Stress State of Bent Buried Pipelines

The authors consider edge effects in buried pipelines that occur in the region of joining of a straight buried pipe and a bent insert (factory bend, elbow, or an elastically bent segment). The action of those effects results in the appearance of additional bending moments, which are proportional to the difference between the axial force in an infinite straight pipeline and that in a closed-end pipe, and depend on the geometrical parameters of the pipeline and physical-mechanical characteristics of the soil. Specific examples of analysis of elastic interaction of a pipeline with the soil for pipe bends with various radii of the bend arc are offered. It is shown that additional bending stresses may exceed appreciably the stresses from the axial force, and therefore, they should be taken into account when designing and building pipelines. The solution for an elastically bent segment has been obtained and analyzed.     

具有初曲率板弯曲的边界元分析

由于具有初曲率板弯曲问题的控制微分方程较复杂，直接求解原问题基本解推导边界积分方程较为困难。本文通过引入等效荷载，将此问题的控制微分方程化成与普通板弯曲基本方程形式相同的微分方程，利用一般求解板弯曲问题的边界元法迭代求解，建立了分析具有初曲率板弯曲问题的边界元法。算例表明本方法理论准确、精度良好。

MICROSTRUCTURE AND FATIGUE PROPERTIES OF A WELDED DUPLEX STAINLESS STEEL

Abstract— In response to the increasing structural applications in duplex steels for welded structures, fatigue behaviour of a SAF 2304 grade duplex stainless steel was investigated, considering both the base metal and GTAW welded joints. Fatigue curves and fatigue limits under rotary bending fatigue were obtained. The study focused attention on the microstructural features of fatigue crack propagation of the two series of experiments, thereby permitting an evaluation of the tortuous crack path of welded joints and the mechanisms related to threshold microstructural barriers.

关于离散Kirchhoff薄板单元的研究

本文对离散Kirchhoff薄板单元进行了深入的分析。文中将用于建立离散Kirchhoff单元的泛函分为三部分,分别用应变第一不变量、绕Z轴的转动偶和有关的单元边界上的积分来表达,并阐明了各部分的作用。其中单元的收敛性质完全由第一、三部分所决定,而第二部分则控制了单元的计算精度。在此基础上,文中建议了一种提高离散Kirchhoff单元精度的新方法,并由此推导了一个任意四边形离散Kirchhoff单元。计算表明,本文的改进单元与原来的离散Kirchhoff单元及其改进型相比,计算精度有了显著提高。     

Failure of Al-Mg-Si alloys in bending

The bendability of two Al-Mg-Si heat-treatable alloys was studied and compared with the performance of a non-heat-treatable Al-Mg alloy. A semi-guided wrap-bend tester consistent with ASTM E290 was used to obtain minimum bend radii and produce consistent bend radii for analysis of fracture mechanisms. Bending failure in these alloys was based on a surface roughening, or orange peel, process where the outer surface grains separated and produced depressions on the surface of the material. These depressions acted as notches that increased local stresses and eventually caused failure. The fracture was intergranular in nature, with a jagged crack progressing through the thickness of the material. Several factors that affect the bendability of AA6xxx alloys are quantified in this study. Critical elements regarding natural aging, artificial aging, deformation, and composition are discussed. A parameter of specific interest is the inclusion of copper in these alloys. Copper was added in an effort to increase the artificial aging response of selected alloys. This is of particular importance in the automotive industry because artificial aging occurs during the painting process, but adequate time and temperature is not provided to fully strengthen the alloys. It is believed by some automotive manufacturers that the inclusion of copper can have a negative effect on formability and bendability.     

Buckling analysis for delaminated composites using plate bending elements based on higher‐order zig‐zag theory

A finite element based on the efficient higher‐order zig‐zag theory with multiple delaminations is developed. The bending part of the formulation is constructed from the concept of DKQ element. Unlike conventional elements, a developed element has its reference in the bottom surface which simplifies zig‐zag terms on formulation. Exact patch solutions are developed on elements which have the bottom reference system. The present element passes proper bending patch tests in the arbitrary mesh configurations in isotropic materials. Zig‐zag formulation is adopted to model laminated plates with multiple delaminations. To assess the accuracy and efficiency of the present element based on higher‐order zig‐zag theory with multiple delaminations, the linear buckling problem of laminated plates with multiple delaminations has been analysed. The results have been compared with three‐dimensional elasticity solutions. The present element works as an efficient tool for analysing the behaviour of the laminated composites with multiple delaminations. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stress Concentration Factors for a Circular Hole in Curved Beams Under Bending Loads

Abstract: As a contribution to the field of stress concentration studies, the case of circular hole in curved bar elements under bending is hereby studied. Trend values of stress concentration factors (SCF) are presented based on selected variables of the problem for two critical hole locations. The results will help to identify an SCF law for practical use by applying the statistical method of regression analysis. Two approximations obtained by means of computational methods are compared with those obtained by photoelastic experimental method.

The paper reports the experimental investigation data for the effect that nonparallel faces of bars under impact exert on the parameters of longitudinal and bending strain waves generated in the bars. The changes in stress magnitudes in the bar under impact with growing angle of the impact faces offset are described. __________ Translated from Fiziko-Tekhnicheskie Problemy Razrabotki Poleznykh Iskopaemykh, No. 6, pp. 73–78, November–December, 2006.
