Повний текст джерелаThe main objective of the thesis is to study the thermal effects in steadily loaded circumferential groove journal bearings (CGJBs), including cavitation phenomena occurring in the divergent zone of such bearings. Experimental research conducted at University of Poitiers – Institut Pprime – France enabled a thorough determination of film pressure and temperature fields for the front land of a CGJB plus its mid-groove section, and several performance parameters. Measurements of film pressure and temperature fields under steady-state regime surpassed existing works, regardless of journal bearing design, through: sheer number of land measurement locations, 180 for pressure and for 144 temperature; high precision state of art instrumentation; broad range of operating conditions, 0.125 … 2 MPa specific bearing pressure and 5.25 … 21 m/s shaft speeds. Transient start-up to steady-statestabilization regimes have been investigated at low loads. Experiments at University "Politehnica" of Bucharest – Romania showed a correlation between the downforce thrust and film rupture for a Rayleigh step pin (RSP), important in evaluating divergent zone cavitation phenomena. Theoretical research consisted in developing simple models for evaluating CGJBs performance in steady-state and transient start-up regimes. Several theoretical models were employed for assessing start-up seizure, catastrophic transient thermoelastic instability and damage risk. The major result is a reliable experimental data collection that: enables development of advanced theoretical models; disprove flat film pressure distributions in divergent zones, and constant pressure and temperature in the bearing supply groov

Повний текст джерелаAdhesive bonding is being strongly considered in space applications CNES as anadvantageous assembly technique for future launchers. Correct design of adhesive joints is of majorconcern. Aerospace adhesives are tough viscoelastic matrices (special epoxy resins) reinforced withnano-, or microparticles. Extended use of adhesive joints in structural applications is limited due to thedifficulties in predicting in-service performance, frequently leading to over-conservative design.Three structural adhesives (Hysol®EA 9321, Hysol®EA 9394 and Hysol®EA 9395) wereselected. After their bulk characterization, statistical studies to highlight effects of different parameterse.g. speed, test piece geometry, degree of polymerization were undertaken.In the second stage, fracture mechanics tests were effected employing: the double cantileverbeam (DCB) configuration (mode I characterisation), the three point bending end-notched flexure(ENF) (mode II) and the mixed-mode bending (MMB) (combined mode I/II loading). Crack growth inbonded joints was investigated in a novel way. To refine standard test protocol, the backface strainmonitoring technique was used. Strain gauges were used to measure the strain on the exposed skin ofthe adherends during crack onset and propagation. This method allows better estimation of the crackfront position as well as fine investigation of the stress distribution along the bondline and in the crackfront vicinity. Digital image correlation (DIC) was also used to compare analytical models, e.g.Timoshenko beam on elastic foundation model with experimental results

Повний текст джерелаReinforced concrete structures may be flexurally strengthened in the tension zone by the addition of a new concrete layer with embedded steel reinforcement. However, the interface between the new and old concrete creates a weak area that may cause failure to occur for loads inferior to the designed. Therefore the success of this technique relies on the interface capacity to transmit stress. Surface treatments and cleanliness are the two main aspects that affect adhesion between different age concretes cast against each other. Nevertheless, the amount of steel reinforcement crossing the interface is a factor that may overcome adhesion and improve shear resistance. In the last years, several studies have been elaborated on this theme. In the present dissertation, an experimental study was conducted in order to evaluate the performance of this strengthening solution, characterize failure modes and shear resistance at the interface. Simply supported beams with a bonded concrete overlay in the tension zone were subjected to a three point bending test, and interfacial failure was forced. Three different solutions for stress transmission across the interface are analyzed. In the first solution, shear transmission relies solely on adherence, whereas the two remaining solutions were developed with the aim of evaluating the contribution of reinforcement crossing the interface. Regarding the strengthening solutions with reinforcement crossing the interface, the difference between the effect of reinforcement concentrated near the borders of the new concrete layer or equally distributed along the interface is studied. During the tests, ultimate load, deflections, steel strains, cracking and rupture modes were analyzed. The obtained values were compared among each other and with the provisions of EC2 and MC2010.

