<p>For a better estimation of the fatigue lifetime of real structures, tests on large-scale beam specimens are more suitable than on common cylindrical specimens, since effects like local stiffness changes and stress redistributions can be reproduced more realistically. This article presents an experimental setup for large-scale concrete beams subjected to fatigue loading. Additionally, the fatigue tests are simulated with a numerical model. The results of the numerical analysis show a successively increasing damage propagating from the edge into the inner part of the cross-section in the mid span with increasing number of cycles. This results in stress redistributions which extend the lifetime of the structure. The evaluation of the experimental investigation on the first beam specimen shows a larger stiffness degradation at the upper edge than in the centre of the cross-section as well as increasing strains at this location. This matches the expected effects from the numerical analysis.</p>

Profiled Fibers

AbstractOne of the critical prerequisites for accurately measuring the mechanical properties of profiled fibers is the precise determination of their cross-sectional areas (CSAs). In this study, a new method is established for determining a single profiled fibers’ CSA based on the frozen section method and digital photo, pixel-ratio method (FS-DP). FS-DP is used to obtain a transverse section of a fiber, by acquiring an image of the cross section using optical microscopy or scanning electron microscopy, and then calculating the CSA using Photoshop. Using FS-DP, it was found that the shape of a fiber of silk changes little in a range of 50 μm, but varies considerably over a range of 1 m, while the CSA of cocoon silk (900 m) first increases and then decreases. Mechanical property tests showed that the elongation, strength, elastic modulus, and toughness values of the cocoon silk are consistent with those reported previously. Additionally, FS-DP was also used to observe other profiled fibers. The application tests indicated that FS-DP can be used to quickly and accurately obtain the CSA of a single profiled fiber, and that it is suitable for the large-scale determination and analysis of the mechanical properties of profiled fibers.

Abstract Basite magmatism has been manifested repeatedly for a long time in various geodynamic structures within the eastern part of the Siberian platform. In the Middle Paleozoic, it was related to rifting processes, and in the Late Paleozoic-Early Mesozoic – to the initiation and development of trap syneclises. Differences of the geodynamic regime of magma formation are displayed in the material composition of rocks. This report presents a generalizing study of the petro-geochemical features of the tholeiitic basaltic melts formed in different geodynamic settings. The initial magmas composition changes significantly at different stages of the magmatic system development. Using multicomponent analysis, we reviewed the impact of the fractionation processes of the basal melt, which occurred under various PT conditions, on its material composition. Among the trapp bodies there are powerful differentiated intrusions. A significant change of the composition occurs during the intra-chamber differentiation of the melt in a sequence of rock strata varied from the basic magnesian to felsic alkaline rocks. In the resulting series of rocks, the content of rare elements included in the lattice of the early femic phases decreases, as well as the accumulation of almost all incompatible elements. The evolution of melts of normal alkalinity occurs with an increase of REE content and their insignificant separation. Intrusions that have undergone the stage of high-pressure fractionation in the deep transitional chamber are of particular importance. As a result of such differentiation, a peculiar group of rocks is formed in the cross section of the Middle Paleozoic bodies, such as monzonite-porphyries in one case and anorthosite gabbro-dolerites - in the other. . It is established that the monzoitoid type of differentiation is characterized by accumulation of LREE, LILE and elements of the zirconium group Nb, Ta, Hf and Y. Isolation of anorthosite gabbro-dolerites in the cross-section of bodies, as well as an increase in the content of aluminum, calcium, and strontium in them, is an indication of the anorthositic tendency of magmatic melt differentiation/When the basite-tholeiite melt interacts with the mantle reducing fluid in the deep core, its metallization occurs with the release of drop-liquid separations of native iron up to the formation of its large segregations. Intrusions with a large-scale content of native iron are found among the trap formations of Siberia. All this leads to a decrease in the total concentration and activity of iron in the partially metallized silicate matrix, there is a significant increase in the content of MgO and trace elements-Ni, Co, Cr. The Fe-phase-containing intrusives are characterized by minimal LILE, HFSE, and REE contents. Start your abstract here… 250 to 500 words concise and factual abstract is required.

