辊压机辊轴快速拆卸复合结构应力分析及应用研究 by 张胜泉, 边汉民, 宋亚杰, 孙学娟

“…It’s difficult to dismantle the reducer and bearings,when maintaining the roller press.So a new structure related to a link construction between the output shaft of the reducer and the axis was designed to replace them quickly.The construction mainly used end face key connection and bolt connection to transfer the torque and bending moment.However when caculating the stress of the structure by hand,it’s difficult to allot the proportion load between the key and bolts.Ansys software was used to analyze the stress of the structure.The quick replacing structure was modeled,meshed,constrained and loaded.Different detailed structure and bolt preload was considered.The analysis result shows that the preload affects composite structure stress the most.Structural change has a certain effect on the composite structure stress.The materials of bolts and key have great influence on the bearing capacity of composite structure.For RP140-65 roller press,the optimum parameters are selected.The preload should be set to 200 kN～ 250 kN.Non-through keyway composite structure makes the key stress lower.Key material should be selected higher performance than 45 steel.Bolts performance class should bet 12.9.After the drawings was designed,the structure was manufactured and put into operation.It’s proved that the structure design is reliable after it has run for five years.This design method can be popularized and applied in the design of roller press.…”

Sacraliser le territoire américain : Mount Shasta, quand les dieux viennent instruire les humains by Bernadette Rigal-Cellard

“…Then, we look at a famous book Unveiled Mysteries, by Godfre Ray King, alias Guy Ballard, the founder of the I AM cult, who obviously got his inspiration from the first Shasta novel. Ballard replaces the Lothin fraternity with the Great White Brotherhood, a gathering of perfected humans who have deified themselves and come to Mount Shasta to teach humans how to reach the same level of enlightenment, Saint Germain being Godfre’s guide among those Ascended Masters. …”

Handbag de Mark Ravenhill (1998) : réincarnation de The Importance of Being Earnest à la fin des années 1990 by Xavier Giudicelli

“…The play Handbag by Mark Ravenhill (one of the quintessential writers of so-called “in-yer-face” theatre), first produced at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, in 1998, is a rewriting of The Importance of Being Earnest which shifts the emphasis from the verbal to the physical. This article first replaces Handbag in its political, aesthetic and critical contexts: the emergence of “in-yer-face” theatre in the 1990s, Wilde as a key figure in gay studies and queer theory in the late-1980s and 1990s in the United States and in Great Britain (with the works of E.K. …”

Relating Corroded Seven-Strand, Posttensioned Cable Cross-Sectional Properties to Load Capacity by Richard Haskins, Barry White, Robert Ebeling, James Evans

“…Methods for evaluating the corroded cable strength do not exist to accurately estimate the time until tendon cables would have to be replaced (at great expense). The following five research tasks are used to address this deficiency: laboratory accelerated corrosion; pull-tests on pristine and laboratory corroded cables; optical scanning; data collection correlated with cross-sectional properties of cables; and development of a method to relate this data to the field. …”
