angle, radius ratio, duct cross-sectional shape and Reynolds number are considered. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the tangents on the flow and losses in a bend. In addition consideration is given to the definition and measurement of the bend loss.A correlation of experimental pressure loss data is made. It is shown that large variations in experimental results, which cannot be ascribed to the effects of geometrical parameters or Reynolds number, are accounted for by the effects of the downstream tangent and position at which the pressure measurements were made. The inadequacy of existing experimental information is an obstacle to the presentation of comprehensive data on the effect of geometrical parameters on bend losses.

Fully developed turbulent flow of air at Re = 28,000 to 82,000 entered a porous tube with circular cross section. Air was injected uniformly through the tube wall for 18 diameters at various ratios of mass velocity through the tube wall to the average mass velocity at the entrance cross section of the tube, ranging from 0.00246 to 0.0584. Tests were also made with zero entrance velocity at the upstream end of the porous tube so that the flow developed in the tube exclusively as a result of the uniform mass injection through the tube wall. Most of the change in the shape of the velocity profiles, in the internal and wall shear, in the momentum flux factor, and in the friction factor occurred within the first 10 to 12 diameters of the tube length. Some changes even persisted further downstream, caused by the fact that mass is continuously injected along the porous tube. The parameters mentioned above, however, become independent of axial position for normalized distances downstream from the entrance cross section larger than x/D = 10 to 12, when they are considered as function of the ratio of injection velocity to average main flow velocity at the specific axial location. Eddy diffusivity values agreed in this presentation reasonably with the results of measurements in turbulent tube flow without injection. Normalized friction factors agreed with values measured in external flow. Properly normalized velocity defect profiles with injection agreed with those for flow without injection.

Aim of the research to verify the proposed calculating apparatus and accumulate new experimental data on the complex resistance of reinforced concrete structures, experimental studies of such structures made of high-strength concrete of circular and circular cross-section were conducted at the testing base of the South-West State University. Method is experimental-theoretical. Results of experimental research the plots of the deflections and rotation angles, the dependency of deformations of concrete according to the testimony of the outlets of electrodesorption with respect to the calculated cross section 1-1. The main deformations of elongation and shortening of concrete were determined; the reinforcement was selected in such a way that in the stage preceding the destruction, it reached fluidity, so the stresses in the reinforcement are known. It is established that for reinforced concrete structures made of high-strength concrete of circular cross-section, as a rule, there is the development of two cracks, i.e. the round shape of the cross-section slightly reduces the concentration due to the structure of high-strength concrete. For the annular section there were several cracks, of which stands out the one on which the destruction occurs. On the steps preceding the destruction, this crack begins to prevail over the rest and has a maximum opening width. On the basis of experimental studies of reinforced concrete structures made of high-strength concrete of square and box sections, reliable data on the complex stress-strain state in the studied areas of resistance, such as: the values of the generalized load of cracking , and destruction ,, its level relative to the limit load; the distance between the cracks at different levels of cracking (up to the moment of destruction, as a rule, two or three levels are formed); crack widths at the level of the axis of the working armature, at a distance of two diameters from the axes of the armature and along the entire crack profile at various stages of loading, from which it follows that the crack opening at the level of the axis of reinforcement in 2-3 times less compared with the crack opening on the removal of 1.5-2 diameters of the working axis (longitudinal and transverse) reinforcement; the coordinates of the spatial formation of cracks; schematic drawings on tablets of education, development and opening of cracks of reinforced concrete constructions in torsion with bending. Thus, the experimental studies and the result provide an opportunity to test the developed computational model and its working hypotheses for assessing the resistance of reinforced concrete structures made of high-strength concrete in torsion with bending.

The biological objectives of root canal treatment have not changed over the recentdecades, but the methods to attain these goals have been greatly modified. Theintroduction of NiTi rotary files represents a major leap in the development ofendodontic instruments, with a wide variety of sophisticated instruments presentlyavailable (1, 2).Whatever their modification or improvement, all of these instruments have onething in common: they consist of a metal core with some type of rotating blade thatmachines the canal with a circular motion using flutes to carry the dentin chips anddebris coronally. Consequently, all rotary NiTi files will machine the root canal to acylindrical bore with a circular cross-section if the clinician applies them in a strictboring manner


The work of multilayer glass structures for central and eccentric compression and bending are considered. The substantiation of the chosen research topic is made. The description and features of laminated glass for the structures investigated, their characteristics are presented. The analysis of the results obtained when testing for compression, compression with bending, simple bending of models of columns, beams, samples of laminated glass was made. Overview of the types and nature of destruction of the models are presented, diagrams of material operation are constructed, average values of the resistance of the cross-sections of samples are obtained, the table of destructive loads is generated. The need for development of a set of rules and guidelines for the design of glass structures, including laminated glass, for bearing elements, as well as standards for testing, rules for assessing the strength, stiffness, crack resistance and methods for determining the strength of control samples is emphasized. It is established that the strength properties of glass depend on the type of applied load and vary widely, and significantly lower than the corresponding normative values of the strength of heat-strengthened glass. The effect of the connecting polymeric material and manufacturing technology of laminated glass on the strength of the structure is also shown. The experimental values of the elastic modulus are different in different directions of the cross section and in the direction perpendicular to the glass layers are two times less than along the glass layers.
