AbstractThe plastic deformation behavior of single crystals of two transition-metal diborides, ZrB2 and TiB2 with the AlB2 structure has been investigated at room temperature as a function of crystal orientation and specimen size by micropillar compression tests. Although plastic flow is not observed at all for their bulk single crystals at room temperature, plastic flow is successfully observed at room temperature by the operation of slip on {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<11$${\bar{2}}$$ 2 ¯ 3> in ZrB2 and by the operation of slip on {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<0001> and {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<11$${\bar{2}}$$ 2 ¯ 0> in TiB2. Critical resolve shear stress values at room temperature are very high, exceeding 1 GPa for all observed slip systems; 3.01 GPa for {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<11$${\bar{2}}$$ 2 ¯ 3> slip in ZrB2 and 1.72 GPa and 5.17 GPa, respectively for {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<0001> and {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<11$${\bar{2}}$$ 2 ¯ 0> slip in TiB2. The identified operative slip systems and their CRSS values are discussed in comparison with those identified in the corresponding bulk single crystals at high temperatures and those inferred from micro-hardness anisotropy in the early studies.

AbstractHistorically known for being one of the major pollutants in the world, the construction industry, always in constant advancement and development, is currently evolving towards more environmentally friendly technologies and methods. Scientists and engineers seek to develop and implement green alternatives to conventional construction materials. One of these alternatives is to introduce an abundant, hard to recycle, material that could serve as a partial aggregate replacement in masonry bricks or even in a more conventional concrete mixture. The present work studied the use of 3 different types of repurposed plastics with different constitutions and particle size distribution. Accordingly, several brick and concrete mix designs were developed to determine the practicality of using these plastics as partial aggregate replacements. After establishing proper working material ratios for each brick and concrete mix, compression tests as well as tensile tests for the concrete mixes helped determine the structural capacity of both applications. Presented results proved that structural strength can indeed be reached in a masonry unit, using up to a 43% in volume of plastic. Furthermore, a workable structural strength for concrete can be achieved at fourteen days of curing, using up to a 50% aggregate replacement. A straightforward cost assessment for brick production was produced as well as various empirical observations and recommendations concerning the feasibility of each repurposed plastic type examined.

The erosion of limestone and calcarenite ridges that existed parallel to the Mediterranean shoreline forms the calcareous sand (CS) formation at the surface layer of Egypt's northern coast. The CS is often combined with broken shells which are considered geotechnically problematic due to their possible crushability and relatively high compressibility. In this research, CS samples collected from a site along the northern coast of Egypt are studied to better understand its behavior under normal and shear stresses. Reconstituted CS specimens with different ratios of broken shells (BS) are also investigated to study the effect of BS ratios on the soil mixture strength behavior. The strength is evaluated using laboratory direct-shear and one-dimensional compression tests (oedometer test). The CS specimens are not exposed to significant crushability even under relatively high-stress levels. In addition, a 3D finite element analysis (FEA) is presented in this paper to study the degradation offshore pile capacity in CS having different percentages of BS. The stress–strain results using oedometer tests are compared with a numerical model, and it gave identical matching for most cases. The effects of pile diameter and embedment depth parameters are then studied for the case study on the northern coast. Three different mixing ratios of CS and BS have been used, CS + 10% BS, CS + 30% BS, and CS + 50% BS, which resulted in a decrease of the ultimate vertical compression pile load capacity by 8.8%, 15%, and 16%, respectively.

A series of experiments including unconfined compression tests, three-axial tests, compaction tests, and split tensile tests were undertaken to investigate the influence of compaction parameters on the behaviour of bagasse ash-calcium carbide residue stabilized soil. A preliminary study on soil with the addition of 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, and 12% calcium carbide residue established that the lime fixation point (LFP) was 4%. Then 9% bagasse ash was added to soil with 4% calcium carbide residue, and the cation exchanges and pozzolanic reactions were investigated. The addition of calcium carbide residue to bagasse ash stabilized soil caused short-term changes due to cation exchange reactions, including an increase in the friction angle and cohesion in the stabilized soil. In addition, due to the short-term reaction, the maximum stiffness in three-axial tests occurred in the samples moulded with less than their optimum moisture content (OMC), whereas the peak strength occurred in the samples moulded at their OMC. After a 28-day curing period, pozzolanic reactions improved significantly the three-axial peak strength and stiffness of the stabilized soil, and the maximum three-axial shear strength and stiffness occurred in the samples prepared below their OMC.

