AbstractThe mechanical behaviour of snow was studied at — 10°C under uniaxial tensile stress in a range of cross-head speed 6.8 × 10–8 to 3.1 × 10–4 ms–1 and snow density 240-470 kg m–3.It was found from the resisting force-deformation curves that the snow was deformed in two different ways: namely, brittle and ductile deformation at high and low strain-rates, respectively. The critical strain-rate dividing the two deformation modes was found to depend on the density of snow. In ductile deformation, many small cracks appeared throughout the entire specimen. Their features were observed by making thin sections and they were compared with small cracks formed in natural snow on a mountain slope.The maximum strength of snow was found to depend on strain-rate: at strain-rates above about 10–5 s –1, the maximum strength increased with decreasing strain-rate but below 10–5 s–1 it decreased with decreasing strain-rate.

AbstractThis paper presents and discusses the results of constant deformation-rate tests on laboratory-prepared polycrystalline ice. Strain-rates ranged from 10−7to 10−1s−1, grain–size ranged from 1.5 to 5.8 mm, and the test temperature was −5°C.At strain-rates between 10−7and 10−3s−1, the stress-strain-rate relationship followed a power law with an exponent ofn= 4.3 calculated without regard to grain-size. However, a reversal in the grain-size effect was observed: below a transition point near 4 × 10−6s−1the peak stress increased with increasing grain-size, while above the transition point the peak stress decreased with increasing grain-size. This latter trend persisted to the highest strain-rates observed. At strain-rates above 10−3s−1the peak stress became independent of strain-rate.The unusual trends exhibited at the lower strain-rates are attributed to the influence of the grain-size on the balance of the operative deformation mechanisms. Dynamic recrystallization appears to intervene in the case of the finer-grained material and serves to lower the peak stress. At comparable strain-rates, however, the large-grained material still experiences internal micro-fracturing, and thin sections reveal extensive deformation in the grain-boundary regions that is quite unlike the appearance of the strain-induced boundary migration characteristic of the fine-grained material.

3D Braided Composites

The uniaxial tensile properties of 4-step 3D braided E-glass/epoxy composites under quasi-static and high-strain rate loadings have been investigated to evaluate the tensile failure mode at different strain rates. The uniaxial tensile properties at high strain rates from 800/s to 2100/s were tested using the split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) technique. The tensile properties at quasi-static strain rate were also tested and compared with those in high strain rates. Z-transform theory is applied to 3D braided composites to characterize the system dynamic behaviors in frequency domain. The frequency responses and the stability of 3D braided composites under quasi-static and high-strain rate compression have been analyzed and discussed in the Z-transform domain. The results indicate that the stress-strain curves are rate sensitive, and tensile modulus, maximum tensile stress and corresponding tensile strain are also sensitive to the strain rate. The tensile modulus, maximum tensile stress of the 3D braided composites are linearly increased with the strain rate. With increasing of the strain rate (from 0.001/s to 2100/s), the tensile failure of the 3D braided composite specimens has a tendency of transition from ductile failure to brittle failure. The magnitude response and phase response is very different in quasi-static loading with that in high-strain rate loading. The 3D braided composite system is more stable at high strain rate than quasi-static loading.

A series of tensile tests at constant strain rate were conducted on tin-lead based solders with different Sn content under wide ranges of temperatures and strain rates. It was shown that the stress-strain relationships had strong temperature- and strain rate- dependence. The parameters of Anand model for four solders were determined. The four solders were 60Sn-40Pb, 40Sn-60Pb, 10Sn-90Pb and 5Sn-95Pb. Anand constitutive model was employed to simulate the stress-strain behaviors of the solders for the temperature range from 313K to 398K and the strain rate range from 0.001%sP -1 P to 2%sP -1 P. The results showed that Anand model can adequately predict the rate- and temperature- related constitutive behaviors at all test temperatures and strain rates.

Processing Methods

In fabrication of high strength materials coupled with improved mechanical properties; focus on integration of multifunctional reinforcements are increasing along with novel processing methods. Single layer 2-D material Graphene are among one such novel material with huge aspect ratio, posse’s high strength. But the real challenge is processing and incorporation of these reinforcements with appropriate content in metals or its alloys matrix. Current research work focus to study the anisotropic behavior on addition of pristine Graphene/MWCNT and processing methods like ball milling under constant ball to powder precursor ratio (BPR) of AA 2024 nanocomposites. The extent change in aspect ratio, size of the nanoparticle mixtures during ball milling were analyzed under SEM and Raman spectroscopy. Thus obtained (ball milled) precursors are consolidated through vacuum hot press and hot extruded to get typical flat specimen at optimized processing parameters. XRD analysis, relative density and hardness measurement is done on extruded composites. Thus developed composites are subjected to study the anisotropic behavior at various orientations and strain rates (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 mm/min) using uniaxial tensile testing instrument and corresponding stress strains graphs were obtained. The fracture surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and its shows the nucleation of the dimple size are varies with increasing the strain rate and also deeper dimple size were noticed. Negative strain sensitivity were observed for the lower strain rate (0.1 and 0.3 mm/min) and positive strain sensitivity for higher strain rates. Microstructural anisotropy infers that AA2024-Graphene/MWCNT composites are sensitive to strain rate and shear type of failure is observed on increasing the strain rate.

Calendered nonwovens, formed by polymeric fibres, are three-phase heterogeneous materials, comprising a fibrous matrix, bond-areas and interface regions. As a result, two main factors of anisotropy can be identified. The first one is ascribable to a random fibrous microstructure, with the second one related to orientation of a bond pattern. This paper focuses on the first type of anisotropy in thin and thick nonwovens under uniaxial tensile loading. Individual and combined effects of anisotropy and strain rate were studied by conducting uniaxial tensile tests in various loading directions (0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° with regard to the main fabric’s direction) and strain rate (0.01, 0.1 and 0.5 s−1). Fabrics exhibited an initial linear elastic response, followed by nonlinear strain hardening up to necking and final softening. The studied allowed assessment of the extent the effects of loading direction (anisotropy), planar density and strain rate on the mechanical response of the calendered fabrics. The evidence supported the conclusion that anisotropy is the most crucial factor, also delineating the balance between the fabric’s load-bearing capacity and extension level along various directions. The strain rate produced a marked effect on the fibre’s response, with increased stress at higher strain rate while this effect in the fabric was small. The results demonstrated the differences of the mechanical behaviour of fabrics from that of their constituent fibres.
