Carbon fiber reinforcement used in concrete has become a remarkable alternative to steel fibers. Admixing short fibers to fresh concrete and processing the material with a 3D printer leads to an orientation of fibers and a material with high uniaxial strength properties, which offers an economic use of fibers. To investigate its mechanical behavior, the material is subjected to flexural and tensional tests, combining several measuring techniques. Numerical analysis complements this research. Computed tomography is used with several post-processing algorithms for separating matrix and fibers. This helps to validate fiber alignment and serves as input data for numerical analysis with representative volume elements concatenating real fiber position and orientation with the three-dimensional stress tensor. Flexural and uniaxial tensional tests are performed combining multiple measuring techniques. Next to conventional displacement and strain measuring methods, sound emission analysis, in terms of quantitative event analysis and amplitude appraisal, and also high-resolution digital image correlation accompany the tests. Due to the electrical conductibility of carbon fibers, the material’s resistivity could be measured during testing. All sensors detect the material’s degradation behavior comparably, showing a strain-hardening effect, which results from multiple, yet locally restricted and distributed, microcracks arising in combination with plastic deformation.

In order to determine the fiber direction distribution statistical characteristic of short fiber reinforced concrete, this paper put forward the equal projection model. According to the isotropic assumption of large volume of short-fiber reinforced concrete, in the three-dimensional coordinate system, when the concrete loads along all coordinate axes are equal, it is believed that a representative short fiber projection components in all axes are equal. According to the deduction, the cosine of the angle of the representative fiber and the force direction is equal to the reciprocal value of the square root of 3. On this basis, as an application example, the formula for the prediction of fiber reinforced concrete elastic modulus was deduced. The formula shows that the elastic modulus of short fiber reinforced concrete is equal to the sum of 1/3 of the elastic modulus of long fiber concrete in fiber length direction and 2/3 of the elastic modulus of long fiber concrete in the vertical direction.

In the concept of the process signature, the relationship between a material load and the modification remaining in the workpiece is used to better understand and optimize manufacturing processes. The basic prerequisite for this is to be able to measure the loads occurring during the machining process in the form of mechanical deformations. Speckle photography is suitable for this in-process measurement task and is already used in a variety of ways for in-plane deformation measurements. The shortcoming of this fast and robust measurement technique based on image correlation techniques is that out-of-plane deformations in the direction of the measurement system cannot be detected and increases the measurement error of in-plane deformations. In this paper, we investigate a method that infers local out-of-plane motions of the workpiece surface from the decorrelation of speckle patterns and is thus able to reconstruct three-dimensional deformation fields. The implementation of the evaluation method enables a fast reconstruction of 3D deformation fields, so that the in-process capability remains given. First measurements in a deep rolling process show that dynamic deformations underneath the die can be captured and demonstrate the suitability of the speckle method for manufacturing process analysis.

The aim of this paper is to present an application of high-order numerical analysis methods to a simulation system that models the movement of a cylindrical-shaped object (mine, projectile, etc.) in a marine environment and in general in fluids with important applications in Naval operations. More specifically, an alternative methodology is proposed for the dynamics of the Navy’s three-dimensional mine impact burial prediction model, Impact35/vortex, based on the Dormand–Prince Runge–Kutta fifth-order and the singly diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta fifth-order methods. The main aim is to improve the time efficiency of the system, while keeping the deviation levels of the final results, derived from the standard and the proposed methodology, low.

Ventilation Performance

For students, who spend most of their time in school classrooms, it is important to maintain indoor air quality (IAQ) to ensure a comfortable and healthy life. Recently, the ventilation performance for indoor air quality in elementary schools has emerged as an important social issue due to the increase in the number of days of continuous high concentrations of particulate matter. Three-dimensional numerical analysis has been introduced to evaluate the indoor airflow according to the installation location of return diffusers. Considering the possibility of the cross-infection of infectious diseases between students due to the direction of airflow in the classroom, the airflow angles of the average respiratory height range of elementary school students, between 1.0 and 1.5 m, are analyzed. Throughout the numerical analysis inside the classroom, it is found that the floor return system reduces the indoor horizontal airflow that causes cross-infection among students by 20% compared to the upper return systems. Air ventilation performance is also analyzed in detail using the results of numerical simulation, including streamlines, temperature and the age of air.

Ultra-fine-grained (UFG) Cu shows little total elongation in tensile tests because simple shear deformation is concentrated in narrow regions during the initial stage of plastic deformation. Here, we attempted to improve the total elongation of UFG Cu obtained by equal-channel angular pressing. By making shallow dents on the side surfaces of the plate-like specimens, this induced pure shear deformation and increased their total elongation. During the tensile tests, we observed the overall and local deformation of the dented and undented UFG Cu specimens. Using three-dimensional digital image correlation, we found that the dented specimens showed suppression of thickness reduction and delay in fracture by enhancement of pure shear deformation. However, the dented and undented specimens had the same ultimate tensile strength. These results provide us a new concept to increase total elongation of UFG materials.
