An alternative, improved method to determine mechanical properties from indentation testing is presented. This method can determine the elastic modulus, yield strength and equi-biaxial residual stress from one simple test. Furthermore, the technique does not require the knowledge of the contact area during indentation, a parameter that is hard to determine for highly elastic material. The evaluation technique is based on finite element analyses, where explicit formulations are established to correlate the parameter groups governing indentation on stressed specimens.

The pore structures on mechanical properties of porous Ti were investigated by 3D finite element models. Calculated elastic modulus and yield strength suggested that square-pore models exhibit lower modulus and higher strength compared with another two kinds of shapes (circle and hexagonal). In addition, under the condition of medium porosity (58.96%), integrated property was found in square-pore model which elastic modulus was 26.97GPa, less than 1/3 of hexagonal-pore model; while the yield strength maintained 63.82MPa, doubled the figure of circle-pore model. Thus, models with square-pore structures show potential perspective as hard tissue replacements. Investigation on anisotropy of microstructure implies that the elastic modulus was affected more intensively than the yield strength.

Most studies investigating human lumbar vertebral trabecular bone (HVTB) mechanical property–density relationships have presented results for the superior–inferior (SI), or “on-axis” direction. Equivalent, directly measured data from mechanical testing in the transverse (TR) direction are sparse and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) density-dependent variations in the anisotropy ratio of HVTB have not been adequately studied. The current study aimed to investigate the dependence of HVTB mechanical anisotropy ratio on QCT density by quantifying the empirical relationships between QCT-based apparent density of HVTB and its apparent compressive mechanical properties— elastic modulus (Eapp), yield strength (σy), and yield strain (εy)—in the SI and TR directions for future clinical QCT-based continuum finite element modeling of HVTB. A total of 51 cylindrical cores (33 axial and 18 transverse) were extracted from four L1 human lumbar cadaveric vertebrae. Intact vertebrae were scanned in a clinical resolution computed tomography (CT) scanner prior to specimen extraction to obtain QCT density, ρCT. Additionally, physically measured apparent density, computed as ash weight over wet, bulk volume, ρapp, showed significant correlation with ρCT [ρCT = 1.0568 × ρapp, r = 0.86]. Specimens were compression tested at room temperature using the Zetos bone loading and bioreactor system. Apparent elastic modulus (Eapp) and yield strength (σy) were linearly related to the ρCT in the axial direction [ESI = 1493.8 × (ρCT), r = 0.77, p < 0.01; σY,SI = 6.9 × (ρCT) − 0.13, r = 0.76, p < 0.01] while a power-law relation provided the best fit in the transverse direction [ETR = 3349.1 × (ρCT)1.94, r = 0.89, p < 0.01; σY,TR = 18.81 × (ρCT)1.83, r = 0.83, p < 0.01]. No significant correlation was found between εy and ρCT in either direction. Eapp and σy in the axial direction were larger compared to the transverse direction by a factor of 3.2 and 2.3, respectively, on average. Furthermore, the degree of anisotropy decreased with increasing density. Comparatively, εy exhibited only a mild, but statistically significant anisotropy: transverse strains were larger than those in the axial direction by 30%, on average. Ability to map apparent mechanical properties in the transverse direction, in addition to the axial direction, from CT-based densitometric measures allows incorporation of transverse properties in finite element models based on clinical CT data, partially offsetting the inability of continuum models to accurately represent trabecular architectural variations.

The double V-wing honeycomb can be applied in many fields because of its lower mass and higher performance. In this study, the volume, in-plane elastic modulus and unit cell area of the double V-wing honeycomb were analytically derived, which became parts of the theoretical basis of the novel equivalent method. Based on mass, plateau load, in-plane elastic modulus, compression strain and energy absorption of the double V-wing honeycomb, a novel equivalent method mapping relationship between the thickness–width ratio and the basic parameters was established. The various size factor of the equivalent honeycomb model was denoted as n and constructed by the explicit finite element analysis method. The mechanical properties and energy absorption performance for equivalent honeycombs were investigated and compared with hexagonal honeycombs under dynamic impact. Numerical results showed a well coincidence for each honeycomb under dynamic impact before 0.009 s. Honeycombs with the same thickness–width ratio had similar mechanical properties and energy absorption characteristics. The equivalent method was verified by theoretical analysis, finite element analysis and experimental testing. Equivalent honeycombs exceeded the initial honeycomb in performance efficiency. Improvement of performance and weight loss reached 173.9% and 13.3% to the initial honeycomb. The double V-wing honeycomb possessed stronger impact resistance and better load-bearing capacity than the hexagonal honeycomb under impact in this study. The equivalent method could be applied to select the optimum honeycomb based on requirements and improve the efficiency of the double V-wing honeycomb.

