Abstract Fiber breakage occurring in fiber bundles of plain-woven glass fabric composites is investigated under tension/shear biaxial cyclic stress. The experimental results show an existence of the strong effect of biaxial stress ratio on fiber breakage and its accumulation. Under pure tension (uniaxial) loading, the variation of fiber breakage ratio with respect to loading cycles is divided into two stages in the longitudinal fiber bundles. In the first stage, the fiber breakage scarcely occurs. In the final stage, fibers in a fiber bundle are broken remarkably. Under the biaxial cyclic stress, the fiber breakage in the longitudinal fiber bundle is observed in initial fatigue stage. In the case of the biaxial stress with large shear stress component, the fiber breakage is also observed in the transverse fiber bundle. The fiber breakage is accelerated by the combined stress with large shear stress component, which is called the shear constraint effect.

In certain applications, IC packages may be exposed to extreme temperatures and knowledge of thermally induced stress aids the prediction of performance degradation or failure of the IC. In the devices that are used in extreme conditions, the stress is caused mainly by the mismatch in expansion of various materials triggered by the different coefficients of thermal expansion. This work performed in this study is conducted using NMOS current mirror circuits that are cycled through a wide temperature range of −180°C to 80°C. These circuits are highly sensitive to stress and provide well-localized measurements of shear stress. The sensors are fabricated in such a way that the effects of certain stress components are isolated. These sensors are also temperature compensated so that only the effect of mechanical stress components is observed and changes in device performance due to temperature changes are minimal. Current readings obtained from the sensors are used to extract the shear stress component. Finite element simulations, using expected materials performance parameter information were also performed for similar packages and these results are compared to the measured results.

Lower Boundary Condition

AbstractSurface friction contributes to tornado formation and maintenance by enhancing the convergence of angular momentum. The traditional lower boundary condition in atmospheric models typically assumes an instant equilibrium between the unresolved stress and the resolved shear. This assumption ignores the physics that turbulent motions are generated and dissipated at finite rates—in effect, turbulence has a memory through its lifetime. In this work, a modified lower boundary condition is proposed to account for the effect of turbulence memory. Specifically, when an air parcel moves along a curved trajectory, a normal surface-shear-stress component arises owing to turbulence memory. In the accompanying large-eddy simulation (LES) of idealized tornadoes, the normal surface-shear-stress component is a source of additional dynamic instability, which provides an extra pathway for the development of turbulent motions. The influence of turbulence memory on the intensity of quasi-steady-state tornadoes remains negligible as long as assumptions employed by the modified lower boundary condition hold over a relatively large fraction of the flow region of interest. However, tornadoes in a transient state may be especially sensitive to turbulence memory.Significance StatementFriction between the wind and the ground can influence atmospheric phenomena in important ways. For example, surface friction can be a significant source of rotation in some thunderstorms, and it can also help to intensify rotation when rotation is already present. Unfortunately, the representation of friction’s effects in atmospheric simulations is especially error-prone in phenomena characterized by rapid temporal evolution or strong spatial variations. Our work explores a new framework for representing friction to include the effect of the so-called turbulence memory. The approach is tested in idealized tornado simulations, but it may be applied to a wide range of atmospheric vortices.

AbstractOne element that is essential to consider in underground mining engineering applications is the possibility of pillar failure, which can result in deadly geological disasters, including earthquakes and surface subsidence. Pillars are commonly present under an inclined state and are significantly dependent upon combined compression and shear loading. However, many scholars regard the pure uniaxial compression strength (UCS) of rock as the main evaluation index of pillar strength, which is inconsistent with the field practice. Hence, the present study developed a novel combined compression and shear test (C-CAST) system, which was applied in the investigative acoustic emission (AE) experiments to characterize the failure mechanism and micro-fracture behavior of granite specimens at different inclination angles. The experimental results presented the exponential decrease of UCS of inclined specimens with increase in the shear stress component. Changes in the inclination angle with a range of 0°–10° produced a splitting-shear failure fracture mode from the initial splitting failure. In comparison, an increase in the inclination angle from 10° to 20° produced a single shear failure fracture mode from the initial combined splitting-shear failure. The specimens exhibited nonlinearly reduced microcrack initiation (CI) and damage (CD) thresholds following an increase in the inclination angle, suggesting the dependence of the microcrack initiation and propagation on the shear stress component. The ratio of CI and CD thresholds to inclined UCS varies within a certain range, indicating that the ratio may be an inherent property of granite specimens and is not affected by external load conditions. Additionally, the rock fracture behavior was largely dependent upon the mechanism of shear stress component, as validated by the microcrack initiation and growth. Finally, a modified empirical formula for pillar strength is proposed to investigate the actual strength of inclined pillar. Results of a case study show that the modified formula can be better used to evaluate the stability of inclined pillars.

