Abstract The paper describes the intention of the authors to determine whether it is possible to predict relative belt edge endurance for radial passenger car tires using the finite element method. Three groups of tires with different belt edge configurations were tested on a fleet test in an attempt to validate predictions from the finite element results. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite element analysis was first used to determine if the results from such an analysis, with emphasis on the shear deformations between the belts, could be used to predict a relative ranking for belt edge endurance. It is shown that such an analysis can lead to erroneous conclusions. A three-dimensional analysis in which tires are modeled under free rotation and static vertical loading was performed next. This approach resulted in an improvement in the quality of the correlations. The differences in the predicted values of various stress analysis parameters for the three belt edge configurations are studied and their implication on predicting belt edge endurance is discussed.

Background Femoral head collapse and coxa vara lead to internal fixator failure in elderly patients with hip fracture. External fixator application is an optimal choice; however, the existing methods have many disadvantages. Methods Type 31-A1.3 hip fracture models were developed in nine pairs of 1-year-old fresh bovine corpse femur specimens. Each left femur specimen was fixed by a dynamic hip screw (control group), and each right femur specimen was fixed by the slide-poking external fixator (experimental group). Vertical loading and torsion tests were then performed in both groups. Results In the vertical loading experiment, a 1000-N load was implemented. The mean vertical downward displacement of the femoral head in the experimental and control groups was 1.49322 ± 0.116280 and 2.13656 ± 0.166374 mm, respectively. In the torsion experiment, when the torsion was increased to 10.0 Nm, the mean torsion angle in the experimental and control groups was 7.9733° ± 1.65704° and 15.4889° ± 0.73228°, respectively. The slide-poking external fixator was significantly more resistant to compression and rotation than the dynamic hip screw. Conclusion The slide-poking external fixator for hip fractures that was designed and developed in this study can provide sufficient stability to resist compression and rotation in hip fractures.

This paper presents the results of a laboratory study on the at-rest lateral stress and Ko of two artificially cemented sands. A modified oedometer ring was used to measure the lateral stress of cemented and uncemented sands. Test materials were No. 3 Ottawa sand and a marine sand with Portland cement. The specimens were prepared using the method of undercompaction to minimize the influence of specimen preparation on test results. The cement contents were 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0% by the weight of dry sand. The water content of the specimens was 4% of the weight of dry sand and cement. When the sands were cured under zero confining pressure, the test results indicated the following: the at-rest lateral stress in cemented sands decreases significantly with increasing cement content; the relationship between the vertical and at-rest lateral stress is nonlinear and the value of Ko increases with increasing vertical stress; and the lateral stress decreases with sand density and curing period. When the specimens were cured under vertical stress, the value of Ko during the removal of vertical loading increased with both overconsolidation ratio and cement content. Stress history has a significant influence on the behaviour of at-rest lateral stress in cement sands. Key words : cemented sand, Ko, lateral stress, overconsolidation, stress history.

Numerous studies have been conducted on the in plane behavior of masonry infill walls to lateral loading simulating earthquake action on buildings. The present study is focused on a problem that has almost not been studied regarding the vertical (opposed to lateral) in-plane action on these walls. This may be of concern when a supporting column of a multi-storey reinforced concrete frame with infill masonry walls undergoes a severe damage due to an extreme loading such as a strong earthquake, car impact or military or terror action in proximity to the column. The loss of the supporting column may cause a fully or partly progressive collapse to a bare reinforced concrete frame, without infill masonry walls. The presence of the infill masonry walls may restrain the process and prevent the development of a progressive collapse. The aim of the present study is to test the in-plane composite action of Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames with infill masonry walls under vertical loading through laboratory experiments and evaluate the contributions of infill masonry walls, in an attempt to examine the infill masonry wall added resistance to the bare frame under these circumstances. Preliminary results of laboratory tests that have been conducted on reinforced concrete infilled frames without a support at their end, under monotonic vertical loading along that column axis will be presented. The observed damages and failure modes under vertical loading are clearly different from the already known failure modes observed in the case of lateral loading.

The finite element analysis model was built as the real scale for mortar arch framework slope protection, and the displacement and strain at different points were collected by vertical loading pressure. So the mechanical mechanism can be studied, and the analysis was done between calculation results and testing results of solid miniature model. The studying results show that the point on the arch foot is the worst stress place for each arch, and the total displacement increase nonlinear as the distance from the slope top increases, and the bump phenomenon exists in the bottom of slope, the points are likely to be broken.
