Test Process

In order to research on mechanical properties of flexible suspension bridges, a geometric nonlinear analysis method was used to simulate on the experimental results, and carried on static loading test finally. In the loading test process, the deformations were measured in critical section of the suspension bridge, and displacement values of measured are compared with simulation values of the finite element simulation. Meanwhile the deformations of the main cable sag are observed under classification loading, the results show that the main cable sag increment is basically linear relationship with the increment of mid-span loading and tension from 3L/8 and 5L/8 to L/2 section, the main cable that increasing unit sag required mid-span loads and tension are gradually reduce in near L/4 and 3L/4 sections and gradually increase in near L/8 and 7L/8 sections and almost equal in near L/2, 3L/8 and 5L/8 sections. From the experimental results, the flexible suspension bridge possess good mechanical properties.

The welding H-section beam has good mechanical properties with its superior structure. So they become the main components of steel structure and have been widely used. In this paper, the welded H-section beam is used as the research object. The finite element simulation model is established. The heat source parameters are determined. The deformation of the steel due to the welding process is studied. The results show that the bottom plate and the bottom plate inward bending is about 2.32mm cause by welding process. The residual stress can reach 400MPa.

Titanium Thin Films

Titanium thin films have been widely used in microelectronics due to their good adhesion to substrates, such as Silicon wafer and Quartz. However, mechanical behavior of Titanium thin films has not been well characterized. This paper presents a methodology that combines the nanoindentation technique and finite element modeling to characterize the mechanical (elastic and plastic) properties of thin film with its application on Titanium thin film deposited on silicon substrate. The results show that the elastic properties (Young’s modulus) of the Titanium thin film does not change much from the bulk Titanium, and the plastic properties (yield stress and strain hardening exponent) of the Titanium thin film are higher than those of bulk Titanium. This method is also applicable for the study of mechanical properties of other thin films and small volume materials.

Railways provide a long and continuous journey for passengers and goods at an affordable cost. The rails and rail joints should be of high quality to ensure a safer transportation of people and goods. The tracks (rail) are made of alloys of iron and are fastened to other rails using fasteners. Nowadays, these fasteners are replaced with welded joints because of rising maintenance issues. Thermite welding is a globally adopted process for welding the rails. This article aims to best utilise the Aluminium composites for the welding of rails. The composites were prepared using stir casting route and a wear test was done on the casted samples to test their durability. Also, some of the mechanical properties of the composite material were found. The rail and track models were made and imported into ANSYS Finite Element Analysis software. The predicted results show that aluminium composites have considerable strength when compared to any other composite material.
