TL;DR: In this article, the behavior and after effects which had been resulted from the coated reactive fragments impacting the steel targets, the 14.5mm ballistic rifle had been adopted to complete the experiments that the 6mm Q235A steel targets was impacted by the steel fragments and the reactive fragments, composed by metal/ polymer coated with steel, with the same mass and size.
Abstract: For research the behavior and after effects which had been resulted from the coated reactive fragments impacting the steel targets, the 14.5mm ballistic rifle had been adopted to complete the experiments that the 6mm Q235A steel targets was impacted by the steel fragments and the reactive fragments, composed by metal/ polymer coated with steel, with the same mass and size. Afterwards, the v50 ballistic-limited velocity and the law of the damage effects on the after effect-targets had been discovered. The results indicate that the integral strength of the coated reactive fragments was lower than that of the inert steel fragments, which lead to the reductions of the penetration performance. The v50 ballistic-limited velocity, resulted of the coated reactive fragments impacting the 6mm Q235A steel targets, was 709m/s and it was 1.33 times than that of the steel fragments with the same mass and size. The reaming enhanced effects on the after effect-targets could be produced in the condition that the impact velocity of coated reactive fragments should be greater than 900m/s while the residual velocity should be greater than 181m/s, and that it had been strengthened along with the impact velocity increased. The probable reasons of the damage enhanced effects had been analyzed that the coupled damage effects had been resulted from two parts energy. The results will provide important references to the engineering application of reactive fragments for warheads.

TL;DR: In this paper, the numerical simulation of explosive welding of Ti6Al4V-SS304 in the presence of different interlayer materials, i.e., SS304, Ti6al4V, CP-Ti, Cu, Al.
Abstract: Explosive welding is a useful method for joining similar or dissimilar metal alloys that are not easily joined by any other means of welding. Insertion of an interlayer between two-parent plates is beneficial to control the welding parameters and improve the welding quality. In order to investigate the importance of interlayer during the explosive welding process, this paper presents the numerical simulation of explosive welding of Ti6Al4V-SS304 in the presence of different interlayer materials, i.e. SS304, Ti6Al4V, CP-Ti, Cu, Al. To understand the whole welding process with efficient computational time, coupled smoothed particle hydrodynamics -Euler -Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation was opted. Results were analyzed on the basis of different material interlayers. Welding parameters, i.e. pressure, temperature, plastic strain and interface morphology revealed that interlayer improved the welding quality. Furthermore, as an interlayer, the materials with high strength showed high welding strength.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the conventional air-filled tire with a nonpneumatic tire to improve the grip in the Arctic conditions, and the results proved the nonpuneumatic tires have a more concentrated pressure profile with higher pressure values.
Abstract: The harsh climate of the Arctic has always posed significant challenges to car drivers. The severe loss in traction due to snow and icing on the roads has led to an increased risk of collisions. The chapter compares the conventional air-filled tire with a nonpneumatic tire to improve the grip in the Arctic conditions. The grip obtained for tires is determined by the weight of the car and the friction between the tire and the road. The friction coefficient, used to determine friction, is a function of the contact pressure. This chapter discusses research work to obtain a concentrated pressure profile for the airless tire, compared to a conventional tire. A finite element analysis using ANSYS® Workbench is performed on two distinct models. The different pressure profiles of the models are analyzed, and the results proved the nonpneumatic tires have a more concentrated pressure profile with higher-pressure values.

TL;DR: The paper gives a proposal for improving the laser thermography test procedure through data parameterization (curve fitting) for infrared sequences, which allows for reduction of output data size, in particular temporary data storage in RAM.
Abstract: The paper shows the concept of Laser Spot Thermography test rig with real time data processing. Laser Spot Thermography is a promising method for non-destructive testing applications especially, when fully non-contact procedure is required. Unfortunately, the procedure as of now is hard to apply, due to technical difficulties related with data processing. Laser thermography test procedure involves recording of multiple sequences (even hundreds), which have to be processed and evaluated as a whole. The industry requires quick and precise results, which is hard to achieve with the amount of output data from the currently known test procedure. The paper gives a proposal for improving the laser thermography test procedure through data parameterization (curve fitting) for infrared sequences. The data parameterization allows for reduction of output data size, in particular temporary data storage in RAM. The reduction of data size leads to faster real time processing.

