AbstractThis study was undertaken to elucidate the longitudinal tensile fracture behaviors of softwood at the cell wall scale by means of microscopic analyses. The fracture types of the tracheids at the different fracture surfaces were also distinguished. The results indicated that the main tracheid fracture of the earlywood (EW) sample was transverse transwall breakage. The tracheid fracture process of the transverse transwall breakage was initiated as a fracture in the S2 layer, with the crack propagating into the S1/S2 interface. For the EW/latewood (LW) sample, the strain concentration and initial crack under longitudinal tensile load generally occurred in wood rays in the EW part, which caused the tracheids to experience transverse transwall breakage. The differences in longitudinal and transverse strains between EW and LW under longitudinal tensile load led to shear stress and parallel-to-grain cracks occurring at the growth ring border. When the crack propagated along the wood grain in the EW tissue or growth ring boundary, this resulted in EW longitudinal transwall breakage. However, when the crack propagates along the wood grain in the LW tissue, it could cause the LW tracheid to undergo intrawall breakage, with the crack occurring predominantly at the compound middle lamella (CML)/S1 interface region.

Nonhomogeneous material characteristics of masonry lead to complex fracture mechanisms, which require substantial analysis regarding the influence of masonry constituents. In this context, this study presents a discontinuum modeling strategy, based on the discrete element method, developed to investigate the tensile fracture mechanism of masonry wallettes parallel to the bed joints considering the inherent variation in the material properties. The applied numerical approach utilizes polyhedral blocks to represent masonry and integrate the equations of motion explicitly to compute nodal velocities for each block in the system. The mechanical interaction between the adjacent blocks is computed at the active contact points, where the contact stresses are calculated and updated based on the implemented contact constitutive models. In this research, different fracture mechanisms of masonry wallettes under tension are explored developing at the unit–mortar interface and/or within the units. The contact properties are determined based on certain statistical variations. Emphasis is given to the influence of the material properties on the fracture mechanism and capacity of the masonry assemblages. The results of the analysis reveal and quantify the importance of the contact properties for unit and unit–mortar interfaces (e.g., tensile strength, cohesion, and friction coefficient) in terms of capacity and corresponding fracture mechanism for masonry wallettes.

Abstract In this study, the fracture mechanisms of Cr-coated Zr4 alloy samples were studied by in-situ tensile testing with high-resolution observations. Both original sample and pre-oxidized sample were studied to study the effects of pre-oxidation on the cracking and failure behavior. For the Cr-coated Zr4 sample, with the increase of tensile strain, multiple surface cracks were dominant and less interfacial cracks were formed, indicating good interfacial strength of Cr coating. For the pre-oxidized samples, there was a thin oxide layer formed on the Cr coating surface, revealing improved oxidation resistance and protection effects. However, a brittle ZrCr2 diffusion layer was formed in the same while at the Cr/Zr4 interface underneath the Cr coating, which would lead to earlier micro-cracks formed under tensile stress and evidently degrade the interfacial strength. The findings in the study indicated the importance of optimizing coating microstructure in future study to avoid forming the above-mentioned brittle diffusion interlayer and the associated premature failure.

AbstractThe high-temperature mechanical properties of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel with 0.05 % C, 25 % Mn, 3 % Al, 3 % Si have been investigated using the GLEEBLE 3500 machine. The result shows that the zero ductility temperature and the zero strength temperature of the TWIP steel are measured at 1,225 °C and 1,275 °C, respectively. The brittleness temperature interval I is from 1,200 °C to the melting point, and the brittleness temperature interval III is from 650 °C to 800 °C. The tensile fracture has been examined using the scanning electron microscope, optical microscope and electron backscatter diffraction to determine the fracture mechanisms. The result shows that the twin is not the main influencing factor of the high-temperature plasticity of TWIP steel. Instead, the degree of dynamic recrystallization determines its high-temperature plasticity. A small number of AlN particles are found near the fractures, but these particles are so coarse, therefore, have no influence on the brittle fracture, and ferrite transformation and work hardening are the main reasons that cause the brittle fracture.

Purpose This paper aims to explore the influence of the reinforcement included either glass beads (GBs) or carbon fiber (CF) on the reinforced polyamide 12 (PA12) composite samples prepared by selective laser sintering (SLS). Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the microstructure and mechanical properties are investigated, and the results are compared with those obtained for non-reinforced pure PA12 samples prepared by SLS. Findings The tensile fracture surface of the non-reinforced pure PA12 sample presents strong micro-deformation within the crack origination zone between the melted PA12 matrix and the un-melted PA12 particle cores. As a result, the pure PA12 sample exhibits the greatest maximum elongation. The maximum tensile strength is obtained for the CF reinforced sample because of the strengthening effect of CF and the relatively good bonding between CFs and the PA12 matrix. The minimum tensile strength is obtained for the GB reinforced PA12 sample because of the relatively weak bonding between GBs and the PA12 matrix. Originality/value These results demonstrate that the characteristics of the interfaces between the reinforcement and the PA12 matrix have an important influence on the fracture mechanisms and mechanical properties of PA12 composites fabricated by SLS.
