Joints making

Sheet or panel (metal, plastic, etc.) wall siding. Seal tight all lap or butt joints. Make certain that caps, covers and flashings don t have hidden voids due to siding configurations (flutes, corrugations, etc.)... 

First consider whether Mrs PJ may have problems using her medication due to her rheumatoid arthritis. Many patients with rheumatoid arthritis will have deformed joints, making it difficult for them to open medicine bottles or to use blister packs. Does Mrs PJ require an aid to help her open her bottles ... 

A final word about the order of names of joint inventors which appear on a granted patent. The sequence of names follows the order in which they appear in the application oath. In the eyes of the law, the first name on a patent does not imply in any way a greater contribution or lesser or what have you. All joint inventors are considered as jointly making the invention somewhat in the manner of a joint tenancy holding real estate. Each has an undivided part in the whole as well as in the part.

The difficulties of detecting buried cracks in as-welded joints make it particularly important to use safe welding procedures, as described subsequently in this book. The difficulties can also lead to incorrect identification of the type of crack which has been... 

Channel tubes (88 mm o.d. and 4 mm thick) are of welded design and contain fuel assemblies which are cooled by boiling light water. The upper and lower parts of the channel are made of stainless steel and the central part, located in the active zone, is made from a zirconium/2% niobium alloy. The central part is joined to the upper and lower parts by vacuum diffusion-welded stainless steel/zirconium transition joints. The channel tube is attached to the upper duct by a welded joint, and to the lower one by a compensator unit, which is necessary to compensate for the difference in thermal expansion of the channels and ducts without destroying the leak-tightness of the reactor cavity. This type of joint makes it possible to replace a channel during reactor shutdown.

When the design shear load on an adhesive joint makes overloading or fatigue failure likely (see pp. 6 22 Fatigue), alternative means of transmitting load from one component to the other must be examined. 

The unique advantages of rubber expansion joints make them used in industrial settings where fluid and gas handling is a primary part of the process, e.g. waste management, or air pollution control. Wherever movements or vibrations from thermal expansion or mechanical equipment expansion occur, joints provide low cost and efficient solutions to leakage problems. 

If the operator notes the need for adjustment or repair, the supervisor uses the pretrip inspection form to generate a work order for maintenance to initiate repairs. If the repair looks serious enough, the supervisor and operator will jointly make a decision about whether the equipment should be sidelined or if the equipment can safely operate in its current state. The judgment about whether equipment should continue to operate or be sidelined is too often a matter for debate. 

In general, experimental results on beam-column joints without transverse steel shear reinforcement emphasize a strictly degrading behavior caused, on one hand, by the shear behavior of the joint panels and, on the other hand, by the bond-slip behavior of longitudinal reinforcements anchored in it see Fig. 10. Experimental research on the seismic performance of the beam-column joints (Walker 2001 Alire 2002 Pantelides et al. 2002) has revealed that the joint shear stress-strain response, typically, has a degrading envelope and a highly pinched hysteresis. Moreover, the common practice of terminating the beam s bottom reinforcement within the joints makes the bottom reinforcement prone to pullout under a seismic excitation. Insufficient beam bottom bar anchorage precludes the formation of bond stresses necessary to develop the yield stress in the beam s bottom reinforcement. 

For these reasons, more attention is focused on AXI methods. The use of lead-free solder has little effect on AXI systems (Figure 3). While lead-free solder is about 15 to 20% less dense than leaded solder, AXI has no problem imaging lead-free materials. AXI can see the full shape of the joint, make volume measurements, provide full heel-and-toe measurements and measure angles based on slope of solder density. In particular, AXI has the ability to easily detect voids, a capability that may become more important in the future. The loss of electrical and visual access, a side effect of recent manufacturing trends, does not affect AXI. 

Thus, the complex strain distributions in axially loaded butt joints make it difficult quantitatively to predict their stress-strain behaviour and ultimate tensile strength from the bulk properties of the adhesive without the use of a non-linear stress analysis and a detailed understanding of the response of the adhesive to the local stress concentrations around the perimeter of the joint. Conversely, it would be very difiicult to use the stress-strain data obtained from axially loaded butt...
