Motivated by applications in orthopaedic and maxillo-facial surgery, the mechanical behaviour of cortical bone tissue in cyclic overloads at physiological strain rates is investigated. The emphasis is on the development of appropriate constitutive laws tha ...
Nuclear materials have been successfully employed in commercial fission reactors for many decades. Research and material development for advanced fission system and future thermo-nuclear fusion reactors have acquired maturity while great challenges remain ...
The strain-hardening behaviour of a tempered martensitic iron-chromium-carbon model was examined in terms of dislocation mechanics. Tensile tests of this body-centered cubic alloy were carried out from 77 up to 293 K. A specific relationship between the fl ...
Modeling of the constitutive behavior was undertaken for Fe- Cr-C tempered martensitic alloys. Tensile tests were carried out at room temperature and constant nominal strain rate. In order to obtain a fully martensitic structure with different prior austen ...
In an effort to better understand the plasticity of tempered martensitic steels, uniaxial tension and compression tests were carried out. The temperature dependence of both the yield stress and the post-yield stress behavior were compared, and it was shown ...
An assessment of the true stress-true strain relationship has been done by means of tensile and small ball punch tests on austenitic and tempered martensitic steel at room temperature. A finite element model was developed and validated to calculate the for ...
Constant strain-rate and creep tests have been performed on poly-quasicrystalline specimens of the icosahedral Al-Cu-Fe system. Three temperatures (870, 960 and 1000 K) have been investigated by creep for samples predeformed at constant strain-rate before ...
Aeroelastic tailoring requires structural compliance and thus often conflicts with stiffness requirements to carry prescribed aerodynamic loads. Recently however, the application of cellular structural concepts has suggested the potential to achieve compli ...
A novel approach is adopted for determining the elastic and plastic strains of individual grains within a deformed polycrystalline aggregate. In this approach, termed "multisite modeling", the deformation of a grain does not merely depend on the grain latt ...
Finite element formulations are commonly used to predict stress, strain and temperature fields in metal forming. As these models have now gained robustness, an increasing attention is placed on the metallurgical evolutions associated with the thermal and m ...
