Low Strain Rate

Cylindrical samples of frozen sand containing tetrahydrofuran hydrate were tested under uniaxial compression at 267 K and strain rates between 10−6 and 10−3 s−1. In the low strain rate region the compressive strength of the samples was higher than that of frozen sand containing ice. For example, at 267 K and a strain rate of 10−6 s−1 the peak stress for the frozen sand containing hydrate was about 16 MPa, whereas the corresponding value for the frozen sand containing ice was only 10.5 MPa. The strain rate dependence of stress for the frozen sand containing hydrate was much smaller than that of frozen sand containing ice, so that at higher strain rates the compressive strengths of the two materials become almost the same.

Cylindrical Samples

Cylindrical samples of sand consolidated with tetrahydrofuran hydrate were tested for their compressive strength and creep behavior under uniaxial compression. The samples were 15 cm in length and 7.5 cm in diameter and were tested at −10 °C. The results, when combined with our previous measurements on similar samples at −6 °C, show that the material becomes stronger by about 10% with decrease in temperature; otherwise, the slopes of the peak stress – strain rate curves are the same. These results are similar to those of sand consolidated with ice, except that in the latter case the increase in strength over the same temperature range is about 30%. Furthermore, the slope of the peak stress – strain rate curve for the hydrate-consolidated sand is almost zero, whereas for the ice-consolidated sand it is quite steep. Consequently, at strain rates below 10−5 s−1 the hydrate-consolidated sand is stronger, whereas at strain rates above 10−5 s−1 the ice-consolidated sand is the stronger material. Noticeable differences were also observed in the creep behavior of the hydrate- and ice-consolidated sands. At −10 °C, ice-consolidated sand failed in about 15 h under a stress of about 7 MPa, whereas hydrate-consolidated sand failed after 52.3 h under a stress of 12.2 MPa and some samples did not fail even after 540 h when subjected to a stress of 9.3 MPa.

In this paper, the dynamic mechanical properties of GH4720Li nickel-base alloy under a large temperature range and high and low strain rates were studied by the hot compression test. The difference of mechanical properties of GH4720Li alloy under high and low strain rates was analyzed from the perspective of microstructure. The hot compression test experimental results showed that the true stress of GH4720Li alloy decreased at a low strain rate as the trial temperature elevated. Nevertheless, it was abnormal that the true stress increased at high strain rate condition as temperature elevated. By comparing the microstructure under high and low strain rates, it was found that the precipitates under low strain conditions contained a large amount of Cr (Mo). However, the content of Cr (Mo) in the precipitates at a high strain rate decreased, while the content of Fe increased. It would be concluded that Cr (Mo) would reduce the compressive strength and plasticity of GH4720Li alloy, while Fe would increase the compressive strength and plasticity of GH4720Li alloy. In addition, under the condition of a low strain rate, the shape of Cr (Mo) precipitates obtained at 20°C was lamellar, but it was spherical at 800°C. The compressive strength of GH4720Li composites with lamellar precipitates was higher than that of spherical precipitates.

Closed Cell

Closed-cell expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam is commonly used in car bumpers for the purpose of absorbing energy impacts. Characterization of the foam’s mechanical properties at varying strain rates is essential for selecting the proper material used as a protective structure in dynamic loading application. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of loading strain rate, material density, and microstructure on compressive strength and energy absorption capacity for closed-cell polymeric foams. We performed quasi-static compressive strength tests with strain rates in the range of 0.2 to 25 mm/s, using a hydraulically controlled material testing system (MTS) for different foam densities in the range 20 g/dm3 to 220 g/dm3. The above tests were carried out as numerical simulation using ABAQUS software. The verification of the properties was carried out on the basis of experimental tests and simulations performed using the finite element method. The method of modelling the structure of the tested sample has an impact on the stress values. Experimental tests were performed for various loads and at various initial temperatures of the tested sample. We found that increasing both the strain rate of loading and foam density raised the compressive strength and energy absorption capacity. Increasing the ambient and tested sample temperature caused a decrease in compressive strength and energy absorption capacity. For the same foam density, differences in foam microstructures were causing differences in strength and energy absorption capacity when testing at the same loading strain rate. To sum up, tuning the microstructure of foams could be used to acquire desired global materials properties. Precise material description extends the possibility of using EPP foams in various applications.

Uniaxial unconfined compression tests were carried out on frozen saturated Ottawa sand containing about 20% by weight of water, at temperatures between −2 and − 15°C, and at strain rates varying between 10−7 and 10−2 s−1. The compressive strength and the initial tangent modulus increased with increasing strain rate and with decreasing temperature. At −2°C, values of strength and modulus were considerably lower than those predicted by linear extrapolation of the values observed at lower temperatures, on a log–log scale. This could be due to the presence of unfrozen water in the samples at −2°C.

Abstract Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are an essential part of managing thermal performance of electronic assemblies. Knowledge of the mechanical properties of these materials is required in order to have a robust design that will perform as required over the life of the product, including many thermal cycles, without causing damage to electrical components. In this paper, we report on mechanical properties of three putty TIMs and four pad TIMs, showing that the stiffness of the TIMs is proportional to the square of the initial shape factor over the range of shape factors from 1 to 18. Since the putties can flow more readily under pressure than the pads, the putties had a lower measured stiffness at a given shape factor compared to the pads. From these relationships, designers can predict loads with various geometries (i.e. shape factors) and loading rates (i.e. shock loading vs. temperature cycling) which can impact their design. While all of the materials were tested at compressive strain rates of 20 to 70% strain/minute, one putty was also tested at a 10x higher rate to determine the effect of a relatively high strain rate on the peak stress. In that case, the peak stress was approximately 3x higher than measured at the lower strain rates. However, the relaxed load at each strain rate tested was unaffected by strain rate, indicating that hardware assembly conditions can be adjusted to minimize stress on components and yet, still achieve an interface having low thermal resistance.

