Loading mode

The mechanical properties of wood tend to increase when it is cooled and to decrease when it is heated (6,18). If untreated wood heated in air is not exposed to temperatures of more than - 70° C for more than about 1 year, the decrease in properties with increasing temperature is referred to as immediate or reversible ie, the property would be lower if tested at the higher temperature but would be unchanged if heated and then tested at room temperature. The immediate effect of temperature on strength and modulus of elasticity of clear wood, based on several different loading modes, is illustrated in Figures 4—6 (6). 

Component stress—during the back flow and forward reversals, all liic components involved with the gas propulsion are loaded diui unloaded, placing blading in a cyclic loading mode. 

An analysis of loading mode effects has also provided evidence of the critical role of hydrogen. A stress-intensity factor (K) can be achieved in either a tensile loading mode (mode I) or a shearing mode (mode III) (Section 8.9). Under mode I conditions the volume of metal immediately in... 

In more recent work embrittlement in water vapour-saturated air and in various aqueous solutions has been systematically examined together with the influence of strain rate, alloy composition and loading mode, all in conjunction with various metallographic techniques. The general conclusion is that stress-corrosion crack propagation in aluminium alloys under open circuit conditions is mainly caused by hydrogen embrittlement, but that there is a component of the fracture process that is caused by dissolution. The relative importance of these two processes may well vary between alloys of different composition or even between specimens of an alloy that have been heat treated differently. 

It should be evident that the full spectrum of the possible materials and applications in load-bearing situations involves many factors that may have to be taken into account. Fortunately, most products involve only a few factors, and others will not be significant or relevant. Regardless, the methods of design analysis must be made available to handle any possible combinations of such factors as the materials characteristics, the product s shape, the loading mode, the loading type, and other service factors and design criteria. 

Loads applied on products induce tension, compression, flexure, torsion, and/or shear, as well as distributing the loading modes. The product s particular shape will control the type of materials data required for analyzing it. The location and magnitude of the applied loads in regard to the position and nature of such other constraints as holes, attachment... 

A crack at a notch tip in a solid sample can propagate according to three different loading modes. The propagation occurs in ... 

Some other factors, including the metallurgical condition of the material (such as composition and heat treatment) and the loading mode (such as uniaxial), affect corrosion fatigue crack propagation. (Glaeser and Wright)5... 

In the load mode (anti-clockwise position), solvent from the pump jlet (red) passes directly out into the column (white). In this mode the sample inlet (blue) is connected through the load loop (black and yellow) to... 

Examples of load-displacement curves for the tensile loading mode specimens of the C(T) and CRB type are shown in Fig. 5 for POM and for PC, respectively for testing rates of 10 m/s up to 6 m/s. Typical traces of external load cell signals (load, F) and specimen strain gage signals (Usg) also for same specimens a higher loading rate (7 m/s) are shown in Fig. 6. 

Because of the high scattering of experimental results and the great difficulty in reaching the fully cohesive failure of wooden adhesive Joints, a numerical analysis has been made to give a better knowledge of their mechanical behaviour for various parameters (adhesive used. Joint thickness, loading mode, etc...). For the PU resin tested previously in shear, such an analysis has been made on two steps first simulations have been made on bulk adhesive specimen to determine the mechanical behaviour of the resin and the numerical results obtained have been implanted in the FE code CASTEM 2000 [21] for the mTENF bonded specimen loaded by shear.

Does the unavailability of adequate valves, piping, etc. limit plant performance and reliability when other modes of operation of the existing plant can be utilized to improve performance (e.g., operate activated sludge plant in plug, step, or contact stabilization mode operate RBCs in step loading mode) ... 

The boiler is a product able to supply hot water in a central heating application. The appliance may be developed to provide the sanitary hot water. The performance parameters of the boiler are the nominal heating capacity in kW defined as full load mode and the nominal partial load capacity at 30% of nominal heating capacity. Tests are performed at standard conditions, which means supply plant temperatures outlet 80°C inlet 60°C and for condensing boilers, supply plant temperatures outlet 50°C and inlet 30°C. 

Catalyst D was tested in durability program over a total time of 1600 hours ( = 640 durability cycles) which corresponds to 213.000 km of field operation. The durability cycle consisted of four (hfferent full load modes at 2300, 1380, 950, and 2600 min l. The first mode was run for one hour, the other modes for 0,5...
