Considered slender and top-hat-shaped GLARE samples are made of hybrid composite that consists of alternating thin layers of aluminum alloy sheets and unidirectional glass fiberreinforced prepregs. Composite specimens were axially compressed in laboratory tests by the electromechanical static testing unit of Instron that provided a displacement control loading. Deformations were measured in full load range until specimen fracture by means of Aramis 3D noncontact optical equipment that uses the digital image correlation (DIC) method. The behavior of thinwalled GLARE members was analyzed with the primary attention to post-buckling response. Simultaneously, numerical simulations by FEM were performed to predict the load-carrying capacity of thin-walled sections. Comparative post-buckling analysis was performed based on nominal stress state in both non-degraded and degraded structure. For the latter, the damage evolution law was introduced by the material property degradation method (MPDG), which allowed a gradual reduction of material stiffness based on assumed damage variables. The impact of damage variables on the laminate loadcarrying capacity and predicted damage mode was investigated. Presented numerical results were found to be in a high agreement with experimental damage tests.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87284827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nedelcu","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3867168","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3867168","url":null,"abstract":"The thin plane plates are largely used in practice as single elements or as components of the thin-walled members. When subjected to compression, they exhibit a large post-critical strength reserve. Various analytical solutions of the uniformly compressed simply supported plate with large deflections were reported almost a century ago, mainly solving the fundamental equations of the flat thin plates or using classic energy methods. Owing to several disadvantages, these solutions were not introduced in the design codes of thin-walled structures, instead the semi-empirical Winter formula is nowadays largely used. This study presents a new semi-analytical solution based on classic energy methods. The main innovation is brought by the considered displacement field which is far more accurate than the ones used by the previous formulations. The advantages over the Winter formula are the improved accuracy and the consideration of the initial geometric imperfections. The advantages over the numerical simulations are the very small number of degrees of freedom and consequently the speed of the geometric nonlinear analysis in the elastic domain. The proposed solutions are validated against numerical solutions and experimental data.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85594799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Beyond The Track: An Exploration and Synthesis of Three Roller Coasters","authors":"Ryan Cataldo","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3876712","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3876712","url":null,"abstract":"There is more beyond the surface of a roller coaster than just hills and drops. Every functional coaster on earth has scrutinous engineering and special principles behind it. Not all coasters are built equally, though. A handful of manufacturers from across the globe are responsible for fabricating these steel machines. Each manufacturer has its own unique style of track, support structure, and train design. Moreover, each company follows different layout guidelines and principles. The specialties of three vastly different roller coaster manufacturers are compared throughout this paper, including their history, highlights, and pitfalls. The three manufacturers under consideration are Bolliger and Mabillard (“B&M”), Gerstlauer, and Rocky Mountain Construction (“RMC”). To study their unique styles, a specific coaster built by each manufacturer is being evaluated. Dueling Dragons, a defunct inverted coaster that once stood at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, is being analyzed to represent B&M’s coasters. The Smiler, an infamous fourteen-looping coaster at Alton Towers, is explored to exemplify Gertslauer’s engineering. Finally, Iron Gwazi, a yet-to-open hybrid coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, is evaluated to understand RMC’s rides. Overall, this paper analyzes a coaster that does not exist anymore, one that is still operating as of May 2021, and an unopened ride as of the date of this paper’s authorship. To streamline the study of each coaster and manufacturer, each was evaluated via a variety of lenses. The first of these lenses, Manufacturer Overview, gives brief insight into the history and basics of each engineering firm. Following, Important Dates and History provides a backstory of the conception, design process, opening, struggles, and changes to each coaster. Afterwards, specific lenses such as Track Design, Support System, Train Design, Programming, and Lift System meticulously explore the details of each topic. These five lenses were selected because each aspect is quite different between all three manufacturers. Then, Ride-Through Description provides a detailed written explanation of the coaster’s experience from an on-ride perspective. Thematic Marketing discusses the theme of the coaster and its related advertising campaign. To draw conclusions, Highlights of the Manufacturer and Pitfalls of the Manufacturer describe what the company excels at based on the previous analysis, and what they can improve upon. To expand further, Redesign Considerations proposes realistic changes that could improve the coaster under consideration. The Summary lens restates all the notable points about the ride, and why the coaster and its manufacturer are important to the amusement industry. After the analysis of the details, strengths, and weaknesses of each manufacturer, a new hypothetical coaster named Galactic Twist is proposed. This coaster would combine the best elements and engineering principles from all three manufacturers’ roller coasters into","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86661661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lattice distortion effects in conventional alloys and high-entropy alloys are known to be different but lack of clarification. In this study, FCC-structured dilute solid solutions of Ni, Ni–2at.%W, and Ni–4at.