Moment-resisting frames have extensive usage in earthquake-prone areas and high ability in energy dissipation.After the earthquake in Northridge 1994,Kobe 1995 fixed connections of steel structures have shown poor performance and generally they were caught brittle fracture of beam flange weld to the column.In order to remedy to avoid similar situations in future earthquakes,researchers introduc...

Often unbraced, the stability of steel storage racks may depend solely on the pallet beam to upright connector and on the stiffness of the base plate to floor connection ([1]). This paper presents experimental results from cyclic tests performed on portal beam to upright bolted moment connections intended for cold-formed steel drive-in and drive-through storage racks. In storage racks, portal b...

High contrast and resolution in phased array ultrasonic images are of importance for accurate evaluation. The spread of the ultrasonic beam is one cause of the images being unsharp. One technique for reducing the influence of the beam spread, and thereby improving the image quality, is by deconvolving the data with the point spread function of the ultrasonic beam. By assuming that the material ...

A 14.5 GHz ECRIS has been designed and fabricated at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) to produce multi-charged ion beam (especially for C ion beam) for medical application. The magnet system has cupper conductor solenoid coils and a permanent magnet hexapole. A welded tube with aluminium and stainless steel is used for an ECR plasma chamber to improve the production of secondary e...

this paper presents a finite element analysis and its related experimental test of corrugated steel web beams subjected to fatigue loading. a particular focus in this study was set on the fatigue failure arising from the web-to-flange welded joint of the corrugated steel web beam. a detailed three-dimensional finite element model which explicitly includes the geometry of the web-to-flange welds...

background: the presence of a wedge filter in the beam trajectory can modify the beam quality and cause some changes in the dosimetry parameters which are usually difficult to be measured directly and accurately. material and methods: in this study the mcnp-4c monte carlo code was used to simulate the 9 mv photon beam generated by a linear accelerator. upon getting a good agreement between the ...

Three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) is a very powerful tool which can investigate atomic positions of all alloying elements in steel with lattice-spacing spatial resolution. However, the very small analysis volume of 3DAP has limited its application field. To meet the needs for atomic-scale analyses of steel materials, advanced preparation techniques of a needle specimen tip including a site-sp...

The x-ray radiation shielding requirements beyond the first optics enclosure have been considered for the beam transport of the 2-ID-B and 2-ID-C branch lines of Sector 2 (SRI-CAT) of the APS. The first three optical components (mirrors) of the 2-ID-B branch are contained within the shielded first optics enclosure. Calculations indicate that scattering of the primary synchrotron beam by beamlin...

Combining the transformation project of certain strip steel rolling production line, the techniques process of walking beam heating furnace was elaborated in this paper. The practical application of LOS-T18-2ZC1 laser detector was elaborated. The network communication model of walking beam heating furnace control system was designed. The realization method of production process automation contr...

The walking beam furnace is one of the most prominent process plants often met in an alloy steel production factory and characterised by high non-linearity, strong coupling, time delay, large time-constant and time variation in its parameter set and structure. From another viewpoint, the walking beam furnace is a distributed-parameter process in which the distribution of temperature is not unif...
