During casting of aluminum alloys, the partially solidified material is submitted to thermally induced strains that can lead to severe casting defects, such as hot tearing. In this work, carried out in the frame of the European project VIR[CAST], the rheol ...
The three-point bending test by Kolsky-bar apparatus is a convenient technique to test the dynamic fracture properties of materials. This paper presents detailed three-dimensional finite element simulations of a silicon particle reinforced aluminum (SiCp/A ...
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 ...
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 ...
This paper investigates the use of embedded optical fiber Bragg gratings to measure strain near a stress concentration within a solid structure. Due to the nature of a stress concentration (i.e. the strong non-uniformity of the strain field) the assumption ...
This paper focuses on the constitutive behavior of the F82H ferritic/martensitic steels internationally investigated in the frame of the fusion material development program. Tensile tests were carried out in the temperature range (80-723 K) at different st ...
Viscoelasticity and crack growth govern the long-term deformability of concrete and thus its service behaviour and its durability. For low load levels, viscoelasticity behaves quasilinearly and crack growth is inactive. On the other hand, for high load lev ...
The possibility of decreasing ultimate tensile strength associated with increasing fiber/matrix interfacial sliding is investigated in ceramic-matrix composites. An axisymmetric finite-element model is used to calculate axial fiber stresses versus radial p ...
A new simple model for predicting the uniaxial stress-strain behavior of a unidirectional ceramic matrix composite. including stochastic matrix crack evolution, stochastic fiber damage and ultimate failure, is presented. The model demonstrates an important ...
A new model for predicting the uniaxial stress-strain behavior of a unidirectional ceramic matrix composite, including stochastic matrix crack evolution, stochastic fiber damage, and ultimate failure, is presented. The model shows that (i) "brittle" behavi ...
