Structural Behaviors of Reinforced Concrete Dome with Shell System under Vari...ijtsrd
There are many different systems constructing dome structure. Among them, the shell system is the most popular in reinforcement concrete structure in these days. Therefore, it is necessary to know the structural behaviours of it. The objectives of this journal is to study the structural behaviours of the reinforced concrete dome structure with shell system under gravity loading and lateral loading in cyclone wind categories and various seismic zones. Seismic loads are considered from zone 1 to zone 4 based on UBC 1997 .Wind loads are considered from I to V category as cyclone categories. Structural elements of RC dome structure are designed according to Building Code of American Concrete Institute ACI 318 99 . With these member forces obtained from the SAP 2000 analysis, the design for all structural members will be performed according to ACI 318 99. The members of dome structure are designed as an intermediate moment resisting frame. The design of the shell beams is verified by using hand calculations with the output forces under the gravity loading and lateral loading obtained from the SAP2000 analysis. Equivalent static analysis procedure is used in this study. Based on the comparison of analysis results, it can be observed where the maximum deflection occurs along the meridian direction under seismic and wind loading conditions. Then, the axial force of dome structure is significant than any other forces in shell system. From the study of analysis results of both systems, it has been noticed that the bottom ring in shell system is essential to control the forces from the shell area.

Cross Section Analysis And Design is a powerful application that can perform a wide range of cross section calculations, including the design of reinforced concrete sections. The given cross sections are built up of one or more geometric entities and can be drawn directly using the versatile featured user interface. The user can also import standard steel sections from a complete shape library according to all major codes (AISC, Australian-New Zealand, BS, Chinese, European, Indian, Aluminum etc.) There are no limitations regarding the shape, materials or loads of a section, since the program can handle any arbitrary cross section under biaxial bending and axial loads. Among its capabilities, Cross Section Analysis And Design can calculate all sectional properties, plot Moment – Curvature and Interaction diagrams, estimate the location of neutral axis under given sets of biaxial loads and plot the corresponding stress – strain diagrams as well as the resulting stress contours. The last -named items can also be calculated by providing the location of the neutral axis plane on the section. Moreover, the program fully complies with all major codes concerning reinforced concrete sections (AASHTO, UBC, AS 3600, IS 456, ACI 318, BS 8110, CSA A233, EC2, NZS 3101 and CP 65). The user can also perform a reinforcement design according to above listed codes, plot the matching interaction diagrams etc., or even check a given reinforcement amount for the specified load cases. The stress – strain curve of concrete, reinforcement and other materials is specified as per the defined Analysis Parameters Sets. Thus calculations can be performed for many design situations, such as Ultimate/Serviceability or custom defined Limit States, with an automatic adjustment of the material properties, safety factors etc. A large material library is also available according to almost all concrete/reinforcement material specifications. Apart from concrete and reinforcement materials, the user can specify custom linear, bilinear, trilinear parabolic or fully general materials.

Increasing life of spur gears with the help of finite element analysisijmech
The Focus of this research is on mathematical analysis of life of gears and reducing noise frequency of gears due to change of material from C-45 to 19mncr5. Calculations for gears life was done with the help of Lewis equation and Buckingham formula. Basically life of a gear is depending upon the stress, more the stress on gear lesser life of gear will be. In this paper some major condition to perform a gear without failure is achieved i.e. tangential force should be less than tangential load to sustain static load, dynamic
load should be less than endurance load to sustain dynamic load and wear load should be less than static
load to sustain wear load. After calculation of 19mncr5 material we evaluate that endurance load acting on the gear which is greater than the dynamic load so our gear come out be safe. Also this study shows declination of noise level in 19mncr5 material compare to C-45 material.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Stresses in Helical Springs
D = mean coil diameter
d = wire diameter
The maximum stress in the wire may be computed by superposition
of the direct shear stress and the torsional shear stress.

7. Slide 7 Design of springs
The Curvature Effect
The curvature of the wire increases the stress on the inside of the spring but
decreases it only slightly on the outside.
For static loading, these stresses can normally be neglected
Suppose Ks in Eq. (10–2) is replaced by another K factor, which corrects for
both curvature and direct shear. Then this factor is given by either of the equations :
The Wahl factor
the Bergsträsser factor
MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
8. Slide 8 Design of springs
The Curvature Effect
The curvature correction factor can now be obtained by canceling out the effect of
the direct shear. Thus, using Eq. (10–5) with Eq. (10–3), the curvature correction
factor is found to be
Now, Ks , KB or KW , and Kc are simply stress-correction factors applied
multiplicatively to Tr/J at the critical location to estimate a particular stress.
There is no stress concentration factor. In this chapter we will use
to predict the largest shear stress.

