Loading sequence

A particularly striking recent application was by Deevi and Sikka (1997) they developed an industrial process for casting intermetallics, especially nickel alumi-nides, so designed (by modifying the furnace-loading sequence) that the runaway temperature rise which had made normal casting particularly dangerous was avoided. 

This is simpler than the first solution but this approach is only convenient for the simple loading sequence of stress on-stress off. If this sequence is repeated many times then this superposition approach becomes rather complex. In these cases the analytical solution shown below is recommended but it should be remembered that the equations used were derived on the basis of the superposition approach illustrated above.

Fatigue testing can be adapted to the application, by using special loading sequences derived from studies of the service conditions. Examples are in aircraft, trucks and prostheses. The fatigue of composite materials for use in aircraft has been studied extensively and methods proposed for the calculation of lifetime under variable or random loads.

First, the most important loads on wind turbine rotor blades are described and a brief review of fatigue research in composites is presented to place the following approach in a broader perspective. The approach described in this paper concerns modification of the existing formulations. Possible modifications are illustrated with predictions for an existing data set, which was generated by subjecting composite specimens to different variable amplitude load sequences.

Loading Sequence. Two similar columns of heparin-PVA beads were prepared ( ). The first column was loaded with thrombin followed by antithrombin III the sequence was reversed for the second column. The thrombin load was either crude bovine (62 U, 18 nmoles), pure bovine (23 U, 0.35 nmoles), or pure human (1072 U, 9.4 nmoles). The antithrombin 111 load was either crude human (3 mg 48 nmoles, 15 mL of defibrinated plasma) or purified human (1.5 mg, 24 nmoles, 0.29 mg/mL). After loading each protein, 100 mL of PBS was passed through the column and the residual thrombin activity measured by the chromogenic substrate method. 

By using the reverse loading sequence thrombin could interact with heparin/antithrombin III complex or with heparin alone. The colour yield obtained was similar in this sequence to that obtained by only thrombin loading, indicating that none of the thrombin on heparin-PVA gel had been neutralized by the heparin/antithrombin III complex.

A similar loading sequence caused failure in polyester fibres, but on some polyester fibres studied later by Oudet and Bunsell (1987) a low critical minimum load gave the same form of break. An important, and unexplained difference from nylon is that the axial cracks are closely parallel to the fibre axis. Consequently, the tails are extremely long. Fig. 9e,f. In one example, the crack had propagated beyond the final break zone, which was effectively a creep rupture failure from a central flaw. Fig. 9g. 

FIGURE 18.3 Loading sequence of HD" " ions into a cold ( 20mK) Be+ ion crystal. The presence of cold HD" " ions is obvious from the appearance of a dark (nonfluorescing) crystal core in the initially pure crystal. Heavier atomic and molecular ions were also loaded to the crystal. Because they are less tightly bound by the trap, they are located outside the fluorescing Be" " ensemble and cause its flattening. 

Figure 4. Loading sequence of the shaking table test (the arrows indicate the time when the White Noise wave excites the models).

The loading sequence of input waves in the shaking table test is given in Figure 4. The Wenchuan waves in each kind of direction have the gradual increasing excitation intensity from 0.1 g to 1.0 g at an interval of 0.1 g. Seven time history waves named by White Noise, which has a flat Fourier spectrum in wide frequencies (<50 Hz), are used to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the model slopes in different stages of the test.
