This paper presents an experimental investigation into the influence of bond characteristics between textile and matrix on the mechanical behavior of textile-reinforced concrete (TRC). Two types of tests were performed, i.e. pullout test and uniaxial tensile test. Self-compacting fine-grain concrete was adopted. Two kinds of hybrid textile, consisting of both carbon and E-glass yarns, were specially prepared for this study. The experimental results show that sticking sands on the textile after epoxy resin impregnation can improve the interfacial property between textile and matrix. The specimens with textile of 10 mm × 10 mm mesh have stronger bond strength than those with textile of 25 mm × 25 mm mesh, and can reach the maximum tensile strength of yarns when the initial bond length is between 30 mm and 35 mm. Moreover, sticking sands on the textile can improve the multiple cracks form and the ultimate bearing capacity of TRC under uniaxial tensile load. Specimens with textile of 10 mm × 10 mm mesh have higher first-crack loads than those with textile of 25 mm × 25 mm mesh whether or not the textile surface treatment was conducted, and also have better crack distribution. Finally, based on the experimental results from TRC under uniaxial tensile load, a double linear constitutive equation of stress–strain relationship of carbon fiber yarn is provided in this paper.

Forming limit diagram (FLD) is one of the formability criteria which is a plot of major strain versus minor strain. In the present study, Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model is used for FLD prediction of aluminum alloy 6061. Whereas correct selection of GTN parameters’ is effective in the accuracy of this model, anti-inference method and numerical simulation of the uniaxial tensile test is used for identification of GTN parameters. Proper parameters of GTN model is imported to the finite element analysis of Nakazima test for FLD prediction. Whereas FLD is dependent on forming history and strain path, forming limit stress diagram (FLSD) based on the GTN damage model is also used for forming limit prediction in the numerical method. Numerical results for FLD, FLSD and punch’s load-displacement are compared with experimental results. Results show that there is a good agreement between the numerical and experimental results. The main drawback of numerical results for prediction of the right-hand side of FLD which was concluded in other researchers’ studies was solved in the present study by using GTN damage model.

Uniaxial tensile flow properties of a duplex Ti-6.6Al-3.3Mo-1.8Zr-0.29Si alloy in a temperature range from 213 K to 573 K are investigated through crystal plasticity modelling. Experimental results indicate that the initial yield stress of the alloy decreases as the temperature increases, while its work-hardening behavior displays temperature insensitivity. Considering such properties of the alloy, the dependence of the initial critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) on temperature is taken into account in the polycrystal plasticity modelling. Good coincidence is obtained between modelling and the experimental results. The determined values of CRSS for slip systems are comparable to the published data. The proposed polycrystalline model provides an alternative method for better understanding the microstructure–property relationship of α + β titanium alloys at different temperatures in the future.

Abstract This paper will assess the capability of the shear modified Gurson model developed by Nahshon and Hutchinson which is used by Kiwa Inspecta within the ATLAS+ project. This is done by comparison to experimental results from SENT fracture tests performed by EDF and ARMINES. The procedure for parameter identification for the standard and shear modified Gurson model is also summarized. The work presented in this paper is part of Work Package 3 within the ATLAS+ project. WP3 focus mainly on ductile tearing predictions for large defects in components. Models exists to accurately predict ductile tearing and to consider phenomena such as stress triaxiality effects. These advanced models include local approach coupled models or advanced energetic approaches. However, there is a need to validate these models for use in industrial applications. This will be done within the ATLAS+ project by predicting the results of the large scale component tests where input to the models are given from small size laboratory specimens. Within the paper a description of the shear modified Gurson model is given, as developed by Nashson and Hutchinson [1]. Furthermore, the procedure in determining the material model parameters is discussed. To determine the material parameters for the shear modified Gurson model a uniaxial tensile test, a fracture test and shear tests are used. The material that is used is the ferritic steel WB 36 (15 NiCuMoNb 5) which will be used for the large scale component tests within the ATLAS+ project. The procedure is also evaluated by comparing predictions done with the shear modified Gurson model to experimental results from SENT specimens performed by EDF and ARMINES. A comparison of the capability in predicting the ductile tearing in the SENT experiments between the standard Gurson model and the shear modified Gurson model is also presented within the paper.

