The applicability of the correlations to pipeline-riser flow needs evaluation since the flow condition in pipeline-riser is quite different from the original data where they were derived from. In the present study, a comprehensive evaluation of 24prevailing correlation in predicting frictional pressure drop is carried out based on experimentally measured data of air-water and air-oil two-phase flows in pipeline-riser. Experiments are performed in a system having different configuration of pipeline-riser with the inclination of the downcomer varied from-2°to-5°to investigated the effect of the elbow on the frictional pressure drop in the riser. The inlet gas velocity ranges from 0.03 to 6.2 m/s, and liquid velocity varies from 0.02 to 1.3 m/s. A total of885 experimental data points including 782 on air-water flows and 103 on air-oil flows are obtained and used to access the prediction ability of the correlations. Comparison of the predicted results with the measured data indicate that a majority of the investigated correlations under-predict the pressure drop on severe slugging. The result of this study highlights the requirement of new method considering the effect of pipe layout on the frictional pressure drop.展开更多

文摘Rock avalanches frequently lead to catastrophic consequences due to their unpredictably high mobility.Numerous researchers have studied the shear behavior of granular materials under various conditions,attributing the high mobility to ultralow resistance.However,the underlying physical mechanism of frictional weakening remains unclear.This study utilizes the discrete element method(DEM)incorporating the fragment replacement model to simulate plane shear flows under various normal stresses(0.2 e1.2 MPa)and shear velocities(0.01e2 m/s).The findings reveal a localized shear band characterized by a J-shaped velocity profile and high granular temperature,and a concentrated distribution of weak contact forces forms at a shear velocity exceeding 0.1 m/s and normal stress above 0.6 MPa.Moreover,frictional weakening is observed with increasing normal stress from 0.2 MPa to 1.2 MPa and increasing shear velocity from 0.1 m/s to 2 m/s.The evolution of the steady-state friction coefficient can be divided into two stages:an initial stage(I)and a weakening stage(II).During stage I,the steady-state friction coefficient slightly increases until reaching a peak value.However,upon entering stage II,it gradually decreases and approaches an ultimate value.The velocity-and normal stress-dependent frictional weakening can be attributed to shear localization and embedded packing structure induced by particle breakage,respectively.Finally,an optimized m(I)model is proposed to capture the full evolution of the friction coefficient with the shear strain rate,which can improve our understanding of rock avalanche dynamics.

文摘The injection of large volumes of natural gas into geological formations,as is required for underground gas storage,leads to alterations in the effective stress exerted on adjacent faults.This increases the potential for their reactivation and subsequent earthquake triggering.Most measurements of the frictional properties of rock fractures have been conducted under normal and shear stresses.However,faults in gas storage facilities exist within a true three-dimensional(3D)stress state.A double-direct shear experiment on rock fractures under both lateral and normal stresses was conducted using a true triaxial loading system.It was observed that the friction coefficient increases with increasing lateral stress,but decreases with increasing normal stress.The impact of lateral and normal stresses on the response is primarily mediated through their influence on the initial friction coefficient.This allows for an empirical modification of the rate-state friction model that considers the influence of lateral and normal stresses.The impact of lateral and normal stresses on observed friction coefficients is related to the propensity for the production of wear products on the fracture surfaces.Lateral stresses enhance the shear strength of rock(e.g.Mogi criterion).This reduces asperity breakage and the generation of wear products,and consequently augments the friction coefficient of the surface.Conversely,increased normal stresses inhibit dilatancy on the fracture surface,increasing the breakage of asperities and the concomitant production of wear products that promote rolling deformation.This ultimately reduces the friction coefficient.

