Effects of different load modes, rise-span ratios and support conditions on out-of-plane buckling and differences between parabolic and circular arches were studied. With the increase of rise-span ratio, buckling loads of arches under vertical load uniformly distributed along the horizontal line get bigger and bigger compared with those of vertical load uniformly distributed along the axis. With increase of rise-span ratio, the buckling loads of hingeless and two-hinged arch increase after decrease, then decrease. The buckling load of three-hinged arch decreases after increases. When rise-span ratio is small, support condition has a great influence on out-of-plane buckling. The parabolic arch is better than circular arch in out-of-plane stability and economy. But circular arch is better than parabolic arch in manufacture.

Finite element model which can reflect the effects of different loading positions were constructed with Beam 188. Effects of different restraints, load models and rise-span ratios on out-of-plane buckling were studied by comparing results of fixed arches with that of pin-end arches under three loading models. It is conservative to design by employing results of radial loading. For ideal restraints, out-of-plane stability of pin-end arches is better than fixed arches when rise-span ratio is big. Effects of different loading positions on out-of-plane buckling were studied. Buckling loads of arches which are loaded at arch-axises are bigger than those of top flanges, but smaller than those of bottom flanges.

In the approach spans of Quanzhou Bay Cross-sea Bridge, these standard spans are 50m or 70m , width is 20.05m.The approach spans have been built by using short Line segments precast and erection method. This is the first application in the cross sea bridges. According to characteristics of this project, the research on prefabrication and erection technology of wide box girders has been carried out to solve the technical problems in the process of construction. The research show that: 1)In precasting process , the vertical deformation of wide box girder is very small under dead load and temperature load etc. so the influence of prefabrication and erection accuracy can be ignored; 2)The temporary anchor using prestressed steel strand better than planished steel; 3) When using epoxy gasket to adjust geometric line shape, the thickness of cemented layer has a great influence on the linear adjustment;4)The epoxy gasket and bridge erecting machine should be used together, Alignment adjustmen could obtain satisfactory results.

Strengthening Method

As an important strengthening method, micro alloying has been widely used to improve the comprehensive properties of aluminum alloy. The research on microstructures and properties of Al-Cu-Mn alloy with Y, Zr and (Y, Zr) was conducted through OM, SEM and EDS methods. Three addition methods were comprehensively compared and the important significance of elements and relevant precipitates distribution to performance improvement was explored. The results show that adding different contents of Y, Zr and (Y, Zr) has great influence on microstructure and properties of Al-Cu-Mn alloy. Fluidity of the (Y+Zr)-containing alloy was significantly higher than that of the Zr or Y-containing one. The hardness and elongation of the Zr-containing alloy were also better than the other two groups, while with the increase of addition amounts from 0 to 0.2 %, it showed a decreasing trend. When the content was 0.3%, the grains of the Y and (Y+Zr)-containing alloys were well refined and the tensile strength and hardness increased as well, and Y-containing alloy presented the best tensile strength. After T6 heat treatment, the mechanical properties of the Y and (Zr+Y)-containing alloys were enhanced due to the dispersed θ phase and completely refined grains. And both ductile fracture ratios increased. When the content was more than 0.3%, the reticular θ phase formed that was extremely unfavorable to properties of the studied alloy. It appears that the addition of Y and Zr has an important influence on improving the properties of the Al-Cu-Mn alloy. And Y, Zr and (Y+Zr) dosages should be adjusted reasonably in the range of 0.1-0.3% to optimize and improve the alloy performance.

ABSTRACTStiffened wing and fuselage panels often have a postbuckling reserve of strength, enabling them to carry loads far in excess of their critical buckling loads. Therefore allowing for postbuckling in design can reduce their weight, hence reducing fuel consumption and environmental impact. The present paper extends the postbuckling analysis in the exact strip software VICONOPT to more accurately reflect the skewed mode shapes arising from shear load and anisotropy. Such mode shapes are represented by a series of sinusoidal responses with different half-wavelengths which are coupled together using Lagrangian multipliers to enforce the boundary conditions. In postbuckling analysis the in-plane deflections involve responses with additional half-wavelengths which are absent from the out-of-plane deflection series. Numerical results are presented and compared with finite element analysis for validation. The present analysis gives close results compared to the finite element and finite strip methods and saves computational time significantly.

The Moment

Lateral buckling of cantilevered circular arches under various end moments is studied using an analytical approach. Three types of conservative moments are considered, i.e. the quasi-tangential moments of the 1st and 2nd kinds, and the semi-tangential moment. The induced moments associated with each of the moment mechanisms undergoing three-dimensional rotations are included in the Newman boundary conditions. Using the differential equations available for the out-of-plane buckling of curved beams, the analytical solutions are derived for a cantilevered circular arch, which can be used as the benchmarks for calibration of other methods of analysis.

3-D droplet transportation of ElectroWetting On Dielectric (EWOD) actuation with flexible substrate is proposed. Instead of glass substrate, a polymer film is taken to fabricate the microfluidic device for the droplet demonstrating out of plane motions. Two kinds of tests, tilted test and curved test, are performed, and a model of minimum required actuation voltage is presented, and compared with the results of tilted test. The current model matches experiment data much better than the conventional ones. In the curved test, the droplet successfully transports from bottom to the top.

The buckling loads, natural frequencies and mode shapes of twist-drill bits and certain fluted cutters under a variety of combinations of twist angle, cross-section geometry, and axial loading have been obtained. The drill bit is modelled as a twisted Euler beam under axial loading that is clamped at both ends. The governing system of differential equations is solved by the Galerkin procedure. Explicit forms for the basis functions used to generate the Galerkin coefficients are presented in general form in an appendix. They may be used for obtaining numerical results for that class of problems which use the Rayleigh-Ritz-Galerkin methods with beam-type functions as the basis functions. The representative set of modes obtained exhibit a complex out-of-plane twisting-type motion that suggests a possible explanation for the out-of-roundness of certain drilled holes.
