"Failures of Flexible Diaphragm Couplings of Power Take Off (PTO) Shafts of an Aircraft by Surface Discontinuity, Controlled by Stress Concentration or Stress Intensity Factor." International Journal of Engineering Materials and Manufacture 5, no. 2 (June 25, 2020): 29–39. http://dx.doi.org/10.26776/ijemm.05.02.2020.01.
Full textAbstract:
Failures of two power take off (PTO) shafts of an aircraft have been analysed. Two shafts, one each developed by two different manufacturers failed separately during power run endurance test conducted at room temperature and ambient normal atmosphere. In both the cases, cracks were observed on the outer diaphragm disc. One shaft showed cracking in the engine side, while the other one exhibited cracks in the aircraft mounting accessory gearbox (AMAGB) side. Chemical analysis, microstructure and hardness evaluation indicate that the diaphragm material of the shafts is Ti-6Al-4V alloy used in solution treated and aged condition, as per the desired specification AMS 4928. Microstructural in-homogeneity, possibly a result of improper forging, was observed in diaphragm material of both the shafts. Additionally, surface discontinuities induced by forging and subsequent insufficient machining were noticed on the diaphragms. The diaphragms failed by fatigue with cracks possibly nucleating at surface discontinuities. Discontinuities with lower availability in one shaft led to somewhat increased life (466 million cycles) as compared to the life (104 million cycles) of the other shaft. Another possible factor contributing to lower life in the later shaft is the presence of higher quantity of nitrogen rich inclusions. Controlling factor triggering the failure of diaphragm of shaft with lower life seems to be the available high stress level along the rim periphery, while that for shaft with higher life is presence of few localized sharp surface discontinuities.

In multistoreyed RCC framed buildings, critical damages are due to seismic ground excitations, which cause catastrophic failuresat the weaker locations. Buildings with two types of structural irregularities namely diaphragm discontinuity and open ground story are considered. Assessment of seismic vulnerability of these buildings is done by using Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis (NSPA). Performance Based Seismic Design of masonry infilled RCC buildings with two different shape of openings in the diaphragm is considered here with Design Basis Earthquake(DBE) and Maximum Considered Earthquake(MCE) where by selecting appropriate performance criteria in terms of Inter-story drift ratio(IDR) and Inelastic displacement demand ratio(IDDR) are critically observed. The Equivalent Linearization Procedure of Pushover analysis presented in FEMA 440, which is a modification of Capacity Spectrum Method based on ATC-40 guidelines, is performed in ETABS-2016 to study the performance of R.C.C. buildings with diaphragm discontinuity, designed as per IS-1893-2016.

Abstract: Any Structure that is designed in today’s world has to be designed not only for aesthetics but also for stability. These days high rise multi storied structures are quiet prominent. These types of structures, should not only be designed for aesthetic point of view but also must be designed to resist earthquake forces which are subjected on these structures. These earthquake forces acting on the structures are also known as seismic forces. Due to architectural purposes, some buildings, have openings, provided in them, this creates structural discontinuities in the building. These openings or discontinuities can change the load transfer path of the structures which may cause significant change in the building behavior, under the application of the seismic forces. In this paper pushover analysis is carried out to study the behavior of the building in case of architectural opening for staircase or cut outs etc which results in discontinuity in the structure.

ABSTRACT Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a developmental closure defect resulting in discontinuity of the diaphragm. Abdominal viscera herniate into the chest leading to mediastinal shift and lung compression. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurs in approximately 1 in 4,000 live births. Vast majority of cases is on the left side of the diaphragm. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is also associated with severe pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Approximately 50 to 70% of cases of CDH are isolated, but may also be associated with rare and severe genetic syndromes. It is one of the most severe birth defects with extremely high neonatal mortality and morbidity. Prognosis is worse in cases of an abnormal chromosomal microarray, severe associated anomalies, right-sided defect, liver herniation, and lower fetal lung volume. In some countries, fetoscopic endotracheal occlusion (FETO) for severe CDH is offered to selected group of patients. Since 2014, this procedure is also available in Poland in the 1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Medical University of Warsaw. This article reviews management in diaphragmatic hernia and presents protocol implemented in our center. How to cite this article Wielgos M, Kosinski P.

