Nanoindentation of embedded particles

Andreas Mortensen, Alejandra Inés Slagter, Joris Pierre Everaerts

We address the effect of elastic inhomogeneity on elastic modulus and hardness determinations made by depth-sensing indentations performed on individual particles embedded within a matrix of different elastic modulus. Finite element simulations and nanoind ...

Dynamic study of contact damping in martensitic stainless steels using nano-indentation

Philippe Spätig, Hans-Peter Seifert

The study was undertaken to gain insight into the micro-mechanisms controlling plasticity at the micrometer scale of elastic-plastic metallic alloys. Dynamic nano-indentation tests, where a small harmonic force amplitude is superimposed during loading, ref ...

Young's modulus and creep of calcium-silicate-hydrate compacts measured by microindentation

Karen Scrivener, Zhangli Hu, Pietro Lura

In this paper, compacts of synthetic calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) with 0.8-1.5 calcium-to-silicon ratio (Ca/Si) and 30-80% porosity were prepared by one-direction cold pressing. The Young's modulus and the creep of C-S-H compacts were measured by micro ...

Influence of local fiber distribution on tensile behavior of strain hardening UHPFRC using NDT and DIC

Xiujiang Shen

This paper introduces the uniformity factor mu(2) for considering the local fiber distribution within elements made with Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC). The influence of mu(2) on the strain-hardening response of UH ...

Stag Beetle Elytra: Localized Shape Retention and Puncture/Wear Resistance

Roberto Guarino

Beetles are by far one of the most successful groups of insects, with large diversity in terms of number of species. A part of this success is attributed to their elytra, which provide various functions such as protection to their bodies from mechanical fo ...

Depth-dependent mechanical properties of human articular cartilage obtained by indentation measurements

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Robin Martin, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Jens Antons

Emerging 3D printing technology permits innovative approaches to manufacture cartilage scaffolds associated with layer-by-layer mechanical property adaptation. However, information about gradients of mechanical properties in human articular cartilage is li ...

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 ...

Helium effects on irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of 316L austenitic stainless steel

Ignasi Villacampa Roses

The formation and growth of cracks by irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) in light water reactor internals is a critical issue for a safe long-term operation of nuclear power plants. The IASCC susceptibility at relatively low dose is dom ...

On the mechanical characteristics of a self-setting calcium phosphate cement

John Botsis, Luis Pablo Canal Casado, Dimitrios Karalekas, Alexios Bimis

Objective: To perform a mechanical characterization of a self-setting calcium phosphate cement in function of the immersion time in Ringer solution. Materials and methods: Specimens of self-setting calcium phosphate cement were prepared from pure alpha-TCP ...

Buckling of a Pressurized Hemispherical Shell Subjected to a Probing Force

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Anna Lee

We study the buckling of hemispherical elastic shells subjected to the combined effect of pressure loading and a probing force. We perform an experimental investigation using thin shells of nearly uniform thickness that are fabricated with a well-controlle ...
