Circumferential

If we suppose that the presence of a long axial emerging rectangular defect doesn t change the thickness e of the ring where the induction in the tube is not equal to zero but only its circumferential length, and also that it is it does not change the local induction in amplitude and phase, then the presence of the defect increases only the of the piece where the induction is not equal to zero, this increment is equal to 2he. 

The wall thickness for a typical generator tube in the swaged is 4,2 - 4,7 mm with a typical circumferential wall thickness variation 0,25 mm. The swage on a tube is typically formed in one of four ways ... 

The Driving Module houses power supply, circuits for determination of travel distance (odometer wheels) and circumferential orientation, and a computer and a storage facility for all data recorded. The Driving Module has cups extending to the pipe wall, thus providing the movement of the tool after its launching into the continuous oil flow. 

Two-dimensional models can be used to provide effective approximations in the modelling of polymer processes if the flow field variations in the remaining (third) direction are small. In particular, in axisymraetric domains it may be possible to ignore the circumferential variations of the field unlaiowns and analytically integrate the flow equations in that direction to reduce the numerical model to a two-dimensional form. 

In an axisymmetric flow regime all of the field variables remain constant in the circumferential direction around an axis of symmetry. Therefore the governing flow equations in axisymmetric systems can be analytically integrated with respect to this direction to reduce the model to a two-dimensional form. In order to illustrate this procedure we consider the three-dimensional continuity equation for an incompressible fluid written in a cylindrical (r, 9, 2) coordinate system as... 

In an axisymmetric flow regime there will be no variation in the circumferential (i.e. 0) direction and the second term of the integrand in Equation (4.8) can be eliminated. After integration with respect to 9 between the limits of 0 -27t Equation (4.8) yields... 

In Chapter 4 the development of axisymmetric models in which the radial and axial components of flow field variables remain constant in the circumferential direction is discussed. In situations where deviation from such a perfect symmetry is small it may still be possible to decouple components of the equation of motion and analyse the flow regime as a combination of one- and two-dimensional systems. To provide an illustrative example for this type of approximation, in this section we consider the modelling of the flow field inside a cone-and-plate viscometer. 

In the Couette flow inside a cone-and-plate viscometer the circumferential velocity at any given radial position is approximately a linear function of the vertical coordinate. Therefore the shear rate corresponding to this component is almost constant. The heat generation term in Equation (5.25) is hence nearly constant. Furthermore, in uniform Couette regime the convection term is also zero and all of the heat transfer is due to conduction. For very large conductivity coefficients the heat conduction will be very fast and the temperature profile will... 

Standard Galerkin procedure - to discretize the circumferential component of the equation of motion, Equation (5.23), for the calculation of vs. 

The stress field corresponding to this regime is shown in Figure 6.18. As this figure shows the measuring surface of the cone is affected by these secondary stresses and hence not all of the measured torque is spent on generation of the primary (i.e, viscometric) flow in the circumferential direction. 

Carbon—carbon composites for rocket nozzles or exit cones are usually made by weaving a 3D preform composed of radial, axial, and circumferential carbon or graphite fibers to near net shape, followed by densification to high densities. Because of the high relative volume cost of the process, looms have been designed for semiautomatic fabrication of parts, taking advantage of selective reinforcement placement for optimum thermal performance. 

One aspect of pressure vessel design which has received considerable attention in recent years is the design of threaded closures where, due to the high stress concentration at the root of the first active thread, a fatigue crack may quickly initiate and propagate in the radial—circumferential plane. Stress intensity factors for this type of crack are difficult to compute (112,113), and more geometries need to be examined before the factors can be used with confidence. 

When the operation of the hoUow-ftber membrane is to be reversed, and permeation from the bore to outer 2one is required, circumferential stress and pressure drop along the fiber capiUary (bore) must be considered in the design of the fiber unit. The circumferential stress, S is expressed as... 

Cera.mic, The ceramic substrate is made from a mixture of siUcon dioxide, talc, and kaolin to make the compound cordierite [12182-53-5]. Cordierite possesses a very low coefficient of thermal expansion and is thermal-shock resistant. The manufacturing process involves extmding the starting mixture (which is mixed with water and kneaded into a sort of dough) through a complex die to form the honeycomb stmcture. The extmded piece is dried and fired in a kiln to form the cordierite. The outside or circumferential dimension is formed by the die, and the length is cut later with a ceramic saw. 

Labyrinth Seals The labyrinth is one of the simplest of the many sealing devices. It consists of a series of circumferential strips of met extending from the shaft or from the bore of the shaft housing to form a cascade of annular orifices. Labyrinth seal leakage is greater than that of clearance bushings, contact seals, or filmriding se s. 

For straight metal pipe under internal pressure the formula for minimum reqiiired w thickness is applicable for D /t ratios greater than 6. Tme more conservative Barlow and Lame equations may also be used. Equation (10-92) includes a factor Y varying with material and temperature to account for the redistribution of circumferential stress which occurs under steady-state creep at high temperature and permits slightly lesser thickness at this range. 

Longitudinal joints in cylinders are more highly stressed than circumferential joints, and the code takes this fact into account. When forming heads, there is usually some thinning from the original plate thickness in the knuckle area, and it is prudent to specify the minimum allowable thickness at this point. 

Frequently cost savings for cylindrical shells can result from reducing the effective length-to-diameter ratio and thereby reducing shell thickness. This can be accomplished by adding circumferential stiffeners to the shell. Rules are included for designing and locating the stiffeners.