Повний текст джерелаAtt förutse skruvförbands beteende kan kräva tillämpning av diverse metoder. Metoderna används för att kalkylera den dimensionerande lastkapaciteten. I denna avhandling värderas lastkapaciteten i enlighet med den så kallade Komponentmetoden från del 1-8 i Eurokod 3. Denna dimensioneringsmetod fastslår en enhetlig procedur när det gäller modelleringen av stålförband. Varje förbandstyp bryts ner till sina baskomponenter med avseende på belastningstypen. För att beräkna den dimensionerande lastkapaciteten för dragbelastade komponenter används en förenklad substitutionsmodell en så kallad T-knut. Komponentmetoden är något komplicerad att tillämpa för alla former av skruvförband. Därmed är den huvudsakliga ambitionen med arbetet att skapa en kortfattad handbok vars syfte är att täcka de vanligaste typerna av skruvförband som Kadesjös konstruktörer använder sig av. Ämnet som kommer att studeras är relativt omfattande, således bestämdes det att i huvudsak sätta fokus på bärförmågan hos komponenter i dragzonen för HEA-profiler och därav dyka djupare i den ekvivalenta T-knutmetodiken. För att få en helhetsbild av dimensioneringsprocessen samlades allmän information om komponentmetoden genom litteraturstudier. Därefter användes dimensioneringsreglerna, presenterade i koder och standarder, för beräkning av lastkapacitet. Dessa utnyttjades för att generera en lösningsalgoritm för två skilda förband. Beräkningen genomfördes med hjälp av beräkningsprogrammet Mathcad. De erhållna resultaten, från en parametrisk analys för särskilda profiler i varje exempel, sammanfattades i form av tabeller och diagram med hjälp av Microsoft Excel.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis deals the analysis of high voltage power MOSFET behavior under extreme conditions (high supply voltages, high current densities). The design and realisation of high voltage MOSFET for a specific application brought forward a phenomenon limiting the current in the device - the mixed space charge layer - that replaces the conventional parasitic JFET model. The space charge layer is not "free" of charges but "filled" with mobile charges (electrons) forwarding through the structure with a limited saturation speed V sat # lO 7 cm. S'1. The static and dynamic characterization of the MOS high voltage makes it possible to determine the influence of the structure (thickness, intercellular distance, resistivity) on the ZCEM. Digital simulations lead to a consolidation of these experimental results and show the fundamental role of the v zone of drain. We carry out a specific simple component N ̂̂representing the ZCEM observed in MOSFET. The results from the impulse electric characterization are in conformity with simulation and show a similar behavior to the one observed in the MOS. .
Demassieux, Quentin. "Structural changes in the process zone of a cyclic fatigue crack in filled natural rubber." Thesis, Paris 6, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA066074.
Повний текст джерелаFilled natural rubbers are widely used in structural parts such as tires for their outstanding mechanical properties. Their exceptional behavior is often associated to the ability of natural rubber chains to form a crystalline structure under tension. In the case of cyclic fatigue cracking, the dissipation added through crystallization and melting at the crack tip is often seen as the main reinforcing mechanism that reduces fatigue crack growth. This PhD work focused on all the dissipative mechanisms activated by the strain amplification near a crack tip. An extensive use of X-ray scattering was made to investigate sub-micronic changes in structure (strain-induced crystallization, cavitation, filler network). A study was made in uniaxial tension to understand the effects of material composition and test environment on these structure changes. The effect of filler volume fraction, crosslink density, thermal ageing and test temperature were considered. This study was followed by a complete description of several fatigue crack-tips. Digital image correlation was used to map the strain fields at the vicinity of the cracks, while X-ray mapping of the process zone gave information on the local changes in structure. The cyclic fatigue properties of the materials were then discussed through the knowledge acquired both in uniaxial tension and near crack-tips. It showed that the effect of strain induced-crystallization far outweigh the dissipation added

Повний текст джерелаDistribution grids are evolving and facing new challenges, including the massive insertion of distributed energy resources and the modification of consumer uses. These paradigm shifts are creating new constraints that affect the design and operation of electricity grids, as well as the planning and interconnection studies. We are now moving towards more instrumented and intelligent networks called Smart Grids. In the SMAP project in particular, we compare solutions to improve the massive insertion of photovoltaic production in rural low voltage distribution networks.In this context, we develop models and algorithms to integrate different uncertainties over the next 35 years into distribution network planning methods. Four alternative solutions compared to conventional reinforcement solutions are also modeled: two types of local control of PV inverters, the active power limitation of the PV inverters and an MV/LV transformer equipped with an on load tap changer. We define different indicators in order to evaluate the performance of the solutions in terms of costs and efficiency. The developments carried out are validated on two geographical perimeters, which makes it possible to draw first conclusions that will have to be validated on other perimeters. One of the important results of the thesis is in particular the significant gain of the solutions based on local voltage control of the inverter compared to the use of an on load tap changer. The many algorithms have been developed with PowerFactory so that they can be reused and completed by Enedis

Повний текст джерелаThe Taiwan collision is the unique example where to examine ongoing tectonic processes at the subduction/collision transition. The oblique convergence setting allows observations of first continental accretion offshore to the mature stage of collision onshore. I show that the southern Central Range, located at the transition, exhumed petrographic assemblages with peak metamorphism increasing northwards, in a corridor characterized by left-lateral transcurrent deformation. Extension sub-parallel to the belt is also understood as a major ingredient of rock exhumation. Near the suture zone, HP rocks (12-15 kbars and 380-420 °C) associated with isolated serpentinite bodies were emplaced in association with intense ductile strain localization in the strike-slip corridor. Petrographc and geochemical analyses of the Kenting and Lichi ophiolitic mélanges reveal that these mélanges originated from the distal rifted margin and the oceanic crust of the South China Sea. I propose a 3D geodynamic model of the evolution of the Taiwan orogen in which the rifted margin architecture is taken into account and the strike-slip kinematic component of the convergence is the main driver of mountain building

