However, compared to other industrial rubbers, there are only few published studies on the fatigue behavior of HNBR. Moreover, it is important to understand how fatigue resistance is affected by the formulation of HNBR, specifically by the content of acrylonitrile (ACN) monomers and percentage of hydrogenation (number of saturated bonds). First, fatigue experiments are carried out for unaged samples at 120°C, which is the median operating temperature for these HNBR blends. Five HNBR blends are tested with various contents of acrylonitrile and various percentages of hydrogenation. Afterwards, testing is carried out one of the blend, i.e. HNBR with 36% ACN and 96% hydrogenation at 150°C for simultaneous ageing and fatigue conditions. For fatigue life experiments, the Wöhler curve is built according to a novel experimental approach of true stress control for four loading levels and R=0 loading ratio. Preliminary results with thermal ageing are subsequently presented.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20470,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Engineering","volume":"213 ","pages":"Pages 153-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.proeng.2018.02.017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73634687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evacuation space in this model is discretized into cells with larger size than that of the microscopic models. This mesoscopic model directly computes the density flow between the cells governed by the density flow algorithm. The computation speed is higher than the traditional cellular automata model in which the movements of all pedestrians should be tracked for calculating the crowd density. To test the feasibility of this model, we applied it to a typical scenario in which pedestrians evacuate from a square room with single exit and conducted parameter sensitivity study on the length of the time step δ. The simulation results show that, within a valid range, changing δ only has minor influence on the evacuation process. We can directly identify area with high density as bottleneck from dynamically changed density map even the relatively large time step is adopted. In addition, the commercial package AnyLogic was used to benchmark the performance of this model. The results show that the mesoscopic model discerns evacuation patterns in more details compared to the macroscopic models and with higher efficiently computational speed than the microscopic models.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20470,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Engineering","volume":"211 ","pages":"Pages 614-620"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.proeng.2017.12.055","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74090826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The statement is justified by the presence of world’s largest delta, one of the largest river systems carrying a huge amount of water and sediment discharge as well as prevalence of a number of natural hazards. These characteristics make the region very dynamic and sensitive to changes. Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world and human development activities to accommodate the large population have caused major disruptions to the dynamics of the natural system. The study focuses on such a case where anthropogenic activities, such as polderization, dam construction etc. have disrupted the natural land building process and have caused persistent waterlogging in the southwest region of Bangladesh. The rivers in the region are naturally characterized by active deposition of sediment in riverbed causing reduced drainage capacity. Moreover, construction of coastal polders that de-linked the flood plains from the rivers, and diminished upstream flow during the dry season deteriorated the sedimentation problem in the region. The study delineates different hydrological parameters and characteristics of the deposited sediments along with identification of social vulnerabilities. The investigated hydrological and sedimentological characteristics refer to the existing sediment management as well as provide a framework for the future development works in the pre-identified TRM sites.

With the aid of X-ray computed tomography (CT), internal discontinuities and geometry deviations can be accurately detected and visualized. However, the question remains in how far a given defect affects mechanical failure. We aim at bridging this gap by structural mechanics simulations based on CT images. In this study, we describe a method to predict the tensile strength and the location of crack initiation from the simulated stress distributions on the basis of local stress concentrations. We validate the method for tensile rods and real-life aeronautic parts which were additively manufactured from an AlSi10Mg aluminum alloy. Thirty-six specimens were manufactured in total, where different porosity patterns were deliberately inserted. The specimens were CT-scanned in high resolution. Structural mechanics simulations were carried out on basis of the CT images. An immersed-boundary finite elements code is used. The generation of a conforming simulation mesh is not required, making the code suitable especially for complex geometries like porous objects. The same test specimens were subjected to destructive physical tensile tests. We show that there is a very good correlation between the predicted and measured tensile strengths, and that the location of the first crack occurrence can be forecasted accurately.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20470,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Engineering","volume":"213 ","pages":"Pages 69-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.proeng.2018.02.008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77346089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
