Photoelastic analysis of stresses around oblique holes

A three-dimensional photoelastic analysis was conducted to determine the magnitude and distribution of stresses around oblique holes in a uniaxially loaded plate. The holes were circular and inclined at angles of 45 deg and 60 deg with the faces of the plate. The plate-thickness-to-hole-diameter ratiot/D was 2.40. One end of each hole was blended to the face of the plate through a break radius equal to the radius of the hole. The plate dimensions were sufficiently large to simulate conditions of an infinite plate. The plates were loaded perpendicular to the plane of skewness. Stress distributions were obtained on sections perpendicular to the direction of loading. Results point to two critical areas of stress concentration: one at the acute-angle intersection of the hole and the surface of the plate and the other in the break-radius area. The stress concentrations in the latter area reach values of 4.6 and 6.7 compared to 3.6 and 4.5 at the acute-angle intersection, for the inclination angles of 45 deg and 60 deg, respectively. A simplified analysis used for the break-radius area gave results in agreement with the experiment. Thus, it was shown that break radii in oblique penetrations may have deleterious rather than beneficial effects. Comparison of results for the acute-angle intersection with existing theoretical and experimental values shows a definite and pronounced dependence of the stress-concentration factor on thickness-to-diameter ratio.     

Stress-concentration factors at intersecting and closely approaching orthogonal coplanar holes

Using two models, each containing three groups of intersecting or closely approaching holes, 18 different cases were investigated by three-dinensional frozen-stress photoelasticity. In all cases, the coplanar holes were orthogonal to the applied uniaxial tension. Included were three cases of intersecting hoes with square corners and varying hole-diameter ratios. Five cases of intersecting holes with rounded corners were studied for two hole-diameter ratios and varying corner radius. Stresses were determined for two cases where the end of one drilled hole partially penetrated another hole leaving acute corners or feathered edges at the intersection. Three types of closely approaching holes were studied: two cases in which the end of one drilled hole nearly intersected the side of an-other hole, two cases in which the ends of two drilled holes approached each other along a common axis, and four cases (called corner-approach cases) in which the ends of two drilled holes approached each other along orthogonal axes. A stress-concentration factor of 13 was found for one of the partially penetrating drilled-hole cases. The upper limit on stress-concentration factor for a very small hole intersecting a large hole in an infinite body subjected to uniaxial stress is 8.4 for metals. This factor is reduced to 5.2 as the diameters of the intersecting holes become equal. Rounding the corners on intersecting holes reduced the stress concentration by only four to seven percent. Closely approaching drilled holes results in higher stresses than fully intersecting holes when the minimum ligament width is less than ten percent of the hole diameter. Corner approach cases do not result in high stress-concentration factors as long as the ligament width is greater than the percent of the hole diameter.

A theory for swaging of discs and lugs

A practical theory for swaging bored holes within plates and cylinders is proposed which can take into account work-hardening in the presence of small plastic strains based upon equivalent stress-strain data. With the appropriate choice of yield function, this theory applies to the swaging of both thin and thick plates under respective plane stress and plane strain conditions. The theory can be adapted further to the autofrettage of open and closed-ended, thick-walled cylinders where similar plane deformations conditions apply. Here swaging refers to the practice in which an oversized plug or sphere is forced into the bore thereby expanding it permanently to leave a residual circumferential compression in the bore material upon removal of the expanding tool. A similar effect results from applying an initial over-pressure to a long thick-walled cylinder in an autofrettage process. Both treatments are employed to enhance the fatigue resistance when the service loading upon the disc or cylinder amounts to a cyclic, circumferential tension within its bore. Strain gauges bonded to the entry face of the plate are used to monitor the circumferential and radial strain distributions both during and after the swaging process. Experimental results presented for swaging of thin and thin annular discs in aluminium alloy show that the measured residual strain distributions concord with the theory for large discs with a 10/1 diameter ratio. The agreement is less satisfactory with the loss in axial symmetry for parallel-sided lugs with a width to hole diameter ratio of 4/1.     

WEIGHT FUNCTION FOR STRESS INTENSITY FACTORS IN ROTATING THICK-WALLED CYLINDER

不同拉压特性的厚壁圆筒极限内压统一解

厚壁圆筒在实际工程领域中应用广泛,若能精确计算出极限内压,对预防事故发生,降低风险有重要意义.工程中存在许多材料,其拉压强度和拉压模量均存在差异,这些差异对极限内压的大小有显著影响.以往研究表明,仅考虑拉压强度与拉压模量的一个方面,计算结果与实际情况存在一定的误差.本文基于双剪统一强度理论,综合考虑中间主应力效应及材料拉压强度和拉压模量的不同,推导了内压作用下厚壁圆筒的弹、塑性状态的应力分布及弹性极限内压、塑性极限内压与安定极限内压的统一解,通过与其他文献对比分析验证了本文计算结果的正确性,分析了半径比、统一强度理论参数、拉压强度比与拉压模量系数对弹性极限内压、塑性极限内压及安定极限内压的影响.结果表明:统一解均随半径比和统一强度理论参数的增大而增大,随拉压强度比的增大而减小,弹性极限内压随材料拉压模量系数的增大而减小,当壁厚增加到一定值后,安定极限内压随材料拉压模量系数的增大而减小;材料的拉压模量不同、拉压强度差异对厚壁圆筒的安定性影响显著,考虑中间主应力效应可使材料的潜能得到更充分发挥,极限内压随半径比的变化规律可为选择合理壁厚提供参考,该结论可为厚壁圆筒的工程应用提供理论依据.     

