Impulse Force

Microcracks of depth less than 200 μm in mechanical components are difficult to detect because conventional methods such as X-ray or eddy current measurements are less sensitive to such depths. Nonetheless, an efficient microcrack detection method is required urgently in the mechanical industry because microcracks are produced frequently during cold-forming. The frequency response function (FRF) is known to be highly sensitive even to microcracks, and it can be obtained using both the input data of an impact hammer and the response data of an accelerometer. Under the assumption of an impulse force with a similar spectral impulse pattern, spectral response data alone could be used as a crack indicator because the dynamic characteristics of a microcrack may be dependent solely on these measured data. This study investigates the feasibility of microcrack detection using the response data alone through impact tests with a simple rectangular specimen. A simple rectangular specimen with a 200 μm microcrack at one face was prepared. The experimental modal analysis was conducted for the normal (uncracked) specimen and found-first bending mode about 1090 Hz at the X-Y plane (in-plane). Response accelerations were obtained in both at in-plane locations as well as X-Z plane (out-of-plane), and the crack was detected using the coherence function between a normal and a cracked specimen. A comparison of the crack inspection results obtained using the response data and the FRF data indicated the validity of the proposed method.

Load Displacement

In order to study the mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) at different ages, 264 standard cubes were designed to test its direct shear strength and cube compressive strength while considering the parameters of age and recycled aggregate replacement ratio. The failure pattern and load–displacement curve of specimens at direct shearing were obtained; the direct shear strength and residual shear strength were extracted from the load–displacement curves. Experimental results indicate that the influence of the replacement ratio for the front and side cracks of RAC is insignificant, with the former being straight and the latter relatively convoluted. At the age of three days, the damaged interface between aggregate and mortar is almost completely responsible for concrete failure; in addition to the damage of coarse aggregates, aggregate failure is also an important factor in concrete failure at other ages. The load–displacement curve of RAC at direct shearing can be divided into elasticity, elastoplasticity, plasticity, and stabilization stages. The brittleness of concrete decreases with its age, which is reflected in the gradual shortening of the elastoplastic stage. At 28 days of age, the peak direct shear force increases with the replacement ratio, while the trend is opposite at ages of 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days, respectively. The residual strength of RAC decreases inversely to the replacement ratio, with the rate of decline growing over time. A two-parameter RAC direct shear strength calculation formula was established based on the analysis of age and replacement rate to peak shear force of RAC. The relationship between cube compressive strength and direct shear strength of recycled concrete at various ages was investigated.

Indenter Geometry

ABSTRACTNanoindentation experiments were performed on single crystals of (100) Si using a series of triangular pyramidal indenters with centerline-to-face angles in the range 35.3° to 85.0°. The influences of the indenter geometry on cracking and phase transformation during indentation were systematically studied. Although reducing the indenter angle reduces the threshold load for cracking and increases the crack lengths, c, at a given indention load, P, the frequently observed relation between P and c3/2 is maintained for all of the indenters over a wide range of load. Features in the nanoindentation load-displacement curves in conjunction with Raman spectroscopy of the crystalline and amorphous phases in and around the contact impression show that the indenter geometry also plays a role in the phase transformation behavior. Results are discussed in relation to prevailing ideas about indentation cracking and phase transformation in silicon.

Wall ironing has been analyzed using an elastic-plastic finite element technique. The effects that the ironing ring semi-cone angle and friction have on the maximum reduction ratio are studied in detail. Stress contours are given for a typical set of operating parameters. Several ram load/displacement curves are provided and compared with upper and lower bound loads.
