Static And Dynamic Tests

Abstract Dynamic adhesion and fatigue tests can be conducted on the Firestone Flexometer, where the hysteresis effect of the rubber compound can be brought to bear on the rubber-cord interface. Only minor modifications of equipment need to be made to run this test under a range of different conditions. Although the test is designed for single-station testing, several samples can be run at once, and test conditions can be adjusted to prevent cycle-life from becoming excessive. Rubber-steel cord composites have been studied under dynamic conditions, and indications are that other cord types and dips can also be evaluated with this method. Thus, the study of adhesion can be approached from a different point of view than that which is provided by current static and dynamic tests.

Static And Dynamic Tests

In the present paper results of the tests for fatigue strength and resistance to severe environ-mental conditions performed on several prototypical under sleeper pads (USP) are presented. The work includes results of the static and dynamic tests carried out on samples of three materials, which were used to produce the USP. The fatigue tests were performed up to 500 thousand load cycles and they aimed at determining which of the analysed USP have favourable properties, taking into account their potential application as the elements used for reduction of stresses in the ballast – especially in the ballast layer directly under the sleeper – and reduction of the material and acoustic vibration emitted to the railway track’s surrounding (vibration and noise). In the climatic tests that were aimed at determining the influence of severe environmental conditions on the properties of USP, the samples were attached to concrete blocks and immersed in water for 24 h and then placed in a climatic chamber, where they were subjected to freeze-thaw cycles. The results show that both the fatigue and climatic tests have influence on the damping-related parameters of the USP, what affects the effectiveness of the vibration isolation.

Ring Cracks

A spherical indenter loaded statically or dynamically into contact with the surface of a brittle material produces a well-defined ring crack. This phenomenon, when interpreted by the Hertz theory of elastic contact, provides a convenient test for the strength of the material. If the elastic modulus of the indenter is different from that of the test material, e. g. a steel indenter in contact with a glass surface, frictional forces are brought into play at the interface which modify the Hertz distribution of contact stress. This effect has been examined both theo­retically and experimentally. An indenter which is more rigid than the test surface is shown to lead to an apparent increase in fracture strength of the material, a less rigid indenter has the opposite effect. Static and dynamic tests of plate glass showed a consistent increase in apparent fracture stress of about 50 % using spherical steel indenters compared with glass indenters. This increase agrees well with the influence of friction upon the Hertzian stress calculated theoretically. The average radius of the ring cracks produced by steel indenters was observed to be greater than that produced by glass indenters, an effect of friction also predicted by the theory. Secondary ring cracks of smaller radius have frequently been observed during unloading of a steel indenter. These were not found when a glass indenter was used and an explanation is suggested in terms of the frictional effect which arises from a difference in elasticity between the indenter and the test surface.

Rigid Design

At domestic PWR plants in Japan, one of the major key issues is earthquake-proof safety [1–3]. Recently, a design procedure using energy absorption, not conventional rigid design, was authorized according to revised review guidelines for aseismic design (JEAC4601). Therefore, we focused on the design technique that utilizes energy absorption effects to reduce the seismic responses of the piping system with U-Bolt, by the static and dynamic tests of simplified piping model supported by U-Bolt. The force-displacement characteristics and a fatigue diagram were obtained by the tests.

Good Agreement

The structural behavior of an old six-span reinforced concrete arch bridge, which has been in service for about 40 years, is investigated. Field monitoring (inclusive of test of material property, static and dynamic test of the bridge) was conducted, static and dynamic responses of the bridge are obtained. Based on the primitive bridge, a scaled one-span bridge model was fabricated by organic-glasses. Both the static and dynamic tests were executed on the bridge model in the laboratory. Since the arch rib is the crucial member for the arch bridge, 7 notches were cut on both arch ribs of the bridge model to simulate different damages of the arch rib. Mechanical responses of the bridge with different damages on the arch ribs were achieved. FEM analyses were preformed on the bridge as well. Numerical results show good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract The bonding state of the asphalt layers in a road pavement structure significantly affects its fatigue life. These bondings, therefore, require detailed tests and optimization. In this paper, the analyses of the correlation between the results of laboratory static tests and the results of fatigue tests of asphalt mixture interlayer bondings were performed. The existence of the relationships between selected parameters was confirmed. In the future, the results of these analyses may allow for assessment of interlayer bondings’ fatigue life based on the results of quick and relatively easy static tests.

Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. (DSME), StatoilHydro and DNV established a common project to investigate the reason for the difference between calculated fatigue lives and the in-service experience and to assess the fatigue capacity of stiffener web connections subjected mainly to web frame shear stresses. The main objective of the work was to establish fatigue test data and perform numerical analysis of collar plate connections in order to provide improved confidence in analysis methodology for fatigue life assessment. Large scale fatigue tests of different types of connections were carried out to obtain fatigue test data of collar plate connections. Finite element analyses were carried out for comparison with fatigue test data and with measured stresses on the test model. Based on this work recommendations on fatigue design analysis of connections between stiffeners and web frames have been derived. The background for this is presented in this paper.

Abstract Most articles made from elastic substances are intended for service under dynamic conditions. Static methods of investigation are clearly insufficient for determining the behavior of elastic substances under dynamic conditions and therefore there has for a long time been a need for dynamic tests. In recent years several dynamic tests have been developed, and a number of investigations of elastic properties under dynamic conditions have been published. The works of Frumkin, Roelig, Kosten, Naunton and Waring and other investigators have established a series of relations in the behavior of elastic substances under dynamic conditions. However, the limited intervals of frequency and temperature in these experiments gave relations of peculiar character and even led to contradictions. Thus Naunton and Waring showed that, under dynamic conditions (at high frequencies), automobile tire casings act as solid hoops and, according to Roelig and Kosten, the relation between modulus and frequency, though still existing, is of relatively little importance. The development of a concept of the mechanism of highly elastic deformation, and in particular the disclosure of relaxation made it possible for Kornfel'd and Poznyak and Mikhai˘lov and Kirilina to demonstrate experimentally the existence of a more general law relating the phenomena. However, in their experiments, the frequency in both cases changed within narrow limits, and consequently these investigations too do not give a general picture of the behavior of elastic materials in relation to the frequency of deformation and temperature. The idea of highly elastic deformation, as well as that of relaxation, comes down to the fact that the magnitudes of the deformations observed depend on the relation between the time of action of the force and the time required for regrouping of the particles in the substance during the deformation.
