With the flexural loading increases, matrix cracking occurs on the tensile side initially, and the local stress concentration leads to matrix cracking, interlayer debonding and fiber breakage on the compressive side of materials. Different from traditional 2D braided composite, when matrix fracture occurs, a matrix crack propagates in matrix enrichment regions perpendicular to fiber tows, with local deflection near the fiber/matrix interface surfaces, its propagation is diffused into sinuous fractures, and finally present a H-shaped path feature. This processes dissipate strain energy, resulting in enhancing composites fracture toughness. By using continuum damage mechanics and thermodynamic framework with synergetic effects of microstructure, asymmetric tension and compression load on both sides of the material, the flexural loading-induced damage is characterized by the reduction of the macroscopic effective elastic modulus, and a synergetic damage evolution model is established, which reveals the relationship between energy release rate and elastic modulus degradation, and can be used to predict the flexural stress-strain curves of the 3D textile SiC/SiC composites, further to improve the design and assessment of new textile architecture with specific mechanical properties.","PeriodicalId":15700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47230941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrochemical hydrogen charging method was utilized and diffusion length of hydrogen inside Al 7075 was modeled. Material characterizations were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX) and microstructural observations of hydrogen uncharged and hydrogen charged specimens were performed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). As opposed to previous studies hydrogen embrittlement was more pronounced at high strain rate case. Moreover, hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity was the more dominant hydrogen embrittlement mechanism at slower strain rate but coexistence of hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity and hydrogen enhanced decohesion was observed at a medium strain rate. Overall, the current findings shed light on the complicated hydrogen embrittlement behavior of Al 7075 and constitute an efficient guideline for the usage of Al 7075 that can be subject to different strain rate loadings in service.","PeriodicalId":15700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47289794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, determination of the individual microstructure phase stress strain curves is experimentally intensive and difficult to measure. Furthermore, these curves were also affected by heat treatment processes, chemical composition, and the percentage of individual microstructure phases. The objective of this paper is to develop and validate the Micromechanical Adaptive Iteration Algorithm to calculate the individual ferrite and martensite plastic behavior for dual phase (DP) steel. This method requires a minimum of three experimental stress-strain curves from the same material with three different martensite volume fractions (Vm). Two of the stress-strain curves with different Vm is required to initialize the iteration algorithm to predict the individual plastic behavior of ferrite and martensite. The third stress strain curve was used to validate the plastic behavior of individual ferrite and martensite for the given DP steel. Following on from here, the proposed algorithm was validated with two different grades of DP steel with 0.088%C and 0.1%C. Validation results shows that the approach has consistent prediction capabilities and the maximum difference observed between predicted and experimental results was 6.5%. The simulated results also shows that the degree of strain partitioning between ferrite and martensite decreases with increasing volumetric fraction of martensite (Vm).","PeriodicalId":15700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43832810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transformation temperatures, determined by differential scanning calorimetry indicate that addition of vanadium reduces the transformation temperatures. Corrosion studies were carried out in Hanks’ solution, while potentiodynamic polarization tests were done to calculate the rate of corrosion of the alloys. Two significant parameters were analyzed from Tafel graph, namely, corrosion rate and corrosion potential. A comparison of these properties of the alloys was also made with commercially pure titanium and binary NiTi alloys. Among the NiTiV alloys, Ni50Ti47V3 (at.%) alloy was found to undergo the least rate of corrosion. With increasing vanadium content, the rate of corrosion was found to decrease.

The weld thinning issue was almost eliminated in the preheated welded specimen. However, by increasing the preheat temperature further, the tensile strength decreases due to the formation of defects from excessive heat.

Depending on the distribution of IGMA, one significant discovery from this study is that all the basal, prismatic, and pyramidal slip systems would be activated. Considering the effective slip models, Schmid factors, and the Euler angles together, it is suggested that the dominant slip systems not only desired the largest Schmid factors but strongly demand continuous Schmid factors among the adjacent grains. Meanwhile, the estimated critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) on basal<a> and prismatic<a> at the temperature of 920°C with the strain rate of 10−3/s is given. An original method of roughly estimating dominant slip models with Euler angles has been introduced, which predicts that grain rotation may change the slip model. Furthermore, Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Method (CPFEM) is employed to simulate the evolution of Euler angles, and the grain orientation presents the largest set of significant clusters around the (1 100) after deformation. Besides, the continuity of the Schmid factor assumption for the activated slip model has also been verified by CPFEM. In addition, the eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue λ1=1 of Euler angle rotation matrix is calculated to be aligned with the grain rotation axis, which can be applied to describe the grain rotation.","PeriodicalId":15700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45132724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tensile testing CNTY yields a specific strength of 0.21–0.34 N/tex, and a specific elastic modulus of 3.59–8.06 N/tex, depending on the gage length. While the strength is weakly sensitive to the gage length, the elastic modulus depends on the gage length. The importance of subtracting the machine compliance for determination of CNTY's elastic modulus is highlighted, since the error can reach up to 28%. Dynamic mechanical analysis shows that the CNTY is a stiff material with an extraordinary high damping ratio, which increases with temperature and reach ~0.6 at 60 °C.
