Abstract: 16MnR is the typical material of pressure equipment which worked under complex stress state in engineering application. In order to be close to the actual combined tension-shearing stress state and explore the relationship of deformation capacity and different stress state, many groups of combined tension-torsion tests on 16MnR specimens were designed and the equivalent stress-strain relation under different stress state was obtained. The concept of stress triaxiaty (TS value) was cited to characterize the different stress state and the result showed different stress states have a great influence on the material plastic deformation capacity, TS value turns larger, the plastic deformation weakened; 16MnR has a strongest plastic deformation capacity in pure torsion; the level of tensile stress had no significant effect on the maximum stress in the biaxial stress state, but has a significant inverse relationship with the maximum equivalent strain .At last, the mathematical relationship between maximum equivalent-strain and stress triaxiaty could be found. If the stress state of one point in the engineering structures is certain, the maximum equivalent-strain can be estimated.

Abstract: The analysis of free vibration of simply-supported lamineted composite coated beams is investigated. With a core made from an isotropic material (steel) and faces made from composite material, (glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy), two sandwich beam models are used in the study. For this purpose, a computer code is developed using MATLAB to perform the analysis of free-vibration of strengthened beams by composite coats. The effects of the variation of different parameters such as the span/depth ratio, fiber orientation angle of the coat, and thickness ratio on natural frequencies and of the beam are examined.

Abstract: This study is to explore a rod type ultrasonic motor, it can solve the traditional ultrasonic motor with a high speed, but only low torque (or low loading ability) the shortcomings. Or want to improve the traditional ultrasonic motor with high torque (or high loading ability), but speed is too low the drawback. In other words, this study is expected to perform the ultrasonic motor, hope that we can have both higher speed and higher torque of the effect (or higher loading ability), and it can be applied to drive the optical lens (or electro-mechanical systems ) or applied to toggle the slider (or linear rails ). Based on the experimental results, we found that maximum rotational speed is 200rpm under conditions of 180V_p-p, 33.7kHz and 53gw preload. And the maximum loading ability and torque is respectively 4.13kgw and 0.273Nm under conditions of 180V_p-p, 33.7kHz and 15rpm rotational speed. Under similar size and driving conditions, its rotational speed is 3.8 times that of the conventional ultrasonic motor and the loading ability is 7.0 times the conventional ultrasonic motor.

Abstract: The process of novel silk transfer printing included the heat-press and steaming. The temperature and pressure in the heat-press process achieved the tight adhesion between the transfer paper and silk, which also obviously affected the dye penetration in the fiber. This adhesion was the most curial precondition to transfer dye effectively, to obtain an ideal penetration, the temperature and pressure should be controlled to 95~115°C and 3~6Mpa, respectively. The steaming realized the dye transfer and dye fixation. The steaming saturation influenced the K/S value of face prints and penetration greatly and was suggested to keep 80%~98%. Moreover, the temperature and time in the steaming were better in the rang of 100~110°C and 10~25min, respectively.

Abstract: Manufacturing industries such as the aerospace industry and the molding industry need to process products of complex and high-precision curved surface. Multi-axis machine tool with two rotational axes plays an indispensable role in processing such products. However, in a fiercely competitive market, each manufacturer is devoted to reduce processing time and costs. Therefore, how to efficiently create multi-axis numerical control program has become an important issue. Typical multi-axis machining parts often have specific machining features such as hole, groove or even engraved text on the inclined plane. Although the tool path can be generated by the advanced multi-axis CAD/CAM system, the prices of such systems are very high. This study proposed a methodology for defining the inclined working plane of the multi-axis machining tool. According to the defined working coordinate system proposed in this study, the tool path files of the traditional three-axis machine tool can be transformed to the five-axis NC program through post-processing calculation. As a result, the required NC program can be obtained for the same machining feature on any inclined plane in shorter time. Finally, this study tested and confirmed the accuracy of the numerical control program by solid cutting simulation software.

Abstract: When developing innovative structural systems, designers are faced with a difficult problem when addressing connection design. While the provisions for the design of members and their failure modes are well understood and codified, the design and performance of the connections are not. Current specifications require designers to provide evidence, through either experiments or analysis and combinations thereof, that these connections will perform as intended. In this paper, the design of an innovative type of connection to concrete-filled tube columns is described. These connection are partially-restrained, contain a new type of material (shape memory alloys), and are geared for high seismic loads making their design a very challenging proposition without the aid of physical testing. The design is developed based on detailed finite element analyses of the connection region and elements which lead to simplified spring models suitable for design of entire frames. The results indicate that through careful and rigorous analyses, robust simplified connection models can be developed even for complex connections.

Abstract: This paper is mainly performed to investigate T-stub connection that is described on the basis of ideal strength limit states. The determination of T-stub based on the full plastic strength of the steel beam in accordance with 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions. The T-stub connections considered herein were performed to include the T-stub component of bolted moment connection frames. Therefore, the proposed T-stub models will be evaluated by comparing the required factored bar strength. T-stub components using ten high strength bolts with wider gages are demonstrated in this design. In addition, equations for connection design will be described in this paper. Finally, new design methodology is applied to T-stub connections suggested in this study.

Abstract: The main focus of this study is to investigate the clip-angle connections are described the section based on ideal limit states. The connection components are designed in accordance with the 2001 AISC-LRFD Specifications and the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions. In the suggested clip-angle connection, the structural beam can be connected to the column using six high-strength bolts. The slippage on the shear faying surface contributes to increasing energy dissipated capacity in the connection behavior. The design of the clip-angle connection should include these mechanical characteristics. Therefore, this study presents new design methodology that can be applied to bolted clip-angle connections. Besides, step-by-step procedures for design will be treated herein.

Abstract: On the basis of analyzing the line friction belt conveyor transmission mechanism of driving forces, the calculation method of driving force, as well as the design essentials of this conveyor system were pointed out. According to the conditons that the line friction drive motor power, the driving belt tensile strength and its minimum tension, the calculation formula of transmission belt length were obtained respectively. Meanwhile according to the maximum tension that supporting belt permitted, the position of the driving belt would be confirmed. Line friction driving mode may reduce the conveyor belt maximum tension, that is, the belt with a lower intensity levels could be selected, thereby the cost of conveying belt would be greatly reduced.