9. Slide 9 Design of springs
Deflection of Helical Springs
The deflection-force relations are quite easily obtained by using Castigliano’s
theorem. The total strain energy for a helical spring is composed of a
torsional component and a shear component.
Substituting T = FD/2, l = πDN, J = πd4/32, and A = πd2/4 results in

10. Slide 10 Design of springs
Deflection of Helical Springs
Since C = D/d, Eq. (c) can be rearranged to yield
where N = Na = number of active coils. Then using Castigliano’s theorem,
to find total deflection y gives
The spring rate, also called the scale of the spring, is k = F/y, and so

spring length. Note that the digits 0, 1, 2, and 3 appearing in Table 10–1 are often

13. Slide 13 Design of springs
Stability
The compression coil springs may buckle when the deflection becomes too
large. The critical deflection is given by the equation:
Where:
The quantity λeff in Eq. (10–10) is the effective slenderness ratio and is given by
the equation
ycr is the deflection corresponding to the onset of instability.
C’1 and C’2 are elastic constants defined by the equations
MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
14. Slide 14 Design of springs
Stability
Equation (10–11) contains the end-condition constant α. This depends upon how
the ends of the spring are supported. Table 10–2 gives values of α for usual end
conditions.
Absolute stability occurs when, in Eq. (10–10), the term C’2/λ2
eff is greater than
unity. This means that the condition for absolute stability is that
For steels, this turns out to be
For squared and ground ends α = 0.5 and L0 < 5.26D.
MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
15. Slide 15 Design of springs
Spring Materials
Springs are manufactured either by hot- or cold-working processes, depending
upon the size of the material, the spring index, and the properties desired.
In general, prehardened wire should not be used if D/d < 4 or if d > 6.35 mm.
A great variety of spring materials are available to the designer, including plain
carbon steels, alloy steels, and corrosion-resisting steels, as well as nonferrous
materials such as phosphor bronze, spring brass, beryllium copper, and various
nickel alloys.
Spring materials may be compared by an examination of their tensile strengths;
these vary so much with wire size that they cannot be specified until the wire
size is known.
It turns out that the graph of tensile strength versus wire diameter is almost
a straight line for some materials when plotted on log-log paper. Writing the
equation of this line as
MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
16. Slide 16 Design of springs
Spring Materials
furnishes a good means of estimating minimum tensile strengths when the
intercept A and the slope m of the line are known. Values of these constants have
been worked out from recent data and are given for strengths in units of kpsi and
MPa in Table 10–4. In Eq. (10–14) when d is measured in millimeters, then A is in
MPa·mmm and when d is measured in inches, then A is in kpsi·inm.
Although the torsional yield strength is needed to design the spring and to
analyze the performance, spring materials customarily are tested only for
tensile strength perhaps because it is such an easy and economical test to
make. A very rough estimate of the torsional yield strength can be obtained by
assuming that the tensile yield strength is between 60 and 90 percent of the
tensile strength. Then the distortion-energy theory can be employed to obtain
the torsional yield strength (Sys = 0.577Sy). This approach results in the range
for steels.

22. Helical Compression Spring Design for Static Service
Slide 22 Design of springs
The preferred range of spring index is 4 ≤ C ≤ 12, with the lower indexes being
more difficult to form (because of the danger of surface cracking) and springs
with higher indexes tending to tangle often enough to require individual packing.
The recommended range of active turns is 3 ≤ Na ≤ 15.
The designer confines the spring’s operating point to the central 75 percent of
the curve between no load, F = 0, and closure, F = Fs . Thus, the maximum
operating force should be limited to 𝐹𝑚𝑎𝑥 ≤

