This article is devoted to the analysis methods for assessing the load capacity of gears hardened by surface chemical-thermal treatment (CTT), which are characterized by structural and chemical heterogeneity. The leading type of failure is determined by several factors, the main of which are the surface and deep layer properties of the material, which fundamentally differ in the energy and structural state. Intercrystalline fracture mechanisms predominate in the surface layers and transcrystalline in the core. For these cases, the classical failure criteria of Mohr, Tresca, and Mises lead to significant errors. Therefore, the bearing capacity of the layer component is investigated by the generalized criterion of the limit state of the Pisarenko-Lebedev structurally inhomogeneous material, considering changes in its plastic properties due to surface hardening. The reliability of predicting the level of bearing capacity of surface hardened steel parts, such as gears, was significantly improved. The influence of the plasticity parameter on the level of bearing capacity for various types of CTT is estimated. Calculations using the presented model show that for alloy steels with a Ni content up to 1%, the safety coefficient can be limited to 1.2, which will increase the bearing capacity by 25–27%.

Priority directions and measures among the main branches of urban electric transport are resource saving in the subway transportation system during its operation. First of all, this problem must be solved by scientific support, that is, at the stage of designing parts and components of vehicles. One of the main tasks that are solved at the design stage is to increase the load-bearing capacity of the parts by analyzing their stress-strain state. The article is devoted to the calculation of the load capacity reserve of the longitudinal beam of the front subway trolley under the action of evenly distributed over the entire length of the load without taking into account the transverse forces. The priority of the research topic is substantiated, the purpose and tasks are formulated. Two approaches to the power calculation of the bearing capacity of the longitudinal beam are introduced: the calculation of the permissible stresses and the limit state. In both cases elastic models of beams are considered. In the case of calculation on the limit state, the mechanics of the occurrence of plastic hinges at the places of rigid fixing of the ends of the beam are first substantiated. The beam still retains its load capacity. With the further growth of the external load, the emergence of a plastic hinge is justified even in the middle of the beam with the simultaneous loss of the beam of the bearing capacity. To simulate the behavior of the beam according to its characteristics, including the stress and the degradation condition of its load capacity, the mathematical formulation of the problem of calculating the load capacity of the longitudinal beam when calculating the permissible stresses and the limit state without taking into account the transverse force. The load-bearing capacity of the longitudinal beam in the calculation of permissible stresses and the limit state is analyzed. The analysis of the obtained results allows us to judge the effectiveness of the proposed mathematical model as a whole. The obtained equations for the maximum allowable load when calculating the limit state and the allowable stresses allow us to reliably estimate the bearing capacity of the longitudinal beam in both cases. The increase in the bearing capacity of the beam in the case of calculation on the limit is three times. The conclusions about the adequacy of the analysis of the bearing capacity of the longitudinal beam bearing capacity were made. Keywords: resource saving, beam, bearing capacity, allowable stresses, limit state.

Metal structures, given their broad plastic deformation capacity, have been often at the core of research for the evaluation of the post elastic behavior via the direct methods of plasticity. Limit and shakedown analysis were often exploited to determine the plastic collapse load capacity, as they provide advantages in terms of computational robustness in comparison with incremental non-linear analysis. The aforementioned approach has been widely and effectively applied for steel structures, characterized by rigid-plastic behavior. Υet in the case of aluminium structures, there are special parameters to be considered, as they exhibit a relationship of round-house type, whose trend cannot be interpreted through the classic elastic-perfectly plastic material law idealization.The present paper aims to develop a limit and shakedown analysis formulation suitable for the safety assessment of 3D aluminium frame structures against plastic collapse. Research yielded the proposed two-surface methodology in the framework of stress resultant plasticity, which is capable of estimating the plastic collapse limit state of real-life aluminium frames, incorporating Eurocode 9 codified failure criteria and limited kinematic hardening. A numerical example of a 3D frame is realized utilizing the finite element method and the 3-node Timoshenko column-beam element, in order to showcase the proposed methodology and validate the influence of hardening effect.

