Instrumented Indentation Test

Abstract Instrumented indentation hardness testing significantly expands on the capabilities of traditional hardness testing. It employs high-resolution instrumentation to continuously control and monitor the loads and displacements of an indenter as it is driven into and withdrawn from a material. The scope of application comprises displacements even smaller than 200 nm (nano range) and forces even up to 30 kN . Mechanical properties are derived from the indentation load-displacement data obtained in simple tests. The chapter presents the elements of contact mechanics that are important for the application of the instrumented indentation test. The test method according to the international standard (ISO 14577) is discussed, and this information is supplemented by information about the testing technique and some example applications. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the extensions of the standard that are expected in the future (estimation of the measurement uncertainty and procedures for the determination of true stress-strain curves).

Comprehensive Study

A comprehensive study was carried out on the determination of mechanical parameters in the weld zone by using the digital image correlation (DIC) method. The DIC method provided quantitative two-dimensional strain maps of the deformation field across the weld joint throughout the tensile test. Then the local stress-strain response was extracted based on these strain maps on the uniform stress hypothesis. The strain distribution evolution during loading performed a good consistency with the indentation test results and the cracking position of the specimen. The deformation related parameters of local areas in weld joint were successfully extracted by DIC method. These parameters are very valuable for the structure design of the weld components, especially in the case of the structure in which the allowable stress is controlled by the deformation feature but not the strength of the material such as the high temperature applications.

The Relationship

Abstract This four-part series of papers addresses the problem of systematic determination of the influence of several tire factors on tire treadwear. Both the main effect of each factor and some of their interactive effects are included. The program was also structured to evaluate the influence of some external-to-tire conditions on the relationship of tire factors to treadwear. Part I describes the experimental design used to evaluate the effects on treadwear of generic tire type, aspect ratio, tread pattern (groove or void level), type of pattern (straight rib or block), and tread compound. Construction procedures and precautions used to obtain a valid and functional test method are included. Two guiding principles to be used in the data analyses of Parts II and III are discussed. These are the fractional groove and void concept, to characterize tread pattern geometry, and a demonstration of the equivalence of wear rate for identical compounds on whole tread or multi-section tread tires.