文摘Accurate prediction of the frictional pressure drop is important for the design and operation of subsea oil and gas transporting system considering the length of the pipeline. The applicability of the correlations to pipeline-riser flow needs evaluation since the flow condition in pipeline-riser is quite different from the original data where they were derived from. In the present study, a comprehensive evaluation of 24prevailing correlation in predicting frictional pressure drop is carried out based on experimentally measured data of air-water and air-oil two-phase flows in pipeline-riser. Experiments are performed in a system having different configuration of pipeline-riser with the inclination of the downcomer varied from-2°to-5°to investigated the effect of the elbow on the frictional pressure drop in the riser. The inlet gas velocity ranges from 0.03 to 6.2 m/s, and liquid velocity varies from 0.02 to 1.3 m/s. A total of885 experimental data points including 782 on air-water flows and 103 on air-oil flows are obtained and used to access the prediction ability of the correlations. Comparison of the predicted results with the measured data indicate that a majority of the investigated correlations under-predict the pressure drop on severe slugging. The result of this study highlights the requirement of new method considering the effect of pipe layout on the frictional pressure drop.

文摘Understanding the mechanical and transport behavior of thin(i.e.small aperture)cracks slipping under supercritical carbon dioxide(sc-CO_(2))conditions is essential to evaluate the integrity of sealing formations with buoyant sc-CO_(2)below and the success of waterless fracturing.The two major items of interest in this work are frictional strength and permeability change of the crack.We used a triaxial cell that permits in situ visualization to conduct and monitor slippage along the faces of narrow cracks subjected to triaxial stresses.Such cracks are analogs to small geological faults.We tested carbonate-rich,1-inch diameter Wolfcamp shale samples that are saw cut 30to vertical to create a thin crack.Friction coefficients ranged from about 0.6 to 0.8 consistent with expectations for brittle rocks.The sc-CO_(2)generally did not alter friction coefficient over the time scale of experiments.From a transport perspective,saturating cracks with sc-CO_(2)substantially decreased permeability of the crack by 26%e52%,while slip resulted in a variety of permeability responses.Overall,the combined impact of sc-CO_(2)saturation and slip reduced fault permeability for all tests.Our observations support the notion that the sealing capacity of some caprocks improves when saturated with sc-CO_(2)and that some slip of small fractures is not necessarily detrimental to caprock integrity.

文摘This paper presents a finite element framework for imposing frictional contact conditions on embedded fracture faces,implemented by the constant-strain assumed enhanced strain(AES)method,where penalty method is used to impose both non-penetration constraint and Coulomb’s law of friction.The proposed constant-strain AES method for modeling embedded frictional contact can be cast into an integration algorithm similar to those used in the classical plasticity theory,where displacement jump is calculated from the local traction equilibrium at Gauss point,so the method does not introduce any additional global degrees of freedom.Moreover,constant-strain elements are often desirable in practice because they can be easily created automatically for large-scale engineering applications with complicated geometries.As encountered in other enriched finite element methods for frictional contact,the problem of normal contact pressure oscillations is also observed in the constant-strain AES method.Therefore,we developed a strain-smoothing procedure to effectively mitigate the oscillations.We investigated and verified the proposed AES framework through several numerical examples,and illustrated the capability of this method in solving challenging nonlinear frictional contact problems.
文摘In this paper,a frictional contact problem between an electro-elastic body and an electrically conductive foundation is studied.The contact is modeled by normal compliance with finite penetration and a version of Coulomb’s law of dry friction in which the coefficient of friction depends on the slip.In addition,the effects of the electrical conductivity of the foundation are taken into account.This model leads to a coupled system of the quasi-variational inequality of the elliptic type for the displacement and the nonlinear variational equation for the electric potential.The existence of a weak solution is proved by using an abstract result for elliptic variational inequalities and a fixed point argument.Then,a finite element approximation of the problem is presented.Under some regularity conditions,an optimal order error estimate of the approximate solution is derived.Finally,a successive iteration technique is used to solve the problem numerically and a convergence result is established.

