In this paper strain ratcheting in cold expanded flat plate of Al‐alloy 2024‐T3 in double shear lap joints was studied both experimentally and numerically. In the experimental part, two types of symmetric strain‐controlled and asymmetric stress‐controlled cyclic tests were performed. Also, the cold expanded double shear lap joints subjected to cyclic stress‐controlled tests. The required parameters for simulating the cyclic plastic behaviour of Al‐alloy 2024‐T3 were obtained on the basis of the experimental responses. In the numerical part, a combination of nonlinear isotropic and nonlinear kinematic hardening model (Chaboche) was implemented in the commercial finite element code of ABAQUS, using the subroutine UMAT written in FORTRAN. The results of simulations give an accurate prediction of ratcheting for all types of loading. The obtained results show that increasing the mean stress increases the strain ratcheting. It is clearly shown that the cold expansion process decreases the magnitude of strain ratcheting remarkably compared with “as drilled” specimens and the decrease is bigger for larger cold expansion sizes. Also, it is shown that the middle plane has the highest amount of ratcheting compared to the pin entrance plane and exit plane of the plate hole. 相似文献
Multivariate probability analysis of hydrological elements using copula functions can significantly improve the modeling of complex phenomena by considering several dependent variables simultaneously. The main objectives of this study were to: (i) develop a stand-alone and event-based rainfall-runoff (RR) model using the common bivariate copula functions (i.e. the BCRR model); (ii) improve the structure of the developed copula-based RR model by using a trivariate version of fully-nested Archimedean copulas (i.e. the FCRR model); and (iii) compare the performance of the developed copula-based RR models in an Iranian watershed. Results showed that both of the developed models had acceptable performance. However, the FCRR model outperformed the BCRR model and provided more reliable estimations, especially for lower joint probabilities. For example, when joint probabilities were increased from 0.5 to 0.8 for the peak discharge (qp) variable, the reliability criteria value increased from 0.0039 to 0.8000 in the FCRR model, but only from 0.0010 to 0.6400 in the BCRR model. This is likely because the FCRR considers more than one rainfall predictor, while the BCRR considers only one.

In the published article cited above, by considering corrections made on the eq. (19) which will be discussed in the next section, Figure 6 should be replaced with a following new Figure 1. Hence, and values of 0.379 and 5.68 mol.dm?3, respectively, on pages 1055, 1061, and 1062 should be changed to their accurate values of 0.426 and 5.29 mol.dm?3, respectively. 相似文献
Emulsion polymerization of the butadiene (Bu) was performed in the presence of disproportionate potassium rosinate (DPR) as anionic emulsifier, potassium hydroxide (KOH), and potassium carbonate (K2CO3) as electrolytes, and three different initiators including potassium persulfate (KPS), 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) or 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) (ACVA, also known as VAZO) at 70 °C. Latexes were prepared with a solid content of about 30 wt%. The particle size and its distribution were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis, while the polymerization conversion was determined gravimetrically at different time intervals. Results on the emulsion polymerization of Bu in the presence of KOH and K2CO3 co-electrolytes showed that adding KOH to the reaction media decreases the polymerization rate. Positive effect of co-electrolytes on the control over polybutadiene latex (PBL) particles size and its distribution was also confirmed, where K2CO3 played roles as electrolyte and pH buffer and KOH served double roles as electrolyte and alkaline supplier of the reaction media. Complete solubility of the AIBN in Bu resulted in higher rate of polymerization in the presence of AIBN in comparison to other initiators, i.e., VAZO or KPS. The results showed that initiator type plays a significant role on the formation of PBL nanoparticles and kinetics of the polymerization. The kinetic studies revealed that emulsion polymerization of Bu follows case 1 (i.e., \(\bar{n}\) ?0.5, where \(\bar{n}\) indicates average number of the propagating chains per particle) of the Smith-Ewart kinetics. 相似文献
We present a phase-field model to simulate intergranular and transgranular crack propagation in ferroelectric polycrystals.
The proposed model couples three phase-fields describing (1) the polycrystalline structure, (2) the location of the cracks,
and (3) the ferroelectric domain microstructure. Different polycrystalline microstructures are obtained from computer simulations
of grain growth. Then, a phase-field model for fracture in ferroelectric single-crystals is extended to polycrystals by incorporating
the differential fracture toughness of the bulk and the grain boundaries, and the different crystal orientations of the grains.
Our simulation results show intergranular crack propagation in fine-grain microstructures, while transgranular crack propagation
is observed in coarse grains. Crack deflection is shown as the main toughening mechanism in the fine-grain structure. Due
to the ferroelectric domain switching mechanism, noticeable fracture toughness enhancement is also obtained for transgranular
crack propagation. These observations agree with experiment. 相似文献
