Abstract The centrifugal forces acting upon a rotating ray will produce longitudinal stresses along the ray. If the ray is not symmetric, these stresses will result not only in a longitudinal force, but also in a bending moment. A technique for finding the stress distribution in this case is developed and illustrated by means of simple examples. The limiting elastic speed and the maximum speed before large-scale plastic deformation commences are computed. An indication is given of how similar methods may be used to analyze a rotating disk with no plane of symmetry perpendicular to the axis.

The stress distributions in a combination joint of an adhesive with a tap bolt under external tensile loadings are analyzed in elasto-plastic deformation using a finite element method. The FEM code employed is MARC. The effects of the initial clamping force (preload), external loadings and the position of engagement screw thread on the interface stress distributions are analyzed. In addition, the stress distribution in the combination joints of the adhesive with the tap bolt is compared with that in tap bolted joint without an adhesive and the adhesive joints without the tap bolt. As the results, it is found that the stress distribution (compression) in the combination joint is less than that of bolt joints. In addition, the experiments were carried out to measure the strain of the combination joint under external tensile loads using strain gauges. Furthermore, the joint strengths under external loadings were measured. Fairly good agreements are observed between the numerical and the measured results. In addition, the usefulness of the combination joints is demonstrated in comparison with the bolted joints and the adhesive joints.

Bolted flange connections with metal gasket have been used at higher pressure under higher temperature condition. Assembly procedures and tightening methods the connections including some types of metal gasket is empirically. Generally, it is known that the bolt preload which is required for satisfying an indicated leak rate in the connections including the metal gasket is not higher than that of the connections including sheet gaskets and spiral wound gaskets. However, no research for the evaluating the sealing performance in the bolted flange connections with metal gaskets has been conducted. In this paper, the leakage tests for the bolted flange connections with the metal flat gasket were conducted in the case where the maximum internal pressure of 7MPa and a bending moment are applied, where the leak rate is measured using the pressure drop method. Then, the sealing performance of the connections with the metal flat gasket was evaluated. In addition, using the FEM stress calculations, the flange stress distributions between the flange surface and the gasket were examined as the evaluation. As the result, it is found that the stress distribution at the contact surfaces between the metal flat gasket and the flange surface under the bending moment and the internal pressure. In the leakage tests, it was observed that the amount of the leakage (He gas) depends on the stress distributions and the plastic deformation of the gasket.

A numerical model for the elastic contact of three-dimensional real rough surfaces has been developed and applied to the study of the variations in contact stress distribution in running-in process. The specimens for calculation and experiment are washers with nominally flat grinding surfaces. The stresses of real contact between specimens at each stage of running-in are calculated and the contact stress distributions are given. It is shown that the contact stress distribution is in an exponential form which could be characterized by one dimensionless parameter: λ, the index of contact stress distribution. The proportion of plastic deformation β may be expressed as a function of λ. The results of the present work confirm the reasonableness of the early opinion that the running-in process can be considered as a gradual increase in the elastic component of deformation of the contact area and a decrease in the proportion of plastic deformation.

Abstract Analytical expressions are obtained for the radial and circumferential stress distributions within a wide curved bar made of a perfectly plastic material when it is subjected to a uniformly distributed bending moment. The elastic stress distributions are based on the use of the Airy stress function, whereas the plastic stress distributions in this problem of plane strain are based on the use of the Tresca yield condition. It is found that as the bending moment increases in the direction which tends to straighten the initially curved bar, an elastic-plastic boundary develops first around the concave surface. It meets a second boundary, which starts sometime later around the convex surface, when the bar is completely plastic. The elastic region within the bar decreases at a fairly uniform rate as the bending moment increases to within approximately 90 per cent of the fully plastic bending moment but then it degenerates very much more rapidly until it no longer exists when the bar is completely plastic. The position of the neutral surface is independent of the applied bending moment when the stress distribution is within the completely elastic and the completely plastic ranges. Within the elastic-plastic range, however, it moves away from and then toward the center of curvature as the bending moment increases.

Given the possible separation problem caused by the double-span continuous beam bridge under the action of the vertical earthquake, considering the wave effect, the transient wave characteristic function method and the indirect mode superposition method are used to solve the response theory of the bridge structure during the earthquake. Through the example analysis, the pier bending moment changes under different vertical excitation periods and excitation amplitudes are calculated. Calculations prove that: (1) When the seismic excitation period is close to the vertical natural vibration period of the bridge, the main girder and the bridge pier may be separated; (2) When the pier has a high height, the separation has a more significant impact on the longitudinal displacement of the bridge, but the maximum relative displacement caused by the separation is random; (3) Large-scale vertical excitation will increase the number of partitions of the structure, and at the same time increase the vertical collision force between the main girder and the pier, but the effect on the longitudinal displacement of the form is uncertain; (4) When V/H exceeds a specific value, the pier will not only be damaged by bending, but will also be damaged by axial compression.

The difficulty of achieving good distal contact between a cementless hip endoprosthesis and the femur is well established. This finite element study investigates the effect on the stress distribution within the femur due to varying lengths of distal gap. Three-dimensional anatomical models of two different sized femurs were generated, based upon computer tomograph scans of two cadaveric specimens. A further six models were derived from each original model, with distal gaps varying from 10 to 60 mm in length. The resulting stress distributions within these were compared to the uniform contact models. The extent to which femoral geometry was an influencing factor on the stress distribution within the bone was also studied. Lack of distal contact with the prosthesis was found not to affect the proximal stress distribution within the femur, for distal gap lengths of up to 60 mm. In the region of no distal contact, the stress within the femur was at normal physiological levels associated with the applied loading and boundary conditions. The femoral geometry was found to have little influence on the stress distribution within the cortical bone. Although localized variations were noted, both femurs exhibited the same general stress distribution pattern.

Fermentation system is widely used for food manufacturing, materials processing and chemical reaction etc. Different types of blade in the tank for fermentation cause distinct stress distributions on the surface between fluid and blade, and appear various flow fields in the tank. So, this paper is mainly focused on analyzing the stress field of blades under different scales of blade with fixing rotational speed. The results show that the ratio of blade length to width influences stress distribution on the blades. At the same time, the inclined angle of blade is also the key parameter for the consideration of design and appropriate design will decrease the maximum stress. The results provide an effective means of gaining insights into the stress distribution of fermentation system.

Cable-stayed and extra-dosed bridges are today widely used bridge types. Recently, saddles have been used to deviate strands of cables in the pylons. Up to now the mechanics of strands on saddles are not well understood. It was found, that typical longitudinal contact stress distributions between strand and saddle show a strong nonlinearity and a high peak value around the detachment point, where the strand meets the saddle. This paper presents a procedure to analyse the longitudinal contact stress distribution obtained by FEM calculations: This contact stress can be idealised as a constant contact stress according to the Barlow's formula and a contact force at the detachment point due to the flexural rigidity of the bent tension elements. An analytical model is provided to verify this contact force. Finally, a formula is presented to calculate the maximum contact stress. This study provides the basis for further research on saddle design and fatigue of strands.

Abstract Using relaxation methods, an approximate numerical solution is found of the stress distribution in a shaft of rotational symmetry, which is subjected to a torque of sufficient magnitude to cause portions of the material to yield. It is assumed that the material of which the shaft is composed is isotropic and yields according to the condition of von Mises. The particular problem investigated is a shaft with a collar; results are presented showing the elastoplastic boundary, and the stress distribution, for two different amounts of plastic deformation.
