The flexural bending and shear that arise with applied axial torsion are each considered theoretically and numerically in terms of two longitudinal axes of loading not coincident with the shear centre. In particular, the warping displacements, stiffness and stress distributions are calculated for torsion applied to longitudinal axes passing through the section’s centroid and its web centre. The stress conversions derived from each action are superimposed to reveal a net sectional stress distribution. Therein, the influence of the axis position upon the net axial and shear stress distributions is established compared to previous results for each beam when loading is referred to a flexural axis through the shear centre. Within the net stress analysis is, it is shown how the constraint to free warping presented by the end fixing modifies the axial stress. The latter can be identified with the action of a ‘bimoment’ upon each thin-walled section.展开更多

The Lagrangian trajectory method is used in the three dimensional simulation for floating rates of fxazil ice particles along a 180° bend channel. The velocity profiles in longitudinal and transverse directions, the turbulence intensity, and the residual pressure are simulated. Under the condition of gravitational similarity, the simulated floating rates of frazil ice particles in the model bend channel and the prototype bend channels are compared. Results indicate that the profiles for floating rates of ice particles for flows in the model channel are similar to those in the prototype bend channels. The simulated floating rates of ice particles are clearly higher along the convex bank than along the concave bank at each cross section. For the prototype bend channel in a large model scale, the variation of floating rate across each cross section is relatively small.展开更多

The variations of the water level under the ice jammed condition with bridge piers are compared to those without bridge piers in an 180° bend channel. Results indicate that the bridge piers in the S-shaped channel have obvious impacts on the ice accumulation and the water level. The increment of the water level with the presence of the bridge piers is less than that without the bridge piers in the channel. Different arrangements of the bridge piers result in different increments of the water level. When one bridge pier is installed in the straight section of the channel（between 2 bends） and another one at the bend apex（for a convex bank）, the increment of the water level during the equilibrium ice jammed period is between that with a single bridge pier located in the straight section of the bend channel and that with a single bridge pier located at the bend apex. It is also shown that the increment of the water level during the equilibrium ice jammed period increases with the increase of the average thickness of the ice jams.展开更多

By use of this solution the water depth is able to be determined at any point in total bend, which provides a better understanding of depth distribution in bend in comparison with traditional method of one dimensional calculation. The experimental verification shows that the calculated value by this formula well coincides with measured value.展开更多

This was accomplished via the equal channel angular extrusion （ECAE） process at a temperature of 200℃ using route A, with a constant ram speed of 30 mm/min through a die angle of 90° between the die channels for as many as 6 passes. The experiments were conducted on an Avery universal testing machine. The results showed that the grain diameter decreased from 45 μm to 2.8 μm after 6 extru- sion passes. The results also indicated that the major improvement in fatigue resistance occurred after the first pass. The subsequent passes improved the fatigue life but at a considerably lower rate. A maximum increase of 1100% in the case of low applied stresses and an ap- proximately 2200% increase in fatigue resistance in the case of high applied stresses were observed after 5 passes. The improvement of fa- tigue resistance is presumed to be due to （1） a reduction in the size and the number of Si crystals with increasing number of ECAE passes, （2） the aggregation of Cu during the ECAE process, （3） the formation and growth of CuA12 grains, and （4） grain refinement of the A1--6063 alloy during the ECAE process.展开更多

The relationship between the formation of the first bend of the Yangtze River and Eocene magmatic activity is expounded, suggesting that the first bend of the Yangtze River is the result from choking of the strong magmatic activity in Eocene. As a result, the upstream became a natural reservoir, whose riverside between Mt. Yulong and Mt. Haba was burst, guiding Jinshajiang River running eastward. At the same time, the drastic uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau led to the deep dissection of the river cut down the channel, resulting in the formation of the Tiger Leaping Gorge. The magnitude of uplift in the study area (located in the eastern of the Tibetan Plateau) is calculated. Taking Mt. Yulong as a base, the magnitude of lift is 3,300 m from Eocene to Pliocene, adding 700 m since Pleistocene, totaling up to 4,000 m or so.展开更多