Повний текст джерелаAn innovative solution of steel-concrete composite beam was developed taking into consideration the fire situation and the construction stage. The beam is composed of a U-shaped steel part connected to a reinforced concrete part. In the construction phase, the beam is supporting the slab and constitutes a formwork for the reinforced concrete part. The U-shaped beam withstands the construction loads without any temporary propping system. When casting concrete, the steel beam is filled at the same time as the slab, this allows considerable time-saving on site. In exploitation stage, the beam behaves as a steel-concrete composite beam. The connection between the two materials is made by welded headed studs on the lower part of the U-shaped beam. In fire situations, the composite beam satisfies conventional fire stability durations due to the longitudinal reinforcements inside the concrete downstand part with sufficient covers. A literature review focuses on modern solutions that fulfils the criteria of the thesis is performed in order to develop an innovative solution optimised. In construction stage, the U-shaped steel beam without restraints is prone to lateral torsional buckling instability. In order to characterise the stability of the beam, a full-scale test is carried out at the Laboratory of the University of Luxembourg. The test clearly showed the lateral torsional buckling of the steel beam. The test results are compared to numerical simulations and analytical studies. A parametrical study, covering 200 geometrical configurations of the U-shaped beam, is carried out to validate the use of the curve "b" for the design of the steel beam for lateral torsional buckling according to Eurocodes 3. In the exploitation phase, once the concrete hardens, the beam has a steel-concrete composite behaviour provided by the shear connection between the two materials. For manufacturing reasons, the connection is located in a zone where the concrete is subjected to tension forces induced by the bending of the beam. The concrete in this zone is potentially cracked, thus the efficiency of the connection and therefore the mechanical steel-concrete composite behaviour is investigated. Another test is therefore carried out in the Laboratory of the University of Luxembourg, this time the specimen tested is made of concrete and steel. The failure mode is a shear mechanism of the composite beam at very large displacements. However, the beam specimen exhibited a real steel-concrete composite behaviour with high ductility, the connection is therefore very efficient. The test results are compared to numerical simulations in order to validate the finite element model developed. From numerical results and test results, an analytical method, based on EN 1994-1-1, is proposed to find the bending resistant of this composite beam by taking into account the partial yield of the side plates of the U-shaped steel section. A global analytical design method is proposed for the developed solution based on the Eurocodes with additional considerations and constructional guidelines

Abstract Composite materials have excellent specific stiffness, and specific strength, that can both reinforce the structure effectively and make it lightweight. As the production technology is becoming more and more advanced, composite materials have been widely applied in many industries. Ifmechanical connection is applied during the process of combination, there must be an opening on the structure of multiple materials. But the opening might destroy the continuity of material, decreasing the strength of structure, and the ability of loading. Therefore, by using bonded joint technology, the damage during combination can be avoided, and we can improve stress concentration to let stress distributeuniformly and obtain a more lightweight structure. The bonded joint technology in composite structural, is now a common technology that has replaced mechanical connection. The study is aimed at the Adhesive Bonded interface of Delamination and mechanical behavior when the composite Adhesive Bonded single lap joint supports Tensile load. In the process, it considers the geometric nonlinear behavior that the load caused. With adhesive Bonded interface matching up with Quadratic nominal stress criterion and energy release rate by cohesive zone model, it can model Adhesive Bonded interface Initial delamination, delamination expansion and the condition of corresponding Stress distribution.

Повний текст джерелаHomogeneous test specimens are required for material characterization and model parameter identification. An important kind of loading is uniaxial tension/compression. For this, a standard dumbbell is available for combined tension-compression tests. But even for small compressive strains the standard dumbbell leads to an inhomogeneous stress state in the measuring zone. One aim of this work is the development of a new test specimen, which is suitable for high-precision tension/compression tests. In comparison to the standard dumbbell the homogeneity in the measuring zone is significantly improved. Furthermore, the range of maximal compression is increased substantially. The test specimen itself consists of a slender dumbbell structure. By a special design of the mounting geometry, homogeneous stress and strain fields as well as a high stability can be achieved. For an increasing compression, the test specimen comes into contact with the mounting geometry and the critical length is reduced. By means of dynamic analysis, the mounting geometry was calculated and optimized. This method is a powerful tool for developing new mounting geometries, by taking into account both the stability and the homogeneity characteristic. With the developed specimen-setup (consisting of dumbbell and mounting geometry), the phenomenological characteristics of rubber like Payne effect, Mullins effect, recovery and relaxation behavior can be investigated up to a compressive strain of 70 %. Another aim of this work is the development of a shear specimen, which enables precision shear measurements for large shear values. The design is based on a planar test specimen (rubber mat) in order to enable ageing tests, tests with fibre-reinforced materials and tests with pre-stretching. In contrast to other shear specimens, a material-locking connection by gluing or vulcanizing sould be avoided in consequence of material irritation or shrinkage. For this, a special fixing design was developed, which enables a uniform initiation of shear deformation for different rubber thicknesses. Finally, the new shear specimen enables the investigation of typical rubber properties.
