    Shelby Tube Sampler. Utilized in the 'Standard Practice for Thin-Walled Tube Sampling of Soils for Geotechnical Purposes' (ASTM D 1587 [5]). This sampler consists of a thin-walled tube with a cutting edge at the toe. A sampler head attaches the tube to the drill rod, and contains a check valve and pressure vents.

  3. Standard penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_penetration_test

    The test uses a thick-walled sampling tube, with an outside diameter of 5.01 cm (2 in) and an inside diameter of 3.5 cm (1.375 in), and a length of at least 60 cm (24 in). The sampling tube is driven into the ground at the bottom of a borehole by blows from a hammer with a mass of 63.5 kg (140 lb) falling a distance of 75 cm (30 in). The sample ...

  4. Thin walled beams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_walled_beams

    A thin walled beam is a type of beam (structure) that does not have a solid cross sectional area. The cross section of thin walled beams is made up from thin panels connected together. Typical closed sections include round, square, and rectangular tubes. Open sections include I-beams, T-beams, L-beams, and so on.

  6. Drill pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_pipe

    Drill pipe, is hollow, thin-walled, steel or aluminium alloy piping that is used on drilling rigs. It is hollow to allow drilling fluid to be pumped down the hole through the bit and back up the annulus. It comes in a variety of sizes, strengths, and wall thicknesses, but is typically 27 to 32 feet in length (Range 2).

  7. Shell (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(structure)

    A thin shell is defined as a shell with a thickness which is small compared to its other dimensions and in which deformations are not large compared to thickness. A primary difference between a shell structure and a plate structure is that, in the unstressed state, the shell structure has curvature as opposed to the plates structure which is flat.

  8. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    However, caution must be exercised in using this metric. Thin-walled beams are ultimately limited by local buckling and lateral-torsional buckling. These buckling modes depend on material properties other than stiffness and density, so the stiffness-over-density-cubed metric is at best a starting point for analysis.

  9. Aluminium–silicon alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–silicon_alloys

    Otherwise, AlSi alloys generally have favorable casting properties: the shrinkage is only 1.25% and the influence of the wall thickness is small. [10] Hypereutectic alloys, with a silicon content of 16 to 19%, such as Alusil, can be used in high-wear applications such as pistons, cylinder liners and internal combustion engine blocks. The metal ...
