It is demonstrated that the drop in natural frequencies also depends on the location of the pliable region, because different curvatures of individual modes relate to a specific position on the beam, which are related to an extent of deformation during bending oscillation. Degree of curvature of modes has an effect on a degree of decrease of their corresponding natural frequencies. Based on these statements, the principle of locating the pliable region on the beam is formulated based on a comparison of drops ratio of natural frequencies of the considered model with the polynomially approximated ratios. This method of locating pliable regions can be used in practice to diagnose machines or structures using an impact test.","PeriodicalId":38731,"journal":{"name":"Gong Cheng Li Xue/Engineering Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41901365","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 device was assembled, made of easily accessible components and 3D printed parts and initial tests proving its functionality were performed. The construction of the device was presented and tests were carried out to verify the functionality of the device on the basis of puncture through selected materials.

Despite several models having been developed to predict multiaxial ratcheting, they often fail when validated with experimental data collected under a wide array of loading conditions. In this study, an experimental setup was developed and an autonomous testing procedure was used to experimentally analyze the evolution of the yield surface shape due to cyclic biaxial loading. Thin-walled tubular test specimens were made of 304L steel with a diameter of 40 mm and underwent axial-torsional testing using the Instron 8852 system. The total axial strain was increased from 0 to 1% while the total shear strain underwent 5 cycles with the strain amplitude of 0.5% and the mean strain of 0.5%. Three yield surfaces were measured after the straining sequence was completed. Results showed strong directional distortional hardening and good agreement between the flow vectors and the normals to the yield surface, lending support to the associative flow rule.","PeriodicalId":38731,"journal":{"name":"Gong Cheng Li Xue/Engineering Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43166558","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}

Unfortunately, this topic is still not described sufficiently. Thus, a high strength steel specimen was subjected to a numerical analysis studying the mutual interaction of a fatigue crack and a corrosion pit within this work. Finite element method was utilized to model an inclined surface crack near a corrosion pit and then, the multi-parameter form of maximum tangential stress criterion was applied to estimate the crack deflection angle. Because the simulations were linear and parametric, it was easy to investigate effect of individual parameters on the results obtained. In the paper presented, the influence of the crack length, the number of the Williams expansion terms considered for tangential stress approximation and the critical distance, where the fracture criterion was applied, is discussed. The conclusions formulated based on the results of the study shall help to better understand how the fatigue crack behavior can be affected via presence of corrosion defects.","PeriodicalId":38731,"journal":{"name":"Gong Cheng Li Xue/Engineering Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41884124","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}

Regular wing sectioning nowadays consists of 4 sections, with considerable weight differences between the inner and the outer sections. The option to use 3-piece sectioning is reviewed and combined with 2 wingspan variants. The splitting location, based on the equal weight distribution among the sections, is calculated according to the wing weight distribution model. The following structural design provided a more accurate wing mass value and the weight distribution model. The original and the calculated weight distributions are compared and an improvement is suggested for later application.","PeriodicalId":38731,"journal":{"name":"Gong Cheng Li Xue/Engineering Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41672789","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}
