Abstract Due to the development of gas and oil exploration into the deep sea, the effective tensile capacity provided by armored steel wire will decrease rapidly with the increase of the weight of umbilical cables. In this paper, two designs of lightweight umbilical cables were studied in full consideration of the geometric characteristics, and the mechanical properties were investigated under tension, bending, and torsion. The contact and friction between the components of the umbilical cables were also included in the model. Three cases are presented for validation from theoretical and finite element methods. The discussion on variables was carried out from the views of friction coefficient and helically wound angle. Compared with the steel tube umbilical model, the nonmetallic armored umbilical cable shows higher tensile strength and more flexibility. With the increase of friction coefficient, the stiffness of umbilical cable models don't change much. The helically wound angle has a great influence on the tensile stiffness and bending stiffness but little effect on the torsional rigidity. The proposed lightweight model can be applicable to 6000m water depth. This research can benefit the design of umbilical cables to achieve the goal of high tensile capacity in deepwater applications.

In order to exert the force performance of steel tubular columns filled with steel-reinforced concrete, the focus of the paper is about the influence of load condition on flexural mechanical properties and the shear mechanical properties of the composite columns. The two types of loading conditions are: 1.Steel pipe, steel placed in the steel tube and concrete subject to compressive load simultaneously; 2.Compressive load acts on steel and concrete. The results show that the calculated results based on ADINA and the experimental ones are in agreement well. The calculated results also show that the load condition has no influence on flexural mechanical properties, but has a great influence on shear mechanical properties of the composite columns.

Abstract Armor pots are mechanical devices employed in the offshore oil production to anchor armor wires/steel tubes of an umbilical cable. In epoxy-based armor pots, this anchoring is obtained through the interaction between the resin and the tensile armors/steel tubes and also through the capstan effect from geometric variations, such as radius and lay angle changes. In this context, friction plays a fundamental role in the anchoring capacity and is mainly affected, among other factors, by the intensity of resin thermal contraction, which generates positive pressure at the contact interfaces, and also by the friction coefficient. Therefore, this works presents an extensive parametric analysis of the resin thermal contraction and of the friction coefficient performed through the finite element method with the objective of understanding their qualitative and quantitative influence at the anchoring capacity of a steel-tube umbilical armor pot. In recent years, the authors published fully three-dimensional finite element models of armor pots. In order to accomplish the present work, several enhancements were performed in the aforementioned models. The main development is an innovative methodology for the resin mesh generation, ensuring mapped elements at the interfaces with steel tubes, resulting in a smoother contact representation. At the same time, this methodology is computationally advantageous by allowing larger element sizes at the remaining resin volume without loss of quality in the representation.

Purpose Vibratory weld conditioning parameters have a great influence on the improvement of mechanical properties of weld connections. The purpose of this paper is to understand the influence of vibratory weld conditioning on the mechanical and microstructural characterization of aluminum 5052 alloy weldments. An attempt is made to understand the effect of the vibratory tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process parameters on the hardness, ultimate tensile strength and microstructure of Al 5052-H32 alloy weldments. Design/methodology/approach Aluminum 5052 H32 specimens are welded at different combinations of vibromotor voltage inputs and time of vibrations. Voltage input is varied from 50 to 230 V at an interval of 10 V. At each voltage input to the vibromotor, there are three levels of time of vibration, i.e. 80, 90 and 100 s. The vibratory TIG-welded specimens are tested for their mechanical and microstructural properties. Findings The results indicate that the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy weld connections improved by increasing voltage input up to 160 V. Also, it has been observed that by increasing vibromotor voltage input beyond 160 V, mechanical properties were reduced significantly. It is also found that vibration time has less influence on the mechanical properties of weld connections. Improvement in hardness and ultimate tensile strength of vibratory welded joints is 16 and 14%, respectively, when compared without vibration, i.e. normal weld conditions. Average grain size is measured as per ASTM E 112–96. Average grain size is in the case of 0, 120, 160 and 230 is 20.709, 17.99, 16.57 and 20.8086 µm, respectively. Originality/value Novel vibratory TIG welded joints are prepared. Mechanical and micro-structural properties are tested.

