Based on the analysis of the pretension force influence factors for geotechnical prestressed anchorage cables that are used in a practical engineering, the cyclic loading characteristics of prestressed force long-term variation is revealed, and the conception of large and small cycles of prestressed force variety are also put forward. Based on these analysis, a device for the fatigue failure test and the corresponding test methods are manufactured and developed to analyze the durability problem of the inner bond section of prestressed anchorage structure under repetitive loading and cyclic loading. In the experiment, the means of indoor similar model test is adopted, in which the different loading scheme and loading amplitude were taken into account. According to the test results, the fatigue failure regularities of inner bond section for geotechnical prestressed anchorage structure are revealed.

Chip seal bleeding is influenced by many factors, including design inputs, material properties, and project-specific conditions. It reduces the surface texture of the pavement and thus compromises the safety of the traveling public. Even though factors that bring about premature bleeding are known, currently, no laboratory test methods for evaluating bleeding in chip seals have been specified. The objective of this paper is to present the results of an investigation of the influence factors of asphalt emulsion residue properties measured by the ASTM D7405 multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR) test, as well as other factors related to chip seal bleeding resistance as measured by the modified loaded wheel test (MLWT). In this study, the MSCR test was used as a tool for evaluating the performance of asphalt emulsions because it has been identified as a potential test related to bleeding in the field. In addition, MLWT was selected as a tool for evaluating chip seal bleeding performance in the laboratory. The results of the MLWT showed that the emulsion application rate (EAR), aggregate gradation, and emulsion properties were significant factors affecting bleeding. The MSCR test was found to be a promising tool for the performance evaluation of asphalt emulsion residue, as the test was able to differentiate between emulsion chemistries and modifications in terms of sensitivity to both temperature and stress. In relation to chip seal bleeding resistance, only the creep compliance (Jnr) obtained from the MSCR test results was identified as a significant property affecting potential for bleeding.

A Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) is a panel composed of insulation core laminated between two oriented-strand boards (OSB). SIPs deliver building efficiencies by replacing several components of traditional residental and commercial construction, including: (i) studs; (ii) insulation; (iii) vapour barrier; and (iv) air barrier. A SIP-based structure offers superior insulation, exceptional strength, and fast installation. Besides those benefits, the total construction costs are less with SIPs compared to wood-framed homes, expecially when considering speed of construction, less expensive HVAC equipment required, reduced site waste, reduction construction financing costs, more favourable energy-efficient mortages available, and lower cost of owning a home built with SIPS. This thesis presents the experimental testing on selected SIP sizes to investigate their short- and long-term creep behavior under sustained loading. The experiment study performed in a manner to comply with applicable test methods and, Canadian Codes. Short-term creep test results showed the structural adequacy of the tested panels, while the long-term creep test results established the increase in panel total deflection with time. The ultimate load test results showed that the structural qualification of SIPs is "as good as" the structural capacity of the conventional wood-frame buildings.

We developed a device for automatic closed friction and analyzed its test results in this paper, which showed the influence factors in the test methods of textile negative ion occurrence amounts. The textile negative ion occurrence amounts in different time stages were tested in this process; the analysis of its influence of temperature and humidity has certain reference significance for improving testing device for testing textile negative ion concentration, on the basis, functional textiles were also studied. Finally, we put forward the influence factors in the test methods of textile negative ion occurrence amounts.

Geotechnical prestressed anchorage structures are widely used in high slope, deep foundation pit, dam and other geotechnical reinforcement engineerings. Under the influence of the outside environment, its pretensioned force is not fixed, but presents a kind of approximate closed cyclic loading mode, under which the development and evolution regularity of the interface shear stress for the inner bond section of geotechnical prestressed anchorage structure is directly related to the ultimate bearing capacity and its long-term durability. In the experiment, the means of indoor model test was adopted, in which the different loading scheme and loading amplitude were taken into account and the interfaces mechanical properties of inner bond section for geotechnical prestressed anchorage structures under cyclic loading were studied. According to the test results, the development and evolution regularity of the interface shear strain for the inner bond section is revealed, and the long-term durability of the geotechnical anchorage bolt under cycle loading is put forward.

Indian mango roll is a sweet and chewable after-meal sugar fix. It is prepared from the puree of Indian mango and dried to form a glossy sheet. Ripe raw Indian mango generally has a short shelf-life. Osmotic-dehydration is one way to extend the shelf-life of Indian mango. Changes in color and flavor were considered as critical aspects upon long-term storage at accelerated temperatures. This research aimed to predict the shelf-life of Indian mango roll with Accelerated Shelf-life Test methods. Indian mango rolls packed in 30 g stand up aluminum foil with polyethylene liner were stored at three different temperatures, 35°C and 45°C for temperature acceleration, and 30°C for the actual temperature for one hundred eighty (180) days. The storage of Indian mango roll at 30°C, 35°C, and 45°C is predicted until 255 days, 244 days, and 69 days, respectively, based on the test results for the conducted microbiological, physicochemical and sensory analyses. The results implied that the Indian mango roll can be stored long enough before becoming unfit for consumption or sale.

AbstractThe fracture and fatigue properties of LIGA nickel MEMS structures were evaluated by microtensile and fatigue test methods. A microtensile/fatigue device was developed and specimens with feature size ten micrometers were used. The fatigue property was derived from displacement amplitude – the number of cycles to failure curve by applying a dynamic load with a piezoelectric actuator. The tensile/fracture properties after various cyclic loading were also measured. Both fatigue and tensile test results showed a cyclic softening phenomenon.

There are many methods of testing elastic wave velocities of engineering rockmass such as the elastic wave penetration test between adits, elastic wave test on the adit wall and the borehole sonic method etc, but the test results vary with different test methods. It is important to understand and apply appropriately the test results. Based on the field tests, the characteristics of elastic wave velocities under different test methods are studied. The research indicates that the main influence factors of different test methods on wave velocities include the rockmass occurrence environments and the test conditions. For the elastic wave penetration test between adits, the rockmass occurrence environments are basically unchanged, and the influences of the test conditions are little, so the wave velocity obtained by this method is more scientific. The study results are important for the reasonable evaluation of engineering rockmass.
