A finite element scheme for simulation of welding residual stresses is presented in this paper. Detailed thermal and residual stress analyses for butt-welded and socket-welded pipes are performed using ANSYS and ABAQUS. The calculated distribution of axial stress and hoop stress at welded joint are validated against experimental results. Furthermore, residual stress relaxation under high amplit...

It is necessary to recognize masonry domes’ behavior under gravity loads in order strengthen, restore, and conserve them. The neutral hoop plays a crucial role identifying the dome’s distinguish between its tensile compressive regions. When it comes determining position dome with same brick material, addition curve thickness, support condition located on boundary line significant parameter that...

In order to achieve integrated condition in the girth welding of high pressure natural gas transmission pipelines, the weld zones and its surrounding area should have good mechanical properties. Residual stresses are an important defect especially in the girth welding of the pipeline. In this study, two API X70 steel pipes (with spiral seam weld) of 56 inches outside diameter and 0.780 inch wal...

A model is developed to study the stress generation in a spherical particle subjected to lithium insertion. The model accounts for both the plastic deformation and the coexistence of lithium-poor and lithium-rich phases with a sharp and curved phase boundary. Such twophase and inelastic deformation characteristics often arise during lithiation of crystalline particles with high capacity. A flex...

Lithiation of individual silicon nanoparticles was studied in real time with in situ transmission electron microscopy. A strong size dependence of fracture was discovered; that is, there exists a critical particle diameter of ∼150 nm, below which the particles neither cracked nor fractured upon first lithiation, and above which the particles initially formed surface cracks and then fractured du...

In this paper, we investigate some results on hoop algebras and hyper hoop-algebras. We construct a hoop and a hyper hoop on any countable set. Then using the notion of the fundamental relation we define the fundamental hoop and we show that any hoop is a fundamental hoop and then we construct a fundamental hoop on any non-empty countable set.

Three completely different lines of work have recently led to the conclusion that the magnetorotational instability (MRI) may create a hoop-stress that collimates jets. One argument is based upon consideration that magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, in general, and turbulence driven by the MRI, in particular, is more nearly viscoelastic than it is viscous. Another argument is based upon the disper...

We employ the Airy stress function to derive analytical solutions for plane strain static deformations of a functionally graded (FG) hollow circular cylinder with Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio v taken to be functions of the radius r . For E1 and v1 power law functions of r , and for E1 an exponential but v1 an affine function of r , we derive explicit expressions for stresses and displa...

The study employed the finite element method to develop a validated theoretical model to investigate the distribution of thermal hoop stress around the teeth of a spur gear operating in a filler machine. Three cases of temperature distribution along the radius of a gear tooth were assumed and investigated. The outcome showed that the maximum effective stress occurs at the tip of the gear tooth ...

We present a technique to tailor materials for functionally graded (FG) linear elastic hollow cylinders and spheres to attain through-the-thickness either a constant hoop (or circumferential) stress or a constant in-plane shear stress.
