Internal reinforcement design

The lattice-type shelf is functionally as good as the others, but it may not look appropriate for a book shelf in the context of a library. A second consideration is a combination of physical requirements and appearance. A simple plastic beam that will function adequately in terms of strength and stiffness may be rather thin. A shelf of this type can look flimsy even if it is functional. This impression is useful to the designer since the solid plate is probably an uneconomical use of material. A requirement was added that the design should look like a wood shelf since this is the context in which it is to be used. To produce the desired thickness appearance either a lipped pan with internal reinforcement can be used or, alternatively, a sandwich-type structure with two skins and a separator core. In either case the displacement of the material from the plane of bending will improve the stiffness efficiency of the product. The appropriate procedure is to... 

To account for the material evolutions, guidelines dedicated to the external or internal reinforcements of concrete structures using FRP composites usually introduce substantial durability parameters (reduction factors on FRP tensile properties and on shear characteristics of FRP/concrete bonded interfaces, creep stress levels and fatigue limits) see, for instance, ACI 440.2R-08 (2008) and ACI 440.1R-06 (2006). However, further research is still needed to refine the design codes and better calibrate the durability reduction factors taking into account synergistic effects between various environmental factors.

Rules for the design of shells of revolution under internal pressure differ from the Division 1 rules, particularly the rules for formed heads when plastic deformation in the knuckle area is the failure criterion. Shells of revolution for external pressure are determined on the same criterion, including safety factors, as in Division 1. Reinforcement for openings uses the same area-replacement method as Division 1 however, in many cases the reinforcement metal must be closer to the opening centerline. 

Silica compounds are generally processed in conventional internal mixers, preferably with intermeshing rotors. These mixers are designed and optimized for carbon black-fiUed compounds in which mixing is based only on physical processes. When a silica-silane reinforcing system is used, additionally a chemical reaction, the sUanization, occurs. One of the main influencing factors of the silanization reaction is the concentration of ethanol in the compound as well as in the mixer [25,26]. As the silanization finally reaches an equilibrium, low concentrations of ethanol in the compound are expected to enhance the reaction rate. 

Weld reinforcement shall be in accordance with Table GR-3.4.6 unless altered by the engineering design. Height of reinforcement or internal protrusion [see Table GR-3.4.6, Note (2)] in any plane through the weld shall be within the limits of the applicable height value in the table. Weld metal shall merge smoothly into the component surfaces. 

Abstract For more than a half century, tobacco manufacturers have conducted sophisticated internal research to evaluate nicotine delivery, and modified their products to ensure availability of nicotine to smokers and to optimize its effects. Tobacco has proven to be a particularly effective vehicle for nicotine, enabling manipulation of smoke chemistry and of mechanisms of delivery, and providing sensory cues that critically inform patterns of smoking behavior as well as reinforce the impact of nicotine. A range of physical and chemical product design changes provide precise control over the quantity, form, and perception of nicotine dose, and support compensatory behavior, which is driven by the smoker s addiction to nicotine. Cigarette... 

In the 1970s, Murray Jarvik and others, postdated that the powerful reinforcing effects of tobacco for humans were most likely explained by substances in addition to nicotine in the tobacco and smoke (Jarvik 1977 Russell 1979). Addiction to tobacco has been designated by the nomenclature as nicotine dependence and nicotine withdrawal by the American Psychiatric Association since 1987 because of the presence of nicotine (American Psychiatric Association 1994, 1987 Stratton et al. 2001). In fact, tobacco products are complex chemical cocktails, with the modem commercial cigarette representing perhaps the most complex of all. Therefore, there is also strong merit in the approach of the WHO in its International Classification of Diseases to use the terms tobacco dependence and tobacco withdrawal. ... 

Internal pressure stresses. Stresses due to internal pressure shall be considered safe when the wall thickness of the piping component, including any reinforcement, meets the requirements of the pressure design of components defined by the ASME B31.3 code.