Significant Difference

The archwire is generally used in fixed appliances for orthodontic treatment to correct dental malocclusion. However, it is interesting to know whether general purpose stainless steel wire could replace commercial orthodontic archwire in orthodontic practice for economic reasons. The purpose of this study was to determine the bending properties of general purpose stainless steel wire compared with commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires after forming as an archwire for orthodontic use. The samples used in this study were 90 general purpose and 45 commercial (Highland) round stainless steel wires in 0.016, 0.018, and 0.020 sizes (30 general purpose and 15 commercial wires for each size). All 15 general purpose stainless steel wires with different sizes were formed into orthodontic archwire with a Universal Testing Machine. All samples were tested (three-point bending test) for mechanical properties. The results showed no significant difference between general purpose and commercial orthodontic wires in size 0.016 for 0.1 mm offset bending force, 0.2% yield strength, and springback. Although many mechanical properties of general purpose wires differed from commercial wires, their values conformed to other previous studies within the range of clinical acceptance. In conclusion, orthodontic formed general purpose round stainless steel wires had statistically different (p <0.05) mechanical properties from commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires (Highland) but the mechanical properties were acceptable to use in orthodontic treatment.

In this work, W-S-Ti films were deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering, using simultaneously WS2 and Ti targets. The atomic percentage of Ti in the coating was varied from 0 at.% up to 28 at.%. No significant variations in the S/W ratio with the increase of Ti content were observed. The increasing Ti contents in the films led to a gradual loss of crystallinity. Coatings with contents greater than ≈ 16 at.% only presents a broad peak characteristic of amorphous structures. Alloying the films with Ti led to significant improvements in the hardness (from 0.3 to 8.9 GPa). Also, the adhesive critical load continuously grew with the increase of the Ti content in the films. The wear coefficient of the films dropped more than one order of magnitude with the increase of Ti content whereas the friction coefficient was kept fairly constant with just a small increase in relation to single W-S film. In conclusion, to have a good tribological performance, the addition of Ti to the films should be balanced in order that the increase of the mechanical properties does not lead to severe loss of the self-lubricant properties.

The low-stress properties of PTT/wool blended fabrics were investigated by comparing with PET/wool blended fabrics. The results show that, the elongation of PTT/wool fabrics at the maximum load is higher, especially in filling wise, which means PTT/wool fabrics have better elastic. The bending hysteresis, shearing rigidity and shearing hysteresis of PTT/wool fabrics are higher than those of PET/wool fabrics, determining the fabrics having good formability. PTT/wool fabrics are easier to be compressed, and has a little higher surface friction coefficient, giving the fabrics better feeling of softness and fullness. The hand values show that PTT/wool blended fabrics are softer, and have the good bulkiness but not as good as that of PET/wool fabrics.

Abstract The effect of the morphology and the martensite volume fraction on the microhardness, the tensile, the friction and the wear behavior of API X52 dual phase (DP) steel has been investigated. Three different heat treatments were used to develop dual phase steel with different morphologies and with different amounts of martensite: Intermediate Quenching Treatment/Water (IQ); Step Quenching Treatment (SQ) and direct quenching (DQ). Tribological tests are conducted on DP steels using a ball-on-disc configuration under normal load of 5 N and at a sliding speed of 4 cm/s were used to study the friction and wear behavior of treated samples. Results show that the ferrite–martensite morphology has a great influence on the mechanical properties of dual phase steel. The steel subjected to (IQ) treatment attain superior mechanical properties compared to the SQ and the DQ treatments. On the other hand, it is also found that the friction coefficient and the wear rate (volume loss) decrease when the hardness and the martensite volume fraction increase. The steel with fine fibrous martensite provide good wear resistance.