文摘This investigation focuses on the under-damped Brownian transport of a dimer characterized by two harmonically interacting components.The friction coefficients between the dimer components are different;thus the dynamic symmetry of the system is broken.In addition,the inertial ratchets are synchronously modulated by the feedback control protocol in time.Here,we analyze the transport performance by studying the average velocity and energy conversion efficiency of the dimer induced by friction symmetry breaking and external forces.Furthermore,we can also identify the enhancement of the centre-of-mass mean velocity and energy conversion efficiency of inertial frictional ratchets for intermediate values of the driving amplitude,coupling strength and damping force.Remarkably,in the weak bias case,the directed transport of inertial Brownian particles can be reversed twice by modulating the suitable friction of the dimer.In particular,the frictional ratchets can acquire a series of resonant steps under the influence of harmonic force.These conclusions of reliable transport in noisy environments are expected to provide insights into the performance of natural molecular motors.

文摘A theoretical model is developed to investigate the sliding electrical contact behavior with the consideration of the electrical-thermal–mechanical coupling effect.The interfacial electrical resistance and electrical constriction resistance are both involved.The Joule heating due to electrical contact resistance and the frictional energy dissipation are considered in the model for the assessment of the temperature rise at the contact interface.A singular integral equation for sliding electrical contact considering both frictional and Joule heat is developed and solved to obtain the contact pressure,current density,and temperature rise.Furthermore,a discrete fast Fourier transform-based boundary element method is applied to obtain the numerical solution of sliding electrical contact.Good agreement is achieved between theoretical and numerical results.After the validation,the effects of potential drop and sliding velocity on sliding electrical contact behavior are investigated.The results indicate that the proposed theoretical model can provide an exact prediction of multi-physics sliding electrical contact behavior.

文摘Friction stir lap welding of AA2195 Al-Li alloy and Ti alloy was conducted to investigate the formation,microstructure,and mechanical properties of the joints.Results show that under different welding parameters,with the decrease in welding heat input,the weld surface is smoother.The Ti/Al joint interface is flat without obvious Ti and Al mixed structure,and the hook structure is not formed under optimal parameters.Due to the enhanced breaking effect of the stirring head,the hook structural defects and intermetallic compounds are more likely to form at the Ti/Al interface at high rotational speed of 1000 r/min,thereby deteriorating the mechanical properties of joints.Decreasing the heat input is beneficial to hardness enhancement of the aluminum alloy in the weld nugget zone.Under the optimal parameters of rotation speed of 800 r/min and welding speed of 120 mm/min,the maximum tensile shear strength of joint is 289 N/mm.

文摘The composite structures/components made by friction stir lap welding(FSLW)of Mg alloy sheet and Al alloy sheet are of wide application potentials in the manufacturing sector of transportation vehicles.To further improve the joint quality,the ultrasonic vibration(UV)is exerted in FSLW,and the UV enhanced FSLW(UVeFSLW)was developed for making Mg-to-Al dissimilar joints.The numerical analysis and experimental investigation were combined to study the process mechanism in Mg/Al UVeFSLW.An equation related to the temperature and strain rate was derived to calculate the grain size at different locations of the weld nugget zone,and the effect of grain size distribution on the threshold thermal stress was included,so that the prediction accuracy of flow stress was further improved.With such modified constitutive equation,the numerical simulation was conducted to compare the heat generation,temperature profiles and material flow behaviors in Mg/Al UVeFSLW/FSLW processes.It was found that the exerted UV decreased the temperature at two checking points on the tool/workpiece interface from 707/671 K in FSLW to 689/660 K in UVeFSLW,which suppressed the IMCs thickness at Mg-Al interface from 1.7μm in FSLW to 1.1μm in UVeFSLW.The exerted UV increased the horizontal materials flow ability,and decreased the upward flow ability,which resulted in the increase of effective sheet thickness/effective lap width from 2.01/3.70 mm in FSLW to 2.04/4.84 mm in UVeFSLW.Therefore,the ultrasonic vibration improved the tensile shear strength of Mg-to-Al lap joints by 18%.

