Horizontal Bulk Material Pressure in Silo Subjected to Impulsive Load

Failure mechanisms in composite panels subjected to underwater impulsive loads

This work examines the performance of composite panels when subjected to underwater impulsive loads. The scaled fluid–structure experimental methodology developed by Espinosa and co-workers was employed. Failure modes, damage mechanisms and their distributions were identified and quantified for composite monolithic and sandwich panels subjected to typical blast loadings. The temporal evolutions...

Gamma type random field for silo pressure ∗

Measurements show that silo wall pressures exhibit large fluctuations in time and space during discharge of the silo. This observation is important for the design of the silo wall because spatial pressure variations may impose substantial bending moments that otherwise may be small or vanishing due to the carrying ability of the membrane forces in the silo wall. Information about the stochastic...

Pressure and Heat Load in a Lhc Type Cryogenic Vacuum System Subjected to Electron Cloud

The electron cloud is of major concern for most of the storage rings operating with large bunch currents and low bunch spacing. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operated at cryogenic temperature will have to face the electron cloud when running with proton beams. For this reason, the first experimental studies related to the electron cloud in a LHC type cryogenic vacuum system have been launched...

Ultimate Load Capacity and Behavior of Thin-Walled Curved-Steel Square Struts, Subjected to Compressive Load

There have been some experimental tests on hollow curved-steel struts with thin-walled square sections, in order to investigate their general behavior, particularly their capacity for bearing differing loads. One set of square tubes are cold-formed into segments of circular arcs with curvature radii, equal to 4000 mm. Different lengths of curved struts are fabricated so as to cover a practical ...
