Stress and strain state of concrete during freezing and thawing cycles

The objective of this work is to calculate the pressures, stresses, and strains induced into moist concrete during freezing and thawing. The applied theory is based on thermodynamics and the linear theory of elasticity. If no additional salts are dissolved in the pore water the inputs needed in the theory are relative humidity and temperature measured in the sample chamber and inside concrete and evaporable water amount in the pore structure. Theoretical results were compared with the test results made with two concretes cured under water or at 96% relative humidity. One of the concretes was air entrained and in the comparison concrete no air-entraining agents were used. In the test cylinders cured under water the largest tensional stresses in freezing occurred on the surface of the test cylinders both in the axial and tangential direction. The largest tensional stress was 2.2 MPa, both in air-entrained and in non air-entrained concretes. The largest tensional stresses in the warming phase took place at the end of the thawing period when the chamber temperature was around +5 °C. Then the maximum tension occurred in the middle of the concrete cylinder in the axial direction of the cylinder. This maximum tensional stress was over 2.5 MPa in the air-entrained concrete cured in the relative humidity of 96%. The thermodynamic pumping effect at the end of the thawing phase in every cycle can increase the pore water amount remarkably if free water or moisture is available on the surface of the structure or in the environment vapor. The thermodynamic pumping effect seems to be remarkably greater and more dangerous in air-entrained concretes.

Two fluid model for two-phase turbulent jets

Eulerian two-fluid models are widely used in nuclear reactor safety and CFD. In these models turbulent diffusion of a dispersed phase must be formulated in terms of the fluctuating interfacial force and the Reynolds stresses. The interfacial force is obtained using the probability distribution function approach by Reeks (1992). This paper is the first application of this force to a case of engineering interest outside homogeneous turbulence. An Eulerian multidimensional two-fluid model for a cylindrical two-phase dispersed particle jet is proposed and compared with experimental data. The averaged conservation equations of mass and momentum are solved for each phase and the turbulent kinetic energy equation is solved for the continuous phase. The turbulent diffusion force and the Reynolds stresses are constituted within the context of the k- model of turbulence. A dissipation term has been added to the k- model for the turbulence modulation by the particles. Once the constitutive relations have been defined, the two-fluid model is implemented in a computational fluid dynamics code. It is shown that when the particles are very small the model is consistent with a convection-diffusion equation for particle transport where the diffusivity is defined according to Taylor's model (Taylor, G.I., 1921. Diffusion by continuous movements. Proc. London Math. Society, A20, pp. 196–211). The two-fluid model is also compared against two experimental data sets. Good agreement between the model and the data is obtained. The sensitivity of the results to various turbulent mechanisms is discussed.

Dynamic deformation behavior of aluminum alloys under high strain rate compressive/tensile loading

Mechanical properties of the materials used for transportations and industrial machinery under high strain rate loading conditions such as seismic loading are required to provide appropriate safety assessment to these mechanical structures. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) technique with a special experimental apparatus can be used to obtain the material behavior under high strain rate loading conditions. In this paper, dynamic deformation behaviors of the aluminum alloys such as A12024-T4, A16061T-6 and A17075-T6 under both high strain rate compressive and tensile loading conditions are determined using the SHPB technique.     

Numerical analysis of stresses and displacements for the Tafjord slide, Norway

Numerical modelling has been used for analyzing stresses and displacements for the very steep and more than 1,000 m high Heggura rock slope near Tafjord, Norway where a disastrous 3 million m³ rock slide occurred in 1934. It is shown that very anisotropic stresses exist near the slope surface and displacements of the remaining slope as result of the 1934 slide have been calculated to up to 210 mm. Such considerable displacements are believed to have a significant impact on the present and future stability of the Heggura slope.     

A Physical Based Method to Predict Spread and Shape during Flat Rolling for Real‐Time Application

A physical based method is developed that gives real‐time solutions for the transverse variations, across the strip width, for the strip stresses and strains during rolling. From this the strip spread and downstream shape defect are predicted for a given variation in the thickness reduction across the width. The method implicitly couples the downstream residual stresses of the strip under tension, due to non‐uniform strip elongations or shape, to the stress field within the roll gap. The case of a parabolic variation in thickness reduction across the strip width is investigated with the sensitivity of shape defect with the non‐uniform reduction predicted, for various strip thicknesses and widths. These results are shown to be consistent with previously published experimental results. The model is therefore useful in predicting the limits of thickness profile change during rolling before shape defects are formed. Furthermore, being an analytical method the prediction of spread and shape defects can be made in real‐time with a minimum of computational cost. The spread model is then coupled to a roll stack deflection model so that the non‐uniform thickness reduction is also calculated for a set of rolling conditions. The full model solution is calculated within several seconds on a PC, making it possible for real‐time application.

A Numerical Study Comparing The Effect on Residual Stresses of Two Different Types of Projectiles During Shot Peening

Shot peening is a widely used technique to improve fatigue life in metallic alloys. This processing technique introduces a subsurface compressive residual stress field through a plastic deformation of the surface caused by the impact of a large number of high-speed projectiles. There are a number of parameters that affect the residual stress field depth and magnitude. The effects of the impact angle, shot speed and shot geometry are currently being researched. In particular, substituting spherical cast shots by cylindrical cut wire shots is an attractive option, especially in terms of cost. The effect of shot geometry on residual stresses, however, needs to be further investigated. Because industrial-scale experimentation is costly and cumbersome, mathematical modeling offers a convenient alternative to carry out this type of research. The present work shows a comparison between the residual stresses generated by the impact of spherical and cylindrical projectiles on a steel substrate. This threedimensional model was developed using ABAQUS finite element commercial software (Release 6.12, Dassault Systémes, France). The results show that cylindrical shots generate residual stress fields that are higher in magnitude than those generated by a spherical shot. However, the residual stress field of cylindrical shots impacting the surface at an oblique angle shows an important degree of asymmetry. This effect is not found when spherical shots impact the surface at the same oblique angle.
