Experimental densities for compressed R134a

This paper reports densities of compressed R134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) determined by using a contiuously weighed pycnometer at 20 K intervals between 180 and 380 K at pressures from slightly greater than the vapour pressure to 70 MPa. The results are accurate to within ±0.1%. Saturated liquid densities derived by extrapolation from the experimental values agree with other reported values to within ±0.3%.     

An alternative approach to weight function evaluation for an orthotropic crack

The use of the analytically decoupled near-tip displacement solutions as an alternative approach, is presented in this paper for the efficient finite element evaluation of the decoupled weight functions for an orthotropic 2-D crack. This alternative approach has been validated by directly comparing the prior weight function results with a symmetric mesh approach in the crack-tip neighborhood, and indirectly by comparing the calculated stress intensity factors (K_I(II)) values using the computed weight functions with available K_I(II) solutions of the 2-D mixed mode orthotropic cracks. In addition, this approach with analytically decoupled near-tip displacement solutions for calculating weight functions at all locations, can facilitate further extension of weight function evaluations to a more general 2-D anisotropic crack.

Influence of lips on thin-walled sections

Turning the free edge of an unstiffened flange inwards or outwards to form a ‘lip’, can substantially improve the local buckling resistance of a member. The lip is the most common type of edge stiffener used in cold-rolled, thin-walled sections. In this paper the behaviour of plate elements of thin-walled sections stiffened by compound lips (i.e. lips which are folded twice to form ‘lips on the lips’) is examined both theoretically and experimentally. An outline of a series of tests on compound edge-stiffened thin-walled sections of various geometries is given and some load-end compression displacement paths are compared with the theoretical predictions. Reasonably good agreement is obtained between the experimental and theoretical results. Comparisons of the theoretical predictions with experimental results of other researchers are also presented in this paper.     

Kinetics of acid toxicity in cultures ofXanthomonas campestris

By adding acetic, pentanoic and octanoic acids to batch cultures ofXanthomonas campestrisa close correlation between the acid concentration and the length of the lag phase and the value of the specific growth rate was obtained. The specific growth rate was largely affected by acid toxicity. As the amount of acetic acid was increased the specific growth rate dropped to 0.08 h⁻¹at 5 m and 0.07 h⁻¹at 9.99 m . Pentanoic acid produced a decrease of the specific growth rate to 0.06 h⁻¹at 3.92 m . Octanoic acid produced a greater effect on the specific growth rate. At 0.69 m the specific growth rate was reduced to 0.09 h⁻¹and then it dropped to 0.06 h⁻¹at 1.39 m . The lag phase length was increased as the result of the activation of the tolerance mechanism. The octanoic acid produced a 40 h lag in the culture containing 1.39 m total acid concentration. The cells in contact with 0.69 m octanoic acid had a lag phase of 5 h, twice that obtained in the acid-free cultures. Acetic and pentanoic acids at 9.99 and 3.92 m , increased the lag phases to 30 and 6 h, respectively.     

Influence of mixed-mode loading on fatigue-crack propagation

The subject of fatigue which comprises crack nucleation, crack propagation and final failure or fracture has, over the years, been the subject of numerous theoretical and experimental studies. These studies have highlighted the extrinsic influence of mixed-mode loading in governing the fatigue behavior of a wide spectrum of engineering materials and structures. In this paper we review the basic criteria and models that have been proposed and used to predict crack behavior and response for structures containing large cracks and subject to mixed-mode loading. Since the aspect of crack growth is the focus of this review, the effects or contributions from intrinsic microstructural effects are largely excluded. Specific criteria discussed are the maximum tangential stress, minimum strain-energy density and the maximum energy-release rate criteria. The use of these criteria to predict the behavior of structures is examined based on results published in the open literature. The characteristics and implications of each criterion are examined and discussed with particular relevance to threshold conditions on crack growth, direction of crack growth and crack-growth rate. The limitations of each criterion are highlighted.     

Stress function with finite magnitude of stress concentration around an interface crack

A new mathematical model for study of an interface crack between two dissimilar elastic half planes is proposed. A process zone is formed along the interface between the physical crack and the continuous part. Both the crack opening (and sliding) displacement with a smooth shape and the finite magnitude of stress concentration appear in this zone. The analytical model is expressed by closed elastic solutions using complex variables, but with no oscillations at the crack tip.
