Such data find use, e.g., in FRP materials’ development, materials’ selection, assessment of durability, or structural design. Round robins during test development yielded repeatability and reproducibility (coefficients of variation) of roughly 10 to 25%. This scatter has several different sources. Intrinsic material variability amounts to a few percent at best, at least for advanced manufacturing processes. This intrinsic scatter is essential for material comparisons and structural design. Measurement resolution specified in standardised test procedures yields a maximum of 4–5% variability. Most of the remaining scatter comes from other, extrinsic sources. Test operator actions, e.g., choice of test set-up, manual data acquisition or data analysis can yield extrinsic scatter. Damage mechanisms during delamination initiation and propagation act on the micro- and meso-scale, typically a few micrometer to a few hundred micrometer in size, with corresponding time-scales estimated to between a few tens of nanoseconds and a few microseconds. Defect size-scales are hence several orders of magnitudes lower than test specimen and structural scales, respectively. Predictive capability of models using such test data for structures are, therefore, limited. Major issues are up-scaling from straight beam-like specimens to larger shell-like structures, possibly with complex shape and varying thickness as well as from unidirectional fibre orientation to multidirectional lay-ups.","PeriodicalId":20630,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part L: Journal of Materials: Design and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142255203","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}

Fundamental research aims to develop thick-wire GMAW into a high-efficiency method by identifying the limits of welding performance and achievable deposition rates. Current gaps in understanding include equipment requirements, process properties, application fields, and weld quality. The research project addresses these gaps through systematic investigations of basic technological analyses, application sample welding, and quality evaluations. The objective was to create a robust, cost-efficient gas-shielded high-performance welding technology with deposition rates comparable to Submerged Arc Welding. The fully mechanized, automatic welding setup included two parallel-connected welding power sources, one wire feeder and one high-power welding torch. Welding parameters and conditions were evaluated with the aim of achieving a high-quality weld. Optimal parameters were identified for one-sided single-pass welding on 20 mm thick plates. Validation of thick-wire GMAW for 20 mm thick high-strength steels was conducted via two-sided single-pass welding on S690Q grade plates. Testing of the weld joint included static tensile strength test (3x tensile specimen), a Charpy impact test at −40 °C (6x Charpy V-notch specimens respectively with notch position in weld metal, base material and heat-affected zone (HAZ)), microstructure examination and a hardness test. The lowest recorded impact energy was observed to be 50 J within the weld metal, in combination with hardness peaks in the HAZ reaching 415 HV1, and all tensile specimens failing outside the HAZ within the base material. The process achieved reliable, reproducible, and economical joint welding, meeting necessary mechanical-technological quality standards. The paper enhances the understanding of selected welding techniques tor thick plate joining and offers valuable industrial insights, demonstrating the technique's applicability and feasibility for high-strength applications.","PeriodicalId":20630,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part L: Journal of Materials: Design and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142255204","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}

This study investigates the potential of GO to enhance the performance of asphalt concrete (AC) with a nominal maximum aggregate size of 12.5 mm (AC_12.5) pavements, a commonly used material in highway construction that has not been extensively studied with GO modification. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of varying GO content (1%, 1.5%, and 2%) on the key technical properties of AC_12.5, including rutting resistance, moisture stability, and tensile capacity. A series of performance tests, including Marshall stability, residual stability, splitting tensile strength, and dynamic modulus, were conducted on AC_12.5 samples with varying GO content. Furthermore, a mechanistic– empirical (M-E) approach was employed to compare the rutting resistance of GO-modified pavements with that of conventional pavements. Initial findings suggest that GO incorporation significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of AC_12.5 compared with the control mixture. Performance tests indicated improved rutting resistance, moisture stability, and tensile capacity. The M– E analysis demonstrated superior rutting resistance in the GO-modified pavement structures. The findings confirm the potential of GO as a promising nanomaterial for enhancing the performance of AC_12.5 pavements. The observed improvements in key mechanical properties and rutting resistance suggest its feasibility for developing more durable, sustainable, and cost-effective roads in the future.","PeriodicalId":20630,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part L: Journal of Materials: Design and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198194","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}

To address this, polymer composites are incorporating various bio-waste materials as filler components. This study focuses on fabricating four-layered hybrid polyester laminates using kenaf (K), glass (G), and reinforced with fish scale (FS) powder at concentrations ranging from 5 wt.% to 15 wt.%. Mechanical properties are assessed following ASTM standards to evaluate the optimal FS filler percentage. The results reflect that the KGKG laminate with 15 wt. % FS exhibits utmost tensile strength and hardness, while the same laminate with 10 wt. % FS shows optimal flexural and impact properties. Further, numerical analysis is performed using ANSYS 19.0 software to validate the experimental findings. It is marked that, the results of numerical analysis are align intimately with the experimental data, with a deviation of 5 to 10%. Additionally, the moisture absorption behavior is investigated, and the results revealing that FS filler reduced moisture uptake and enhanced dimensional stability. Further, the study is extended to investigate the thermal attributes of laminates through Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The fractured surface morphology are studied through Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) and the findings reveal significant occurrences of matrix cracking, fiber withdrawal, and the separation of fibers from the matrix. Overall, this study suggests the incorporation of FS bio-fillers into hybridized kenaf/glass laminates in order to improve performance and create environmentally friendly options that suitable for automotive applications.","PeriodicalId":20630,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part L: Journal of Materials: Design and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198197","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}

An advanced three-dimensional finite element model programed in Ansys/Autodyn v19.1 is employed to verify the experimental findings and analyze the ballistic perforation characteristics of the target. The crucial material constants needed for the constitutive material model used in the simulation are acquired through precise experimentation on samples prepared from the fabricated laminates. Significant agreement is observed between the FE simulations and experimental findings, particularly concerning the assessment of residual velocities of the projectile and damage pattern in the laminates. The results of this study show that when subjected to ballistic impact by a flat-ended cylindrical projectile, the thin woven FRP composite primarily experiences damage characterized by delamination, fiber breakage and matrix cracking.

Bi metallic structure, meticulously constructed using both SS 316L and SS 304 filler wires, effectively replicates these distinctive mechanical properties, rendering it highly desirable for application prioritizing mechanical performance. The observed enhancement in strength is attributed to variations in microstructure resulting from a complex thermal history.

The work deals with the corrosion-fatigue of a high-strength low-carbon steel alloy used in mooring chains. While many studies are concerned with the nucleation of cracks starting from corrosion pits, the work deals rather with the opposite effect, i.e., how the cyclic stress may influence the nucleation and growth of pits. A range of applied cyclic stresses were applied both to cylindrical specimens and to trunk conical-shaped specimens, the corrosion degree being estimated by quantitative image analysis of the corroded surface, using the fraction of corroded area as an index. The cyclic tensile stress enhanced the nucleation/growth of pits on the surface. The corroded area in cylindrical specimens increases exponentially with the stress when the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model is considered. The trunk conical specimen geometry reveals the effect of stress for a single exposure time, an advantage compared to the cylindrical geometry, in which the effect of exposure time cannot be isolated from that of the applied stress. The extent of surface corrosion increases with the local mean stress, except for a narrow region near the crack, likely due to local cathodic protection induced by the anode inside the crack. Correlations are proposed for the stress limits corresponding to a certain reduction in corrosion-fatigue life, and for the surface corrosion damage as a function of the local SWT parameter.","PeriodicalId":20630,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part L: Journal of Materials: Design and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198199","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}
