Recently, ceramics was used extensively as structural materials and ceramics components became larger and more complex. Fracture sometimes occurs during firing because of large and complex shape, and this fracture interrupts manufacturing process. The simulation of sintering has been studied to prevent this fracture. However, it was difficult to simulate fracture process because there was little data on strength of green compact. It is necessary to measure strength during sintering in order to perform a useful simulation. In this study, we measured strength of two kind of alumina green compact during sintering. Three point bending test at elevated temperature was performed and strength was estimated at each temperature. A model for strength at relative low temperature was also proposed using the temperature dependence of specific surface area. Furthermore, fracture toughness test was performed and the relationship between strength and fracture toughness was obtained. Strength at relative low temperature increased with temperature. Fracture toughness was proportional to strength at the temperature range where materials demonstrated brittle fracture manner. Strength of each alumina was analyzed using this model.

In view of the accidents such as rock mass breakage, roof fall and coal slide in coal mines, polyurethane/mesoscopic fly ash (PU/MFA) reinforcement materials were produced from polymethylene polyphenylene isocyanate (PAPI), the polyether polyol, flame retardant, and MFA using stannous octanate as a catalyst. 3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) was grafted on MFA surface, aiming to improve the mechanical properties of PU/MFA composites. The analyses of infrared spectroscopy and compression resistance reveal that the GPTMS can be successfully attached to the surface of MFA, and the optimum modification dosage of GPTMS to MFA is 2.5 wt % (weight percent). On this basis, the effect of GPTMS on the mechanical properties of PU/MFA reinforcement materials during the curing process was systematically investigated through a compression test, a fracture toughness test, a three-point bending test, a bond property test, and a dynamic mechanics analysis. The results show that the compression property, fracture toughness, maximum flexural strength, and bond strength of PU/MFA composites increase by 21.6%, 10.1%, 8.8%, and 19.3%, respectively, compared with the values before the modification. Furthermore, the analyses of scanning electron microscope and dynamic mechanics suggest that the coupling agent GPTMS can successfully improve the mechanical properties of PU/MFA composites because it eliminates the stress concentration and exerts a positive effect on the crosslink density and hardness of PU/MFA composites.

The microstructure and the mechanical property of liquid phase sintered (LPS) SiC materials with oxide secondary phases have been investigated. The strength variation of LPS-SiC materials exposed at the elevated temperatures has been also examined. LPS-SiC materials were sintered at the different temperatures using two types of Al2O3/Y2O3 compositional ratio. The characterization of LPS-SiC materials was investigated by means of SEM with EDS, three point bending test and indentation test. The LPS-SiC material with a density of about 3.2 Mg/m3 represented a flexural strength of about 800 MPa and a fracture toughness of about 9.0 MPa⋅√m.

Dynamic Loading Conditions

A hybrid finite-discrete element method (FDEM) is proposed to model rock fracture initiation and propagation during a three-point bending test under quasistatic and dynamic loading conditions. Three fracture models have been implemented in the FDEM to model the transition from continuum to discontinuum through fracture and fragmentation. The loading rate effect on rock behaviour has been taken into account by the implementation of the relationship between the static and dynamic rock strengths derived from dynamic rock fracture experiments. The Brazilian tensile strength test has been modelled to calibrate the FDEM. The FDEM can well model the stress and fracture propagation and well show the stress distribution along the vertical diameter of the disc during the Brazilian tensile strength test. Then, FDEM is implemented to study the rock fracture process during three-point bending tests under quasistatic and dynamic loading conditions. The FDEM has well modelled the stress and fracture propagation and can obtain reasonable fracture toughness. After that, the effects of the loading rate on the rock strength and rock fracture toughness are discussed, and the mesh size and mesh orientation on the fracture patterns are also discussed. It is concluded that the FDEM can well model the rock fracture process by the implementation of the three fracture models. The FDEM can capture the loading rate effect on rock strength and rock fracture toughness. The FDEM is a valuable tool for studying the rock behaviour on the dynamic loading although the proposed method is sensitive to the mesh size and mesh orientation.

In this work, an attempt has been made to study the experimental of behavior for carbon/epoxy woven laminates under a three-point bending test by varying the support span and the geometrical dimensions of the specimens. Two principles stacking sequences are studied ([45 / 0]2s & [90 / 0]6 ) to observe the effect of the layer orientation in the failure modes. This study has allowed us to confirm the relationship between the bending behavior of the specimens and the span-to-thickness ratio (l/h). Finally, a digital microscope was selected in order to characterize the succession of the failure and the failure modes, mainly the delamination damage.

Rock Beam

To investigate the effects of offset notch on the fracture properties of rock beam under bending load, granite beam specimens with “one single offset notch” and “central and offset double notches” are made. A series of three-point bending beam tests on the specimens are carried out by controlling the displacement rate of central notch. The whole load-displacement (P-CMOD) curves are obtained. Experimental results show that the larger the distance between the offset notch and beam central is, the larger are the peak load and nominal strength of the specimen. The peak load and nominal strength for the “central and offset double notches” specimens are both larger than those for the “single central notch” specimen. A fracture model considering the effect of offset notch is developed, and the relationship between the offset notch parameter, tensile strength, and fracture toughness is established.

The Difference

In this paper, line- and ring-notched small punch test (SPT) specimens were studied; a three-dimensional (3D) model of a ring-notched SPT specimen was established using the contour integral method, and the validity of the model was verified using ring-notched specimens. The stress and strain fields were analyzed using numerical simulations of a ring-notched SPT specimen, and the change in the stress gradient during deformation was considered. To verify the finite element model, the results of the numerical simulations were compared with those of three-point bending tests and a Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman (GTN) model. Compared with the line-notched specimen, the ring-notched specimen was more suitable for notch propagation analysis and fracture toughness evaluation. The results of the numerical simulations were in good agreement with those of the experiments, which showed that the numerical model used in this study was correct. For a notch that initiated when the load reached its maximum value, the value of the J integral was 335 × 10−6 kJ/mm2, and at time 0.85Pmax, the value of the J integral was 201 × 10−6 kJ/mm2, and the difference from the result of the three-point bending test was 14.4%. For a notch that initiated during the stretching deformation stage, the relevant fracture toughness was 225 × 10−6 kJ/mm2, and the difference from the result of the three-point bending test was 3%.

The Ni-Mo-Cr alloy (HAYNES® 242™) is an age-hardenable alloy that can be significantly strengthened by a simple aging heat treatment at 650°C (1200°F). Long-term thermal exposures at moderate temperatures increase the strength and decrease the ductility and Charpy V-notch impact toughness. Tensile ductility and Charpy impact toughness have traditionally been used to study the effect of long-term thermal exposure on mechanical properties. However, there has been little or no work reported on the effect of long-term thermal exposures on the fracture toughness of nickel-base alloys. The room temperature fracture toughness (KJc) properties have been evaluated for Ni-Mo-Cr plate material in the annealed, annealed and aged, and annealed plus long-term thermal exposed condition. The microstructural and fracture mode characteristics of this alloy were examined as well. The tensile ductility, impact toughness and fracture conditions of the toughness properties were decreased by a long-term thermal exposure at 650°C (1200°F). The fracture toughness test data revealed the crack extension during the KJc tests to be stable throughout the test. The mechanical property data suggest a strong relationship between fracture toughness and tensile ductility. The microstructures and fracture surface morphologies for three metallurgical conditions of the Ni-Mo-Cr alloy are presented.
