The base of large steel liquid storage tanks can uplift during severe earthquakes, causing large inelastic rotations at the connection between the tank shell and tank base. While recent experimental studies indicate significantly higher connection rotation ...

It is well known that metals and alloys erode at lower impact threshold velocities than expected. This was studied by Thomas and Brunton (1970) who reported “discrepancy factors” in the range 4–10. These authors suggested that liquid impact was a more sear ...

Unanchored steel tanks subjected to strong ground motion may experience rocking motion if the moment generated by the inertial mass of the content stored is greater than the resisting moment provided by the weight of the tank and its content. Rocking of th ...

The presented work concerns the modelling and stability analysis of 155 mm spin-stabilised projectiles equipped with steering fins. While a large roll rate provides the projectile with interesting stability properties, it also renders the steering control ...

Rock damage control in bedrock blasting excavation for a nuclear power plant

Jian Zhao

Drill and blast is a major method for bed rock excavation in nuclear power plant engineering. Under blasting excavation, blast-induced vibration propagates in rock mass and induces damage to surrounding rock. Studying the characteristics of wave propagatio ...

The scale locality of energy fluxes for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is investigated numerically for stationary states of turbulence. Two types of forces are used to drive turbulence, a kinetic force that acts only on the velocity field and a kinetic-inducti ...

Numerical-experimental identification of the elastic and damping properties in composite plates

Thomas Gmür, Alain Schorderet, Marco Matter, Joël Cugnoni

A novel method is presented for estimating the elastic and dissipative parameters of composite plates and shells through a mixed numerical-experimental identification procedure based on the natural frequencies, modal damping factors and mode shapes of the ...

One possibility for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is catalytic oxidation. For the removal of VOCs in low concentration (≲ 3000 ppmv for propane) it is not possible to sustain the required oxidation temperature over the catalyst wit ...

Analysis of the brittle fragmentation of an expanding ring

Jean-François Molinari

The current research extends our previous work on brittle fragmentation of a one-dimensional bar [F. Zhou, J.-F. Molinari, K.T. Ramesh, A cohesive-model based fragmentation analysis: effects of strain rate and initial defects distribution, International Jo ...
