Fresh concrete used in 3D printing should ensure adequate yield stress, otherwise the printed concrete layer may suffer intolerable deformation or collapse during the printing process. In response to this issue, an analytical study was carried out to derive the initial yield stress and hardening coefficient of fresh concrete suitable for 3D printing. The maximum shear stress distribution of fresh concrete was calculated using a stress transformation equation derived from the equilibrium condition of forces. In addition, the elapsed time experienced by fresh concrete during the printing processes was estimated and was then substituted into the elapsed time-yield stress function to calculate the yield stress distribution. Based on these results, an algorithm capable of deriving both the initial yield stress and the hardening coefficient required for printing fresh concrete up to the target height was proposed and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses were performed to verify the accuracy of the proposed model.

The constitutive modeling of aluminum alloy under warm forming conditions generally considers the influence of temperature and strain rate. It has been shown by published flow stress curves of Al-Mg alloy that there is nearly no effect of strain rate on initial yield stress at various temperatures. However, most constitutive models ignored this phenomenon and may lead to inaccurate description. In order to capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, Peric model is modified via introducing plastic strain to multiply the strain rate, for eliminating the effect of strain rate when the plastic strain is zero. Other constitutive models including the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric are also considered and compared. The results show that the modified Peric model could not only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress, but also capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, while the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric model can only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress. Moreover, the modified Peric model could obtain proper static yield stress more naturally, and this property may have potential applications in rate-dependent simulations.

Instantaneous Increase

Recently, the progress in 3D concrete printing has developed enormously. However, for the techniques available, there is still a severe lack of knowledge of the functional interaction of processing technology, concrete rheology and admixture usage. For shotcrete 3D printing technology, we present the effect of accelerator dosages (0%, 2%, 4% and 6%) on fresh concrete properties and on interlayer strength. Therefore, early yield stress development up to 90 min is measured with penetration resistance measurements. Deformation of layers under loading is investigated with digital image correlation and a mechanical testing machine. One point in time (10 min after deposition) is examined to quantify vertical buildability of elements depending on the accelerator dosage. Four different interlayer times (0, 2, 5 and 30 min), which occur for the production of small and large elements as well as due to delay during production, are investigated mechanically as well as quantitatively with computed tomography regarding the formation of cold joints. With increased accelerator dosage, an instantaneous increase in early age yield stress and yield stress evolution was observed. An increase in interlayer time leads to a reduced strength. This is mainly attributed to the observed reduced mechanical interlocking effect of the strands. Finally, a model to describe interlayer quality is presented. In the end, advantages as well as limitations of the findings are discussed.

Nc Bending

Spring-back is one of the key factors affecting the forming quality of the NC bending of high-strength TA18 tubes (TA18-HS tubes). Since material parameters have a direct influence on stress and strain fields during the bending and after unloading, the springback of TA18-HS tubes after NC bending depends on material properties to a great degree. In order to study the effect of material parameters, the sensitivity of material parameters on spring-back of TA18-HS tubes is analyzed in this study, using the numerical simulation and the multi-parameters sensitivity analysis method. The results show the following: (1) The springback angle has a positive correlation with the strength coefficient and initial yield stress, and has a negative correlation with the elastic modulus and strain hardening exponent. Besides, with the increase of elastic modulus, the fluctuation of springback goes gently; with the increase of the strength coefficient and initial yield stress, the fluctuation of springback goes abruptly; but with the variation of the strain hardening exponent, the springback fluctuates slightly; (2) The elastic modulus is the most sensitive material parameter on spring-back, the strength coefficient and initial yield stress rank the second and third, respectively, and the strain hardening exponent is the last. The achievement of the study is valuable to eliminate the non-sensitivity parameters, simplify the optimization project, and improve the spring-back prediction capability.

