Life Calculations for Header – PGV-1000 Steam Generator Connector Weld Joints under NPP Service Conditions

The procedure for calculating the life of header – steam generator connector weld joints is proposed. It allows for running out the material plasticity reserve upon static cyclic elastoplastic loading as well as operating conditions, local stress concentrations, and residual stresses after welding.     

Analysis of the Ductile Strength of Welds Weakened by Notches in Longitudinally Welded Pipes of Large Diameter by the Method of Slip Lines

We study the stressed state of an inhomogeneous welded joint containing an interlayer of a more high-strength material under the action of tensile loads. It is assumed that the contact boundary has a cracklike defect. We deduce analytic dependences of the fracture load on the mechanical inhomogeneity of the joint, thickness of the interlayer, and depth of the defect. The maximum depth of the defect to which the joint is insensitive is established. The proposed theoretical results are innovative and agree with the experimental data obtained for specimens cut out from a pipe of 14KhGS steel.     

Damage mechanism in weldment of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel under creep-fatigue loading

The purpose of this study is to clarify damage process of “Type IV cracking” in weldment of a 2.25Cr-1Mo steel and to propose a micro damage prediction method. From continuous observation under a creep-fatigue test, it was found that spherical shape voids initiated and grew on grain boundaries in fine grain region and these voids grow continuously by changing their shape to crack-like. Both spherical and crack-like void growth rate equations were derived from the proposed void growth model. It was indicated that measured void growth rate under the creep-fatigue loading was well predicted by the growth rate equations.     

The stiffness matrix in elastically articulated rigid-body systems

Discussed in this paper is the Cartesian stiffness matrix, which recently has received special attention within the robotics research community. Stiffness is a fundamental concept in mechanics; its representation in mechanical systems whose potential energy is describable by a finite set of generalized coordinates takes the form of a square matrix that is known to be, moreover, symmetric and positive-definite or, at least, semi-definite. We attempt to elucidate in this paper the notion of “asymmetric stiffness matrices”. In doing so, we show that to qualify for a stiffness matrix, the matrix should be symmetric and either positive semi-definite or positive-definite. We derive the conditions under which a matrix mapping small-amplitude displacement screws into elastic wrenches fails to be symmetric. From the discussion, it should be apparent that the asymmetric matrix thus derived cannot be, properly speaking, a stiffness matrix. The concept is illustrated with an example.     

钻杆接头螺纹退刀尺寸对接头寿命的影响

钻杆接头螺纹退刀尺寸是指外螺纹接头的台肩面到螺纹消失前第一个完整螺纹之间的距离。GB9253．1－88规定退刀尺寸应小于或等于12．7mm内螺纹，钻杆接头内螺纹的锤孔尺寸为16±2mm，以保证内、外螺纹啮合良好。经检测发现，从日本NKK公司进口的所有φ127mm钻杆接头外螺纹退刀尺寸都大于12．7mm，镗孔尺寸为16～18mm。而APISpec7K规定钻杆接头内螺纹最小镗孔尺寸为15．9mm。鉴于此，建议对我国的有关标准作相应修改，与API标准保持一致。

WSP特殊螺纹接头油井管的研制

介绍了WSP特殊螺纹接头的基本结构和设计思想,运用有限元方法,重点论述了密封设计和连接强度设计的方法和准则,并通过全尺寸试验进行了验证。计算和试验结果表明,该接头具有先进的螺纹形式、合理的扭矩台肩和金属/金属密封结构,有效地克服了API圆螺纹和偏梯形螺纹的不足,螺纹达到了与管体等强度,气密封能力达到了管体的内壁屈服压力。研究结果可以为开发更多适合油气田实际的特殊螺纹接头油井管提供参考。     

三种套管接头抗压缩性能研究

针对套管接头抗压缩强度问题，使用全尺寸实物试验的方法对几种不同钢级、不同螺纹形式的套管接头的抗压缩强度进行了对比试验，并借助材料力学和有限元方法对试验结果进行了分析。实物试验中出现了管体失稳和接箍跳扣两种套管接头压缩失效形式。试验结果和分析结果表明，N80、P110钢级材料的压缩屈服强度高于拉伸屈服强度；偏梯形螺纹套管接头的压缩屈服强度比同钢级、同壁厚特殊扣螺纹套管接头低6.7%～7.7%；上扣是否到位，直接影响套管接头部分的抗压缩能力，上扣不到位的特殊螺纹套管接头的抗压缩性能甚至低于偏梯形螺纹接头。同时指出，为了保证上扣质量，不应使用浮动上扣方法，管柱设计中应进行抗压缩强度设计。     

Turbo码概率-代数联合解码算法

Turbo码采用修正的BAHL et al.算法实现解码.这是一种基于软值的概率迭代解码算法.本文在保持Turbo码迭代软解码算法优点的基础上,充分利用Turbo码编码器结构这一确知条件,结合代数解码原理,提出了一种Turbo码概率-代数联合解码算法.该算法结合了概率解码和代数解码的优点,又有效避免了误差传播的发生,使Turbo码的纠错性能在原经典算法的基础上得到进一步的提高.该算法不仅为降低Turbo码的比特误码率和误差地板值提供了一种新的研究途径,而且因其更好的纠错性能而具有十分明显的实用价值.仿真实验结果显示,在比特误码率(BER)为10^-3~10^-4时,与经典Turbo码解码算法相比,采用该算法能获得0.1dB左右的编码增益.
