The objectives of the study is to investigate the formation of intermetallic compound and the mechanical properties of the underwater welding. AISI 4012 steel was selected as the material and two types of electrode E6013 and E7018. The variations of electric current used in this study were 80,100, and 120 amperes. The underwater welding was conducted in plain water pool and 3 meters depth by using SMAW. Tensile test and SEM-EDS were carried out to investigate the tensile strength and appearence the intermetallic layer.The results of this study indicated that the highest value of tensile stresswas found on the use E7018 electrodes and 80 amperes electric current. While the lowest value was found in the use E6013 electrodes with 120 amperes. Intermetallic layer was detected base on the SEM-EDS investigation.

In the present study, a friction welding process was adopted to join dissimilar alloys of Ti-Al-4V to Nitinol. The effect of friction welding on the evolution of welded macro and microstructures and their hardnesses and tensile properties were studied and discussed in detail. The macrostructure of Ti-6Al-4V and Nitinol dissimilar joints revealed flash formation on the Ti-6Al-4V side due to a reduction in flow stress at high temperatures during friction welding. The optical microstructures revealed fine grains near the Ti-6Al-4V interface due to dynamic recrystallization and strain hardening effects. In contrast, the area nearer to the nitinol interface did not show any grain refinement. This study reveals that the formation of an intermetallic compound (Ti2Ni) at the weld interface resulted in poor ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation values. All tensile specimens failed at the weld interface due to the formation of intermetallic compounds.

Laminated veneer lumber is taken as an object of study, and use LVL specimens of different sizes for compression test and tensile test. The goal of the experiment is to investigate the size effect on compressive strength and tensile strength as well as the influence of the secondary glued laminated face, which appears in the secondary molding processes. The results show that both compressive strength and tensile strength have the size effect apparently and the existence of the secondary glued laminated face lower the compressive strength of LVL specimens. Afterwards, the relationship between compressive strength and volume along with tensile strength and area are obtained by the test results.

Composite is a material consisting of two or more components which have characteristics mild and relatively strong. This study used bagasse fiber which is widely produced in sugar industry. Treatment of bagasse fiber by soaked in alkaline solution (NaOH) for 2 hours to remove the cork / wax attached to the fiber. Manufacture of composite by hand lay up. The matrix used in this study is epoxy. The fraction volume of composite between bagasse fiber and epoxy are 4%: 96%, 8%: 92% and 12%: 88%. The mechanical properties tested is tensile strength. The tensile test refers to ASTM D638 type 4. The highest tensile test composite resulted at the fraction volume composite of bagasse fiber with epoxy 12%: 88% i.e. 28.43 MPa.

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) have much interest in engineering applications. However, the mechanical properties of MREs are still under ongoing researches. This paper presents the results from tensile test, hardness and rebound test that were carried out in order to understand the mechanical properties of MRE with the influence of carbon black content. The addition of carbon black was varied with the amount of 20 pphr, 40 pphr and 60 pphr of carbon black. The development of the MRE composites was manufactured by following the conventional rubber compounding process. The optimum cure of each MRE composite was determined by using a Rheometer 100. The mechanical properties through tensile test were obtained by using an Instron Tensile Machine, meanwhile hardness and resilience were carried out by using Wallace Dead Load Hardness and Dunlop Tripsometer, respectively. The results of tensile strength were not consistent with the addition of carbon black. In meantime, hardness value increases as the carbon black increases. The decreasing pattern of MRE resilience could be observed when the carbon black content increases.

In this paper, the mechanical properties of Polyethylene terephthalate-glycol (PETG) tensile test specimens have been investigated. The test pieces were prepared using fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing technology. Three print settings were examined which are: raster direction angles, print orientations, and infill percentage and patterns in order to evaluate the anisotropy of objects when employing FDM print method. The variations in stress-strain curves, tensile strength values and elongation at break among the tested samples were studied and compared. Illustration for the broken specimens after the tensile test was accomplished to know how the test pieces printed with various parameters were fractured. A comparison with some previous results regarding the elongation at break has been carried out.

This study reported about mechanical properties and fracture surface of ramie fiber reinforced tapioca starch based biocomposites. The amount of fibers in matrix was kept constant at 10% from dry weight starch basis. Fabrication of biocomposites was solution casting. The effect of vibration duration from ultrasonic bath was 0, 15, 30, and 45 min. This treatment was applied to biocomposites while gelatinized. Tensile test was carried out to determine the mechanical properties of biocomposites. Fracture surface of biocomposites after tensile test was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result shows that, tensile strength increased when vibration time was added. The maximum tensile strength was obtained at 45 min vibration time with 2,84 MPa. This phenomenon was supported by SEM observation which indicate compact structure. Keywords: Tapioca starch, ramie fiber, biocomposites, mechanical properties, SEM

The mechanical properties, among all the properties of plastic materials, are often the most important properties because virtually all service conditions and the majority of end-use applications involve some degree of mechanical loading [1]. In the present work three different commercial polyethylene materials are tensile tested at four or five different tensile rates and two or three temperatures. Tensile test results against tensile rate include stress at 0.5 % elongation, tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, elongation at yield and % elongation are determined. It is concluded that the structure, chain lengths and branching rates of polymer matrix significantly effected tensile test curve characteristic.

The effect of high electric current pulse on the microstructure and macroscopic mechanical behavior of X70 pipeline steel was studied. With the increasing of current density, the grains become refined and the tensile strength has an evident improvement without a decrease in elongation rate. The theoretical analysis shows that two kinds of refinement mechanisms, recrystallization and phase transformation, compete when the exerted current densities differ. Therefore, the ECP treatment should provide a promising method to refine materials and to improve their physical properties by using different current densities.

Nanocellulose (NCC) is incorporated into nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) latex with the composition 0 to 5 phr using dipping method. Mechanical properties of NBR/NCC composites using tensile test was used to characterize their mechanical performance and the fracture surfaces post tensile test were studied. The tensile strength of NBR/NCC composites increase significantly with the addition of nanocellulose. This could be anticipated due to the presence of Van der Waals interaction between hydrophilic natures of nanocellulose with hydrophobic of NBR consequently limits the tearing propagation. The result was supported with the fracture surfaces morphology viewed under Fourier Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM).

The Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing has been investigated. It was found that the Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy processed by ECAP obtained ultrafine grains and exhibits excellent mechanical properties. After ECAP, the average grain size of Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy refined to about 400 nm. The highest strengths with yield strength of 381.45MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 438.33MPa were obtained after 2 passes at 623K. It was found that cracks were preferentially initiated and propagated in the interior of X-phase during the tensile test. As a result, the elongation of alloy is decreased with pass number increasing.
