Turbine disc is one such component which experiences stresses at high temperature and accumulates life critical cyclic damage in the material during usage. This accumulation of cyclic damage results into significant deterioration in material strength which in turn may initiate the failure in these rotating components. This necessitates the need to develop an advanced lifing approach for fatigue life assessment of turbine disc. As there are no available standards for damage mechanics application, an attempt has been made in the present study to develop a methodology for application of damage mechanics approach to model high temperature fatigue damage evolution in a turbine disc Superalloy. High temperature (650oC) stress-controlled fatigue tests on turbine disc alloy have been performed to evaluate parameters for damage mechanics based models. Using this approach, damage evolution has been simulated at specimen level. A good correlation has been observed in the damage mechanics based model’s predicted damage and experimentally determined values.","PeriodicalId":11043,"journal":{"name":"Defence Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136179457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Crystal structure studies are performed by using X-ray Diffraction technique (XRD) and the Rietveld analysis of XRD patterns confirms the co-existence of cubic (NFO) and rhombohedral (NBT) symmetry with Fd- 3m and R3c space groups, respectively. Micro-structural study reveals the formation of combination of composite phases and its inter-coupling grains. The average grain sizes and area percentage of each phase for the composites are calculated using Image J software. The Magnetisation versus Magnetic field (M-H) hysteresis loops show soft magnetic behavior of composites with variation in Saturation magnetization (MS) and Coercivity (HC). A maximum MS (34 emu/g) and low HC (15 Oe) is obtained for (80) NFO - (20) NBT composite.The Polarization – Electric field (P-E) analysis shows that the maximum saturation polarization (PS) is obtained for (60)NBT-(40)NFO sample and is attributed to the leakage current generated by conductive NFO phase. The coupling between the ferrite and ferroelectric phase is studied based on the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient(αME). The maximum (αME) of 1.82 mV/cm-Oe is obtained for (80)NBT -(20)NFO sample and this is almost 80% higher than the previously published literature on NBT-NFO composites. This can be attributed to the uniform distribution of grains with each ferroelectric phase surrounded by ferrite phase as shown in the morphological study.","PeriodicalId":11043,"journal":{"name":"Defence Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136179610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The basic alloy with 0.01C contains only a ferrite phase, however, the alloys with higher carbon content have a significant quantity of κ-carbide precipitates.

Tensile elongation, on the other hand, has decreased dramatically (26 to 12 percent) with increasing carbon content The reduction in ductility with increasing carbon is mainly ascribed to the increasing κ-carbide precipitates volume fraction with higher hardness, but not due to the environmental embrittlement as observed in case of higher Al containing steels.","PeriodicalId":11043,"journal":{"name":"Defence Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136179461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially in the case of advanced steels that are required in the form of plates of various thicknesses, hot rolling is the main manufacturing process during which the steel undergoes DRX under the rolls and SRX between rolling passes/strands. Knowledge on DRX and SRX characteristics of such steels is crucial for optimisation of hot rolling parameters,achieving the desired microstructure and consequently the targeted mechanical properties.In this study, certain key aspects of both dynamic (DRX) and static recrystallisation (SRX) behaviour of aCu-bearing HSLA steel, which was developed at DMRL, have been explored through high temperature deformation studies using Gleeble thermo-mechanical simulator. Through uniaxial compression testing in the austenitic regime, domains of continuous and discontinuous DRX prevalent in the steel were identified and critical parameters for initiation of dynamic recrystallisation viz., critical strain (ec), critical stress (sc), peak stress (sp) and peak strain (ep) were determined as a function of temperature and strain rate. SRX characteristics were assessed through uniaxial double hit compression tests with fixed strain rate and strain per hit but at different temperatures and with different imposed intermediate static recrystallisation (ISRT) times. From the fractional softening data, parameters such as time for 50% recrystallisation, t0.5, temperature for 50% recrystallisation, T0.5, and activation energy, QSRX have been estimated.Although the steel exhibited good plastic deformation characteristics, the results suggest that the role of copper in retarding recrystallisation is significant.","PeriodicalId":11043,"journal":{"name":"Defence Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136179613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

 This study presents the effect of aging on microstructure, texture, mechanical and ballistic properties of AA-7017 aluminium alloy. AA-7017 alloy is subjected to three different aging namely under-aging, peak-aging and over-aging. Significant difference is observed in the mechanical properties after aging. The alloy exhibits maximum strength and hardness in the peak-aged condition. From texture measurements, it is noticed that the overall intensity of orientation distribution function increases from under-aged to peak-aged condition. The AA-7017 aged plates are impacted with 7.62 mm steel core projectiles at 820±10 m/s to evaluate the ballistic performance. It is noticed that AA-7017 alloy displays best ballistic resistance in peak-aged condition. Distorted material flow lines and adiabatic shear band induced cracking is detected in post ballistic microstructure. The ballistic performance of AA-7017 alloy is correlated with the variations in the microstructure and mechanical properties with aging

Maintenance personnel routinely transfer this sensor data to a ground terminal device to analyze it for aircraft health and performance monitoring purposes. Manual methods of extracting sensor data can be tedious and error-prone when large fleets of aircraft are involved. This paper presents a novel system to extract sensor data from aircraft to a ground terminal, wirelessly. The wireless system is implemented using unique, configurable wireless transmitter receivers (WTRs) designed for this purpose. The hardware for the wireless transfer of data was designed, interfaced with a modern aircraft’s system, and tested with the aircraft on the ground and another flying object. The data from the aircraft’s Flight Data Recorder was successfully transmitted and received wirelessly by the ground terminal, over a distance of 50 meters (with aircraft on ground) and 10 Kilometers (with a flying object), in a secure mode with zero packet loss.