%W and concentrated solutions of equiatomic CrFeNi and CoCrFeMnNi metals were designed to compare their tensile properties. The lattice distortion of both W-containing alloys was only around the large and strong W atoms but that of the two concentrated solutions with similar inter-element atomic size and shear modulus prevailed at all lattice sites. Results showed that the trends in both types of lattice distortion were significantly different on tensile properties. The combination with strength and ductility from high concentration of distorted lattice points was superior over that from low concentration ones even the latter had larger nominal atomic size difference and shear modulus difference. The evolution mechanisms on different mechanical properties from dilute alloys to concentrated alloys were elucidated and clarified under the large contrast of lattice distortion. The universal solid solution strengthening mechanism had been established.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81984379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pratama, Niall Mac Dowell","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3821841","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3821841","url":null,"abstract":"The 21st century grids are characterised by increasing complexity of the system: high intermittent renewable energy sources (iRES) penetration requires additional flexibility and ancillary services from the other technologies (for example inertia, frequency responses, etc.). Accordingly, evaluating power technologies, i.e., power generation and storage, with LCOE, that exclusively emphasises the value of energy, alone can be misleading. On the other hand, performing detailed modeling analysis requires an enormous amount of effort and data which may not be accessible. To fill this gap, this study proposes a new metric to evaluate the performance of power technologies in the system. In addition to energy, a range of ancillary services is also considered. To balance completeness and ease of use, only the most valuable services are included in the new concept. To quantify the value of those services, we employed the Electricity System Optimisation framework with ancillary services (ESO-ANCIL) using UK electricity system as the case. Our analysis shows that although all services are valuable, capacity and energy services are the most significant. Whilst the technology screening curve is a practical approach to value those services and to derive optimal technology mix based on the system’s load duration curve, such method cannot evaluate iRES and electricity storage in the system. Therefore, we introduced a new set of rules and formulations to allow the application of the analysis for those technologies. As such, the proposed concept is particularly valuable to estimate the optimal deployment level and role or power technologies in providing energy and capacity services to the grid. Our proposed concept proves to be an easy-to-use concept that is capable in valuing a more complete set of services offered by power generation and storage technologies and can be used as an alternative to the LCOE.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89606971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a reference case for the benchmarking a conventional absorber/stripper configuration with 30wt% MEA as solvent was used. For the cost calculation the Aspen In Plant Cost Estimator (AIPCE) tool combined with an in-house tool were used and the assessment criteria were the Specific Primary Energy Consumption for CO2 Avoided (SPECCA) and the cost of CO2 avoided. The determined SPECCA for both the membrane alternatives are similar, but approximately half of the SPECCA for the reference case. Since the cost of the membrane is highly uncertain, a sensitivity analysis was performed, but it turned out that only one of the membrane process alternatives with the lowest membrane cost outperforms the reference case related to avoided cost. Though the OPEX costs are promising for four of the membrane cases, capital costs are high for all membrane cases. These results are based on a specification of 90% capture rate and at least 95% purity of the separated CO2.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88340465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Investigations of the work-hardening processes and dislocation configurations in tensile and compressive testing reveal that this general rule arises because there is a common mechanism for these three kinds of wrought alloys whereby the tendency for cross-slip increases monotonously with aging time. By analyzing the work-hardening exponent and the stacking fault energy, it is demonstrated that the change in the dislocation slip mode is attributed mainly to the formation of second phases rather than to the matrix composition. Accordingly, a new work-hardening model is proposed for wrought Al alloys containing second phases and this explains the interaction between dislocations and second phases and other relevant experimental phenomena. This study is therefore beneficial for quantitatively investigating and optimizing the strength and plasticity of wrought aluminum alloys.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85836155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relatively large crack width not only spoils the aesthetics of the concrete structural elements but can also lead to structural failure. This study aims to determine the crack width of a rigid pavement concrete slab located above the subgrade which is considered a beam on an elastic foundation, so that a minimum rigid pavement concrete slab thickness can be recommended. The specimen will be observed at various thicknesses to obtain the optimum thickness. The load used is a centralized monotonous load, which represents the load of the truck vehicle. The research limitation is using a test object in the form of a concrete plate measuring 2000x600 mm which is placed on the ground with CBR=6 %. The quality of reinforced concrete slabs is fc'=40 MPa and fy=440.31 MPa. The thickness of the concrete slab varies between 100 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm. The slab placed on the ground is then given a central loading in the form of a centralized monotonic load. The loading range starts from a load of 2–180 kN with a load interval of 2 kN. The experimental results show that the rigid pavement slab has a bending failure so that the crack pattern that occurs begins with the first crack on the underside of the slab. The crack pattern in terms of slab thickness variation has a similar pattern. The initial crack width on the slab is 0.04 mm. The thicker the slab smaller the crack width at the same load. Based on the maximum allowable crack width=0.3 mm. For loads between (80–100) kN (Road Class I, II, and III), a minimum thickness of rigid pavement slabs (70–80) mm is recommended.
