The three-dimensional weaving process enables to produce near-net shaped complex preforms used as reinforcement of composite materials. However, the lack of knowledge on the mechanical behaviour of these three-dimensional woven structures may restrict their use for composite material. To fill this gap, we have tempted to highlight their specific mechanical properties according to their endogenous parameters. Based on these different architectures produced on the same weaving loom, several non-impregnated coupons have been mechanically characterized in all the directions of the three-dimensional warp interlock fabrics with quasi-static tensile tests in warp and weft directions as well as in-plane shear tests. According to our analyses, it has been revealed that the combination of several parameters as the woven pattern, the end and pick densities and the presence or not of stuffer warp yarns inside the three-dimensional fabrics may significantly influence the mechanical behaviour of the three-dimensional warp interlock architectures.

The tensile behaviour of braid reinforcement is classically described by the behaviour of composite elaborated from these reinforcements. Few studies concern the tensile behaviour of braided fabrics. In this paper biaxial and triaxial braids are manufactured on a braiding loom. The evolution of key parameters as linear mass and braiding angle in function of process parameters is presented. Braid reinforcements are characterized in uniaxial tensile. The mechanical behaviour is analysed and compared in function of the braiding angle, but also different kinds of braid are considered. A specific behaviour called “double-peak” is identified for triaxial braids which have a higher braiding angle. The evolution of the braiding angle measured during tensile tests gives a comprehension on the mechanical behaviour of dry braids. Associated with this experimental study, an analytical model is also proposed, to predict mechanical properties of braid reinforcements.

This paper studies a polymer composite material - a unidirectional organoplastic based on Rusar-NT aramid fiber and a melt epoxy-polysulfone binder. Organoplastic has the following mechanical properties: tensile strength 2060 MPa, Young's modulus 101 GPa. The microstructure of the fiber and the polymer matrix in the organoplastic samples was studied before and after tensile tests. The features of the formation of the binder structure depending on the packing density of the fibers in organoplastics have been determined. The nature of the destruction of fibers and polymer matrix caused by the uniaxial tension has been studied.

Abstract In this study, fracture behavior and strength in the flat braided bar with a circular hole were investigated by static and fatigue test. Two type of specimens were prepared. They are a braided flat bar with an integrally-formed braided hole and a braided flat bar with a machined hole. Moreover, we also examined a specimen that had a metal pin inserted at the circular hole. This specimen was subjected to a static tensile test. The results of the tensile tests indicate that the strength of the flat bar with a braided hole was larger than that of the one with the machined hole. Furthermore, from the results of the fatigue tests, the flat bar with the braided hole showed higher fatigue property than that of the one with the machined hole.

Abstract The aim of the work was to produce a nanobainitic structure in the commercial bearing steel - 100CrMnSi6-4 and to characterize its structure and mechanical properties. In order to produce this structure the austempering heat treatment was performed, with parameters that have been selected on the basis of dilatometric measurements of phase transformation kinetics in steel. The heat treatment process was performed in laboratory as well as in industrial furnaces. The obtained structure was characterized using transmission electron microscopy. In order to investigate the effect of the microstructure parameters on the material’s mechanical properties, the hardness, impact strength and static tensile tests have been conducted.

Abstract Only small amounts of additives are needed to formulate one-component polyurethane (1C PUR) adhesives for various applications. The current study illuminates the effects of the formulation on the mechanical properties of pure adhesives, on the one hand, and their performance in bonded wood joints on the other. Tensile shear tests on bonded wood joints, tensile tests on adhesive films, and nanoindentation measurements in the interphase region of the bond were performed. Analyses by means of infrared, atomic force, and electron microscopy provided the explanatory basis for the results obtained. Additionally to laboratory made 1C PUR, unmodified commercial 1C PUR, melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF), and phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde (PRF) were tested for comparison. The results obtained confirm that the mechanical properties of 1C PUR adhesives are significantly affected by their prepolymer composition. The adhesive formulation by means of additives, on the other hand, does not affect the mechanical properties but is to a large extent responsible for the bonding performance.

Mg based thin films are of increasing interest due to the potential in varying the corrosion properties in comparison to bulk alloys of the same nominal composition. In this work the mechanical behaviour and the corrosion performance of sputtered thin films consisting of magnesium alloys with the compositions Mg4Y3Gd and Mg4Y3Nd were investigated by tensile tests and electrochemical corrosion tests, respectively. The tensile tests showed that the sputtering parameters have an enormous influence on the mechanical properties of the thin films. By variation of the Ar sputtering pressure and the DC sputtering power it was possible to fabricate films with widely varying mechanical behaviour reaching from brittle to very ductile films which could be strained to more than 30%. The determined dependency between mechanical properties and deposition conditions was found to be present in both investigated alloys. The corrosion tests revealed that the corrosion behaviour of the investigated samples is not correlated to the mechanical properties of the thin films, as the rate of corrosion and the tendency to localized corrosion do not change significantly upon the deposition conditions, which dramatically influence the mechanical properties.

The elaboration of a modified friction-extrusion method aimed at obtaining 2017A aluminum rods of gradient microstructure is described. This was achieved by cutting spiral grooves on the face of the stamp used for alloy extrusion. The experiments were carried out at a constant material feed (~10 mm/min) and a range of tool rotation speeds (80 to 315 rpm). The microstructure observations were carried out using light microscopy (LM) and both scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). The mechanical properties were assessed through hardness measurements and static tensile tests. The performed investigations show that material simultaneous radial and longitudinal flow, enforced by friction of the rotating tool head and extrusion, results in the formation of two zones of very different microstructures. At the perpendicular section, the outer zone stands out from the core due to circumferential elongation of strings of particles, while in the inner zone the particles are arranged in a more uniform way. Simultaneously, the grain size of the outer zone is refined by two to four times as compared with the inner one. The transfer from the outer zone to the core area is of gradient type. The hardness of the outer zone was found to be ~10% to ~20% higher than that of the core.
