Failure behaviour of preloaded API line pipe threaded connections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper reports on numerical and experimental work concerning the fatigue behaviour and sealing capacity of threaded pipe connections (1” API Line Pipe). Numerical simulations are performed using Abaqus® in combination with ThreadGen©.

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.

Testing the Strength of Buried Surface Hoar Weak Layers Under Combined Compression and Shear Loading

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
We experimentally determined the multiaxial strength of weak layers of buried surface hoar using displacement‐controlled tests under combined normal and shear loading on a custom testing machine.

The development of a universal diagnostic probe system for Tokamak fusion test reactor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR), the largest such facility in the U.S., is discussed with respect to instrumentation in general and mechanisms in particular. The design philosophy and detailed implementation of a universal probe mechanism for TFTR

Universal Gripper for Industrial Manipulation With Enhanced Rigid Mechanics and Self‐Adaptable Fingers

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
An enhanced universal gripper combining rigid mechanics with self‐adaptable fingers is presented for industrial automation. The novel six‐bar linkage with integrated compliant pad eliminates mechanical interference while enabling passive shape adaptation.

Safety envelope for load tolerance of structural element design based on multi-stage testing

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016
Structural elements, such as stiffened panels and lap joints, are basic components of aircraft structures. For aircraft structural design, designers select predesigned elements satisfying the design load requirement based on their load-carrying ...

Effect of Stress Rotation on the Strength and Deformation of Laboratory Prepared Clay Samples

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 1989
The behaviour of laboratory prepared kaolin clay samples has been studied using triaxial series on normally and overconsolidated soil samples with various degrees of anisotropy.

Systematic Exploration of 3D Concrete Printing Parameters for Conformal Printing on Sloped Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A conformal slicing algorithm is developed for robotic 3D concrete printing (3DCP) on sloped surfaces as a first step toward printing slab‐on‐grade foundations on uneven terrain. Systematic experiments quantify the effects of nozzle speed, extrusion rate, and toolpath direction on filament dimension and stability.

Problems involving combined loading [PDF]

open access: yes
The first problem was to determine the capability of a ground support equipment (GSE) rack knee bracket for handling a spacelab rack. The geometric center of gravity was calculated for the upper and lower part of the rack and found to be in the center of

Lamp reliability studies for improved satellite rubidium frequency standard [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
In response to the premature failure of Rb lamps used in Rb atomic clocks onboard NAVSTAR GPS satellites experimental and theoretical investigations into their failure mechanism were initiated.
