Abstract It is shown that the optimum wall thickness of a cylindrical round tube column is a function of load only and is independent of diameter. The optimum wall thickness of a tapered round thin-walled column is found to be constant along its length. The optimum shape of a tapered round thin-walled column is derived, being that column whose bending stress in the buckled state is constant along its length. The weight ratio of the optimum tapered column to an equal-strength optimum cylindrical column is found to be 0.8924. It is shown that a double truncated cone whose diameter ratio is in the range 0.35 ⩽ D1/D2 ⩽ 0.50 closely approaches the optimum column. If it is specified that no portion of the double truncated cone shall yield, then the weight advantage of the cone over the cylindrical column is rapidly lost as the stress in the cylindrical column approaches the yield stress. In the inelastic range the weight advantage of the tapered column will be less than in the elastic range.

Abstract A theory of the Bourdon gage is presented based upon two elements of strain, namely, the bending of the walls in a transverse section through the gage tubing, and a longitudinal extension parallel to the axis of the tubing. Practical formulas are derived for the calculation of the sensitivity and the torque of the Bourdon gage. An estimate is made of the maximum stress. The sensitivity of a very thin-walled gage is shown to be proportional to the inverse first power of the wall thickness. Results of a few measurements show agreement with the theory.

Allowable Compressive Stress

This paper treats the optimal design of a vertical column that is built-in at the lower end. In addition to its own weight, the column is to carry an axial compressive load at its unsupported upper end. The column is to be designed as a thin-walled tube. The median line is to be the same for all cross sections; the wall thickness, though constant along the median line of any cross section, is allowed to vary along the length of the tube. Accordingly, the weight per unit length of the tube is proportional to the bending stiffness. For given length and total weight, the variation of the wall thickness along the column is to be determined to maximize the critical value of the compressive load at the upper end. The influence of a maximum allowable compressive stress on the design is also investigated.

AbstractThe production of injection moulded components with low shrinkage and warpage is a constant challenge for manufacturers. The thermal design of the injection mould plays an important role for the achievable quality, especially the placement of the cooling channels. This design is usually based on empirical knowledge of the mould designers. The construction is supported iteratively by injection moulding simulations. In the case of thick-walled plastic optics with big wall thickness jumps, the shrinkage is compensated by injection compression moulding. In this process, the thin-walled areas freeze earlier and the necessary compression pressure introduces stresses into these areas which reduces the optical performance. An adapted cooling channel design can reduce these problems. At the IKV, Institute for Plastics Processing in Industry and Crafts at the RWTH Aachen University, a methodology was developed which inversely calculates the cooling requirement of the moulded part A demand-oriented cooling channel system is derived based on the computed results. The aim of the research projects is to minimise displacement and internal stresses by temperature control of the moulded parts according to the demand. In this paper, the methodology is applied to three different geometries, representing three classical parts for the injection moulding process. Three different quality areas in the mould for the inverse optimisation are defined and investigated. For each geometry the cooling channel designs are then validated in injection moulding simulations based on the results from the thermal optimisation. It can be shown that for different component geometries and thicknesses, different quality areas are advantageous and decrease the maximum warpage of the parts. For thin-walled ribbed components, a 2D approach leads to a 15% smaller displacement, for components with wall thickness jumps, all investigated quality ranges show no differences in displacement, but a surface in the middle of the part is preferred due to a 3 °C lower standard deviation of the temperature distribution.

Most companies control the risk of burnthrough by prohibiting welding on pipelines with wall thicknesses below a specified thickness. This is a safe approach but the risk of burnthrough depends not only on the wall thickness, but also on the welding parameters and the operating parameters of the pipeline which include pressure. It is generally acknowledged that the hoop stress caused by pressurizing the pipeline has a relatively minor effect on the risk of burnthrough since the size of the area heated by the welding arc is small. While this has certainly been shown to be true for thicker materials, previous research has shown that the pressure can have a dramatic effect on burnthrough risk for thinner materials. The objective of this project was to further investigate the effects pressure and hoop stress has on the burnthrough risk of welding onto thin-walled pipelines in service. For circumferential welds, pressure and wall thickness determine the burnthrough risk and pipe diameter appears to have no effect. The failure mechanism for circumferential welds is consistently a burnthrough. For longitudinal welds, pipe diameter does appear to affect burnthrough risk even though the effect appears to be secondary to pressure and wall thickness. The pipe diameter is believed to be more influential for longitudinal welds because of the larger area of heated material that is exposed to the hoop stress. Also, the results indicate that the magnitude of the hoop stress has a direct effect on the failure mechanism for longitudinal welds (i.e., burnthrough or weld centerline cracks). For longitudinal welds, the failure mechanism is commonly burnthrough for welds made onto pipes with a hoop stress below 30% specified minimum yield stress (SMYS) which indicates that the internal pressure of the pipe is the main driving force for failure. Longitudinal welds made on pipes which are experiencing hoop stress above 30% SMYS commonly fail by weld cracking. It is important to note that even though pressure does have an effect on the burnthrough susceptibility of welds made on thin-walled pipelines, pressure only becomes a factor for welds made at heat input levels in excess of what is predicted safe by thermal analysis modeling.

Abstract Porosity is one of the major defects in aluminum castings, which results is a decrease of a mechanical properties. Porosity in aluminum alloys is caused by solidification shrinkage and gas segregation. The final amount of porosity in aluminium castings is mostly influenced by several factors, as amount of hydrogen in molten aluminium alloy, cooling rate, melt temperature, mold material, or solidification interval. This article deals with effect of chemical composition on porosity in Al-Si aluminum alloys. For experiment was used Pure aluminum and four alloys: AlSi6Cu4, AlSi7Mg0, 3, AlSi9Cu1, AlSi10MgCu1.

As part of a program studying the effects of large strain deformations resulting from multiaxial loading to a variety of materials, a thin walled tube (0.46” O.D. x 0.02” wall thickness) of 70-30 Brass was subjected to strain deformation in the following directions 1) along the tube axis, εz = 0.3393; 2) circumferential around the tube surface, εθ = -0.0121; 3) perpendicular to the wall thickness, εR = 0.3514. This report describes the results of an x-ray examination of the external surface of the tube by the line broadening technique.
