The results of a series of experiments conducted on reinforced plastic matrix pipes show how the peak stresses, occurring in the saddle support region, can be reduced in magnitude by certain design features. Two methods are found of value: (1) to use a flexible medium, such as PVC or rubber, between the saddle and pipe, and (2) to support the pipe on a saddle with a radius greater than the pipe radius. The experimental results are compared with an analytical approach using shell theory making the assumption that the pipe material is isotropic. The agreement between the experimental and analytical results is promising.

Based on a few experimental results available in the literature, this work presents a simple analytical approach that allows the study of the long-term behaviour of CFRP-to-concrete interfaces under an initial sustaining load. Only the elastic regime is studied, which means that the interfacial maximum bond stress and maximum slip are never exceeded. Therefore, the maximum initial load to be sustained by the joints is limited by its corresponding elastic value. The analytical results provided by the proposed model are compared with some experimental results found in the literature. The results showed strain redistribution throughout the bonded length over the time.

Ochre-based pigments have been employed since the first artistic expressions of mankind, with widespread diffusion during the Roman civilization. Such prominent use influenced their technological development, focused on functional and aesthetic optimization through complex manufacturing procedures. Furthermore, their appearance is also influenced by degradation processes, sometimes driven by natural disasters such as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, in which yellow ochres of Vesuvian sites were sometimes converted to red by thermal alteration. In this contribution, a multi-analytical approach was adopted based on preliminary non-invasive investigations complemented by laboratory analyses to characterize the painted surfaces of the tablinum of the House of the Bicentenary (Herculaneum) with a particular focus on the ochre-based monochrome backgrounds. The study was aimed at (a) reconstructing the original color scheme of the walls and (b) deciphering the complex decorative techniques adopted by Roman craftsmen. The analytical results allowed testing and defining analytical procedures for the discrimination between the original and converted red pigments. Furthermore, these studies indicated that specific decorative technologies were adopted according to aesthetic, functional, and economic purposes, including the utilization of various qualities of ochre with different compositional and textural properties, and the mixture of ochre pigments with other compounds.

The wave-length of sound in gaseous and in liquid ethyl oxide (sulphuric ether) has been determined by the two first-mentioned of the authors, by means of Kundt’s method, between limits of temperature ranging from 100° C. to 200° C., and of pressure ranging from 4000 mm. to 31,000 mm. of mercury, and of volume ranging from 2·6 c. c, per gram to 71 c. c. per gram. Making use of the same apparatus throughout, the results obtained are to be regarded as comparative, and, by careful determination of the pitch of the tone transmitted through the gas, it is probable they are approximately absolute. The sections of the complete memoir deal with (I) a description of the apparatus employed, (II) the method of ascertaining the weights of ether used in each series of experiments, (III) determinations of the frequency of the vibrating rod, (IV) the calculations of the adiabatic elasticity and tables of the experimental results, and (V) a mathematical discussion of the results. The last section is due to Mr. Rose-Innes.

This paper deals with the strength and the sealing performance of pipe flange connections combining the bonding force of adhesives with the clamping force of bolts. The epoxy adhesives or anaerobic sealants are bonded at the interface partially instead of gaskets in pipe flange connections. The stress distribution in the epoxy adhesives (anaerobic sealant), which governs the sealing performance, and the variations in axial bolt force are analyzed, using an axisymmetrical theory of elasticity, when an internal pressure is applied to a connection in which two pipe flanges are clamped together by bolts and nuts with an initial clamping force after being joined by epoxy adhesives or anaerobic sealant. In addition, a method for estimating the strength of the combination connection is demonstrated. Experiments are performed and the analytical results are consistent with the experimental results concerning the variation in axial bolt force and the strength of combination connections. It can be seen that the strength of connections increases with a decrease in the bolt pitch circle diameter. Furthermore, it is seen that the sealing performance of such combination connections in which the interface is bonded partially is improved over that of pipe flange connections with metallic gaskets.

In this paper, a real microwave applicator with a wave guide used to launch the energy from the source into the cavity is analyzed using 3D TLM method. In order to investigate the influence of the positions and number of feed wave guides to the number of the resonant modes inside the cavity, obtained results are compared with analytical results and results obtained by using TLM software with an impulse excitation as well. TLM method is applied to the both empty and loaded rectangular metallic cavity, and a very good agreement between simulated and experimental results is achieved.

Silicone fluid is applied to reduce the friction of medical device in this study. Several factors, which might affect the friction of Arterial-Venous Fistula (A. V.F.) Needles, were investigated by a series of experiments. The experimental results showed that a better condition for the coating is using 10/90-weight ratio of MDX4/n-hexane silicone solution and dipping for 1.5 seconds. Two-step coating with an interval of 20 minutes also was examined to give an improvement in the lubricity of needles. It was observed that increased DC 360 concentration in coating solution displays more excellent friction reduction properties. Experimental consequences also showed that the lubricity of needles coated with DC 360 (350cst) is superior to that of coated with DC 360 (12,500cst).

An approximate model for the elastic-plastic analysis of a pipe element under combined loading is developed. The model is obtained by generalizing a limit load solution for combined pressure, bending, torsion and axial load to include strain hardening. For various combinations of loading of tubes, curvatures and twist angles are predicted and compared with experimental results and those predicted by a more rigorous analytical approach. The comparison shows that good results are obtained from the approximate model.

Supervised topic modeling has been successfully applied in the fields of document classification and tag recommendation in recent years. However, most existing models neglect the fact that topic terms have the ability to distinguish topics. In this paper, we propose a term frequency-inverse topic frequency (TF-ITF) method for constructing a supervised topic model, in which the weight of each topic term indicates the ability to distinguish topics. We conduct a series of experiments with not only the symmetric Dirichlet prior parameters but also the asymmetric Dirichlet prior parameters. Experimental results demonstrate that the result of introducing TF-ITF into a supervised topic model outperforms several state-of-the-art supervised topic models.
