Damage effects

The selection and appHcation of an expansion joint is not as simple as selecting a pipe fitting or a valve and requires a sound understanding of the joint s capabihties and limitations. Improper appHcation of any type of joint can result in serious or damaging effects. However, when properly selected and integrated into the piping system, satisfactory service and safe operation can be expected. Selection and appHcation of beUows expansion joints require special attention to design and installation. 

Chlorine is desirable as a bulk pretreatment biocide for inlet water, but its subsequent removal upstream of the membrane is absolutely necessary ana difficult. NaHSO,3 is a common additive to dechlorinate before membranes. It is customarily added at 3-5 mg/1, an excess over the stoichiometric requirement. NH3 is sometimes added to convert the chlorine to chloramine, a much less damaging biocide. Heavy metals present in seawater seem to amplify the damaging effects of chlorine and other oxidants.

In our last example we return to the issue of the possible damaging effects of the standard geometry constraints. Two long trajectories have been computed for a partially hydrated dodecamer DNA duplex of the previous example, first by using ICMD and second with Cartesian coordinate molecular dynamics without constraints [54]. Both trajectories started from the same initial conformation with RMSD of 2.6 A from the canonical B-DNA form. Figure 5 shows the time evolution of RMSD from the canonical A and B conformations. Each point in the figure corresponds to a 15 ps interval and shows an average RMSD value. We see that both trajectories approach the canonical B-DNA, while the RMSD... 

Estimates of pressures inside the cloud vary widely. Gugan (1978) calculated that the forces required to produce damage effects observed, such as the bending of steel, would have required local pressures of up to 5-10 bar. 

Table 6.10 presents some damage effects. It may give the impression that damage is related only to a blast wave s peak overpressure, but this is not the case. For certain types of structures, impulse and dynamic pressure (wind force), rather than overpressure, determine the extent of damage. Table 6.10 was prepared for blast waves of nuclear explosions, and generally provides conservative predictions for other types of explosions. More information on the damage caused by blast waves can be found in Appendix B. 

TNT equivalence The amount of TNT (trinitrotoluene) that would produce observed damage effects similar to those of the explosion under consideration. For non-dense phase explosions, the equivalence has meaning only at a considerable distance from the explosion source, where the nature of the blast wave arising is more or less comparable with that of TNT. 

It is important to recognize that all materials will have problems in certain environments, whether they are plastics, metals, aluminum, or something else. For example, the chemical effect and/or corrosion of metal surfaces has a damaging effect on both the static and dynamic strength properties of metals because it ultimately creates a reduced cross-section that can lead to eventual failure. The combined effect of corrosion and stress on strength characteristics is called stress corrosion. When the load is variable, the com-... 

This data led to the development of the original method of protecting the DNA from the damaging effects of UV radiation with a wavelength X = 254 nm for detection of the results of gel electrophoresis. It is demonstrated the benefits of the adding of the C6-AR in...
