Unlike those models that used linear dependences, the authors proposed the destruction process to be represented by differential equations. The positive effect of such representation is the possibility to formulate boundary conditions using the corresponding constant in the differential equation solution. The result is that the critical load values responsible for the occurrence and propagation of quasi-brittle cracks in materials are obtained. It is stated that the maximum load of crack propagation completely or essentially depends on its initial length. These generalizations estimate the influence of stress caused by hydrogen close to crack-like defects. In the case of defect-free material, the established formula is used to determine the critical forces necessary for the occurrence of cracks with a definite length. Numerical examples for some types of materials are given to illustrate the theoretical estimates.","PeriodicalId":35748,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Engineering Modelling","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49376076","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}

A toroidal balloon mounted on a hub, in contact with a rigid flywheel, is considered. The distance between the hub and the flywheel shafts is kept constant during rotation. The balloon is modelled as a membrane structure, i.e. as a ring on elastic support without flexural stiffness. The differential equations of motion for the ring radial and circumferential displacements are formulated according to the cylindrical shell theory. It is found that the critical rotation speed is a transition parameter from a stable to unstable state, whereas the standing waves denote ring post-buckling behaviour. Boundary conditions at the ring and flywheel contact edges are specified so as to ensure the continuity of ring deformation. The internal load due to the penetration of the flywheel into the expanded ring, as well as the reaction forces in shaft bearings, are determined. The influence of the circumferential displacement on ring response is also analysed. The analytical procedure is verified by comparing the numerical and the available experimental results. In spite of a rather simple balloon model, a good qualitative agreement between the two sets of results is obtained.","PeriodicalId":35748,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Engineering Modelling","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46386068","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 complexity of drilling tools is manifested in the complex geometry, fabrication, assembly, deformations, stresses and loads acting on them. This study introduces a dual derrick simulation procedure in a marine environment which provides a step towards a better understanding by giving a simulation close to the real state. The derrick was considered in equilibrium, and then the derrick vibration was simulated using field data in order to obtain stress distribution. This implies that the derrick can move freely and cause deformations in all directions without constraints. In this paper, the finite element method was employed to simulate the derrick in a static state and in motion, and then the obtained stress distribution was compared for both cases. A literature review on the analysis of environment working conditions is provided. The results showed that the vibration of the platform increased the stress considerably. The maximum combined stress increased by 27 %, while the maximum bending stress increased by 40 % and reached considerably higher values in the beams connected to the top of the derrick.","PeriodicalId":35748,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Engineering Modelling","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46301213","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}

Two types of coil springs with a circular cross-section, i.e. straight and inclined, are clearly distinguished and analysed. The straight cross-section implies parallelism with respect to the vertical axis of the spring. The inclined cross-section considers the perpendicularity with respect to the tangent of the spring helix curve. Several new closed-form spring deflection and stress correction factors are proposed which constitutes the main contribution of this manuscript. The obtained results are based on the basic theory of strength of materials, the theory of elasticity, and linear finite element analysis. The novel correction factors prove to be very accurate compared to the parametric numerical analyses performed and the results obtained from the literature. The accuracy of the proposed corrections is especially evident when considering very large pitch angles in combination with small spring indices, i.e. thick and steep coil springs. The direct engineering applicability of the obtained results is highlighted.","PeriodicalId":35748,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Engineering Modelling","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43381912","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 study of such a bridge requires analytical, experimental, or numerical methods. The structural behavior of the box-girder bridge is very complex and is quite cumbersome to be investigated by conventional methods. This paper presents a modelling process for the analysis of simply supported reinforced concrete (RC) box-girder bridges (straight, skew, curve, and skew-curved) using the finite element method under Indian loading conditions. This modelling process is developed on the basis of the Codal provisions of Indian Road Congress (IRC) 6:2017 and IRC 21:2000, and its implementation is quite simple as it avoids the cumbersome calculations and requires less time. Different values of the span, span-depth ratio, and the number of cells are considered to suit the requirements, and limiting criteria for stresses and deflection are checked. The static and free vibration analyses are carried out, and the results are compared to control the applicability of the proposed modelling process. The present modelling process is applied to analyse the RC box-girder bridges up to 50 m spans, and no erection procedure is included. However, one may follow the proposed modelling procedure for any box-girder bridge for its analysis.","PeriodicalId":35748,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Engineering Modelling","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41698471","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}

In this simulation, the equations of motion and energy are executed using LBM and FD simultaneously. The LB method is integrated with ghost flow for predicted curve boundary. The ghost flow method is a Cartesian-based method that, in addition to being practical and straightforward, retains many advantageous features of structured meshes, can be used for complex geometries, and has a high degree of flexibility. In other words, when the body oscillates, it is important to determine its position caused by the change in the mesh structure at any time. While the ghost method detects the object's position well, the new technique can capture the details of flow more accurately and stably than the other methods. Combining the ghost method with LBM provides a new technique that can investigate thermal behavior's effect on the airfoil with greater accuracy and stability. This combination of modern methods with high accuracy and stability in complex geometries has not been studied. The results are compared with the literature and show that this method has better convergence in different Reynolds and temperatures with changes at boundary conditions in the airfoil.","PeriodicalId":35748,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Engineering Modelling","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48339845","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}