S Curve

Fatigue tests on a plain woven glass composite at room temperature under biaxial (tension/torsion) loading were conducted. Nonlinear stress-strain (S-S) response especially in shear, was found and focused. Under pulsating shear stress loading, the S-S relation during loading periods became linear just before final failure, while the unloading S-S curve kept its nonlinear relation. According to the cyclic stress profile, the S-S curve was much affected and changed. It was found that preferential cracks due to the shear stress component occurred and might affect the fatigue failure as well as the nonlinear stress-strain response.

The Relationship

Abstract The off-axis tensile strength (OATS) of copy paper, filter paper, and sack paper was obtained from dog-bone specimens. The relationship between OATS and the off-axis angle (OAA) was predicted under several failure conditions. Additionally, the shear strengths (SS) of these papers were evaluated based on the results of OAT tests. The OATS could be accurately predicted under several Hill-type failure conditions. An equation for deriving the in-plane SS of these papers was proposed based on the tensile strength of the specimen with a 35° OAA, in which the contribution of the shear stress component was maximum.

Wall Shear

Turbulent boundary-layer fluctuations in the incompressive domain are expressed in terms of fluctuating velocity-product 'sources’ in order to elucidate relative characteristics of fluctuating wall-shear stress and pressure in the subconvective range of streamwise wavenumbers. Appropriate viscous wall conditions are applied, and results are obtained to lowest order in this Strouhal-scaled wavenumber which serves as the expansion parameter. The spectral amplitudes of pressure and of the shear stress component directed along the wavevector both contain additive terms proportional to source integrals with exponential wall-distance weighting characteristic respectively of the irrotational and the rotational fields. At low wavenumbers, barring unexpected relative smallness of the pertinent boundary-layer source term, the rotational terms become dominant. There the wall pressure and shear-stress component have spectra that approach the same non-vanishing, wavevector-white but generally viscous-scale-dependent level and are totally coherent with phase difference ½π. The other, irrotational contributions to the shear-stress and pressure amplitudes likewise bear a simple and previously known, generally wavevector– and frequency-dependent, ratio to one another. In an inviscid limit this contribution to the pressure amplitude reduces to the one obtained previously from inviscid treatments. A representative class of models is introduced for the source spectrum, and the resulting rotational contribution to the spectral density of wall pressure and K-aligned shear stress at low (but incompressive) wavenumbers is estimated. It is suggested that this contribution may predominate and account for measured low-wavenumber levels of wall pressure.

Dupuytren's Contracture is a nodular proliferation of the longitudinal fiber bundles of palmar fascia with its attendant contraction. The factors attributed to its etiology have included trauma, diabetes, alcoholism, arthritis, and auto-immune disease. The tissue has been observed by electron microscopy and found to contain myofibroblasts.Dupuytren's Contracture constitutes a scar, and as such, excessive collagen can be observed, along with an active form of fibroblast.Previous studies of the hypertrophic scar have led us to propose that integral in the initiation and sustenance of scar tissue is a profusion of microvascular regeneration, much of which becomes and remains occluded producing a hypoxia which stimulates fibroblast synthesis. Thus, when considering a study of Dupuytren's Contracture, we predicted finding occluded microvessels at or near the fascial scarring focus.Three cases of Dupuytren's Contracture yielded similar specimens, which were fixed in Karnovskys fluid for 2 to 20 days. Upon removal of the contracture bands care was taken to include the contiguous fatty and areolar tissue which contain the vascular supply and to identify the junctional area between old and new fascia.

Abstract Background For the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), a three-fiber bundle has recently been suggested to be weaker than a single or double fiber bundle in terms of ankle plantarflexion and inversion braking function. However, the studies leading to those results all used elderly specimens. Whether the difference in fiber bundles is a congenital or an acquired morphology is important when considering methods to prevent ATFL damage. The purpose of this study was to classify the number of fiber bundles in the ATFL of fetuses. Methods This study was conducted using 30 legs from 15 Japanese fetuses (mean weight, 1764.6 ± 616.9 g; mean crown-rump length, 283.5 ± 38.7 mm; 8 males, 7 females). The ATFL was then classified by the number of fiber bundles: Type I, one fiber bundle; Type II, two fiber bundles; and Type III, three fiber bundles. Results Ligament type was Type I in 5 legs (16.7%), Type II in 21 legs (70%), and Type III in 4 legs (13.3%). Conclusions The present results suggest that the three fiber bundles of the structure of the ATFL may be an innate structure.