文摘GH4169 joints manufactured by Linear Friction Welding(LFW)are subjected to tensile test and stair-case method to evaluate the High Cycle Fatigue(HCF)performance at 650℃.The yield and ultimate tensile strengths are 582 MPa and 820 MPa,respectively.The HCF strength of joint reaches 400 MPa,which is slightly lower than that of Base Metal(BM),indicating reliable quality of this type of joint.The microstructure observation results show that all cracks initiate at the inside of specimens and transfer into deeper region with decrease of external stress,and the crack initiation site is related with microhardness of matrix.The Electron Backscattered Diffraction(EBSD)results of the observed regions with different distances to fracture show that plastic deformation plays a key role in HCF,and the Schmid factor of most grains near fracture exceeds 0.4.In addition,the generation of twins plays a vital role in strain concentration release and coordinating plastic deformation among grains.

文摘In the era of the digital economy,digital trade has demonstrated strong vitality,becoming a crucial driving force for the highquality development of national and regional economies.However,understanding the resilience of digital trade in the face of external crises is an important topic.Taking the backdrop of Sino-US trade friction,this paper constructs a resilience index system for digital trade.It utilizes entropy method,kernel density estimation,and ArcGIS mapping to calculate and visually analyze the resilience of China’s digital trade from 2017 to 2021.Additionally,a Tobit model is constructed to explore the main influencing factors of digital trade resilience patterns.The research findings indicate:1)temporally,during the period of Sino-US trade friction,China’s digital trade resilience shows an overall upward trend,but there are regional differences in resilience levels across the country,with a severe polarization phenomenon.2)Spatially,high resilience is observed in the eastern and central regions of China,while the western and northeastern regions exhibit low resilience.3)From a dimensional perspective,the resistance of digital trade resilience displays a spatial distribution of high values in the east and low values in the west.The recovery force is aggregated along coastal areas,and the renewal force tends to aggregate along the eastern coastline.4)Factors such as economic scale,industrial structure,urbanization rate,government fiscal expenditure,and technological talents significantly promote the enhancement of digital trade resilience.This study reveals the dynamic characteristics and influencing factors of digital trade resilience in responding to external shocks,providing theoretical basis and policy suggestions for enhancing digital trade resilience,and promoting high-quality economic development in China.
文摘Friction stir welding(FSW)is a relatively new welding technique that has significant advantages compared to the fusion welding techniques in joining non weld able alloys by fusion,such as aluminum alloys.Three FSW seams of AA6061-T6 plates were made us-ing different FSW parameters.The structure of the FSW seams was investigated using X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron mi-croscope(SEM)and non destructive testing(NDT)techniques and their hardness was also measured.The dominated phase in the AA6061-T6 alloy and the FSW seams was theα-Al.The FSW seam had lower content of the secondary phases than the AA6061-T6 al-loy.The hardness of the FSW seams was decreased by about 30%compared to the AA6061-T6 alloy.The temperature distributions in the weld seams were also studied experimentally and numerically modeled and the results were in a good agreement.

文摘In order to solve the problem of poor formability caused by different materials and properties in the process of tailor-welded sheets forming,a forming method was proposed to change the stress state of tailor-welded sheets by covering the tailor-welded sheets with better plastic properties overlapping sheets.At the same time,the interface friction effect between the overlapping and tailor-welded sheets was utilized to control the stress magnitude and further improve the formability and quality of the tailor-welded sheets.In this work,the bulging process of the tailor-welded overlapping sheets was taken as the research object.Aluminum alloy tailor-welded overlapping sheets bulging specimens were studied by a combination of finite element analysis and experimental verification.The results show that the appropriate use of interface friction between tailor-welded and overlapping sheets can improve the formability of tailor-welded sheets and control the flow of weld seam to improve the forming quality.When increasing the interface friction coefficient on the side of tailor-welded sheets with higher strength and decreasing that on the side of tailor-welded sheets with lower strength,the deformation of the tailor-welded sheets are more uniform,the offset of the weld seam is minimal,the limit bulging height is maximal,and the forming quality is optimal.
