Multiaxial ultra low cycle fatigue in welded high strength steel structural components

Alain Nussbaumer, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa

Extreme events often subject regions of structural steel components to large inelastic strains. In conditions such as earthquakes, exceptional winds gusts or tides the loading scenario is cyclical, variable amplitude and frequently multiaxial in nature, an ...

Analysis of High Temperature Degradation of Alloys in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Manuel Bianco

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are approaching commercialization to improve power production efficiency. Currently, cost and lifetime reliability limit their spread in the market. The SOFC is ceramic-based, but refractory metal alloys are in fact the major ...

In situ characterization of a high work hardening Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Karl Alan Sofinowski, Nicola Casati

A multi-phase Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting and thermal post treatments has been shown to exhibit increased strength and ductility over standard wrought or hot isostatic pressed Ti-6-Al-4V. The mechanical improvements are due to a prolonged, ...

Sensitivity of Simulated Steel Column Instabilities to Plasticity Model Assumptions

Dimitrios Lignos, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Current experimental studies on the seismic behavior of steel wide-flange columns under multi-axis cyclic loading reveal that these members, depending on their geometric characteristics, may be susceptible to axial shortening, out-of-plane deformations and ...

Numerical simulation of the probability of corrosion initiation of RC elements made of reinforcing steel with improved corrosion performance

Eugen Brühwiler, David Conciatori

Steel reinforcing bars in concrete are protected from corrosion by a thin oxide film that is created on the steel surface in the highly alkaline environment of the concrete. Corrosion process begins once this oxide film is destroyed, for example, by chlori ...

A new hybrid Additive Manufacturing process combining Selective Laser Melting and Laser Shock Peening

Nikola Kalentics

Additive Manufacturing (AM) in whole and especially Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are already making a revolution in the way parts are designed and manufactured with the ability to produce lightweight parts with unprecedented complex geometries which are o ...

Improving the collapse risk of steel structures with high-performance steel

Dimitrios Lignos

With the advent of material science, high-performance steel materials have been developed for seismic applications that potentially reduce the earthquake-induced collapse risk of steel frame buildings. The High Yield Point (HYP400) steel is one of those ma ...

Mechanical properties of MC multimetallic carbides in steel

Lionel Michelet

Carbides constitute a class of materials used for many applications, where excellent mechanical properties, such as stiffness, hardness and fracture toughness, are required. The machining industry is a typical example where carbide are crucial materials. W ...

Response of thin lightly-reinforced concrete walls under cyclic loading

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

During the last two decades, thin concrete walls have been frequently used to brace mid- to high-rise buildings in some Latin American countries. This structural system differs significantly in terms of wall geometry and reinforcement layout from tradition ...

Design of Separated Element Reflector Experiments in CROCUS: PETALE

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Pavel Frajtag, Mathieu Hursin, Daniel Jerôme Siefman

The present article describes the preliminary design studies for PETALE (Programme d'Etude en Transmission de l'Acier Lourd et ses Elements), an oncoming experimental program in the CROCUS reactor. Within the framework of the Venus-Eole-Proteus collaborati ...
