Two Stages

An induced trench installation was instrumented to monitor earth pressures and settlements during construction. Some of the unique features of this case study are as follows: (a) both contact and earth pressure cells were used; (b) part of the culvert is under a new embankment and part was installed in a wide trench within an existing embankment; (c) a large stockpile was temporarily placed over the induced trench; and (d) the compressible material was placed in two stages. The maximum vertical pressure measured in the field at the crown of the culvert was 0.24 times the overburden pressure. The maximum horizontal pressure measured on the side of the culvert at the springline was 0.45 times the overburden pressure. The column of soil directly above the compressible zone settled approximately 40% more than did the adjacent fill. The field results at the crown and springline compared reasonably with those observed with numerical modeling. However, the overall pressure distribution on the pipe was expected to be nonuniform, the average vertical pressure calculated by using numerical analysis on top of the culvert over its full width was 0.61 times the overburden pressure, and the average horizontal pressure calculated on the side of the culvert over its full height was 0.44 times the overburden pressure. When the full pressure distribution on the pipe is considered, the recommended design loads from the Marston–Spangler theory slightly underpredict the maximum loads, and the vertical loads control the design.

Friction Lining

In this paper the effect on braking torque of the geometry of contact between brake shoes and drums is presented. It is shown that elastic deformation as well as errors in dimensional and assembly errors substantially affect the value of the braking torque. Investigations of pressure distribution on friction lining, brake factor, brake element deformation, and wear of linings carried out on mine winder installations are presented.

Incoming Signal

The Pekeris theory of normal mode propagation of explosion sound in two liquid layers is extended to include the case of a solid bottom. Curves giving phase velocity, group velocity, amplitude, vertical pressure distribution as a function of frequency are presented. The relative merits of geophones and hydrophones for underwater seismology and the best depth for each type of instrument are discussed in the light of the theory. The characteristics of an incoming signal are described.

Obstacle Geometry

<p>In order to estimate avalanche loads on buildings and structures of various sizes and geometries,  practitioners are interested in recommendations or experimental data for a wide variety of obstacle geometries and sizes. Full-scale avalanche measurements are performed across the world since the late 1970s to increase knowledge about avalanche flow behaviour, including impact on structures. These structures are usually equipped with sensors to measure impact pressure, avalanche velocity and/or snow density. Modifying the structure profile is hardly possible because of high construction costs. To date, it has thus been possible to test and calibrate empirical relationships used in engineering only on a limited number of structures for which experimental data exist. We therefore aim to calibrate the drag coefficient and amplification factor for a broader range of obstacle shapes and sizes. In this context the drag coefficient generalizes the drag coefficient used in Newtonian fluid mechanics when computing the flow past an obstacle. The amplification factor reflects the snow load’s deviation from a hydrostatic-like pressure. To estimate these two parameters, we simulate how an avalanche interacts with differently sized and shaped obstacles using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). First, we test the DEM model’s capacity to reproduce full-scale pressure measurements performed on two different obstacles at the Vallée de la Sionne test site by comparing simulated and measured impact pressures. Second, we run new simulations involving other geometries and dimensions, for which no experimental data exist. Our results show that the pressure distribution depends not only on the obstacle geometry, but also on avalanche flow regime and snow properties. We eventually examine the pressure distribution for different generic geometries and avalanche scenarios. This analysis should ultimately help to improve extant engineering guidelines.</p>

This paper describes a method of deducing aerodynamic force components produced by individual sails. This is achieved by measuring the pressure distribution at a number of discrete locations over the sail and extrapolating these measurements into a distribution across the entire sail surface. The sail shape is measured using the camera-based VSPARS system and the force distribution over the sail surface is then determined. Wind tunnel tests have been conducted to validate the accuracy of the model. Full scale testing has been undertaken to investigate how aerodynamic effects of trimming sails affect yacht performance.

New Form

A method for the analysis of the wave profile alongside a ship model is presented in a new form. The pressure distribution over an axisymmetric model is computed, and wave resistance and vertical forces are derived from it. The application of the method to other model forms and also to full-scale ships is discussed.
