Identification of local cyclic stress‐strain curves at material inhomogeneities on the basis of digital image correlation

Low‐cycle fatigue (LCF) tests on butt‐welded joints revealed that material inhomogeneities become decisive for the fatigue behavior at elastic‐plastic strain amplitudes and the geometrical notch is no longer the failure location – as observed in high‐cycle fatigue (HCF) regime. Digital image correlation techniques enable the measurement of local strains at the surface of the welded region. A new method is proposed that is able to calculate related local stresses and identifies local cyclic material properties in structures of inhomogeneous material and geometry. This method combines strain measurements and Finite Element simulations. It is a fast iteration procedure that is able to perform the identification within less than ten iterative steps at several hundred local points. Transient material behavior is easy to capture and an application at high temperatures is anticipated due to the method is based on materials mechanics.     

X‐ray diffraction (XRD)‐studies on the temperature dependent interface reactions on hafnium,zirconium, and nickel coated monocrystalline diamonds used in grinding segments for stone and concrete machining

Diamond impregnated metal matrix composites are the state of the art solution for the machining of mineral materials. The type of interface reactions between the metal matrix and diamond surface has an essential influence on the tool performance and durability. To improve the diamond retention, the diamonds can be coated by physical vapour deposition with metallic materials, which enforce interface reactions. Hence, this paper focuses on the investigation of the interfacial area on metal‐coated monocrystalline diamonds. Hafnium and zirconium, both known as carbide forming elements, are used as coating materials. The third coating, which is used to determine its catalytic influences when applied as a physical vapour deposition (PVD)‐layer, is nickel. Additionally, the coated diamond samples were heat‐treated to investigate the starting point of the formation of new phases. X‐ray diffraction‐analyses revealed the assumed carbide formation on hafnium and zirconium coated samples. The formation temperature was identified between 800 °C and 1000 °C for hafnium and zirconium coatings.

The experimental and numerical impacts of geometrical parameters of conical shock tube on the function,maximum pressure and generative impulses to expose equivalent mass and behavioral equation

One of the methods to investigate the phenomenon of explosion underwater and its impact on the structures is to use the conical shock tube. These tubes produce a lot of pressure using a tiny explosive charge. In this essay, the geometry of the established/manufactured explosive shock tube is demonstrated first and the results of the experiments operating the tube is presented. Then, the explosion of a given amount of explosive charge in the conical shock tube is studied by benefiting the LS‐DYNA code. The numerical simulation is done by Lagrange‐Oiler selected multi‐materials solutions. To ensure the authenticity of the selected method in the software, the results of the stimulated model is compared with the experimental outcomes accordingly, after accrediting the accuracy of the results, the stimulating and scrutinizing the effects of geometrical parameters on the function of explosive shock tubes is proceeded. In this research, the effect of the cone head angel on the produced pressure inside the shock tube is analyzed first. Then, the function of shock tubes with different lengths is checked. Moreover, after changing the scale of the explosive charge and studying the outcome, stating the reasons for changes in each parameter and examining the effect of the relation between the explosive proportion and the water volume inside the shock tube, an equation for the equivalent mass for all sock tubes with different angels is exhibited and the existing theoretical relation is revised. Finally, by examining the pressure and impulses changes in different intervals, an equation is presented to anticipate the pressure and impulses in different shock tubes.     

Dynamic fatigue behaviour of a steatite ceramic

Dynamic fatigue of a low dielectric loss steatite was investigated. To this end, the values of n and B, the so‐called subcritical crack growth (SCG) parameters were experimentally determined. The steatite exhibited the expected dynamic fatigue behaviour, so that the stress corrosion susceptibility parameter, n, of 24 was obtained. In addition, the material/environment parameter B, which is a constant for a given test environment, was also attained. These parameters are instrumental in predicting the lifetime of components under stress. When the applied load is such that the resulting strength equals half of the inert strength (σ_i), defined as the strength of a sample tested in an inert environment or at a fast stress rate, i.e. where no subcritical crack growth occurs, the time to failure (t_f) of the material was found to be ～140 h. Measurement of the fracture toughness of steatite is also of upmost importance and so it was determined using three test methods. A value of K_Ic = 1.91 ± 0.29 MPa m^1/2 was attained by the indentation fracture method through measurement of the cracks emanating from the Vickers indentation. This value is in good agreement with those determined using the K_Isc (surface crack in flexure) test method (2.21 ± 0.07 MPa m^1/2) and fractography analysis test method (2.00 ± 0.44 MPa m^1/2). Differences in test procedure and analysis causing the values from each test method to be different are discussed.