AbstractTo investigate the mechanical properties of tunnel lining concrete under different moderate-low strain rates after high temperatures, uniaxial compression tests in association with ultrasonic tests were performed. Test results show that the ultrasonic wave velocity and mass loss of concrete specimen begin to sharply drop after high temperatures of 600 °C and 400 °C, respectively, at the strain rates of 10-5s-1 to 10-2s-1. The compressive strength and elastic modulus of specimen increase with increasing strain rate after the same temperature, but it is difficult to obtain an evident change law of peak strain with increasing strain rate. The compressive strength of concrete specimen decreases first, and then increases, but decreases again in the temperatures ranging from room temperature to 800 °C at the strain rates of 10-5s-1 to 10-2s-1. It can be observed that the strain-rate sensitivity of compressive strength of specimen increases with increasing temperature. In addition, the peak strain also increases but the elastic modulus decreases substantially with increasing temperature under the same strain rate.

Dynamic Compressive Strength

In order to study the effect of cement-sand ratio on the dynamic mechanical properties of the full tailings cemented backfilling, three sets of full tailings cemented backfilling specimens with different cement-sand ratios were prefabricated. The uniaxial impact of the prefabricated specimens was performed by the Ф50 mm SHPB test system. Test results showed that full tailings cemented backfilling had strong reflection and damping effects on elastic wave propagation. At lower strain rates, specimens presented strength hardening, and at higher strain rates, the test specimens presented rapid-softening strength; the strength-hardened specimen reached the peak stress at 40 μs, and the softening specimen reached the peak stress at about 18 μs; with the increase of strain rate, dynamic compressive strength, growth factor of dynamic strength, peak strain, and dynamic-static strain ratio of specimens increased totally. When the cement-sand ratio increased, ultimate dynamic compressive strength, limit dynamic strength growth factor, and ultimate peak strain of the specimen were higher; at the same strain rate, with the increase of cement content, the dynamic compressive strength, dynamic strength growth factor, and dynamic-static strain ratio of the test piece all decreased. The failure mode of the specimen was crushing failure. Under the same strain rate, when the cement content decreased, there was a higher damage degree of specimens.

The present paper introduces the experimental study on soft rock (analogized with mortar)under dynamic uniaxial compression at the strain rates from 10-5 to 101s-1. It is indicated that thecompressive strength of the soft rock increase with the increasing strain rate and the rising rates are higher than that of hard rock. The Young's moduli and Poisson's ratio of the soft rock increase with the increasing strain rate, but the rising rates are less than that of compressive strength. In addition, the mechanism of the strain rate effect of the soft rock is primarily analyzed based on the SEM results.

In order to investigate the mechanical properties of seawater sea-sand concrete (SSC) under uniaxial compression, the SSC prisms with different mix proportions are designed and prepared, and the compressive strength and stress-strain curves under uniaxial compression are tested, in which five loading strain rates 10−5/s, 10−4/s, 10−3/s, 10−2/s, and 10−1/s are selected. The failure patterns of the SSC specimens under different strain rates are discussed, and the peak stress, peak strain (strain at the peak stress), elastic modulus, and ultimate strain are analyzed. The influence of the strain rate and the shell particle content on the stress-strain curves is intensively evaluated. It shows that the peak stress and elastic modulus increase with an increasing strain rate while the peak strain and ultimate strain have no obvious trend. Additionally, the shell particles seem to have contributions to the increase of the compressive strength of SSC base on the test results of cube and prism specimens, but further considerations about this phenomenon are necessary. Finally, the dynamic increase factor (DIF) of characteristic indices of SSC is put forward.

With the lightning speed of technological evolution, the demand for high performance yet sustainable natural fibres reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) are rising. Especially a mechanically competent NFPCs under various loading conditions are growing day by day. However, the polymers mechanical properties are strain-rate dependent due to their viscoelastic nature. Especially for natural fibre reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) which the involvement of filler has caused rather complex failure mechanisms under different strain rates. Moreover, some uneven micro-sized natural fibres such as bagasse, coir and wood were found often resulting in micro-cracks and voids formation in composites. This paper provides an overview of recent research on the mechanical properties of NFPCs under various loading conditions-different form (tensile, compression, bending) and different strain rates. The literature on characterisation techniques toward different strain rates, composite failure behaviours and current challenges are summarised which have led to the notion of future study trend. The strength of NFPCs is generally found grow proportionally with the strain rate up to a certain degree depending on the fibre-matrix stress-transfer efficiency. The failure modes such as embrittlement and fibre-matrix debonding were often encountered at higher strain rates. The natural filler properties, amount, sizes and polymer matrix types are found to be few key factors affecting the performances of composites under various strain rates whereby optimally adjust these factors could maximise the fibre-matrix stress-transfer efficiency and led to performance increases under various loading strain rates.
