Axial loading properties

It is useful to get preliminary learning on the mechanical properties of materials under simple static tension. Members of engineering structures are often subjected to steady axial loads in tension. Moreover, the response of materials subjected to other types of loading also can often be explained or predicted on the basis of knowledge of their behaviour under simple tension. In addition, such behaviour is usually quite easy to study experimentally.

Compaction stress decreases exponentially with axial distance from the apphed pressure [Strijbos et al.. Powder TechnoL, 18, 187, 209 (1977)] due to frictional properties of the powder and die wall. As originally demonstrated by Janseen [Zeits. D. Vereins Deutsch Ing., 39(35), 1045 (1895)], the axial stress experienced within a cylindrical die due to an applied axial load <3o may be estimated by... 

Various factors influence the tube natural frequency in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger as summarized in Table 17.37. In general, the natural frequency of an unsupported span is influenced primarily by the geometry, elastic properties, inertial properties, span shape, boundary conditions, and axial loading of the tube. 

To measure load distribution, standard aerospace bolts were fitted with strain gauges. Both shear and axial load could be measured. A three-dimensional finite element model with linear elastic material properties was developed for calculation of load distribution prior to initiation of material failure and comparison with instm-mented bolt results. Model details are similar to those of the single-bolt model above, with a full contact analysis being performed for all bolts, washers and holes. 

Ply orientations in a laminate are taken with reference to a particular loading direction, usually taken to be the direction of the maximum applied load, which, more often than not, coincides with the fibre direction to sustain the maximum load, and this is defined as the 0° direction. It is usual to choose balanced, symmetric laminates in design. A balanced laminate is one in which there are equal numbers of-1-0 and - 0 plies a symmetric laminate is one in which the plies are symmetric in terms of geometry and properties with respect to the laminate mid-plane. Hence, a laminate with a stacking sequence 0/90/-I-45/-45/-45/-I-45/90/0, which is written (0/90/ 45), is both balanced and symmetric. Balanced, symmetric laminates have a simplicity of response. In contrast, an unbalanced, asymmetric laminate will, in general, shear, bend, and twist under a simple axial loading. 

Factors such as the rapid increase of traffic volume and axial loading, the higher demands of users for better and constant ride quality and the users disturbance during maintenance works made the need for improvement of bitumen properties and consequently of the bituminous works imperative.
