The current state of knowledge in the area of pipe bend design is reviewed in this chapter. However, the literature on pipe bend design requires the details in the following area. Theoretical analysis of pipe bend Mathematical modelling Experimental investigation of the behaviour of pipe bends Numerical analysis of pipe bends Limit load analysis Piping bending methods STUDIES RELATED TO THEORETICAL ANALySIS OF PIPE BEND Systematic investigation in pipe bends was demonstrated experimentally by Bantlin (1910) that a curved pipe behaves differently under load than predicted by simple beam theory. The phenomenon of ovalization in pipe bend was observed and reported on the fact that it leads to greater flexibility than straight pipes …show more content…
The different approaches aim at providing more accurate estimate of these correction factors, in a form that can adequately be simplified, to become readily useable in design contexts. By comparing experimental and theoretical results, Gross (1952) detected a logical inconsistency in the way the circumferential membrane force is treated theoretically. He demonstrated that a correction for transverse compression was needed to maintain static equilibrium in the structure. He developed an expression that yields a more accurate estimate of the circumferential membrane force, based on the assumption that Von Karman’s analysis gives a correct estimate of the axial membrane …show more content…
For the flexibility factor, analytical solutions are presented in the case where a bend is approximated by a rigid restraint on both ends. To verify the analytical solution and its applicability limits, two numerical procedures are developed, which are based on the finite difference method and the reduction to the Kochi problem by the expansion of the unknowns in the Fourier series over the circumferential coordinate. The authors compared the results obtained with data from the literature, discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the methods, and presented recommendations for their practical application. Man Gyun Na el al. (2006) estimated the collapse moment due to wall thinned defects was estimated through fuzzy model identification. A subtractive clustering method was used as the basis of a fast and robust algorithm for identifying the fuzzy model which was optimized by a genetic algorithm combined with least square method. Principal component analysis was used to pre-process the input signals in to the fuzzy model to reduce the sensitivity to the input change and fuzzy model were trained by using the data set prepared for training and verified by using another data set different from training
The knowledge base consists of a collection of fuzzy if-then rules of the following form: $R^{l}$: if $x_1$ is $F_1^{l}$ and $x_2$ is $F_2^{l}$ and $ldots$ and $x_n$ is $F_n^{l}$, then is $G^{l},~l=1,2, cdots ,n$, where $x=[x_1,cdots,x_i]^{T}$ and $y$ are the FLS input and output, respectively. Fuzzy sets $F_i^{l}$ and $G^{l}$, associated with the fuzzy functions $mu_{{F_i}^{l}}(x_i)$ and $mu_{{G}^{l}}(y)$, respectively. $N$ is the rules inference number. \Through singleton function, center average defuzzification and product inference cite{shaocheng2000fuzzy}, the FLS can be expressed as: For any continuous function $f(x)$ defined on a compact set $Omegain R^n$, there exists a fuzzy system $y(x) = heta ^T
Tackling NFL Issues Mary Louise Pratt speech “ Art of the Contact zone”, discusses the depth of the contact zone and what it is. In Pratt’s understanding, a contact zone is term that refers to social spaces where cultures meet, clash, and grapple with each other, often in contexts of highly asymmetrical relations of power, such as colonialism, slavery, or their aftermaths as they are lived out in many parts of the world today.
Good and bad. Two simple word that are used often to gauge how things are viewed in the mind. The labeling of the world to fit into each category obviously can’t be perfect since the world isn’t that stark in the differences. Often many cases of using labels just limit the possible views we can have on topics since we accept the labels vas something that will generally apply. They also follow the idealized view of the world.
Strain and Deviance: an empirical test of General Strain Theory of in a Philippine Public University LITERATURE REVIEW Theoretical Background During the past decades, various criminologists developed different theories in an attempt to explain the causes of crime within the society. In return they were successful, as of today it was adopted or accepted, indeed all of theories explain the root causes of crime. One of these theories is anomie or strain theory which originally argues that the lower class frustration to higher class causes crime (Merton, 1938) in attempt to explain why majority of the people who commits crime are lower class.