Geometrical Effects

Although engineers often make use of pile geometry to improve the axial load capacity of piles, geometrical effects on floating piles in consolidating clay are still not fully understood. This paper reports two centrifuge model tests to investigate the responses of a Y-shaped pile and a circular pile subjected to an induced dragload and applied axial loads. Three-dimensional numerical back-analyses were performed considering the elastoplastic slip. The Y-shaped and circular piles developed similar downdrag, but the dragload induced on the Y-shaped pile was larger than that induced on the circular pile. As the axial load increased, the neutral plane shifted upward along a nonlinear path, of which the gradient of the Y-shaped pile was gentler. The ultimate bearing capacity of the Y-shaped pile was 1.73 times that of the circular pile. The dragload on the Y-shaped and circular piles was eventually eliminated at approximately 0.56 and 0.83 times the corresponding ultimate pile capacities, respectively. Three flanges of the Y-shaped pile “hung-up” adjacent soil that settled together with the pile shaft. The lateral extent of vertically nonuniform trapped soil decreased with increasing axial load. Even though the Y-shaped and circular piles encountered a similar serviceability limit state, Y-shaped pile had advantages in bearing capacity.

Ultimate Load Capacity

During the service process of a P.C. bridge, the mechanical properties of materials (including concrete and steel) will deteriorate, and eventually result in the decrease of ultimate bearing capacity. Considering it’s structural behavior, degenerate solid elements were used to set up a three-dimensional model. By taking prestressed reinforcement as a part of structure, the equivalent nodal load was provided to calculate the effect of tensioning bars. The T.L. method was adopted to consider the geometric nonlinear effect. The Ohtani & Chen model was used to simulate the concrete material nonlinear behavior, and for prestressed steel strand and common reinforced, linear hardening and ideal elastoplastic model were adopted respectively. A P.C. continuous rigid frame bridge was employed for the case study, on the basis of material performance deterioration, the ultimate bearing capacity analysis of P.C. bridge structure was carried out. The results show that material deterioration has great impact on ultimate load capacity of structure: the load factor on limit state dropped rapidly from 13.9085 at t=0a to 7.8265 at t=100a, the corresponding safe index decreased from 2.265 to 1.581, and brittle characteristics was aggravated at the same time.

VicRoads, the road authority for the state of Victoria, Australia, has been undertaking extensive research into the load capacity and performance of cast-in-place reinforced concrete flat slab bridges. One of the key objectives of this research is the development of analytical tools that can be used to better determine the performance of these bridges under loadings to the elastic limit and subsequently to failure. The 59-year-old Barr Creek Bridge, a flat slab bridge of four short continuous spans over column piers, was made available to VicRoads in aid of this research. The static testing program executed on this bridge was therefore aimed at providing a comprehensive set of measurements of its response to serviceability level loadings and beyond. This test program was preceded by the performance of a dynamic test (a simplified experimental modal analysis using vehicular excitation) to establish basic structural properties of the bridge (effective flexural rigidity, EI) and the influence of the abutment supports from identification of its dynamic modal characteristics. The dynamic test results enabled a reliably tuned finite element model of the bridge in its in-service condition to be produced for use in conjunction with the static testing program. The results of the static testing program compared well with finite element modeling predictions in both the elastic range (serviceability loadings) and the nonlinear range (load levels taken to incipient collapse). Observed collapse failure modes and corresponding collapse load levels were also found to be predicted well using yield line theory.

<p>The success of any civil engineering structure's foundation design depends upon the accuracy of estimation of soil’s ultimate bearing capacity. Numerous numerical approaches have been proposed to estimate the foundation's bearing capacity value to avoid repetitive and expensive experimental work. All these models have their advantages and disadvantages. In this study, we compiled all the governing equations mentioned in Bureau of Indian standard IS:6403-1981 and modify the equation for Ultimate Bearing Capacity. The equation was modified by considering two new parameters, K1(for general shear) and K2 (for local shear) so that a common governing equation can be used for both general and local shear failure criteria. The program used for running the model was written in MATLAB language code and verified with the observed field data. Results indicate that the proposed model accurately characterized the ultimate, safe, and allowable bearing capacity of a shallow footing at different depths. The correlation coefficients between the observed and model-predicted bearing capacity values for a 2m foundation depth with footing size of 1.5 ×1.5, 2.0 × 2.0, and 2.5 × 2.5 m are 0.95, 0.94, and 0.96. A similar result was noted for the other foundation depth and footing size. Findings show that the model can be used as a reliable tool for predicting the bearing capacity of shallow foundations at any given depth.  Moreover, the formulated model can also be used for the transition zone between general and local shear failure conditions.</p>

