Dynamic modeling and simulation of percussive impact riveting are presented for robotic automation. This is an impact induced process to deform rivets, which involves an impact rivet gun driven under pneumatic pressure to pound a rivet against a bucking bar. To model this process, first, a new approach is developed to determine the hammer output speed under input pneumatic pressure. Second, impact dynamics is applied to model the impact acting on the rivet under the hammer hits. Finally, elastoplastic analysis is carried out to derive nonlinear equations for the determination of permanent (plastic) deformations of the rivet when hitting the bucking bar. For simulation, numerical integration algorithms are applied to solve the impact dynamic model and determine the riveting time according to riveting specifications. Riveting tests are carried out for model validation. Agreement between the simulation and experimental results shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper studied the impact dynamic modeling of the planar constrained metamorphic mechanism (PCMM) during configuration transformation. Based on the dynamic theory of the multi-rigid-body system and the coefficient of restitution equation, a new method for dynamic modeling of PCMM considering impact motions generated by configuration transformation is presented, which can be treated as a theoretical foundation for performance design and dynamic control. Firstly, the topology theory based on the impact motion can be classified as the stable impact motion and the mobile impact motion, which is the prerequisite for dynamic modeling and simulation. Secondly, the stable and mobile impact dynamic models for PCMM are established according to the dynamic theory of the multi-rigid-body system. Then, using these models, the corresponding impulse solving models are deduced combining with the coefficient of restitution equation. Finally, the examples of the stable impact motion and the mobile impact motion are respectively given, and the configuration-complete dynamic simulations are carried out. By comparing with the dynamic models without considering the impact motion, the dynamic characteristics of PCMM are analyzed. The theory and method proposed in this paper can be also applied in general planar robotic systems to deal with the problem of internal collision dynamics.

The Impact

This paper presents a computational framework that analyzes the effect of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) on the impact dynamics of pressurized commodity tank cars using the nonlinear dynamic finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit. There exist three distinct phases for a tank car loaded with a liquefied substance: pressurized gas, pressurized liquid and the solid structure. When a tank car comes under dynamic impact with an external object, contact is often concentrated in a small zone with sizes comparable to that of the impacting object. While the majority of the tank car structure undergoes elastic-plastic deformations, materials in the impact zone can experience large plastic deformations and be stretched to a state of failure, resulting in the loss of structural integrity. Moreover, the structural deformation changes the volume that the fluids (gas and liquid) occupy and consequently the fluid pressure, which in turn affects the structural response including the potential initiation and evolution of fracture in the tank car structure. For an event in which the impact severity is low and the tank car maintains its structural integrity, shell elements following elastic-plastic constitutive relations can be employed for the entire tank car domain. For events in which the impact severity is higher and the tank car is expected to be punctured, an equivalent plastic strain based fracture initiation criterion expressed as a function of stress triaxiality is adopted for the material in the tank car’s impact zone. The fracture initiation is implemented for ductile, shear and mixed fracture modes and followed by further material deterioration governed by a strain softening law. Multi-layered solid elements are employed in the impact zone to capture this progressive fracture behavior. The liquid phase is modeled with a linear Us–Up Hugoniot form of the Mie-Gru¨neisen equation of state, and the gas phase is modeled with the ideal gas equation of state. Small to moderate amounts of fluid sloshing are assumed for an impacted tank car in this study. As such, the FSI problem can be solved with the Lagrangian formulation of ABAQUS, and appropriate contact algorithms are employed to model the multi-phase interactions. The force, displacement and impact energy results from the finite element analysis show good correlations with the available shell (side) impact test data. The puncture energy of a tank car in a shell impact scenario is further analyzed. It is demonstrated that the FSI effect needs to be adequately addressed in an analysis to avoid overestimating the puncture resistance of a tank car in an impact event.

The Impact

A very high resolution tiltmeter (10–8 rad, 0.002 s) developed by P.A. Blum, in 1957 was used to establish a new approach to directly evaluate the in situ average elastic rock-mass modulus. Five tiltmeters were installed on the facades of the Louvre museum to study the deformations induced by internal structural work and by the impact of the Paris metro traffic movement. The measured data from the tiltmeter were used to determine the elastic rock modulus of the museum's foundation using the Boussinesq model. The results obtained by the developed approach are consistent with the typical elastic rock-mass modulus for the rock found in the museum's foundations. Key words: rock-mass modulus, tiltmeter, deformation, Boussinesq model.

The deficit of subnational budgets and deceleration capital investments in multiple Russian regions increase the relevance of research aimed at improvement of tax incentivizing practice of the regional investment process. The studies focused on determination of the impact of socioeconomic and institutional factors upon the efficiency of investment tax expenses obtained wide circulation within the foreign scientific literature. The subject of this article is the assessment of sensitivity of the efficiency of regional tax expanses towards investment attractiveness of the types of economic activity carried out by the residents of territories of advanced socioeconomic development, created in the subjects of Far Easter Federal District. The scientific novelty and practical values of this research consists in substantiation of the reasonableness of assessment of investment attractiveness of the types of economic activity that are stimulated by tax incentives. Methodology for assessing investment attractiveness is proposed and tested. The conclusion is made that in case of low investment attractiveness of the type of economic activity, which was planned to support by tax incentives, it is required to conduct and additional analysis to avoid unjustified tax expanses.

Law Of Delict

The Constitutional Court (CC) judgment of Lee v Minister of Correction Services 2013 2SA 144 (CC) is a recent contribution to transformative constitutional jurisprudence in the field of the law of delict. This matter turned on the issue of factual causation in the context of wrongful and negligent systemic omissions by the state. In this case note, I explore the law relating to this element of delictual liability with specific regard to the traditional test for factual causation – the conditio sine qua non (‘but-for’) test. In particular, I note the problems occasioned by formalistic adherence to this test in the context of systemic state omissions as evidenced by the SCA judgment in the same matter. I also consider the manner in which English courts have addressed this problem. Thereafter, I analyse the CC’s broader approach to the determination of factual causation as one based on common sense and justice. I argue that this approach endorses a break from a formalistic application of the test and constitutes a step towards an approach which resonates with the foundational constitutional values of freedom, dignity and equality. Furthermore, it presents an appropriate solution to the problems associated with factual causation where systemic omissions are concerned. I then consider the transformative impact of the Lee judgment. In particular, I argue that the broader enquiry favoured by the CC facilitates the realisation of constitutionally guaranteed state accountability, and amounts to an extension of the existing norm of accountability jurisprudence. Hence, I contend that the judgment presents a further effort by the Constitutional Court to effect wholesale the constitutionalisation of the law of delict, as well as a vindicatory tool to be used by litigants who have been adversely affected by systemic state omissions.
