Following Microstructures during Deformation: In situ X-ray/Neutron Diffraction and HRDIC

Helena Van Swygenhoven

The mechanical behavior of three engineering materials is studied employing in situ deformation methods. The study covers metastable austenitic steels with different stacking fault energies during multiaxial loading, a Ti-6Al-4V alloy processed by electron ...

Laue microdiffraction characterisation of as-cast and tensile deformed Al microwires

Andreas Mortensen, Steven Van Petegem, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Léa Deillon, Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

Single-crystalline cast aluminium microwires with a diameter near 15 are characterised by Laue microdiffraction. A microwire in the as-cast condition exhibits a misorientation below over a length of 500 . The measured density of geometrically necessary dis ...

In situ tension-tension strain path changes of cold-rolled Mg AZ31B

Steven Van Petegem, Helena Van Swygenhoven

The mechanical behavior of cold-rolled Mg AZ31B is studied during in-plane multiaxial loading and tension-tension strain path changes performed on cruciform samples using in situ neutron diffraction and EBSD. The results are compared with uniaxial tension ...

The interplay between deformation mechanisms in austenitic 304 steel during uniaxial and equibiaxial loading

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Wei-Neng Hsu

The preferred deformation mechanisms with respect to the load path are studied in a medium stacking fault energy 304 austenitic stainless steel that exhibits both transformation induced plasticity and twinning induced plasticity. In situ neutron diffractio ...

Time-dependent strength of concrete in compression and shear

Darko Tasevski

Sustained load actions are permanently present in concrete structures, as for example self-weight and dead loads on bridges or soil pressure on cut-and-cover tunnels. These actions may increase throughout a structure's lifetime, for instance after refurbis ...

Thermal Activation, Intermittency and Size Effects in the Plastic Deformation of Cast Aluminium Microwires

Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

The microcasting process is a scaled-down investment casting process in which molten metal is pressure-infiltrated and directionally solidified in water-soluble moulds. It was previously developed to produce metallic microwires with a diameter (D) between ...

Thermal activation parameters of plastic flow reveal deformation mechanisms in the CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy

William Curtin, Céline Varvenne

To reveal the operating mechanisms of plastic deformation in an FCC high-entropy alloy, the activation volumes in CrMnFeCoNi have been measured as a function of plastic strain and temperature between 77 K and 423 K using repeated load relaxation experiment ...

Investigations and numerical modeling of mechanical properties of tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 at various loading rates, temperatures and after spallation irradiation

Serafin Knitel

The reduced activation tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 is a reference steel for a structural applica-tions in fusion reactors. The first-wall and blanket materials will be subjected to high thermal and neutron fluxes and will experience very complex, ...

Micro-mechanics of 3D architectured metals synthesized by electrodeposition

Maxime Alain Baptiste Mieszala

Cellular metallic materials have emerged as a new promising class of materials due to their lightweight porous structures and advanced multi-functional properties. Originally limited to random metallic foams, modern lithography techniques have enabled the ...

Helium effects on irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of 316L austenitic stainless steel

Ignasi Villacampa Roses

The formation and growth of cracks by irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) in light water reactor internals is a critical issue for a safe long-term operation of nuclear power plants. The IASCC susceptibility at relatively low dose is dom ...

Tensile viscous response of Strain Hardening UHPFRC under high restraint and isothermal conditions

Emmanuel Denarié, Mohamed Abdul Hafiz

Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) have a high elastic limit (around 10 MPa) and high tensile strength (upto 20 MPa) and exhibit significant strain hardening (1 to 4 %) under tensile loads. These appealing featur ...
