Iron Work

The term “road ironwork” is used to refer to covers that are placed over manholes, drainage gullies, water valves, and the like. Such ironwork can be found in virtually all highways, especially in urban areas. Highway engineers have to deal with a high incidence of premature failure in these installations, the total costs of which are estimated to be £207 million (U.S. $338 million 1998) per year in the United Kingdom alone. These failures are generally characterized by gradual deterioration of the surrounding asphalt surfacing, associated with failure of the bedding material that supports the ironwork frame. The reasons for this high incidence of failure were investigated in a research project involving the construction of a full-scale laboratory test facility to simulate field conditions. This paper contains a description of the development of this apparatus. The results recorded from the apparatus were later used to identify the failure mechanisms that develop within road ironwork installations.

Rotational Resistance

This paper presents a regression model for prediction of idler rotational resistance on belt conveyor. The advantage of the regression model is that it is created according to the real experimental measurement. Besides, the predicted model corresponds with real operational parameters, such as radial force, rotational speed and measurements, conducted via using a laboratory test facility; several criteria have been used to verify the presented regression model. Finally, by analyzing the regression model combined with influence of radical force and rotational resistance on idler rotational resistance, this paper presents an operable control ideal to achieve energy-saving.

Insight Into

One of the major materials problems encountered in the development of fast breeder reactors for commercial power generation is the phenomenon of swelling in core structural components and fuel cladding. This volume expansion, which is due to the retention of lattice vacancies by agglomeration into large polyhedral clusters (voids), may amount to ten percent or greater at goal fluences in some austenitic stainless steels. From a design standpoint, this is an undesirable situation, and it is necessary to obtain experimental confirmation that such excessive volume expansion will not occur in materials selected for core applications in the Fast Flux Test Facility, the prototypic LMFBR now under construction at the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory (HEDL). The HEDL JEM-1000 1 MeV electron microscope is being used to provide an insight into trends of radiation damage accumulation in stainless steels, since it is possible to produce atom displacements at an accelerated rate with 1 MeV electrons, while the specimen is under continuous observation.
