A Unified and Mechanistic Approach to Creep-Fatigue Damage (open access)

A Unified and Mechanistic Approach to Creep-Fatigue Damage

A new creep-fatigue equation is proposed that takes into account both plastic strain and strain rate. The coefficients and exponents in the damage-rate equation are interpreted by means of the various damage mechanisms of the material. The damage-rate equation has been integrated to analyze various phenomena such as the effects of plastic strain rate on monotonic tensile or creep rupture time, rising mean strain on the low-cycle fatigue behavior at elevated temperature, tensile and compressive hold times on the low-cycle fatigue life at elevated temperature, and cyclic creep. The proposed approach has been successfully applied to elevated-temperature data generated at Argonne National Laboratory and elsewhere for Type 304 austenitic stainless steel under various monotonic and cyclic-loading conditions.

NNWSI Phase II Materials Interaction Test Procedure and Preliminary Results (open access)

NNWSI Phase II Materials Interaction Test Procedure and Preliminary Results

The Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) project is investigating the volcanic tuff beds of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a potential location for a high-level radioactive waste repository. This report describes a test method (Phase II) that has been developed to measure the release of radionuclides from the waste package under simulated repository conditions, and provides information on materials interactions that may occur in the repository. The results of 13 weeks of testing using the method are presented, and an analog test is described that investigates the relationship between the test method and expected repository conditions.

Linear Algebra on High-Performance Computers (open access)

Linear Algebra on High-Performance Computers

This paper surveys work recently done at Argonne National Laboratory in an attempt to discover ways to construct numerical software for high-performance computers. The numerical algorithms are taken from several areas of numerical linear algebra. Discussion of certain architectural features of advanced-computer architectures that will affect the design of algorithms. The technique of restructuring algorithms in terms of certain modules is reviewed. This technique has proved successful in obtaining a high level of transportability without severe loss of performance on a wide variety of both vector and parallel computers.

Leakage Flow-Induced Vibrations for Variations of a Tube-in-Tube Slip Joint (open access)

Leakage Flow-Induced Vibrations for Variations of a Tube-in-Tube Slip Joint

Variations in the design of a specific slip joint separating two cantilevered, telescoping tubes conveying water were studied to determine their effect upon the leakage flow-induced vibration self-excitation mechanism known to exist for the original slip joint geometry. The important parameters controlling the self-excitation mechanism were identified, which, along with previous results, allowed the determination of a comprehensive set of design rules to avoid unstable vibrations. This was possible even though a new self-excitation mechanism was found when the engagement of the two tubes was small.

The Unsteady Lift of a Finite Wing (open access)

The Unsteady Lift of a Finite Wing

Note discussing the lift of a finite wing including the calculations and constants for each step of the lift. This information is compared against the lift of an infinite wing. From Summary: "Unsteady lift function for wings of finite aspect ratio have been calculated by approximate methods involving corrections of the aerodynamic inertia and of the angle of the infinite wing. The starting lift of the finite wing is found to be only slightly less than that of the infinite wing; whereas the final lift may be considerably less. The calculations indicate that the distribution of lift near the start is similar to the final distribution."