Because the stress concentration usually appears in the plate corner or discontinuity zone, it is necessary to optimize design for local plate of steel anchor beam bearing huge cable force. Based on 3D elaborate finite-element method, the stress distribution of steel anchor beam of cable-pylon composite anchor structure was analyzed. The results showed that the steel anchor beam of cable-pylon composite anchorage structure was safe and reliable, the application of the vertical stiffened plate of the side plate in anchor box and the middle diaphragm efficiently improved the force state of the steel anchor beam, on the other hand the stress conditions of the concrete pylon was more ideal when the steel anchor beam was within the boundary condition of one end of anchor beam fixed and the other end with sliding support.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Bochdalek hernia (BH) represents the herniation of abdominal visceral components through a discontinuity between the lateral (costal) and posterior (crural) components of the diaphragm. With an incidence directly proportional to age, it is rare in adults, with reported frequencies in the specialized literature ranging from 0.17% to 6% of all diaphragmatic hernias, and it is the most common type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, affecting the left hemidiaphragm in 85% of cases(1,2). The authors describe the case of an 83-year-old patient, a former nurse in a pneumology department, diagnosed with Bochdalek hernia, which mimicked a suspicious neoplastic lung mass. The patient's clinical context and conducted investigations established the benign etiology of the formation, without requiring further surgical intervention. Additionally, we provide a brief review of the medical literature on this topic, radiological approaches, and the importance of differential diagnosis.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Several types of embankment dams are used in the hydraulic engineering practice. However, the choice of a dam is individual for each hydraulic engineering project, as it takes account of specific features and natural conditions. This paper compares two types of rockfill dams (the one having a concrete face and the other having an asphalt-concrete diaphragm) in relation to the Mullalakh HPP on the Pskem River in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The dam height is 85 m. The comparison was performed from the standpoint of the dam performance in case of exposure to static forces and high seismicity.
Materials and methods. The analysis of (1) the stress-strain state (SSS), (2) the stability of slopes exposed to regular and irregular load combinations was conducted for two types of dams. All calculations were performed in the two-dimensional domain. The analysis of the stress-strain state took account of the non-linear behavior of the soil ground and the contact interaction between structural elements. Seismic loads, included into the scope of irregular loads, were identified using the response spectrum method applied to particular periods and self-oscillation modes. Slope stability was analyzed with regard for the stress state of soils identified in the course of SSS calculations.
Results. Each type of embankment dams has its specific features. The asphalt diaphragm dam is worse at perceiving high seismic loads. Its SSS during an earthquake features strength loss and emergence of soil discontinuity zones. The disadvantage of a concrete face dam is the insufficient safety of its anti-seepage element. Supplementary measures are needed to ensure the appropriate stress state of the face. Another finding is that the slopes of both types of dam do not demonstrate a sufficient stability factor, if the slope ratio equals to 1.5 during a 9-point earthquake.
Conclusions. In high seismicity regions, a concrete faced dam demonstrates better performance than the asphalt diaphragm dam if both are exposed to static and seismic forces.

Full textAbstract:
In this research, a compact and broadband microstrip line quarter-wavelength open circuited stub, which is the core of the band-stop filter, is studied from the viewpoint of the characteristic impedance ratio between the main transmission line and the stub line. Furthermore, a circuit pattern in which an inductive diaphragm is inserted at the stub attachment point using a stepped impedance structure is examined, and an evaluation of frequency adjustment and miniaturization is investigated. The results are compared with the well-known radial stub. Good agreement was obtained between the measured and simulated values up to 5 GHz. Good stop bandwidth was obtained, and the validity of the proposed method is confirmed. The application to other frequency bands is straightforward. The proposed structure is applicable as an alternative to the existing radial stub used for bias T to prevent the reverse flow of the Radio frequency (RF) signal to direct current (DC) source. It is also applicable for the waveguide E-plane band-stop filter, for preventing unwanted leakage from narrow gaps by substituting to a short-circuited stub with a capacitive window, by using the same approach used in the microstrip line H-plane discontinuity.

