It was shown that a cellular γ/γ' microstructure was nucleated, when the material was subjected to damage associated with local plastic straining, followed by the re-heat treatments for damage recovery. Once the cellular microstructure was nucleated inside the material, the fatigue strength was remarkably reduced, hence the cellular γ/γ' microstructure might be a very serious hurdle to be solved. Special efforts were made to explore the method to reduce and prevent the unfavorable effect due to the cellular microstructure and to detect it nondestructively. The experiments indicated that the application of the surface modification technique, or protective metallic coating, on the superalloys, was found to be a possible method. It was also indicated indirectly that the control of parent alloy composition could be important to reduce the harmful effects.","PeriodicalId":377759,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Research International","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122779458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specimens poled in the longitudinal, transverse and short-transverse directions were called PL, PT and PS specimens, respectively. The non-poled specimens were called NP specimens. The true stress-strain relation showed nonlinearity and was different between tension and compression. The nonlinearity of the stress and strain relation resulted from domain switching induced by external loading, and the degree of nonlinearity increased with easiness of domain switching under bending. The fracture strength expressed in terms of the nominal and true stresses followed the Weibull distribution. The shape parameter took a large value around 18 to 22 for PT and PS specimens, while it was the smallest around 7 to 8 for PL specimens. NP specimens took values in between. The mean strength was the largest for NP specimen and was the lowest for PL specimen. Domain switching during loading will relieve local stress concentrations of defects within the material, thus increases the strength and the shape parameter. The change in intensity ratio of the 002 to 200 diffractions can be used to assess the degree of domain switching caused by external straining.","PeriodicalId":377759,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Research International","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116527439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The residual stress of crack-free Cr layers deposited by pulse-current electrolysis was evaluated by the X-ray diffraction method. With changing pulse conditions, various residual stresses were measured. The specimen in which initial compressive residual stress of the Cr layer exceeded -150MPa did not form macrocracks after holding at 473K for 2h, and showed a high corrosion resistance without rusting even after a 700h neutral salt spray test (NSST). The amount of change in the residual stress as a result of heat treatment correlated with the integral breadth of the diffraction profile, and became smaller and more stable with heat treatment as the integral breadth became narrower.","PeriodicalId":377759,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Research International","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128041013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A specimen containing only one grain was cut from a grain-oriented silicon steel, and was irradiated with a laser. The distributions of the residual stresses and those of the half value width (HVW) of the diffraction profile, which indicates the plastic strain level near the laser-irradiated line, were measured before and after the stress-relief annealing, and their magnetic domain structures were observed. Before annealing, the HVW was increased near the laser-irradiated line, since the local plastic deformation was induced by the peening effect of the laser irradiation and the process of melting, cooling, and contraction after the laser irradiation. Therefore, the tensile residual stresses were induced near the laser-irradiated line. Next, the magnetic domains were refined more than they were before the laser irradiation. After annealing, the HVW was constant at the initial value, and the residual stresses were relieved. The magnetic domain then returned to its original width. Therefore, it was confirmed that the magnetic domain was refined due to the residual stress induced by the laser irradiation.","PeriodicalId":377759,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Research International","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129482039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the FORM is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem. However, it is difficult to find the design point, when the limit state surface has several local minimum points such as a case of the laminated composite plate subject to the first ply failure. In general, the original tunneling method is not worked well for the constraint problem. In this study, a new tunneling function suitable for the FORM is proposed to find the other design point which has a lower objective function value and satisfies the equality constraint. In the tunneling function, the limit state function is treated as a kind of a penalty term with a pole. Through the reliability analysis of a laminated composite plate subject to in-plane loads, the efficiency of the proposed tunneling function is demonstrated.

In this study, the residual stress produced in the joint-cooling process is analyzed and 4-point bending tests are carried out. From the viewpoint of experimental observations and fracture mechanics, the effects of interlayer thickness on joint strength in ceramic/metal joints are discussed considering the superimposed stress distribution of the residual stress and the bending stress. Joint strength is then estimated based on fracture mechanics and fracture probability considering the superimposed stress, crack size and position of pre-existing defects in the ceramics. The optimum interlayer thickness for the present specimen is identified, and the estimation method is extended to the analysis of generic joint strength using normalized strength of ceramic by expressing joint strength in terms of normalized strength considering the scatter of joint strength and the effective volume.","PeriodicalId":377759,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Research International","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124813825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the proposed model, mechanical behaviors of the composites follows the Curtin's assumptions, of which validity was examined by a FEM analysis. The proposed model is based on a Markov process, in which it is assumed that a damage state in the composite is developed with each fiber breakage. When the Weibull distribution is used as a strength distribution of the fiber, the probability of being in each state is analytically solved as a function of stress. The expected value and variance in the composite stress were then estimated from the probabilities of being in states. Furthermore, the maximum stress of the expected value, i.e. the strength, is predicted together with the coefficient of variation. The results showed that, even if broken fibers are imperfectly recovered in stress along the fiber-axis from the breakage points, the composite exhibits a higher strength and reliability than that of a dry bundle. Finally, it is concluded that stress recovery in broken fibers is a significant mechanism to determine the strength and reliability of the composites.","PeriodicalId":377759,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Research International","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127890941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
