Investigation Experimentally the Effect of Thermal Stresses on the Straight and Curved Natural Composite Material Pipes

Abstract

This paper study experimentally the effect of changing the angle of curvature pipe made from natural composite materials (eggshell powder with polyester) under thermal load. This work involves the design and fabricate of straight and curved pipe samples with difference angle of curvatures (34° and 48°) at 50 % weight fraction. Three composite pipes were tested (straight pipe, curved pipe with angle 34°, and curved pipe with angle 48°). Tensile and thermo-mechanical test were performing to find the mechanical properties of the specimens. Experimental work included design and manufacturing test rig to simulate thermal stress. The experimental results revealed that a maximum hoop strain and longitudinal strain increased with increasing the temperature for all test pipes. The longitudinal stresses at crown and intrados positions were more than the longitudinal stress at extrados position by 258 % and 199 % respectively and the von mises stresses at crown and intrados positions were more than the von mises stress at extrados position by 180 % and 165 % respectively. In the curved pipe with angle 48°, the hoop strains at intrados and crown positions were more than the hoop strain at extrados position by 78 % and 37 % respectively.

The future of an intelligent and responsive architecture design after the COVID 19 epidemic

“…To flatten the COVID-19 curve, the best options for the global to cope with the virus right now are social isolations, hand-washing, and wearing a protective mask. However, technology may slow the virus's spread by detecting and monitoring new cases early on 36,10,32 . Even though emerging technology will exacerbate problems, opportunities have arisen to implement innovative solutions in the direction of more intelligent and virtual reality applications of building design.…”

“…Many authors investigated different methods to purified polluted water using low cost sustainable methods 14-16, 23, 51,52, 57, 60-62, 62, 54,55, 10, 34, 48-50, 34. There is a greater need for improved air quality and much more efficient design ventilation to reduce virus survivability with the present epidemic. In addition, people will be less likely to touch light switches, electronic items, or elevators after the epidemic, resulting in an increasing number of touchless devices in a building, such as hand-free doors, sound-activated lifts, and mobile-controlled central door locks 9,32,33,40,27,50 .…”
