The mechanics of cohesive or cemented granular materials is complex, combining the heterogeneous responses media, like force chains, with clearly defined material properties. Here, we use a discrete element model (DEM) simulation, consisting an assemblage elastic particles connected by softer but breakable bonds, to explore how this class deforms and fails under uniaxial compression. We are particularly interested in connection between microscopic interactions among grains macroscopic...
Chemical gardens formed from two metal salts (MCl 2 or MSO 4 ) have been investigated to understand the effects of mixing on growth precipitate tubes.
The pressure distribution on a NACA0012 airfoil was measured in order to clarify the flow field around low-Reynolds-number region from 10,000 50,000. In present study, wind tunnel and wing model with 70 static ports were used for measurements. surface by micro-pressure sensor. Based obtained distributions, we confirmed detail behavior of separation bubble observed change short into long bubble. As angle attack increased, non-linearity aerodynamic characteristics affected both changes point...
The rheology of cohesive granular materials, under a constant pressure condition, is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. Depending on the shear rate, pressure, and interparticle cohesiveness, system exhibits four distinctive phases: uniform shear, oscillation, shear-banding, clustering. friction coefficient found to increase with inertial number, irrespective cohesiveness. becomes larger for strong cohesion. This trend explained by anisotropies coordination number angular...
For a cohesive granular material we measure the mechanical responses of single bridges under traction and shear, show how to upscale these predict macroscopic properties using an experimentally-informed discrete-element model.
Mechanical anchorage has recently been used for simplifying the arrangement of reinforcement in beam-column joint. In AIJ Standard Structural Calculation Reinforced Concrete Structures (published 2010), there are examples application mechanical foundation beams, and also mentioned that exterior joint with pile should be regarded as equivalent to T-shaped Yield hinge is generally set not at ends beams but column bases obtain a global yield mechanism. considering use beam, it possible...
