The stress–strain properties of the isotropic and rolled composites based on polyethylene (PE) and rubber particles are studied. The mechanical properties are determined at 20, 50, and 70 °С. It is shown that one of the factors ensuring the maintenance of plasticity of the filled rolled PE is an increase in the crack resistance of the matrix, which is manifested in the changes of the forms of defects that arise during tension. At the rubber content no more than 20 wt %, a temperature rise leads to a change in the mechanism of the composite fracture from brittle to ductile. It is shown that the positive effect of rolling of the rubber plastics is retained during their testing at elevated temperatures.

Recent developments in the production of ecologically friendly building composites have led to a renewed interest in the use of vegetable fibers as a reinforcement element. Traditional pure Plaster of Paris (POP) can suffer from the development of micro-cracks due to thermal expansion. Therefore, sisal fiber was studied for its potential as an ecological element to restrict and delay the development of micro-cracks in POP. Different sisal proportions of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 wt. % of POP were used to characterize the physical and mechanical properties of POP at the ambient temperature. Then, the effects of temperatures of 25, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500  were investigated. Results proved that the composite of 10% sisal fiber had the best mechanical properties. Also, when the fiber content was increased, the composite’s performance was enhanced, becoming better able to resist elevated temperatures. However, raising the temperature to 300 or above had a negative effect on the mechanical properties, which were significantly decreased due to the degradation of the sisal fiber.

The paper is focused on the research of the cyclic loading of hybrid adhesive bonds based on eggshell microparticles in polymer composite. The aim of the research was to characterize the behavior of hybrid adhesive bonds with composite adhesive layer in quasi-static tests. An epoxy resin was used as the matrix and microparticles of eggshells were used as the filler. The adhesive bonds were exposed to cyclic loading and their service life and mechanical properties were evaluated. Testing was performed by 1000 cycles at 5–30% (165–989 N) and 5–70% (165–2307 N) of the maximum load of the filler-free bond in the static test. The results of the research show the importance of cyclic loading on the service life and mechanical properties of adhesive bonds. Quasi-static tests demonstrated significant differences between measured intervals of cyclic loading. All adhesive bonds resisted 1000 cycles of the quasi-static test with an interval loading 5–30%. The number of completed quasi-static tests with the interval loading 5–70% was significantly lower. The filler positively influenced the service life of adhesive bonds at a higher amount of quasi-static tests, i.e., the safety of adhesive bonds increased. The filler had a positive effect on adhesive bonds ABF2, where the strength significantly increased up to 20.26% at the loading of 5–30% against adhesive bonds ABF0. A viscoelasticity characteristic (creep) of the adhesive layer occurred at higher values of loading, i.e., between loading 5–70%. The viscoelasticity behavior did not occur at lower values of loading, i.e., between loading 5–30%.

ABSTRACT6061 Al-matrix composite with TiNi shape memory fiber as reinforcement has been fabricated by vacuum hot pressing to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties. The yield stress of this composite increases with increasing amount of prestrain, and it also depends on the volume fraction of fiber and heat treatment. The smartness of the composite is given due to the shape memory effect of the TiNi fiber which generates compressive residual stresses in the matrix material when heated after being prestrained. Microstructual observations have revealed that interfacial reactions occur between the matrix and fiber, creating two intermetallic layers. The flow strength of the composite at elevated temperatures is significantly higher than that of the matrix alloy without TiNi fiber.

The utilization of recycled aggregates made from construction wastes and recycled rubber made from waste tires is an effective method to realize the sustainable development. Thus, this study aims to determine the feasibility of using recycled aggregate concrete containing rubber, named rubberized recycled aggregate concrete (RRAC) as a new type of green-building material. The experimental carbon emissions test verified RRAC as a low-carbon material. In addition, the residual mechanical properties of RRAC were investigated under elevated temperatures. After exposure at 200, 400, and 600 C for 60 min, the stress−strain curve, compressive strength, energy absorption capacity, and spalling resistance of RRAC with recycled aggregate replacement ratios of 50 and 100%, rubber contents of 0, 5, 10, and 15% were explored with microstructural analysis. Moreover, empirical models were proposed to describe the effects of heated temperatures and rubber contents on the stress–strain relationship of RRAC. The results indicated that the rubber particles could reduce the spalling of specimens based on the vapor pressure theory. Therefore, this study provided scientific guidance for the design of structures made with RRAC for resisting high temperatures.

