The present paper substantiates urgency of studies on early deterioration of pavement layers and on reasons entailing it. The aim was to investigate static and dynamic loads imposed on a road surface by vehicles in order to detect signs of early deterioration of pavement and understand its reasons. Certain tasks were set: to define diagnostic capacity for performing test works on road surface with the use of static and dynamic loading equipment; to carry out an elastic modulus analysis on the basis of static and dynamic loading tests performed; to assess strength properties of flexible pavement. The paper describes methods for determining strength properties of a road surface with the use of special static and dynamic loading equipment. The authors provide data on diagnostic capacity of tests of a pavement performed with the use of special testing equipment. The paper gives a list of potentials, advantages and fundamental features of the following units of equipment: apparatus for plate bearing tests, Dina-3M, UDN-NK, Dynatest apparatus. The main parameters of equipment for dynamic loading tests are provided. The results of both dynamic and static loading tests performed in Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad region are given. Deflection bowls and elastic modulus were determined. Coefficients of the dynamic elastic modulus being reduced to the static one were calculated. Strength properties of flexible pavement were assessed.

The ASME pressure vessel and piping codes and standards provide excellent references for code writers in international jurisdictions when developing their own national codes and for safety authorities when developing regulatory acts. The inclination to customize this effort may add unnecessary complexity that unintentionally obscures the underlying engineering principles. In developing the Canadian pipeline code, the authors use the notion of maximum operating pressure or MOP similar to the MOP found in the ASME codes for pipelines. While the ASME code definitions are explicit and articulate, the MOP defined in the Canadian code is less so and has led to inadvertent confusion by industry users. Misunderstanding of complementary terminology used in ancillary ASME standards has contributed to further complexities. The use of the term, maximum allowable operating pressure or, MAOP in the ASME pipeline codes has further reduced clarity when integrating this term into international codes and regulatory acts. This paper examines, in detail, some aspects of the Canadian pipeline code and illustrates via a representative case study some of the aforementioned difficulties that have arisen. These difficulties resulted in unnecessary derating of assets by imposing operational limits that were well below actual capacity. A clear explanation of the engineering principles underlying the provisions for codes which use a “design by rules” philosophy will help operators set appropriate limits for both static and dynamic loads that may not be apparent in the specific codes considered and will be expository for regulators and code users in general.

Laminated materials incorporating plastics seem to be especially well suited lor highly stressed aircraft components, by reason of their good strength properties. Paper, fabric and wood veneers treated with plastics on a phenolic basis were tested with regard to their strength, especially in bending, shear, absorbed energy in impact bending, notching strength and in their resistance against moisture. Further, the behaviour of compressed plastics was studied at different temperatures under static and dynamic loads. A part of the research was extended to pure phenol resin and to thermoplastics based on methacrylate and polyvinylchloride. The bonding properties of laminated compressed plastics were established. Concluding, some experiments relating to the practical manufacture of aeroplane components are communicated.

ABSTRACTA recent consideration in aircraft design is the use of folding wing-tips with the aim of enabling higher aspect ratio aircraft with less induced drag while also meeting airport gate limitations. This study investigates the effect of exploiting folding wing-tips in flight as a device to reduce both static and dynamic loads. A representative civil jet aircraft aeroelastic model was used to explore the effect of introducing a wing-tip device, connected to the wings with an elastic hinge, on the load behaviour. For the dynamic cases, vertical discrete gusts and continuous turbulence were considered. The effects of hinge orientation, stiffness, damping and wing-tip weight on the static and dynamic response were investigated. It was found that significant reductions in both the static and dynamic loads were possible. For the case considered, a 25% increase in span using folding wing-tips resulted in almost no increase in loads.

For socked and non-socketed piles in the different mechanical behavior under static and dynamic loads, the paper use ABAQUS to model, simulate the pile , the soil interlayer thickness between the bottom of the pile and bedrock are 2m, 4m under vertical load and Earthquake, cushion cap, pile and pile soil stress situation found non-socketed piles when the soil interlayer thickness within a certain range, the composite pile small subside under dynamic, static loads, the non-socketed piles can better take advantage of the pile soil has a good seismic performance in the earthquake.
