Stoplogs are designed to cut off or stop flow through a conduit. They are typically long rectangular timber beams or boards that are placed on top of each other and dropped into premade slots inside a weir, gate, or channel. Present day, the process of adding and removing stoplogs is not manual, but done with hydraulic stoplog lifters and ...
A notch weir is any weir where the physical barrier is significantly higher than the water level except for a specific notch (often V-shaped) cut into the panel. At times of normal flow all the water must pass through the notch, simplifying flow volume calculations, and at times of flood the water level can rise and submerge the weir without ...
Charpy test sample with a notch. In mechanical engineering and materials science, a notch refers to a V-shaped, U-shaped, or semi-circular defect deliberately introduced into a planar material. In structural components, a notch causes a stress concentration which can result in the initiation and growth of fatigue cracks.
They are made of steel and are sometimes manufactured using durable rail steel. They can be used to support various types of wire or wire mesh. The end view of the post creates an obvious T, Y, or other shape. The posts are driven into the ground with a manual or pneumatic post pounder. All along the post, along the spine, there are studs or ...
Welded wire mesh fence is a steel fence consisting of wire strands electrically welded together to form a high strength mesh. The fencing is available in two formats: rolled mesh and rigid mesh. Over the last 30 years rigid mesh fencing has become the system of choice for demarcation across the UK, Europe and Australia.
A free nappe, which is ventilated to maintain atmospheric pressure below, does not come into contact with the underside of the weir. [7] A depressed nappe is partially ventilated, which creates negative pressure beneath the nappe. The negative pressure leads to a 6% to 7% increase in discharged water compared to a free nappe. [8]
According to the standards, the constraining dimension of the specimen is the thickness of the material. Compact tension specimens are used for experiments where there is a shortage of material available due to their compact design. For rolled materials the notch should be aligned with the roll direction where the material is weakest.
"The blade, which must be of steel, is approximately rectangular in section.The maximum length of the blade is 88 cm (35 in). The minimum width of the blade, which must be at the button, is 4 mm (0.16 in); its thickness, also immediately below the button, must be at least 1.2 mm (0.047 in)."