A comparison of results of axial-tension,rotating-beam and pressurized-cylinder fatigue tests

In a previous paper by Davidson, Eisenstadt and Reiner, it was noted that, as the diameter ratio of an open-end, thick-walled cylinder approached unity, the stress state due to internal pressure approaches that of uniaxial tension. It was, therefore, proposed that the fatigue life of a cyclically pressurized thick-walled cylinder might be predicted from the results of axialtension fatigue tests. In this paper, the results of the thick-walled-cylinder fatigue tests, reported in Ref. 2, extrapolated to a diameter ratio of unity, are compared with the results of axial-tension fatigue tests on the same material. The effect of oil in contact with the surface of the axial fatigue specimens and that of varying the cyclic speed from 1800 cpm to 200 cpm are investigated. Rotating beam fatigue test results for the same material are also reported. The results of the axial-tension fatigue tests do not agree with the extrapolated thick-walled cylinder results in the range of fatigue lives from 10⁴ to 10⁶ cycles with the cylinder results showing the shorter lives. For less than 10⁴ cycles, the results converge. No effect of cyclic speed or of oil in contact with the surface was found. The results of the rotating-beam tests generally lie between the axial-tension and extrapolated cylinder results.     

Temperature separation and friction losses in vortex tube

The process of energy separation and friction losses in a vortex tube is studied in detail. The hot and cold exit air temperatures were measured. Experiments have been conducted at inlet pressure of 3.5, 5, 7.5 and 9 bar, at inlet temperature of 292.15 and 298.15 K and at cold air mass ratio from 0 to1. The results demonstrate that the hot air temperature reaches its maximum value at a cold air mass ratio of nearly 0.82, while the minimum value of cold air temperature is found at a cold air mass ratio of 0.3. Based on energy and mass balances as well as on the definition of internal energy and on experimental results a new model for the determination of hot and cold exit gas temperature has been developed. The model includes the relevant primary parameters and predicts the experimental results as well as the data published in the literature sufficiently accurate for engineering purposes.A cross-section area m³ - D diameter of the pipe m - F model parameter - f friction factor - L length of the tube m - m mass flow rate kg/s - y cold air mass ratio - P static pressure Pa - T temperature K - t thickness of the orifice m - R gas constant J/kg K - v velocity of fluid m/s - density of the fluid kg/m³ - friction factor for pipe - friction factor for orifice and tee junction - 1 inlet of compressed gas - 2 exit of hot gas - 3 exit of cold gas - atm atmospheric pressure - c cold exit gas - f friction - h hot exit gas - o orifice plate - T tee junction     

Maximum stress in a tensile strip with a large hole

Measurements were made to decide between two solutions of the title problem. In question was the limiting value of the stress-concentration factor at the edge of a large hole in a tensile strip as the hole diameter approached the strip width. The results indicate that the stress-concentration factor is near two and support one of the solutions with a minor qualification.     

Inelastic behavior of thick-walled cylinders subjected to nonproportionate loading

Inelastic behavior of thick-walled cylinders subjected to nonproportionate loading was studied by the testing of specimens made of C1045 steel and of annealed copper. Several theories were reviewed. A closed-form solution proposed by Mendelson¹² was used to predict external strains for open-end and closed-end thick-walled cylinders. An incremental theory proposed by Chu¹³ was used to provide incremental solutions for open-end thick-walled cylinders, and for cylinders subjected to nonproportionate loading. Test data for open-end and closed-end thick-walled cylinders made of C1045 steel and of annealed copper were in excellent agreement with the incremental theory. Larger values were predicted by use of the closed-form solution for circumferential strains than actual test data for open-end thick-walled cylinders at large depth of yielding. For cylinders subjected to nonproportionate loading, excellent agreement was indicated between the incremental theory and the experiments for the plot of axial load vs. circumferential strain for specimens made of both metals. Agreement between the incremental theory prediction of axial strains for the specimens made of annealed copper and test data is quite satisfactory. Larger values were predicted by the incremental theory for axial strain than experimental data for specimens made of C1045 steel. The error was conservative.

