In order to make the new composite wall structure the group developed to adapt different regional natural conditions, and along with the demand of gradually in-depth study the damage characteristics of the new composite wall, need to research the mechanical properties of the wall filling materials. In this paper, the ZG-CSS Electronic Universal Testing Machine was used on the uniaxial compressive test of the three blocks(the mud billet block, the cotton stalk block, the recycled EPS lightweight concrete block), to analyze the failure characteristics of the blocks and the other mechanical properties, such as Poisson’s ratio, elastic modulus, then the full compressive stress-strain curves are given, and at last fitting the mathematical expression of the uniaxial compressive stress - strain curves. And this paper also gives the yield criterion based on the unified strength theory of the three ecological filling blocks.

Abstract Sn-58Bi alloy is a strain-rate-sensitive material. To study the mechanical properties of Sn-58Bi alloy, an MTS universal testing machine and split-Hopkinson pressure bar were used to conduct quasi-static and dynamic testing on Sn-58Bi alloy, obtaining the stress-strain curve of Sn-58Bi alloy at the strain rate of 0.001–6316 s−1. By comparing the tensile and compressive stress–strain curves of Sn-58Bi alloy under quasi-static conditions, it is found that Sn-58Bi alloy is brittle, with its tensile yield strength lower than its compressive yield strength. By comparing the compressive stress–strain curves of Sn-58Bi alloy at different strain rates, it is found that the yield strength of Sn-58Bi alloy increases with increasing strain rate, and a strain-hardening phenomenon is manifested at high strain rate. By revising the Johnson–Cook constitutive model, the constitutive model of Sn-58Bi alloy at different strain rates was established, with the calculated results of the model in good agreement with the experimental results.

In order to investigate the static and dynamic mechanical properties of TC18 titanium alloy, the quasi-static stress–strain curve of TC18 titanium alloy under room temperature was obtained by DNS 100 electronic universal testing machine (Changchun Institute of Mechanical Science Co., Ltd., Changchun, China). Meanwhile, the flow stress–strain curves under different temperatures and strain rates are analyzed by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device with synchronous assembly system. On the basis of the two experimental data, the JC constitutive model under the combined action of high temperature and impact load is established using the linear least squares method. The results show the following: the yield strength and flow stress of TC18 titanium alloy increase slowly with the increase of the strain rate, and the strain value corresponding to the yield strength is reduced. With the increase of strain, the flow stress increases at first and then decreases at different temperatures. The strain value corresponding to the transition point rises with the temperature increase, and the corresponding stress value remains basically unchanged. With the increase of experimental temperature, the flow stress shows a downward trend, and the JC constitutive model can predict the plastic flow stress well.

Based on unified strength theory, the equation for estimating the maximum reduction in thickness in a single sheet forming pass is obtained. Included the contribution of both intermediate principal shear stress and varying tension-compression-ratio to material mechanical property, the equation developed by this paper can reasonably apply to a wide range of material. It can be proved that the equation for estimating the maximum reduction based on unified strength theory becomes that based on unified yield criterion, when material has equal strength in tension and compression, i.e., the tension-compression-ratio of material is equal to units; and, that the values of the maximum reduction obtained previously based on Mises, or Tresca criterion, are all just special cases of those based on unified yield criterion. In addition, the maximum reduction in thickness for sheet drawing and extrusion is equal to one another.

This research aim to assess the effect of absorption on the mechanical properties of sandstone rocks using a servo-controlled testing machine, stress-strain curves were obtained from which the uni-axial compressive strength, Young’s modulus and the brittleness index were measured for specimens prepared from a single block of Sandstone from the Hassi Messaoud site investigation, Algeria. To see how the strength properties were affected by changes in absorption content such as are likely to occur on site, the specimens were divided into three groups which were prepared for testing under different conditions of absorption equilibrium.

Eco-composite wall, as the main bearing member of the eco-composite wall structure, has unique structural characteristic compared with traditional wall. The constructional features, mechanical properties and collaborative performance of the wall are analyzed. Based on this, the three-stage mechanical model of eco-composite wall is put forward. The study results indicate that the eco-composite wall has unique structural characteristic, which makes the structure in possession of several seismic defending lines and have good seismic performance. The three-stage mechanical model is proved reasonable and applicable in structural design.

Based on unified strength theory, the unified stresses solution for sheet forming is presented according to mechanical analysis developed, and accurate enough for much material due to the contributions of both intermediate principal shear stress and varying tension-compression-ratio included. Notably, by denoting a notation of h, the expressions presented to estimate stresses of billet for sheet forming can be apply to both drawing and extrusion. In addition, when material has identical strength in tension and compression, i.e., the tension-compression-ratio of the material is equal to unit, the stresses solution based on unified strength theory become that based on unified yield criterion. Accordingly, it can be proved that the stresses solution based on Mises criterion is just a special case of that based on unified yield criterion.

Polymer encapsulants exhibit evolving properties that change significantly with environmental exposures such as moisture uptake, isothermal aging and thermal cycling. In this study, the effects of moisture adsorption on the stress-strain behavior of a polymer encapsulant were evaluated experimentally. The uniaxial test specimens were exposed in an adjustable thermal and humidity chamber to combined hygrothermal exposures at 85 °C/85% RH for various durations. After moisture preconditioning, a microscale tension-torsion testing machine was used to evaluate the complete stress-strain behavior of the material at several temperatures. It was found that moisture exposure caused plasticization and strongly reduced the mechanical properties of the encapsulant including the initial elastic modulus and ultimate tensile stress. Reversibility tests were also conducted to evaluate whether the degradations in the mechanical properties were recoverable. Upon fully redrying, the polymer was found to recover most but not all of its original mechanical properties. As revealed by FTIR, some of the adsorbed water had been hydrolyzed in the organic structure of the epoxy-based adhesive, causing permanent changes to the mechanical behavior.
