Nonlocal continuum crystal plasticity with internal residual stresses

We derive a three-dimensional constitutive theory accounting for length-scale dependent internal residual stresses in crystalline materials that develop due to a non-homogeneous spatial distribution of the excess dislocation (edge and screw) density. The s ...

Hygrothermal Ageing and Damage Characterization in Epoxies and in Epoxy-Glass Interfaces

Marco Lai

Nowadays, composite materials are increasingly used in high technology fields such as aerospace and automotive because of the combination of excellent mechanical performance and lightweight. For these characteristics, classical metal alloys are progressive ...

Fatigue and cyclic creep of replicated microcellular aluminium

Andreas Mortensen, Sébastien Philippe Soubielle, Frédéric Diologent

The cyclic behaviour of 400 mu m pore size replicated aluminium foam is assessed in tension-tension fatigue with a stress ratio equal to 0.1, keeping the load amplitude constant, for relative density values comprised between 0.175 and 0.220. The number of ...

Atomistic study of edge and screw textless c plus a textgreater dislocations in magnesium

William Curtin

The gamma surfaces in the pyramidal I {1 -1 0 1} and II {1 1 -2 2} planes for hexagonal close packed Mg have been calculated using two embedded-atom-method potentials and by ab initio methods, and reasonable agreement is obtained for key stacking fault ene ...

Thermal stress relaxation in magnesium matrix composites controlled by dislocation breakaway

Daniele Mari, Robert Schaller, Abu Salek Md. Fahim Chowdhury

In metal matrix composites (MMCs) thermal stress relaxation can be achieved either by interface debonding, crack propagation or by dislocation motion. The present paper shows that in the case of magnesium matrix, interface thermal stresses are relaxed by d ...

Piecewise non-linear constant life diagram formulation for FRP composite materials

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Behzad Dehghan Manshadi

A new formulation for predicting an asymmetric, piecewise non-linear constant life diagram (CLD) is introduced in this paper. The development of the new model is based on the representation of the fatigue data on the stress ratio (R)-stress amplitude (σa) ...

An oedometer for studying combined effects of temperature and suction on soils

Lyesse Laloui, Bertrand François

This paper reports the development of an advanced thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) oedometer in order to characterize the behavior of soils under combined non-isothermal and unsaturated conditions. The simultaneous control of temperature, suction and stress s ...

Analysis of the evolution of road tunnels equilibrium conditions with a convergence–confinement approach

Federica Sandrone, Vincent Labiouse

Since both lining structure and rock mass exhibit delayed behaviour, tunnel equilibrium conditions evolve with time. After discussing existing work done on different aspects of long-term tunnel behaviour, the aim of this paper is to “understand” the influe ...

Correlation of microstructural and mechanical properties in particle reinforced lead-free solders

Venkatesh Sivasubramaniam

Solders are widely used as interconnect material for the electronic industry. The solder interconnect provides both electrical contact and mechanical connection between the integrated circuit devices and their substrate. Thus solders with good reliability ...

Theory of plasticity and anelasticity due to dislocation creep through a multi-scale hierarchy of obstacles

Gérard Gremaud

The creep of a dislocation on its glide plane is essentially controlled by three different stress fields: the external applied stress, the internal stress field due to a multi-scale hierarchy of different obstacles (the structural defects acting on the dis ...
