Over Time

Introduction: The aim of this study was to find out the impact of degradation and regeneration of force over time at NiTi springs on the value and course of the final acting force and to verify the possibility of using these phenomena for a directed transition to the reverse plateau and its maintaining. Methods: Static and cyclic mechanical loadings were performed. At first unused springs were tested. Afterwards the springs were mechanically stabilized by stress cycling and finally tested again. The difference in shape of the working curves was assessed. For simulation and description of the force degradation the modified Voight model was used. Results: New springs, mainly those with large hysteresis, showed a significant stress-strain curve movement and shape changes during the cycling. The effect of the stress-strain curve course change disappeared fully in the stabilized springs. Multiple loading led to an overall decrease of force value during the measurement. The effect of force degradation and regeneration over time by simple static loading varies in the range of percentage of the nominal force in the plateau area. The transition between stress-strain curve phases caused by the degradation or regeneration of the force wasn’t observed in case of mechanically stabilized springs. Conclusions: Springs should be mechanically stabilized before their application. The degree of force degradation over time is insignificant for mechanically stabilized springs. Degradation or regeneration of force over time, mechanical stabilization or micromovements in the mouth don’t cause any transition between individual stress-strain curve phases.

Abstract We have investigated a relation between micromechanical processes and the stress-strain curve of a dry fiber network during tensile loading. By using a detailed particle-level simulation tool we investigate, among other things, the impact of “non-traditional” bonding parameters, such as compliance of bonding regions, work of separation and the actual number of effective bonds. This is probably the first three-dimensional model which is capable of simulating the fracture process of paper accounting for nonlinearities at the fiber level and bond failures. The failure behavior of the network considered in the study could be changed significantly by relatively small changes in bond strength, as compared to the scatter in bonding data found in the literature. We have identified that compliance of the bonding regions has a significant impact on network strength. By comparing networks with weak and strong bonds, we concluded that large local strains are the precursors of bond failures and not the other way around.

Abstract This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the stress-strain relation of annealed 2S aluminum when subjected to compression impact. Two methods of securing a dynamic stress-strain curve are considered, namely, from the measurement of impact stress as a function of maximum plastic strain, and impact stress as a function of the impact velocity. The dynamic stress-strain curves obtained by these methods lie considerably above the static curve. The elevation in stress of the dynamic relations above the static relation increases progressively from zero at the elastic limit to about 20 per cent at a strain of 4.5 per cent. However, the two dynamic relations are not coincident which indicates that the behavior of the material cannot be described by a single stress-strain curve for all impact velocities. A family of stress-strain curves which differ slightly from each other and which depend upon the final strain is postulated in order to correlate both sets of data adequately.

The Difference

To suppress the appearance of Lu¨ders strain and to decrease yield to tensile strength ratio in the L-direction (longitudinal direction), as well as the C-direction (circumferential direction), have been more important for strain-based design. In this study, conventional UOE and ERW pipes were examined in terms of tensile properties in both directions. In the case of UOE pipes, yield point was clearly observed on the stress-strain curve in the C-direction. However, stress-strain curves in the L-direction showed the round-house type. This difference became prominent after heat treatment for the anti-corrosion. Namely, clear Lu¨ders strain appeared in the C-direction at a lower aging temperature compared with that in the L-direction. On the other hand, contrasting results were obtained in the case for ERW pipes. Thus far, it’s been thought that the difference between UOE and ERW pipe was caused by the direction of final strain during the pipe forming process. There are also differences in the occurrence of Lu¨ders strain between each grade. A stress-strain curve maintained the round-house type in X100 grade pipe after the heat treatment at 240°C for five minutes; however, X70 grade pipe showed the stress-strain curve in the L-direction with Lu¨ders strain after the heat treatment at the same temperature.

The Difference

Identification of the constants of material models is always a concern. In the present work, a combined experimental, numerical and optimization technique is employed to determine the constants of Zerilli-Armstrong model. The experiments are conducted on a compressive Hopkinson bar, the simulations are performed using finite element method and optimization is carried out using genetic algorithm. In the method adopted here, there is no need for experimental stress-strain curve which is always accompanied by restricting phenomenon such as necking in tension and bulging in compression. Instead of stress-strain curve, the difference between the post-deformation profiles of specimens obtained from experiment and the numerical simulations is adopted as the objective function for optimization purposes. The results suggest that the approach introduced in this work can substitute costly instrumentations normally needed for obtaining stress-strain curves at high strain rates and elevated temperature.

In order to study the mechanical properties of recycled concrete with the same strength, three kinds of recycled concrete have been made which their intensities reached C25, C30, C35 at the recycled coarse aggregate replacement ratios (0%, 50%, 100%), and severally completed the stress-strain curve test on the same strength of recycled concrete, separately analyzed the variance about failure pattern and peak strain, elastic modulus that all belonged to recycled concrete under the condition of the same strength. Studies have shown that the overall shape of recycled concretes stress-strain curves is similar to normal concretes under the same strength, and the difference is small, modulus of elasticity decreases with the increase of recycled coarse aggregate replacement ratio, while the peak strain basicly remains unchanged. Their curves can be used two stages respectively and also be represented by three fitting polynomial and rational expression, their descent stages steepened gradually with the increase of recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate.

