The objective is to characterize the effect of the bimodal distribution of rubber particles and its blend ratio on the mechanical properties of the thermoplastic polypropylene blended with two different styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene tri-block copolymer (SEBS) at the intermediate and high strain rates. Tensile tests are conducted at the nominal strain rates from 10−1 to 102 (1/sec). Phase morphology is investigated to estimate the bi-modal rubber particle size distribution. In addition, the in-situ observation is conducted during uniaxially stretching within transmission electron microscopy (TEM) step by step to investigate the deformation events depending on the elongation of samples. The elastic modulus increased gradually as the blend ratio of large rubber particle increased. An increase in the rupture strain was found for the bimodal rubber-particle distributed blend system where the blend ratios of small rubber particle and large rubber particle were the same. This is because the smaller particles dominant blend systems show the band-like craze deformation while the localized plastic deformation is taken place in the larger particles dominated blend systems. The synergistic effect of these rubber particles gives rise to a strong increase in the ductility of these bimodal rubber-particle distributed polypropylene systems.

We have conducted a detailed series of tensile tests on one heat of annealed 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel over the range 25 to 593°C (75 to 1100°F) and at nominal strain rates of 0.4, 0.04, 0.004, and 0.0004/min. To determine an empirical relationship to represent the flow behavior, we fitted the true-stress true-strain data from these tests to several proposed models. The models fit were those proposed by Hollomon, Ludwik, Ludwigson, and Voce. From a comparison of the standard error of estimate, the Voce equation was concluded to be the best mathematical description of the data under most test conditions and the best single representation over the wide range of test conditions.

ABSTRACT The effects of strain rate and temperature on the tensile behavior of silicone rubber were investigated. The quasi-static uniaxial tensile experiments were conducted using an electromechanical testing system, and the high-rate uniaxial tensile tests were performed employing a modified split Hopkinson tension bar technique for low-strength and low-impedance materials. The tensile responses were obtained at strain rates of 0.001–1400 s−1 and temperatures ranging from −50 to 50 °C. The experiments reveal that the tensile stress–strain behavior of silicone rubber is nonlinear and highly dependent on strain rate and temperature. The values of stiffness and nominal stress at a given elongation increase with increased strain rate and decrease with increasing temperature. It is appropriate to postulate that the tensile response at high strain rates arises from the combination of hyperelasticity and viscoelasticity. According to the incompressibility assumption, a phenomenologically inspired visco-hyperelastic model was proposed to describe the constitutive behavior of silicone rubber over wide ranges of strain rates and temperatures.

The presented research background is a car body manufacturer’s request to test the car body’s components welded from dissimilar steel sheets. In view of the vehicle crew’s protection, it is necessary to study the static and dynamic behavior of welded steels. Therefore, the influence of laser welding on the mechanical and dynamical properties, microstructure, microhardness, and welded joint surface roughness of interstitial free CR180IF and dual-phase DP600 steels were investigated. Static tensile tests were carried out by using testing machine Zwick 1387, and dynamic test used rotary hammer machine RSO. Sheet steel was tested at different strain rates ranging from 10−3 to 103 s−1. The laser welds’ microstructure and microhardness were evaluated in the base metal, heat-affected zone, and fusion zone. The comprehensive analysis also included chemical analysis, fracture surface analysis, and roughness measurement. The research results showed that the strain rate had an influence on the mechanical properties of base materials and welded joints. The dynamic loading increases the yield stress more than the ultimate tensile strength for the monitored steels, while the most significant increase was recorded for the welded material.

The objective of this study is to investigate the hysteresis loss of ultra-large off-the-road (OTR) tire rubber compounds based on typical operating conditions at mine sites. Cyclic tensile tests were conducted on tread and sidewall compounds at six strain levels ranging from 10% to 100%, eight strain rates from 10% to 500% s−1 and 14 rubber temperatures from −30°C to 100°C. The test results showed that a large strain level (e.g. 100%) increased the hysteresis loss of tire rubber compounds considerably. Hysteresis loss of tire rubber compounds increased with a rise of strain rates, and the increasing rates became greater at large strain levels (e.g. 100%). Moreover, a rise of rubber temperatures caused a decrease in hysteresis loss; however, the decrease became less significant when the rubber temperatures were above 10°C. Compared with tread compounds, sidewall compounds showed greater hysteresis loss values and more rapid increases in hysteresis loss with the rising strain rate.

