    Experimental Evaluation of Flexural Behavior of Stress Laminated Timber Decks

    Qingguo Ben1, Congcong Zhang2, Benkai Shi2, Huifeng Yang2,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.10, No.12, pp. 3599-3610, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2022.022344

    Abstract Stress laminated timber (SLT) deck is assembled using timber (lumber or glulam) components placed side by side and stressed together, which has the advantages of easy prefabrication and good cost performance. This work presented an experimental investigation of bending tests performed on SLT slabs. Several parameters, including prestress levels, distance of pre-stressing bars, and the existence of self-tapping screw (STS) reinforcement, were taken into consideration. To reinforce the compressive property of timber perpendicular to the grain, the STSs were placed under the anchor plate of the pre-stressed bars. The experimental results were analyzed and discussed in terms of failure modes,… More > Graphic Abstract

    Forced Vibration of the Non-Homogeneously Pre-Stressed System Consisting of the Hollow Cylinder and Surrounding Medium

    Surkay D. Akbarov1,2,*, Emin T. Bagirov2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.121, No.1, pp. 315-348, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2019.07732

    Abstract The paper deals with the study of the influence of the non-homogeneous pre-stresses in the system consisting of the hollow cylinder and surrounding elastic medium on the frequency response of this system caused by the time-harmonic ring load acting in the interior of the cylinder. The axisymmetric problem is considered and it is assumed that in the initial state, the system is compressed in the radial direction with homogeneously distributed static forces as a result of which, non-homogeneous pre-stresses (or initial stresses) appear in that. It is also assumed that after these pre-stresses appear in the interior of the cylinder,… More >

    ABSTRACT

    An optimal pre-stress die design of cold backward extrusion by RSM method

    C.T. Kwan, C.C. Wang

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.18, No.1, pp. 1-2, 2011, DOI:10.3970/icces.2011.018.001

    Abstract In this paper, a pre-stress die design method for cold backward extrusion with a non simple hollow cylinder die by using response surface method is proposed. The radius of the interface and the absolute interference in the interface of a prestress die are chosen as the design variables. Both the two design variables are set at four levels, and then 16 combinations of design parameters are constituted totally. A finite element based code is utilized to investigate the elastic deformation characteristic under different design parameters, and the response surface method is then employed to synthesize the data sets obtained from… More >

    Flexural Property of String Beam of Pre-Stressed Glulam Based on Influence of Regulation and Control

    Nan Guo1,*, Wenbo Wang1, Hongliang Zuo1

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.13, No.2, pp. 143-179, 2019, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2019.04640

    Abstract Applying pre-stress in glulam beam can reduce its deformation and make full use of the compressive strength of wood. However, when the glulam with low strength and the pre-stressed steel with high strength form combined members, materials of high strength can’t be fully utilized. Therefore, this study puts forward the idea of regulating and controlling string beam of pre-stressed glulam. By regulating and controlling the pre-stress, a part of the load borne by the wood is allocated to the pre-stressed tendon, which is equivalent to completing a redistribution of internal force, thus realizing the repeated utilization of the wood strength… More >

    The Influence of Third Order Elastic Constants on Axisymmetric Wave Propagation Velocity in the Two-Layered Pre-Stressed Hollow Cylinder

    S.D. Akbarov1,2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.32, No.1, pp. 29-60, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2012.032.029

    Abstract By the use of the Murnaghan potential the influence of third order elastic constants on axisymmetric longitudinal wave propagation velocity in a pre-stressed two-layered circular hollow cylinder is investigated. This investigation is carried out within the scope of the piecewise homogeneous body model by utilizing the first version of the small initial deformation theory of the Three-dimensional Linearized Theory of Elastic Waves in Initially Stressed Bodies. Numerical results are obtained and analyzed for the cases where the material of the outer hollow cylinder material is aluminum, but the material of the inner cylinder is steel (Case 1) and tungsten (Case… More >

    Forced and Natural Vibrations of an Orthotropic Pre-Stressed Rectangular Plate with Neighboring Two Cylindrical Cavities

    U. Babuscu Yesil1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.53, No.1, pp. 1-22, 2017, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2017.053.001

    Abstract Forced and natural vibrations of a rectangular pre-stressed orthotropic composite plate containing two neighboring cylindrical cavities whose cross sections are rectangular with rounded-off corners are investigated numerically. It is assumed that all the end surfaces of the rectangular pre-stressed composite plate are simply supported and subjected to a uniformly distributed normal time-harmonic force on the upper face plane. The considered problem is formulated within the Three-Dimensional Linearized Theory of Elastic Waves in Initially Stressed Bodies (TDLTEWISB). The influence of mechanical and geometrical parameters as well as the initial stresses and the effect of cylindrical cavities on the dynamical characteristics of… More >

    M. Negin1, S. D. Akbarov2,3, M. E. Erguven1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.42, No.1, pp. 25-62, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2014.042.025

    Abstract Within the framework of the piecewise homogeneous body model the influence of the shear-spring type imperfect contact conditions on the dispersion relation of the generalized Rayleigh waves in the system consisting of the initially stressed covering layer and initially stressed half plane is investigated. The second version of the small initial deformation theory of the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies is applied and the elasticity relations of the materials of the constituents are described by the Murnaghan potential. The magnitude of the imperfectness of the contact conditions is estimated through the shear-spring type parameter. Consequently,… More >

    Abstract Within the scope of the piecewise homogeneous body model with utilizing of the three dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies the influence of the shear-spring type imperfection of the contact conditions between the layers of the pre-stressed bi-layered plate strip resting on the rigid foundation, on the frequency response of this plate strip is investigated.
