Laboratory tests on piles made of different materials (polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, steel, wood, concrete, and Inerta 160-coated steel) were used to investigate their adhesion to an ice cover at high rates of loading. Steel, wood, and concrete piles had adhesive strengths from 0.4 to 0.5 MPa; failure at these stresses occurred in the ice. Polyethylene and polyvinylchloride piles had an adhesive strength in the range 0.05–0.07 MPa; failure was characterized by separation between the pile and the ice. Inerta 160-coated steel had an intermediate strength of 0.25 MPa. Measured strengths were related both to the adhesion of ice to the pile and compliance of the pile. A special test series investigated the effect on adhesion of a tensile or compressive stress state in a polyethylene pile. An adhesive strength of 0.06 MPa was recorded in tension, and 0.13 MPa in compression, because of the relative stiffness of the pile and the ice. Keywords: ice loading, piles, ice adhesion, pile material, stress states.

Assembling induced pre-stress state commonly exists in the ribcage structure of Hybrid III dummy hardware. In the practice of dummy modeling, however, the pre-stress issue is often neglected. This study is intended to assess the pre-stress effect on chest response of the Hybrid III 50th percentile male dummy model. In this paper, how the pre-stress state is generated in the dummy ribcage assembling process is first elaborated by disassembling and reverse engineering a physical dummy chest structure. A thorax FE model is then built and validated against test results. Using finite element modeling approach, the structural responses with and without the pre-stress state are compared and analyzed at single rib, ribcage and full dummy levels and under a number of loading conditions. The study has found out that, there are two common pre-stress states existing in the rib components of the dummy ribcage, pre-compressive stress and pre-tensile stress. Compared with no pre-stress model, the pre-compressive stress makes a rib stiffer and the pre-tensile stress makes a rib less stiff. It is further concluded that, the pre-stress effect is significant at the single rib level and insignificant at the ribcage level and the full dummy level. This is mainly because the effects of the pre-compressive stress and the pre-tensile stress existing in the six ribs are compensated each other in the assembled ribcage. Therefore, neglecting the pre-stress effect of the ribcage structure in the dummy models is reasonable.

Conscious appraisals of stress, or stress states, are an important aspect of human performance. This article presents evidence supporting the validity and measurement characteristics of a short multidimensional self-report measure of stress state, the Short Stress State Questionnaire (SSSQ; Helton, 2004 ). The SSSQ measures task engagement, distress, and worry. A confirmatory factor analysis of the SSSQ using data pooled from multiple samples suggests the SSSQ does have a three factor structure and post-task changes are not due to changes in factor structure, but to mean level changes (state changes). In addition, the SSSQ demonstrates sensitivity to task stressors in line with hypotheses. Different task conditions elicited unique patterns of stress state on the three factors of the SSSQ in line with prior predictions. The 24-item SSSQ is a valid measure of stress state which may be useful to researchers interested in conscious appraisals of task-related stress.

In this article, the yielding and plastic flow of a rapid-prototyped ABS compound was investigated for various plane stress states. The experimental procedures consisted of multiaxial tests performed on an Arcan device on specimens manufactured through photopolymerization. Numerical analyses were employed in order to determine the yield points for each stress state configuration. The results were used for the calibration of the Hosford yield criterion and flow potential. Numerical analyses performed on identical specimen models and test configurations yielded results that are in accordance with the experimental data.

Residual strains were measured in the porcine aorta. Segments were cut from the aorta perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. Microdots of water-insoluble black ink were sprinkled onto the transverse sectional surface of the segments in the no-load state. The segments were then cut radially, and sectional zero-stress states were approached. The coordinates of selected microdots (2-20 microns) were digitized from photographs taken in the no-load state and the zero-stress state. Residual strains in the transverse section were calculated from the displacement of the microdots. The circumferential residual strains on the inner wall and outer wall were calculated from the circumferential lengths in the no-load state and the zero-stress state. Results show that the circumferential residual strain is negative (compressive) in the inner layer of the aortic wall and positive (tensile) in the outer layer, whereas the radial residual strain is tensile in the inner layer and compressive in the outer layer. This residual strain distribution reduces the stress concentration in the aorta under physiological load. The experimental results compared well with theoretical estimations of a cylindrical model. Regional difference of the residual strain exists and is significant (P < 0.01), e.g., the circumferential residual strains on the inner wall of the ascending, descending thoracic, and abdominal regions of the aorta are -0.133 +/- 0.019, -0.074 +/- 0.020, and -0.046 +/- 0.017 (mean +/- SD), respectively. More radial cuts of a segment produced no significant additional strains. This means that an aortic segment after one radial cut can be considered as the zero-stress state.

The stress state has an important effect on the deformation and failure of metals. While the stress states of the axisymmetric notched bars specimens are studied in the literature, the studies on the flat metal specimen with inclined notch are very limited and the stress state is not clearly characterized in them. In this paper, digital image correlation and finite element simulations are used to study the distribution of strain and stress state, that is stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameter. Flat specimen with inclined notch was tested to extract the full field strain evolution and calculate stress state parameters at three locations: specimen centre, notch root and failure starting point. It is found that compared with the centre point and the notch root, the failure initiation point can better characterize the influence of the notch angle on the strain evolution. Conversely, the centre point can more clearly characterize the effect of the notch angle on stress state, since the stress states at the failure point and the notch root change greatly during the plastic deformation. Then the calculated stress state parameters of the flat metal specimen with inclined notch at the centre point are used in Wierzbicki stress state diagram to establish a relationship between failure mode and stress state.

&lt;p&gt;Injecting fluid into the formation is an effective solution for improving the permeability and production of a target reservoir. The evaluation of economy and safety of injection process is a challenging issue faced in reservoir engineering [1-2]. As known, the relative magnitude and direction of the principal stresses significantly influence the hydro-mechanical behavior of reservoir rock during fluid injection. However, due to the limitations of current testing techniques, it is still difficult to comprehensively conduct laboratory injection tests under various stress conditions, e.g. triaxial extension stress states [3]. To this end, a series of numerical simulations were carried out on reservoir rock to study the hydro-mechanical changes under different stress states during fluid injection. In this modelling, the saturated rock is first loaded to the target stress state under drainage conditions, and then the stress state is maintained and water is injected from the top end to simulate the reservoir injection process. Particular attention is paid to the difference in hydro-mechanical changes under triaxial compression and extension stresses. This includes the difference of the pore pressure propagation, mean effective stress, volumetric strain, and stress-induced permeability. The numerical results demonstrate that the differential stress will significantly affect the hydro-mechanical behavior of target rock, but the degree of influence is different under the two triaxial stress states. The hydro-mechanical changes caused by the triaxial compression stress states are generally greater than that of extension, but the difference decreases with increasing differential stress, indicating that the increase of the differential stress will weaken the impact of the stress state on the hydro-mechanical response. This study can deepen our understanding of the stress-induced hydro-mechanical coupling process in reservoir injection engineering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keywords: Reservoir injection; Subsurface flow; Hydro-mechanical coupling; Stress state; Triaxial experiment modelling&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[1] Li, X., Lei, X. &amp; Li, Q. 2016.
