A pressure vessel venting, dust collecting, and noise silencing system for continuous venting of dry process air during the filling and depressurization of pressure vessels configured to contain, for example, barite or the like, by filtering of vented air through a filter media, with the air discharge being controlled by a pressure sensor actuating a depressurizing regulator valve, located between the vessel and the filter. The present system contemplated a filter which may be cleaned by reverse pulse pressurization or backwash, thereby providing low maintenance filtration while preventing particle emissions into the atmosphere. The present system utilizes a high capacity, stacked filtration medium, which provides a greater filtration, with a surface contact area far in excess of the present systems on the market, which primarily rely upon bag house filtration. The present system thereby provides a low maintenance, efficient, and relatively cost effective system of controlled, filtered, and silenced venting on a process which would otherwise emit particulates into the air, while generating a significant amount of noise in the process.

A method for detecting mechanical features of a material, in particular a metal material, provides a preliminary step where a database is created containing a finite number of reference curves (P,h) (52). Such curves are obtained using a finite elements analysis and reproduce the trend of the applied force (P) responsive to the penetration depth (h) during an indentation test. The reference curves (P,h) are obtained for a determined number of different materials having a known elastic modulus E, and values of yield stress (σsn) and strain-hardening coefficient (n) comprised within determined ranges.

During the indentation test the penetration depth (h) responsive to the penetration force (P) are measured, and a succession of measured couples (P,h) (54) is then recorded. Such couples of determined values (P,h) are then computed (55), in order to extrapolate from the database at least one reference curve (P,h), for example by a least squares method (56).
