Abstract This paper is a condensation of a comprehensive theory for fatigue failure in rolling bearings. The character of bearing fatigue failures is analyzed, and the effect of the volume of stressed material is assessed by means of modification of Weibull’s statistical theory of failure. The variables affecting bearing capacity are examined, and general formulas are set up relating the variables to the bearing capacity. Unknown exponents in the formulas are evaluated by means of extensive tests, and the final formulas are compared to experimental results.

Nonlinear numerical analysis for the force performance of frame middle joint is processed in this paper with the finite element software of ABAQUS. Compared with experimental results, numerical analysis results are found to be reasonable. Then the influence of factors such as shaped steel ratio and axial-load ratio are contrastively analyzed. The results show that shaped steel ratio has a greater influence on the bearing capacity and hysteretic performance of the structure, but the axial-load ratio has less influence.

PurposeReinforcement of reinforced concrete (RC) beams in-service have always been an important research field, anchoring steel plate in the bottom of the beams is a kind of common reinforcement methods. In actual engineering, the contribution of pavement layer to the bearing capacity of RC beams is often ignored, which underestimates the bearing capacity and stiffness of RC beams to a certain extent. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of pavement layer on the RC beams before and after reinforcement.Design/methodology/approachFirst, static load experiments are carried out on three in-service RC hollow slab beams, meanwhile, nonlinear finite element models are built to study the bearing capacity of them. The nonlinear material and shear slip effect of studs are considered in the models. Second, the finite element models are verified, and the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Last, the finite element models are adopted to carry out the research on the influence of different steel plate thicknesses on the flexural bearing capacity and ductility.FindingsThe experimental results showed that pavement layers increase the flexural capacity of hollow slab beams by 16.7%, and contribute to increasing stiffness. Ductility ratio of SPRCB3 and PRCB2 was 30% and 24% lower than that of RCB1, respectively. The results showed that when the steel plate thickness was 1 mm–6 mm, the bearing capacity of the hollow slab beam increased gradually from 2158.0 kN.m to 2656.6 kN.m. As the steel plate thickness continuously increased to 8 mm, the ultimate bearing capacity increased to 2681.0 kN.m. The increased thickness did not cause difference to the bearing capacity, because of concrete crushing at the upper edge.Originality/valueIn this paper, based on the experimental study, the bearing capacity of hollow beam strengthened by steel plate with different thickness is extrapolated by finite element simulation, and its influence on ductility is discussed. This method not only guarantees the accuracy of the bearing capacity evaluation, but also does not require a large number of samples, and has certain economy. The research results provide a basis for the reinforcement design of similar bridges.

<p>The reliability of the railway superstructure depends, among other things, on the actual fastening of the rail to the sleepers. This structure is extremely dynamically loaded. In the paper, the attention is paid to the flexible Vossloh W14 fastening system with the use of SKL14 tension clamps. These clamps are often damaged by fatigue failures, especially in curves of small radii (R &lt; 400 m). Within the research, fracture areas were identified and a fractographic analysis was performed. The analysis proved fatigue failure and, therefore, an estimation of the service life of the clamps was made. The evaluation was focused on a selected area of railway track where the fatigue-damaged clamps were found. The strain gauges were placed directly on the clamps at critical points and the obtained values were confronted with the experimentally obtained fatigue curve. Based on the presented findings, the service life of the clamps in the selected track was identified.</p>

This paper investigates the axial behavior of slender reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened with concrete filled steel tube (CFST) jacketing technique. It is realized by pouring self-compacting concrete (SCC) into the gap between inner original slender RC columns and outer steel tubes. Nine specimens were prepared and tested to failure under axial compression: a control specimen without strengthening and eight specimens with heights ranging between 1240 and 2140 mm strengthened with CFST jacketing. Experimental variables included four different length-to-diameter (L/D) ratios, three different diameter-to-thickness (D/t) ratios, and three different SCC strengths. The experimental results showed that the outer steel tube provided confinement to the SCC and original slender RC columns and thus effectively improved the behavior of slender RC columns. The failure mode of slender RC columns was changed from brittle failure (concrete peel-off) into ductile failure (global bending) after strengthening. And, the load-bearing capacity, material utilization, and ductility of slender RC columns were significantly enhanced. The strengthening effect of CFST jacketing decreased with the increase of L/D ratio and D/t ratio but showed little variation with higher SCC strength. An existing expression of load-bearing capacity for traditional CFST columns was extended to propose a formula for the load-bearing capacity of CFST jacketed columns, and the predictions showed good agreement with the experimental results.

To study the influence of slenderness on the compressive bearing capacity of autoclaved fly ash perforated brick masonry long columns and provide experimental evidences for making corresponding technical code, compression tests were conducted on 9 autoclaved fly ash perforated brick masonrys long columns of different slenderness. The damage patterns and compression performance are analyzed. The experimental results indicate that compressive capacity decreases proportionally as slenderness increases and the proposed formula of axial compressive bearing capacity for autoclaved fly ash perforated brick masonry columns is given. The nonlinear FEA program ANSYS is also adopted to simulate the behaviors of masonry columns. By comparing results find that the simulated results agree well with the test ones, the rationality and applicability of the model are verified.

For the problem of high-speed rotating centrifuge spindle fracture failures, relevant analyses are conducted from the perspective of microstructure, chemical composition and fracture mechanics by using scanning electron microscopy and related instruments. Experimental results and analyses indicate that the spindle fracture is fatigue failure, mainly caused by cold cracks generated on the journal surfacing. Based on the analysis results, improvements and measures are suggested to better solve the spindle weld fracture failure problems.

In order to study the fire behavior of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor subjected to fire load, research on fire response and post-fire bearing capacity of a profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor subjected to dead load, which has no shearing nails, is carried out here through experiment. Based on the experimental results, the fire behavior and post-fire bearing capacity of the floor after exposure to fire are analyzed. It is shown that the failure form of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor after exposure to fire has obvious change compared with the floor not subjected to fire load, but the composite floor subjected to fire still exhibits higher bending capacity, and the ultimate value of the equivalent distributed load is up to 35kN/m2, which may be used as basis of strengthening and repairing of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor after exposure to fire.

Turbulent film flow theories can only be verified on the basis of a large number of experimental results. Since it will be useful to handle these experimental results more or less systematically and to get some idea of the amount of work yet to be done, the first objective of this paper is to set up a classification system for turbulent film flow experiments. The second objective is to verify the bulk flow theory on the basis of the limited number of experimental results available in the literature and to show this theory to be compatible with these results.