Full textAbstract:
We have observed propagating adiabatic evaporation waves in superheated liquid dodecane, C12H26. Experiments were performed with a rapid decompression apparatus at initial temperatures of 180–300°C. Saturated dodecane in a tube was suddenly depressurized by rupturing a diaphragm. Motion pictures and still photographic images, and pressure and temperature data were obtained during the evaporation event that followed depressurization. Usually, a front or wave of evaporation started at the liquid free surface and propagated into the undisturbed regions of the metastable liquid. The evaporation wave front moved with a steady mean velocity but the front itself was unstable and fluctuating in character. At low superheats, no waves were observed until a threshold superheat was exceeded. At moderate superheats, subsonic downstream states were observed. At higher superheats, the downstream flow was choked, corresponding to a Chapman–Jouguet condition. At the most extreme superheat tested, a vapour content of over 90% was estimated from the measured data, indicating a nearly complete evaporation wave. Our results are interpreted by modelling the evaporation wave as a discontinuity, or jump, between a superheated liquid state and a two-phase liquid–vapour downstream state. Reasonable agreement is found between the model and observations; however, there is a fundamental indeterminacy that prevents the prediction of the observed wave speeds.

Full textAbstract:
Reinforced concrete shear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting structural component in reinforced concrete buildings. Shear walls carry large horizontal forces, as they are designed to resist the lateral forces that are parallel to the walls. Most of the codal provisions have the requirement that the shear wall should be provided continuously from the foundation level to the top level of the structure. But in some cases, due to architecture necessities or economic considerations, shear walls are constructed discontinuously. Vertical discontinuity of the shear wall can cause alteration of performance of the structure, including in-plane shear stress accumulation in the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a structural element that conveys lateral loads to the vertical resisting elements of a structure such as shear walls or frames. The scopes of this study are to analyze the function of the slab as the diaphragm and to compare the shear stresses developed in the slab with the shear strength of the slab when there is vertical discontinuity of shear walls. The finite element analysis programs NISA/DISPLAY IV and STAAD.Pro are utilized for the purpose. The slabs with and without discontinued shear wall are compared to investigate the accumulation of shear stress due to the lateral loads and to determine the requirement of shear reinforcement to resist these stresses. The result from the study shows that the slab where the shear wall is terminated, functions as a horizontal shear wall transferring higher shear forces and the shear reinforcement is required.

Many buildings in the present scenario have irregular configurations both in elevation and plan. This in future may subject to devastating earthquakes. It is necessary to identify the performance of the structures to withstand against disaster for both new and existing buildings. Now a days openings in the floors is common for many reasons like stair cases, lighting architectural etc., these openings in diaphragms cause stresses at discontinues joints with building elements. Discontinuous diaphragms are designed without stress calculations and are thought-about to be adequate ignoring any gap effects. In this thesis an attempt is made to try to know the difference between a building with diaphragm discontinuity and a building without diaphragm discontinuity.

Full textAbstract:
Earthquakes are natural calamity which causes severe damage or collapse of buildings. Now a day’s many structures have irregular configurations both in plan and elevation. Damage due to earthquake are more severe at the point of discontinuity in the structure. Openings in the floors are common for many reasons like staircases, lighting, architectural and etc. these openings develop stresses at discontinuities. Discontinuous diaphragms are designed without stress calculations and are thought-about to be adequate ignoring any gap effects. In multi-storeyed framed building, damages from earthquake generally initiates at locations of structural weaknesses present in the lateral load resisting frames Diaphragms with abrupt discontinuities or variations in stiffness, which includes those having cut-out or open areas greater than 50 percent of the gross enclosed diaphragm area, or changes in effective diaphragm stiffness of more than 50 percent from one storey to the next. In structural engineering, a diaphragm is a structural system used to transfer lateral loads to shear walls or frames primarily through in-plane shear stress. Lateral loads are usually wind and earthquake loads. This paper focuses the general effects of diaphragm discontinuity on seismic response of multi-storeyed building on various structural parameters.
