In this paper, the technology, equipment and method used to m easure the mechanical properties of micro-scale new-style intelligent shape memory alloy material were studied. First, two groups of small-scale shape memory alloy samples were made and the suitable micro load device was designed according to samples’ size and force range. Then the strain of the samples were observed with the video microscopy and calculated. Comparing with the corresponding force, the stress-strain curves of the two groups of samples were obtained respectively. After fitting these two curves, the stress-strain curve of the sample material was obtained. Finally, the basic mechanical properties of this shape memory alloy materials were discussed.

Two models for predicting the stress-strain curve of porous NiTi under compressive loading are presented in this paper. Porous NiTi shape memory alloy is considered as a composite composed of solid NiTi as matrix and pores as inclusions. Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion method and Mori-Tanaka’s mean-field theory are employed in both models. Two types of pore connectivity are investigated. One is closed cells (model 1); the other is where the pores are interconnected to each other forming an open-cell microstructure (model 2). We also consider two different shapes of pores, spherical and ellipsoidal. The stress-strain curves of porous shape memory alloy with spherical pores and ellipsoidal pores are compared. It is found that the ellipsoidal shape assumption is more reasonable than the assumption of spherical pores. Comparison of the stress-strain curves of the two models shows that use of open-cell microstructure (model-2) makes the predictions more agreeable to the experimental results of porous NiTi whose microstructure exhibits open-cell microstructure.

Nanoporous Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are widely used in aerospace, military industry, medical and health and other fields. More and more attention has been paid to its mechanical properties. In particular, when the size of the pores is reduced to the nanometer level, the effect of the surface effect of the nanoporous material on the mechanical properties of the SMA will increase sharply, and the residual strain of the SMA material will change with the nanoporosity. In this work, the expression of Young’s modulus of nanopore SMA considering surface effects is first derived, which is a function of nanoporosity and nanopore size. Based on the obtained Young’s modulus, a constitutive model of nanoporous SMA considering residual strain is established. Then, the stress–strain curve of dense SMA based on the new constitutive model is drawn by numerical method. The results are in good agreement with the simulation results in the published literature. Finally, the stress-strain curves of SMA with different nanoporosities are drawn, and it is concluded that the Young’s modulus and strength limit decrease with the increase of nanoporosity.

ABSTRACT Stratospheric airships are promising aircraft, usually designed as a non-rigid airship. As an essential part of the non-rigid airship, the envelope plays a significant role in maintaining its shape and bearing the external force load. Generally, the envelope material of a flexible airship consists of plain-weave fabric, composed of warp and weft fibre yarn. At present, biaxial tensile experiments are the primary method used to study the stress–strain characteristics of such flexible airship materials. In this work, biaxial tensile testing of UN-5100 material was carried out. The strain on the material under unusual stress and the stress ratio were obtained using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technology. Also, the stress–strain curve was corrected by polynomial fitting. The slope of the stress–strain curve at different points, the Membrane Structures Association of Japan (MSAJ) standard and the Radial Basis Function (RBF) model were compared to identify the stress–strain characteristics of the materials. Some conclusions on the mechanical properties of the flexible airship material can be drawn and will play a significant role in the design of such envelopes.

The concern of this paper is to develop simple workshop application models for predicting the mechanical properties and the evaluation of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of chopped strand fibre-mat reinforced thermoset composites. A hybrid of empirical and strength of materials approach was used at macro- and micro-mechanics levels to model the random fibres which were treated as simple bars within the mat preform and the resulting composite material. The model was validated experimentally by testing wet lay-up produced samples with varying fibre volume fractions and they were found to agree well. The toughness modulus of the composite was also modeled using the secant modulus obtained from the sample’s stress – strain curves of uniform material composites produced at different temperature histories. The toughness modulus determined using the new model was compared with that obtained using the area under the same stress – strain curve computed by Simpson’s rule and the results agreed very well.

According to the mechanical properties of paste filling body under special environment such as high temperature high humidity high stress and high airtight) in gob, mechanical properties of gangue-paste filling body was studied with the method of field core and laboratory test. The complete stress-strain curve of filling body under the condition of uniaxial and triaxial and the ultimate compressive strength under different confining pressure station were obtained through uniaxial and triaxial compression test. Six stages of uniaxial compression complete stress-strain curve (compression stage, elastic deformation stage, non-stable developing stages, plastic hardening stage, stress softening stage and residual deformation stage) were improved and developed. The deformation characteristics of filling body under triaxial compression were different from that under uniaxial compression. Namely the deformation of filling body under triaxial compression only appeared two deformation stages: linear deformation stage and plastic hardening stage, but had no softening stage basically under different confining pressures, which was benefit for controlling the ground subsidence and preventing the ground buildings.

<p>The Jharia region of lower Gondwana in India is one of the largest Underground Coalmine Fires (UCF) affected coalfield in the world. The UCF induced small scale as well as large-scale surface fracturing often creates the life-threatening conditions to coal miners and local surroundings. So, there is a need to understand the thermomechanical behaviour of coal measures rocks to predict the land disturbances in thermo-environmental conditions. It will provide an insight into the UCF induced subsidence mechanism and its preventive measures. The Jharia coal field predominantly consists of sandstone (75-80% by volume) and rest is composed of coal, shale and carbonaceous shale. The present study focuses on thermo-mechanical behaviour of Barakar sandstone (BS) under elevated temperatures. The cores of BS sample were prepared according to the ISRM standards. Further, samples were grouped and thermally treated in temperature range of 25°C, 100°C, 150°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, 600 °C, 700°C and 800°C at a heating rate of 5°C/min for 24 hours in furnace.  Then, these thermally treated BS samples were subjected to laboratory test for stress-strain characteristics. In the process of deformational characteristics evaluation, effect of mineralogical changes and mode of fracture pattern were also studied at the mentioned elevated temperature. Based on the obtained results, the deformational behaviour of thermally treated BS specimens can be grouped into three zones, viz., zone 1 (25-300°C), zone 2 (300-500°C) and zone 3 (500-800°C). In zone 1, the characteristics of the stress-strain curve is similar to those under air dried sandstone specimen. However, small increment in stiffness were observed upto 300°C. The stress-strain curves in this zone shows dominantly brittle fracturing. The increment in stiffness may be related to evaporation of pore water that increases the cohesion between the mineral grains resulting higher stiffness value. In zone 2, the deformation pattern again shows brittle fracturing with continuous decrement in stiffness. The reduction in stiffness may be related to thermally induced porosity and increased microcrack density. In zone 3, the stress strain curve is observed to be concave upward. It indicates the pseudo-ductile behaviour of the thermally treated BS specimens. The observed results suggest a typical behaviour of deformation pattern under UCF induced rock fracturing which may be useful in predicting the land subsidence in UCF affected areas. Present research outcome may be used to design the support measures to reduce the associated hazards.</p>

As a new green building material, straw concrete are introduced about its mechanical properties and characteristics. Mechanical properties test such as prism compressive strength, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratios use standard prismatic blocks. Under different rate of corn straw, cement, sand and fly ash, test gets the full stress-strain curve. Results show that with increase of volume of corn straw, the prism compressive strength reduces significantly. Comparing with natural concrete, elastic modulus of straw concrete can reduces greatly. Poisson’s ratio reduces with increase of volume of corn straw. Fly ash could improve property of the material and replace cement, but excessive replacement will reduce the strength of material.

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.
