A new approach for measuring flow stresses near a spinning friction stir welding (FSW) tool is evaluated on AA 6061-T6 plate. The test consists of plunging cylindrical with flat face into the plate at different rotational speeds, using variety constant vertical loads. viscosity-based model shear layer created under employed to estimate local stresses. measured by this exhibited an inverse relat...

Abstract Anisotropies exist in many sedimentary rocks, particularly naturally fractured reservoirs, causing horizontal stress anisotropies. Case studies indicate that when a rock formation contains high dip-angle fractures or factures (e.g. bedding planes), it has very distinguished stresses. In these cases, the conventional isotropic method for estimating stresses may give erroneous results. U...

Abstract Dimensional deviations of stamped car body components caused by elastic springback still represent a significant problem for the development stamping tools. First, causes part in vertical direction to surface due bending stresses. Second, area contracts (and also bends) membrane The precise manifestation contraction depends both on stiffness and – usually heterogeneous distribution Usu...

Fluid injection in deep geological formations usually induces microseismicity. In particular, industrial-scale injection of CO2 may induce a large number of microseismic events. Since CO2 is likely to reach the storage formation at a lower temperature than that corresponding to the geothermal gradient, both overpressure and cooling decrease the effective stresses and may induce microseismicity....

BACKGROUND Although percutaneous posterior-ring tension-band metallic plate and percutaneous iliosacral screws are used to fix unstable posterior pelvic ring fractures, the biomechanical stability and compatibility of both internal fixation techniques for the treatment of Denis I, II and III type vertical sacral fractures remain unclear. METHODS Using CT and MR images of the second generation...

[1] Results of an experimental investigation of the turbulent boundary layer in airflow over evolving young wind-waves are presented. The experiments were conducted in a laboratory wind-wave flume consisting of a closed-loop wind tunnel capable of generating wind speed that may exceed 15 m/s, atop of a 5 m long wave tank. Simultaneous measurements of mean wind velocity and of instantaneous fluc...

The global development of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in an accretion disk is studied within a simplified disk model that omits vertical stratification. Starting with a weak vertical seed field, a saturated state is obtained after a few tens of orbits in which the energy in the predominantly toroidal magnetic field is still subthermal. The efficiency of angular momentum transport, parameteri...

This study aims to gain knowledge on how hydroelastic waves interact with off-shore structures, for example off-shore wind turbines or oil rigs. The linear two-dimensional problem of hydroelastic waves reflected by a vertical wall is analysed. Water is of finite depth and is covered by ice. The fluid is assumed incompressible and inviscid. The ice sheet is assumed thin compared with both the wa...

Stress state analysis to casing-cement sheathformation system (CCSFS) is the foundation of the wellbore integrity design and examination. Many elastic mechanic models have been established to calculate the stresses and displacements of CCFS, but all analytical models and most finite element models took no account of the initial loaded state, and ignored the initial stresses and displacements on...
