It will be important to forecast future the deterioration of remaining strength on corroded members for working out reasonable maintenance scenarios on steel structure. In this study, the buckling strength analyses, including future forecast, were conducted for the vertical member, which has the combined cross-section in actual aging truss bridge. For constructing the analytical model, a simple corrosion progress model was applied to generating the corroded steel surface. In this corrosion progress model, it assumes that corrosion pits are generated by the attack factors which can be decided by some control parameters for corrosion environment, corrosion form and corrosion area. And, the constant number of the attack factors per year fall all over the discretized steel surface. The corrosion surface in the future can be generated numerically by repeating mentioned above. The average thickness calculated from the numerical corrosion surface was applied to the local corrosion area in each analytical model. From these analytical results, a future forecast method applying a corrosion progress model was discussed by focusing on the aging deterioration of the buckling strength.

Context.The spectrum of the hydrogen atom was explained by Bohr more than one century ago. We revisit here some of the aspects of the underlying quantum structure, with a modern formalism, focusing on the limit of the Balmer series.Aims.We investigate the behaviour of the absorption coefficient of the isolated hydrogen atom in the neighbourhood of the Balmer limit.Methods.We analytically computed the total cross-section arising from bound-bound and bound-free transitions in the isolated hydrogen atom at the Balmer limit, and established a simplified semi-analytical model for the surroundings of that limit. We worked within the framework of the formalism of Landi Degl’Innocenti & Landolfi (2004, Astrophys. Space Sci. Lib., 307), which permits an almost straight-forward generalization of our results to other atoms and molecules, and which is perfectly suitable for including polarization phenomena in the problem.Results.We analytically show that there is no discontinuity at the Balmer limit, even though the concept of a “Balmer jump” is still meaningful. Furthermore, we give a possible definition of the location of the Balmer jump, and we check that this location is dependent on the broadening mechanisms. At the Balmer limit, we compute the cross-section in a fully analytical way.Conclusions.The Balmer jump is produced by a rapid drop of the total Balmer cross-section, yet this variation is smooth and continuous when both bound-bound and bound-free processes are taken into account, and its shape and location is dependent on the broadening mechanisms.

This paper addresses the response and stability of elastic-plastic steel tubes with square cross section under pure bending. An analytical model with sufficiently nonlinear kinematics to capture the development of ripples in the compression flange was developed. the results indicate that collapse of such tubes is imperfection sensitive for tubes with “high” height-to-thickness ratio (h/t), but the sensitivity decreases as h/t decreases. Experimentally, the tubes collapse due to a limit moment instability which is followed by the formation of a kink on the compression flange of the tubes. The limit moment and the development of the kink are captured well by the analytical model.

The constructive design of a flow field layout and the channel cross section parameters from a metallic half- or bipolar plate can have a significant influence on the performance characteristics of a fuel cell. One important aspect in the dimensioning of the channel geometry of half plates is the technical forming feasibility. In this article, first an equation is presented, which enables an analytical calculation of the channel parameters. Hereby, continuing calculations with parameter variations will be possible. Furthermore, the formability of the channel geometry of metallic half plates is evaluated through numerical and experimental investigations. Based on the results, an analytical model approach will be derived that enables an appraisal of the formability from channel cross section contours in an early development state. As a final step, the results of the numerical investigations and the analytical calculation method are compared and evaluated with the results of experimental investigations and other publications. It will be shown, that the derived analytical model approach has a good approximation compared to the effects and results from the numerical and experimental analysis. In particular, the assessment of whether a channel cross section can be manufactured safely is a result with high probability of the analytical model approach. Imprecisions happen, especially in variants with extreme geometries, for example, with very small radii or a huge channel depth. For this kind of variations, the analytical model behaves too sensitively, which makes it more difficult to estimate the damage effects. However, at an early development state, the analytical model offers a good method to get a pre-evaluation of the formability of channel cross sections with a simultaneous parameter variation possibility.

The authors have proposed an analytical model by which they can simulate the experimental results of a piping system with full circumferential 48% thinning at an elbow or two elbows. A series of elasto-plastic analyses has been carried out in order to investigate the experimental behavior of the piping system. Dynamic analyses describe the ratcheting behavior and the average amplitude of the opening-closing displacement at elbows relatively well. And then static analyses describe ratcheting and ovaling of the cross section of pipes fairy well.

The cross-sectional shape of a linear guideway has been processed before the straightening process. The cross-section features influence not only the position of the neutral axis, but also the applied and residual stresses along the longitudinal direction, especially in a multi-step straightening process. This paper aims to present an analytical model based on elasto-plastic theory and three-point reverse bending theory to predict straightening stroke and longitudinal stress distribution during the multi-step straightening process of linear guideways. The deviation of the neutral axis is first analyzed considering the asymmetrical features of the cross-section. Owing to the cyclic loading during the multi-step straightening process, the longitudinal stress curves are then calculated using the linear superposition of stresses. Based on the cross-section features and the superposition of stresses, the bending moment is corrected to improve the predictive accuracy of the multi-step straightening process. Finite element analysis, as well as straightening experiments, have been performed to verify the applicability of the analytical model. The proposed approach can be implemented in the multi-step straightening process of linear guideways with similar cross-sectional shape to improve the straightening accuracy.

Reinforced concrete shear walls are effective for resisting lateral loads imposed by wind or earthquakes. This study investigates the effectiveness of a wall fiber element in predicting the flexural nonlinear response of reinforced concrete shear walls. Model results are compared with experimental results for reinforced concrete shear walls with barbell-shaped cross sections without axial load. The analytical model is calibrated and the test measurements are processed to allow for a direct comparison of the predicted and measured flexural responses. Response results are compared at top displacements on the walls. Results obtained in the analytical model for barbell-shaped cross section wall compared favorably with experimentally responses for flexural capacity, stiffness, and deformability.
