Abrasivity test results from Lao-PDR: verification of the CAI-LCPC abrasivity classification

Simple abrasivity testing has been carried out on a sequence of arkosic and sub-arkosic sandstones, siltstones and mudstones with dominant sericite and ferruginous cements. Abrasivity classifications systems have been proposed by Thuro & Käsling (2009), wh ...

Nanoindentation cracking in gallium arsenide: Part I. In situ SEM nanoindentation

Johann Michler, Jacques Giovanola, Jean-Marc Breguet, Cédric Pouvreau

The nanoindentation fracture behavior of gallium arsenide (GaAs) is examined from two perspectives in two parent papers. The first paper (part I) focuses on in situ nanoindentation within a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and on fractographic observatio ...

Nanoindentation cracking in gallium arsenide: Part II. TEM investigation

Johann Michler, Jacques Giovanola, Jean-Daniel Ganière, Jean-Marc Breguet, Cédric Pouvreau

The nanoindentation fracture behavior of gallium arsenide (GaAs) is examined from two perspectives in two parent papers. In the first paper (part I), we address the morphology of the crack field induced by different types of indenters by means of in situ n ...

Influence of punching shear reinforcement on the flexural response of flat slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Stefan Lips

Physical punching shear models such as the Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT), which is the basis of Model Code 2010 (MC 2010), describe generally the punching strength as a function of the slab deformation. Thus, the prediction of an accurate load-deforma ...

Development of adapted material testing for cold pilgering process of ODS tubes

Roland Logé

In the framework of the development of new nuclear plants, we have studied the feasibility of producing cladding tubes in new grades adapted to the severe mechanical, thermal and irradiation conditions. ODS steel grades have been identified as promising ma ...

Probing the microscopic strength of alumina reinforcements

Andreas Mortensen, Marco Cantoni, Goran Zagar, Raphaël Charvet, Cyril Dénéréaz, Andreas Rossoll, Martin Guillermo Mueller, Václav Pejchal

In this work we develop a methodology to probe the strength and toughness of microscopic brittle phases by combining focused ion beam (FIB) milling methods with microtesting techniques and finite element simulation. We present results from tests conducted ...

Determination of mechanical properties and full-field strain measurements of rock material under dynamic loads

Jian Zhao, Qianbing Zhang

We present a detailed experimental procedure for the quantitative determination of mechanical properties and full-field strain measurement of rock material under dynamic loads. Three kinds of testing methods, i.e., notched semi-circular bending, Brazilian ...

Fracture toughness characterization in the lower transition of neutron irradiated Eurofer97 steel

Philippe Spätig, Nazar Ilchuk

This research investigated the evolution of tensile, hardness, and fracture properties of Eurofer97 tempered martensitic steel following neutron irradiation. The irradiation-hardening was measured with Vickers hardness tests on broken parts of sub-sized co ...

Application of spherical nanoindentation to determine the pressure of cavitation impacts from pitting tests

Ayat Karimi, Davide Carnelli, Jean-Pierre Franc

This article focuses on the use of spherical nanoindentation measurements to estimate the pressure of cavitation impacts and its statistical distribution. Indeed, nanoindentation techniques are supposed to represent an effective tool in this field due to t ...

Size effects in indentation of hydrated biological tissues

Matteo Galli

Fluid flow in biological tissues is important in both mechanical and biological contexts. Given the hierarchical nature of tissues, there are varying length scales at which time-dependent mechanical behavior due to fluid flow may be exhibited. Here, spheri ...