Czochralski silicon single crystals were deformed in tensile tests along the direction at between 1173 K and 1373. Yield point phenomenon were observed in the specimens deformed at below 1273 K while continues yield was observed in the specimens deformed at above 1323 K. It is due to the effect of dislocation starvation in the used crystals. Work-hardening rates in stage II were consistent with those reported in fcc crystals such as copper. The onset of stage II was found to be active before the Schmid factor of the second slip system becomes larger than that of the primary slip system. Electron backscattered diffraction images indicated clear kink bands near grips and in the parallel portion. The kink bands were formed at the middle of stage I, which suggest that the formation of kink bands is a trigger of stage II.

The main disadvantage of fcc (face-centred cubic lattice) high-entropy alloys is the low stress level at the yield point (σ0.1) at a test temperature above room temperature. This restricts their practical application at high test temperatures from 773 K to 973 K. In this study, we found that a high stress level was reached at the yield point σ0.1 ≈ G/100–G/160 (G is the shear modulus) of the [001]- and [1¯44]-oriented crystals of the Co23.36Cr23.29Fe23.80Ni21.88Al7.67 (Al0.3CoCrFeNi) high-entropy alloy (HEA) within a wide temperature range of 77–973 K under tension, due to the occurrence, of nanotwins, multipoles, dislocations under plastic deformation at 77 K and the subsequent precipitation of ordered L12 and B2 particles. It was shown that grain boundaries are not formed and the samples remain in a single-crystal state after low-temperature deformation and subsequent ageing at 893 K for 50 h. Achieving a high-strength state in the Al0.3CoCrFeNi HEA single crystals induces the orientation dependence of the critical resolved shear stresses (τcr) at T ≥ 200 K (τcr[1¯44] > τcr[001]), which is absent in the initial single-phase crystals, weakens the temperature dependence of σ0.1 above 573 K, and reduces plasticity to 5–13% in the [1¯44] orientation and 15–20% in the [001] orientation.

Cyclic stress-strain measurements have to be performed in order to determine the cyclic plasticity parameters of material models describing the Bauschinger effect. For thin wires, the performance of tensile tests is often not possible due to necking of the specimen on exceeding the yield stress, whereas compression tests are uncritical. This paper presents an approach to determine the cyclic plasticity parameters by performance of compression tests for wires before and after drawing. Here, a simple analogous model is used instead of finite-element (FE) simulations. This approach has been applied for two different integration time steps in order to evaluate their influence on the fit and the accuracy of the integration. It is shown that good accuracy can be obtained for the cyclic plasticity parameters. For FE simulations using larger integration time steps, large deviations have been noted. However, there the analogous model could also be adopted in order to find appropriate model parameters. In general, it is the intention of this paper to show that searching an analogous model can be a very time- and cost-saving task.

ABSTRACTCompressive creep behavior is investigated in ternary Ni3Al single crystals containing Ti, Si, Hf and Cr with stress axes parallel to the crystallographic orientation near [001]. Then a comparison is made with the results of high temperature compression tests under a constant strain rate for the same orientation where plastic behavior is characterized by a distinct yield drop followed by steadystate deformation. It is found that the deformation mechanism for the two cases is identical, namely octahedral viscous flow being expressed by the state equation of the power-law type with a stress exponent of about 3 to 4. The effect of offstoichiometry on the creep resistance is then examined in Ni3(Al,5 at%Ti) alloys with different Ni concentrations. The results support the observation in the polycrystalline compound where the creep resistance increases with Ni concentration on both sides of stoichiometry exhibiting a discontinuity at stoichiometry. Finally, the apparent activation energy in the power-law type state equation for the steady state creep deformation is estimated for all the ternary alloys examined. They are in general in good agreement with that for diffusion of ternary elements in Ni3Al. However, the relative magnitude of the value can not simply be compared since the activation energy depends on deviations from stoichiometry.
