... The occurrence of distortions within facade elements in the form of leaning, bowed and vertically displaced wall construction is common in older structures. Quite often these conditions are identified by building owners and serve as the primary focus of investigations to assess...

... Distortion of bearing steel components after hardening has a major influence on the total manufacturing cost of bearings. This publication presents results and experiences of recent investigations regarding possible causes for the distortion of bearing rings. It does not consider the influence...

... Environmental issues are becoming increasingly important as the costs of waste disposal increase and global climate effects of petroleum product usage become more evident. A major problem in the manufacturing of bearing components today is the distortion generated in the heat treatment quenching...

... the evolution of the residual stresses and the distortion is considered during the full heat treatment cycle including heating and cooling. These latter simulations focus on the behaviour of full components. Special interest is devoted to origins of out of roundness of bearing rings. Factors like original...

... that induced axisymmetric distortion. Hydraulic conductivity increased with the increase in flexural stresses. Sensitivity to plasticity and compaction moisture content was observed. Tests were also conducted to obtain mechanical properties, including tensile strength (split-cylinder), unconfined compressive...

... have some similarities in evaluating the strain and rupture. However, because of the two cycle nature of the Repetitive Pulse condition, the thresholds are demonstrably lower than those that are shown for the Continuous Wave situation. Optics Transient Heat Transfer Faceplates Distortion...

... and erosion effects are highly significant for polymeric composites. The effects of shock layer breakup, acceleration, deflection, and deformation of the droplets have been quantitatively assessed, and damage gradients in materials are shown to be a function of primarily droplet distortion and breakup...
