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.

Set Up

A new generation of multifunctional filters is made of carbon bonded alumina and is investigated within the collaborative research center 920 (CRC920). These filters are used during a casting process with the aim of reducing non-metallic inclusions in the cast product. The high thermal and mechanical loading of the filter requires a fracture mechanical characterization of the investigated ceramic material. In order to determine the fracture toughness of the ceramic material, a chevron-notched beam method (CNB) is applied. A 4-point-bending test set-up was constructed and brought into service, at which the load-displacement curve of small chevron-notched specimens (5 x 6 x 25 mm3) can be measured. The set-up offers the possibility of testing specimens at temperatures up to 1000oC. Preceding numerically work using the finite element method was performed to identify a suitable notch geometry. For this purpose a cohesive zone model was used. A parameter study is presented, which shows the influence of the notch parameter on the load-displacement curve.

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%.

Experimental Campaign

Many researches have been conducted in past decades for promoting the application of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC), either conventional or self-compacting. However, the differences of post-crack behaviour and the properties of these two types of concrete remains unclear. The objective of this paper is to analyse such differences in terms of flexural behaviour, fibre orientation and contribution as well as the fibre content. For that, an extensive experimental campaign was carried out. In total 3 mixes of self-compacting and 3 mixes with traditional concrete were produced with the nominal fibre contents of 30kg/m3, 45kg/m3 and 60kg/m3. In each series, specimens were produces and characterized by three point bending test (code EN 14651) and inductive test. The results illustrate how fibre orientation and distribution justify the differences in the mechanical behaviour of the materials and the scatter of the bending test results.

The Cost

Jute fabric is well-known reinforcing material in composite science, however, there is a necessity to treat these fabrics to reduce moisture uptake and improve properties. Nevertheless, every modification increases the cost and reduces the possible applications. Presented research deals with an investigation of possibility to use untreated jute in various fabric weight as a reinforcing material in sandwich structures facings. Untreated jute reinforcements and two types of cork cores were saturated in one step during vacuum infusion creating a lightweight sandwich composite. All samples were mechanically tested in three-point bending test. Experimental results showed the most appropriate material combination and produced sandwich structure are proposed for design applications.

Welding Materials

The performance and flaws of welded joints are important features that characteristics of the welding material influence. There is significant research activity on the performance and characteristics of welding joint materials. However, the properties of dissimilar welding materials and the cracking problem have not been thoroughly investigated. This investigation focuses on the evaluation and analysis of fracture mechanics, including fracture toughness, microstructural analysis, and crack initiation of T2 copper-45 steel dissimilar welding materials. Standard tensile and three-point bending experiments were performed to calculate the ultimate strength, yield strength, and elastic modulus for fracture toughness. The macro/micro-fracture morphology for tensile fracture and three-point bending fracture were analysed. Based on these investigations, it was concluded that the fracture types were quasi-cleavage and an intergranular brittle fracture mixed model. The deflection of the crack path was discussed and it was determined that the crack was extended along the weld area and tilted towards the T2 copper. Finally, the crack propagation and deflecting direction after the three-point bending test could provide the basis for improvement in the performance of welded joints based on experimental testing parameters and ABAQUS finite element analysis.
