The Impact

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes have been extensively applied in water supply network fields. Understanding the mechanical properties and burst pressure of PVC pipes is necessary because a large number of pipes rupture due to excessive internal water pressure. In this paper, a practical approach based on the average shear stress yield (ASSY) criterion was proposed to assess the PVC pipe burst pressure. In addition, the PVC uniaxial tensile tests and the pipe burst tests were carried out to determine the material characteristic parameters and burst pressure of the PVC pipe. Furthermore, a finite element analysis (FEA) of PVC burst pressure was also performed based on the tangent intersection (TI) method to validate the proposed method and experimental results. Moreover, the impact of material parameters and pipe size, such as the strain hardening exponent and standard dimension ratio (SDR) on bursting pressure, were investigated. The comparison with the proposed theoretical model and the experimental and FEA results shows that the burst pressure derived from ASSY was consistent with the experimental data, with a relative error ranging from −2.76% to 2.65%, which is more accurate compared to other yield criteria. The burst pressure obtained by the ASSY approach declined with the increase of the hardening exponent n and increased with the increase of SDR. Therefore, the burst pressure solution-based ASSY proposed in this paper is an adequately suitable and precise predictive tool for assessing the failure pressure of PVC pipes.

Induced Pluripotent

In a suspension culture of iPS cells, the shear stress generated during mixing is expected to promote differentiation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The stress on the cells can be controlled by rotational rate and shape of impeller. However, it is difficult to optimize these operative parameters by experiments. Therefore, we have developed a numerical model to obtain the average and the maximum shear stress in two kinds of stirred tanks and an orbital shaking cylindrical container. The present results showed that the shear stress strongly depended on the type of mixing and lesser extent on the shape of the impeller. The average shear stress is larger in the shaking mode than that in the stirring mode. In contrast, the maximum shear stress is much smaller in the shaking than the stirring. These results suggest that stirring and shaking should be selectively used depending on the application

Performance investigation of oil journal bearings is of particular importance given the growing use of them as a support for rotary components in a wide range of industrial machines. Frictional forces and shear stresses, which are proportionate to the velocity of lubricating layers at different points in the bearing space, provide the basis for changing temperature conditions. Various factors such as rotational velocity increase, slip width reduction, and small heat transfer coefficient of lubricant cause intensification of lubricant temperature changes. In the present study, with using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) thermohydrodynamic (THD) numerical simulations, the effect of nanoparticles on the performance features of plain journal bearings is evaluated. Particularly, 3D simulation of a journal bearing is implemented using CFD which considerably improves the accuracy of results, coupled with conjugate heat transfer model for metal parts of bearings. Reynolds equation model is used to calculate the oil-film pressure developed in hydrodynamic journal bearings by applying the nano-based lubricants. The configuration of thrust bearing consists of six pads in this study. In order to reduce the modeling complexity and computational cost and because of the symmetrical geometry of the pads, simulation of a single pad is considered instead of the entire domain. In this study, TiO2 nanoparticle with different volume fraction percentages are used. The parameters that are changed to evaluate the performance of the bearing include volume fraction percentage of the nanoparticle, type of lubricant, and rotational speed. Based on the results, for all different lubricant types, the dissipation power, average shear stress, and temperature rise are increased with augmenting the rotational speed. By increasing the rotational speed from 500 to 1500 rpm, the average shear stress increases by more than 100%, 120%, and 130% for DTE 26, DTE 25, and DTE 24 lubricant types, respectively. Moreover, by increasing the rotational speed from 500 to 1500 rpm, the dissipation power, and temperature rise are increased around 600% and 800%, respectively. Furthermore, increasing nanoparticles volume fraction from 0% to 10%, increases all parameters by approximately 10% for all lubricant types and in all rotational speeds.

Corrosion assessment analysis and burst pressure prediction for an aged pipeline with blunt corrosion defects are essential to its integrity. It has been known that the flow stress based corrosion criteria including ASME B31G and PRCI RSTRENG are often conservative to use, but can be non-conservative in practical applications. The ultimate tensile stress based corrosion criteria such as PCORRC and LPC models largely improved the burst pressure prediction for corrosion defects, but the practice still showed certain non-conservatism of these newer models. This paper reviews and evaluates the commonly-used corrosion criteria. In order to improve the existing criteria for predicting burst pressure for long corrosion defects, three new theoretical models with consideration of strain hardening response for the corroded pipe are developed in terms of Tresca yield criterion, von Mises yield criterion, and a new multi-axial yield criterion, i.e., average shear stress yield criterion proposed recently by the present authors. The existing corrosion criteria and the proposed theoretical models are evaluated using experimental burst data for long machined defects and for long real corrosion defects removed from service. It is found that ASME B31G is over-conservative for long defects, but can be non-conservative for deep defects with intermediate lengths. RSTRENG is conservative for short defects. In contrast, PCORRC (or LPC) and the proposed ZL model predict reasonably conservative results for long corrosion defects.

Shear Stress Gradient

Evans blue dye (EBD) was injected into the carotid arteries of three anesthetized pigs and allowed to circulate for 90 minutes. At the conclusion of the 90-minute period, the animals were sacrificed and injection casts of the infrarenal aorta and iliac-femoral arteries were prepared. The casts with their surrounding arteries were removed and immersed in fixative. After fixation, the EBD-stained vessels were separated from the casts, which were used to construct computational meshes for simulation of the flow fields and wall shear stress distributions that had existed in the casted regions during the experiments. The inlet flow waves and flow partitions were based on flow measurements performed during each experiment. Based on a conceptual model of the relation between shear stress nonuniformity and permeability increase, the spatial and angular variation of the gradient of the time-average shear stress at the walls of the external iliac arteries was found from the computational fluid dynamic simulations for each experiment. Using affine transformations, the gradient and time-average shear stress results, and the EBD optical density distributions, were mapped to a common template, allowing pixel-by-pixel correlations of the hemodynamic stress parameters and local permeability. The results suggest that both shear stress gradient and time-average shear play a role in determining vascular permeability to macromolecules.

Fouling is the main bottleneck of the widespread use of MBR systems. One way to decrease and/or control fouling is by process hydrodynamics. This can be achieved by the increase of liquid cross-flow velocity. In rotational cross-flow MBR systems, this is attained by the spinning of, for example, impellers. Validation of the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model was made against laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) tangential velocity measurements (error less than 8%) using water as a fluid. The shear stress over the membrane surface was inferred from the CFD simulations for water. However, activated sludge (AS) is a non-Newtonian liquid, for which the CFD model was modified incorporating the non-Newtonian behaviour of AS. Shear stress and area-weighted average shear stress relationships were made giving error less that 8% compared with the CFD results. An empirical relationship for the area-weighted average shear stress was developed for water and AS as a function of the angular velocity and the total suspended solids concentration. These relationships can be linked to the energy consumption of this type of systems.

Simple and accurate approaches to predict failure pressures in corroded pipelines are outlined in this work. It is shown that failure pressures for corroded pipelines can be predicted from the solution for undamaged pipelines using an equivalent wall thickness. Three different yield criteria (Tresca, ASSY (average shear stress yield), and von Mises) are reviewed in the light of reported experimental burst pressures. At first, failure pressures for cylindrical vessels with an infinitely long groove are studied by means of numerical simulations. The effect of groove size (depth and width) over the pipeline performance is quantified through a model. Finally, the scheme is extended to estimate the failure pressure of thin walled vessels with irregular finite defects.
