RGB Photoelasticity: Review and Improvements
2010
: This paper considers the main developments of RGB photoelasticity with reference to the maximum measurable retardation. In this paper, a new procedure based on the standard error function evaluated on a subset of the calibration array is also proposed and experimentally tested. The experiments show that the filament lamp makes it possible to find retardations until approximately 4 fringe orders while the fluorescent lamp makes it possible to determine higher fringe orders (12 fringe orders in this paper) owing to the discrete spectrum of the source. The paper shows that, by using the incandescent lamp, the primary limiting factor is the lack of modulation of the R, G and B signals wherea…
Local reinforcement effect of embedded strain gauges
2010
The reinforcement effect of strain gauges installed on low Young's modulus materials has received attention by many researchers with respect to both strain gauges installed on the surface [1,2] and embedded inside the material [3,4]. In the case of strain gauges installed on the surface, the evaluation of the local reinforcement effect gives [5] the following correction coefficient C, i.e. the ratio between the actual strain (without the strain gauge) and the strain ' measured by the strain gauge: * ' 1 sg s E C E (1) being * sg g , sg sg sg sg sg sg t L L E E L t t (2) where Esg is the Young’s modulus of the strain gauge, * Esg is a characteristic of the strain gauge which gives the strain…
INFLUENCE OF UNCERTAINTIES ON PD TUNING
2013
The aim of this work is to present a method for tuning the parameters of PD controller under the influences of the uncertainties, in order to stabilize the position of a rotor supported by active magnetic bearings (AMBs). The uncertainties are relative to mass, transverse and polar moment of inertia of the rotor. The introduction of the uncertainties is due to an incomplete modeled dynamic of the system or in the case the system being subjected to a parametric variation. The presence of the uncertainties produces a set of differences among the values of the output. Poles displacement method is used to reach the asymptotically stability condition characterized by a periodic oscillation durin…
Design and use of a Fatigue Test Machine in Plane Bending for Composite Specimens and Bonded Joints
2011
Polymeric and composites materials are increasingly used in industry as structural parts, so that specific information on their mechanical properties "at long term" (creep, relaxation, fatigue) are requested. The design and implementation of these components also requires that they are permanently connected together to perform certain functions. The use of adhesives in structural joints has increased over recent years thanks to the continuous development by companies which provide the market with adhesive having better and better mechanical properties. The main areas relate to the aerospace, aeronautical and automotive industries, where requirements are required for lightness and reliabilit…
TOWARD A DESIGN METHOD FOR METAL-COMPOSITE CO-CURED JOINT BASED ON THE G-SIFs
2013
Abstract In this work, a systematic study of the singular stress field in the zone where the interface intersects the free edge surfaces of bonded metal-composite co-cured joints, has been performed. The obtained theoretical, numerical and experimental results have permitted to detect the relationships between the joint configuration and the singular stress field, as well as to implement a new design method based on the so called generalised stress intensity factors. Such a proposed method allows the user to predict the static strength of a generic metal-composite co-cured joint, vs. the main influence parameters as the elastic modulus of the coupled materials, the overlap length, the taper…
Novel algorithms for 3D surface point cloud boundary detection and edge reconstruction
2019
Abstract Tessellated surfaces generated from point clouds typically show inaccurate and jagged boundaries. This can lead to tolerance errors and problems such as machine judder if the model is used for ongoing manufacturing applications. This paper introduces a novel boundary point detection algorithm and spatial FFT-based filtering approach, which together allow for direct generation of low noise tessellated surfaces from point cloud data, which are not based on pre-defined threshold values. Existing detection techniques are optimized to detect points belonging to sharp edges and creases. The new algorithm is targeted at the detection of boundary points and it is able to do this better tha…
Optimal manufacturing and mechanical characterization of high performance biocomposites reinforced by sisal fibers
2018
Abstract The increasing interest about eco-sustainable materials in the industrial production (automotive, civil construction, packaging), has led to the increase of the research works dealing with biocomposites. However, until now the most attention has been devoted to the development of short fiber biocomposites for non-structural applications, whereas only a few works have considered high performance biocomposites for structural applications. Consequently, the development of structural biocomposites from robust natural fibers, as sisal fibers, is a result expected from the scientific community, but not yet achieved. In order to give a contribution to the implementation of high performanc…
“La cosa”, tra l’architettura e il packaging
2015
In questi ultimi decenni le linee di confine fra settori scientifico disciplinari contigui sono diventate, in molti casi, delle trincee invalicabili. Tale pratica ha formato ambiti sempre più specialistici, generando, in alcuni casi, docenti ritenuti indispensabili per raggiungere determinati esiti nella didattica, nella ricerca e nell’attività professionale. Design, architettura e urbanistica sono divenuti compartimenti stagni, subendo un processo involutivo di allontanamento e contraddicendo l’esperienza di molti protagonisti del Movimento Moderno. Partendo da questo stato di fatto, è stato interessante osservare, con lo stesso modus operandi di chi abitualmente si occupa di progettazione…
EFFETTO DELLA PRESSURIZZAZIONE DEI FORI E DELL’INDENTAZIONE ANULARE SULLA VITA A FATICA DI PROVINI IN LEGA DI ALLUMINIO
2011
Nel lavoro è investigato il comportamento a fatica di lastre forate in lega di alluminio. In particolare è valutata l‟influenza combinata dell‟espansione a freddo dei fori e dell‟indentazione sul miglioramento della vita a fatica. A tal fine sono state condotte diverse prove di fatica aventi lo scopo di valutare il numero di cicli a rottura e la conseguente curva di Wöhler. I risultati sperimentali sono stati confrontati con quelli ottenuti senza la realizzazione di alcun processo di espansione e di espansione-indentazione. Lo studio ha permesso di concludere che il processo di espansione ed indentazione anulare determina un ritardo nella nascita della cricca e della conseguente rottura a f…
Generation of narrowband antisymmetric lamb waves using a formed laser source in the ablative regime
2007
A formed laser source, using a four-element lenticular array, is used in the ablative regime to generate select, narrowband, acoustic plate waves. The arrangement of the array produces acoustical signals that have frequencies compatible with the response of the broadband capacitive air-coupled transducer used in this study. A simplified concept is presented to explain the effect of a line array source on the frequency content of acoustic waves. The analytical model for a point pulse surface displacement is derived from the point load solution to Lamb's problem. The point pulse displacement elements of a line array source are summed mathematically, taking into account all applicable propagat…
