Strain rate and temperature have important effects on the behaviour of soils. The present paper enhances the thermo-viscoplastic modelling of soils by taking advantage of the most recent understanding of the effects of temperature and strain rate on soils. ...
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 ...
Undertaken in the field of design methods for flexible pavement, the present study focuses on the introduction of traffic loads, applied mainly to mechanistic empirical methods. In such research, strains due to traffic loads — calculated by pavement modeli ...
From airplanes to sailboats to bridges, composite materials have become a significant part of our everyday structures. With increasing demand, these materials are pushed to their limits to improve structural efficiency. As a consequence, research and devel ...
Geotechnical experimental observations of the influence of strain rate on the mechanical behaviour of soft soils express fundamental microscopic processes. The main macroscopical displays are creep, relaxation and strain-rate effect on strength. With these ...
We investigate the fragmentation of an elastic visco-plastic ring in the one-dimensional framework. The governing equations include the effects of large deformation, geometric softening, hydrostatic pressure and material's viscoplasticity. Linear perturbat ...
Hot tearing is one of the most severe defects observed in castings, e.g. in billets or sheet ingots of aluminum alloys produced by DC casting. It is due to both tensile strains and a lack of interdendritic feeding in the mushy zone. In order to predict thi ...
A one-dimensional fragmentation analysis that incorporates elastic wave propagation and a cohesive failure process is presented. An irreversible cohesive law models the internal crack nucleation and opening process, and the elastodynamic states of the inta ...
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 ...
We report on the patterning and characterization of titanium–gold (Ti–Au) wire test structures on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyimide (PI) substrates. PEN, PET and PI are flexible polymers which can withstand stre ...