The smoke characteristics of tunnel fire are preliminarily concerned with the heat release, the tunnel geometry, smoke outlet geometry, etc. However, the study on smoke characteristics of tunnel fire with different cross passage interval is relatively less at present. Base on the physical model of a large scale cross-section road tunnel, this paper carried out simulation and analysis on the smoke flow of several fire scenarios under different cross passage interval through FDS 5.4.3. The results demonstrated that in a certain extent while the cross passage interval was less than 400m, the longer the cross passage interval was, the longer the time when the smoke began to counter flow in the tunnel and the longer the length of counter-flow smoke. If the cross passage interval was beyond this scope, the time that the smoke began to counter flow and the length of counter-flow smoke tended respectively to be the same.

Relative Permeability Curves

Several authors have described the use of pseudo-relative-permeability curves for modeling pseudo-relative-permeability curves for modeling the vertical performance of formation flow in areal reservoir simulators. The pseudo curves are usually determined from small cross-section or three-dimension models and then incorporated into large-scale areal models. The concept of pseudo-relative permeability can also be extended to the vertical performance of individual wells by a technique analogous to that for formation flow. In a cross-section model, the production of phase p from a well with nc completions can be expressed as(1) Eq. 1 follows the form of the well potential equation of Ref. 4. For an areal model in which the well has only one completion, the production is(2) The cross-section model can be constructed with the vertical detail necessary to account for phase segregation, partial penetration, etc. To obtain the same well performance in the areal model, we desire(3) or combining Eqs. 1 through 3,(4) If the cross-section model has been divided into nl layers, then an areal model block represents a composite of the nl layers and a well a composite of nc completions. Therefore, the following approximations are made.(5) and(6) Combining Eq. 4 through 6, the pseudo-relative permeability for the areal model well is obtained: permeability for the areal model well is obtained:(7) The corresponding saturation is(8) The wellbore pressure in the areal model, PwA, can be assumed to be an appropriate average of the Pw calculated in the cross-section model. Eqs. 6 Pw calculated in the cross-section model. Eqs. 6 and 8 am appropriate for an areal block equivalent to one column of the vertical model. If the areal block is larger, then the pressure and saturation must be averaged over the volume encompassed by the areal block. P. 7

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.

The energy distribution in an electron; beam from an electron gun provided with a biased Wehnelt cylinder was measured by a retarding potential analyser. All the measurements were carried out with a beam of small angular divergence (<3xl0-4 rad) to eliminate the apparent increase of energy width as pointed out by Ichinokawa.The cross section of the beam from a gun with a tungsten hairpin cathode varies as shown in Fig.1a with the bias voltage Vg. The central part of the beam was analysed. An example of the integral curve as well as the energy spectrum is shown in Fig.2. The integral width of the spectrum ΔEi varies with Vg as shown in Fig.1b The width ΔEi is smaller than the Maxwellian width near the cut-off. As |Vg| is decreased, ΔEi increases beyond the Maxwellian width, reaches a maximum and then decreases. Note that the cross section of the beam enlarges with decreasing |Vg|.

The work of multilayer glass structures for central and eccentric compression and bending are considered. The substantiation of the chosen research topic is made. The description and features of laminated glass for the structures investigated, their characteristics are presented. The analysis of the results obtained when testing for compression, compression with bending, simple bending of models of columns, beams, samples of laminated glass was made. Overview of the types and nature of destruction of the models are presented, diagrams of material operation are constructed, average values of the resistance of the cross-sections of samples are obtained, the table of destructive loads is generated. The need for development of a set of rules and guidelines for the design of glass structures, including laminated glass, for bearing elements, as well as standards for testing, rules for assessing the strength, stiffness, crack resistance and methods for determining the strength of control samples is emphasized. It is established that the strength properties of glass depend on the type of applied load and vary widely, and significantly lower than the corresponding normative values of the strength of heat-strengthened glass. The effect of the connecting polymeric material and manufacturing technology of laminated glass on the strength of the structure is also shown. The experimental values of the elastic modulus are different in different directions of the cross section and in the direction perpendicular to the glass layers are two times less than along the glass layers.
