The local strength of microscopic alumina reinforcements

Andreas Mortensen, Marco Cantoni, Goran Zagar, Andreas Rossoll, Martin Guillermo Mueller, Václav Pejchal

We measure, using an adaptation of a method designed for ceramic ball bearings, the local strength of a brittle second phase that serves to reinforce a metal. The method uses focused ion beam milling and a nanoindentation device, and is free of artifacts c ...

Influence of quench rate and microstructure on bendability of AA6016 aluminum alloys

Andreas Mortensen, Frédéric Diologent, Andreas Rossoll, Jean-François Despois, Cyrille Bezençon

The influence of the quench rate after solution treatment on the bendability of AA6016 aluminum alloy sheets was investigated. Crack initiation during bending tests is found to be independent of quench rate whereas crack propagation is decreased after rapi ...

On the load-bearing efficiency of open-cell foams: A comparison of two architectures related to two processes

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll

Using a simple beam element, this study estimates the elastic stiffness of two isotropic open-cell foam architectures that approximate, respectively, the space between tightly packed fluid bubbles and that defined between densified solid particles, and fin ...

Scaling of conductivity and Young’s modulus in replicated microcellular materials

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll, Yves Conde

Scaling exponents for the conductivity and stiffness of replicated microcellular materials exceed commonly predicted values of 1 and 2. We show here that this is caused by the fact that, in replicated microcellular materials, the solid architecture varies ...

Tensile strength of axially loaded unidirectional Nextel 610 (TM) reinforced aluminium: A case study in local load sharing between randomly distributed fibres

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll, Benedikt Moser

The tensile failure of unidirectional alumina fibre reinforced aluminium is studied in uniaxial loading along the fibre axis. The tensile strength is measured as a function of matrix yield strength, which is varied by varying the testing temperature, from ...

Hole and notch sensitivity of aluminium replicated foam

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll, Etienne Combaz

The flow and failure behaviour of replicated pure aluminium foams in the presence of holes and notches is explored, varying the pore size and the notch depth or hole radius. Flat dog-bone tensile specimens containing a cylindrical hole, and cylindrical V-n ...

Laminated Metal Composites by Infiltration

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll, Jérôme Krebs, Arda Cetin, Alexandre Durussel

We show that steel-magnesium alloy laminated metal composites (LMCs) can be produced by gas pressure infiltration of a liquid magnesium alloy between layers of stacked dimpled steel sheets. Resulting LMCs are amenable to subsequent warm rolling. The LMCs a ...

Fracture of high volume fraction ceramic particle reinforced aluminium under multiaxial stress

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll, Aude Hauert

Circumferentially notched cylindrical bars of high volume fraction Al2O3 particle reinforced aluminium are tested in tension to probe the role of tensile stress triaxiality on damage and failure of such materials. The transverse strain is monitored with a ...

Particle fracture in high volume fraction ceramic reinforced metals: governing parameters and implications for composite failure

In situ flow stress of pure aluminium constrained by tightly packed alumina fibres

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Andreas Rossoll, Benedikt Moser

The in situ matrix flow stress of continuous fibre-reinforced aluminium is measured in tension along the fibre axis. We use a new, tighter, estimate for the effect differential Poisson contraction between fibres and matrix and take into consideration nonli ...
