In this paper the first results of the mechanical characterization in tension of two high strength alloys in a wide range of strain rates are presented. Different experimental techniques were used for different strain rates: a universal machine, a Hydro-Pneumatic Machine and a JRC-Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar. The experimental research was developed in the DynaMat laboratory of the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland. An increase of the stress at a given strain increasing the strain-rate from 10-3 to 103 s-1, a moderate strain-rate sensitivity of the uniform and fracture strain, a poor reduction of the cross-sectional area at fracture with increasing the strain-rate were shown. Based on these experimental results the parameters required by the Johnson-Cook constitutive law were determined.

It has been unanimously acknowledged that the strength and deformation characteristics of bounded geomaterials, viz. cemented soils and natural rocks, are predominantly governed by the rate of loading/deformation. Rational evaluation of these time-dependent characteristics due to viscosity and ageing are vital for the reliable constitutive modelling. In order to study the effects of ageing and loading/strain rate (viscosity) on the behaviour of bounded geomaterials, a number of unconfined monotonic loading tests were performed on Gypsum Mixed Sand (GMS) specimens at a wide range of axial strain rates; ranging from 1.9E-05 to 5.3E+00 %/min (27,000 folds), and at different curing periods. The results indicate shifts in the viscous behaviour of GMS at critical strain rates of 2.0E-03 and 5.0E-01 %/min. In the light of this finding, the results are categorized into three discrete zones of strain rates, and the behaviour of GMS in each of these zones is discussed. A significant dependency of peak strength and stress-strain responses on strain rate was witnessed for specimens subjected to strain rates lesser than 2.0E-03 %/min, and the effects of viscosity/strain rate was found to be insignificant at strain rate higher than 5.0E-01%/min.

At present there are no national codes for the design of exposed hydro-electric penstocks. Thus an engineer must either make reference to other national codes for similar work, such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers boiler and pressure vessel code or the American Water Works Association Standard for steel water piping, or he must write his own code and is then faced with the decision of having to select design criteria that must cover a wide range of steels; different operating and waterhammer conditions; a wide range of quality control procedures used in manufacture and erection of the penstock; and different types of penstocks, isostatic where the stresses can be calculated with precision, and hyperstatic where the stress calculation is more imprecise. This paper discusses design criteria, factors of safety, and corresponding quality control procedures that can be used for either isostatic or hyperstatic penstocks using mild, intermediate, or high strength steel for penstocks supplying reaction of impulse turbines.

Clinching is a simple, cheap and efficient method of joining that enables to join two or more sheets without any additional elements such as rivets, bolts or nuts. In addition, clinching does not require a surface preparation e.g. drilling (riveting), cleaning and roughening of the surface (adhesive boding) and other types of surface preparations (arc welding). Clinching is utilized in a wide range of applications and can be applied to different materials such as low carbon steel sheets, high-strength steel sheets, aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys. The paper presents the results of evaluation of clinched joint properties. The advanced high-strength steel sheet DP600 in combination with the drawing grade steel sheets DC06, DX51D+Z and high-strength low alloy steel sheet H220PD were used for experiments. The influence of position of the sheets relative to the punch and die of the tool on the carrying capacities of the clinched joints was observed as well. The tension test and microhardness test were used for the evaluation of clinched joint properties.
