Strain localization in the presence of a stress gradient is a phenomenon common to many systems described by continuum mechanics. Variations of this complex phenomenon lead to interesting nonlinear effects in materials/engineering science as well as in other fields. Here, the synchrotron based energy dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDXRD) technique is used for high spatial resolution profiling of both compression and tension induced strain localization in important materials/engineering problems. Specifically, compression induced strain localization in shot peened materials and tension induced strain localization in the plastic zones adjoining the faces of a fatigue crack are profiled. The utility of the EDXRD synchrotron technique for nondestructively cross-sectioning strain variations on small length scales (down to 10–20μm) is described. While the strain field profiling relies on the shift of the Bragg lines, the data show that plastic deformation regions can also consistently be seen in the broadening of the Bragg peaks through the full width at half maximum parameter. Quantitative correlations between the synchrotron based x-ray determined deformations and surface deformations, as measured by optical surface height profiling, are also made.

Corrosion of reinforcement is an important durability concern for the structures exposed to coastal regions. Since corrosion of reinforcement involves long periods of time, impressed current technique is usually used to accelerate the corrosion of reinforcement in laboratories. Characterization of impressed current technique was the main focus of this research,which involved determination of optimum chloride content and minimum immersion time of specimens for which the application of Faraday’s law could be efficient. To obtain optimum chloride content, the electrolytes in the corrosion cell were prepared similar to that of concrete pore solutions. Concrete prisms of 200 mm by 200 mm by 300 mm were used to determine the minimum immersion time for saturation. It was found that the optimum chloride content was 35 gm/L and the minimum immersion time for saturation was 140 hours. Accounting the results, a modified expression based on Faraday’s law was proposed to calculate weight loss due to corrosion. Journal of Engineering Science 11(1), 2020, 93-99
