Ferritic/martensitic steels are candidate materials for fusion reactor structural components, liquid metal containers of spallation neutron sources, and accelerator driven systems, with good radiation resistance and thermo-mechanical properties. However, e ...
Five different grain sizes are produced in 0.17 wt% carbon steel using varying rates of cooling from austenitization temperatures. Controlled furnace cooling from 1100 °C and 950 °C produces coarse ferrite grains of 40 µm and 32 µm diameter, respectively, ...
A discrete element model is proposed to examine rock strength and failure. The model is implemented by UDEC which is developed for this purpose. The material is represented as a collection of irregular-sized deformable particles interacting at their cohesi ...
Knowledge of failure strength is the key to structural glass applications. However, the influence of the manufacturing process on the failure initiation at the glass edge is not well known. For this paper, small-scale glass specimens are tested in four-poi ...
Improvement of single wall carbon nanotube (CNT) bundle mechanical properties through carbon ion irradiation is investigated using molecular dynamics. Increased inter-tube shear and toughness properties through formation of inter-tube cross-links is balanc ...
The Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) of a textured zinc sheet has been identified via tensile and bulge tests. The strong anisotropy of the sheet is reflected in the tensile tests, and even more strikingly in the formability measured from the bulge tests. The d ...
Many engineering alloys and composites combine a ductile matrix with discrete microscopic reinforcing phases, e.g. silicon particles in aluminium alloys, carbides in steels or ceramic particles in metal matrix composites. It is well understood that the mec ...
Dynamic fragmentation phenomena involve two important mechanisms: atomic debonding and internal impacts among formed fragments. While the former, i.e. energy dissipation due to crack propagation, has been frequently studied both theoretically and numerical ...
In this paper, experiments are carried out to study the quasi-static and dynamic fracture behaviour of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. The notched semi-circular bending method has been employed to determine fracture parameters over a wide range ...
This research investigated the evolution of tensile, hardness, and fracture properties of Eurofer97 tempered martensitic steel following neutron irradiation. The irradiation-hardening was measured with Vickers hardness tests on broken parts of sub-sized co ...
