Efficient and accurate finite element (FE) modelling of bolted joints is essential for increasing confidence in the investigation of structural vibrations. However, modelling of bolted joints for the investigation is often found to be very challenging. This paper proposes an appropriate FE representation of bolted joints for the prediction of the dynamic behaviour of a bolted joint structure. Two different FE models of the bolted joint structure with two different FE element connectors, which are CBEAM and CBUSH, representing the bolted joints are developed. Modal updating is used to correlate the two FE models with the experimental model. The dynamic behaviour of the two FE models is compared with experimental modal analysis to evaluate and determine the most appropriate FE model of the bolted joint structure. The comparison reveals that the CBUSH element connectors based FE model has a greater capability in representing the bolted joints with 86 percent accuracy and greater efficiency in updating the model parameters. The proposed modelling technique will be useful in the modelling of a complex structure with a large number of bolted joints.

A computational model and the results of numerical studies of the structure of a platform joint in a reinforced concrete precast-monolithic frame of a building from panel-frame elements of industrial production are presented. Modeling of the plane stress state of the joint structure is carried out by a finite element scheme, using finite elements of different types and a nonlinear law of deformation to determine the design characteristics of reinforced concrete. The parameters of deformation of the platform joint structure at different loading levels, including stage-by-stage cracking and destruction, have been determined. The schemes of distribution and stress concentration zones in the characteristic sections of the platform joint are established when the distributed load is transferred from the frame of the panel-frame to the hollow-core floor panels and concrete for embedding the joint in the presence of a cavity in the frame frame for centering elements.

Riser Pipe

Four different riser pipe exit configurations were modelled and the flow across them analysed using STAR CCM+ CFD codes. The analysis was limited to exit configurations because of the length to diameter ratio of riser pipes and the limitations of CFD codes available. Two phase flow analysis of the flow through each of the exit configurations was attempted. The various parameters required for detailed study of the flow were computed. The maximum velocity within the pipe in a two phase flow were determined to 3.42 m/s for an 8 (eight) inch riser pipe. After thorough analysis of the two phase flow regime in each of the individual exit configurations, the third and the fourth exit configurations were seen to have flow properties that ensures easy flow within the production system as well as ensure lower computational cost. Convergence (Iterations), total pressure, static pressure, velocity and pressure drop were used as criteria matrix for selecting ideal riser exit geometry, and the third exit geometry was adjudged the ideal exit geometry of all the geometries. The flow in the third riser exit configuration was modelled as a two phase flow. From the results of the two phase flow analysis, it was concluded that the third riser configuration be used in industrial applications to ensure free flow of crude oil and gas from the oil well during oil production.

AbstractThis paper presents experimental studies on the optimization of air–water flow in an airlift pump. Airlift pumps use compressed gas to verticall transport liquids and slurries. Due to the lack of theoretical equations for designing and predicting flow regimes, experimental investigations must be carried out to find the best condition to operate an airlift pump at high efficiency. We used a new air injection system and different submergence ratios to evaluate the output of a simple pump for vertical displacement of water in an underground mine. The tests were carried out in a new device with 5.64 m height and 10.2 cm circular riser pipe. Three air-jacket pipes, at different gas flows in the range of 0.002–0.09 m3/s were investigated with eight submergence ratios. It was found that with the same air flow rate, the most efficient flow of water was achieved when an air jacket with 3 mm diameter holes was used with a submergence ratio between 0.6 and 0.75. In addition, a comparison of practical results with two theoretical models proposed by other investigators showed that neither was able to accurately predict airlift performance in air–water flow mode.

Friction stir forming (FSF) is a new environmentally friendly manufacturing process for lap joining of dissimilar materials. Fundamentally, this process is based on frictionally heating and mechanically stirring work material of the top piece in a plasticized state to form a mechanical interlocking joint within the bottom material. In this research, the significant process parameters were identified and optimized for Al 6014 alloy and mild steel using a design of experiments (DOE) methodology. The overall joint structure and grain microstructure were mapped as the FSF process progressed and the aluminum work material deformed through different stages. It was found that the work material within the joint exhibited two layers, thermomechanical affected zone, which formed due to the contact pressure and angular momentum of the tool, and heat affected formation zone, which was composed of work material formed through the hole in the steel sheet and into the anvil cavity. Two different geometries of anvil design were employed to investigate geometrical effects during FSF of the aluminum. It was found that the direction and amount of work material deformation under the tool varies from the center to the shoulder.

Therapy Treatment

Orthoses are devices that are applied externally to help in the rehabilitation of specific bones or joints. Dr Shuichi Sasaki, Department of Rehabilitation, Kitasato University Hospital, Japan, and his team is working to develop a new orthosis for repatriating thumb arthropathies called the Kitasato thumb splint. It is designed to improve usability of the thumb joint, especially in cases of thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthropathy, by taking into consideration the thumb CMC joint structure. It exerts force at the base of the CMC joint to move the thumb into the correct joint alignment, improving symptoms for patients. With the Kitasato thumb splint, Sasaki and the team are also eager to provide patients with an alternative to surgery as they believe that the use of more conservative measures with orthoses can prove effective and also prevent costly surgery. The Kitasato thumb splint is made of a low-temperature thermoplastic knit material and can be assembled in as little as 10 minutes, quickly and conveniently providing patients with additional support during painful daily tasks. In his work, Sasaki and the team are looking at orthoses used to treat thumb CMC osteoarthritis and analysing the pressure on CMC joints using quantitative analysis. So far, the Kitasato thumb splint has been found to help in pain reduction and improvements in the activities of daily living in patients with mild cases (Eaton Classifications I to II) of thumb CMC joints and to also provide some improvement in severe cases (Eaton Classifications III-IV).
