Abstract: TiB-Ti/Ti-6Al-4V composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique under a pressure of 50MPa, with sintering temperature of 1300 °C and heating rate of 100 °C /min. The effect of the TiB content in TiB-Ti composite layer on microstructures and mechanical properties of the TiB-Ti/Ti-6Al-4V composites were investigated. The results indicate that as an advanced welding method, SPS technique provided the excellent welding combination of TiB-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V. The relatively excellent mechanical properties of the joints, including the relative density of 98.6%, micro-hardness of 10.2GPa, fracture strength of 177MPa were achieved as TiB content in TiB-Ti composite layer reaches 50%.

Abstract: There was performed the analysis of a set of methodical solutions for determining of current and limit plasticity of welded joint zones at large diameter pipes. To determine the current plastic deformation of zones of pipes' welded joints it is offered to test the natural ring of a height of 80 mm, of a pipe with size 530x7,5 mm made of steel 17GS, welded by arc welding using a welding wire SV-08HM under a layer of flux AN-60. The ring samples are tested in the cone, the constructive dimensions of which match the cone used on the expander by the definite value of broadening on the hydraulic press with the force not less than 500 tons. The results of tests of ring samples of welded pipe with size 530х7,5 mm while their broadening by the cone. To determine the limit of plastic deformation of zones of a welded joint of large diameter pipes a method for testing a flat sample is proposed. The construction of the sample and the scheme of loading to determine the limit plasticity of welded pipe joints are proposed.

Abstract: A type of joint between Concrete-filled Square Steel Tube columns and steel beam is proposed in this paper, Based on joint experiment, appropriate material stress-strain relations and failure criteria are proposed, numerical simulation by finite element program is conducted under monotonic and cyclic loading and the seismic behavior of the joints under low-reversed cyclic loading is researched. Through the data contrast, it is proved that this type of joint has nice seismic behavior.

Abstract: Environmentally sustainable building construction has experienced significant growth during the past 10 years. The public is becoming more aware of the benefits of green construction,and green building is leading to changes in the way of owners, designers, contractors, and approach of the design, construction. A new type of frame consisting of steel beam and reinforced concrete column (RCS) installing efficient and light heat insulation wall has been presented in composite frame. The composite frame fully develops the merits of steel and concrete, and thus is reasonable and economical from both structural and construction viewpoints. The chief aim of the present work is to establish the design procedures for RCS joints based on the existing standards in china. The research has recorded valuable experimental data using the method of the nonlinear three-dimensional ANSYS finite element.The research work introduces an amended design formula,which takes account the effect of ratio of axial compression stress to strength. Some effective design suggestions are given as a reference to the structural engineer.

Abstract: An improved morphological edge detection algorithm for silk products jumpers and connectors’ test was proposed. With structure elements of different models, we detect the edge information in different directions of silk products respectively; using the proposed adaptive fusion method based on histogram matching, we can obtain ideal image edge, while enhance the blurred edges, and effectively eliminate the silk products inherent texture and noise, then detect the clear jumpers and connectors.

Abstract: In this article the results of round timber bolted joints with inserted steel plates tests are presented. First, unreinforced round timber specimens were tested. Mechanical reinforcement by using modified washers, steel bands, BOVA plates and boost with screws of round timber specimens based on test result was then proposed. Reinforced specimens of various densities were then tested and rate of improvement in tensile strength was established for each of five proposed reinforcement methods. Tests were carried out on EU100 pressure machine in Faculty of Civil Engineering of VŠB-TUO Ostrava.

Abstract: This paper presents the results of static tests of non-reinforced round timber bolted joints with slotted-in steel plates loaded perpendicular to the grain. This type of joints loading is particularly widespread in truss structures. Round timber test samples series were prepared to validate the behavior of a joint loaded in tension perpendicular to the grain. The joints samples were experimentally tested in the laboratory of the Faculty of Civil Engineering VŠB TU Ostrava. The test results were compared with the calculated load-carrying capacity of joints by Johansen’s yielding theory.

Abstract: location axis, joints, force-transforming plates, carrying capacityAbstract: Steel structure has been widely used all over the world. In actual construction process, steel structure inevitably has initial defects, which may have bad influences on its performance. Three groups of specimens were designed in this paper to compare the performance of rigid joints transferring forces outside box columns to that of perfect traditional joints and that of traditional joints with uniaxial and biaxial deviation of column's location axis by finite element method program ANSYS. From the analysis of stiffness, yielding capacity, and ultimate carrying capacity, the impact of force-transforming plates can be evaluated. The adding force-transforming plates were helpful to reduce the influence from column imperfect.

Abstract: The content of this paper are possibilities of using round timber in various public facilities structures (e.g. children ́s playgrounds) and in engineering constructions (e.g. watchtowers, bridges and footbridges). Specific problems of designing round timber structures, mainly in joints, are presented here.

Abstract: In order to analyze the mechanical properties of UHVDC transmission tower joint accurately, a multi-scale finite element model of the transmission tower is established with the interface between solid element model and beam element model. The model is applied to the nonlinear analysis of a key joint in a test condition .The results show that the tower destruction is caused by buckling behavior of the cross bracing member and the multi-scale model can simulate the force state of gusset-plate and the connected members realistically, which is superior to traditional large scale models. The analysis coincides with the experiment well and provides references for the transmission tower design.
