Hydro-technical works differ from the other engineering constructions due to fact that they are subject water influence. In nature, exerts mechanical, physical, chemical and biological actions. Water’s mechanical action is expressed by hydrostatic pressure dynamic pressure. Hydrostatic represents main stress, which generally determines form size of hydro- technical construction. As a rule, exer...

Synopsis The hydration behavior of Portland cement and C 3 S with and without stress applied were studied at water to solid (w/s) ratios of 0.35 and 0.50. A greater degree of hydration and denser microstructure were obtained with hydration under stress at an early stage of the hydration process, normally within 48 hours. This observation was confirmed by the determination and comparison of CH c...

there are various parameters that affect stability and expansion of failure zones in under pressure tunnels. among the important parameters that affect failure zones around the tunnels are cohesion and internal friction angle of the rock mass. in addition, the cross sectional shape is the considerable point in failure distribution around the tunnels. the stress analysis method is one of the app...

optimization of drilling fluid parameters such as mud weight, salt concentration, and temperature is essential to alleviate instability problems during drilling through shale sections. the selection of suitable mud parameters can benefit from analyses that consider significant instability processes involved in shale-drilling–fluid interactions. this paper describes the development of analytical...

Most Thermococcales accumulate di-myo-inositol-phosphate (DIP) as an organic solute as a response to heat stress. We have studied the accumulation of this osmolyte in the high-hydrostatic pressure adapted hyperthermophile Thermococcus barophilus. We found no accumulation of DIP under any of the stress conditions tested, although this archaeon harbors the 3 DIP synthesis genes. Lack of synthesis...

We employ classical molecular dynamics to calculate elastic properties and to model the nucleation and propagation of deformation twins in calcite, both as a pure crystal and with magnesium and aspartate inclusions. The twinning is induced by applying uniaxial strain to the crystal and relaxing all stress components except the uniaxial component. A detailed analysis of the atomistic processes r...

where T is the stress tensor, p the hydrostatic pressure, S the extra-stress tensor, A the first RivlinEricksen tensor and μ the dynamic viscosity. Many common fluids show this “Newtonian” behavior and in fact the whole discipline of classical fluid mechanics is based upon this equation. However, the constitutive equation (1) does not show any of the normal stress effects or relaxation phenomen...

The multipad circular guide hydrostatic bearing of heavy-duty CNC machine is taken as the research object. Based on the lubrication properties of the heavy hydrostatic bearing, viscosity-temperature equation of interstitial fluid is established in various viscosities. In accordance with factory actual production, the fluid critical from laminar to turbulent is calculated by finite volume method...
