The tool’s rotating speed (<i>ω</i>) and transversing speed were 800–1200 rpm and 200 mm/min, respectively. The impact of the tool’s transversing speed on the properties of welded copper was analyzed while keeping the transversing speed constant. Analyzing the experimental results, it is evident that the metallographic microstructure of the welding zone undergoes similar changes at different tool rotation speeds. Specifically, the grain in the welding core zone becomes refined, while the grain near the return side appears larger. The region is the thermomechanically affected zone and heat affected zone, which experiences less agitation from the tool but undergoes compression from the matrix metal, resulting in the grain size being larger than that of the welding zone but smaller than that of the matrix metal. The same was true for the advancing side. The tensile strength of the sample, which was 266.2 MPa, exhibited a high degree of consistency with that of the base metal when the tool’s <i>ω</i> value reached 800 rpm. The hardness of each sample exceeded that of the base metal. The hardness of the sample increased by 133.2% to 185.9 HV0.2 when the tool’s <i>ω</i> value was set at 1000 rpm, surpassing that of the base metal. The friction coefficient of each sample was lower than that of the base metal.

High stresses in such nodes can lead to the appearance of angular cracks. At the same time, the issue of choosing the critical dimensions and direction of crack location from the point of view of calculations for resistance to brittle fracture remains open. The paper presents the results of numerical modeling of the stress-strain state of the nozzle zone of the reactor vessel by the classical finite element method (FEM) and the extended finite element method (XFEM) using the submodeling technique. The results of numerical modeling by the classical FEM for the mode of hydraulic testing of the reactor vessel pressure vessel nozzle zone with three types of cracks are presented: surface, subweld, and a crack with 1 mm penetration into the weld. For twelve types of cracks with variations in their size and direction of location in the reactor vessel pressure vessel nozzle zone, the results of calculations of resistance to brittle fracture by the XFEM method for one of the characteristic modes of thermal shock are presented. The calculation results proved that axial cracks are more dangerous than circular cracks of the same dimensions. Cracks with a semi-axis ratios <i>a</i>/<i>c</i> = 0.3 and <i>a</i>/<i>c</i> = 0.7 are more dangerous for the axial and circumferential directions, respectively. At the same time, cracks with <i>a</i>/<i>c</i> = 0.3 are more sensitive to the direction of location than cracks with <i>a</i>/<i>c</i> = 0.7. It was shown that the use of the XFEM method makes it possible to conduct a rapid assessment of the resistance to brittle fracture with the possibility of varying the shape, size, and location of the crack, which allows one to effectively determine its critical size and the most dangerous location in the structural element.</p>","PeriodicalId":22007,"journal":{"name":"Strength of Materials","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142265531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is proposed to divide the latter into three groups: defects in the form of cavities of various volumes and shapes, as well as contact patch defects at the adhesion boundary of the laid-down layers under the conditions of stable technological process; defects formed by random factors of a technological nature; defects arising from heterogeneities and initial differences in the material used (plastic filament). It is concluded that the loss of the bearing capacity of shells made of structural plastics (except for highly elastic ones) can be described by the development of cracks in the interlayer areas of the product in accordance with Griffiths’ theory. It is in these areas that the presence of defects is greatest.

The strength of CIP-treated specimens in three-point bending was found to be 2410 MPa, which is 13% higher than that of the CIP-nontreated ones and 30% higher than the standardized strength of a VK15 hard alloy of a similar composition. The hardness was shown to be the highest for the specimens CIP-treated before sintering, while average WC grain sizes remained unchanged compared to the CIP-nontreated ones. The predominant crystal modification of cobalt in the CIPtreated specimens was revealed to be HCP-Co, in contrast to the CIP-nontreated ones, where cobalt was mainly in the metastable FCC modification. It is shown that in the specimens CIP-treated before sintering, the cobalt content on the fracture surface is 3-4 times higher than for the nontreated ones, and the fracture crack propagates mainly along the WC matrix phase–Co binder interface. In the CIP-nontreated specimens, the crack propagates in the Co volume, and WC grains on the fracture surface are covered with cobalt interlayers of different thicknesses.

In this study, we develop a method of nonlinear analysis of plane RC frames based on the displacement method. Nonlinearity is considered under its two aspects, material and geometric. The foot-bridge is discretized into one-dimensional finite elements connecting two nodes and the loading is applied, step by step, until the structural failure. For the equilibrium state of the structure, an iterative procedure is used at each step of increase in loading where the nonlinear system is solved by using the method of successive substitutions based on the stiffness matrix connecting the increases of applied forces to the increases of nodal displacement. The influence of the tensile concrete between the cracks is taken into account in order to correctly assess the displacements under external loads and the redistribution of stresses. An automatic calculation program is thus developed. The developed method is applied to a practical example of a foot-bridge realized in Bordj Bouararidj (Algeria), whose dimensioning is realistic.

This theory permits accounting for scale effects stemming from the material microstructure dimensions, particularly in problems with the limitations of classical elasticity. The variational formulation of the boundary problem is examined where strains, stresses, and their gradients enter into the variational equations along with displacements as equivalent arguments. The key feature of these equations is that they involve only the first-order partial derivatives of displacements, in contrast to the differential equations of the classical problem formulation that involve the derivatives of displacements to the fourth order inclusive, and the Lagrange variational equation in displacements, which incorporates their double differentiation. Their solution based on the mixed finite element method greatly simplifies the choice of approximation functions since there is no need to use finite elements that ensure the continuity of the first displacement derivatives at the element boundaries. This formulation based on a separate approximation of displacements, strains, stresses, and their gradients, is applied to solving the boundary problems of elasticity theory, where the strain gradient is included. For the mixed-method variational equations, the condition is formulated so as to ensure the uniqueness of the solution and stability of the mixed approximation for gradient elasticity theory problems. This condition is defined with the orthogonal projection operator that establishes a one-to-one correspondence between the classical and mixed approximation of strain distributions. A well-suited formulation for the practical application of variational equations for displacements and strains is proposed with the weakest requirements for mixed approximation stability.</p>","PeriodicalId":22007,"journal":{"name":"Strength of Materials","volume":"172 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141869439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
