The detailed mechanical behavior to yield of three thermoplastics—polycarbonate, polybutylene terephthalate, and polyetherimide—subjected to simulated forming histories, is examined in order to gain an insight into the sheet forming process for thermoplastics. The phenomenology of yield is shown to be quite different for semicrystalline polybutylene terephthalate when compared with amorphous polycarbonate and polyetherimide. The dependence of the mechanical properties of thermoplastics on temperature, deformation rate and hold-time periods are shown to be important for understanding and controlling the solid phase sheet forming process.

The peculiar properties of shape-memory alloys are the result of a solid/solid phase transformation between different crystallographic structures (austenite and martensite). This paper is concerned with the theoretical prediction of the set of strains that minimize the effective (or macroscopic) energy. Those strains, classically refered to as recoverable strains, play a central role in shape memory effect displayed by alloys such as NiTi or CuAlNi. They correspond to macroscopic strains that can be achieved in stress-free states. Adopting the framework of nonlinear elasticity, the theoretical prediction of stress-free strains amounts to find the austenite/martensite microstructures which minimize the global energy. Closed-form solutions to that problem have been obtained only in few special cases. This paper aims at complementing existing results on that problem, essentially by deriving bounds on the set of stress-free strains.

In this work, a multiscale model based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) technique is applied to describe the mechanical behavior of porous materials. The effects of the microstructures (such as pore shape, number, size, distribution and orientation) on the overall strength of the porous medium and its microstress distribution are fully studied. The elastoplastic model is further extended by including a damage process. The influences of microstructure on the damage evolution of the porous medium are discussed and illustrated numerically. Then the proposed multiscale damage model is applied to study the macroscopic behavior of porous sandstone. According to the microstructure of the studied material, a representative elementary volume with randomly distributed spherical pores is considered. The solid phase of the sandstone is assumed to obey the Drucker–Prager criterion. Taking advantage of the FFT-based method, the evolution of generated damage is clearly illustrated during the loading process at the microscopic level. Comparisons between numerical results and experimental data show the efficiency of the proposed numerical model.

The mechanical behavior of frozen soils is strongly affected by the amount of ice. The amount of ice depends on the temperature and the applied mechanical stresses. The influence of ice content and temperature on the mechanical behavior and the coupling effects on the reverse direction can be mentioned as the main difference between frozen and unfrozen soils. In the light of this difference, an elastoplastic constitutive model for describing the stress–strain behavior of saturated frozen soils is proposed. By dividing the total stress into fluid pressure and solid phase stress, in addition to consideration of the cryogenic suction, the model is formulated within the framework of two-stress state variables. The proposed model is able to represent many of the fundamental features of the behavior of frozen soils, such as ice segregation phenomenon and strength weakening due to pressure melting. In the unfrozen state the model becomes a conventional critical state model. Typical predictions of the model for simulating the characteristic trends of the frozen soil behavior is described qualitatively. Model predictions are also compared with the available test results and reasonable agreement is achieved.

Ceramics, such as Al2O3 and SiC have numerous current and potential uses in applications where high temperature strength, hardness, and wear resistance are required often in corrosive environments. These materials are, however, highly anisotropic and brittle, so that their mechanical behavior is often unpredictable. The further development of these materials will require a better understanding of the basic mechanisms controlling deformation, wear, and fracture.The purpose of this talk is to describe applications of TEM to the study of the deformation, wear, and fracture of Al2O3. Similar studies are currently being conducted on SiC and the techniques involved should be applicable to a wide range of hard, brittle materials.
