Abstract Stress and strain patterns developed in each of several regions of automobile tires have been mapped by using methods particularly suited to each region. Miniature force transducers were used to measure (1) the cord stresses due to shaping tires during vulcanization, (2) the change in cord stress patterns caused by postinflation, and (3) the cord loads caused by tire inflation and by cornering. Liquid metal gages were used to measure rubber strains on tire surfaces. A photoelastic method was used to measure the strain distribution interior to the tire under simulated load. In each of these procedures, particular attention was given to the differences in properties among bias, belted bias, and radial ply tires.

In the factory, pipes for trunk oil and oil product pipelines are obtained by molding and welding. To ensure a cylindrical shape and reduce technological residual stresses, expansion technology is used. Pipe expansion causes a significant change in the values of residual deformations and stresses. The article presents both the calculation results and graphs regarding stress and strain distribution during bending of the stock and their redistribution after expansion. Based on the calculation results, the final total values of residual stresses and residual deformations caused by bending and expansion were stated to be important components of the stress-strain state observed in pipelines being operated under cyclic loading, as well as those used in assessing how degradation affects the ductility of the pipe material. These factors were concluded as being reasonably taken into account when performing verification calculations regarding long-running pipelines if, based on their diagnostics and analysis, their state does not meet modern strength requirements.

Three-dimensional integrated modeling method and the numerical simulation of elastoplastic finite element are adopted in the paper. The mechanical response of the five holes anchorage is analyzed in certain prestressed state. The stress and strain distribution information of the anchor ring, clip and steel strand is obtained respectively, and the structure safety is discussed by investigating on the maximum stress and strain.

Abstract In this paper a photoelastic method is described for the study of stresses in cylindrical shafts due to pure torsion. The basic photoelastic equation governing this case is derived. It is shown that the maximum stresses, i.e., the boundary stresses, can be determined from a single stress pattern, and that the two stress components which define the complete stress system in pure torsion at an interior point can be determined from two stress patterns obtained from one section of a shaft into which the pure-torsion system has been frozen, employing to this end the Drucker-Mindlin suggestion of oblique incidence. The method is applied to a circular shaft, and the experimental results are found to be in complete agreement with the theory.

When two arrays of lines are superimposed an optical phenomenon known as the moire effect is observed under certain conditions. This moire effect is used by the authors to determine the distribution of transient strains on the surface of two-dimensional bodies. The method can be used to solve completely the strain-distribution problem or it can be used in combination with photoelasticity to separate the principal stresses. The methods used in interpreting the moire fringe patterns and the techniques used to produce the patterns are described in the paper. Two applications are discussed.

This article established 3D FE model of dual-radius arc finishing groove and tangent expansion angle finishing groove using ANSYS / LS-DYNA software for Wuhan Iron and Steel plant Ф16 hot continuous bar, and analyzed metal flow pattern, stress and strain distribution of two types finishing grooves. The results show that surface stress and strain distribution of dual-radius arc finishing groove have better uniform than them of tangent expansion angle finishing groove, and dual-radius arc finishing groove ensures the stability of the rolled piece in finishing groove, improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of rolled finishing product.

For the sake of working safely and stable, large-scale shipbuilding gantry crane was designed based on the principle of metal structure:3S,Strength,Stiffness,Stability. The detailed finite element analytical computation was successfully carried out on this structure, the stress and strain distribution of this structure were obtained under various actual operations. On the basis of it, the structural improvement was carried out, the result of design indicated that the stress was evident and the weight was lightened. This laid a foundation for the structure design of large-scale shipbuilding gantry crane.

White X-ray diffraction with micro-beam synchrotron radiation was used to analyze microscopic stress evolved in coarse grains of a twinning-induced plasticity Fe-Mn-C steel under tensile loading. In addition, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to determine the crystal orientation of grains in the polycrystalline Fe-Mn-C steel. Based on these orientation data, the stress and strain distribution in the microstructure of the steel under tensile loading was estimated using FEM simulation where the elastic anisotropy or the crystal orientation dependence of the elasticity was taken into account. The FEM simulation showed that the strain distribution in the microstructure depends on the crystal orientation of each grain. The stress analysis by the white X-ray diffraction indicated that the direction of the maximum principal stresses at measured points in the steel under tensile loading are mostly oriented toward the tensile direction. This is qualitatively consistent with the results of by the FEM simulation, although absolute values of the principal stresses may contain the effect of heterogeneous plastic deformation on the stress distribution.

Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) cutters have been popularly used in recent times due to their resistance against mechanical and thermal wear. This paper was focused on interface geometries between the substrate and the diamond table. Various types of interfaces were designed, to investigate how different interface geometries influence distribution of stress and strain under shear loading. The interface geometries examined in this paper included castle interface, dent interface, honeycomb interface and chase interface. Parallel to the interface, shear loading was applied to the top of diamond table to mimic the shear loading component from the rock cutting. To apply the shear loading, two locations were considered for each of the geometries. These locations differed depending on the interface features. Stress and strain distribution and values across different interface geometries were analysed with the aid of 3D Finite Element Method (FEM). The numerical simulations indicated that stress and strain magnitudes and distribution patterns varied in relation to different geometries. Some substrates showed relatively lower plastic strain representing higher durability of the geometries. Concentration of stress and strain distribution showed the areas where one could expect weakness. It also implies that rotating the PDC cutter assemblies around their cylindrical axis helps avoiding fatigue of interface elements in regions of high stress concentration; and thus, preventing premature failure of interface elements.
