A series of physical modeling tests were conducted by means of a beam type geotechnical centrifuge machine in order to investigate the drainage impact on the slope failure mechanism under centrifugal acceleration. Meanwhile, the phenomenon of stress redistribution in undercut slopes and the formation of arching effect were studied. For this purpose, a poorly graded sandy soil (Silica sand No. 6...

Cropping is a cutting process whereby opposing aligned blades create a shearing failure by exerting opposing forces normal to the surfaces of a metal sheet or plate. Building on recent efforts to quantify cropping, this paper formulates a plane strain elastic–plastic model of a plate subject to shearing action by opposing rigid platens. Shear failure at the local level is modeled by a cohesive ...

To study the dynamic shear deformation and failure properties of Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) alloy and Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-1Cr-1Fe (Ti-55511) alloy, a series of forced shear tests on flat hat shaped (FHS) specimens for the two investigated materials was performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar setup. The evolution of shear deformation was monitored by an ultra-high-speed camera (Kirana-05M). Localized sh...

Abstract This study describes a set of recommendations to improve the precision shear and punching capacity predictions for one-way slabs under concentrated loads, regardless governing failure mechanism, using ABNT NBR 6118:2014 code provisions. For this purpose, database 143 test results was developed, including with different support conditions loading layouts that failed by mechanisms: shear...

statement of the problem: porcelain laminate veneer is an esthetic restoration used as an alternative to full veneer crowns and requires minimal tooth preparation. in restoration with porcelain laminate veneers, both the longevity of the laminate and conservation of the sound tooth structure are imperative. purpose: the present study aimed to investigate the shear bond strength of porcelain lam...

A novel 2-bar/double-shear impact (2B/2SI) loading technique is used to study the dynamic mode II (shear) fracture characteristics of Ti–6Al–4V. The new specimen design, be in combination with a standard split Hopkinson pressure bar, circumvent classical limitations associated conventional one-point methods. This paper presents combined experimental-numerical approach determining toughness Ti–6...

In this paper, the effect of ring type stiffeners on Vierendeel mechanism perforated beams with various opening shapes is investigated. causes to fail four plastic hinges that occur in vicinity large and usually isolated web openings. The practical are used study increase mechanical strength beams. effects stiffener thickness height analyzed for different diameter ratios. A beam profile UB457 ×...

In this paper, scouring shear failure theory is optimized based on the gangue slope near thermal power field in Baiguo Town, Panzhou City, Guizhou Province. Based particle flow PFC (particle code) 3D fluid–solid coupling method, mechanism of ditch no. 5 comprehensively analyzed from perspectives mode, displacement, motion track, and stress–strain. We consider respect (c, φ); dominated by two ty...