Part 1: The heterogeneous character of a real metal is represented by a model in which the metal is considered to consist of a large number of elements with a variation of individual stress-strain responses. The variation of Poisson's ratio which occurs as a function of strain is used to measure the progress of yielding through the material and hence to calculate the variation in elemental yield strains. By use of data obtained from the completely elastic and fully plastic parts of the stress-strain curve and the yield strain distribution, the elastoplastic transition behaviour can be calculated. Comparisons are presented between computed and experimental stress-strain curves for aluminium, copper, magnesium, nickel, and titanium alloy to demonstrate the validity of the proposed model. Part 2: Sufficient cyclic stressing can change the subsequent stress-strain curve of a steel which normally has a yield point into one with a continuous elastoplastic transition. A model of the elastoplastic transition in metals, developed by the authors in Part 1 to represent the stress-strain behaviour of metals with a continuous elastoplastic transition, is then proposed for representing the stress-strain behaviour of steels in which the yield point has been removed, by stress cycling. Results are presented to show good agreement between the model and the observed stress-strain behaviour of four steels, one of which had no yield point and the other three had their yield points removed by cyclic stressing.

The Impact

Experiments are reported involving elastic-plastic pulses due to explosive loading at one end of long, annealed, commercially pure, aluminum rods at room temperature and at elevated temperatures up to 750 deg F. The stress waves were detected by a condenser microphone at the far end of the rod and, in some cases, by strain gages at a cross section distant from the impact end. The essential features of the recorded velocity-time profiles and strain-time profiles are found to be in agreement with the predictions of rate independent elastic-plastic theory which takes a Bauschinger effect into account. At room temperature, the reference dynamic stress-strain curve does not differ appreciably from the quasi-static stress-strain curve whereas at elevated temperatures there appears to be a marked difference between the dynamic and quasi-static stress-strain curves. The experiments also serve to determine the dynamic proportional limit which is found to be fairly insensitive to temperature. Since the maximum plastic strains are small at cross sections remote from the impact end, the measurements, and consequently the conclusions, are limited to small strains beyond the proportional limit.

Thermodynamic Basis

Abstract It has already been pointed out elsewhere (Monatshefte für Chemie 72, 32 (1938); Rubber Chem. Tech. 12, 64(1939)) that the difference between the adiabatic and isothermal stress-strain curves of rubber is too great to be explained on a thermodynamic basis alone. It was suggested that the position of the adiabatic curves might be governed by the fact that the rate of stretching itself has a decisive effect on the behavior of the chains of molecules during stretching. To throw light on this phenomenon, stress-strain curves were obtained, by means of the stretching apparatus already described in the paper mentioned, at various rates of elongation which still fell within the range of adiabatic stretching. The operation was carried out in such a way that a chronometer started electrically when the rubber began to elongate, and stopped again when the rubber reached an elongation of 450 per cent. With the aid of this contrivance, stress-strain curves were obtained at rates corresponding to 0.68, 2.5, 5.7 and 9.1 seconds' elapsed time for the stretching. For comparison, an isotherm was obtained by loading rubber strips of the same dimensions with various weights. A vulcanizate containing 2 per cent of combined sulfur was used as experimental material. The temperature was 13° C. The results of these measurements are shown graphically in Fig. 1. It may be seen that the adiabatic curve corresponding to the highest rate of elongation has the least steep ascent, i.e., at the highest rate of elongation the stress is greatest at a given elongation. With increase in the time of stretching, the curves approach nearer and nearer to the isothermal stress-strain curve. This would seem to prove that the rate of elongation plays an important part, wholly independent of any thermodynamic effects. Perhaps during rapid stretching there is actual rupture of chains which are still coiled and which mutually obstruct the smooth course of the stress-strain curve. It can also be seen from the position of the curves that the decisive effect shown by the time factor is of the order of seconds, since the difference between the curves corresponding to 0.68 and 2.5 seconds is very small, whereas the difference between the curves corresponding to 2.5 and 5.7 seconds appears to be considerable.

Direct Applicability

Investigations were carried out on the direct applicability of a set of grooves of multi-roll wire mills for different materials having different stress-strain curves. Special evaluation was made on the stability of the geometry among different materials when rolled under the same mill setting conditions. Influence of inter-stand tension generated by the change in roll force due to the difference in stress-strain curve was studied both numerically and experimentally. A group of three-roll and four-roll-type mills is superior to two-roll-type mill in getting rid of the time for mill setting.

Commercial Purity Aluminum

By pulling the chip at various angles during metal cutting, it has been possible to greatly decrease the shear strains and thus to obtain a wide range of shear strains with a single tool. Using this technique, stress-strain curves for commercial purity aluminum have been obtained at −320 deg F (78 deg K) and 68 deg F (293 deg K). These results lie above those obtained from compression tests on the same material and the difference is ascribed largely to strain rate. Limits are imposed on the chip-pulling technique by an instability which appears when the direction of pulling makes too great an angle with the tool face and by fracture.
