ABSTRACTFor better understanding the mechanical properties of thin films it is helpful to use the same experimental methods as for bulk material, like tensile tests, thereby being able to directly compare the results. However, tensile tests of free-standing metallic thin films are often difficult to perform for reasons of preparation, handling, and stresses in the films. By leaving the metallic film on an elastic substrate tensile tests were performed in a rather simple and precise manner, using a commercial tensile testing machine. Stress-strain curves were determined by separating the force working on the substrate from that working on the film-substrate compound. Those measurements were done at room temperature for Al, AlCu(0. 5 wt %) and Cuo0.57Ni0.42Mn0.01 thin (200–2000 nm) films prepared by magnetron sputtering on 8 μm and 13 μm thick polyimide (Kapton) foils. The film microstructure was characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The tensile strength of the fine grained films was found to be up to one order of magnitude higher than for the corresponding coarse grained bulk material. Al and AlCu films showed little, CuNi(Mn) films showed no plastical behavior. Crack formation started between 0.3 % and 2 % strain depending on the material, the thermal history, and the grain size.

A multidimensional loading device for the material mechanical test based on Stewart Platform was proposed and manufactured in this paper. A determination method of mechanism parameters toward specific engineering requirements was analysed via inverse kinematics and contact interference boundary condition of mechanism components. A set of optimized mechanism parameters was achieved and then the pose space was obtained. Meanwhile, five repeated quasi-static standard tensile tests were performed on the multidimensional loading device and the standard tensile testing machine, respectively. The average yield strength and ultimate strength of the specimen achieved from the different testers were both merely 1.13%. Results indicated that material mechanical multidimensional loading could be conducted by the parallel mechanism.

The effects of coarse-grained ring on the mechanical properties and cutting performance of 2011 aluminum alloy extruded bars were studied by metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope, tensile testing machine and high-speed lathe. The results show that the microstructure of aluminum alloy extruded bar was composed of α-Al phase, Al7Cu2Fe phase, CuAl2 phase and SnBi eutectic phase. There was a coarse-grained ring in the aluminum alloy extruded bar. The coarse-grained ring reduced the mechanical properties and cutting performance of the aluminum alloy extruded bar. The aluminum alloy extruded bar with a diameter of 30 mm had a coarse-grained ring depth of 9 mm and lower mechanical properties, whose the tensile strength was 287.9 MPa, the elongation was 17%, the cutting performance was poor and the chips were long. The aluminum alloy extruded bar with a diameter of 40 mm had a coarse-grained ring depth of 1 mm, higher mechanical properties and better cutting performance, whose the tensile strength was 394.5 MPa, the elongation was 23.5%, the chips were fine and uniform.

Rebar steel is used in the construction of various buildings. Vanadium (V), one of microalloying elements, is often added in the rebar steel to improve mechanical property. In order to analyse the effect of V on the microstructure and property of rebar steel, 0.043 wt.% V was added in a 20MnSi rebar steel. The base steel and V added steel were refined in a 50 kg vacuum induction furnace and rolled to plates of 14 mm thick. The mechanical properties of two steels were compared by tensile tests on a Wan-10000 tensile testing machine. The microstructure and precipitation of two steels were analysed by SEM and TEM observations. The microstructures of two steels consist of ferrite and pearlite. However, the grains of V bearing steel are finer. Moreover, fine nanoscale precipitates of V can be observed in V bearing steel. Therefore, the mechanical property of V addition rebar steel is improved by gain refinement strengthening and precipitation strengthening.

Ti-51.45at.%Ni thin films were deposited onto copper substrates by magnetron sputtering. The copper substrates were pre-punched into dog-bone specimens with 4.5mm×30mm(gauge portion) ×35µm( thickness). The substrate temperature was about 673K. The thin films were about 20µm thick. The as-deposited films were first solution treated at 1073K for 1h, and then aged at 773K for 30min. The grain size was estimated to be 1.5µm from scanning electron microscopy micrographs. Tensile tests were carried out on CSS-44100 electron universal test-machine. The strain rate was 1.1×10-4 s-1. The stress-strain curves of the free-standing film were obtained from the experimental stress-strain curves of copper substrate together with the thin film adherent to the substrate compared with the curves of copper substrate without film. The Hall-Patch coefficient was calculated, k=205Mpa.µm1/2. It seems that the Hall-Patch coefficient decreases with increasing film thickness. The experimental results showed that a series of parallel cracks grew in a concerted fashion across the thin film and the cracks were equally spaced. The cracks were more closely spaced if the film stress was increased. The fracture toughness of the film was estimated, c KΙ =0.96MPa·m1/2. Therefore, the minimum crack spacing is predicted by the film stress given.

SUMMARYThe use of a durometer to assess hardness of onion bulbs is described, and compared with the use of a tensile testing machine. Results from the two tests were closely correlated, and significant varietal differences were detected in bulb hardness by both machines. The durometer is of particular value because of the simplicity and non-destructive nature of the test procedure.

The article contains the analysis of thermoplastics used in prototyping machine parts. We used several types of experimental samples with different filling percentages. The equipment on which the experimental studies were carried out is shown. During the experiment, a specialized tensile testing machine was used. The experimental samples were installed in the developed centering device. Normal conditions were observed during the tests. The results of an experimental tensile study of PLA-plastic specimens are presented. The typical stress-strain diagram of an experimental sample is described, which describes the dependence of stress on relative deformation. An equation of the linear dependence of the tensile strength on the percentage of filament filling has been compiled, which makes it possible to determine the tensile strength of the product at any percentage of the filling of the plastic filament. The assessment is adequately verified by Fisher's criterion. Recommendations for filament filling in prototyping machine parts are given.

 This study aimed to decide how to design a kart chassis and the strength of the welded joints. In this design, the chassis frame is made of tubular profile steel, which is designed to withstand most of the loads in a vehicle. The chassis was designed using a computer application, namely Auto CAD 2007. Assembly using carbon steel pipes connected using SMAW welding with E6013 RB 2.6 mm welding wire with a current of 75 A, 1G place. The test is carried out with a tensile testing machine. The material is pulled past the most stretch elasticity limit until finally, the specimen reaches the limit (breaks). The tensile test takes about 3-5 minutes with a load of 10-20N. The test results show the average tensile strength of the iron pipe is 0.512 Mpa.
