Tensile experiments of three-dimensional needled C/C-SiC composite from room temperature to 1800℃ were performed to investigate tensile behavior. The damage characteristics and macroscopic mechanical behavior of the composite are relevant to the testing temperature and off-axis angles of the tensile loading. The tensile strength increased while the modulus decreased with the increase of temperature. A high-temperature nonlinear constitutive model was established to analyze the nonlinear stress–strain relationship of the composite. Plastic strain accumulation and stiffness degeneration were described by the plasticity and damage theories. The effect of temperature on the tensile behavior of the composite was particularly considered in this model by introducing a thermal damage variable. The proposed constitutive model can predict the stress–strain behavior of the material subjected to different off-axis tensile load, and at different temperatures. Fairly good agreement was achieved between the predicted and experimental results.

This paper compared the mechanical behavior of 6H SiC under quasi-static and dynamic compression. Rectangle specimens with a dimension of 3 × 3 × 6 mm3 were used for quasi-static compression tests under three different loading rates (i.e., 10−5/s, 10−4/s, and 10−3/s). Stress–strain response showed purely brittle behavior of the material which was further confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/transmission electron microscopy (TEM) examinations of fractured fragments. For dynamic compression, split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests were carried out for cubic specimens with a dimension of 6 × 6 × 4 mm3. Stress–strain curves confirmed the occurrence of plastic deformation under dynamic compression, and dislocations were identified from TEM studies of fractured pieces. Furthermore, JH2 model was used to simulate SHPB tests, with parameters calibrated against the experimental results. The model was subsequently used to predict strength and plasticity-related damage under various dynamic loading conditions. This study concluded that, under high loading rate, silicon carbide (SiC) can deform plastically as evidenced by the development of nonlinear stress–strain response and also the evolution of dislocations. These findings can be explored to control the brittle behavior of SiC and benefit end users in relevant industries.

Abstract Unidirectional cord-rubber specimens in the form of tensile coupons and sandwich beams were used. Using specimens with the cords oriented at 0°, 45°, and 90° to the loading direction and appropriate data reduction, we were able to obtain complete characterization for the in-plane stress-strain response of single-ply, unidirectional cord-rubber composites. All strains were measured by means of liquid mercury strain gages, for which the nonlinear strain response characteristic was obtained by calibration. Stress-strain data were obtained for the cases of both cord tension and cord compression. Materials investigated were aramid-rubber, polyester-rubber, and steel-rubber.

Abstract We discuss the nonlinear elastic response in scale invariant solids. Following previous work, we split the analysis into two basic options: according to whether scale invariance (SI) is a manifest or a spontaneously broken symmetry. In the latter case, one can employ effective field theory methods, whereas in the former we use holographic methods. We focus on a simple class of holographic models that exhibit elastic behaviour, and obtain their nonlinear stress-strain curves as well as an estimate of the elasticity bounds — the maximum possible deformation in the elastic (reversible) regime. The bounds differ substantially in the manifest or spontaneously broken SI cases, even when the same stress- strain curve is assumed in both cases. Additionally, the hyper-elastic subset of models (that allow for large deformations) is found to have stress-strain curves akin to natural rubber. The holographic instances in this category, which we dub black rubber, display richer stress- strain curves — with two different power-law regimes at different magnitudes of the strain.
