scholarly journals Reliability Analysis of Resultant Stress for Unsymmetrical Columns for Stress Follow Exponential Distribution

When a body is subjected to eccentric loads, the direct stress as well as bending stress is produced. Resultant stress is obtained by adding these two stresses. In this paper, probabilistic approach has been made for designing the structure of unsymmetrical column by finding suitable parameters length of outer square and length of a hole and eccentric load of the column to get the specified reliability of the structure of a body or component. Reliability analysis has been done at the point of maximum compressive stress occurred and at the point of minimum tensile stress occurred. Reliability computations have been obtained for changing the various parameter values. It is observed from the computations that Reliability of the component when compressive stress occurs at the edge AB increases with increasing of length of outer square, decrease of load, decrease of length of hole and increasing of eccentricity. Reliability of the component when tensile stress occurs at the edge CD increases with decrease of length of outer square increasing the length of a hole, decreases the load and decrease of eccentricity

A NFE model is constructed to analyze the convective heat transfer steady thermal stress in a ceramic/FGM/metal composite EFBC plate with temperature-dependent material properties. Based on thermoelasticity theory, we derive the NFE basic equation of heat conduction of the plate. We present a Sinpson method for the solution of steady thermal stress formulas of the composite plate. Using FORTRAN language we design the calculation software. From numerical calculation, when , T0=300K, Ta=500K and Tb=1 650K, the stress distributions in the plate were obtained. The results are as follows. With the increase of the FGM gradient layer thickness, the stress distribution is more reasonable, and the largest tensile stress of the EFBC composite plate reduces by 59.6%. With the increase of M, the stress change increases obviously in metal and ceramic layers, and the thermal compressive stress on the ceramic surface reduces by 78.1%. With the increase of porosity, the change of stress at the bonding interfaces increases, and the thermal compressive stress on the surface of ceramics reaches the maximum, and the thermal tensile stress on the surface of metal reaches the maximum too. Compared with , when , the tensile stress on the metal surface reduces by 91.3%, and the maximum compressive stress on the surface of ceramics increases 4.55 times. Compared with the nongraded two-layered ceramic/metal composite plate, the thermal stress of ceramic/FGM/metal composite EFBC plate is very gentle, and the maximum tensile stress reduces by 62.94%. When we consider the temperature-dependent material properties, the stress in graded three-layered composite plate becomes small obviously, and the maximum tensile stress in the plate reduces by 36.74%, and the maximum compressive stress on the ceramic surface reduces by 31.4%. The model can effectively analyze the thermal stresses and effect factors in a ZrO2/FGM/Ti-6Al-4V composite plate. The results provide the foundations of theoretical calculation for the design and application of the composite plate.

Abstract This paper aims to study the stress and deformation of large steel structure buildings in the actual construction process. Midas Gen finite element software is used to simulate and analyze the whole construction process of the curved reticulated shell roof, the peripheral steel columns and the permanent support. The stress and deformation results of the structure in the final construction state are compared with those in the design state under one-time loading. The results show that, in the final construction state, the maximum tensile stress and the maximum compressive stress are 1.9 times and 2.0 times of that in the design state under one-time loading respectively, which is very significant. When the design model is loaded with weight at one time, the maximum tensile stress and the maximum compressive stress of the structure both appear near the opening of the steel roof, while in the final construction state, the maximum tensile stress of the structure appears near the boundary frame beam, and the maximum compressive stress appears on the main ridge beam. The maximum vertical displacement of the structure in the final construction state is 2.0 times of that when the design model is loaded at one time. The maximum vertical displacement of the design state appears near the opening of the steel roof, while the maximum vertical displacement of the structure in the final construction state appears on the main ridge beam. In view of the above, the effective guidance for the construction of steel roof structure is provided in this paper to ensure the safety of the structure.

