Abstract An automatic tread gaging machine has been developed. It consists of three component systems: (1) a laser gaging head, (2) a tire handling device, and (3) a computer that controls the movement of the tire handling machine, processes the data, and computes the least-squares straight line from which a wear rate may be estimated. Experimental tests show that the machine has good repeatability. In comparisons with measurements obtained by a hand gage, the automatic machine gives smaller average groove depths. The difference before and after a period of wear for both methods of measurement are the same. Wear rates estimated from the slopes of straight lines fitted to both sets of data are not significantly different.

Abstract Having the advantages of no motion elements, high reliability, undemanding maintenance and good medium flexibility, the swirl meter has been widely used to measure the gas, liquid and steam in chemical, petroleum as well as processing industries. For the current one-piezoelectric-pressure-sensor swirl meter, however, the measuring error caused by the interference pressure oscillation limits its application in the system where pressure is unsteady, or a noisemaker is nearby. In this paper, the fluid dynamic features inside the channel of the swirl meter are studied numerically and by experiment. The time dependent vortex motions as well as the hydrodynamic vibrations within the channel of the swirl meter are simulated using the CFD approaches of the RNG k-ε model. The computed flow fields indicate that the eccentric motion of vortexes initiates an axisymmetric pressure oscillation within the vortex precession area of the swirl meter. The frequency of the oscillation shifts linearly with volume flow rates. Both the calculated and the measured results prove that the hydrodynamic vibrations on the arbitrary axisymmetric points are equal in amplitude and frequency but with a 180 degree phase difference. By installing differential pressure transducers on such the axisymmetric points, the signals of the vortex pressure oscillations are enhanced, while the interferential signals are suppressed, enabling the anti-interference performance and low-flowrate sensibility of the swirmeter to be effectively improved.

Sand filtration is an eco-friendly method to treat either drinking water or wastewater ; it requires only natural granular media. It is also easy to use and to maintain ; the only problem they face is clogging that affects filter performance, that can be detected when head loss or turbidity increase. The purpose of this work is to see what are the factors that influence the performance of filter operation, for this, we used a pilot consisting on a circular column filled with sand (from South Algeria), where various parameters were tested; pressure, flow rate, sand granulometry, suspended matters and particle concentration of the water which is filtered. After eighteen weeks of operation, we have found that head loss increases by decreasing granulometry and increasing flow rate, pressure, particle size, and concentration. However, turbidity increases by decreasing particle size and increasing granulometry and particle concentration. Turbidity and head loss have different behaviour towards the same parameter; that is why it is necessary to take them into account in order to find a compromise between acceptable head loss / turbidity for a good functioning of the filter.

Abstract Concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular slender columns are studied in this paper to evaluate their stiffness. The slender columns have various steel tube thicknesses, length/diameter (width) ratios, and concrete compressive strengths. The columns are loaded by axial and eccentric loads. Two experimental tests of the slender and stub columns are described. Also, the finite element software ABAQUS is utilised to simulate and analyse the columns. The tested columns are simulated taking into account all their features in the tests to verify the simulation of the columns. The simulation results are compared with the tests results which reveal that good agreements exist between them. Thus, the proposed simulation method of the columns is verified. In order to assess the stiffness of the columns under different conditions, various load eccentricities (0 mm, 25 mm, and 50 mm), cross-sectional configurations (circular, rectangular, and square), and steel tube thicknesses (2 mm, 3.35 mm, and 5 mm) are adopted for the developed columns. The columns are simulated and analysed based on the verified simulation method considering the mentioned conditions. As a conclusion, the stiffness of the columns is generally reduced by the increase of the load eccentricity from 0 mm to 25 mm and 50 mm. Further, more uniform distribution of the stiffness is witnessed for the columns with lower eccentricities. In addition, the enhancement of the load eccentricity increased the reduction slope of the stiffness graph for the columns. Although the initial stiffness of the circular column is slightly lower than the rectangular and square columns, the stiffness has more uniform distribution which is preferred. Larger stiffness is achieved for the columns by increasing the steel tube thickness from 2 mm to 3.35 mm and 5 mm.
