Sophisticated Analysis

To study the accuracy of simplified formulations for prediction of the ultimate strength of longitudinally stiffened panels under uniaxial compression, the preferred approach is to compare them with available experimental data or numerical results from more sophisticated analysis procedures. Such studies are necessary in the development of both design code calibrations and reliability analysis procedures. Existing experimental data and numerical results useful for this purpose are first collected. Salient features of existing design formulations for compressive strength are then reviewed. Selected formulations are compared with the experimental data/numerical results. It is illustrated that there can be a significant amount of scatter in strength estimates by any one formulation and among formulations. The reasons for such scatter are discussed, with the emphasis on the collapse mode(s) involved, the effective width of plating, initial imperfections, and rotational restraints due to stiffening. The experimental and numerical strength data collected are documented for convenience of future use by other investigators.

The aim of the paper is to present a three dimensional transient cooling analysis of an automobile cabin with a virtual manikin under solar radiation. In the numerical simulations the velocity and the temperature distributions in the automobile cabin as well as around the human body surfaces were computed during transient cooling period. The surface-to-surface radiation model was used for calculations of radiation heat transfer between the interior surfaces of the automobile cabin and a solar load model that can be used to calculate radiation effects from the sun's rays that enter from the glazing surfaces of the cabin was used for solar radiation effects. Inhomogeneous air flow and non-uniform temperature distributions were obtained in the automobile cabin and, especially in ten minutes of cooling period, high temperature gradients were computed and measured and high temperature values were obtained for the surfaces which were more affected from the sunlight. Validations of the numerical results were performed by comparing numerical data with the experimental data presented in this study. It is shown that the numerical results were good agreement with the experimental data.

The diffusion and the shell progressive models of deactivation caused by irreversible chemisorption of a catalytic poison are presented for a single catalyst pellet. The method for solution of the model equations is proposed. The numerical results are compared with experimental data obtained by measuring concentration and temperature changes due to thiophene poisoning in benzene hydrogenation over a nickel-alumina catalyst.

Penetration Tests

In order to get mechanical properties ,some RPC samples with 5% steel fiber are tested, many groups data were obtained such as compressive strength, shear strength and fracture toughness. And a group of tests on RPC with 5% steel-fiber under penetration were also conducted to validate the performance to impact. The penetration tests are carried out by the semi-AP projectiles with the diameter of 57 mm and earth penetrators with the diameter of 80 mm, and velocities of the two kinds of projectiles are 300～600 m/s and 800～900 m/s, respectively. By contrast between the experimental data and the calculation results of C30 reinforced concrete by using experiential formula under penetration, it shows that the resistance of steel-fiber RPC to penetration is 3 times as that of general C30 reinforced concrete.

Les Model

Velocity fluctuations in a mixing T-junction were simulated in FLUENT using large-eddy simulation (LES) turbulent flow model with sub-grid scale (SGS) Smagorinsky–Lilly (SL) model. The normalized mean and root mean square velocities are used to describe the time-averaged velocities and the velocities fluctuation intensities. Comparison of the numerical results with experimental data shows that the LES model is valid for predicting the flow of mixing in a T-junction junction. The numerical results reveal the velocity distributions and fluctuations are basically symmetrical and the fluctuation at the upstream of the downstream of the main duct is stronger than that at the downstream of the downstream of the main duct.

Abstract In this presentation we will report on joint efforts with D.J. Inman and his colleagues at MSL, SUNY at Buffalo, to develop viable models for the analysis and control of elastic structures exhibiting coupled torsional and flexural vibrations. A model for coupled torsion and bending is developed which incorporates Kelvin Voigt damping and warping. Approximation techniques are introduced and preliminary numerical results are discussed. Experimental data is presented and used to test our computational results.

In this paper a mathematical model that describes macrophage infiltration into avascular tumours is presented. The qualitative accuracy of the model is assessed by comparing numerical results with independent experimental data that describe the infiltration of macrophages into two types of spheroids: chemoattractant-producing (hepa-1) and chemoattractant-deficient (or C4) spheroids. A combination of analytical and numerical techniques are used to show how the infiltration pattern depends on the motility mechanisms involved (i.e. random motion and chemotaxis) and to explain the observed differences in macrophage infiltration into the hepa-1 and C4 spheroids. Model predictions are generated to show how the spheroid's size and spatial structure and the ability of its constituent cells influence macrophage infiltration. For example, chemoattractant-producing spheroids are shown to recruit larger numbers of macrophages than chemoattractant-deficient spheroids of the same size and spatial structure. The biological implications of these results are also discussed briefly.

Decisive Importance

The flow in a three sector model, representing a segment of an annular rich quench lean combustor for an aeroengine is investigated. Detailed knowledge of flow, temperature and species concentration distributions is of decisive importance to control the NOx formation, essential to the RQL concept. Velocities, temperatures and species concentrations are measured. They are partly used to aquire data on the inlet boundaries in the numerical calculation and partly used to compare with the numerical results. The calculation reveals many details which are not accesable in the experiment. It also shows the effects of the specific inlet dataset. Experimental data and numerical results furnish complementary information.

Deviation Factor

In Iran Concrete Code (ABA), the criteria for calculation of standard deviation (s) are comprehensive and holistic. However, if it would be determined separately for each geographical area, significant changes could occur due to the use of concrete as one of the common materials. This paper analyses the criteria and redefines the acceptance standards for concrete compressive strength in ABA using experimental data available in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad and Fars provinces. The main hypothesis of the study is that using the statistical analysis of the test specimens for three categories C21, C30 and C35 in various projects located in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad and Fars provinces, extracting standard deviations, mean and the compressive strength of the specimens and their comparison with ABA proposed relationships and values, it is possible to propose new amendments for these areas in line with economic savings in national and international projects. In this study using the quantitative Strategy, library - Internet studies, field studies and in cooperation with the concrete labs, required information for 4878 concrete specimens was collected from the above-mentioned areas. By analysing the acceptance regulations for the specimens based on ABA and comparing the standard deviation of these data with the formulas of the regulations, significant results were obtained for the standard deviation factor correction and finally some formulas were suggested for the acceptance of the concrete specimens.
