Pipe Manufacturing

Application of strain based design to pipelines in arctic or seismic areas has recently been recognized as important. So far, there has been much study performed on tensile strain limit and compressive strain limit. However, the relationship between bending buckling (compressive strain limit) and tensile strain limit has not been discussed. A model using actual stress strain curves suggests that the tensile strain limit increases as Y/T rises under uniaxial tensile stress because a pipe manufacturer usually raises TS instead of lowering YS to achieve low Y/T. Under bending of a pipe with a high D/t, an increase in compressive strain on intrados of a bent pipe at the maximum bending moment (ε-cp*) improves the tensile strain limit because the tensile strain limit is controlled by the onset of buckling or ε-cp* which is increased by lowering Y/T. On the other hand, under bending of a pipe with a low D/t, the tensile strain limit may not be influenced by improvement of buckling behavior because tensile strain on the extrados is already larger than the tensile limit at ε-cp*. Finally, we argue that the balance of major linepipe properties is important. Efforts other than the strict demands for pipe properties are also very important and inevitable to improve the strain capacity of a pipeline.

Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts

Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) creates compressive and tensile strain in the periodontal ligament, causing circulation disorders. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) has been shown to be primarily stabilised by compression, but not hypoxia in periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF) during mechanical strain, which are key regulators of OTM. This study aimed to elucidate the role of heparan sulfate integrin interaction and downstream kinase phosphorylation for HIF-1α stabilisation under compressive and tensile strain and to which extent downstream synthesis of VEGF and prostaglandins is HIF-1α-dependent in a model of simulated OTM in PDLF. PDLF were subjected to compressive or tensile strain for 48 h. In various setups HIF-1α was experimentally stabilised (DMOG) or destabilised (YC-1) and mechanotransduction was inhibited by surfen and genistein. We found that HIF-1α was not stabilised by tensile, but rather by compressive strain. HIF-1α stabilisation had an inductive effect on prostaglandin and VEGF synthesis. As expected, HIF-1α destabilisation reduced VEGF expression, whereas prostaglandin synthesis was increased. Inhibition of integrin mechanotransduction via surfen or genistein prevented stabilisation of HIF-1α. A decrease in VEGF expression was observed, but not in prostaglandin synthesis. Stabilisation of HIF-1α via integrin mechanotransduction and downstream phosphorylation of kinases seems to be essential for the induction of VEGF, but not prostaglandin synthesis by PDLF during compressive (but not tensile) orthodontic strain.

The paper makes a comprehensive study on the sensitivity of a new type strain sensor named polymer-matrix carbon fiber smart layer. The sensitivity to tensile strain was gained by a uniaxial tension test. By a three-point bending test on a FRP bar stuck by the smart layer, the sensitivity to compressive strain was revealed and a lower gauge factor was obtained compared to the sensitivity to tensile strain. In addition, a pure shearing test was designed, revealing the sensitivity to shear strain.

The effects of biaxial strain parallel to the (001) plane on the electronic structures and optical properties of Ge are calculated using the first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential method based on density functional theory. The screened-exchange local-density approximation function was used to obtain more reliable band structures, while strain was changed from −4% to [Formula: see text]4%. The results show that the bandgap of Ge decreases with the increase of strain. Ge becomes a direct-bandgap semiconductor when the tensile strain reaches to 2%, which is in good agreement with the experimental results. The density of electron states of strained Ge becomes more localized. The tensile strain can increase the static dielectric constant distinctly, whereas the compressive strain can decrease the static dielectric constant slightly. The strain makes the absorption band edge move toward low energy. Both the tensile strain and compressive strain can significantly increase the reflectivity in the range from 7 eV to 14 eV. The tensile strain can decrease the optical conductivity, but the compressive strain can increase the optical conductivity significantly.

We investigate the influence of hydrostatic/biaxial strain on the formation, migration, and clustering of vacancy in tungsten (W) using a first-principles method, and show that the vacancy behaviors are strongly dependent on the strain. Both a monovacancy formation energy and a divacancy binding energy decrease with the increasing of compressive hydrostatic/biaxial strain, but increase with the increasing of tensile strain. Specifically, the binding energy of divacancy changes from negative to positive when the hydrostatic (biaxial) tensile strain is larger than 1.5% (2%). These results indicate that the compressive strain will facilitate the formation of monovacancy in W, while the tensile strain will enhance the attraction between vacancies. This can be attributed to the redistribution of electronic states of W atoms surrounding vacancy. Furthermore, although the migration energy of the monovacancy also exhibits a monotonic linear dependence on the hydrostatic strain, it shows a parabola with an opening down under the biaxial strain. Namely, the vacancy mobility will always be promoted by biaxial strain in W, almost independent of the sign of strain. Such unexpected anisotropic strain-enhanced vacancy mobility originates from the Poisson effect. On the basis of the first-principles results, the nucleation of vacancy clusters in strained W is further determined with the object kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. It is found that the formation time of tri-vacancy decrease significantly with the increasing of tensile strain, while the vacancy clusters are not observed in compressively strained W, indicating that the tensile strain can enhance the formation of voids. Our results provide a good reference for understanding the vacancy behaviors in W.

Abstract Ceramic aerogels are attractive for many applications due to their ultralow density, high porosity, and multifunctionalities but are limited by the typical trade-off relationship between mechanical properties and thermal stability when used in extreme environments. In this work, we designed and synthesized a unique ceramic nanofibrous aerogels with three-dimensional (3D) interwoven crimped-nanofibre structures that endow the aerogels with superior mechanical performances and high thermal stability. These ceramic aerogels were synthesized by a direct and facile route, 3D reaction electrospinning. They displayed robust structural stability with structure-derived mechanical ultra-stretchability up to 100% tensile strain and superior restoring capacity up to 40% tensile strain, 95% bending strain and 60% compressive strain, high thermal stability from -196 to 1400°C, repeatable stretchability at working temperatures up to 1300 ℃, and a low thermal conductivity of 0.0228 W m−1 K−1 in air. This work should enable the innovative design of high-performance ceramic aerogels for various applications.
