In order to research the method of strength empirical correlation between conventional small punch test (SPT) and uniaxial tensile test, a series of austenitic stainless steel including pre-strained SUS304 have been tested in this study. The conventional SPT is conducted on a small disc-shaped specimen whose edge is firmly gripped by a die, and the specimen is deformed by a punch. The method of empirical correlation between SPT and uniaxial tensile test is a direct way to obtain the mechanical properties of materials. Through establishing the strength empirical correlation, it can achieve to calculate the strength of material by SPT which is nondestructive to equipments. However, the per-strained steels have never been tested in this method. This study is to fill that gap and to obtain the empirical correlation between SPT and uniaxial tensile test with pre-strained steel. In this study, a series of austenitic stainless steel including SUS304 after different levels of pre-strain were tested successively by uniaxial tensile test and SPT. It is found that the tensile strength obtained from uniaxial tensile test increases with the increasing levels of pre-strain. However, the maximum load obtained from prestrained SPT specimen does not increase with the increasing levels of pre-strain. It is contradictory to the linear relation between maximum load and tensile strength. According to the analysis of conventional discshaped SPT specimen, the directions of maximum load obtained from SPT and tensile strength from tensile test are not uniform. It results in the non-linearity between the maximum load and the tensile strength with pre-strained steel, and it indicates the pre-strained steel cannot be applied to the conventional disc-shaped SPT specimen. Furthermore, the prestrained steel is a typical kind of anisotropic material. Therefore, extending to anisotropic material, the conventional disc-shaped SPT specimen is not suitable for the method of strength empirical correlation.

AbstractAdditive manufacturing (AM), and in particular selective laser melting (SLM) technology, allows to produce structural components made of lattice structures. These kinds of structures have received a lot of research attention over recent years due to their capacity to generate easy-to-manufacture and lightweight components with enhanced mechanical properties. Despite a large amount of work available in the literature, the prediction of the mechanical behavior of lattice structures is still an open issue for researchers. Numerical simulations can help to better understand the mechanical behavior of such a kind of structure without undergoing long and expensive experimental campaigns. In this work, we compare numerical and experimental results of a uniaxial tensile test for stainless steel 316L octet-truss lattice specimen. Numerical simulations are based on both the nominal as-designed geometry and the as-build geometry obtained through the analysis of µ-CT images. We find that the use of the as-build geometry is fundamental for an accurate prediction of the mechanical behavior of lattice structures.

This work mainly focuses on designing a novel aluminum alloy 6061-T6 pressure vessel liner intended for use in launch vehicles. Fabrication of custom-made welding fixtures for the assembly of liner parts, namely two hemispherical domes and end boss, is illustrated. The parts of the liner are joined using the cold metal transfer welding process, and the welding trials are performed to arrive at an optimized parametric range. The metallurgical characterization of weld joint reveals the existence of dendritic structures (equiaxed and columnar). Microhardness of base and weld metal was 70 and 65 HV, respectively. The tensile strength of base and weld metal was 290 and 197 MPa, respectively, yielding a joint efficiency of 68%. Finite-element analysis of a uniaxial tensile test was performed to predict the tensile strength and location of the fracture in base and weld metal. The experimental and predicted tensile test results were found to be in good agreement.

In the present paper, a modified micromechanics based model that describes the crack bridging stress in randomly oriented discontinuous fiber reinforced engineered cementitious composite is developed. In the model, effect of multiple matrix cracking on fiber embedded length, which in turn influencing fiber bridging in the composite, is taken into consideration. First, crack spacing of high strength-low shrinkage engineered cementitious composite was experimentally determined by photographing the specimen surface at some given loading points during uniaxial tensile test. The diagram of average cracking spacing and loading time of each composite is obtained based on above data. Then, fiber bridging model is modified by introducing a revised fiber embedment length as a function of crack spacing. The model is verified with uniaxial tensile test on both tensile strength and crack opening. Good agreement between model and test results is obtained. The modified model can be used in design and prediction of tensile properties of fiber reinforced cementitious composites with characteristics of multiple matrix cracking.
