MULTI AXIAL TESTING OF ADHESIVELY BONDEDJOINTS OF FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS

2015

International audience; In order to predict the mechanical behaviorof adhesively bonded joints, it is necessary to develop robust numerical models.This robustness is only reached if an extensive experimental database with tensile, shear and complex combined peel and shear loads can beestablished. The purpose of this study is to present a multi axialdevice for testing adhesively bonded joints, using KS2-type specimens traditionally utilized for spot-weld characterization. The tests were conducted on a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymer(PA6-6) composite adhesively bonded with a flexible polyurethane adhesive. This adhesive/substrate combination allowsshort process times and good per…

Multi-wavelength surveys: object detectability an nir luminosity function of galaxies

2011

El estudio de la evolución de la FL se extendió al rango infrarrojo, en las bandas en reposo J y H, hasta redshift 3.5. Este fue el resutlado del análisis de tres catálogos públicos desde los proyectos MUSYC, FIRES y FIREWORKS. El análisis nos permitió medir por primera vez la FL en la banda H de reposo de galaxias de campo en el rango de redshift z ¿ [1.5,3.5]; al mismo tiempo, el mayor volumen nos permitió mejorar de manera significativa la medida del extremo brillante de la FL. Desde el punto de vista espectroscópico, desarrollamos un método novedoso para el análisis de espectros con baja razón señal-ruido, parecido a los utilizados en el análisis de datos de rayos X. El método consiste …

A Conceptual Restructuring of Spatial Motion Expressions in Chinese L2

2018

This paper focuses on the patterns in the encoding of spatial motion events that play a major role in the acquisition of these type of expressions. The goal is to single out the semantic contribution of the linguistic items which surface in Chinese locative constructions. In this way, we intend to provide learners with an account of the spatial representation encoded in the Chinese language. In fact, Chinese grammar is often perceived as idiosyncratic, thus generating a frustration that turns into learned helplessness (Maier and Seligman, 1976). We will analyze Talmy (2000a,b) framework under the light of investigations such as Landau and Jackendoff (1993), Svenonius (2004, 2006, 2007), and…

Systematic approach to β and 2vββ decays of mass A=100-136 nuclei

2015

In this work we perform a systematic study of pairs of single-β-decaying nuclei in the mass region A = 100–136 to extract information on the effective value of the axial-vector coupling constant gA. As the many-body framework we use the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) and its proton-neutron variant (pnQRPA) in singleparticle valence bases with Woods-Saxon-calculated single-particle energies. It is found that, to a reasonable approximation, gA is a linear function of the mass number A, with a slightly different parametrization below and above the mass A = 121. Using the values of gA extracted from the linear fit, as well as an average constant value of gA, we calculate the tw…

Bifurcation method of stability analysis and some applications

2014

In this paper a new approach to the analysis of implicitly given function- als is developed in the frame of elastic stability theory. The approach gives an effective procedure to analyse stability behaviour, and to determine the bifur- cation points. Examples of application of the proposed approach for analysis of stability are presented, more precisely we consider the stability problem of an axially moving elastic panel, with no external applied tension, performing transverse vibrations. The analysis is applicable for many practical cases, for example, paper making and band saw blades.

A thermoelastic instability problem for axially moving plates

2016

Problems of stability and deformation of a moving web, traveling between a system of rollers at a constant velocity are considered. The plate is subjected to a combined thermomechanical loading, including pure mechanical in-plane tension and also centripetal forces. Thermal strains corresponding to thermal tension and bending of the plate are accounted for. The problem of out-of-plane thermomechanical divergence (buckling) is reduced to an eigenvalue problem, which is studied analytically.

Estimates for Divergence Velocities of Axially Moving Orthotropic Thin Plates

2014

Some models for axially moving orthotropic thin plates are investigated analytically via methods of complex analysis to derive estimates for critical plate velocities. Linearised Kirchhoff plate theory is used, and the energy forms of steady-state models are considered with homogeneous and inhomogeneous tension profiles in the cross direction of the plate. With the help of the energy forms, some limits for the divergence velocity of the plate are found analytically. In numerical examples, the derived lower limits for the divergence velocity are analysed for plates with small flexural rigidity. peerReviewed

Electrodynamic Control of the Combustion Characteristics and Heat Energy Production

2015

ABSTRACTElectric field effects (EFE) on combustion characteristics, heat energy production, and composition of polluting emissions have been investigated experimentally for different types of fuels (natural gas, biomass) providing experimental study of the EFE in a district heating boiler and complex modeling experiments in a small-scale pilot device. The DC field-induced variations of the produced heat energy, efficiency of heat energy production, flame characteristics, and the composition of polluting emissions have been studied for a positively biased axially inserted electrode and negatively biased (grounded) heat surfaces by varying the applied DC voltage, net current, and consumed ele…

Some conventional and unconventional educational column stability Problems

2006

Two interesting problems are considered for enriching the curriculum of the Strength of Materials course, in the light of recently developed functionally graded materials (FGMs), characterized with the smooth variation of the elastic modulus. These are problems associated with buckling of columns with variable flexural rigidity along the axis of the column. A simple semi-inverse method is proposed for determining closed-form solutions of axially inhomogeneous columns. In order for the presentation to be given in one package, the conventional problems are also recapitulated along with the novel ones. The main approach adopted here is the use of the second-order differential equation, instea…