Abstract: A finite volume based Eulerian-Lagrangian model has been created within OpenFOAM® in order to predict the behavior of particle clouds as well as particle deposition thicknesses on substrates under the influence of electro-static effects. The model resolves close to electrode effects as well as phenomena within the entire deposition chamber. It considers fluid dynamic effects, particle inertia, gravity, electric- as well as mechanic particle-particle interaction, corona formation, dynamic particle charging mechanisms, and coupling of particle motion to Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) based flow simulations. Resulting deposition pattern predictions were experimentally validated. It is demonstrated qualitatively and quantitatively that the measured deposition thicknesses and patterns vary by; i) applied voltage, ii) airflow rate, pistol-substrate iii) distance and iv) angle. Furthermore, the software has been prepared such that it works on the cloud computing software KaleidoSim®, which enables the simultaneous browser-based running of hundreds of cases for large parameter studies.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical study of natural convection heat transfer inside the inclined wavy solar collectors containing nanofluid in Bechar region is presented. But the authors assume that the vertical walls are adiabatic.
Abstract: The present paper gives a numerical study of natural convection heat transfer inside the inclined wavy solar collectors containing nanofluid in Bechar region. Bechar is located in the southwest of Algeria and belongs to the semi-arid zone. The solar deposit of this city corresponds to an angle of inclination of a=37°.The collector has a wavy absorber and cover. The inclined corrugated walls are maintained at constant temperature but different values. The vertical walls are assumed to be adiabatic. The nanofluid used is Al2O3-water. This problem consists in solving the system of equations containing: mass conservation, Navier Stokes and energy with adapted simplified hypotheses. Transport equations are solved numerically by finite element method. Governing parameters are taken as Rayleigh number (from 105 to 4´106), volume fraction (from 0 to 10%), amplitude of wavy cover (from 0 to 0.2) and wave of number (from 1.5 to 3.5). Results are presented by stream function and overage Nusselt numbers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of different types of surface treatments of natural fibrous materials, chiefly Calotropis procera and Sisal fibers, on the mechanical properties of fiber composites are compared.
Abstract: There have been numerous endeavors to replace synthetic fibers with natural fibers in fiber reinforced composites, due to increasing environmental alertness and diminution of oil assets. The information that natural fibers are existing inexpensively and in plenty, being biodegradable and low density, have driven many scientists throughout the world to reconnoiter their application potential in several industrial segments. Nevertheless, natural fibers also require some confines such as high moisture absorption and subsequent swelling and degradation, poor chemical and fire resistance, high dispersion of mechanical properties, poor interfacial interactions with polymeric matrices. Consequently, there is an enormous concern to modify the surface of natural fibers through many techniques, in order to overcome their intrinsic downsides and to effectively utilize these materials in different applications. The chemical treatment of fiber is intended at improving the adhesion between the fiber surface and the matrix. Modification in fiber surface results with increase in fiber strength. This study compares the result of different types of surface treatments of natural fibrous materials, chiefly Calotropis procera and Sisal fibers, on the mechanical properties of fiber composites. The application of surface treatments on fibrous materials can improve the compatibility with composite materials.

TL;DR: This study provides a helpful approach for an effective utilization and combination of reliability and vulnerability indices to improve the functioning and security, and to take an adequate decision on the system state.
Abstract: The exploitation of the structures (planes, engines …) and of the infrastructures (dams, nuclear thermal power stations ...) with a very high cost of realization and a significant working life must be done with a risk of damages and failures reduced and controlled. This paper proposes a case study for the risk management of a hydraulic structure under random contingencies effects by using reliability and vulnerability measures. The reliability which can be defined as the probability that the system will remain in a non-failure state, and vulnerability which represents the system’s susceptibility to failure have been investigated in this paper. Our study provides a helpful approach for an effective utilization and combination of reliability and vulnerability indices to improve the functioning and security, and to take an adequate decision on the system state.

