One of the major concerns in using these equations is evaluating their accuracy in different conditions and regions which often lead to doubts about obtained results. Most of these equations were derived in special laboratories, different climate conditions and in soils with different geotechnical and geological engineering properties and were generalized to other conditions. The main question is that whether these methods are also applicable to other conditions. Using local equations and narrowing the usage range of various methods based on each region’s properties are appropriate methods to solve these problems. This leads to simplified and faster analysis and high reliability in the obtained results. In this paper, empirical equations were derived to estimate internal friction angle, based on SPT numbers of Mashhad City’s soils in Iran, using SPT and direct shear tests results from 50 samples (25 GW and 25 GC soil samples). The results showed similar values for predicted?φ?values by SPT test and?φ?values determined by direct shear tests.展开更多

In the range of our tested strain amplitudes, whether the strain amplitude is increasing or decreasing, the strain amplitude-dependent IF curve can be divided into two stages: one is the strain amplitude weakly dependent part and the other is the strain amplitude strongly dependent part. However, after several cyclic vibrations, the IF values measured during the strain amplitude increasing are smaller than those obtained during the strain amplitude decreasing. The phenomenon is also observed at 100 C. Partial dislocations generate a short-range slip under the cyclic stress to be responsible for it.展开更多

Based on theor...A numerical study to a generalized Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is adopted to model the propagation and disintegration of large-amplitude internal solitary waves (ISWs) in the South China Sea (SCS). Based on theoretical analysis and in situ measurements, the drag coefficient of the Chezy friction is regarded as inversely proportional to the initial amplitude of an ISW, rather than a constant as assumed in the previous studies. Numerical simulations of ISWs propagating from a deep basin to a continental shelf are performed with the generalized KdV model. It is found that the depression waves are disintegrated into several solitons on the continental shelf due to the variable topography. It turns out that the amplitude of the leading ISW reaches a maximum at the shelf break, which is consistent with the field observation in the SCS.Moreover, a dimensionless parameter defining the relative importance of the variable topography and friction is presented.展开更多

The idea behind this work is a question: is the friction angle really that fundamental and obvious physical parameter which rules stability and motion of granular media as it seems from most works which deal with particle dynamics? The experimental study tries to answer this question with a series of laboratory tests, in which different natural and artificial granular materials have been investigated in dry condition by means of a tilting flume. The characteristic friction angles, both in deposition(repose) and stability limit(critical) conditions, were measured and checked against size, shape, density and roughness of the considered granular material. The flume tests have been preferred to "classical" geotechnical apparatuses(e.g. shear box) since the flume experimental conditions appear closer to the natural ones of many situations of slope stability interest(e.g. a scree slope). The results reveal that characteristic friction angles depend on size and shape of grains while mixtures of granules of different size show some sorting mechanism with less clear behaviour.展开更多

It is found that there is an obvious Snoek-Kê-Koester (SKK) peak in both steels, and still exists a measurable deformation-enhanced Shock peak(DESP) in the specimens of the BNbRE steel. The internal frictions in the deformed specimens of the both steel rails were also measured. Unlike the case of the tread specimens showing a decrease of SKK damping due to deformation, the SKK damping of the rail waist specimens increases after deformation; and the specimens containing rare earth(RE) show more noticeable damping increase than those without RE. The results of the internal friction measured during ascending and descending temperature under 700℃ show that there is a high temperature damping which can be completely disappeared during descending temperature for both steels.展开更多

The laminate designed for required aforesaid functions was actually a composite material, which was made of two anti corrosive layers (Al), two damping layers (ZnAl alloy) and one reinforcing layer (AlMg alloy) by hot rolling. The damping characteristics were studied and it was found that there was an internal friction peak at about 50 ℃ on internal fraction vs temperature curve for the laminate. For this reason, the activation energy of the peak was calculated. The origin and damping mechanism for this peak was researched by means of SEM, TEM, X ray and DSC. It is considered that the peak is caused by the interaction between dislocations and point defects in damping layers (AlZn alloy). i.e. by the movement of dislocations dragging point defects under the action of thermal activation. The laminate is remained at room temperature for a long time, it will weaken or even disappear with the restoration of the crystal microstructure and the reduction of the dislocation density in the ZnAl alloy layers. The mechanism of the peak is in conformity with that of the dislocation induced damping. [展开更多

文摘An investigation on strain amplitude-dependent internal friction (IF) of an as-cast high damping Mg-7 wt% Ni alloy was carried out. In the range of our tested strain amplitudes, whether the strain amplitude is increasing or decreasing, the strain amplitude-dependent IF curve can be divided into two stages: one is the strain amplitude weakly dependent part and the other is the strain amplitude strongly dependent part. However, after several cyclic vibrations, the IF values measured during the strain amplitude increasing are smaller than those obtained during the strain amplitude decreasing. The phenomenon is also observed at 100 C. Partial dislocations generate a short-range slip under the cyclic stress to be responsible for it.