Laboratory fatigue life results are summarized from several test series of high-strength steel cannon breech closure assemblies pressurized by rapid application of hydraulic oil. The tests were performed to determine safe fatigue lives of high-pressure components at the breech end of the cannon and breech assembly. Careful reanalysis of the fatigue life tests provides data for stress and fatigue life models for breech components, over the following ranges of key parameters: 380–745 MPa cyclic internal pressure; 100–160 mm bore diameter cannon pressure vessels; 1040–1170 MPa yield strength A723 steel; no residual stress, shot peen residual stress, overload residual stress. Modeling of applied and residual stresses at the location of the fatigue failure site is performed by elastic-plastic finite element analysis using ABAQUS and by solid mechanics analysis. Shot peen and overload residual stresses are modeled by superposing typical or calculated residual stress distributions on the applied stresses. Overload residual stresses are obtained directly from the finite element model of the breech, with the breech overload applied to the model in the same way as with actual components. Modeling of the fatigue life of the components is based on the fatigue intensity factor concept of Underwood and Parker, a fracture mechanics description of life that accounts for residual stresses, material yield strength and initial defect size. The fatigue life model describes six test conditions in a stress versus life plot with an R2 correlation of 0.94, and shows significantly lower correlation when known variations in yield strength, stress concentration factor, or residual stress are not included in the model input, thus demonstrating the model sensitivity to these variables.

Abstract The mechanical properties of EMAA copolymer are dependent upon the thermal spray processing parameters. The parameters determine coating temperatures which, in turn, affects the microstructure. If the deposition temperature is too low, (104 °C for PFl 13 and 160 °C for PFl 11) coatings have low strengths and low energy to break values. Increased coating temperatures allow the particles to fully coalesce resulting in maximized strength and elongation to break. However, at 271 °C, PFl 11 had visible porosity which decreased both strength and elastic modulus. Pigment acts as reinforcement in the sense that the modulus increased but the elongation to break decreased, thus reducing the energy to break. Water quenching reduces the elastic modulus and yield strength, but increases the elongation to break for both EMAA formulations. The mechanical properties of post consumer commingled plastic and PCCP / EMMA blends improved if the recycled plastic was pre-processed by melt-compounding. Melt compounding increased the strength and toughness by improving the compatibility among the various polymer constituents. The addition of PCCP increases the modulus and yield strength of ethylene methaciylic acid copolymer.

In this article, a 3D finite element based thermo-mechanical model for friction stir welding (FSW) of a marine-grade aluminium alloy 5083 is proposed. The model demonstrates the thermal evaluation and the distribution of residual stresses and strains under the variation of process variables. The temperature profile of the weld joint during the FSW process and the mechanical properties of the joints are also experimentally evaluated. The necessary calibration of the model for the correct implementation of the thermal loading, mechanical loading, and boundary conditions was performed using the experimental results. The model simulation and experimental results are analyses in view of the process-property correlation study. The residual stress was evaluated along, and across the weld, centreline referred as longitudinal and transverse residual stresses, respectively. The magnitude of longitudinal residual stress is noted 60-80% higher than that of the transverse direction. The longitudinal residual stress generated a tensile oval shaped stress region around the tool shoulder confined to a maximum distance of about 25mm from the axis of the tool along the weld line. It encompasses the weld-nugget to thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ), while the parent metal region is mostly experiences the compressive residual stresses. However, the transverse residual stress region appears like wing shaped region spread out in both the advancing and retreating side of the weld and occupying approximately double the area as compared to the longitudinal residual stresses. Overall, the study revealed a corelation between the FSW process variables such as welding speed and the tool rotational speed with the residual stress and the mechanical properties of the joint.

Monte Carlo (MC) method and molecular dynamics (MD) are combined to analyze the influence of ageing on mechanical properties of machined nanostructures. Single crystal copper workpiece is first cut in MD simulation, and then the machined workpiece is used in MC simulation of ageing process, finally the tensile mechanical properties of machined nanostructures before and after ageing are investigated by MD simulation. The results show that machining process and ageing have obvious influence of tensile mechanical properties. After machining, the yield strength, yield strain, fracture strain and elastic modulus reduce by 36.02%, 28.86%, 20.79% and 7.16% respectively. However, the yield strength, yield strain and elastic modulus increase by 4.84%, 1.41% and 1.02% respectively, fracture strain reduce by 24.53% after ageing process. To research the ageing processes of machined nanostructures by MC simulation is both practical and meaningful.
