Web strength of rolled steel joistsGuy, Reynold Graham January 1977 (has links)
This work is concerned with the behaviour of thin webbed rolled steel joists or universal beams when they are subjected to concentrated loads applied to the flanges. The prime concern is the effect of high direct stresses causing web failure in a small region of the beam. The review shows that although many tests have been carried out on rolled steel beams and built up girders, no series of tests has restricted the number of variables involved to enable firm conclusions to be drawn. The results of 100 tests on several different rolled steel universal beam sections having various types of loading conditions are presented. The majority of the beams are tested by loading with two opposite loads, thus eliminating the effects of bending and shear, except for a small number of beams which are tested s.imply supported on varying spans. The test results are first compared with the present design standard CBS 449) and it is shown that the British Standard is very conservative for most of the loading conditions included in the tests but is unsafe for others. Three possible failure modes are then considered, overall elastic buckling of the web, flexural yielding of the web due to large out of plane deflexions and local crushing of the material at the junction of the web and the root fillets. Each mode is considered theoretically and developed to establish the main variables, thus enabling a comparison to be made with the test results. It is shown that all three failure modes have a particular relevance for individual loading conditions, but that determining tpe failure load given the beam size and the loading conditions is very difficult in certain instances. Finally it is shown that there are some empirical relationships between the failure loads and the type of loading for various beam serial sizes.

Development of the epoxy composite complex permittivity and its application in wind turbine bladesHu, Dawei January 2010 (has links)
Offshore wind farm structures may have the potential to affect marine navigation and communication systems by reflecting radar signals. With ever increasing size of wind turbines it is necessary to better understand the influence of radar signals on wind turbine blades in order to minimise the radar reflecting potential. One possible way of reducing radar reflection is to use radar absorbing materials. In this thesis, epoxy composite materials reinforced with five different types of nano-size additives: carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon blacks (CBs), silver, tungsten carbide and titanium oxide are manufactured and tested to investigated their potential as wind turbine blade material that absorb radar signals. Nanoadditives/epoxy composites with additives content ranging from 0.05-1 wt. % were fabricated by a simple cast moulding process. The nanoadditives were dispersed in the epoxy resin by sonication method. The degree of nanoadditives dispersion was observed by examining the surface of the composite materials using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Complex permittivity of the nanoadditives/epoxy composites was studied using a free wave transmittance only method at a frequency range of 6.5-10.5 GHz. The effect of the percolation threshold of the direct current conductivity on the composite permittivity was analysed and discussion. In order to get a better insight in the importance of the results they were compared to existing models (Maxwell- Garnett, Bruggeman, Bottcher, Lichtenecker and Lichtenecker-Rother). A new model based rule of mixtures is developed to predict the complex permittivity of the composite. A model of wind turbine rotor blade made of the nanoadditives/epoxy composite was developed using Comsol-multiphysics software. The data obtained from the experimental work was inputted in to the model to generate result of backscattered energy verses composite permittivity as a function of nanoadditives content. A decrease in backscattered energy was noticed with increasing nanoadditives content. The results demonstrate that radar reflecting signals will be significantly reduced by incorporating nanoadditives in the composite materials.