The measured tensions were normalized relative to the maximum tension and the lengths were normalized relative to the length at which maximum force was generated (Ln = 29 mm). The measured data and expected data were plotted together (Figure 3). Correlation between measured and expected tensions at the same normalized lengths was determined for the three expected segments of the length-tension relationship.2,3,4 This was done using piecewise linear regression and yielded r2isometric = 0.956033. The fitted curve for the isotonic experiment resulted in r2isotonic = 0.960557. The F0 was 19.5 N for the fit and 6.35 N for the guess.
Lastly, the lab results were evaluated using the Support Vector Machine for classification and the small-scale in-the-wild
While, reading the article "Some Lessons from the Assemble Line ", I think the main point of this article is to compare working at a plant to college. According to Baaksma “Working can put stress on your body and going to college seems much easier to do” (17). Andrew Baaksma wants his readers to think about the importance of college and how simple it can be to get up and go to classes vs how stressful it can be getting up and going to work at a plant. I think Andrews views of college and work life to be true. I see it for myself, this is one of the reasons why I decided to go to college.
The Article “Finding Flow” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, expresses the choice we have in life to live or die until the end of days. He shows how we take control of our own destiny, and to not let distractions get in the way of our accomplishment. Csikszentmihalyi portrays that everyone has a different idea of accomplishment and goals, but living life to the fullest is shared by many. By saying this he means don’t waste your potential by letting side issues get in the way. In the article Csikszentmihalyi mentions a study held in a factory where most welders hated their jobs and found no passion in it.
Although crossings of pipelines should be avoided if possible it was necessary in this case. Both pipes were laid as perpendicular to the existing pipe and separated by a distance mutually agreed by both pipe owners. All exclusion zones on approach to the BLP were taken into account in order to avoid damage to the pipeline or facility, or injury to
Deviant behavior is the behavior that is different from the most powerful norms of the society or can also be defined as odd or unacceptable behavior. In sociological way deviance is simply any violation of societal norms. There are many reasons why a person has deviant behavior which includes biological , psychological and sociological explanations. the most popular sociological theories are Structural Strain Theory which was developed by Robert K merton as an addition of the functional point of view on deviance. The theory discovers the origin of deviance that these are caused by the difference
Force Field Analysis 1. Identify and understand a specific personal issue that is causing you stress, worry, or concern. This issue must be something that is generally within your control and that you would like to improve or change. • A specific personal issue that is causing me stress, worry, and concern would be my school grades. I would like to keep my grades in manner that is pleasing to me and not let them drop past a certain point.
3 MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY 3.0 INTRODUCTION Energy analysis of buildings helps to simulate the amount of energy used in a building. It is very important as it helps to discover and ascertain new ways of conserving energy and ensuring energy efficiency of building components. Building developers, construction engineers are increasingly interested in creating more energy efficient reason, and for this purpose whole building energy simulation programs are being used to determine strategies that save energy and are cost effective. The most common way available to perform this building energy analysis is to implement building information modelling(BIM). Building Information Modelling(BIM) consists of a digital representation of physical and functional
I had first formal exposure to civil engineering in course “Architecture 1”. This course provided me the fundamental concepts of civil architectural principles such as designing procedure, architectural component’s layouts, functional spaces as well as environmental impacts. To strengthen my concepts I pursued the courses “Strength of Materials”, “Structural Mechanics” which gave me essential knowledge about the external and internal forces occuring in simple structural elements under action of various types of loading as well as fundamental concepts in structural analysis such as modellisation, classification of structures. I gained valuable exposure to the analysis of simple structures submitted to compound loadings by the application of the principle of superposition for such cases as: unsymmetric bending, combined bending and tension or compression, combined bending and torsion, general compound loading. Futhermore, I was fascinated by the force method and displacement method for analysis of statically and kinetically indeterminate structures.
Today, bilingual education used in many countries for a variety of social and educational purposes. It is become actual problem of this century. Because, the world is changing and according to the requirements of time, the human mind adjusts to new discoveries, to new tops. Large-scale changes in all spheres of human activity: the globalization of the economy and politics, the information explosion, the rapid development of communication defined new requirements for the quality of education. First of all, a general global trend towards integration in the sphere of education determines the trend towards integration of subject knowledge.
