Functional loads

When subjected to a step function loading, solid samples respond in one of the characteristic response modes described in Chap. 2. Often it is desired to investigate materials response to structured loading or even to shear-pulse loading. Both of these loadings can be achieved with the use of an intervening disk of a solid material placed between the loading and the sample. 

Direct Transfer Lubrication Direct transfer lubrication has theoretical advantages in reducing the complexity of the overall design and in shortening the path from the reservoir to the lubricated bearing surface. However, a major limitation is that the lubricant reservoir must withstand the same load, speed, temperature and other conditions as are required by the function, load path, power, etc. of the machine design. This imposes severe constraints on the composition and method of incorporation of the reservoir material. 

The first page also lists the library processing functions Load Entry, Delete Entry, Change Description, and Change Info Definition. 

The function Load Entry extracts an entry from the library and saves it as an OPUS file labeled ENTRYn.O. Here, n represents the entry number in the library this value must be stated. You can enter this number either by hand or by double-clicking on the entry number in the Library Entries page. When you click on the Edit button, the respective spectrum is displayed in the spectrum window and the spectral data file ENTRYn.O appears in the browser... 

Ex vivo pushout tests indicate that the ceramic-metal bond fails before the ceramic-tissue bond and is the weak link in the system (Kohn and Ducheyne, 1992). There is therefore reason for concern about the weak ceramic-metal bond and integrity of that interface over a lengthy service life of functional loading. Material function under dynamic loading represents a critical parameter and a much-needed research area (Koeneman et al., 1990 Lemons, 1988). 

The predictive accuracy of FEA is influenced by a number of factors such as the geometric detail of the object to be modeled and analyzed, the applied boundary conditions, functional loading, and material properties. The assignment of proper material properties to an FEA model is a necessary step to ensure predictive accuracy. Stress and strain in a stmcture are derived based on the material properties.

Owing to the nature of a riser being submerged in deep water in an approximately vertical position, its loading conditions are more complicated than onshore pipehnes. In the design of a riser, the different loads can be categori2ed into functional loads, environmental loads, installation loads and accidental loads. 

Functional loads are the loads that the riser has to sustain during its operation. One of the major functional loads of a riser is internal pressure, which arises from the fluid content being transported by the riser itself. Two internal pressure conditions must...