文摘By modifying friction to the desired level,the application of friction modifiers(FMs)has been considered as a promising emerging tool in the railway engineering for increasing braking/traction force in poor adhesion conditions and mitigating wheel/rail interface deterioration,energy consumption,vibration and noise.Understanding the effectiveness of FMs in wheel–rail dynamic interactions is crucial to their proper applications in practice,which has,however,not been well explained.This study experimentally investigates the effects of two types of top-of-rail FM,i.e.FM-A and FM-B,and their application dosages on wheel–rail dynamic interactions with a range of angles of attack(AoAs)using an innovative well-controlled V-track test rig.The tested FMs have been used to provide intermediate friction for wear and noise reduction.The effectiveness of the FMs is assessed in terms of the wheel–rail adhesion characteristics and friction rolling induced axle box acceleration(ABA).This study provides the following new insights into the study of FM:the applications of the tested FMs can both reduce the wheel–rail adhesion level and change the negative friction characteristic to positive;stick–slip can be generated in the V-Track and eliminated by FM-A but intensified by FM-B,depending on the dosage of the FMs applied;the negative friction characteristic is not a must for stick–slip;the increase in ABA with AoA is insignificant until stick–slip occurs and the ABA can thus be influenced by the applications of FM.
文摘The effect of precipitation on the internal friction(IF)of AZ91 magnesium alloy was investigated by using X-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis,scanning electron microscope(SEM)observation,and dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA).Six different states of alloy were prepared by applying different heat treatment processes:as-cast,in-complete solid solution,complete solid solution,micro-precipitation,continuous precipitation and continuous-discontinuous precipitation.It was found that the internal friction of in-completely solid-solutionized,completely solid-solutionized and micro-precipitated specimens showed a similar characteristic,and the grain boundary relaxation is completed depressed due to the Al atoms supersaturated in theα-Mg solution.However,a thermal relaxation internal friction peak was observed for continuously precipitated and continuously-discontinuously precipitated specimens at around 438 K and frequency of about 1 Hz,which was attributed to the grain boundaries relaxation.Furthermore,it was found that the relaxation of theβ-Mg17Al12/α-Mg phase interfaces should give its contribution to the background internal friction in the as-cast,continuously precipitated and continuously-discontinuously precipitated specimens.
文摘The grain boundary internal friction(GBIF)in Fe-P and Fe-P-La alloys containing trace Cu has been studied.It is found that an addition of 0.584—0.722 wt-% La obviously reduces the IF,shifts grain boundary peaks towards higher temperatures,and produces a small addi- tional peak at even higher temperature.The mechanism of GBIF is explained as the movement of defects of atomic size,namely point defects,at gram boundaries and/or their clusters un- der stress.
文摘A new aluminium alloy laminate characterized by high damping, corrosion resistance and weldablity was developed. The laminate designed for required aforesaid functions was actually a composite material, which was made of two anti corrosive layers (Al), two damping layers (ZnAl alloy) and one reinforcing layer (AlMg alloy) by hot rolling. The damping characteristics were studied and it was found that there was an internal friction peak at about 50 ℃ on internal fraction vs temperature curve for the laminate. For this reason, the activation energy of the peak was calculated. The origin and damping mechanism for this peak was researched by means of SEM, TEM, X ray and DSC. It is considered that the peak is caused by the interaction between dislocations and point defects in damping layers (AlZn alloy). i.e. by the movement of dislocations dragging point defects under the action of thermal activation. The laminate is remained at room temperature for a long time, it will weaken or even disappear with the restoration of the crystal microstructure and the reduction of the dislocation density in the ZnAl alloy layers. The mechanism of the peak is in conformity with that of the dislocation induced damping. [
文摘The influence of longitudinal and torsional bias stresses on anomalous amplitude-dependent internal friction was studied.The longitudinal bias stress may always weaken the anomalous amplitude-dependent effect,while the torsional one may induce different effects from differ- ent directions applied.Bias stress effect exhibits only in properly heat treated and cold worked ahoy specimens.The anomalous amplitude-dependent internal friction peaks,P_3,P_2 and P_1, are found to be related closely to slant dislocation kink chains.Thus,the application of bias stress to internal friction would be contributed to the study on dislocation structure.