Helical Compression Spring Design for Static Service
In addition to the relationships and material properties for springs, we now have
some recommended design conditions to follow, namely:
where ns is the factor of safety at closure (solid height).
When considering designing a spring for high volume production, the figure of
merit (fom) can be the cost of the wire from which the spring is wound. The fom
would be proportional to the relative material cost, weight density, and volume:
MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
24. Slide 24 Design of springs
Critical Frequency of Helical Springs
If a wave is created by a disturbance at one end of a swimming pool, this wave
will travel down the length of the pool, be reflected back at the far end, and
continue in this back-and-forth motion until it is finally damped out. The same
effect occurs in helical springs, and it is called spring surge.
When helical springs are used in applications requiring a rapid reciprocating
motion, the designer must be certain that the physical dimensions of the spring
are not such as to create a natural vibratory frequency close to the frequency of
the applied force; otherwise, resonance may occur, resulting in damaging
stresses, since the internal damping of spring materials is quite low.
The governing equation for the translational vibration of a spring is the wave
equation
where k = spring rate
g = acceleration due to gravity
l = length of spring
W = weight of spring
x = coordinate along length of spring
u = motion of any particle at distance x
MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
25. Slide 25 Design of springs
Critical Frequency of Helical Springs
The solution to this equation is harmonic and depends on the given physical
properties as well as the end conditions of the spring. The harmonic, natural,
frequencies for a spring placed between two flat and parallel plates, in radians
per second, are
where the fundamental frequency is found for m = 1, the second harmonic for
m = 2, and so on. We are usually interested in the frequency in cycles per
second; since ω = 2π f , we have, for the fundamental frequency in hertz,
assuming the spring ends are always in contact with the plates. Wolford and
Smith show that the frequency is
The weight of the active part of a helical spring is
MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
26. Slide 26 Design of springs
Fatigue Loading of Helical Compression Springs
Springs are almost always subject to fatigue loading. In many instances
the number of cycles of required life may be small, say, several thousand
for a padlock spring or a toggle-switch spring. But the valve spring of an
automotive engine must sustain millions of cycles of operation without
failure; so it must be designed for infinite life.
To improve the fatigue strength of dynamically loaded springs, shot
peening can be used. It can increase the torsional fatigue strength by 20
percent or more. Shot size is about 0.4 mm, so spring coil wire diameter
and pitch must allow for complete coverage of the spring surface.
MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
27. Slide 27 Design of springs
Fatigue Loading of Helical Compression Springs
The best data on the torsional endurance limits of spring steels are those
reported by Zimmerli. He discovered the surprising fact that size, material,
and tensile strength have no effect on the endurance limits (infinite life only)
of spring steels in sizes under 10 mm.
Endurance limits tend to level out at high tensile strengths, but the reason for
this is not clear. Zimmerli suggests that it may be because the original
surfaces are alike or because plastic flow during testing makes them the
same.
Unpeened springs were tested from a minimum torsional stress of 138 MPa
to a maximum of 620 MPa and peened springs in the range 138 MPa to 930
MPa . The corresponding endurance strength components for infinite life
were found to be
Unpeened:
Ssa = 241 MPa Ssm = 379 MPa (10–28)
Peened:
Ssa = 398 MPa Ssm = 534 MPa (10–29)

28. Slide 28 Design of springs
Fatigue Loading of Helical Compression Springs
In the case of shafts and many other machine members, fatigue loading in the
form of completely reversed stresses is quite ordinary. Helical springs, on the
other hand, are never used as both compression and extension springs. In fact,
they are usually assembled with a preload so that the working load is additional.
The worst condition, would occur when there is no preload, that is, when τmin = 0.
Now, we define
The shear stress amplitude is
The midrange shear stress is given by the equation
MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
29. Slide 29 Design of springs
Extension Springs
Extension springs differ from compression springs in that they carry tensile
loading, they require some means of transferring the load from the support to
the body of the spring, and the spring body is wound with an initial tension. The
load transfer can be done with a threaded plug or a swivel hook; both of these
add to the cost of the finished product.
Stresses in the body of the extension spring are handled the same as
compression springs. In designing a spring with a hook end, bending and
torsion in the hook

31. When extension springs are made with coils in contact with one another, they
are said to be close-wound. Spring manufacturers prefer some initial tension in
close-wound springs in order to hold the free length more accurately. The
corresponding load deflection curve is shown in Fig. 10–7a, where y is the
extension beyond the free length
Extension Springs
Slide 31 Design of springs MPE 209 - Dr Mohamed Elfarran
32. Helical Coil Torsion Springs
Slide 32 Design of springs
When a helical coil spring is subjected to end torsion, it is called a torsion spring.
It is usually close-wound, as is a helical coil extension spring, but with negligible
initial tension.
There are single-bodied and double-bodied types as depicted in Fig. 10–8. As
shown in the figure, torsion springs have ends configured to apply torsion to the
coil body in a convenient manner, with short hook, hinged straight offset,
straight torsion, and special ends.
