A connector and method for electrically connecting adjacent solar cells together in a solar module. The terminals of the cells are connected with individual lengths of an electrically conductive material such as an electrically conductive metal ribbon. A substantial portion of the mid section of the ribbons remain unsoldered to thereby provide a stress relief zone in the ribbon between the cells to alleviate stress failures in the ribbons.

The invented method for measuring the health of a solid rocket propellant includes embedding at least one piezoelectric capacitance sensor in the propellant, where the capacitance of the sensor is a function of a modulus of the propellant, and where the position is selected to measure manifestations of stress failure as a consequence of changes in the shear modulus. The capacitance of the sensor is measured at a predetermined frequency. The capacitance of the piezoelectric capacitance sensor is converted into a digital representation which is then converted into the digital representation of a modulus (or gradient modulus). In subsequent analysis, the modulus (or gradient of the modulus) is correlated to the health of the solid rocket propellant.

The invention relates to a spot-welding connection failure value simulation system in the car bodywork manufacturing engineering field. In the invention, a circle-stress failure criterion generating module obtains nugget circle stress distribution form according to the failure mode of the spot-welding connection in a strike process to generate the circle stress failure criterion; a failure extreme value stress and an index-parameter obtaining module obtain welding-spot critical failure stress extreme values and dimensionless stress sub-item index initial values under the condition of the peak values of four exterior loads; four types of sample value models which are pulling-cutting, pulling-extending, pulling-bending and pulling-twisting are established in a welding-spot connection value simulation module; an explicit dynamics analysis module couples circle stress failure criteria and obtains the continuous distributed inner stress of a welding-spot unit model and an extreme value stress borne by the welding-spot unit during failure time by simulation; a welding-spot failure material databank module stores the critical failure stress extreme values and the dimensionless stress sub-item index initial values of each stress component. The system not only can enhance the impact simulation precision without impact on the calculation efficiency, but also can reduce the design and exploitation cost.

The administration of aerosolized nitric oxide donors or type V phosphodiesterase inhibitor in controlled doses to horses during high intensity exercise is described. Aerosolized nitric oxide donors (in conjunction with intravenous type V phosphodiesterase inhibitor) and type V phosphodiesterase inhibitor are beneficial to prevent exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage by reducing transmural pulmonary artery pressure with a concomitant decrease in pulmonary capillary stress failure. The administration of aerosolized nitric oxide donors and type V phosphodiesterase inhibitors is viewed as a novel therapeutic modality in the alleviation of capillary stress failure and EIPH in performance horses.

A fastener and a method for reducing stress failure in a fastening joint of an internal combustion engine component is disclosed. The threaded fastener may be a bolt or a stud secured to an engine block. The fastener has a threaded tip portion with a radius and a distal end. The threaded tip portion is inserted into a threaded hole to define a threaded interface. In one embodiment, the load carrying capability is increased by progressively reducing the radius of at least a part of the threaded tip portion. In another embodiment, the load carrying capability is increased by an axially extending hole at the distal end of the threaded tip portion, the hole having a progressively reduced diameter.

An energy-absorbing connection arrangement with a multitude of connectors for joining two components, such as a transverse member and a circular frame element, of an aircraft fuselage. Each connector comprises a headed shaft and the shafts reach through component boreholes. On the shaft ends facing away from the heads, counter-bearings are provided. At least one of the components comprises a fiber-reinforced plastic material. A head and/or counter-bearing of at least one connector rests against at least one underlay device. The underlay device is received in a guide groove in the first component, with the guide groove commencing in the region of the boreholes. The underlay device, upon exceeding a mechanical threshold load, is slidable away from the boreholes. Energy absorption takes place along a longitudinal center axis of the guide groove as a result of hole-bearing-stress failure and/or the shearing of the fiber-reinforced plastic material component.

The invention discloses a calculation method of a three-dimensional strain failure criterion model of an asphalt mixture. The calculation method comprises the following steps: carrying out strength and rigidity tests in a complex stress state, obtaining failure principal stress of the material, and establishing a stress failure criterion model in an octahedral space and a static resilience moduluscalculation model in the complex stress state; and on this basis, based on the generalized Hooke theorem, establishing an asphalt mixture three-dimensional strain failure criterion model consideringthe rigidity influence through a conversion method. According to the model, the influence of the complex stress state on the strength and rigidity of the asphalt mixture is considered, and synergisticdestructive effect among all strain components is also considered, so that compared with a traditional failure criterion model which does not consider rigidity changes, the nonlinear strength and deformation characteristics of the asphalt mixture can be reflected more accurately, and support is provided for reasonable selection of asphalt mixture material parameters and refined design of a road surface in the complex stress state.

The invention relates to an application of keratinocyte growth factor-2 in the preparation of medicines for preventing and curing lung injury. The invention has the advantages that single-medicine or medicine combination scheme is used to recombine human keratinocyte growth factor-2 (KGF-2) to cure and prevent lung injury/respiratory distress syndrome caused by any factor; and the lung injury/respiratory distress syndrome is in an important position of the special medicine such as the treatment of high altitude lung injury, the military medicine, the sports medicine and the treatment of lung injury/respiratory distress syndrome caused by other diseases. The above diseases can be subclinical, mild, moderate, severe or life-threatening lung injury. Researches show that KGF-2 can maintain the dynamic equilibrium of alveolar surfactants to promote hyperplasia, migrate cells and repair lung injury; and the KGF-2 plays an important role in protecting air-blood barrier to be intact, maintaining the cytoskeletal and intercellular splicing homeostasis, promoting the lung water to be removed and reducing or avoiding alveolus-capillary stress failure.

A subsurface safety valve particularly designed for high temperature and high pressure applications has an improved tubular joint connection that provides for a compliant metal to metal seal without adversely affecting the break out torque. The valve also includes axially extending grooves in the inner surface of the tubular housing in the area of a actuating piston bore to relief stresses in that area thereby reducing the risk of stress failure.