A Study on Hydraulic Autofrettage of Thick-Walled Cylinders Incorporating Bauschinger Effect

Pressure vessels which are subjected to cyclic external or internal high pressure are used in many fields of industry and need to be sure of reliability and safety. To ensure of reliability and safety, thick-walled cylinder, such as a cannon or nuclear reactor, is autofrettaged to induce advantageous residual stresses. The compressive residual stress which was introduced by autofrettage process acts to offset the tensile residual stress induced by internal pressure. It increases operating pressure and restrains crack initiation and crack propagation. As the autofrettage level increases, the magnitude of compressive residual stress at the bore also increases. However, the Bauschinger effect reduces the compressive residual stresses with prior tensile plastic strain, and decreases the beneficial autofrettage effect. There are some differences between theoretical solution considering elastic-perfectly material behavior and real autofrettage process results. The purpose of the present paper is to predict the accurate residual stress of SNCM 8 high strength steel using the Kendall model which was adopted by ASME Code. The tensile and uniaxial Bauschinger effect tests of SNCM 8 were performed to evaluate Bauschinger effect factor(BEF), thereafter this constant was used in calculating the residual stress. The residual stress distribution which is considering the Bauschinger effect was profiled using Kendall model, and the results were compared with the analytical and Finite Element analysis. The results were found that residual stress incorporating the Bauschinger effect at bore was smaller than ideal calculation. These results should be considered in designing pressure vessels.     

Stresses in turbine-blade tenons subjected to bending

The photoelastic method was used to model large steam turbine tenon-shroud attachments under bending loads. Six models were used to investigate three basic tenon geometries: (a) single round tenon—here two different fillet radius-to-tenon diameter ratios were examined; (b) long narrow tenon—for this geometry the influence of shroud-seating clearance and shroud stiffness was investigated; (c) two separated round tenons. Stress-concentration factors for the tenon fillets were determined based on the nominal bending stress in the tenon using the moment of inertia of the tenon cross section. For the single round tenon, stress-concentration factors of 1.3 and 1.6 were found for fillet radius-to-tenon diameter ratios of 0.41 and 0.19. These compared very well with those values obtained by treating the geometry as a stepped round bar with a shoulder fillet subjected to bending. The long-narrow-tenon geometry showed a higher stress-concentration factor than the two separated round tenons—6.1 compared to 2.9. Increasing the shroud stiffness reduced the stress-concentration factor for the long-narrow-tenon design.     

Two-phase flow in a horizontal equal-sided impacting tee junction

Pressure-drop and phase-distribution data were generated for air–water flows in a horizontal impacting tee junction. All three sides of the junction (37.8-mm i.d.) were oriented horizontally. The data correspond to a junction pressure of 1.5 bar (abs), ambient temperature, inlet flow regimes of wavy, stratified, and annular, and a wide range of mass splits at the junction. Most of the range for the phase-distribution data corresponds to conditions that were untested in previous investigations. In general, it was found that the phases did not distribute themselves evenly between the two outlets unless the mass split is equal. There is a serious lack of data in the literature on the two-phase pressure drop in impacting tee junctions and therefore, the present data add substantially to the existing data. A mechanistic model capable of predicting the phase distribution and pressure drop was developed and shown to be in general good agreement with the present data and others from the literature.     

Limit analysis of viscoplastic thick-walled cylinder and spherical shell under internal pressure using a strain gradient plasticity theory

Plastic limit load of viscoplastic thick-walled cylinder and spherical shell subjected to internal pressure is investigated analytically using a strain gradient plasticity theory. As a result, the current solutions can capture the size effect at the micron scale. Numerical results show that the smaller the inner radius of the cylinder or spherical shell, the more significant the scale effects. Results also show that the size effect is more evident with increasing strain or strain-rate sensitivity index. The classical plastic-based solutions of the same problems are shown to be a special case of the present solution.     

Creep of thick-walled cylinders subjected to internal pressure and axial load

A creep theory is presented to predict deformations at any specified time for a thick-walled cylinder subjected to internal pressure and axial load. The theory is based on the usual assumptions that the deformations are infinitestimal, that the material is incompressible and that the total strain theory is valid. The stress-strain-time relation for the material is assumed to be represented by an isochronous stress-strain diagram which is approximated by an arc hyperbolic sine function. The experimental part of the investigation included tests of thick-walled cylinders made of high-density poly-ethylene whose ratio of outside to inside radii were either 1.5 or 2.0. The test cylinders were either tested as closed-ented cylinders with internal pressure or subjected to a combination of internal pressure and axial load. Also, the application of the theory for varying load conditions was studied. Good agreement was found between theory and experiment.     

Determination of the critical-stress-intensity factor KIc from internally pressurized thick-walled vessels

Stable crack growth is obtained by subjecting prenotched thick-walled cylinders to internal pressure, with the bore jacketed to keep the crack faces traction free. The critical-stress-intensity factor K_Ic is determined from the pressure at failure. Results are presented for PMMA and a variety of rocks.     

Investigation of stress-concentration factors in tensile strips

A photoelastic and a numerical investigation has been carried out to determine the stress-concentration factors at the edge of a central circular hole in a tensile strip for different ratios of hole diameter to width of the strip. The photoelastic data and the numerical results indicate that the stress-concentration factor at the minimum cross-sectional area tends to a value of two if the ratio of the hole diameter to the strip-width approaches a value of one.
