Experimental Study on Seismic Performance of Prefabricated Frame Column Joints with a High Axial Compression Ratio by Y. L. Wang, X. Y. Wu, B. B. Li

“…The hysteresis and skeleton curves of the assembled columns are similar to the cast-in-site concrete column under the same conditions, which have a good ductility and energy dissipation capacity. It was established that increasing the thickness of the outer steel plate does not significantly improve the mechanical performance of the component when the load-bearing capacity of members satisfies the design requirements. …”

Hysteretic Behavior of Prestressed Concrete Bridge Pier with Fiber Model by Wang Hui-li, Feng Guang-qi, Qin Si-feng

“…Firstly, greater prestressed tendon ratio and more longitudinal reinforcement can lead to more obvious pier’s hysteresis loop “pinching effect,” smaller residual displacement, and lower energy dissipation capacity. Secondly, the greater the stirrup reinforcement ratio is, the greater the hysteresis loop area is. …”

Numerical investigation of water droplet collision dynamics on moving surfaces by Shu Tian, Atena Ghaderi

“…Also, detachment of the lamella becomes stronger by increasing the speed of the surface; hence, there is only a little recoiling contact with increased energy dissipation. In contrast, the smaller droplets had a quite stable spreading with no lamella breakup at all, which is evidence again for the decisive action of droplet size and kinetic energy in dynamics after impact. …”

THERMAL CHARACTERISTIC ANALYSIS METHOD OF MOTORIZED SPINDLE BASED ON THERMAL LOAD OPTIMIZATION CORRECTION by MENG LingCong, LI ChenTao, YU Bing, LIU Teng, ZHANG JianJun

“…For the inaccuracy of empirical heat loads for spindle thermal simulations,a thermal simulation analysis method onto motorized spindle unit is proposed.Firstly,the fluid-solid-heat coupling simulation model of the motorized spindle unit is established by Ansys Workbench,with the coolant dynamic heat transfer and thermal resistances of bearing inner-spindle shaft and outer rings-bearing housing being considered.Secondly,based on the simulation model,genetic algorithm is used to optimize and correct the heat generation values of spindle motor/beairngs and ambient heat transfer coefficients.The corrected values above are used as thermal loads for thermal simulation modeling of motorized spindle unit.Based on the model,the dynamic relationship between the heat dissipation power of the coolants and the heat generation power of spindle motor/beairngs is studied.Finally,the model accuracy is verified by the spindle temperature testing experiment.The results show that the optimization correction model can effectively improve the temperature field simulation accuracy of the motorized spindle unit,and the spindle structure and the coolant reach the optimal heat-heating balance when the coolant supply temperature is about 2℃ lower than the ambient temperature.…”