TL;DR: Specific focus lies on the construction of streamlines, for which the streamfunction approach and the particle tracing technique are applied, and the accuracy of such mixed dimension approaches is examined.
Abstract: Open and closed faults, that are highly permeable or impermeable relative to the porous matrix in which they are embedded, show a strong influence on the fluid flow regime. The modelling of such thin structures may face severe problems, as high demands on storage requirement and execution time. Meshes require extremely fine resolution within the thin object and in its vicinity. The problems are much less severe, if the thin objects are represented in a lower dimension than the model domain. The resulting combined 2D/1D or 3D/2D models constitute a multi-physics approach. For basic benchmark problems we examine the accuracy of such mixed dimension approaches. We compare with the full dimensional model and with analytical solutions. Specific focus lies on the construction of streamlines, for which the streamfunction approach and the particle tracing technique are applied. Finally advantages and disadvantages of the various numerical approaches are summarized.

TL;DR: Predicting the calm water ship resistance using CFD simulations, using the Flow-3D software package, of a roll-on/roll-off passenger (RoPax) ferry was investigated and multiple meshes were used to check the mesh sensitivity.
Abstract: While designing the power requirements of a ship, the most important factor to be considered is the ship resistance, or the sea drag forces acting on the ship. It is important to have an estimate of the ship resistance while designing the propulsion system since the power required to overcome the sea drag forces contribute to ‘losses’ in the propulsion system. There are three main methods to calculate ship resistance: Statistical methods like the Holtrop-Mennen (HM) method, numerical analysis or CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations, and model testing, i.e. scaled model tests in towing tanks. At the start of the design stage, when only basic ship parameters are available, only statistical models like the HM method can be used. Numerical analysis/ CFD simulations and model tests can be performed only when the complete 3D design of the ship is completed. The present paper aims at predicting the calm water ship resistance using CFD simulations, using the Flow-3D software package. A case study of a roll-on/roll-off passenger (RoPax) ferry was investigated. Ship resistance was calculated at various ship speeds. Since the mesh affects the results in any CFD simulation, multiple meshes were used to check the mesh sensitivity. The results from the simulations were compared with the estimate from the HM method. The results from simulations agreed well with the HM method for low ship speeds. The difference in the results was considerably high compared to the HM method for higher ship speeds. The capability of Flow-3D to perform ship resistance analysis was demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of gear surface roughness on oil film thickness and fatigue life analysis based on the thickness of the oil film on the gear tooth surface has been investigated.
Abstract: Increasingly demanding performance standards and operating requirements are driving the growing interest on the influence of gear oil film on reliability under the condition of high speed and heavy load. The fatigue life of gears can be increased by optimizing the oil film thickness on the gear tooth surface. The oil film thickness can reflect the ability of the gear to resist pitting and gluing failure. Many theories and experiments are devoted to the study of the oil film thickness. The improvement of gear manufacturing accuracy also makes the influence of tooth surface roughness on oil film thickness not negligible. In order to compile and categorize key investigations in an expansive field with substantial recent research, this work reviews oil film thickness with focus on numerical calculation methods, influence of gear surface roughness on oil film thickness and fatigue life analysis based on oil film thickness.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that in layered systems different convective flow patterns appear than in the single-layer case, where the number and constellation of convection cells characterize steady flow patterns.
Abstract: Convective motions are a multi-physics phenomenon, in which flow and transport processes interact in a two-way coupling. The density of the fluid depends on the value of transport variable and this back-coupling leads to non-linear behaviour. For the classical constellation of a closed fluid container heated from below convective motions appear, when a critical threshold for the Rayleigh number is exceeded. The heat transfer due to convection is much higher than in the case of pure conduction. Here systems of three layers are examined in detail. Using numerical CFD modelling it is shown that in layered systems different convective flow patterns appear than in the single layer case. The number and constellation of convection cells characterize steady flow patterns. Using a parametric sweep over the relevant parameter range of layer Rayleigh numbers and layer thicknesses we determine diagrams that show the excess heat or mass transfer of the dominant convection patterns, measured by the Nusselt- or Sherwood numbers.

