Steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich panels are composed of two steel plates with low thicknesses and high densities and strengths and one thick layer between both plates with low strength and density known as core that is composed of concrete. Cohesive material-epoxy resin or shear connectors are usually used to connect the plates to the concrete core. SCS sandwich composites are being develope...

Understanding the mechanism of progressive debonding bolts is great significance for underground safety. In this paper, both laboratory experiment and numerical simulation pull-out tests were performed. The experimental test specimens prepared using cement mortar material, a relationship between strength bolt uniaxial compressive (UCS) material specimen was established. locations crack develope...

in this research, the influence of bolt preload on the fatigue strength of 2024-t3 aluminium alloy double lap bolted joints has been studied experimentally and numerically. to do so, three sets of the specimens were prepared and each of them subjected to tightening torque of 1,2.5 and 5 n-m and then fatigue tests were conducted under various cyclic axial load levels. in the numerical method, th...

With the increasing complexity of engineering geological conditions, problem tensile-shear failure bolts is becoming more serious. Accurate modelling performance bolted rough joints subjected to load essential for support design. In this paper, based on theoretical criteria bolt failure, mechanical model Pile element in FLAC3D program modified, and accuracy modified verified by numerical experi...

Based on the FLAC3D numerical software, a roadway excavation and support model was established. The stability of surrounding rock FRP bolt force characteristics in Yuhuasi mining area Jinshandian Iron Mine were analyzed. distribution law plastic zone simulated, deformation simulated. data for 6 months tested site, weak links determined, optimized. Parameters, optimized effect is better, which p...

OBJECTIVES The Sliding Hip Screw (SHS) is commonly used to treat trochanteric hip fractures. Fixation failure is a devastating complication requiring complex revision surgery. One mode of fixation failure is lag screw cut-out which is greatest in unstable fracture patterns and when the tip-apex distance of the lag screw is > 25 mm. The X-Bolt Dynamic Hip Plating System (X-Bolt Orthopaedics, Dub...

For many years U.S. design codes modeled the design values of a multiple-bolt joint as the design value of a single-bolt connection multiplied by the number of bolts. The provisions were based on research conducted by Trayer (1932) who observed an equal distribution of load among bolts. This was despite the fact that research conducted as early as in the late 19 century suggested an uneven load...

this paper presents the results of the assembly process of a gasketed bolted flanged pipe joint for two different bolt tightening strategies, i.e. asme and industrial using torque control of preload method.  the final clamping force is achieved in four and five passes in asme and industrial strategy respectively. axial bolt stress variation, at the end of each pass, individual bolt bending beha...

Determination of the local interlaminar stress distribution in a laminate with a bolt-filled hole is helpful for optimal bolted joint design, due to the three-dimensional (3D) nature of the stress field near the bolt hole. A new interlaminar stress distribution phenomenon induced by the bolt-head and clamp-up load, which occurs in a filled-hole composite laminate, is investigated. In order to e...

Dynamic resource scaling enables provisioning extra resources during peak loads and saving energy by reclaiming those resources during off-peak times. Scaling the number of CPU cores is particularly valuable as it allows power savings during low-usage periods. Current systems perform scaling with a slow hotplug mechanism, which was primarily designed to remove or replace faulty cores. The high ...
