Finite Element Analysis of Effect of Double Shot Peening on Residual Stresses of 18CrNiMo7-6 Gear Steel by Wang Zhen, Sun Hao, Wang Guohao

“…The findings indicate that double shot peening yields more uniform surface plastic deformation in comparison to single shot peening. Additionally, the second shot peening can significantly increase the residual compressive stress on the surface of the material, and shifts the depth of maximum residual compressive stress value towards the surface. …”

Mechanical Behavior Evolution and Damage Characterization of Coal under Different Cyclic Engineering Loading by Huajun Wang, Jian Li

“…It is found that LURR is an effective parameter to evaluate the damage of coaly rock under cyclic loading and is also useful in distinguishing different deformation mechanism at different loading stages. The results also show that the damage of coal can initiate at the early stage of cyclic loading at a low loading frequency; however, the increase in frequency of cyclic loading can delay the damage time, requiring a relatively higher level of peak cyclic stress amplitude.…”

Lateral behavior of high-speed railway bridge pile foundation in soft soils under adjacent surcharge loads considering time-dependent characteristics by Shuanglong Li, Zhiping Deng, Limin Wei, Qiaoxiong Chen, Yang Zhang, Feifei He

“…The time-dependent mechanism of pile-soil interaction was revealed by characterizing the variations of the additional lateral load acting on the pile shaft, the soil-arching stress between piles, and the plastic deformation in the soil around piles. The results show that with increasing load duration, the bending moment and deflection of the pile increase gradually, and their distribution is closely related to the thickness and location of the soft soil layer. …”
