in this paper, collapse behavior of simple and reinforced thin-walled channel- section beams, subjected to three- point bending, is investigated. many simple channel- section beams of different geometry and some reinforced ones were tested, and their strengths after collapse were obtained thoroughly. since the available theories in this area are complicated and little attention has been paid to...

It has been documented that AE signals propagate in thin plates as extensional and flexural plate modes. This was demonstrated using simulated AE sources (pencil lead breaks) by Gorman [1] on thin aluminum and gr/ep composite plates and by Gorman and Prosser [2] on thin aluminum plates. A typical signal from a pencil lead break source which identifies these two modes is shown in Figure 1. AE si...

Formation of the ventricular system begins at the time the neural groove closes to form a neural tube. Fluid is present within the tube, even before the choroid plexus anlage appears. This fluid serves as a structural support for the tube, as well as a pathway for diffusion of metabolites prior to the formation of blood vessels. In the small, thin-walled fetal brain, fluid movement is character...

The tubed vortex reducer in the axial compressor can destroy disk cavity, by a thin-walled tube, to reduce total pressure loss. tube may suffer from vibration problems, such as flutter and forced vibration, which are closely related aerodynamic damping. In this paper, energy method influence coefficient used study damping of tube. Based on modal characteristics, steady unsteady flow characteris...

This study proposed a prediction formula for the torsional strength enabling to reflect the tensile strength of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) beams based upon the thin-walled tube theory. The remarkable ductile behavior of UHPC can also be attributed to the steel fiber reinforcement. This feature must be considered to provide rational explanation of the torsional behavior of UHPC struc...

THE observation that small pressure disturbances could be induced in the brachial artery and readily detected on radial arterial pressure records prompted the study of induced waves of two general types, impact transients' and forced sinusoidal waves. This report describes the method we have used to study "impact" waves and indicates the general nature of our findings. The interpretation of pul...

Tube flaring process involves a conical tool of certain length which is displaced to get an end flared tube, utilized form tight seal between pipes or tubes. refers kind forging often cold working operation. The tube forming widely used in several industries condenser pipes, car seat structures, exhaust piping, etc. Thin-walled tubes were automobiles reduce the total weight for better performan...

this study aimed to investigate the effects of stiffeners on buckling of thin cylindrical shells under uniform axial compression. to this end, more than 300 finite element models of stiffened cylindrical shells were prepared. the variables considered are shell thickness, number, dimension and the location of the vertical and horizontal stiffeners as well as circular symmetrical imperfections. r...

The use of thin-walled structures as impact energy absorbers are well known. thin aluminum cylinder tube is a good absorber. However, the energy-absorbing design must also have sufficient toughness. In this research, we made modifications to improve performance tube. cylinder's modification prepared by adding four grooves along wall in axial direction. Numerical modeling was carried out using f...

graph theory based methods are powerful means for representing structural systems so that their geometry and topology can be understood clearly. the combination of graph theory based methods and some metaheuristics can offer effective solutions for complex engineering optimization problems. this paper presents a charged system search (css) algorithm for the free shape optimizations of thin-wall...