While the formation of a wrinkle in an onshore pipeline is an undesirable event, in many instances this event does not have immediate pipeline integrity implications. The magnitude or severity of a wrinkle formed due to displacement controlled loading processes (e.g. slope movement, fault displacement, frost heave and thaw settlement) may increase with time, eventually causing serviceability concerns (e.g. fluid flow or inspection restrictions). Pipe wall damage leading to cracking and eventually a loss of containment involves contributions from the wrinkle formation and growth processes, as well as, wrinkle deformations promoted by in-service line pressure, temperature and seasonal soil displacements. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the ongoing research efforts, sponsored by TransCanada PipeLines Ltd. and Tokyo Gas Co. Ltd., towards the development of a mechanics based wrinkle ultimate limits state that may be used in future to evaluate the long term integrity of wrinkled pipeline segments. The research efforts include non-linear finite element modeling to demonstrate the ability of experimentally derived material properties to predict the formation of through wall cracking induced by high and low frequency load effects. This paper outlines the material testing program used to support the development of failure criteria capable of considering the contributions of monotonic deformation, as well as, high and low cycle cyclic loading.

The aim of this paper is to establish an approach to quantitatively determine the elasto-plastic parameters of the Mo-modified Ti obtained by the plasma surface alloying technique. A micro-indentation test is conducted on the surface under 10[Formula: see text]N. Considering size effects, nanoindentation tests are conducted on the cross-section with two loads of 6 and 8[Formula: see text]mN. Assuming nanoindentation testing sublayers are homogeneous, finite element reverse analysis is adopted to determine their plastic parameters. According to the gradient distributions of the elasto-plastic parameters with depth in the Mo-modified Ti, two types of mathematical expressions are proposed. Compared with the polynomial expression, the linear simplified expression does not need the graded material to be sectioned and has practical utility in the surface treatment industry. The validation of the linear simplified expression is verified by the micro-indentation test and corresponding finite element forward analysis. This approach can assist in improving the surface treatment process of the Mo-modified Ti and further enhancing its load capacity and wear resistance.

Bored Piles

One of the methods of improving the bearing capacity of bored piles is giving them a taper. The feature of these (wedge-type) piles is that under load they work "as a thrust" and transfer part of the load due to the normal component to the inclined side surface. Three sizes of tapered bored piles were tested, with the length of 4.5 m, head diameter 0.4; 0.5; 0.6 m and with cone angle 1o and 2,5o. The test results were compared with the test results of cylindrical piles, 4.5 m long, with head diameter 0.4 m and 0.6 m. It has been discovered that with the increasing cone angle, the bearing capacity of piles against the pressing load, especially the specific load capacity for 1 m3 of material, as compared to cylindrical piles, increases significantly. It has been determined that the larger is the diameter of the head of the pile, the higher is the bearing capacity against the horizontal load, and the bearing capacity against the pullout load is equal to the breakout force of a pile from the soil.

Abstract EPR has been used to measure molecular phenomena during fracture of elastomers. To date, because of various technical limitations, the studies have been largely confined to identification of the polymer chain scission site during fracture at low temperature in rubbers, to studying ozone-stress-induced cracking of rubber, to development of a micro-macro Griffith-type failure criteria for this type of failure, and lastly to systematic investigation of the role of filler-matrix interaction in fracture of filled elastomers. It is hoped that the brief outline presented here will give the reader some insight into the uses and potential of the EPR methods for the study of fracture. As a final note, while we have concentrated almost totally on EPR fracture studies in rubbers, there has been fairly extensive EPR work on fracture in oriented plastic, fibers, and films. Even though some of this knowledge may be transferable, directly or indirectly, to elastomers, it has not been reviewed here, but important aspects of these studies have been reviewed elsewhere.
