This work mainly focuses on designing a novel aluminum alloy 6061-T6 pressure vessel liner intended for use in launch vehicles. Fabrication of custom-made welding fixtures for the assembly of liner parts, namely two hemispherical domes and end boss, is illustrated. The parts of the liner are joined using the cold metal transfer welding process, and the welding trials are performed to arrive at an optimized parametric range. The metallurgical characterization of weld joint reveals the existence of dendritic structures (equiaxed and columnar). Microhardness of base and weld metal was 70 and 65 HV, respectively. The tensile strength of base and weld metal was 290 and 197 MPa, respectively, yielding a joint efficiency of 68%. Finite-element analysis of a uniaxial tensile test was performed to predict the tensile strength and location of the fracture in base and weld metal. The experimental and predicted tensile test results were found to be in good agreement.

In the present paper, a modified micromechanics based model that describes the crack bridging stress in randomly oriented discontinuous fiber reinforced engineered cementitious composite is developed. In the model, effect of multiple matrix cracking on fiber embedded length, which in turn influencing fiber bridging in the composite, is taken into consideration. First, crack spacing of high strength-low shrinkage engineered cementitious composite was experimentally determined by photographing the specimen surface at some given loading points during uniaxial tensile test. The diagram of average cracking spacing and loading time of each composite is obtained based on above data. Then, fiber bridging model is modified by introducing a revised fiber embedment length as a function of crack spacing. The model is verified with uniaxial tensile test on both tensile strength and crack opening. Good agreement between model and test results is obtained. The modified model can be used in design and prediction of tensile properties of fiber reinforced cementitious composites with characteristics of multiple matrix cracking.

The present work deals with the microwave-assisted compression moulding of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-based composites. In the present work, 20 wt% of reinforcement in the form of kenaf and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was used to fabricate HDPE/kenaf and HDPE/MWCNT polymer composites. The mechanical characterizations of the microwave-processed composites were carried out in terms of uniaxial tensile test with different strain rate, multistep stress relaxation, flexural and impact test. The uniaxial tensile test revealed that the tensile modulus of microwave-processed four-layered HDPE/kenaf polymer composite was 35.2% higher than that of HDPE/MWCNT polymer composite. The HDPE/MWCNT polymer composite showed a minimum of 1.25 GPa and a maximum of 4.7 GPa of elastic modulus when tested at different strain rate. The impact energy absorbed by the HDPE/kenaf polymer composite (1.055 J) was 81.12% higher than the HDPE/MWCNT polymer composite (0.582 J).

The standard uniaxial tensile test is the widely accepted method to obtain relevant properties of mechanical characterization of sheet metal materials. However the range of strain obtained from tensile test is limited. The bulge test is an alternative to obtain ranges of deformation, higher than tensile test, thus permitting a better characterization for material behaviour. This paper presents a sensitivity analysis for some influencing variables used in bulge measurements, thus giving some guidelines for the evaluation of the stress-strain curve from experimental results using a developed experimental mechanical system. Additionally, using bulge test up to fracture shall give material information regarding damage, which in turn may be used to evaluate and calibrate damage models. A methodology is presented to be used for evaluation and calibration of Ito-Goya damage model of damage prediction.
