Post-irradiation deformation in a Fe-9%Cr alloy

The deformed microstructures of both irradiated and unirradiated Fe-9%Cr (Fe-9Cr) uniaxial tensile specimens have been examined to identify controlling mechanisms. Deformation following irradiation is found to occur in poorly defined channels about 100 nm ...

Tensile strength of fiber-reinforced composites: III. Beyond the traditional Weibull model for fiber strengths

William Curtin

Commercially available graphite and ceramic fibers exhibit statistical strength distributions having separate Weibull moduli rho' for the scaling of strength versus fiber length and rho for the distribution of strengths across a collection of fibers at fix ...

Modeling brittle and tough stress-strain behavior in unidirectional ceramic matrix composites

William Curtin

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 ...

Tensile strength of titanium matrix composites: Direct numerical simulations and analytic models

William Curtin

A recently-developed model for the numerical simulation of tensile stress-strain behavior in fiber-reinforced composites is used to predict the tensile strength of a metal matrix composite consisting of a Ti-1100 matrix reinforced with SCS-6 SiC fibers. Da ...

AN ULTIMATE TENSILE-STRENGTH DEPENDENCE ON PROCESSING FOR CONSOLIDATED METAL-MATRIX COMPOSITES

William Curtin

The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of metal and intermetallic matrix unidirectional composites can be significantly lower than expected from the rule of mixtures prediction. One possible explanation is that the fibers in the as-processed state are in a re ...

INFLUENCE OF PROCESSING DAMAGE ON PERFORMANCE OF FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITES

William Curtin

The effect of processing-induced fiber damage, or equivalently the effect of fiber length in discontinuously-reinforced composites, on the tensile stress-strain behavior of a fiber-reinforced ceramic or metal matrix is determined as a function of the exten ...

ALGEBRAIC SCALING OF MATERIAL STRENGTH

William Curtin

The strength of a brittle material is determined by the extreme tail of its crack-size distribution. The Weibull ansatz of algebraic distributions has been widely used but is not derived from any physical mechanism, and recent results on randomly depleted ...

THEORY OF MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES OF CERAMIC-MATRIX COMPOSITES

William Curtin

A theory is presented to predict the pullout work and ultimate tensile strength of ceramic-matrix composite (CMC) materials tested under uniaxial tension as functions of the underlying material properties. By assuming that the fibers fracture independently ...

Fracture of mass concreete under simulated seismic action

Eugen Brühwiler

The numerical simulation of concrete dams subject to earthquake loading requires realistic material laws which take into account material properties as effected by seismic action. Experiments under simulated seismic action were performed to examine the eff ...

Failure of Dam concrete subjected to seismic Loading Conditions

Eugen Brühwiler

e numerical simulation of concrete dams subjected to earthquake loading requires realistic material laws which take into account seismic loading conditions. Dynamic tests were performed in order to examine the effect of initially applied compressive loadin ...
