Highlights important aspects of bolted connections. Demonstrates bolted connections in tension and shear, including the effect of eccentricity, prying force, displacements and the connection stiffness.
Considers the interaction of web buckling, flange stiffness and vertical stiffeners. The explanation of each problem is followed by laboratory tests giving experimental support.
Controlling the porosity and flaw size distribution in a ceramic allows the strength to be specified. A grinding wheel, for example, needs large holes within it to work efficiently but an artificial hip...
Shows a computer system for calculating the fatigue-free life of engineering components predicting the life of a connecting rod. Recorded on location at GKN and MIRA. Uses computer animation to explain the...
Discusses the Liberty ships built in the USA during World War 2 using the then comparatively new technique of welding. Caught up in the speed of their construction, the ships contained a serious flaw causing...
Starting with materials that are notch-sensitive, looks at predominantly elastic material, and explains how the plane strain fracture toughness is established for any particular material. The technique of...
Investigates the development of the fracture mechanics theory which has enabled engineers to predict the behaviour of a cracked body. Demonstrates the use of the theory with reference to aircraft and...
Wear mechanisms and the choice of materials for artifical hip joints are inseparable. A historical survey of mateials used, past and present, is followed by a lecture filmed at the University of Leeds on...
Considers the design, manufacture and testing of two examples of ‘plastics under pressure’, a gas pipe and a pop bottle. Shows why each material was selected, how the physical properties are improved and...
After about 16 years in service, Canberra bombers developed cracks in the centre section forgings, which hold the wings onto the aircraft. This programme invenstgates what caused the cracks and who has been...
