Micromechanics of oxide inclusions in ferrous alloys

Oxide inclusions are inevitably present in steel as a direct consequence of the steelmaking process; as a result, a cubic centimetre of modern steel will generally contain about a million of these hard and brittle micrometre-sized ceramic particles. Inclus ...

Effect of Mo addition on the mechanical and tribological properties of magnetron sputtered TiN films

Sami Rtimi

Ternary-based titanium nitride (TiN) thin films have drawn attention toward rational applications due to their wear resistance, high hardness, and corrosion resistance. The influence of Mo content on the structural, tribo-logical, and mechanical properties ...

Influence of Hf on the heat treatment response of additively manufactured Ni-base superalloy CM247LC

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Jamasp Jhabvala, Shreyas Sanjay Joglekar, Hossein Ghasemi Tabasi

The influence of Hf on the heat treatment response of a Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) fabricated Ni-base superalloy was investigated. A Hf-free version of CM247LC, CM247LC NHf, and CM247LC (similar to 1.4 wt% Hf) were subjected to identical thermal treat ...

Mechanical properties of a balsa wood veneer structural sandwich core material

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Niloufar Vahedi

Balsa wood is an appropriate core material for structural sandwich applications due to its high strength- and stiffness-to-weight ratios. However, the mechanical properties vary considerably owing to the inherent scattering of natural wood materials. One a ...

Characterization, mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass manufactured via laser powder-bed fusion

Roland Logé, Steven Van Petegem, Jamasp Jhabvala, Antonia Neels, Efthymios Polatidis, Annapaola Parrilli, Güven Kurtuldu, Navid Sohrabi

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are high-strength, highly elastic materials due to their disordered atomic structure. Because BMGs require sufficiently high cooling rates to bypass crystallization, laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) methods have recently ...

Rigidity of hemispherical elastic gridshells under point load indentation

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Changyeob Baek

We present results from physical and numerical experiments on the rigidity of hemispherical gridshells under point load indentation. By systematically exploring the relevant parameters of the system, we provide a scaling law for the rigidity of elastic gri ...

Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the heat treated FeCrCuMnNi high entropy alloy

Roland Logé, Ali Shabani

As cast FeCrCuMnNi high entropy alloys were heat treated at different temperatures and times. Structure and mechanical properties of the heat treated alloy were studied using X-Ray diffraction, tensile test, hardness test and scanning electron microscopy. ...

Depth-dependent mechanical properties of human articular cartilage obtained by indentation measurements

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Robin Martin, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Jens Antons

Emerging 3D printing technology permits innovative approaches to manufacture cartilage scaffolds associated with layer-by-layer mechanical property adaptation. However, information about gradients of mechanical properties in human articular cartilage is li ...

Hardness Results for Consensus-Halving

Jie Zhang, Aris Filos Ratsikas

The Consensus-halving problem is the problem of dividing an object into two portions, such that each of n agents has equal valuation for the two portions. We study the epsilon-approximate version, which allows each agent to have an epsilon discrepancy on t ...

Steel Columns under Multi-Axis Seismic Loading: Experimental Findings and Design Recommendations

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

This paper summarizes the findings of two test programs that investigated the hysteretic behavior of wide-flange columns in steel moment-resisting frames. Both deep and shallow steel columns were examined. The members were subjected to unidirectional and b ...
