La2O3 and ZrO2 co-doped silicate glasses were fabricated using melt-quenching method. The network structure, Vickers hardness and elastic modulus of the glasses were measured to investigate their mechanical properties. Our results indicated that the prepared samples exhibited high strength network structures with excellent mechanical performance. The Vickers hardness exceeded 858[Formula: see text]HV, and the elastic modulus reaches 100[Formula: see text]GPa. They increased approximate 37% and 18.6%, respectively, more than the most hardness and modulus reported for this type of glasses, while their transmittance in visible spectrum range was over 90%.

The Relationship

Magnesium-zinc-sulfophosphate glasses with various concentration of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of molar composition 63.5P2O5–20MgO –15ZnSO4–1.5Eu2O3 –yAgNps (y = 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7,0.9 and 1.1 g in excess) were prepared via melt-quenching method.  As-synthesized glasses were characterized at room temperature to determine the relationship between structural and mechanical properties. Densities of glasses were increased from 3.0720 to 4.3304 g.cm-3 with increase in AgNPs embedding levels, suggesting the network shrinkages and enhanced compactness. The Young’s, shear and bulk modulus of glasses were observed to enhance with the increase in AgNPs contents. The Poisson’s ratio of the studied glasses was increased from (0.0978 to 0.1416) while the values of both Vickers hardness (from 0.0658 to 0. 0.0682 GPa) as well as  (from 0.8350 to 0.8916) were increased. The proposed glass composition may be useful for the development of hard surface engineering.

Spot Welded

Resistance spot welded 1.2 mm (t)-thick 1400 MPa martensitic steel (MS1400) samples are fabricated and their microstructure, mechanical properties are investigated thoroughly. The mechanical performance and failure modes exhibit a strong dependence on weld-nugget size. The pull-out failure mode for MS1400 steel resistance spot welds does not follow the conventional weld-nugget size recommendation criteria of 4t0.5. Significant softening was observed due to dual phase microstructure of ferrite and martensite in the inter-critical heat affected zone (HAZ) and tempered martensite (TM) structure in sub-critical HAZ. However, the upper-critical HAZ exhibits obvious higher hardness than the nugget zone (NZ). In addition, the mechanical properties show that the cross-tension strength (CTS) is about one quarter of the tension-shear strength (TSS) of MS1400 weld joints, whilst the absorbed energy of cross-tension and tension-shear are almost identical.

Effect Of Copper

Because of the increase in the levels of residual elements in steel, a programme of work was initiated to determine the limits of copper and tin impurities that were tolerable in steel castings. A 1.5 % Mn—Mo steel was chosen as a base, since any effect of trace elements would be readily apparent in terms of mechanical performance in this medium—high strength steel. The effect of copper was investigated within the range < 0.01-0.5 %, and tin within the range < 0.01-0.26%. The results were analysed by using factorial analysis in the first instance and later, as the amount of experimental work expanded and more results became available, a regression analysis was used.

The CNT/B4C composite with Al2O3 additive was fabricated by hot-pressing following extrusion molding of a CNT/B4C paste, and mechanical properties of the obtained composite were investigated. Many CNTs in the composite aligned along the extrusion direction from SEM observation. 3-points bending strength of the composite was slightly lower than that of the monolithic B4C. Elastic modulus and Vickers hardness of the composite drastically decreased with CNT addition. Fracture toughness of the composite was higher than that of the monolithic B4C.

Abstract In petroleum refinery plants, materials with high sensitization resistance are required. 347AP has particularly been developed for such applications and shows good sensitization resistance owing to its low C content. However, further improvement in high temperature strength is required for high temperature operations in complex refineries, such as delayed cokers. Recently, a new austenitic stainless steel (low C 18Cr-11Ni-3Cu-Mo-Nb-B-N, UNS No. S34752) with high sensitization resistance and high strength at elevated temperatures has been developed. In this study, the mechanical properties and microstructures of several aged specimens will be reported. By conducting several aging heat treatments in the range of 550–750 °C for 300–10,000 h on the developed steel, it was revealed that there were only few coarse precipitates that assumed sigma phase even after aging at 750 °C for 10,000 h. This indicates that the newly developed steel has superior phase stability. The developed steel drastically increased its Vickers hardness by short-term aging treatments. Through transmission electron microscopy observations, the fine precipitates of Cu-rich phase were observed dispersedly in the ruptured specimen. Therefore, the increase in Vickers hardness in short-term aging is possibly owing to the dispersed precipitation of Cu-rich phase. There was further increase in Vickers hardness owing to Z phase precipitation; however, the increment was smaller than that caused by Cu-rich phase. The newly developed alloy demonstrated excellent creep rupture strength even in the long-term tests of approximately 30,000 h, which is attributed to these precipitates.

