scholarly journals Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Sn-8Zn-3Bi Solder Alloy

Thermal and mechanical properties of Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder alloy on copper substrate were evaluated via measuring the melting temperature, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), the tensile and shear strength of the solder joint. The measured properties of the alloy were then compared to the properties of the traditional and widely used eutectic Sn-37Pb solder alloy. The results show that the melting (liquidus) temperature of Sn-8Zn-3Bi was 195 °C, the CTE of Sn-8Zn-3Bi was 22.2´10-6 K-1 in the temperature range of 30-130 °C. At the same testing condition, both tensile and shear strength of Sn-8Zn-3Bi joints were higher than those of Sn-37Pb. The stress-strain curve indicated that the Sn-8Zn-3Bi joints were brittle whilst the Sn-37Pb joints were ductile.

The effects of shear deformation at 1173 K on the mechanical properties and deformation mechanism of pure tungsten are investigated by molecular dynamics (MD). The results show that the shear deformation of pure tungsten is dominated by dislocation multiplication and slip band deformation. The shear angle has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of pure tungsten. The yield strength is 4.21 Gpa at a shear angle of 11[Formula: see text], and it increases significantly to 11.84 Gpa while the shear angle increasing to 27[Formula: see text]. In the plastic deformation stage, the stress–strain curve shows obvious oscillation due to the interaction of dislocations in the single-crystal tungsten and the effect of strain strengthening. In addition, the evolution of dislocation and twining in the compression system against shear angle indicates the variation of deformation behavior. When the shear angle is 11[Formula: see text], the lengths of dislocation 1/2[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] increase to a peak rapidly, which illustrates dislocation strengthening. However, when the shear angle is more than 11[Formula: see text], the decrease of dislocation length and the appearance of twins along [Formula: see text] direction demonstrate the twining accompanied with dislocation tangling, resulting in the additional increase of strength.

Soil engineering properties can be improved employing different methods. Among them is mixing soil with tire derived additives (TDA). TDAs generally increase some parameters of mixture such as damping ratio, permeability, ductility and also in some cases shear strength. Various properties of TDAs from mechanical properties to their geometry can affect the mixture behavior. In this paper using the YADE platform, simulations of triaxial tests on sand tire mixtures are presented. To take compressibility into consideration, each rubber crumb particle is made of several spheres connected elastically to each other. For sand particle generation the clump technique was employed. Shapes of both sand and rubber particles are inspired from real grains. As properties of sand and rubber are different, especially Young modulus, rubber sand interaction is considered as soft rigid contact. Therefor harmonic average and arithmetic average was used to compute contact Young modulus (and then stiffness). The model was validated by comparison of results of triaxial tests simulation on pure rubber sample with literature ones which both exhibited linear stress-strain curve. Then triaxial tests with different sand to rubber ratio were simulated to see whether harmonic average or arithmetic average gives the best match to literature. The results show shear strength reduces by decreasing of sand to rubber ratio. This is the same as what is reported in literature.

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 mechanical properties of a new Zr-based bulk metallic glass at low temperatures were investigated. The results indicate that the fracture strength increases significantly (4.9%) and the global plasticity increases somewhat when testing temperature is lowered to 123K. The stress-strain curve of the sample deformed exhibits more serrations and smaller stress drop due to formation of more shear bands at low temperature than at room temperature.

Theoretical relations among local and nonlocal damage variables in localized band as well as global damage variable according to the measured stress-strain curve of quasi-brittle material subjected to shear and tensile failures in uniaxial compression and in three-point bending were presented. The nolocal damage variable depends on the local counterpart and its second spatial gradient based on nonlocal theory. Analytical solution for the local damage variable was derived by substitution of the nonlocal damage variable for averaged damage variable in shear band and by using boundary condition as well as by resorting to the assumption that the actual thickness of shear band corresponds to the maximum local damage variable. It is found that local damage variable depends on the internal length parameter, coordinate, flow shear stress, shear strength, shear elastic and softening moduli. Assuming that the shear localization is initiated just at the peak strength, and that afterwards the strain-softening behavior of specimen occurs. The relation among shear strength, uniaxial compressive strength, flow shear and compressive stresses was established. The global damage variable was defined according to the measured stress-strain curve whether the post-peak response is snap-back or snap-through, which depends on the uniaxial compressive strength and flow compressive stress. A relation among local, nonlocal, and global damage variables in uniaxial compression was proposed analytically, and then a relation applicable to three-point bending was directly presented. The latter relation can be simplified for uniaxial tension condition if tensile stress is assumed to be uniform. Two examples were presented to investigate the two- and three-dimensional distributions of local damage variable in shear and tensile localized bands. The present analytical solutions for the distributed damage in shear and tensile localized bands qualitatively agree with the previous numerical predictions.

To study the tensile mechanical properties of sprayed FRP, 13 groups of specimens were tested through uniaxial tensile experiments, being analyzed about stress-strain curve, tensile strength, elastic modulus, breaking elongation, and other mechanical properties. Influencing factors on tensile mechanical properties of sprayed FRP such as fiber type, resin type, fiber volume ratio, fiber length, and composite thickness were studied in the paper too. The results show that both fiber type and resin type have an obvious influence on tensile mechanical properties of sprayed FRP. There will be a specific fiber volume ratio for sprayed FRP to obtain the best tensile mechanical property. The increase of fiber length can lead to better tensile performance, while that of composite thickness results in property degradation. The study can provide reference to popularization and application of sprayed FRP material used in structure reinforcement.

In this paper, the writers consider the problem of the propagation of an extensional elastoplastic wave through a long thin bar heated at the end to produce a continuously decreasing temperature profile. The temperature distribution is approximated as an exponential function, and the stress-strain curve is considered to be bilinear with temperature-dependent mechanical properties. The problem is formulated and solved numerically by the method of characteristics. Several graphical results are provided, and the effects of the temperature gradient and the mechanical properties are discussed in terms of plastic wave attenuation.
