Prediction of bending strength of long corrugated boxes

Long corrugated boxes were supported at both ends and bent by a concentrated force applied at the middle. Boxes with different lengths, cross‐sectional shapes, flute directions and board strengths were tested, using a standard compression tester with a fixed platen in accordance with ASTM D‐642. An equation was developed to relate compression strength to the various properties of the box. The correlation coefficient R² for the fit to actual data was about 0.4. Boxes having the flutes run around the box had a 20% higher compression strength than with horizontal flutes. The most significant factor was found to be the board edge crush strength. The results suggest that failure of boxes in bending is due to localized crushing at the point of application of the load, rather than whole‐box collapse.

The effect of adding nano-SiO2 and nano-Al2O3 on properties of high calcium fly ash geopolymer cured at ambient temperature

This article presents the effect of adding nano-SiO₂ and nano-Al₂O₃ on the properties of high calcium fly ash geopolymer pastes. Nano-particles were added to fly ash at the dosages of 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3% by weight. The sodium hydroxide concentration of 10 molars, sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide weight ratio of 2.0, the alkaline liquid/binder ratio of 0.60 and curing at ambient temperature of 23 °C were used in all mixtures. The results showed that the use of nano-SiO₂ as additive to fly ash results in the decrease of the setting time, while the addition of nano-Al₂O₃ results in only a slight reduction in setting time. Adding 1–2% nano-particles could improve compressive strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus of pastes due to the formation of additional calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) or calcium aluminosilicate hydrate (CASH) and sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (NASH) or geopolymer gel in geopolymer matrix. In addition, the additions of both nano-SiO₂ and nano-Al₂O₃ enhances the shear bond strength between concrete substrate and geopolymer.

The role of 0–2 mm fine recycled concrete aggregate on the compressive and splitting tensile strengths of recycled concrete aggregate concrete

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of 0–2 mm fine aggregate on the compressive and splitting tensile strengths of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) concrete with normal and high strengths. Normal coarse and fine aggregates were substituted with the same grading of RCAs in two normal and high strength concrete mixtures. In addition, to keep the same slump value for all mixes, additional water or superplasticizer were used in the RCA concretes. The compressive and splitting tensile strengths were measured at 3, 7 and 28 days. Test results show that coarse and fine RCAs, which were achieved from a parent concrete with 30 MPa compressive strength, have about 11.5 and 3.5 times higher water absorption than normal coarse and fine aggregates, respectively. The density of RCAs was about 20% less than normal aggregates, and, hence, the density of RCA concrete was about 8–13.5% less than normal aggregate concrete. The use of RCA instead of normal aggregates reduced the compressive and splitting tensile strengths in both normal and high strength concrete. The reduction in the splitting tensile strength was more pronounced than for the compressive strength. However, both strengths could be improved by incorporating silica fume and/or normal fine aggregates of 0–2 mm size in the RCA concrete mixture. The positive effect of the contribution of normal sand of 0–2 mm in RCA concrete is more pronounced in the compressive strength of a normal strength concrete and in the splitting tensile strength of high strength concrete. In addition, some equation predictions of the splitting tensile strength from compressive strength are recommended for both normal and RCA concretes.     

Yield strength in submicrovolumes of single crystals

The specificity of the transition from elastic to elastoplastic deformation in defect-free single crystals during the localization of the deformation in a submicron region has been studied by nanoindentation. A sharp transition from elastic to elastoplastic deformation has been observed in tested single crystals at depths of about 20–50 nm. To define the yield strength using the nanoindentation data, the stressed-strained state in the contact region has been analyzed. It has been shown that the yield strength in submicrovolumes of single crystals is tens-hundreds times higher than that at the macroscopic level and approaches the value of the theoretical shear strength. A mechanism of the transition from elastic to elastoplastic deformation has been discussed in the framework of the phenomenological model of the nucleation of dislocations. The transition has been induced by the homogeneous nucleation of dislocations in a contact.     

Concrete with ceramic waste aggregate

Use of hazardous industrial wastes in concrete-making will lead to greener environment. In ceramic industry about 30% production goes as waste, which is not recycled at present. In this study an attempt has been made to find the suitability of the ceramic industrial wastes as a possible substitute for conventional crushed stone coarse aggregate. Experiments were carried out to determine the compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths and the modulus of elasticity of concrete with ceramic waste coarse aggregate and to compare them with those of conventional concrete made with crushed stone coarse aggregate. The properties of the aggregates were also compared. Test results indicate that the workability of ceramic waste coarse aggregate concrete is good and the strength characteristics are comparable to those of the conventional concrete.     

A practical model for efficient anti-fatigue design and selection of metallic materials:Ⅰ.Model building and fatigue strength prediction

The high cost and low efficiency of fatigue tests are bottleneck problem for the anti-fatigue design of metallic materials.For this problem,a theoretical fatigue model is proposed in this study,the possible applications have also been discussed.Specific results would be introduced in two serial papers,in which the first paper focuses on the model building and the applications on fatigue strength prediction;the second paper put emphasis on the influencing factors of the model parameters and the applications on fatigue strength improvement.In this first paper,a theoretical model is proposed considering both the strength and plastic restrictions of fatigue strength.As the model builds up a brief relationship among yield strength(Y),tensile strength(T)and fatigue strength(F),it is named as the Y-T-F model.Through the verification with fatigue strength data covering various kinds of metallic materials and loading condi-tions,this Y-T-F model exhibits both generality and accuracy.With the Y-T-F model,the efficient fatigue strength prediction could be conducted by brief linear fitting and calculation,just through yield strength,tensile strength and several known fatigue strength data.Moreover,through its deduced Y-F model,the analytical formula of fatigue strength continuously changing with materials strengthening can be obtained,as well as the maximum value of fatigue strength and corresponding critical yield strength.In summary,the Y-T-F model would be useful for reducing the fatigue tests,thus providing new possibilities on the efficient anti-fatigue design and selection of metallic materials.

