In engineering, cracks are typically regarded as defects due to enormous stress amplification at tip of the crack. Conversely, scorpion ingeniously utilizes the “risky” near-tip stress field of a crack-shaped slit to accurately detect weak vibration signal without causing catastrophic crack propagation from the slit tip. The present paper focuses on the balance strategy between structural safety and sensing accuracy of slit-based mechanical sensilla. We performed a detailed structural and mechanical property study of tissue around the slit wake utilizing a complementary combination of various experimental methods. The results indicate that there is a special thin surface membrane covering the slit wake and the elastic moduli of the membrane and exoskeleton are 0.562 GPa and 5.829 GPa, respectively. In addition, the ratio of bending stiffness between exoskeleton and membrane tissue is about 8 × 104. The theoretical and simulation analysis show that the surface membrane—with appropriate elastic modulus and bending stiffness—can achieve different forms of deformation with the change of slit width for protecting the mechanosensory structure without sacrificing the sensing accuracy. This finding offers a crucial theoretical basis for the further design of bionic mechanical sensors based on the near-tip stress field of artificial cracks.

The distribution of residual stress in hot rolled large size H-beams is complex due to the uneven temperature distribution on the final rolling cross-sections. In this paper, 3D simulation analysis is conducted on the residual stress field of cooled large H-beams and the transformation of residual stress field during the flange cutting based on the calculations of thermo-mechanical coupling whole rolling process. There are tensile stress in the flange and web connection areas and compressive stress in web. During the flange cutting process, tensile stress increases suddenly when the kerf arrives at the flange and web connection area, resulting in the brittle fracture of the web. The method of controlling the residual stress of large H-beams is also simulated. Improvement in the distribution of residual stress is achieved through the forced cooling of the outside flange or reduction of the temperature differences on the final rolling cross-sections.

The problem of two penny-shaped crazes formed at the top and the bottom poles of a spherical inhomogeneity has been investigated. The inhomogeneity is embedded in an infinitely extended elastic body which is under uniaxial tension. Both the inhomogeneity and the matrix are isotropic but have different elastic moduli. The analysis is based on the superposition principle of the elasticity theory and Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion method. The stress field inside the inhomogeneity and the stress intensity factor on the boundary of the craze are evaluated in the form of a series which involves the ratio of the radius of the penny-shaped craze to the radius of the spherical inhomogeneity. Numerical examples show the interaction between the craze and the inhomogeneity is strongly affected by the elastic properties of the inhomogeneity and the matrix. The conclusion deduced from the numerical results is in good agreement with experimental results given in the literature.

Damage identification and health monitoring is an important aspect in the evaluation of structural safety recently. This paper presents a modal experiment and analysis of a 2×2 bay (6.128m×6.128m) 1 storey (1.4m) RC flat plate frame structure on rigid foundation. The displacement mode experiments were carried out by hammer-hitting excitation method in the age of frame concrete. The varieties of the modal parameters of the flat plate were obtained by dynamic testing along with the growth of elastic modulus of concrete and change of the environment temperature. it can be used to identify the location and form of the damage. Base on the missing of some specific structure modal shapes and reduction of the frame horizontal stiffness, it can be revealed that the interior slab-column connection cannot transfer the unbalance moment well. Further more, modal parameters of the RC flat plate with the interior column removed had been exhibited and discussed. A 3-D solid finite element models with the interior column fixed/hinged were constructed, they were validated to match the frame natural frequencies and mode shapes. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of modal parameters identification method in estimate the damage of column in RC flat plate frame. Additionally, the dynamic modulus of elastic is obtained by the comparison of experimental test and FEM simulation analysis.

There are different blasting stress field which around the blast hole caused by different charge when explosives exploded in the rock. Simulation analysis on borehole wall pressure and explosion stress field of rock at different charging structure was done by ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The simulation results indicate: stress of coupling charge is the maximum, water-decouple charge is the latter and air-decouple charge is the minimum; and whether air-decouple or water-decouple charge, peak stress value of model decreased along with the increasing of decouple coefficient, but the air-decouple charge show more obvious. Therefore, water-decouple blasting has good energy utilization.

Abstract This paper describes a numerical analysis supported by small scale experiments for demonstrating a monitoring and leak detection methodology. This study can be used to build a full-scale water pipeline monitoring and response system. The monitoring system is able to monitor the pipeline health and respond to hazard conditions through the use of multiple sensors driven by a hybrid rule-based and statistical monitoring control strategy. The system is programmed to automatically shut off its pump in the event of out-of-bounds/out-of-statistical control conditions detected by its sensors. In addition, this paper presents a numerical simulation analysis approach supported by an experiment that aims at finding a relationship between the location and size of an induced leak and the reported sensor data. The obtained results are used to inform a probabilistic model that can be used to estimate the leak location and size based on flow rate variations. The proposed project will enhance remote pipeline monitoring and structural safety by offering real-time data and automatic emergency response capabilities.