TL;DR: In this article, the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD)-Galerkin projection method is applied to solve the problem of non-isothermal mixing in a T-junction pipe with the inlet velocities treated as parameters.
Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics modeling has been widely applied to study flow and heat transfer problems in nuclear engineering. However, due to the prohibitively high computation cost, fast or real-time solution of nontrivial problems is still a challenging task under context of many-quires. Model order reduction is an efficient way to achieve significant speedup. For the turbulent mixed heat transfer problems, the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD)-Galerkin projection method is introduced and then applied to solve the problem of non-isothermal mixing in a T-junction pipe with the inlet velocities treated as parameters. It is shown that a speedup of two orders of magnitude has been achieved. For new parameters out of the scope of the samples, the reduced order model still can give satisfactory results.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid RBF with no shape parameter is proposed and tested with some scattered data interpolation problems and the results have appeared promising whereas the appearance of the shape parameter remains a difficulty when deploying.
Abstract: A Hybrid RBF has recently been proposed and tested with some scattered data interpolation problems and the results have appeared promising whereas the appearance of the shape parameter remains a difficulty when deploying. This work, therefore, focuses on three objectives; firstly, it is aimed to extend the use of the newly proposed-RBF to application of RBF-collocation method. Secondly, realizing the burden attributed to the lack of information on choosing an optimum shape parameter, the hybrid RBF is then modified where the shape parameter is no longer included. Thirdly, it is to investigate its application/implementation towards solving PDEs particularly those in both linear and non-linear form. It has been found in this work that the new RBF of this HyBrid form with no parameter can well be a good candidate and truly deserves further study with more complex problems.

Abstract: The low-temperature fluid flowing into the LNG unloading pipeline will cause violent heat exchange phenomenon, resulting in damage to the pipeline and affecting normal operation. Therefore, pre-cooling treatment is required in advance. Considering the fluid-solid heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics comprehensively, multi-physics coupling simulation study on the pre-cooling problem of the LNG discharge pipe with a π-shaped elbow is carried out. The analysis from BOG and LNG pre-cooling processes respectively shows that: the fluid with low temperature and high density is mainly concentrated at the bottom of the pipe and outside the bend, the wall temperature has a sudden drop at the bend, and there is a large temperature difference between the gas side and the liquid side wall surface. Mixed convection heat exchange mainly occurs in the tube. There will be a small area of natural convection-dominated heat exchange state in the elbow and the downstream pipe section.