Recent development has enabled fibre and matrix failure in a fibre reinforced composite material to be predicted separately. Matrix yield/failure prediction is based on a Von Mises strain and first strain invariant criteria. Alternative matrix failure criteria for enhanced prediction accuracy are discussed in this paper. The proposed failure envelope formed with basic failure criteria intersects with uniaxial compression, pure shear and uniaxial tensile test data points smoothly. For failure of typical neat resin, significant improvement of prediction accuracy compared with measured material data is demonstrated. For a unit cell with a fibre and surrounding matrix with typical material properties, a FEM analysis indicates a significant improvement in prediction accuracy in the pure shear load case and a marginal improvement in the biaxial tensile load case. This paper also provided a preliminary discussion about the issues when material nonlinearity of the matrix material is involved.

This investigation was conducted to define the plastic stress distribution at a section 90 degrees from the point of load application on a ring. The elastic and plastic stress distribution was determined experimentally by using postyield strain gages and the stress-strain relationship obtained from a uniaxial tensile test. The experimental results in the elastic range were found to agree with presently available theoretical predictions. A theoretical plasticity analysis of the ring was made by assuming that it deforms to the shape of an ellipse and that plane sections remain plane. The strains determined in this manner were used to calculate stresses off the tensile stress-strain curve. The experimental results indicated that this initial analysis gave a good approximation of the stress distribution for large deflections of the ring.

The true stress-strain curves of 2198-T3 aluminum-lithium alloy in three different orientations (0°,45° and 90°) were measured by uniaxial tensile test. Finite element analysis technique was used to simulate the forming process of irregular cup, and the hydro forming experiments were conducted with YB32-100t press machine. The results showed that the key forming parameter-n values were similar in three orientations. Simulation results illustrated that the thickness of the blank reached the lowest value at the round corner. Experimental results verified friction was a significant factor to manufacture a qualified competent. Meanwhile, the experimental results agreed well with the simulation ones. The practical thickness distribution of 2198-T3 irregular cup along the section line was coincided with simulation.

Based on a series of tests and elastic-plastic contact finite element analyses, a sharp indentation method for predicting the constitutive relationship of metallic materials was presented. Dependent on the dimensionless linear relationship which is independent of the hardening index n, a forecasting formula of constitutive parameters can be gotten and its form is much terser. The test results and finite element calculations show that, the predicted stress-strain curves are in agreement with the uniaxial tensile test results. The validity and precision of this method was certified by in-dentation tests on kinds of different materials.

The mitral valve apparatus is a complex structure consisting of the mitral ring, valve leaflets, papillary muscles and chordae tendineae (CT). The latter are mainly responsible for the mechanical functions of the valve. Our study included investigations of the biomechanical and structural properties of CT collected from canine and porcine hearts, as there are no studies about these properties of canine CT. We performed a static uniaxial tensile test on CT samples and a histopathological analysis in order to examine their microstructure. The results were analyzed to clarify whether the changes in mechanical persistence of chordae tendineae are combined with the alterations in their structure. This study offers clinical insight for future research, allowing for an understanding of the process of chordae tendineae rupture that happens during degenerative mitral valve disease—the most common heart disease in dogs.

AbstractAdditive manufacturing (AM), and in particular selective laser melting (SLM) technology, allows to produce structural components made of lattice structures. These kinds of structures have received a lot of research attention over recent years due to their capacity to generate easy-to-manufacture and lightweight components with enhanced mechanical properties. Despite a large amount of work available in the literature, the prediction of the mechanical behavior of lattice structures is still an open issue for researchers. Numerical simulations can help to better understand the mechanical behavior of such a kind of structure without undergoing long and expensive experimental campaigns. In this work, we compare numerical and experimental results of a uniaxial tensile test for stainless steel 316L octet-truss lattice specimen. Numerical simulations are based on both the nominal as-designed geometry and the as-build geometry obtained through the analysis of µ-CT images. We find that the use of the as-build geometry is fundamental for an accurate prediction of the mechanical behavior of lattice structures.
