The Mean

Based on the classical Alexander solution for the axial collapse of bare metal tubes, a theoretical model is presented to predict the mean crushing force of arbitrarily fibre-reinforced metal tubes with a ring collapse mode. The derived mean crushing force and length of the local folding wave are more reasonable and are in better agreement with the experiments than previously obtained. The effect of wrapping direction of the reinforcing fibres is studied. This model for predicting the static mean crushing force can be extended for the dynamic mean crushing force of fibre-reinforced metal tubes under axial impact load.

Thin-walled tubes are widely used as energy absorption devices in automobiles, designed to protect the costly structures and people inside during an impact event through plastic deformation. They show excellent performance under axial loading in terms of weight efficiency, stroke distance and total energy absorption, but also have the disadvantage that the crushing force is not uniform during deformation process, especially with the existence of a high initial peak force. Recently, pattern design on tubular structures has received increasing attention. It has been found that, if the surface of a tube is pre-folded according to an origami pattern, the collapse mode of the tube can be altered, leading to changes in energy absorption performance. In this paper, we present a series of origami patterned tubes with a kite-shape pattern that is constructed by joining two pieces of Miura-ori. First of all, the geometry of the pattern is presented. We develop a theoretical model to predict the energy absorption associated with the axial crushing of the patterned tubes and derive a mathematical formula to calculate the mean crushing force accordingly. Secondly, a family of origami tubes with various profiles are designed, and their performances subjected to quasi-static axial crushing are numerically investigated. A parametric study is also conducted to establish the relationship between the pre-folded angle of the pattern and the initial peak force as well as the mean crushing force. Numerical results show that introducing patterns to thin-walled tubes offers three advantages in comparison with conventional tubes, i.e., a lower initial peak force, a more uniform crushing load, and a stable and repeatable collapse mode. A 36.0% increase in specific energy absorption and 67.2% reduction in initial peak force is achieved in the optimum case. The new origami patterned tubes show great promise as energy absorption devices.

In this paper, an analytical prediction and numerical simulation of the behavior of square crash box structures having hole at corners on dynamic axial crushing are studied. The focus of the present theoretical prediction is to calculate the mean crushing force and maximum crushing force during the folding process subjected to axial impact loading. Then, the effect of hole size to the crushing response of square crash box structures was also evaluated. For validation, an explicit non-linear commercial finite element code LS-DYNA was used to predict the response of the structures subjected to axial crushing. It was found that results of numerical method and theoretical prediction were in good agreement. The results showed that, by inserting holes at corners, the folding can be controlled to be always started from the hole, and peak crush load on the first fold can be reduced significantly. Meanwhile, the decreasing of mean crushing force is insignificant compared to the one without holes. Hence, the characteristic of impact energy absorption in a progressive buckling can be improved, the damage in passenger compartment can be minimized, and the deceleration level can be kept in safe level to prevent injury of the passenger.

AbstractSelf-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) were used to enhance the dissolution rate of furosemide as a model for class IV drugs and the system was solidified into liquisolid tablets. SNEDDS of furosemide contained 10% Castor oil, 60% Cremophor EL, and 30% PEG 400. The mean droplets size was 17.9 ± 4.5 nm. The theoretical model was used to calculate the amounts of the carrier (Avicel PH101) and coating materials (Aerosil 200) to prepare liquisolid powder. Carrier/coating materials ratio of 5/1 was used and Ludipress was added to the solid system, thus tablets with hardness of 45 ± 2 N were obtained. Liquisolid tablets showed 2-folds increase in drug release as compared to the generic tablets after 60 min in HCl 0.1 N using USP apparatus-II. Furosemide loaded SNEDDS tablets have great prospects for further in vivo studies, and the theoretical model is useful for calculating the adequate amounts of adsorbents required to solidify these systems.

AbstractIn this paper, the dynamic buckling of an elastic cylindrical shell subjected to an axial impact load is analyzed in Hamiltonian system. By employing a symplectic method, the traditional governing equations are transformed into Hamiltonian canonical equations in dual variables. In this system, the critical load and buckling mode are reduced to solving symplectic eigenvalues and eigensolutions respectively. The result shows that the critical load relates with boundary conditions, thickness of the shell and radial inertia force. And the corresponding buckling modes present some local shapes. Besides, the process of dynamic buckling is related to the stress wave, the critical load and buckling mode depend upon the impacted time. This paper gives analytically and numerically some new rules of the buckling problem, which is useful for designing shell structures.

The Impact

Stick-slip vibration reduces the drilling rate of penetration, causes early wear of bits, and threatens the safety of downhole tools. Therefore, it is necessary to study suppression methods of stick-slip vibration to achieve efficient and safe drilling. Field tests show that the use of downhole axial impactors is helpful to mitigate stick-slip vibration and improve rock-breaking efficiency. However, there are many deficiencies in the study of how axial impact load affects stick-slip vibration of a PDC bit. In this paper, based on the two-degrees-of-freedom spring-mass-damper model and similarity theory, a laboratory experiment device for suppressing stick-slip vibration of a PDC bit under axial impact load has been developed, and systematic experimental research has been carried out. The results show that the axial impact force can suppress the stick-slip vibration by reducing the amplitude of weight on bit and torque fluctuations and by increasing the main frequency of torque. The amplitude of impact force affects the choice of the optimal back-rake angle. The impact frequency is negatively correlated with the fluctuation amplitude of the rotary speed. When the impact frequency is greater than 100 Hz, the fluctuation amplitude of the rotary speed will not decrease.

Abstract A simple model of behaviour of a single particle on the bulging membrane was presented. As a result of numerical solution of a motion equation the influence of the amplitude and frequency of bulging as well as the particle size on particle behaviour, especially its downstream velocity was investigated. It was found that the bulging of a membrane may increase the mean velocity of a particle or reinforce its diffusive behaviour, dependeing on the permeation velocity. The obtained results may help to design new production methods of highly fouling-resistant membranes.

The dynamic loads acting on concrete-filled steel tubular members under axial impacts by rigid bodies were studied herein by FEM. The whole impact process was simulated and the time history of the impact load was obtained. The effects of eight factors on the axial impact load were studied; these factors were the impact speed, mass ratio, axial pressure ratio, steel ratio, slenderness ratio, concrete strength, impact position, and boundary conditions. Besides this, the effects of concrete creep on the impact load were also considered by changing the material parameters of the concrete. The results show that axial impact load changes with time as a triangle. The peak value of impact load increases and the impact resistance improves with the growth of the axial pressure ratio, steel ratio, slenderness ratio, and concrete strength after creep occurs. As the eccentricity of the axial impact acting on a concrete-filled steel tubular member increases, the peak value of the impact load decreases. The enhancement of constraints at both ends of the member can improve the impact resistance. The creep reduction coefficients for the peak axial impact load of a concrete-filled steel tubular member under axial compression and considering the creep effect over 6 months and 30 years are 0.60 and 0.55, respectively. A calculation formula for the peak value of impact load was suggested based on the existing formula, and its accuracy was proved by finite element calculation in this study.
