Fatigue tests show a 20% reduction in fatigue limits compared to similar sheet material. On the fractures of the samples, there are flock-like defects in the areas of interface of the flanges of the I-beam, or the so-called zones of difficult deformation. The concentration of metallurgical hydrogen is unevenly distributed and varies from 0.17 ppm to 1.8 ppm. Large concentrations of hydrogen are observed in the zones of difficult deformation, which indicates the hydrogen nature of the metal defects observed at the fracture. The result of mechanical tests and hydrogen diagnostics is a manufacturing defect of rolled products that cannot be corrected. Hydrogen diagnostics using metallurgical hydrogen (without hydrogen charging samples) takes tens of times less time than mechanical tests, and gives an adequate result.","PeriodicalId":38546,"journal":{"name":"Frattura ed Integrita Strutturale","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41914032","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}

Also, the line heating principle ensured more uniform thermal patterns, and the proper choice of scan speed and field of view allows the selection of optimal time delays and the creation of maps of defects at different depths.

We discuss two data processing possibilities: symphonious filter as the hardware one and power spectrum calculation as digital one. We consider the two case of earth-fill dams state investigations. There are the Chiryurt HPP dam (Republic of Dagestan, Russia, 9.5 m high) and the Nurek HPP dam (Tajikistan, 300 m high). We show the possibilities of seismic express investigations using signals of main frequencies produced by HPP turbine for dam sounding. For Chiryurt dam the extra fluid filtering in the central part of the dam was revealed.

An IDS camera captures several photos of the PVC surface as part of the image analysis procedure. All relevant data on crack initiation and propagation is collected and assessed using ImageJ software using image processing methods for detecting cracks. However, the second procedure involves a developed algorithm detecting the discontinuity using digital image correlation (DIC) measurement. Although, because of the experimental conditions, the acquisition of images by the digital camera is never perfect. This noise comes from several sources, including the digital camera, image distortion due to lens magnification or lens angle, the shape and size of the pattern, and electronic noise; ... This article discusses image enhancement methods to overcome these objectionable characteristics using and comparing several filters: Gaussian, median, and Unsharp Mask filters. The performance of the Gaussian filter is better than the Median and Unsharp mask filters. This research demonstrates that DIC is an effective technique for monitoring deformation and understanding the failure mechanism with the best-suited filter.","PeriodicalId":38546,"journal":{"name":"Frattura ed Integrita Strutturale","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49038889","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 inverse problem of determining the conditions at the horizontal boundaries of a coal-bed is formulated and solved using tomography data (longitudinal wave velocity V distribution) and the empirical dependence of V on the mean normal stress σ. Lab tests results on stepwise compression of parallelepipeds made of artificial geomaterials are presented. Tomography of the specimens was performed by acoustic sounding data, and the distribution of velocities V* was found. Using the pre-established empirical dependence V(σ) for geomaterial, the distribution σ*=V-1(V*) in the specimen was calculated, which served as input data for inverse problem of determining the shear stresses σxy at the “specimen faces – press platens” joints. Lab data inversion confirmed the possibility of identifying weak zones of the boundaries where σxy=0. These zones are associated with probable nucleus of failure and sudden outbursts.","PeriodicalId":38546,"journal":{"name":"Frattura ed Integrita Strutturale","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45898103","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}

Thus, additively manufactured ABS samples are subjected to tensile tests Made for different thicknesses of specimens by subtracting layer by layer. The mechanical behavior of the layers and the adherence between the layers are studied in this paper. The deposition of the layers is modeled as a laminated material. The delamination effect on the resistance of printed material is evaluated experimentally by comparing the mechanical characteristics of homogenously printed specimens, and laminated layers gathered together. Thus, the global resistance is reduced significantly due to the lack of adherence. Besides, crack growth, and critical intensity factor investigation are based on damage and rupture mechanics theories. Furthermore, the results allowed us to evaluate the energy behavior of the 3D printed material subjected to static loads and subsequently predict the evolution of the damage and find out the impact of layers' delamination. Indeed, we determined three stages of damage along with the critical life fraction leading to the failure of the specimen.","PeriodicalId":38546,"journal":{"name":"Frattura ed Integrita Strutturale","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45821269","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}

From an experimental standpoint, the ductile fracture of the 2017A-T4 aluminum alloy is investigated under compressive load. Two cross-sections of solid and hollow specimens are considered. The mechanical behavior and the microstructure of the 2017A-T4 aluminum alloy were characterized. It is found that the well-known barrel shape is obtained when a compressive load is applied. Analyses of fracture topographies show a ductile fracture with dimples under tension and coexistence of ductile fracture with dimples and slant under compression. The classical physically-based Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model and its extension to incorporate shear mechanisms to predict failure at low-stress triaxiality are considered. These two models have been extended to take into account the thermal heating effect induced by the mechanical dissipation within the material during the metal forming process. The two models have been implemented into the finite element code Abaqus/Explicit using a Vectorized User MATerial (VUMAT) subroutine. Numerical simulations of the forging process made for hollow and solid cylindrical specimens show good agreement with experimental results. In contrast with the GTN model, the modified GTN model incorporating shear mechanisms can capture the final material failure.","PeriodicalId":38546,"journal":{"name":"Frattura ed Integrita Strutturale","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44867739","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}

Three different cases: non-defective pipe, wall loss defective pipe and composite repaired of defective pipe are considered. It was found that the numerical results are in good agreement with the analytical results in all the three cases. The theoretical failure pressure determined by ISO/TS 24817 standard for wall loss defect pipe is highly conservative compared to the numerical failure pressure for the given composite repair thickness. Additionally, the numerical study on optimization of repair thickness revealed that lower composite repair thickness can also sustain the designed failure pressure (composite repair thickness of 8.4 mm can sustain the same designed pressure instead of 16.1 mm thickness), which implies there is scope to further reduce the composite thickness, which ultimately reduce the repair cost.","PeriodicalId":38546,"journal":{"name":"Frattura ed Integrita Strutturale","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43240319","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}
