Creep behaviour and tensile response of adhesively bonded polyethylene joints: Single-Lap and Double-Strap

The static and time-dependent behaviours of adhesively bonded polyethylene Double-Strap (DS) joints were investigated to assess the viability of this joint configuration relative to the Single-Lap (SL) joints. Both experiments and finite element simulations are conducted. First, we individually characterise the tensile and creep behaviour of the adhesive and adherent materials; an epoxy-based adhesive and polyethylene, respectively. This information is used to develop suitable constitutive models that are then implemented in the commercial finite element package ABAQUS by means of user material subroutines, UMATs. The numerical models are used to design the creep tests on the adhesive joints. Afterwards, an extensive experimental campaign is conducted where we characterise the static and creep behaviour of two joint configurations, SL and DS joints, and three selected values of the overlap length. In regard to the static case, results reveal an increase in the failure load with increasing overlap length, of up to 10% for an overlap length of 39 mm. Also, slightly better performance is observed for the SL joint configuration. For the creep experiments, we show that the DS adhesive joint configuration leads to much shorter elongations, relative to the SL joints. These differences diminish with increasing overlap length but remain substantial in all cases. In both joint configurations, the elongation increases with decreasing overlap length. For instance, increasing the overlap length to 39 mm led to a 50% and a 30% reduction in elongation for SL and DS joints, respectively. Moreover, the numerical predictions show a good agreement with the experiments. The stress redistribution is investigated and it is found that the shear stress is highly sensitive to the testing time, with differences being more noticeable for the DS joint system

Supply and protected different population of Litopenaeus vannamei subadult zero foster (F_0) from difference provinces Iran

Nowadays, Litopenaeus vannamei are the most important species of farmed penaeidae shrimp in the world that is rapidly replacing native species in areas aquaculture. Due to demand increase for this species culture, shrimp displacement to different areas may be associated with some potential pathogens transferred to new areas farmed. Therefore, in this study were prepared bi-osecurity conditions for specific disease-free production of L. vannamei. Thereafter, three populations (Molokaei, High health and mix of Molokaei and High health) of the shrimp various reserves were detected base on origin and genetic indexes such as: observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity, allele frequency, coefficient inbreeding, genetic differentiation, genetic distance and genetic identity. On the other hand, epidemiological studies indicate non pathogens (viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic) recognition of different populations selected in the quarantine salon. The bioassay results showed that the average weight and length of the populations of High health and Mix significantly greater than was a population of Molokaei. The shrimp populations were stocked in fiberglass tank (five ton) and were kept separated in the quarantine salon. During maintenance shrimp of populations in the quarantine salon were evaluated living and non-living pathogens with PCR, microbiology and biochemical methods. There is not any pathogens detection from shrimp populations stocking in the quarantine salon, so the shrimps were carried over to pond for broodstock culture of specific pathogenic free

The survey on growth and survival larvae of different generation of Litopenaeus vannameiu

In the present Shrimp industry Has become a huge industry . The shrimp culture in Bushehr province began with Penaeus semisulcatus and Fenneropenaeus indicus and with introducing Litopenaeus vannamei in Iran Was known as a culture species. The shrimp production rate in IRAN is about 23000 metric ton. Outbreak of Various diseases and Biosecurity are most important things to produce Specific Patogen Free (SPF) shrimp. In this regard, production of SPF shrimp is The main requirements of shrimp industry. The survey on growth and srvival larve of different generation of Litopenaeus vannamei project was carried out in 2013 and 2014. Broodstock selecting, propagation, culture and shrimp generation Was performed in 2012 until 2014.In 2014 we produced 4300 pieces of prebroodstock with 22.38 gram and 86 percent survival rate after 120 days of culture
