This book was released on 1998 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Order to determine equivalent static pressures for fatigue loads on cantilevered highway support structures a cantilevered Variable Message Sign(VMS) located along Interstate westbound at mile marker 48.5 in northern New Jersey was continuously monitored for three months. The structure was instrumented with strain gages, pressure transducers, and a wind sentry. All the data was collected with a Campbell Scientific CR9000 digital data acquisition system. A cellular phone transceiver enabled remote communication with the data logger. The system and instrumentation was powered with solar powers and marine batteries. Short-term testing was performed on the structure to determine the dynamic characteristics such as stiffness, natural frequency, and percent of critical damping. Results of the short-term test indicated that the stiffness was 0.24 kN/mm, the first and the second modes were 0.87 cycles/s and 1.22 cycles/s respectively, and the percent of critical damping for the first and second modes were 0.57 percent and 0.25 percent respectively. Long-Term monitoring was performed to capture the structures response to natural wind gusts, galloping, and truck-induced wind gusts. This data would then be used to determine appropriate fatigue design wind loads for future sign support structures. During the three months of monitoring the structure did not experience galloping, which is a phenomena highly dependent on location. A galloping design pressure of 1000 Pa was recommended based on previous research. The summer months, which is when the structure was monitored, were not conductive to the strongest natural winds patterns in Northern New Jersey. The highest natural wind speed that was recorded was 7.5m/s. It is believed that much stronger winds are present in winter and spring, therefore a natural wind gust design pressure of 250 Pa was recommended. Truck-induced gusts were measured and a linear gradient for the truckinduced gust design pressure was determined. The truck-induced gust design pressure ranged linearly from 1760 Pa at 0 to 6m above the surface of the road to 0 Pa at 10.1m and over.

Download or read book Fatigue of Structures and Materials written by J. Schijve and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics. The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing of fatigue resistant structures and to prevent structural fatigue problems in service. Chapter 1 gives a general survey of the topic with brief comments on the signi?cance of the aspects involved. This serves as a kind of a program for the following chapters. The central issues in this book are predictions of fatigue properties and designing against fatigue. These objectives cannot be realized without a physical and mechanical understanding of all relevant conditions. In Chapter 2 the book starts with basic concepts of what happens in the material of a structure under cyclic loads. It illustrates the large number of variables which can affect fatigue properties and it provides the essential background knowledge for subsequent chapters. Different subjects are presented in the following main parts: • Basic chapters on fatigue properties and predictions (Chapters 2–8) • Load spectra and fatigue under variable-amplitude loading (Chapters 9–11) • Fatigue tests and scatter (Chapters 12 and 13) • Special fatigue conditions (Chapters 14–17) • Fatigue of joints and structures (Chapters 18–20) • Fiber-metal laminates (Chapter 21) Each chapter presents a discussion of a speci?c subject.