Tension Tests

Significant improvements in deformation resistance and ductility of metals are observed in the electrically assisted forming (EAF) process. Both electroplastic effect (EPE) induced by electric current and thermal effect associated with Joule heating have been proposed to explain the phenomenon. However, there are still arguments in the contribution of the EPE in EAF process. In this paper, both electrically assisted tension tests (EAT) and thermally assisted tension tests (TAT) were conducted on SS304 specimens at the same temperature. The existence of EPE is investigated, and the contribution of EPE is also distinguished with thermal effect numerically by considering the initial yield stress, dislocation hardening, and martensite phase transformation. It is shown when the temperature is around 34 °C, the electric current of 50 A/mm2 in EAT induces additional stress reduction of 16% in the short-range internal stress (effective stress) involved in the initial yield stress and volume reduction of 45.2% in martensite formation compared with results in TAT. However, the effect is not obvious for the cases of 100 A/mm2 and 150 A/mm2 when the temperature is above 100 °C. By comparing the storage coefficient and recovery coefficient of dislocation in EAT and TAT, it indicates that electric current has no additional activation effect on dislocation movement of SS304.

This paper investigates the uniaxial mechanical properties of a new type of hollow sphere structures. For this new type, the sphere shell is perforated by several holes in order to open the inner sphere volume and surface. The mechanical properties, i.e. elastic properties and initial yield stress, of perforated hollow sphere structures in a primitive cubic arrangement are numerically evaluated for different hole diameters and different sphere wall thicknesses.

AbstractPlasticity size effects are well known in a wide variety of situations where either the material microstructure or a strain gradient exist at small length scales. Several theories have been developed to describe changes in the work hardening behaviour under these conditions but none that predict a change in the initial yield stress. Careful studies by Chaudhri et al and Pharr et al have unambiguously demonstrated plasticity size effects in ductile metals. In those experiments indentation stress-strain curves were generated using spherical indenters with radii ranging from a few micrometres to several hundred micrometres and these were compared to data from conventional compression tests. Large radius indenters produced a single indentation stress-strain curve independent of indenter radius with a power law hardening coefficient equivalent to that in the compression tests. However, the indentation stress-strain curves appeared at progressively higher pressures for smaller radius indenters. In this paper we model those experiments using finite element analysis methods. By inputting the uniaxial stress-strain data to the model (effectively, using von Mises criterion) the indentation stress-strain curves for the macro size indenters are reproduced. However, the model shows no length scale dependence for any size of indenter. We show that by off-setting the compression stress-strain curve by increasing the initial yield stress and inputting this data to the model, the indentation behaviour of the smaller radius indenters can be modelled. The increase in yield stress with decreasing indenter radius is demonstrated for Cu, Wand Ir and is shown to be consistent with the initiation of yielding over a finite volume.

Inelastic Dissipation

Experimental and analytical results are presented regarding the temperature evolution in 100Cr6 steel under uniaxial loading. Differently heat-treated conditions of the material are studied at different strain rates. In the annealed state, the materials exhibits a pronounced initial yield stress as it passes from the elastic region to the plastic through discontinuous yielding. In contrast, the quenched and tempered material yields continuously. The focus of the paper is on the temperature decrease during elastic deformation that precedes the more pronounced heating due to inelastic dissipation once the elastoplastic limit stress is surpassed. The applicability of the maximum temperature decrease in the elastic regime as a replacement for the commonly used 0.2%-strain measure to define the elastoplastic limit is discussed. For 100Cr6 steel, the 0.2%-strain measure is found, in some cases, to overestimate the initial yield stress by 50 MPa. The drop in temperature corresponding to the shift from elastic to inelastic material behavior is experimentally determined and compared to predictions by the Kelvin formula which in the current study give a maximum 50% error.

AbstractMechanical studies of semiconductor superlattices have shown that the onset of plastic deformation under an inhomogeneous stress is a process that takes place simultaneously across a finite volume of the order of a micron across. The ability to incorporate known internal stresses, and to vary the stress and thickness of individual layers in a semiconductor superlattice, is a very powerful tool, opening up new possibilities for investigations that cannot be achieved by varying external stresses on a specimen that is sensibly homogeneous. In this way, from the initial yield stress of single-crystal strained-layer superlattices under indentation, we demonstrated a new criterion, of which the key feature is that it is to be averaged over a finite volume. Here we show that designing samples with individual layers in bands to form low yield-stress material within the structure can give information about the size and position of the initial yield volume.