Pressure Die Casting

In this work we found that the addition of excess Mg can significantly improve the mechanical properties of pseudo-binary Al-Mg2Si alloys after high pressure die casting (HPDC). Al-8Mg2Si-6Mg alloy offered an excellent combination of high strength and reasonable ductility. Excess Mg lowers the Mg2Si content in the eutectic reaction and promotes the formation of Mg2Si as the primary phase, and this is believed to be the origin of improved mechanical performance.

The mechanical properties of C100 high-strength concrete used for frozen shaft were studied in this research. The results demonstrate that: The cementitious materials 570kg/m3 concrete 28 strength is only 104.5MPa, which is lower than the C100 requirements; the early strength (3d) of the concrete doped with 30% admixture is less than 20% admixture concrete, but with the age increase, its strength gradually reaches close to concrete doped with 20% admixture, and eventually exceeds the concrete doped with 20% admixture.The tension-compression of high strength concrete doped with 15% fly ash and 15% slag is the smallest, while the tension-compression of the concrete doped 10% fly ash and 10% slag reaches the maximum.The Poisson's ratio of C100 concrete is between 0.20 and 0.24; the compressive elastic modulus is about 50GPa; and the tensile elastic modulus is about 110GPa.

ABSTRACTSilicon carbide (SiC) fibers made by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are of interest for organic, ceramic, and metal matrix composite materials due their high strength, high elastic modulus, and retention of mechanical properties at elevated processing and operating temperatures. The properties of SCS-6™ silicon carbide fibers, which are made by a commercial process and consist largely of stoichiometric SiC, were compared with an experimental carbon-rich CVD SiC fiber, to which excess carbon was added during the CVD process. The concentration, homogeneity, and distribution of carbon were measured using energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The effect of excess carbon on the tensile strength, elastic modulus, and the crystallographic and microstructural properties of CVD silicon carbide fibers was investigated using tensile testing, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

In this paper the mechanical properties of a series of hydrogen functionalized graphyne are investigated through acting tensile loads on the monolayer networks. Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to calculate the fracture strains and corresponding maximum forces for pristine graphyne along both armchair and zigzag directions. Furthermore, hydrogen functionalized graphynes with different functionalization sites are analyzed to investigate the effect of functionlization on the mechanical performance. Finally, Young's modulus of all the investigated architectures are computed. The obtained results show that monolayer graphyne is mechanically stable with high strength and stiffness, and the mechanical performance can be tuned through structure engineering and functionalization.

AbstractConsistent mechanical performance from implantation through healing and scaffold degradation is highly desired for tissue-regenerative scaffolds, e.g. when used for vascular grafts. The aim of this study was the paired in vivo mechanical assessment of biostable and fast degrading electrospun polyester-urethane scaffolds to isolate the effects of material degradation and tissue formation after implantation. Biostable and degradable polyester-urethane scaffolds with substantial fibre alignment were manufactured by electrospinning. Scaffold samples were implanted paired in subcutaneous position in rats for 7, 14 and 28 days. Morphology, mechanical properties and tissue ingrowth of the scaffolds were assessed before implantation and after retrieval. Tissue ingrowth after 28 days was 83 ± 10% in the biostable scaffold and 77 ± 4% in the degradable scaffold. For the biostable scaffold, the elastic modulus at 12% strain increased significantly between 7 and 14 days and decreased significantly thereafter in fibre but not in cross-fibre direction. The degradable scaffold exhibited a significant increase in the elastic modulus at 12% strain from 7 to 14 days after which it did not decrease but remained at the same magnitude, both in fibre and in cross-fibre direction. Considering that the degradable scaffold loses its material strength predominantly during the first 14 days of hydrolytic degradation (as observed in our previous in vitro study), the consistency of the elastic modulus of the degradable scaffold after 14 days is an indication that the regenerated tissue construct retains it mechanical properties.
