Probing the buckling of pressurized spherical shells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi

The prediction of the critical buckling conditions of shell structures is plagued by imperfection sensitivity. Non-destructive testing through point-load probing has been recently proposed to map the stability landscape of cylindrical shells. However, the ...

Preliminary Study on the Influence of an Air-Bubble Screen on Local Scour around a Bridge Pier

Anton Schleiss, Violaine Dugué, Sylvain Rigaud, Elham Izadinia

Flow interactions with a bridge pier and movable river bed result in local scour which can endanger bridge pier foundations. This scour is initiated by the downward flow and amplified by the so-called horseshoe vortex. A new method to reduce scouring aroun ...

Direct measurement of drainage curves in infiltration of SiC particle preforms: influence of interfacial reactivity

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maryam Bahraini Hasani

We present dynamic measurement of drainage curves in two systems having relevance to metal matrix composite processing, namely SiC/Al and SiC/Al-12.2at%Si. Data show that liquid/solid chemical reactions that cause a lowering of the contact angle do indeed ...
