海洋管状结构轴向荷载下K型接头与外板局部节点柔度的数值分析与讨论

The Local Joint Flexibility(_(LJF))of steel K-joints reinforced with external plates under axial loads is investigated in this paper.For this aim,firstly,a finite element(FE)model was produced and verified with the results of several experimental tests.In the next step,a set of 150 FE models was generated to assess the effect of the brace angle(θ),the stiffener plate size(ηandλ),and the joint geometry(γ,τ,ξ,andβ)on the_(LJF)factor(f_(LJF)).The results showed that using the external plates can decrease 81%of the f_(LJF).Moreover,the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing plate on the f_(LJF)is more remarkable in the joints with smallerβ.Also,the effect of theγon the f_(LJF)ratio can be ignored.Despite the important effect of the f_(LJF)on the behavior of tubular joints,there is not available any study or equation on the f_(LJF)in any reinforced K-joints under axial load.Consequently,using the present FE results,a design parametric equation is proposed.The equation can reasonably predict the f_(LJF)in the reinforced K-joints under axial load.

This algorithm uses a mathematical formula to search n elements in the sequence of n elements in O(n)expected time,and experimental reesult proves that distribution search is superior to binary search.

Pregnant Women-targeted Toothpaste Market Analysis

This article is written to examine the newest circumstances and characteristics in the pregnancy women targeted toothpaste market.Among the marketed toothpaste for pregnant women,the main functions of basic products are to clean teeth and freshen breath.The main functions of functional products are to prevent and reduce oral inflammation,balance the oral acid-alkali environment,reduce dental acid corrosion and caries,inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the oral cavity,and alleviate the pain of pregnancy and vomiting.On the basis of summarizing the oral characteristics and nursing needs of pregnant women,the problems that should be paid attention to in safety and formula design in the next step of development of toothpaste for pregnant women were put forward.

Experimental investigation of the relation between the surface integrity and bending fatigue strength of carburized gears

Bending fatigue is an essential parameter that needs to be considered in the improvement process of the power density and reliability of gear drives. Quantitative relations among the manufacturing parameters, surface integrities, and fatigue performance are not clear, which seriously limits the effectiveness of an anti-fatigue design. For this work, tooth-bending fatigue tests of carburized gears with different surface integrities were performed using a pulsator. The effects of the manufacturing parameters and surface integrities on the gear fatigue, such as surface hardness and residual stress, were investigated. The experimental results revealed that due to the improvement of surface integrities after shot peening, the nominal bending stress number(fatigue limit) increased by 6.3%–31.1%, with an amplitude range of 39–143 MPa. A supervised learning algorithm of a random forest was implemented to determine the contribution of the surface hardness and surface residual stress to the nominal stress number. An empirical formula was proposed to predict the nominal stress number considering the surface integrities. The prediction error was less than 7.53%, as verified by several gear-bending fatigue tests. This provided theoretical support for the modern, anti-fatigue design of the gears.
