The motivation of this work derives from the need of the cutting tool industry to improve its products in order to support harder and harder working conditions, namely increasing cutting speeds and working on stronger modern materials. The lifetime of the ...
Novel applications in unstructured and non-stationary human environments require robots that learn from experience and adapt autonomously to changing conditions. Predictive models therefore not only need to be accurate, but should also be updated increment ...
Tubular bridge design has to deal with fatigue issues. The fatigue susceptibility of these bridges, composed of circular hollow section profiles welded together in K-joints, is mainly due to stress concentrations, to welding imperfections and to tensile re ...
Steel tubular truss are lightweight, aesthetical and used in many different applications. These structures are sensitive to fatigue and specific verification methods have been developed for them, in particular by CIDECT [2001]. Due to assembly and welding, ...
The weld-induced residual stresses in a tubular planar K-shaped connection made of construction steel grades S355J2H and S690QH are evaluated using three-dimensional finite element models in thermo-mechanical simulation of welding process. Both lumped sing ...
Seeking light and transparent bridge designs, engineers and architects have found an efficient and artistic way to fulfill their requirements: steel tubular bridges. Like any other welded structure, the joints of this kind of bridge suffer from high tensil ...
Fatigue crack growth observed in tubular K-joint specimens, typical of tubular bridge structures, always initiates at the chord crown toe locations whether the applied stress range is tensile or compressive. Even though other locations around the weld have ...
Microcellular Al-4.5 wt pct Cu of 400- or 75-mu m average pore diameter is solidified at cooling rates ranging from -30 K/min to -0.45 K/min (-30 A degrees C/min to -0.45 A degrees C/min). In the 400-mu m pore size samples, the dendritic character is lost, ...
The semicontinuous direct chill (DC) casting of large cross-section rolling sheet ingots of high strength aluminium alloys (2xxx and 7xxx series) gives birth to high residual (internal) stresses generated by a non-uniform cooling. These stresses must be re ...
The purpose of this thesis is to characterize internal strains in polymeric materials due to consolidation. In view of this, optical Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are an excellent non-destructive tool for internal strain characterization and damage detection ...
