In all tests, water and air are used as jet and cross-flow gas, respectively. The main target of this work is to cover the higher range of momentum ratios and Weber numbers for the presentation of a more accurate equation for jet trajectory. To achieve a desirable scale of experiments, the range of momentum ratio is considered from 5 to 211 and the Weber number of gasses in all tests is between 1.1–19.1. For data mining and measurements, the shadowgraph method is used. It is shown that by increasing the momentum ratio (about 84%), the breakup point height is increased (about 94%). Three different types of breakups were observed in the tests. It observed that as the Weber number increases, the type of jet column mechanism changes. It also revealed that the type of breakup mechanism would not have a significant effect on the jet trajectory. In addition, it demonstrated that the momentum ratio parameter would have a decisive role in the direction of jet motion, and as the momentum ratio increases, the jet column height increases. Finally, an equation for the trajectory of jet flight under all test conditions is presented.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":553,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Techniques","volume":"48 3","pages":"449 - 459"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88016123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well known that the experimental estimation of structural excitations is very difficult with current technology. This paper proposes a scheme to improve the performance of the frequency-based substructuring (FBS) method by estimating unmeasured FRFs, including those corresponding to rotational degrees of freedom, from a set of experimentally determined translational FRFs. More specifically, the modal parameters extracted by modal analysis (EMA) from the experimentally determined FRFs are used for model updating, modal expansion and FRF synthesis. For this purpose, an approximate modelling approach is proposed, where a simplified and approximate finite element model (ASFE) is developed and updated to accurately reproduce the experimental responses. A modal expansion basis is then constructed from the ASFE to expand the mode shapes using the system equivalent reduction and expansion process (SEREP). FRF synthesis is then used to derive unmeasured translational and rotational FRFs. The synthesised FRFs within the frequency range of interest agree well with the experimental FRFs. The synthesised full FRF matrix is then used with the FBS method to derive the response model for the coupled structure in a bottom-up modelling approach.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":553,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Techniques","volume":"48 3","pages":"423 - 437"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77135805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, the model accounts for friction at the spline interface, constraints on the tilting angle, and the impact force experienced with the boundary during the tilting motion. A test rig is designed to evaluate the accuracy of the model, and the similarity between experimental and simulated signals is compared in both the time domain and frequency domain.

Materials with different coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) give rise to thermal out-of-plane deformation surrounding the bonding part, which deteriorates s–Ag die part by repeated thermal and mechanical stress during TST. For the safe and reliable design of s–Ag die toward long-term durability, the contribution of thermal and mechanical stresses to degradation should be understood separately. Clarify the overall s–Ag die degradation mechanism during TST compared to the new mechanical bending test that can apply out-of-plane deformation. The authors propose a new mechanical bending test technique, called the nine-point bending (NBT) test, which can provide out-of-plane deformation with a s–Ag die-attached specimen as TST like. By comparing NBT and TST, the degradation mechanism of the s–Ag die-attach element can be understood from both thermal and mechanical aspects. In scanning acoustic tomography (SAT) analysis, a similar degradation ratio between NBT and TST is obtained, which indicates that mechanical stress plays a significant role in deteriorating s–Ag die layer in TST. After 1000 cycles, however, cracking and s–Ag material aging coexist in TST only, destabilizing s–Ag die fracture. s–Ag main degradation cause in TST is clarified with mechanical stress by comparing NBT.

However, FEEL’s calibration process requires recording force input to the structure, which can become labor-intensive and time-consuming for applications that require a high localization accuracy and does not require force estimates. An alternative approach is proposed to use the system’s acceleration response exclusively, creating an output-to-output transfer function.

The results show that the characteristics values of Barkhausen noise envelope can be approximated by a parabolic function of the carbon content experimentally and theoretically. In the elastic region, the Barkhausen noise response exhibits progressive growth with increasing strain, and reaches saturation at a critical point for the stress-induced magnetic anisotropy. However, once plastic deformation occurs, the Barkhausen noise signal intensity appears a downward trend until specimen failure, because the increasing dislocation tangles further hinder the domain wall motion.

The advantage of this new double-stage FSSEW technique compared to the classical FSSW led to the elimination of the keyhole, which is an intrinsic flaw of the Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) process resulting in higher mechanical joint properties. The impact of the plunge depth and tool revolving speed on the characteristics of the bond was investigated. The height of the extruded aluminium was increased by increasing the tool rotation speed and the plunging depth which was the effective variable. The joint strength was increased in step 2. The two sheets are bonding together at a line of the interface by a mechanical interlock formed by a continuous metal flow of aluminium extrusion that is free of flaws. There were two mechanisms of failure in the studied samples: cleavage of the aluminium metal at the tool trace and shearing of the extruded aluminium, respectively.
