Full-scale testing of European steel beams with reduced beam section under reversed cyclic loading

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

Steel beams with reduced beam section (RBS) are often used as part of prequalified connections in seismic regions. However, RBS connections are not as common in Europe. Reasons relate to easiness in fabrication, which requires on-site welding, and the seis ...

Generation of elastic geodesic gridshells with anisotropic cross sections

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne

Geodesic gridshells are shell structures made of continuous elements following geodesic lines. Their properties ease the use of beams with anisotropic cross-sections by avoiding bending about their strong axis. However, such bending may arise when flatteni ...

Gas-puff induced cold pulse propagation in ADITYA-U tokamak

Harshita Raj

Short bursts (similar to 1 ms) of gas, injecting similar to 10(17)-10(18) molecules of hydrogen and/or deuterium, lead to the observation of cold pulse propagation phenomenon in hydrogen plasmas of the ADITYA-U tokamak. After every injection, a sharp incre ...

Adaptive Laser Welding Control: A Reinforcement Learning Approach

Giulio Masinelli, Silvio Zanoli

Despite extensive research efforts in the field of laser welding, the imperfect repeatability of the weld quality still represents an open topic. Indeed, the inherent complexity of the underlying physical phenomena prevents the implementation of an effecti ...

Recommendations for Improved Welding Procedures for Thick Steel Plates Through Thermo-Mechanical Analysis

Dimitrios Lignos

Welding of steel plates is accompanied by residual stresses that increase as the constraint provided by the welded components becomes greater. Consequently, crack initiation has been reported after welding thick plates due to the high residual stresses dev ...

Residual stresses of friction melt bonded aluminum/steel joints determined by neutron diffraction

Jean-Marie Drezet

Near interfacial residual stresses are investigated in a joint composed of aluminum alloy and dual phase steel. A small step neutron diffraction scan was initially performed to determine the weld interface position along the measured transverse cross secti ...

Folded-Tube Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Bending

Wyatt Marshall Felt

This article presents a model and experimental results for a new class of bending soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) made from a single section of thin-walled flexible tubing. The actuator is formed by creasing the tubing into fin-like rectangular folds and i ...

Healing cracks in selective laser melting by 3D laser shock peening

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Jamasp Jhabvala, Nikola Kalentics, Navid Sohrabi, Hossein Ghasemi Tabasi

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of Ni-based superalloys such as CM247LC is prone to weld-cracking. This paper investigates how to suppress cracks by repeatedly applying Laser Shock Peening (LSP) during the building phase of SLM. Samples made of CM247LC were ...