To monitor the changes in the force of the tunnel invert steel bars after the groundwater level changes, field tests were performed to accurately and comprehensively characterize the stress acting on the rebar of a tunnel invert. Changes in stress and temperature were monitored for two layers of rebar (upper and lower) in an actual tunnel invert during its repair. The results showed that the changes in stress followed different paths for the upper and lower layers. After the groundwater is replenished, the maximum tensile stress of the rebar was 17.3 MPa, and the maximum compressive stress was 120 MPa. Major changes in stress were observed 2–6 days after rain. Based on this, the seepage path of groundwater is analyzed. During this period, the compressive stress increased threefold, and the tensile stress increased 9.5-fold. The rebar stress in the tunnel invert followed a Gaussian distribution after stabilizing. Four phases of stress progression are identified and discussed. The results can provide data support and theoretical basis for the treatment of invert floor heave in enriched water tunnel.

The instability of the bipolar plate for welding fuel cell was analyzed taking the bipolar plate as thin plate. The minimum compressive stress is calculated based on thin plate instability theory caused by longitudinal compressive stress. The simplified thermal stress distribution function is determined using the analytical solution of the plane heat conduction equation. The maximum compressive stress is determined through the analysis of the longitudinal stress distribution of the cross section passing through the solder point during heating and cooling process. The results are used to obtain the pre-tensile stress controlling the instability of the bipolar plate for welding fuel cell, and the minimum pre-tensile stress is the difference between the maximum compressive stress and the minimum compressive stress as the thin plate loses instability.

Glulam bamboo has been preliminarily explored for use as a structural building material, and its stress–strain model under axial loading has a fundamental role in the analysis of bamboo components. To study the tension and compression behaviour of glulam bamboo, the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo as two kinds of typical glulam bamboo materials were tested under axial loading. Their mechanical behaviour and failure modes were investigated. The results showed that the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo have similar failure modes. For tensile failure, bamboo fibres were ruptured with sawtooth failure surfaces shown as brittle failure; for compression failure, the two modes of compression are buckling and compression shear failure. The stress–strain relationship curves of the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo are also similar. The tensile stress–strain curves showed a linear relationship, and the compressive stress–strain curves can be divided into three stages: elastic, elastoplastic and post-yield. Based on the test results, the stress–strain model was proposed for glulam bamboo, in which a linear equation was used to describe the tensile stress–strain relationship and the Richard–Abbott model was employed to model the compressive stress–strain relationship. A comparison with the experimental results shows that the predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental curves.

Twin-I girder bridge systems composite with precast concrete deck have advantages including construction simplification and improved concrete strength compared with traditional multi-I girder bridge systems with cast-in-place concrete deck. But the cracking is still a big issue at interior support for continuous span bridges using twin-I girders. To reduce cracks occurrence in the hogging regions subject to negative moments and to guarantee the durability of bridges, the most essential way is to reduce the tensile stress of concrete deck within the hogging regions. In this paper, the prestressed tendons are arranged to prestress the precast concrete deck before it is connected with the steel girders. In this way, the initial compressive stress induced by the prestressed tendons in the concrete deck within the hogging region is much higher than that in regular concrete deck without prestressed tendons. A finite element analysis is developed to study the long-term behaviour of prestressed concrete deck for a twin-I girder bridge. The results show that the prestressed tendons induce large compressive stresses in the concrete deck but the compressive stresses are reduced due to concrete creep. The final compressive stresses in the concrete deck are about half of the initial compressive stresses. Additionally, parametric study is conducted to find the effect to the long-term behaviour of concrete deck including girder depth, deck size, prestressing stress and additional imposed load. The results show that the prestressing compressive stress in precast concrete deck is transferred to steel girders due to concrete creep. The prestressed forces transfer between the concrete deck and steel girder cause the loss of compressive stresses in precast concrete deck. The prestressed tendons can introduce some compressive stress in the concrete deck to overcome the tensile stress induced by the live load but the force transfer due to concrete creep needs be considered. The concrete creep makes the compressive stress loss and the force redistribution in the hogging regions, which should be considered in the design the twin-I girder bridge composite with prestressed precast concrete deck.
