Effect of temperature and compression on the mechanical behavior of steam-treated wood

The mechanical behavior of steamed spruce wood changes dramatically with compression along the grain, the change being much more moderate perpendicular to the grain. The stiffness decrement due to increased temperature is greatest in the tangential material direction. The stiffness decrement due to compression is greatest along the grain. Compression to 80% compressive strain at 131°C inverts the order of the material directions regarding stiffness, the stiffness being the least along the grain. Plastic strain due to compression is greater at higher temperatures. The compression-induced decrement of stiffness along the grain is greater at higher temperatures, but the off-axis decrement of stiffness is less at higher temperatures.     

Estimation of shear moduli of wood by quasi-simple shear tests

A quasi-simple shear test, which is the most direct method for examining the shear properties of sheet metals, has been applied to measure the shear moduli of wood. Buna (Fagus crenata Blume) with variously sized shear regions was used for the test specimens. Strain gauges were mounted in the center of the shear regions to measure the shear strains. The shear tests were carried out to determine the shear moduli in the radial and tangential planes. Apparent shear moduli obtained from the experimental results were corrected by finite element method (FEM) simulation of the shear region, where both shearing and bending are produced. It was found that the corrected shear moduli are roughly independent of test conditions, and their values are in good agreement with the data obtained from bending-shear tests. This suggests that the method employed here can effectively estimate the shear moduli of wood.Part of this research was presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the Society of Materials Science, Osaka, May 2001     

引水渠道口门泥沙淤积计算

引水渠是一种常见的河道分流形式，由于主河道与引水渠之间往往有一定的夹角，水流从分汊前主河道流入引水渠时必然在一定的范围内发生一定程度的弯曲，其结果是有利于较多较粗的泥沙分入引水渠，导致渠道口门产生较为严重的淤积现象，而渠道口门淤积问题是决定引水工程是否成败的主要因素之一，通过一维非恒定流水沙沙数学模型，研究了不同水沙条件下引江济汉工程引水渠道口门泥沙淤积厚度变化规律，并分析了糙率对口门淤积厚度的影响情况，模型的计算结果与水流运动规律相吻合，可以为渠道引水防沙设计提供技术支持。

京杭运河底泥起动和冲刷率试验研究

京杭运河是南水北调东线工程的重要输水通道,减少底泥冲刷引起的污染对保护其水质有重要的作用。利用文献中的底泥起动流速公式和冲刷率公式,推导出起动摩阻流速与湿密度公式、摩阻流速与冲刷率公式。以京杭运河底泥在水槽内进行不同湿密度的起动试验和不同水流条件下的冲刷率试验。试验结果用最小二乘法进行拟合,得到底泥起动时临界起动摩阻流速与湿密度的相关关系,冲刷时摩阻流速与冲刷率的相关关系。结果表明,有关试验数据的相关性较好,对实际工程应用有一定的指导意义。     

Effect of drying on soil strength and corn emergence

Summary Laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of drying on soil strength and corn emergence (Zea mays L.). Corn was germinated in Billings silty clay under a bank of heat lamps which operated 9, 14, 19, or 24 h per day. Soil strength (modules of rupture), soil moisture content and emergence were measured daily.The relationship of soil strength to corn seedling emergence as influenced by the four light and heat durations and bare and mulched soil surfaces was determined. As soil strength increased emergence decreased until it ceased at soil strengths of about 80 kPa. Strength of this soil had a high negative correlation with soil water content and increased with time. Mulching decreased initial rate of drying, decreased crust strength, and improved corn emergence. The 14-hour light and heat treatment resulted in the highest corn emergence.Contribution from Colorado State Experiment Station, USDA-ARS Snake River Conservation Research Center, and USDA-ARS Fort Collins, respectively
