With the expansion of Arctic route, safety ship crossing area in light low temperature and ice has become focus, especially with regards to ship’s structure. The mechanical properties material making up structure may not be suitable for environment. A series quasi-static dynamic tests were performed investigate behaviour EH36 steel, which is used build ships, at temperatures ranging from 20 °C ...

We study three-dimensional finite transient deformations of transparent poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA)/adhesive/polycarbonate (PC) laminates impacted at low speed by a hemispherical nosed rigid cylinder using the commercial finite element (FE) software LS-DYNA. The two glassy polymers PMMA and PC are modeled as thermo-elasto-visco-plastic materials by using the constitutive relation proposed b...

The floating plastic debris along the Arabian coast of the Red Sea was sampled by using surface-trawling plankton nets. A total of 120 sampling sites were spread out over the near-shore waters along 1,500 km of coastline during seven cruises performed during 2016 and 2017. Plastic debris, dominated by millimeter-sized pieces, was constituted mostly of fragments of rigid objects (73%) followed b...

neither damage mechanics model nor elastoplastic constitutive law can solely describe the behavior of concrete satisfactorily. in fact, they both fail to represent proper unloading slopes during cyclic loading. to overcome the disadvantages of pure plastic models and pure damage approaches, the combined effects need to be considered. in this regard, various classes of plastic-damage models have...

in this paper, dynamical behavior of the delay mechanism of a special projectile controller is studied, using 3d finite element simulation. the controller considered here is among of high-acceleration mechanical controllers. due to high linear and angular accelerations of the projectile and also explosion risk, experimental investigation is very limited and almost impossible. so, numerical simu...

The development of yielded or failure zone due to an engineering construction is a subject of study in different disciplines. In Petroleum engineering, depletion from and injection of gas into a porous rock can cause development of a yield zone around the reservoir. Studying this phenomenon requires elasto-plastic analysis of geomaterial, in this case the porous rocks. In this study, which is a...

Digital Image Correlation is used to study the micromechanics of a multi-contact interface formed between a rough elastomer and a smooth glass surface. The in-plane elastomer deformation is monitored during the incipient sliding regime, i.e. the transition between static and sliding contact. As the shear load is increased, an annular slip region, in coexistence with a central stick region, is f...

OBJECTIVE Plastic bronchitis is an unusual condition in children, associated with formation of mucofibrinous casts and mucous plugging of the tracheobronchial tree. Given that this illness is part of the differential diagnosis of acute respiratory failure, early treatment is important for improved prognosis. The aim of this report is to describe a case of plastic bronchitis in a child with alph...

Double-roll rotary forging is an emerging plastic forming technology based on forging. Owing to the advantages of labor saving, small eccentric load, low noise and vibration, good uniformity, high surface quality, material it very promising for fabrication large-diameter thin-walled disc. To date, a few relevant researches double-roll metal discs have been reported, mechanisms process disc work...
