<p>Welded joints is adopted rather than bolted joints for megastructure’s connections because the former can carry large force. However, the former has several problems, such as quality control of welding in situ, which the latter can solve. By contrast, as the load transfer ratio of each bolt becomes uneven proportionally to the number of bolts, local slip around extreme bolts occurs before the whole slip. Extreme bolts to which a large shear force is applied will break before other bolts. For utilizing the strength of all bolts, the problem is solved by improving shear deformation capacity in faying surface with novel surface treatment. Here, the treatment concepts were explored, and the coating’s effectiveness was evaluated through friction tests. The deformation capacity can be twice or more than that of conventional treatment, and the slip coefficient doesn’t depend on contact pressure. These features have the advantage to give stable slip behaviour.</p>

There are several ways to reduce the number of bolts of frictional bolted joints from the viewpoint of the construction cost and the maintenance cost for steel structures. For example, there are the ways which are strengthening the material of bolts, or increasing the slip coefficient. This study is focused on the slip coefficient with metal thermal sprayed contact surfaces. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of different surface conditions on the slip coefficient. Therefore, slip tests were conducted in consideration of 9 patterns of surface treatment method (3 kinds of thickness, 3 kinds of material of sprayed metal).

AbstractCopper-based high strength nanofilamentary wires reinforced by bcc nanofilaments (Nb or Ta) are prepared by severe plastic deformation for the winding of high pulsed magnets. In-situ tensile tests under neutron beam were performed on a Cu/Nb nanocomposite composed of a multiscale Cu matrix embedding 554 Nb filaments with a diameter of 267 nm and spacing of 45 nm. The evolution of elastic strains for individual lattice plane in each phase and peak profiles in the copper matrix versus applied stress evidenced the co-deformation behavior with different elastic-plastic regimes and load sharing: the Cu matrix exhibits size effect in the finest channels while the Nb nanowhiskers remain elastic up to the macroscopic failure, with a strong load transfer from the copper matrix onto zones that are still in the elastic regime. Taking into account results from residual lattice strains also determined by neutron diffraction, the yield stress in the finest Cu channels is in agreement with calculations based on a single dislocation regime.

Fire safety is a major concern with steel structures. Actually, steel structures were not fatally destroyed in most cases of fire. These damaged steel structures may be reused after structural inspection, safety appraisal and necessary repair. Bolted connections are the most widely used connection in steel structures. Slip coefficient is a key parameter to calculate the slip bearing capacity of bolted slip-critical connections. Currently there are few research results available about slip coefficient of bolted slip-critical connections after fire. To obtain the effect of heating and cooling on slip coefficient, a series of slip load tests on connections that had been heated and cooled to ambient temperature were carried out in this study. Methods of friction surface treatment included shot blast and painting inorganic zincs after shot blast. Test results show that heating and cooling have a great effect on slip coefficient of connections with two methods of friction surface treatment, among which effect on connections with shot blasting surfaces is more significant.

The design philosophy of slip-critical connections is to utilize the friction force developed through the clamping force exerted by the pretension of the high-strength bolt. Therefore, the slip-critical connections can have resistance in the direction of the bolt shear. This resistance is affected by the bolt clamping force and slip coefficient on the faying surfaces. This research aims to increase the resistance of the slip-critical connections. Increasing the resistance of the slip-critical connections can be achieved by increasing either the clamping force or the slip coefficient. Thermal spray coating technology was used to increase the slip coefficient. Tests were conducted to investigate the effects of coated material (aluminum or aluminum-magnesium) and coating thickness. Compared to the blast-cleaned faying surface, thermal sprayed coating faying surface results in a greater slip coefficient.

Two kinds of composites (i.e., conductive and strong Cu–Ti3AlC2 composites) were prepared at 850 °C, while high-strength in situ Cu–TiCx composites were prepared by consolidation at 850 °C and then hot pressing at 1000 °C. In both kinds of composites, the reinforcements were uniformly distributed within the Cu matrix. In Cu–Ti3AlC2 composites, strengthening was achieved by the load transfer through a strong interfacial layer consisting of TiCx and Cu(Al), which was formed by the partial deintercalation of Al from Ti3AlC2. For the in situ Cu–TiCx composites, the higher modulus of TiCx as well as the highly twinned structure formed during processing contributed to the enhancement of strength. It was demonstrated that the deintercalation of Al from Ti3AlC2 formed substoichiometric Ti3AlxC2 (with x < 1), and no detrimental effect on the electrical conductivity was observed.

Partially-stabilized ZrO2 (PSZ) ceramics have considerable potential for advanced structural applications because of their high strength and toughness. These properties derive from small tetragonal ZrO2 (t-ZrO2) precipitates in a cubic (c) ZrO2 matrix, which transform martensitically to monoclinic (m) symmetry under applied stresses. The kinetics of the martensitic transformation is believed to be nucleation controlled and the nucleation is always stress induced. In situ observation of the martensitic transformation using transmission electron microscopy provides considerable information about the nucleation and growth aspects of the transformation.
