Experimental investigation of dowel action using advanced measurement techniques

Existing shear-cracked structures need to be reliably verified in order to avoid redundant interventions. Code provisions often raise shear safety and/or fatigue life concerns of the reinforcement subjected to stress concentrations due to cyclic dowel acti ...

Reactive dicalcium silicate binders: Microstructure and transport properties

Adrian-Alexandru Pîrvan

The calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) are without doubt one of the most important hydration products in a hardened cement paste. Giving the complexity of the microstructure that forms by hydration of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and the more recently use ...

Giant hardening response in AlMgZn(Cu) alloys

William Curtin, Daniel John Gilles Marchand

This study presents a thermomechanical processing concept which is capable of exploiting the full industrial application potential of recently introduced AlMgZn(Cu) alloys. The beneficial linkage of alloy design and processing allows not only to satisfy th ...

The effect of stress triaxiality on the phase transformation in transformation induced plasticity steels: Experimental investigation and modelling the transformation kinetics

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Efthymios Polatidis, Nicola Casati

In situ multiaxial loading during neutron diffraction tests were undertaken on a low-alloyed Quenched and Partitioning (Q&P) Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) Bainitic Ferrite (TBF) steel with dispersed austenite particles. The effect of stress tria ...

Upgrade and Commissioning of the SULTAN Facility to Host Quench Experiments on HTS High Current Conductors

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Davide Uglietti, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Ortensia Dicuonzo

High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) are promising materials for future fusion magnets. One of HTS conductors' main issues is the quench protection: the quench develops much slower than in LTS, delaying the quench detection by voltage monitoring and caus ...

Processing and micro-mechanical characterization of multi-component transition MC carbides in iron

Andreas Mortensen, Goran Zagar, Léa Deillon, Marta Fornabaio, Lionel Michelet

We prepare multi-component transition monocarbides of chosen composition by arc-melting together a pre-alloy of the transition metals and cast iron. Based on the elements Ti, Ta, V, Nb and W, 51 different binary, ternary and quaternary compositions are pro ...

Design using randomness: a new dimension for metallurgy

William Curtin

High entropy alloys add a new dimension, atomic-scale randomness and the associated scale-dependent composition fluctuations, to the traditional metallurgical axes of time-temperature-composition-microstructure. Alloy performance is controlled by the energ ...

What EBSD and TKD Tell Us about the Crystallography of the Martensitic B2-B19′ Transformation in NiTi Shape Memory Alloys

Cyril Cayron

The complex and intricate microstructure of B19′ martensite in shape memory nickel titanium alloys is generally explained with the Phenomenological Theory of Martensitic Crystallography (PTMC). Over the last decade, we have developed an alternative approac ...

Linking electronic structure calculations to generalized stacking fault energies in multicomponent alloys

Anirudh Raju Natarajan

The generalized stacking fault energy is a key ingredient to mesoscale models of dislocations. Here we develop an approach to quantify the dependence of generalized stacking fault energies on the degree of chemical disorder in multicomponent alloys. We int ...
