The paper examines the effect of some operational factors on the cyclical crack resistance of the beam with an inner transverse crack of the circular shape. The beam with the cross-section of an uneven I-beam joist is positioned on a solid elastic foundation and is subjected to repeated loading by concentrated force. The temperature dependence of the number of loading cycles required for the defect to grow to a given size is established. In addition, on the basis of the principle of the independence of the forces, the residual resource of the beam is assessed in the case of an arbitrary system of forces. The proposed calculation scheme is used to assess the durability of rails.

The article considers the beam on a solid elastic foundation with an internal transverse crack of circular shape. The cross-section of the beam has the form of an uneven I-beam joist. The beam is exposed to multiple effects of concentrated force. The proposed calculation scheme is aimed at determining the cyclical strength of the railway rails and specifying the inspection interval. The kinetic equation of crack growth has been obtained and the allowable number of cycles has been specified. The critical load with a single static impact is also assessed. The results are compared with the available experimental data.

During acoustic fish stock assessment surveys, it is often desirable to measure the distribution of the acoustic scattering cross-section of single fish. One of the problems in such measurements is that a threshold in the electronic circuitry discriminates against small fish. This effect is analyzed in detail, and an expression is derived for the threshold-induced bias in the mean scattering cross-section estimate. Results are plotted for a typical set of operating conditions.

Stress guided waves in the sonic and ultrasonic regime are acknowledged as a powerful too lto inspect pipes in a non-invasive manner.A key point of the inspection procedure is related to the dispersive behavior of guided waves, that for agiven pipe is defined by the so-called dispersion curves. Such behavior, is generally predicted bymeans ofanalytical formulations. However, when the geometry of the pipe cross-section is not axially symmetric,such as in the presence of an open internal crack running along the pipe length, analytical formulations fail. Here, the computation of the guided waves properties for such a scenario is addressed via a SemiAnalytical Finite Element (SAFE) formulation in which the open crack is modeled at the mesh level.Different crack depths are considered and their effect on the waves dispersion curves are highlighted.The results could be of interest in pipeline inspection and monitoring.

Abstract The thermal stability parameter is an important parameter for predicting the lifespan of structures. In this paper, a two-dimensional transient heat transfer model of machine gun barrels undergoing continuous firing developed and analyzed for different geometries and thermal properties. The model for the transient thermal analysis is based on the forced convection heat transfer at the inner surface of the gun barrel. Finite element simulations were performed to predict the interior and exterior barrel temperature profiles and temperature contours after continuous firing process. The incomplete Cholesky Conjugate Gradient (ICCG) solver was adopted in solving unsymmetrical thermal transient analyses. The material thermal behavior studied for the basic circular cross section of gun barrels showed that the lowest inner wall temperature was for high rounds was achieved in steel barrels due to the rapid conducted and convective heat transfer to the environment. While the highest inner wall temperature was recorded for ceramic STK4 barrels and an increase of inner wall temperature by 17% was observed as compared to the typical case of circular cross section steel barrel. In general, a higher inner temperature in the gun barrel is undesirable and harm due to the possibility of reaching the cook-off scenario at earlier rounds. Results concluded that non-circular geometries with constrained cross section areas of typical case improve thermal management and the hexagonal geometry had the best thermal management and could provide more rounds for users. In addition, titanium barrels would have a weight drop of 41% while the overall barrel’s temperature increases by 49%.
