Distribution Of Stresses

Accurate modeling and prediction of materials properties is of utmost importance to design engineers. In this study, newly developed two-dimensional laminate constitutive equations (LCE) were derived directly from an existing shell model without using a classical correction factor. The resulted LCEs were subsequently used for the first time to analyze a laminated composite tube (LCT) subjected to in plane-loading. This led to additional composite-shell stiffness coefficients which are not currently available in some LCEs. The strains and stresses distribution fields were computed via Matlab. The accuracy and robustness of our analytical method were proven by opposing the as-obtained results of thick and thin LCTs with that of existing theories which use a correction factor. An excellent convergence was observed. Whereas a lower convergence was observed in the case of a laminated shell plate. Results also showed that the thickness ratio χ (2χ=h/R ) considerably influences the mechanical behavior of the LCT. In fact when χ<0.1, the distribution of stresses and strains of the tube were the same for the two opposed theories. When χ>0.1, the distribution of stresses and strains were not the same, hence the contribution of our ABCDE matrix. The new mechanical couplings in our LCE could be well illustrated in a finite element package with visualization tools to observe some intricate deformations which are yet to be seen. Thus the outcome of this work will be of particularly interest to promote advanced scientific and structural engineering applications.

Tree Uprooting

Failure of a tree can be caused by a stem breakage, tree uprooting, or branch failure. While the pulling test is used for assessing the first two cases, there is no device-supported method to assess branch failure. A combination of the optical technique, pulling test, and deflection curve analysis could provide a device-supported tool for this kind of assessment. The aim of the work was to perform a structural analysis of branch response to static mechanical loading. The analyses were carried out by finite element simulations in ANSYS using beam tapered elements of elliptical cross-sections. The numerical analyses were verified by the pulling test combined with a sophisticated optical assessment of deflection evaluation. The Probabilistic Design System was used to find the parameters that influence branch mechanical response to loading considering the use of cantilever beam deflection for stability analysis. The difference in the branch’s deflection between the simulation and the experiment is 0.5% to 26%. The high variability may be explained by the variable modulus of the elasticity of branches. The finite element (FE) sensitivity analysis showed a higher significance of geometry parameters (diameter, length, tapering, elliptical cross-section) than material properties (elastic moduli). The anchorage rotation was found to be significant, implying that this parameter may affect the outcome in mechanical analysis of branch behavior. The branch anchorage can influence the deflection of the whole branch, which should be considered in stability assessment.

Improvement in accuracy without sacrificing stability and convergence of the solution to unsteady diffusion heat transfer problems by computational method of enhanced explicit scheme (EES), has been achieved and demonstrated, through transient one dimensional and two dimensional heat conduction. The truncation error induced in the explicit scheme using finite difference technique is eliminated by optimization of partial derivatives in the Taylor series expansion, by application of interface theory developed by the authors. This theory, in its simple terms gives the optimum values to the decision vectors in a redundant linear equation. The time derivatives and the spatial partial derivatives in the transient heat conduction, take the values depending on the time step chosen and grid size assumed. The time correction factor and the space correction factor defined by step sizes govern the accuracy, stability and convergence of EES. The comparison of the results of EES with analytical results, show decreased error as compared to the result of explicit scheme. The paper has an objective of reducing error in the explicit scheme by elimination of truncation error introduced by neglecting the higher order terms in the expansion of the governing function. As the pilot examples of the exercise, the implementation is aimed at solving one-dimensional and two-dimensional problems of transient heat conduction and compared with the results cited in the referred literature.

With advancement in the field of structural engineering, hunt for smarter materials has channelised the research towards the application of composite material. It is the high specific weight and specific stiffness of this material that have drawn the interest of different industrial sectors. Civil engineers also picked up composites to use it as a roofing material. Laminated composite shells, which can cover large column-free area and reduces dead weight of structure, show vulnerability under sudden impact due to their low transverse shear resistances. This study utilises finite element tool to investigate the dynamic response of a multilayered laminated composite hypar shells for fully clamped boundary condition. This class of shells is unique in a sense that the curvature has only the radius of cross curvature and these shells do not admit easy closed form solution particularly when the boundary conditions are complicated. Contact behavior of impactor and impacted mass has been modeled by modified Hertzian contact law and time-dependent equations are solved using Newmark’s time integration technique. Basic aim is to analyse the shell for symmetrically placed multilayered angle and cross ply lamination under different impact velocities.

Polylactide-based composites filled with waste fillers due to their sustainability are a subject of many current papers, in which their structural, mechanical, and thermal properties are evaluated. However, few studies focus on their behavior in low temperatures. In this paper, dynamic and quasi-static mechanical properties of polylactide-based composites filled with 10 wt% of linseed cake (a by-product of mechanical oil extraction from linseed) were evaluated at room temperature and at −40 °C by means of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Charpy’s impact strength test and uniaxial tensile test. It was found that the effect of plasticization provided by the oil contained in the filler at room temperature is significantly reduced in sub-zero conditions due to solidification of the oil around −18 °C, as it was shown by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and DMA, but the overall mechanical performance of the polylactide-based composites was sufficient to enable their use in low-temperature applications.

In this study, a quasi-static model is built to theoretically analyze the distribution of twists and spinning tension in embeddable and locatable spun (ELS) yarn formation zone. Important equations are also derived to determine inner mechanics and external configurations of the ELS yarn formation zones 1, 2 and 3. Analysis results demonstrate that in zones 1 and 2 the tension distribution on the filament and staple strand is directly proportional to their linear mass and square of delivery speed; the larger weight causes a smaller angle between the responding component and the composite strand axis line. The angle between the composite strands 1 and 2 can be simply calculated by dividing the composite yarn velocity by composite strand velocity. Online photographs are provided to validate theoretical analysis of the ELS yarn formation zone configuration and twist distribution in zones 1 and 2.