强度理论的发展和展望

强度是各种地上、地下、水下和上天结构的共同的最基本要求。强度理论是研究材料在复杂应力下屈服和破坏规律的学科。由于各种土木、水利、机械、航空、军工等工程结构中的材料,大多处于复杂应力作用下,因此强度理论得到广泛的研究和应用。强度理论是各种工程结构强度计算和设计必需的基础理论。它们也是固体力学、材料强度学研究从弹性到塑性,从弹性到软化或硬化,从弹性到脆塑性,以及从线性到非线性的开始。对材料在复杂应力状态下强度理论(屈服准则、破坏准则等)的发展进行了总结。给出了 80 多种准则的方程式,反映出强度理论研究的“百花齐放,百家争鸣”。讨论了各种准则的分类和它们之间的关系,以及在研究和工程应用中的合理选择破坏准则问题。还总结了三大系列强度理论、统一屈服准则、统一强度理论和其他各种强度理论。 最后讨论了强度理论的发展展望,包括:真三轴试验和假三轴试验;强度理论的经济效益;各向异性材料和复合材料的破坏准则;多孔隙材料和多相材料的破坏准则;其它各种特殊材料的强度理论;安定性、多轴疲劳、蠕变、损伤、断裂和相关现象;强度理论的计算机程序实施和角点奇异性;特殊环境下的强度理论问题;强度理论的美;强度理论研究的不同层次。 在连续介质和工程应用的框架下

聚合物改性砂浆界面粘接特性的研究

根据聚合物改性砂浆不同的界面破坏形式,提出了表征界面粘接特性的内聚强度和界面结合强度概念,并通过二者的总体宏现效应-粘接强度试验探讨了乙烯-醋酸乙酸共聚物、双级配填料和水泥对砂浆内聚强度和界面结合强度的影响.试验表明,在本试验务件下乙烯-醋酸乙酸共聚物的最佳掺量范围为1.5%～3.5%.当聚合物掺量低于3.5%时,随着聚合物掺量的增加,聚合物改性砂浆的粘接强度增大,破坏形式为内聚破坏;当聚合物掺量高于3.5%时,聚合物改性砂浆界面的结合强度降低,导致粘接强度降低,破坏形式为界面破坏.具有合适配比的双级配填料可增强砂浆粘接强度,但大粒径填料的增加会降低砂浆与基材界面的结合强度,导致砂浆的粘接强度降低,在本试验条件下填料A/填料B的比例取1:2为宜.聚合物改性砂浆的粘接强度随水泥掺量的增加而增大,并在掺量为30%时出现拐点,故在本试验条件下水泥掺量取30%较佳.

Study of adhesion characteristics of different bitumen–aggregate combinations using bitumen bond strength test

The resistance of asphalt pavements to traffic loading and environmental deterioration depends on the mechanical coupling of the selected bitumen–aggregate material, bitumen–aggregate interfacial properties, and cohesion of bitumen. Studies have shown that bitumen–aggregate bond strength strongly depends on the composition of the two components, and the extent of exposure to moisture. For satisfactory performance of bituminous pavements, there is a need to choose suitable combinations of bitumen and aggregate materials. This paper evaluates the adhesion of different bitumen–aggregate combinations in dry and wet conditions in the form of pull-off tensile strength using bitumen bond strength (BBS) test. Tests were carried out after conditioning the selected combinations for 24, 48, and 72 h. The results indicated that the bond strength reduces with the passage of time for the samples exposed to moisture while it increases if samples are left in the dry condition. Results show that the strength values are also affected by the aggregates’ nature. Samples containing basic aggregates showed good results in comparison to the acidic aggregates under moisture conditioning. Significance of aggregates type, bitumen type, curing condition, and curing time on pull-off tensile strength of bitumen–aggregate samples was also studied. Curing condition showed maximum significance on bond strength.     

Characterization of strength properties of thin polycrystalline silicon films for MEMS applications

The aim of this work is to characterize the strength properties of polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) with the use of tensile and bending test specimens. The strength of thin polysilicon films with different geometry, size and stress concentrations has been measured and correlated with the effective size of the specimen and its stress distribution. The test results are evaluated using a probabilistic strength approach based on the weakest link theory with the use of STAU software. The use of statistic methods of strength prediction of polysilicon test structures with a complex geometry and loading based on test values for standard material tests specimen has been evaluated.     

Use of tensorial polynomial strength function for strength prediction in laminated polymeric composites

It has been shown recently that a strength function, expressed by a tensorial polynomial for an anisotropic material, can be only of the form

F₄(σ) + F₂(σ) + F₁(σ) ≤ 1

where F_i(σ) are the respective polynomials of order i of the σ tensor components. Some further work in this field is now presented. It will be seen that a notable simplification has been achieved, bringing down the initial number of components of an 8th rank tensor from 3⁸ = 6561 to a more managable number of 42 for orthotropic materials and 11 for the planar case. It is also shown that the three F_i(σ) polynomials cannot exist simulataneously, leading either to the known Tsai and Wu proposal or a new tensorial form. Some considerations to strength theory for isotropic materials are given as well. Finally, applicability of strength theories for composite laminates is discussed, with some suggestions for practical use.
