... face sheet is much smaller than that of the front face sheet. The deflection of the back face sheet is very small during the impact process. Meanwhile, with the increase of impact number, the compression of the top core increases gradually, and the number of bottom core cell walls buckling increases...

... coatings are often favoured as they provide a cost-effective solution although they are subject to high compressive stresses compared to a dry insulation system. However, modelling such polymeric materials is a challenge due to their complex structure and mechanical analysis often ignores the layer...

... the weight of inner pipe and insulation coating the Poisson effect induced by hydrostatic pressure At the same time, the inner pipe will compress due to its self-weight. The simultaneous elongation of the outer pipe, and shortening of the inner pipe, is called the packing phenomenon. The inner and outer...

... of compressions taken from a global analysis, which can represent both short- and/or long-term conditions. The program will then form a test regime that shall verify that the product can withstand the expected compressional loads.

... part is built to carry out the detailed analysis on the contact pressure. The influences of seal axial compression, rubber hardness and axial seal gap on the sealing pressure are analyzed. Simulation results show that with the increase of axial compression, the contact pressure of the sealing surface...

... presented an alternative method that simulates the characteristics of compressional occurrences taking place during installation of subsea cables and umbilicals. A test rig has newly been built with the possibility to combine oscillating axial compression and bending. The results from a pilot test show...

... is created by liquid coming into contact with the solid structure, it is more challenging to ascertain how an isolated air pocket is pressurised by an impulsive impact, and how the maximum impact pressure inside this bubble evolves. We study such a Bagnold-type impulsive compression of an air bubble...

... ABSTRACT Mechanical behavior of strengthened re-entrant hexagonal unit cells for anti-collision ship side structures under quasi-static planar compression was conducted by experimental test and FEA in the present research. Four types of re-entrant unit cells which are strengthened by narrow...

.... The local pipe bending caused by the armour wires non-axisymmetric deflections in the birdcaging section is identified and discussed. The results indicate that the ultimate axial compressive strength of a flexible pipe with damage on the outer layers may be inherently related to the event of combined radial...

...-deterministic model for assessing ice loads under ice compressions is proposed, on the basis of which recommendations are developed for determining the parameters of ice load on the side structures of a large-tonnage berth-connected ships, depending on ice conditions in the area of its operation. On the basis...

... ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of the primary compression ratio on the consolidation time curve for normally consolidated clays exhibiting large secondary compression. Results of one-dimensional consolidation test are used to demonstrate that the calculated...

... storms in the open water are considered as background oscillations. Compression/ridging events and heterogeneity of ice drift generate periodic micro-shearings that can be registered in ice cover as mechanical horizontally polarized waves. Ice compression/fracture event can be predicted by analyses...

And this study (Phase II) took account of additional factors such as the angle between the jointed plate and type...

The non-linear springs' properties are therefore linked to suction bucket diameter, friction angle and vertical overburden pressure. Lastly...
