On the combined use of scratch tests and CLA profilometry for the characterization of polyester powder coatings: Influence of scratch load and speed

The prediction of the mechanical properties of polyester powder coatings is of paramount importance, as they have to undergo a wide variety of forces and deformations during their service life. Determine the response of polymeric coatings to the actual loading conditions can be, however, very troublesome as their properties are function of the material physical state, rate-dependence and yield and break behaviour. Further, the characterization of soft, contaminated organic surfaces such as polymers can often cause severe problems with reliability and imaging accuracy due to instrumental artefacts.This is therefore the context in which this paper investigates the capability of multiple parameters scratch tests joined with non-contact CLA profilometry and FE-SEM to detect the scratch response of polyester powder coatings for protective and decorative outdoor applications. Scratch tests with blunt contact geometry were used to evaluate the response of polyester coatings baked at different time-temperature programs and, so, at different stages of their curing process. In particular, being such coatings highly non-linear in their response to mechanical stress or strain, the influence from scratch load and speed was carefully taken into account. Analytical evaluations of the experimental results led to good correlations between the extent of the deformed zone after scratch, scratch parameters and curing operational settings. This allows mapping the scratch response of the polyester topcoats to broad ranges of both scratch parameters and curing conditions.     

Response of periodic structures due to moving loadsRéponse de structures périodiques à des charges mobiles

A method is proposed to calculate the response of periodic structures subjected to moving loads. It is based on the Floquet decomposition which allows the restriction of the analysis for the overall system to a generic cell. The main contribution of the approach presented hereafter is that the response is directly deduced from transfer functions in the space-wavenumber domain calculated in an unbounded generic cell. Moreover, the equivalence of this new solution with the response of invariant structures obtained using Fourier transforms is established. To cite this article: H. Chebli et al., C. R.

The Markov Model Based Algorithm to Predict Networking Load on the Computational Grid

The computational Grid is currently gaining in popularity, and it enables computers scattered all over the world to be connected by the Internet as if they are part of a large computational infrastructure. While the computational Grid gathers more and more computational resources and the number of the applications for the computational Grid is increasing, load balancing for the computational Grid is still not effective enough. Because the computers are connected by a wide area network on the computational Grid, the significant communication latency and the frequency of large wave throughputs make it difficult to achieve effective load balancing. Thus, in this paper, we propose an algorithm to predict networking loads on the computational Grid to make the use of computational resources more efficient. The proposed algorithm based on the Markov model is evaluated using an actual networking load. As a result, the Markov model based algorithm offers the most accurate predictions compared with the related work. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

基于实测荷载的铁路钢桁梁桥疲劳可靠性评估

为了对钢桁梁桥疲劳进行评估,引入可靠性理论,提出了基于实测荷载的桥梁疲劳可靠性评估方法。根据某铁路钢桁梁桥实测车辆荷载数据,建立了随机车辆荷载模型。并在考虑车辆荷载随机性的基础上,结合Monte-Carlo法与有限元,分析了钢桁梁桥构件疲劳应力谱,计算了构件疲劳可靠性随时间的变化,并探讨了车辆荷载及荷载效应变异性对构件疲劳可靠性的影响,最后采用β约界法与静力分析法对钢桁梁桥系统疲劳可靠性进行了研究。结果表明,基于随机车辆荷载的构件疲劳应力谱呈现单峰分布;构件疲劳可靠性随运营时间的增加而减小;车辆荷载的增长及荷载效应变异性的增加对构件疲劳可靠性影响较大,当车辆荷载增长率和等效应力变异系数分别增加到5%时,构件疲劳寿命大幅减小;β约界法结合静力分析法可快速确定钢桁梁桥失效模式,桥梁系统疲劳寿命小于构件疲劳寿命。总的来看,基于实测荷载的钢桁梁桥疲劳可靠性评估方法能有效地利用监测数据,对桥梁疲劳评估具有良好的适用性。     

弹性抗滑桩锚固段内力计算的反力荷载法

传统的抗滑桩锚固段内力计算是将锚固段视为Winkler弹性地基梁,以幂级数解法为基础,采用地基系数“m”法或“K”法,通过查表得到桩身内力,计算过程较为繁琐,且受表中各系数的截断误差的影响,常使内力计算结果存在一些偏差。以地基系数“m(K)”法的有限差分法是一种较为理想的方法,但需通过迭代计算,且分段数较多。本文基于地基系数“m(K)”法推导了抗滑桩锚固段内力计算的反力荷载法计算公式,提出了计算精度控制方法;较之于有限差分法,本文方法无需迭代计算,具有分段数少的特点;编写了全桩内力计算和图形处理程序;计算实例表明,与传统方法相比,可有效提高抗滑桩内力分析效率和计算精度,有利于抗滑桩结构的优化设计。