Abstract: Pipeline-induced vibration phenomena caused by waves and currents during the transportation of oil and natural gas pipelines.Multiphysics coupling calculation considering the influence of fluid flow characteristics in ocean tidal flow environment and mechanical properties of pipeline solid structure on vibration characteristics of S-type pipeline. The analysis of the velocity of the fluid domain and the distribution of the stress distribution of the pipeline, combined with the time history and amplitude of the monitoring point and axis of the pipeline, analyzes the flow-induced vibration response characteristics of the S-transport pipeline. The results show that under the cyclic flow of the two-way tidal basin, the velocity field on the deformation side of the pipeline is lower, the stress at the solid support end is higher than that in the riser region, and the time-displacement of the pipeline fluctuates periodically, and the displacement of the pipeline axis increases sharply in the riser pipe section. It exhibits a normal distribution with extreme values at the center of the pipe segment. The maximum single-pass amplitude in the Verticality basin is twice that of the Parallel basin and the maximum amplitude is about 1D.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced the sulfur removal principle and the mathematical model of flue gas flow of the wet spray method, and the flow field of the desulfurization tower before and after optimization was simulated by ABAQUS software and the model test was carried out under the similar condition by using the model whose scale was reduced 10 times.
Abstract: The combustion of fossil fuels will not only produce a lot of carbon dioxide, but also convert sulfur dioxide into sulfur dioxide, which will seriously pollute the atmosphere. Rapid and efficient desulfurization is very important for enterprises that consume a lot of fossil fuels. This paper briefly introduced the sulfur removal principle of and the mathematical model of flue gas flow of the wet spray method. After that, the flow field of the desulfurization tower before and after optimization was simulated by ABAQUS software, and the model test was carried out under the similar condition by using the model whose scale was reduced 10 times. The results showed that the velocity distribution of the spray layer and smoke outlet in the section velocity distribution map obtained by numerical simulation was not even and the velocity distribution after optimization was obviously uniform, while the velocity distribution of the demisting layer before and after optimization was relatively uniform and had little change. The results obtained by the test of the model with the reduced scale were close to the numerical simulation results, and the removal rate of sulfur dioxide was greatly improved after optimization.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-physics coupling study is carried out by considering the fluctuation of the interphase dynamic interface and its flow characteristics as well as the mechanical properties of the solid structure of the pipeline.
Abstract: The multi-physics coupling study is carried out by considering the fluctuation of the interphase dynamic interface and its flow characteristics as well as the mechanical properties of the solid structure of the pipeline. By capturing the dynamic interface between gas and liquid, calculating its flow characteristics, combined with the time-history displacement and amplitude of the characteristic monitoring point and the axis of the pipeline, the FIV response characteristics of the basin in the S-type conveying pipe are analyzed. The results show that the dominant area of single gas phase or single liquid phase is not easy to deform and vibrate. The transition and persistence of the flow pattern in the mixed turbulent flow area and the weak regular fluctuation of the flow field in the pipe stimulate the pipe wall to cause stress reaction, leading to the time-history vibration with great difference in the pipe.

TL;DR: In this paper, two typical arrangements of bowing-out dislocation segments that yield mutually-distinct trends are examined by utilizing the Field Theory of Multiscale Plasticity (FTMP) based duality diagram representation scheme.
Abstract: This study attempts to quantitatively evaluate the apparent reduction in elastic moduli, generally observed in metallic materials during unloading and/or cyclic elasto-plastic deformation, based on Field Theory of Multiscale Plasticity (FTMP). Two typical arrangements of bowing-out dislocation segments that yield mutually-distinct trends are examined by utilizing the FTMP-based duality diagram representation scheme. It is demonstrated that not only the scheme allows us to visualize the associated energy flow but also to correlate the resultant apparent shear modulus reduction rate in a unified manner by the duality coefficient measured on the duality diagrams. The scheme is demonstrated to be effective also for more complex cases accompanied by pinning/unpinning and the following relaxation processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal lattice integrity of the diamonds synthesized by the dynamic loading methods is poor, and the diamonds possess the characteristic of polycrystalline coalescence.
Abstract: The crystal characteristics of the diamond samples that are synthesized by several dynamic loading methods, i.e., explosion and impact, have been characterized by XRD and TEM and compared with the diamonds synthesized by static high-temperature and high-pressure method. The crystal lattice integrity of the diamonds synthesized by the dynamic loading methods is poor, and the diamonds possess the characteristic of polycrystalline coalescence. Similar to the static diamonds, the diamonds synthesized by the methods of plane shock wave and detonation products are also single cubic crystal, while the diamonds synthesized by the methods of axial symmetry shock wave and direct detonation have different proportions of cubic and hexagonal crystal structures. The reasons for the formation of these properties have been studied by analyzing the synthesis process and technical characteristics. The results are helpful for the reasonable application of these diamond products, and also have some significance in deepening the understanding of the synthesis mechanism of different dynamic loading methods.
