The use of aluminum alloys for external strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been capturing research interest. Exposure to harsh environmental conditions can severely impact the strengthening efficiency. This works aims to investigate the degradation in the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy AA 5083 plates when exposed to temperatures ranging from 25 to 300 °C. Quasi-static Isothermal tensile experiments were conducted at different temperatures. It was observed from the experimental results that the yield strength remained constant in the temperature range of 25–150 °C before starting to drop beyond 150 °C, with a total reduction of ≈ 40% at 300 °C. The elastic modulus was temperature sensitive with about 25% reduction at 200 °C before experiencing a significant and pronounced reduction at 300 °C. The percentage drops in stiffness and yield strength at 300 °C were 62.8% and 38%, respectively. In addition, the Mechanical Threshold Strength Model (MTS) parameters were established to capture the yield strength temperature dependence. Two analytical models were developed based on the experimental results. Both models can reasonably predict the elastic modulus and yield strength of AA 5083 plates as a function of temperature. It was concluded that AA plates should be properly insulated when used as externally bonded reinforcement to strengthen RC beams.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical properties and dislocation microstructure of single crystals with a range of compositions within the Fex-Ni60–x-Al40 pseudobinary system have been investigated, with the purpose of bridging the behavior from FeAl to NiAl. Experiments are focused on the compression testing of <001> oriented single crystals with compositions where x = 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 (in atomic percent). Observations of a<111> dislocation morphologies at room temperature and both a<111> and non-a<111> dislocation activity at elevated temperatures are reported and discussed. Measurements of the yield strength, elastic modulus and strain hardening rates are reported, and the variation of strength with composition is correlated with dislocation dissociation and overall dislocation morphology.

Studies involving the mechanical properties of high-strength steel (HSS) at elevated temperatures have received considerable attention in recent years. However, current research on HSS at high temperatures is lacking. As a result, the design of fire-protective steel structures with high standards is not sufficiently conservative or safe. This study investigates the effect that elevated temperatures have on the mechanical properties of ASTM A572 Gr. 50 and 60 steels. Reduction factors for the yield strength, tensile strength, and elastic modulus were derived and compared with the standard (AISC, EN1993-1-2) and previous studies (NIST). This study also provides extensive data on the reduction factors for the yield strength, tensile strength, and elastic modulus of mild steel (MS), HSS, and very-high-strength steel (VHSS). The reduction factor for the yield strength was analyzed by expanding the strain level up to 20%. Equations for the yield strength, tensile strength, and elastic modulus were proposed. In future studies, various strains should be analyzed according to the grade of the steel, with the derivation of a reduction factor that considers the plastic strain of the steel. Hence, the findings reported in this study generated a database that can be applied to fire safety design or performance-based fire-resistant design.

The effect of the different sizes and densities of He bubble on the mechanical properties of CLAM alloy was studied by milt-scale simulation method. It is found that with the increasing of helium bubble size and density, the yield strength and yield strain of CLAM alloys reduced, and the yield strength and yield elongation are predicted to be consistent with the experimental results.

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.

Fires are always known for seriously deteriorating concrete in structures, especially for those with certain carbonation due to long-time service. In this paper, 75 prism specimens were prepared and divided into four groups (three carbonated groups and one uncarbonated group). Specimens were tested under different temperatures (20, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700°C), exposure times (3, 4, and 6 hours), and cooling methods (water and natural cooling). Surface characteristics, weight loss rate, and residual mechanical properties (strength, initial elastic modulus, peak, and ultimate compressive strains) of carbonated concrete specimens after elevated temperatures were investigated and compared with that of the uncarbonated ones. Results show that the weight loss rates of the carbonated concrete specimens are slightly lower than that of the uncarbonated ones and that the cracks are increased with raising of temperatures. Surface colors of carbonated concrete are significantly changed, but they are not sensitive to cooling methods. Surface cracks can be evidently observed on carbonated specimens when temperature reaches 400°C. Residual compressive strength and initial elastic modulus of carbonated concrete after natural cooling are generally larger than those cooled by water. The peak and ultimate compressive strains of both carbonated and uncarbonated concrete specimens increase after heating, but the values of the latter are greater than that of the former. Finally, the constitutive equation to predict the compressive behaviors of carbonated concrete after high temperatures was established and validated by tests.

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.

In order to study the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of H90 copper strip material, the H90 copper strip test pieces were heated to different temperatures (20~600 °C) for tensile test; the yield strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus and elongation of H90 copper strip at different temperatures were obtained. Based on the test results, the empirical models of yield strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus of H90 copper strip at high temperature were established; the test showed that, with the increase of temperature, the yield strength, tensile strength and elastic modulus of H90 copper strip decreased greatly, and the elongation after fracture first increased-decreased-increased at 20~600 °C. The study results in this paper provide basic material data for analyzing the effect of temperature on the continuous firing of firearms and other weapons.

The use of externally-bonded composite materials for strengthening and rehabilitation of existing structures is among the most popular reinforcement techniques. Technologies, such as Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) have been recently developed to address some of the issues of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), such as sensitivity to elevated temperatures and UV, impermeability, restricted application in presence of moisture or uneven substrate. For a detailed strengthening design with FRCM composites, the mechanical properties of the materials are required. Analytical models in literature discuss the interaction between the FRCM matrix and fabric using a fracture mechanics approach. These analytical laws were simplified using a trilinear curve in which a constant branch correlated to the friction is added. In the United States, “Acceptance Criteria AC434” includes the test methods to evaluate the mechanical properties of the FRCM through a direct tensile test which uses clevis grips. The material characterization per AC434 is in harmony with ACI 549.4R design guidelines. This study deals with the analysis of FRCM materials using 2D Augmented-Finite Element Method (A-FEM) approach. Constitutive material behaviors were used to implement on A-FE model, which can predict the failure modes of the composite material. The damage of the mortar was described by a trilinear curve, and the number and position of the cracks were fixed preliminarily. The fabric was modelled as a continuum layer attached to the mortar with no-thickness cohesive elements. The cohesive law between fabric and mortar was taken from the literature. The tensile test on the FRCM coupon with one layer of fabric was numerically modeled and compared to the experimental stress-strain curves. Results show that the numerical curves matched the experimental ones and capture the three branches of the FRCM constitutive law as well as the failure mode. This modelling tool will allow researchers to predict the constitutive law of an FRCM mater

TiCp/ZA-12 composites have been fabricated by XDTM method and stirring-casting techniques. The tests for mechanical properties reveal that the tensile strength and strength increase with increasing fraction of TiC particles. When the fraction of TiC particles increase up to 10%, the tensile strength and yield strength are 390MPa and 340MPa, respectively and they increase by 11% and 17% than that of matrix respectively. From the analysis of fractography we can see that mixed fracture of cleavage fracture and dimple fracture exists in the TiCp/ZA-12 composites, and fractured particles are not found. Finally the fracture model of composites has been established based on the experimental results.
