In this study, the macro- and micro-texture development of copper tubes drawn with a tilted die was investigated using three methods: synchrotron, neutron diffraction, and electron backscatter diffraction, in the positions of maximum and minimum wall thickness of the tubes. Understanding how a tilted die can affect the texture development in copper tubes is the main aim of this study. The micro-texture results of EBSD examinations showed the same behavior at the maximum and minimum sides of the as-received tube, as observed using the synchrotron diffraction method as well as macro-texture measurements. The cube texture component was found to be the predominant orientation in the as-received tube. However, it almost disappeared after drawing with -5° tilting. By contrast, the Cu texture component increased significantly. Before drawing, the cube component varied strongly across the wall thickness. After drawing, however, there was no noticeable texture gradient across the wall thickness. The analyses showed that tilting is not creating an inhomogeneous texture development over the circumference.","PeriodicalId":8048,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics Reviews","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74322678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The height of the fractures is governed by several in situ conditions, especially stress variation with depth. The common workflow to estimate stress is by building the mechanical earth model (MEM) and calibrating it using the Diagnostic Fracture Injection Test (DFIT). However, DFIT interpretation is a complex task, and depending on the method used, different results may be obtained that will consequently affect the predicted hydraulic fracture height. This work used the tangent and compliance methods for DFIT interpretation, along with isotropic and anisotropic stress profiles, to estimate the HF height growth using numerical modeling in a 3D planar HF simulator. Data from two wells in the Anadarko Basin were used in this study. The predicted height was compared with microseismic data. The results showed that even though the tangent method fits better to the isotropic stress profile, HF did not match with the microseismic data. On the contrary, the anisotropic stress profile showed a good match between the compliance DFIT model and the microseismic events. Based on the discussions presented in this study, the validity of the DFIT interpretation is debatable, and when the formations are anisotropic, the isotropic model fails to correctly estimate the minimum stress profile, which is the main input for the estimation of the fracture height. This is in addition to the fact that some researchers have questioned the use of the tangent method in low-permeability formations.","PeriodicalId":8048,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics Reviews","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136378430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among various origami patterns, a large class of origami exhibits rotational symmetry, which possesses the advantages of elegant geometric shapes, axisymmetric contraction/expansion, and omnidirectional deployability, etc. Due to these merits, origami with rotational symmetry has found widespread applications in various engineering fields such as foldable emergency shelters, deformable wheels, deployable medical stents, and deployable solar panels. To guide the rational design of origami-based deployable structures and functional devices, numerous works in recent years have been devoted to understanding the geometric designs and mechanical behaviors of rotationally symmetric origami. In this review, we classify origami structures with rotational symmetry into three categories according to the dimensional transitions between their deployed and folded states as three-dimensional to three-dimensional, three-dimensional to two-dimensional, and two-dimensional to two-dimensional. Based on these three categories, we systematically review the geometric designs of their origami patterns and the mechanical behaviors during their folding motions. We summarize the existing theories and numerical methods for analyzing and designing these origami structures. Also, potential directions and future challenges of rotationally symmetric origami mechanics and applications are discussed. This review can provide guidelines for origami with rotational symmetry to achieve more functional applications across a wide range of length scales.","PeriodicalId":8048,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics Reviews","volume":"218 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72685349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A fundamental understanding of all damage phenomena acting together on reinforced concrete, RC, structures under service loads is a crucial step toward more sustainable structures. The present work aims to study the creep of RC beams in the cracked state. To achieve this objective, an analytical model was developed based on Bernoulli’s theory and the global equilibrium of the RC beam. A Newton–Raphson algorithm was also proposed to solve the non-linear equilibrium equations related to the non-linearity in the adopted materials models. The proposed model allows predicting the instantaneous and long-term behavior under any loading level up to the steel yielding, and it takes into consideration the effect of creep on the behavior of concrete both in tension and compression. In addition to the evolution of the deflection with time, the model is also able to follow the height of the compression zone as well as the evolution of crack’s height and width under any sustained service load. The comparison between analytical and experimental results found in the literature for long-term loaded beams showed a good agreement.","PeriodicalId":8048,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics Reviews","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135014253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Copper is usually selected for its high thermal conductivity and water for its high heat transfer coefficient, especially in the two-phase regime. However, copper tends to suffer oxidation in the presence of water and thus the heat flux performance is affected. In this research, an experimental investigation was conducted using a cooper bare surface as a heating surface under a constant mass flux of 600 kg·m−2·s−1 of deionized water at a subcooled inlet temperature ΔTsub of 70 K under atmospheric pressure conditions on a closed-loop. To confirm the heat transfer deterioration, the experiment was repeated thirteen times. On the flow boiling region after thirteen experiments, the results show an increase in the wall superheat ΔTsat of approximately 26% and a reduction in the heat flux of approximately 200 kW·m−2. On the other hand, the effect of oxidation on the single phase is almost marginal.","PeriodicalId":8048,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics Reviews","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80200398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, aircraft seats must comply with specific requirements with respect to their structural integrity and potential occupant injuries, which are certified through the conduction of costly, full-scale tests. To reduce certification costs, computer-aided methods such as finite element analysis can simulate and predict the responses of different seat configuration concepts and potentially save time and development costs. This work presents one of the major steps of an aircraft seat development, which is the design and study of preliminary design concepts, whose structural and biomechanical response will determine whether the concept seat model is approved for the next steps of development. More specifically, a three-occupant aircraft seat configuration is studied for crash landing load cases and is subjected to modification iterations from a baseline design to a composite one for its structural performance, its weight reduction and the reduction of forces transmitted to the passengers.","PeriodicalId":8048,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mechanics Reviews","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83257882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mass reduction, linear elastic deformation, and stationary thermal conduction are considered simultaneously with three additional constraints. The specifically developed genotype-phenotype mapping ensures the practical benefit of obtained design propositions and significantly reduces computational effort to generate a dense set of Pareto solutions. The mapping procedure smooths probabilistically generated structures, removes unconnected material, and refines the spatial discretization for the subsequently used finite element solver.
