This paper presents an experimental characterization of three different types of closed-cell aluminium alloy foams (AlMg1Si0.6, AlSi12Mg0.6 and AlMg0.6Si0.3) under static compressive loading. This study was carried out on half-cylindrical specimens with skin. The influence of foam density on compressive behaviour was investigated for densities ranging from 430 kg/m3 to 935 kg/m3. The compression tests were performed at room temperature (23°C) with a constant crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Strain distribution, yield stress and compressive modulus values were recorded using Digital Image Correlation. Experimental results show that the mechanical properties (Youngs Modulus, yield stress and plateau stress) increase with density.

Characterization Of Materials

A survey is presented herein of some recent research contributions to the methodology of inverse structural analysis based on statical tests for diagnosis of possibly damaged structures and for mechanical characterization of materials in diverse industrial environments. The following issues are briefly considered: identifications of parameters in material models and of residual stresses on the basis of indentation experiments; mechanical characterization of free-foils and laminates by cruciform and compression tests and digital image correlation measurements; diagnosis, both superficially and in depth, of concrete dams, possibly affected by alkali-silica-reaction or otherwise damaged.

Tension And Compression

Abstract Comprehensive characterization mechanical properties of aerogels and their composites are important for engineering design. In particular, some aerogel composites were reported to have varied tension and compression moduli. But conducting tension tests is difficult for the reason that low strength and brittleness will lead to unexpected failure in the non-test area. A method is presented for measuring both the tension and compression moduli of a ceramic-fiber reinforced SiO2 aerogel composite by bending via digital image correlation. First, the relationship between bending behavior and the tension/compression moduli was introduced for bimodular materials. Then a bending test was conducted to predict tension and the compression moduli of the ceramicfiber- reinforced SiO2 aerogel composite via digital image correlation. In addition, uniaxial tension and compression tests of the aerogel composites were carried out, respectively for measuring tension and compression moduli. The tension and compression moduli measured were numerically similar to results obtained from uniaxial tests with a difference of less than 14 %.
