Bond between reinforcing bar and surrounding concrete is supposed to transfer load safely in the process of design of reinforced concrete structures. The effects of defomation properties on bond of reinforcing bars to concrete are studied. Beam-end tests are used to investigate the effects of machining of bars in addition to rib angle and relative rib area. The test results show that bond strength of machined bars were higher than the conventional bars produced in factory. Higher rib height bars with rib angle $30^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$ showed higher bond strength than lower rib height bars with low angle.

During cold compaction processes loose powder is pressed under tooling action in order to produce complex shaped engineering components. Here, the analysis of the plastic deformation of granular packings is of fundamental importance to the development of computer simulation models. Powders can be idealized by packing discrete particles, where each particle is a sphere meshed with finite elements. The pressing of a body centered cubic packing was compared with numerical prediction and experimental data. The global response was expressed in force-displacement curve, and the accuracy of the numerical models analyzed for high relative densities up to 0.95.

A sandwich plate with a truss core is composed of two face sheets and a truss core between the face sheets. In this paper, a metallic sandwich plate with a pyramidal truss core is investigated numerically, for its deformation and energy absorption ability under dynamic loading. To find the effect of mechanical properties on crashworthiness in the sandwich plate with a pyramidal truss core, various pyramidal cores were simulated and investigated. It appears that relative density and shear modulus of a pyramidal truss core effect the change of energy absorption.

In this study, head injury by impact force was evaluated by numerical analysis with 3-dimensional finite element (FE) model. Brain deformation by frontal head impact was analyzed to evaluate traumatic brain injury (TBI). The variations of head acceleration and intra-cranial pressure (ICP) during the impact were analyzed. Relative displacement between the skull and the brain due to head impact was investigated from this simulation. In addition, pathological severity was evaluated according to head injury criterion (HIC) from simulation with FE model. The analytic result of brain damage was accorded with that of the cadaver test performed by Nahum et al.(1977) and many medical reports. The main emphasis of this study is that our FE model was valid to simulate the traumatic brain injury by head impact and the variation of the HIC value was evaluated according to various impact conditions using the FE model.

This paper describes the global vibro-acoustic troubleshooting approach, used to identify and separate different sources of noise and vibrations on a boilerfeed pump testrig. The pump serves for rotor dynamic research of a EC-funded BRITE-Euram profect. This approach resulted in the identification of local structural flexibilities in the connections between the machinery and the base plate. The relative importance of the modes during normal operation is revealed by comparison with operational deformation shapes. The use of sound intensity mapping allowed to calculate the total sound power and to rank the equipment according to its sound power contribution. High acoustic levels were found and related to the fluid drive and to the piping system. Modification of the piping section resulted in a reduction of noise and vibration levels along the test loop and smooth operation in a wide suction pressure range.

MNDO calculations were carried out to determine reactant complexes and transition states of the $S_N2$ reactions of $CH_3X\;+\;Y^-\;{\to}\;CH_3Y\;+\;X^-$ where X = F, Cl, CN and Y = CN, OH, F, Cl. The leaving group ability was found to vary inversely with the activation barrier, which in turn was mainly ascribable to the deformation energies accompanied with bond stretching of C-X bond and inversion of $CH_3$ group. The nucleophilicity was shown to be in the order $Cl^->F^->OH^->CN^-$ but the effect on the activation barrier was relatively small compared with that of the leaving group. The bond breaking and bond formation indices and energy decomposition analysis showed that the TS for the reaction of $CH_3$Cl occurs in the early stage of the reaction coordinate relative to that of $CH_3$F. It has been shown that the potential energy surface (PES) diagrams approach can only accommodate thermodynamic effects but fails to correlate intrinsic kinetic effects on the TS structure.

The hole expansion tests using conical punch, flat punch or hemispherical punch are widely used for stretch flangeability verification of HSS. In this study, we investigate the strain distribution on the shear edges of the hole expansion test using grid marking and a projector. A small crack at the edge is distributed, resulting in a large gap between the HER and the crack strain. The strain distribution at the edges is irregular due to anisotropy of sheet metal. While an edge perpendicular to the rolling direction indicate a lower strain level compared to an edge parallel to the rolling direction, edge cracks occur at the edge perpendicular to the rolling direction. To predict the manifestation of edge cracks in FE analysis, the result of the hole expansion test with a crack strain measurement may well be a better tool than FLD. In this case, the level of strain and the direction of the edge relative to the rolling direction should be well considered.

The test results of the ITER toroidal field conductors demonstrated a decrease of the current sharing temperature (Tcs) with an increase in the number of electromagnetic cycles in general. This is associating with several factors. One of them is the superconducting Nb3Sn filaments cracking and another one is the redistribution of the relative deformation of the Nb3Sn strands under Lorentz forces. Despite these factors, some conductors have shown the absence or significantly less degradation of Tcs during electromagnetic cycling. This article considers another possible reason for a more stable conductors Tcs behavior, namely, the local compression of Nb3Sn wires in the cross section of a conductor. In this article presents the results of a quantitative analysis Nb3Sn superconducting filaments cracking of strands extracted from a conductor that has passed electromagnetic cycling and the model of a conductor compaction, as well as calculation results based on this model are presented also.

This paper describes forging of trochoidal gears, which are being widely used in timing belt pulley, pump pulley etc., as a series of development of the simulator for non-axisymmetric elements. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of trochoidal gear were proposed and the loads were calculated by numerical method. When the simulation was carried out, half pith of gear was divided into 6 deformation regions which have different velicity fields by assumptions and boundary conditions. The neutral surface was introduced into forging of trochoidal gears with flat punch and, for each step, it is assumed as a circle with its radius r$_{n}$. The experimental set-up was installed in 200 ton hydraulic press for forging. The billets, of A1 2218 aluminum alloy, were slightly phosphate-coated. It was shown that thd theoretical solutions, as upper bound, are useful to predict the forging load for forging of trochoidal gears, because thdt give estimates that are substantially higher than experimental loads.s.

The applicability of a novel incremental-iterative technique with 2D differential/integral quadrature method (DIQM) in analyzing the nonlinear behavior of Bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) porous plate based on neutral surface is verified in the present works. A formulation of four variables high shear deformation theory is used to describe the kinematic relations with respect to neutral surface rather than mid-plane. Bi-directional material distributions are presented by power functions through both thickness and axial directions. Porosities and voids are distributed by different cosine functions. The large deformations are included within the sense of nonlinear von Kármán strains. The integro-differential equilibrium equations with associated modified boundary conditions are solved numerically and iteratively by using 2D DIQM. Model validations and parametric analysis are depicted to present the influence of neutral axis, nonlinear strains, gradation indices, elastic foundations, and modified boundary conditions on the static deflection in addition to normal and shear stresses. The proposed model is effective in analyzing the static behavior of many real applications in nuclear reactors, marine and aerospace structures with large deformations.
