In this study, process parameters such as the bending angle and bending temperature of the metal sheets for pure bending of advanced high strength steel sheet DP980 were investigated using the air-bending method. This investigation focused on bendability and failure mechanisms. Experimental studies were carried out with various bending temperatures and the bending angle parameters to identify effect on springback angle, initial crack, and the evolution of the microstructure. Prior to testing, the DP steel sheets were heattreated at different temperatures (room temperature, 200 °C, 400 °C, and 600 °C) with a heating rate of 2 °C/S and 5 minutes of holding time in an electric furnace. As a result of the experiments performed at different temperature values and bending angle values, it was determined that an increase in the bending angle reduces the size of the springback angle. It was also determined that an increase in air-bending-temperature reduces the amount of springback. Air-bending-temperature also affected the microstructure evolution and slowed the cracking of the bent surface.

Considering the necessity of using light weight, high strength and corrosion resistant materials, automotive and aerospace industries need to use advanced production technologies. Hydroforming has been regarded as one of the new technologies in forming of aluminium and magnesium alloys. These alloys have very low formability at room temperature which will be improved at elevated temperatures. In this paper, AA1050 aluminium alloy tube is numerically and experimentally investigated at different temperatures. Thickness distribution in forming zone is studied under different thermal conditions. Numerical results have been verified by experiments and there is a good agreement.

Large radius air bending has a different loading diagram than conventional bending, which affects the material behavior during the bending process. In order to establish a correct loading diagram, the position of the contact points between the plate and the punch is determinant. The position of the contact points is depending on the evolution of the bending process and the influence of the material is unknown. In this work, the determination of the position of the contact points in large radius air bending has been studied by means of both an experimental campaign and finite element analysis. Experiments were performed on a press-brake with a capacity of 50 metric tons. High-strength steel Weldox 1300 and aluminum alloy AlMg3, and punches of radii 30, 35 and 40 mm have been used. During the bending process, the punch movement has been monitored and the bending angle has been measured by means of images recorded by a camera system. Based on the obtained results, the relation between the bending angle and the position of the contact points is discussed.

Fire represents one of the most severe environmental conditions, and therefore should be properly accounted for in the design of structural members. The increased use of high strength concrete (HSC) in buildings has raised concerns regarding the behaviour of such concrete in fire. In particular, spalling at elevated temperatures, as identified in studies by a number of laboratories, is a main concern. In this paper, results from experimental studies on the fire resistance of HSC columns are presented. A comparison is made of the fire resistance performance of HSC columns with and without silica fume and with different confinement configurations. The effect of silica fume and the effect of confinement on the fire performance of HSC columns will be discussed. The results show that the fire endurance of HSC columns with higher silica fume content is lower and the reduced tie spacing and the provision of cross-ties are beneficial in minimizing the spalling in HSC.Key words: fire resistance, high strength concrete, reinforced concrete columns, spalling.

This paper presents the results of experimental studies on the residual compressive strength of concrete produced with stone-chip as fine aggregates with the compressive strengths of unheated specimen ranging from 45.8 to 129.5MPa after exposure to high temperatures and the experimental parameters being the temperature, admixtures, and PP fiber. Specimens were heated in an electric furnace for 4h to high temperatures ranging from 150 to 960°C. Experimental results showed that the compressive strengths of super high strength concrete used stone-chip (abbreviated to SHSCUS) and normal strength concrete used stone-chip (abbreviated to NSCUS) after exposure to elevated temperatures changed in the manners different from that of normal strength concrete, which reached their peak at about 400°C, and the presence of pp fibers in SHSCUS concrete could reduce the risk of spalling at the high temperatures and the peak value after fire.

Purpose This paper aims to present technical aspects of the assessment method and evaluation of fire damaged steel structures. The current work focuses on the behavior of structural normal steel (hot-rolled and cold-formed) and high-strength bolts after exposure to elevated temperatures. Information on stainless steel, cast iron and wrought iron is also presented. Design/methodology/approach Because of the complexity of the issue, an elaborate presentation of the mechanical properties influencing factors is followed. Subsequently, a wide range of experimental studies is extensively reviewed in the literature while simplified equations for determining the post-fire mechanical properties are proposed, following appropriate categorization. Moreover, the reinstatement survey is also comprehensively described. Findings Useful conclusions are drawn for the safe reuse of the structural elements and connection components. According to the parametric investigation of the aforementioned data, it can be safely concluded that the most common scenario of buildings after fire events, i.e. apart from excessively distorted structures, implies considerable remaining capacity of the structure, highlighting that subsequent demolition should not be the case, especially regarding critical infrastructure and buildings. Originality/value The stability of the structure as a whole is addressed, with aim to establish specific guidelines and code provisions for the correct appraisal and rehabilitation of fire damaged structures.

Springback is a common phenomenon in sheet metal forming, in which the material undergoes an elastic recovery as applied loads are removed. Springback causes the forming shape to deviate from the intended design geometry. This phenomenon, which can be influenced by several factors, effects on both bending angle and bending curvature. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of different tool radius and the gap between punch and die on springback in bending of DP980 Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) sheet. Experimental studies are combined with FEM method in commercial ABAQUS software to determine the bending angle after springback. To predict springback in bending process, the material properties are defined by Ludwik - Hollomon law, combined with the Hill’48 criterion. Experimental results are in good agreement with numerical simulations in case of bending in the rolling direction.

Some information on the size and density of voids that develop in several high purity metals and alloys during irradiation with neutrons at elevated temperatures has been reported as a function of irradiation parameters. An area of particular interest is the nucleation and early growth stage of voids. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the microstructure in high purity nickel after irradiation to a very low but constant neutron exposure at three different temperatures.Annealed specimens of 99-997% pure nickel in the form of foils 75μ thick were irradiated in a capsule to a total fluence of 2.2 × 1019 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 MeV). The capsule consisted of three temperature zones maintained by heaters and monitored by thermocouples at 350, 400, and 450°C, respectively. The temperature was automatically dropped to 60°C while the reactor was down.


The analysis of the previous results of the study on concrete stress-strain behavior at elevated temperatures has been carried out. Based on the analysis, the main reasons for strength retrogression and elastic modulus reduction of concrete have been identified. Despite a significant amount of research in this area, there is a large spread in experimental data received, both as a result of compression and tension. In addition, the deformation characteristics of concrete are insufficiently studied: the coefficient of transverse deformation, the limiting relative compression deformation corresponding to the peak load and the almost complete absence of studies of complete deformation diagrams at elevated temperatures. The two testing chambers provided creating the necessary temperature conditions for conducting studies under bending compression and tension have been developed. On the basis of the obtained experimental data of physical and mechanical characteristics of concrete at different temperatures under conditions of axial compression and tensile bending, conclusions about the nature of changes in strength and deformation characteristics have been drawn. Compression tests conducted following the method of concrete deformation complete curves provided obtaining diagrams not only at normal temperature, but also at elevated temperature. Based on the experimental results, dependences of changes in prism strength and elastic modulus as well as an equation for determining the relative deformation and stresses at elevated temperatures at all stages of concrete deterioration have been suggested.
