Failure Morphology

The loading and the failure mode of metal hexagon bolt joints and metal counter-sunk bolt joints of C/C composites were investigated. The joints were tested for out-of-plane loading at two temperatures (600 °C and 800 °C). The failure morphology of a lap plate was investigated, and the main failure modes were determined. The typical load–displacement curve was characterized and the test was simulated using ABAQUS non-linear finite element software. Furthermore, progressive damage was induced, and comparison of the finite element simulation with the experimental data revealed that the failures mainly occurred in the lower lap plate and were dominated by cracking and delamination of the matrix, accompanied by the pull-out of a small number of piercing fibers. Finally, the influences of the temperature, nut radius, and fixture geometry on the critical load were determined via simulation.

The Impact

Ice shedding causes transmission lines to vibrate violently, which induces a sharp increase in the longitudinal unbalanced tension of the lines, even resulting in the progressive collapse of transmission towers in serious cases, which is a common ice-based disaster for transmission tower-line systems. Based on the actual engineering characteristics of a 500 kV transmission line taken as the research object, a finite element model of a two-tower, three-line system is established by commercial ANSYS finite element software. In the modeling process, the uniform mode method is used to introduce the initial defects, and the collapse caused by ice shedding and its influencing parameters are systematically studied. The results show that the higher the ice-shedding height is, the greater the threat of ice shedding to the system; furthermore, the greater the span is, the shorter the insulator length and the greater the dynamic response of the line; the impact of ice shedding should be considered in the design of transmission towers.

In this article the finite element software was used to analyse the values for compressive strength of X-cor sandwich. During the analysis, the failure criteria and materials stiffness degradation rules of failure mechanisms were proposed. The failure processes and failure modes were also clarified. In the finite element model we used the distributions of failure elements to simulate the failure processes. Meanwhile the failure mechanisms of X-cor sandwich were explained. The finite element analysis indicates that the resin regions of Z-pin tips fail firstly and the Z-pins fail secondly. The dominant failure mode is the Z-pin elastic buckling and the propagation paths of failure elements are dispersive. Through contrast the finite element values and test results are consistent well and the error range is -7.6%~9.5%. Therefore the failure criteria and stiffness degradation rules are reasonable and the model can be used to predict the compressive strength of X-cor sandwich.

Abstract Mechanical damage in subsea pipelines in the form of local dents / buckles due to excessive bending deformation may severely threaten their structural integrity. A dent / buckle has two significant effects on the pipeline integrity. Notably, residual stresses are set up as result of the plastic deformation and stress concentrations are created due to change in pipe geometry caused by the denting / buckling process. To assess the criticality of a dent / buckle, which often can be associated with strain induced flaws in the highly deformed metal, integrity assessment is required. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the severity of dent / buckle in a 48” subsea pipeline and to make the rerate, repair or replacement decision. This paper presents a Level 3 integrity assessment of a subsea pipeline dent / buckle with metal loss, reported in in-line inspection (ILI), in accordance with Fitness-For-Service Standard API 579-1/ASME FFS-1. In this paper, the deformation process that caused the damage (i.e. dent / buckle) with metal loss is numerically simulated using ILI data in order to determine the magnitude of permanent plastic strain developed and to evaluate the protection against potential failure modes. For numerical simulation, elastic-plastic finite element analyses (FEA) are performed considering the material as well as geometric non-linearity using general purpose finite element software ABAQUS/CAE 2017. Based on the numerical simulation results, the integrity assessment of dented / buckled subsea pipeline segment with metal loss has been performed to assess the fitness-for-service at the operating loads.

As Chinese architecture masterpiece, ancient Hui-style architecture is the admiration for Chinese and foreign master builders. According to the bending test, the theoretical calculations and Abaqus finite element analysis on 5 Hui-style architecture beams, this paper points out the differences between un-reinforced beams and reinforced beams on ultimate bearing capacity, deflection and other performance indicators. The reinforcement methods of embedding steel bars, embedding CFRP bars and pasting CFRP plate can respectively improve the ultimate bearing capacity by 20.2%, 32.6% and 37.0%. Based on the plane section assumption and considering thereduction of tensile strength causedby wood knots and defects in tension zone, this paper predicts failure modes of the test beams may occur, and gives the ultimate bearing capacity of different failure modes. In addition, this paper uses the Abaqus finite element software for simulating test beams, and the development trend of load-deflectioncurve between the test and numerical simulation are in good agreement, providing reference for further research of Hui-style architecture.

This paper focuses on the performance of a special kind of tapered composite columns, namely tapered concrete-filled steel composite (TCFSC) slender columns, under axial loading. These efficient TCFSC columns are formed by the increase of the mid-height depth and width of straight concrete-filled steel composite (CFSC) slender columns, that is, by the enhancement of the tapered angle (from 0° to 2.75°) of the tapered composite columns from their top and bottom to their mid-height. To investigate the performance of the columns, finite element software LUSAS is employed to carry out the nonlinear analyses. Comparisons of the nonlinear finite element results with the existing experimental results uncover the reasonable accuracy of the proposed modelling. Nonlinear analyses are extensively performed and developed to study effects of different variables such as various tapered angles, steel wall thicknesses, concrete compressive strengths, and steel yield stresses on the performance of the columns. It is concluded that increasing each of these variables considerably enhances the ultimate axial load capacity. Also, enhancement of the tapered angle and/or steel wall thickness significantly improves the ductility. Moreover, confinement effect of the steel wall on the performance of the columns is evaluated. Failure modes of the columns are also presented.

The aim of present study was investigate the buckling pressure of moderately thick-walled filament-wound carbon–epoxy stiffened composite pressure vessel subjected to external hydrostatic pressure through finite element analysis and compare the result with un-stiffened filament wound carbon/epoxy composite pressure vessel used in under water vehicle applications. The winding angles were [±30/90] FW, [±45/90] FW and [±60/90] FW. ANSYS 14.0 APDL, a commercial finite element software package successfully predicted the buckling pressure of filament-wound composite pressure vessel with a deviation much higher than the results of un-stiffened filament wound composite cylinder .All the finite element analysis shows that the composite pressure vessel with winding pattern [±60/90] FW has the higher value of critical buckling pressure. Major failure modes in both the analysis were dominated by the helical winding angles.

Lateral Bracing

Tension members consisting of single and double angles, single channels and similar sections are frequently used for lateral bracing and as truss elements. Such members normally have eccentric connections which results in bending of tension member. It is often permitted, by current design specifications, to neglect this eccentricity in the design of the member. The present study is focus on mode of failure on cold formed steel angle. This analysis carries single angles and double angles sections of 2mm under plain (without Lipped) and with Lipped conditions subjected to tension. Analyses were carried out for thirty-six numbers of angle sections under condition such as double angle were connected same side to gusset plate and connected to opposite side. Figure shows connection failure and mode of failure. Local buckling, global buckling, tearing failure, net section failure, and block shear failure.

The dissertation taked the ZBS2 straight-line tower in the UHV line project as the object,used the finite element software ANSYS to establish finite element model and did a analysis about its dynamic characteristics. Considering width and thickness of large width angle steel,the section area of large width angle steel is larger than normal angle steel,and the application of large width angle steel can increase bearing capacity of the member.Therefore,this article taked large width angle steel to replace double combined angle steels in the main members of the tower,and calculated the ultimate bearing capacity. Analysis of comparison indicate that the ultimate bearing capacity increases by 13% when large width angle steel is used.Therefore it is feasible and advantageous that large width angle steel uses in the UHV transimission tower,and it provide a reference and basis for future design of the UHV transmission tower with large width angle steel.
