Micromechanics of oxide inclusions in ferrous alloys

Alejandra Inés Slagter

Oxide inclusions are inevitably present in steel as a direct consequence of the steelmaking process; as a result, a cubic centimetre of modern steel will generally contain about a million of these hard and brittle micrometre-sized ceramic particles. Inclus ...

Mechanical properties of a balsa wood veneer structural sandwich core material

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Niloufar Vahedi

Balsa wood is an appropriate core material for structural sandwich applications due to its high strength- and stiffness-to-weight ratios. However, the mechanical properties vary considerably owing to the inherent scattering of natural wood materials. One a ...

Depth-dependent mechanical properties of human articular cartilage obtained by indentation measurements

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Robin Martin, Jens Antons

Emerging 3D printing technology permits innovative approaches to manufacture cartilage scaffolds associated with layer-by-layer mechanical property adaptation. However, information about gradients of mechanical properties in human articular cartilage is li ...

Low Carbon Pathways for Structural Design

Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

To avoid an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, a depletion of resources, and waste accumulation, structural engineers have a major role to play in low carbon structural design. For example, cement- based materials represent one-third of all materials ex ...

Structural, tribo-mechanical, and thermal properties of NbAlN coatings with various Al contents deposited by DC reactive magnetron sputtering

Silviu Cosmin Sandu

DC reactive magnetron sputtered Nb2AlyNx coatings with various Al contents (y/(y + z)) ranging from 0 to 0.75 were deposited using different ratios of the currents applied to the Al and Nb targets in order to systematically control their chemical compositi ...

Hot deformation of a Fe-Mn-Al-C steel susceptible of κ-carbide precipitation

Roland Logé

The mechanical properties of Fe-Mn-Al-C steel are significantly enhanced after κ-carbide precipitation via aging; however, most aging treatments are energy demanding because they require relatively high temperatures and extended holding times. This researc ...

Hollow Cylinder Tests on Boom Clay: Modelling of Strain Localization in the Anisotropic Excavation Damaged Zone

Vincent Labiouse, Bertrand François

Boom Clay is extensively studied as a potential candidate to host underground nuclear waste disposal in Belgium. To guarantee the safety of such a disposal, the mechanical behaviour of the clay during gallery excavation must be properly predicted. In that ...

On determination of the constitutive behavior of tempered martensitic steels from micro-indentations: Application to Eurofer97 steel

Philippe Spätig, Nazar Ilchuk

This paper proposes a simple but powerful approach to determine the constitutive equation of tempered martensitic steels from micro-hardness tests. Finite element simulations were used to investigate the plastic flow in the contact region between the tip a ...

Indentation fracture of gallium arsenide

Cédric Pouvreau

The scribe and break technique (or dicing) is a widely employed method in the industry of semiconductors to separate infrared laser diodes made from gallium arsenide (GaAs). The scribing step allows to create a precursor crack which is then propagated duri ...

Large Scale Tests on Bridge Slabs Cantilevers Subjected to Traffic Loads

Aurelio Muttoni, Olivier Burdet, Rui Vaz Rodrigues

To improve the reduced available experimental data on the load capacity of full scale bridge deck slabs, 3 tests on a large scale bridge cantilever (10 x 4.2 m) were done. The cantilevers were tested under 4, 2 and 1 concentrated loads simulating traffic w ...

Effects of irradiation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of nanostructured materials

Robin Schäublin

Nanostructured materials should present a good resistance to irradiation because the large volume fraction of grain boundaries can be an important sink for radiation-induced defects. The objective of the present study is to experimentally investigate the i ...