Abstract This paper presents and discusses the mechanical properties of crosslinked poly (ethyl acrylates) containing various amounts of microscopic glass beads. The adhesion between the glass beads and the elastomer matrix was varied by subjecting the beads to different surface treatments. That the adhesion is affected by surface treatment has been demonstrated in two ways: (1) Unfilled elastomer sheets have been cast in contact with glass surfaces which had been treated with the same reagents as the beads. The force required to peel the elastomer from the glass was then measured and found to depend strongly upon the surface treatment. (2) Scanning electron micrographs of the ruptured surfaces of used tensile test pieces cut from filled elastomer sheets confirm that surface treatment has a profound effect upon the adhesion between bead and matrix. Results are presented for the hardness and tensile stress-strain properties of elastomers containing various amounts of beads. In all cases, the stiffening effect of the beads increases as the adhesion between beads and matrix is improved. Beads which had been treated in such a way as to minimize the adhesion to the matrix were found to cause an apparent softening of the material as revealed by the tensile stress-strain curve. It has been shown that this effect can be satisfactorily explained if it is assumed that in this case the beads merely serve to increase the void content of the material.

The deterioration of the mechanical properties of yield strength and modulus of elasticity is considered as the primary element affecting the performance of steel structures under fire. In this study, hot-rolled S220 and S420 reinforcement steel rebars were subjected to high temperatures to investigate the fire performance of these materials. It is aimed to determine the remaining mechanical properties of steel rebars after elevated temperatures. Steels were subjected to 20, 100, 200, 300, 500, 800, and950∘C temperatures for 3 hours and tensile tests were carried out. Effect of temperature on mechanical behavior of S220 and S420 were determined. All mechanical properties were reduced due to the temperature increase of the steel rebars. It is seen that mechanical properties of S420 steel was influenced more than S220 steel at elevated temperatures.

The fabrication of microelectronic and micromechanical devices leads to the use of only very small amounts of matter, which can behave quite differently than the corresponding bulk. Clearly, the materials will age and it is important to gather information on the (changing) material characteristics. In particular, Young’s modulus, yield stress, and hardness are of great interest. Moreover, a complete stress-strain curve is desirable for a detailed material characterization and simulation of a component, e.g., by Finite Elements (FE). However, since the amount of matter is so small and it is the intention to describe its behavior as realistic as possible, miniature tests are used for measuring the mechanical properties. In this paper two miniature tests are presented for this purpose, a mini-uniaxial-tension-test and a nanoindenter experiment. In the tensile test the axial load is prescribed and the corresponding extension of the specimen length is recorded, both of which determines the stress-strain- curve directly. The stress-strain curves are analyzed by assuming a non-linear relationship between stress and strain of the Ramberg-Osgood type and by fitting the corresponding parameters to the experimental data (obtained for various microelectronic solders) by means of a non-linear optimization routine. For a detailed analysis of very local mechanical properties nanoindentation is used, resulting primarily in load vs. indentation-depth data. According to the procedure of Oliver and Pharr this data can be used to obtain hardness and Young’s modulus but not a complete stress-strain curve, at least not directly. In order to obtain such a stress-strain-curve, the nanoindentation experiment is combined with FE and the coefficients involved in the corresponding constitutive equations for stress and strain are obtained by means of the inverse method. The stress-strain curves from nanoindentation and tensile tests are compared for two mate-rials (aluminum and steel). Differences are explained in terms of the locality of the measurement. Finally, material properties at elevated temperature are of particular interest in order to characterize the materials even more completely. We describe the setup for hot stage nanoindentation tests in context with first results for selected materials.
