Abstract Various rubber articles are subjected in ordinary service to repeated stretching, compression and cutting and to combinations of such forces. Repeated flexing is frequently encountered also. All these forces cause repeated changes, either positive or negative, in the dimensions of the outside surface of the rubber article. Among the important rubber products which undergo such stresses are tires, belts and shoe soles. The stresses to which the tread of a tire is subjected are certainly complex and variable. In this particular case, there are, in addition to the initial static tension, forces of compression, flexing and torsion. A rubber belt offers a simpler problem, for in this case it is possible to distinguish the following cycle of changes on the outside surface: a constant elongation in the taut section of the belt; a sudden increase in elongation on passing over the driving pulley, during which time a constant flexing stress (which depends on the curvature of the pulley) must be added to the tension on the belt; a decreased elongation along the surface of the belt in contact with the pulley; and finally a rapid return to the minimum value existing in the belt when under no tension. An analogous cycle of changes takes place at the driven pulley. Each element of the surface of a belt undergoes, therefore, during each complete revolution, two periods of tension, between which the element is alternately in the taut and in the slack section of the belt.

SummaryHuman platelets exposed to hypotonicity undergo regulatory volume decrease (RVD), controlled by a potent, yet labile, lipoxygenase product (LP). LP is synthesized and excreted during RVD affecting selectively K+ permeability. LP is assayed by its capacity to reconstitute RVD when lipoxygenase is blocked. Centrifugation for preparing washed platelets (1,550 × g, 10 min) is sufficient to express LP activity, with declining potency in repeated centrifugations, indicating that it is not readily replenish-able. When platelet suspension flows in a vinyl tubing (1 mm i.d.), at physiological velocity, controlled at 90–254 cm/s, LP formation increases as a function of velocity but declines as result of increasing the tubing length. Stirring the platelets in an aggregometer cuvette for 30 s, yields no LP unless the stirring is intermittent. No associated platelet lysis or aggregation are observed following the mechanical stress applications. These results demonstrate that although mechanical stresses result in LP production, the mode of its application plays a major role. These results may indicate that LP is synthesized under pathological conditions and could be of relevance to platelets behavior related to arterial stenosis.

Abstracta-Si:H films were prepared by hot wire chemical vapor deposition. One group was deposited at a substrate temperature of Ts=250°C with varied hydrogen-dilution ratio, 0<R<10; the other group was deposited with fixed R=3 but a varied Ts from 150 to 550°C. IR, Raman and PL spectra were studied. The Raman results indicate that there is a threshold value for the microstructure transition from a- to μc-Si. The threshold is found to be R ≈ 2 at Ts = 250°C and Ts ≈ 200°C at R=3. The IR absorption of Si-H at 640 cm-1 was used to calculate the hydrogen content, CH. CH decreased monotonically when either R or Ts increased. The Si-H stretching mode contains two peaks at 2000 and 2090 cm-1. The ratio of the integral absorption peaks I2090/(I2090+I2090) showed a sudden increase at the threshold of microcrystallinity. At the same threshold, the PL features also indicate a sudden change from a- to μc-Si., i.e. the low energy PL band becomes dominant and the PL total intensity decreases. We attribute the above IR and PL changes to the contribution of microcrystallinity, especially the c-Si gain-boundaries.

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) beam finite element model was developed to investigate the torsional stiffness of a twisted steel-reinforced cord-rubber belt structure. The present 3D beam element takes into account the coupled extension, bending, and twisting deformations characteristic of the complex behavior of cord-rubber composite structures. The extension-twisting coupling due to the twisted nature of the cords was also considered in the finite element model. The results of torsional stiffness obtained from the finite element analysis for twisted cords and the two-ply steel cord-rubber belt structure are compared to the experimental data and other alternate solutions available in the literature. The effects of cord orientation, anisotropy, and rubber core surrounding the twisted cords on the torsional stiffness properties are presented and discussed.

A method of ultrasonic control of the mechanical stresses which takes into account the heterogeneity of the material structure and does not require unloading of the structure or using reference samples is considered. The procedure is based on echo-method of measuring time of the bulk elastic wave propagation and determination of the relative values ν31 and ν32 related to the material structure and mechanical stresses. It is shown that stresses violate the linearity of the relationship observed between the parameters in the absence of the mechanical stresses in the rolled material. This effect formed a basis for developing a method of the deviator stress determination. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the main advantages of the developed method against the known ultrasonic techniques used for evaluation of the mechanical stresses, give theoretical grounds to the effect which allows taking into account the heterogeneity of the material structure, and also to exemplify the procedure. An analytical expression is derived using bulk elastic wave velocity in an orthotropic material composed of cubic crystallites and an assumption on the existence of simple proportional relationship between the coefficients of the orientation distribution function in rolled metal. Presented results of the mathematical modeling confirm the experimentally observed linear dependence between the parameters ν31 and ν32 in the absence of mechanical stresses. The results of evaluating residual stresses in a welded steel plate are presented as an example of the applicability of the developed procedure. Data of ultrasonic technique and data of strain gage measurements are compared. The features of the described method of stress determination are marked and the applicability limits are specified.

This paper is concerned with the study of the kinematic and kinetic analysis of a slider crank linkage using D'Alembert's principle. The links of the considered mechanism are assumed to be rigid. The analytical solution to observe the motion (displacement, velocity, and acceleration), reactions at each joint, torque required to drive the mechanism and the shaking force have been computed by a computer program written in MATLAB language over one complete revolution of the crank shaft. The results are compared with a finite element simulation carried out by using ANSYS Workbench software and are found to be in good agreement. A graphical method (relative velocity and acceleration method) has been also applied for two phases of the crank shaft (q2 = 10° and 130°). The results obtained from this method (graphical) are compared with those obtained from analytical and numerical method and are found very acceptable. To make the analysis linear the friction force on the joints and sliding interface are neglected. All results, in this work, are obtained when the crank shaft turns at a uniform angular velocity (w2 = 188.5 rad/s) and time dependent gas pressure force on the slider crown.