Vacuum Carburization

We investigated the effects of the austenitizing temperature on the microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties of case-carburized steel after vacuum carburization at 930 °C and then re-austenitization at 820–900 °C followed by oil quenching and tempering. The results show that fractures occurred early with the increase in the austenitizing temperature, although all the carburized specimens showed a similar case hardness of 800 HV0.2 and case depth of 1.2 mm. The highest fracture stress of 1919 MPa was obtained for the experimental steel when the austenitizing temperature was 840 °C due to its fine microstructure and relatively high percentage of retained austenite transformed into martensite during the tensile tests. We also found that the stress–strain behavior of case-carburized specimens could be described by the area-weighted curves of the carburized case and the core in combination. The strain hardening exponent was about 0.4 and did not vary with the increase in the austenitizing temperature. We concluded that the optimum austenitizing temperature was around 840 °C for the experimental steel.

AbstractIn this study, static, dynamic and tribological properties of ultrafine-grained (UFG) oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper were investigated in detail. In order to evaluate the mechanical behaviour at different strain rates, OFHC copper was tested using two devices resulting in static and dynamic regimes. Moreover, the copper was subjected to two different processing methods, which made possible to study the influence of structure. The study of strain rate and microstructure was focused on progress in the mechanical properties after tensile tests. It was found that the strain rate is an important parameter affecting mechanical properties of copper. The ultimate tensile strength increased with the strain rate increasing and this effect was more visible at high strain rates$({\dot \varepsilon} \sim 10^2 \;{\rm{s}}^{ - 1} )$. However, the reduction of area had a different progress depending on microstructural features of materials (coarse-grained vs. ultrafine-grained structure) and introduced strain rate conditions during plastic deformation (static vs. dynamic regime). The wear behaviour of copper was investigated through pin-on-disk tests. The wear tracks examination showed that the delamination and the mild oxidational wears are the main wear mechanisms.

AbstractThe effects of physical ageing and prior immersion time on the ESC behaviour of polycarbonate in ethanol were studied. Constant strain rate tensile tests were performed at a range of strain rates for samples with ageing times varying from 100 hours to 3000 hours and for prior immersion times of between 1 hour and 500 hours. Comparison of tests performed in ethanol and in air gave a good indication of the point of craze initiation. The results showed that there was a reduction in strain to crazing as the strain rate decreased, apart from with the lowest strain rate used. A longer prior immersion time also promoted craze formation. Both of these results are attributable to diffusion effects. Physical ageing had little effect on the ESC behaviour, due to the large amounts of deformation encountered in this system.

Delay Differential

During hot working, deformation of metals such as copper or austenitic steels involves features of both diffusional flow and dislocation motion. As such, the true stress-true strain relationship depends on the strain rate. At low strain rates (or high temperatures), the stress-strain curve displays an oscillatory behavior with multiple peaks. As the strain rate increases (or as the temperature is reduced), the number of peaks on the stress-strain curve decreases, and at high strain rates, the stress rises to a single peak before settling at a steady-state value. It is understood that dynamic recovery is responsible for the stress-strain behavior with zero or a single peak, whereas dynamic recrystallization causes the oscillatory nature. In the past, most predictive models are based on either modified Johnson-Mehl-Avrami kinetic equations or probabilistic approaches. In this work, a delay differential equation is utilized for modeling such a stress-strain behavior. The approach takes into account for a delay time due to diffusion, which is expressed as the critical strain for nucleation for recrystallization. The solution shows that the oscillatory nature depends on the ratio of the critical strain for nucleation to the critical strain for completion for recrystallization. As the strain ratio increases, the stress-strain curve changes from a monotonic rise to a single peak, then to a multiple peak behavior. The model also predicts transient flow curves resulting from strain rate changes.

The use of Cu and Ti in Zn alloys improves mechanical properties as solid solution and dispersoid particles (grain refiners) may harden the material and reduce creep deformation. This is one of the main design problems for parts made with Zn alloys, even at room temperature. In this work the mechanical behavior of a Zn-Cu-Ti low alloy is presented using tensile tests at different strain rates, as well as creep tests at different loads to obtain the value of the strain rate coefficient m in samples parallel and perpendicular to the rolling direction of the Zn strip. The microstructure of the alloy in its raw state, as well as heat treated at 250°C, is also analyzed, as the banded structure produced by rolling influences the strengthening mechanisms that can be achieved through the treatment parameters.
