Abstract Hydro-viscous drive has gained extensive application in fans, pumps, belt conveyors, and scraper conveyors for step-less speed regulating, soft starting, and overload protection. In the mixed friction stage, the state of contact and load-bearing capacity are always changing with the pressure of control oil. In order to predict the load-bearing capacity of friction pairs, a description of the frictional and hydrodynamic lubrication states was first made. Oil film’s pressure distribution and load-bearing capacity were analyzed with the average flow model. The fractal contact model of the asperity surface was proposed for simulating mutual contact state and contact load between the asperities. The influences of fractal parameters on the contact performance of friction pairs were conducted. Eventually, test rig of load-bearing capacity was established. As indicated by the experiment, asperity contact area and load-bearing capacity of the asperity contact increase slowly at first and then rapidly with reduced film thickness ratio. Correspondingly, oil film load-bearing capacity progressively reduces. Due to the reduction of film thickness ratio, friction pairs’ load-bearing capacity increases gradually. The load-bearing capacity of friction pairs is affected by the fractal dimension and scale factor. Results of the experiment well conform to the theoretical values, which illustrates that friction pairs’ load-bearing capacity can be accurately predicted and computed using the average flow model and M-B fractal contact model. The calculation offers a theoretical reference to the survey about friction and torque properties of the hydro-viscous drive.

AbstractThis paper attempts to investigate the effect of various parameters on the axial compressive behavior of nano-silica concrete-filled angle steel reinforced GFRP tubular columns. The proposed new composite column consists of three parts: the outer GFRP tube, the inner angle section steel and the nano-silica concrete filled between GFRP tube and angle section steel. Twenty-seven specimens with different nano-silica concrete compressive strength (20MPa, 30MPa and 40MPa), diameter-to-thickness ratio of GFRP tube (20, 25 and 40) and steel ratio (0.008, 0.022 and 0.034) were tested under axial load. The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the three parameters on the following: failure modes, deformation capacity, load bearing capacity, ductility and initial stiffness of the new composite column under axial load. It was found that the load bearing capacity and initial stiffness increased as the nano-silica concrete compressive strength of the specimens increased. But the specimens with higher nano-silica concrete compressive strength showed lower deformation capacity than that of the specimens with lower nano-silica concrete compressive strength. The varieties of the steel ratio have no significant effect on the specimens’ axial deformation behavior. Experimental results also showed that both load bearing capacity and deformation capacity increased with the decrease of diameter-to-thickness ratio of GFRP tube. However, diameter-to-thickness ratio of GFRP tube has no significant effect on the initial stiffness of specimens. The confinement coefficient was proposed to better evaluate the confinement effect of GFRP tube on the inner angle section steel reinforced core nano-silica concrete. The confinement effect of GFRP tube on lower strength concrete was better, and the confinement effect reduced as the diameter-to-thickness ratio of GFRP tube increased. The design formulas for the load bearing capacity of the nano-silica concrete-filled angle steel reinforced GFRP tubular columns under axial load were proposed.

This paper presents an improvement of a simplified approach, namely, the macro-micro approach, used to model the mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems in counterformal contacts, and its comparison with Zhu and Hu’s full-scale mixed-EHL model. In this approach, Patir and Cheng’s average flow model is employed to obtain the distribution of piecewise average pressure. A contact-embedment method that incorporates the detail of asperity contact pressure into the overall pressure distribution is utilized to reveal the severity of surface interaction. Numerical experiments are conducted, and the results are compared with those obtained by means of the full-scale mixed-EHL. The regime of the application of this macro-micro approach is explored.

Quantitative Influence

Although it is well known that initial deflections have a significant influence on coupled buckling strength, their quantitative influence is not clear. In this paper, a series of nonlinear finite element analyses to reveal the quantitative influence of initial deflections on coupled buckling strength are conducted with MSC.Marc. There are nine kinds of combinations about the size of local and overall initial deflections including 1/75, 1/150, 1/450 of the plate width and 1/500, 1/1000, 1/3000 of the column length. In addition, the width-thickness ratio and slenderness ratio parameters are also varied in the parametrical study. Both ranges of slenderness and the width-thickness ratio parameters are from 0.1 to 2.1. As a result, the initial deflection influence coefficient is proposed to describe the quantitative influence of local and overall initial deflections on coupled buckling strength. The numerical results reveal that the coefficient decreases with the increase of initial deflections. The sensitivity of the strength to initial deflections depends on both width-thickness and slenderness ratio parameters. The maximum decrease of 21.4% on load-bearing capacity caused by local initial deflection appears when width-thickness and slenderness ratio parameters equal to 1.2 and 2.1, respectively. Column strength is quite sensitive to overall initial deflection at the slenderness ratio parameter equal to 1.4. The maximum decrease in load-bearing capacity reaches 18.2%.

The load-bearing capacity and fracture pattern of direct inlay-retained FRC FDPs with two different cross-sectional designs of the ponticwere tested. The aim of the study was to evaluate a new fibre disposition. Two types of composites, Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative and Filtek Z250 (3M/ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA), and one braided polyethylene fibre, Construct (Kerr, USA) were used. The results of the study suggested that the new tested disposition of the fibres prevented in some extend the delamination of the composite on buccal and facial sides of the pontic and increased the load-bearing capacity of the bridges.

Abstract This article proposed an innovative composite sandwich structure reinforced with trapezoidal latticed webs with angles of 45°, 60° and 75°. Four specimens were conducted according to quasi-static compression methods to investigate the compressive behavior of the novel composite structures. The experimental results indicated that the specimen with 45° trapezoidal latticed webs showed the most excellent energy absorption ability, which was about 2.5 times of the structures with vertical latticed webs. Compared to the traditional composite sandwich structure, the elastic displacement and ultimate load-bearing capacity of the specimen with 45° trapezoidal latticed webs were increased by 624.1 and 439.8%, respectively. Numerical analysis of the composite sandwich structures was carried out by using a nonlinear explicit finite element (FE) software ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The influence of the thickness of face sheets, lattice webs and foam density on the elastic ultimate load-bearing capacity, the elastic displacement and initial stiffness was analyzed. This innovative composite bumper device for bridge pier protection against ship collision was simulated to verify its performance. The results showed that the peak impact force of the composite anti-collision device with 45° trapezoidal latticed webs would be reduced by 17.3%, and the time duration will be prolonged by about 31.1%.
