Isostatic pressure effects on the elastic and electronic properties of non-doped and Mn4+-doped K2SiF6 (KSF) have been investigated by first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT). Bulk modulus was obtained by the Murnaghan’s equation of states (EOS) using the relationship between volume and pressures at pressures between 0 and 40 GPa, and elastic constants were calculated by the stress–strain relationship giving small distortions at each pressure point. The other elastic parameters such as shear modulus, sound velocity and Debye temperature, which can be obtained from the elastic constants, were also estimated. The influence of external isostatic pressure on the electronic properties, such as crystal field strength 10Dq and emission energy of 2E → 4A2 transition (Eem), of KSF:Mn4+ was also studied. The results suggest that 10Dq and Eem linearly increase and decrease, respectively, with increasing pressure.

Diffusion of gaseous and particulate pollutants from tall stacks has formed an important element in the control of air pollution since the industrial revolution began. These tall reinforced concrete chimneys are considered to be cantilever columns subjected to axial load resulted from the self-weight of the shell, linings and other accessories and bending moments which are resulted from the lateral loads like wind forces and earthquake forces. The recently published IS: 4998 – 2015 adopted a limit state design concept which requires well defined stress-strain relationship for concrete and steel. It has been seen that there are many disparities lies between the stress-strain relationships of constituent materials adopted by IS: 4998 – 2015 and other design standards. This paper discusses various methods pertaining to the estimation of the ultimate strength of thin-walled hollow circular sections of reinforced concrete chimneys, subjected to wind loading. A comparative study of various methods based on the prevalent codes reveals considerable disparity in the predicted ultimate strength values. These differences have been critically analyzed and results are discussed in this paper in terms of ultimate strength along with the contribution of concrete and steel, ultimate curvature and depth of neutral axis. For the comparison of above-mentioned parameters, design recommendations of IS 4998 – 2015, CICIND 2011, ACI 307 – 08 are used.

Bar straightness is one of several factors that can affect the quality of the strain wave signal in a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). Recently, it was found that the bar components of the SHPB at the Lightweight Structures Laboratory displayed a deviation in straightness because of manufacturing limitations. An evaluation was needed to determine whether the strain wave signals produced from this SHPB are acceptable or not. A numerical model was developed to investigate this effect. In this paper, experimental work was performed to evaluate the quality of the signal in the SHPB and to validate the numerical model. Good agreement between the experimental results and the numerical results was obtained for the strain rates and stress-strain relationship for mild steel ST37 and aluminum 6061 specimen materials. The recommended bar straightness tolerance is proposed as 0.36 mm per 100 mm.

In response to the major challenges faced by China’s transition to green low-carbon energy under the dual-carbon goal, the use of energy Internet cross-boundary thinking will help to develop research on the integration of renewable clean energy and buildings. Energy piles are a new building-energy-saving technology that uses geothermal energy in the shallow soil of the Earth’s surface as a source of cold (heat) to achieve heating in winter and cooling in summer. It is a complex thermomechanical working process that changes the temperature of the rock and soil around the pile, and the temperature change significantly influences the mechanical properties of natural loess. Although the soil temperature can be easily and quickly obtained by using sensors connected to the Internet of Things, the mechanical properties of natural loess will change greatly under the influence of temperature. To explore the influence of temperature on the stress–strain relationship of structural loess, the undrained triaxial consolidation tests were carried out under different temperatures (5, 20, 50 and 70∘C) and different confining pressures (50, 100, 200 and 400[Formula: see text]kPa), and a binary-medium model was introduced to simulate the stress–strain relationship. By introducing the damage rate under temperature change conditions, a binary-medium model of structural loess under variable temperature conditions was established, and the calculation method of the model parameters was proposed. Finally, the calculated results were compared with the test results. The calculation results showed that the established model has good applicability.

Die casting is forcing molten metal into a mould with high pressure. Die casting has two dies namely moving die and fixed die where the moving one will move over the fixed die. Die casting is majorly used for high-volume production. This paper focused on the physical phenomenon of die casting for two dies (moving die and fixed die) using two different alloy materials with variable material chemical compositions. The numerical analysis is carried out for the die casting process to determine the crack formation zone by temperature distribution and structural analysis by stress-strain relationship. The numerical analysis is carried out for both the dies. The fixed die is analyzed with an H13 tool steel material with two moving die materials as aluminum alloy (A356) and magnesium alloy (AZ91D). Both the dies (fixed and moving) were designed by using design software and meshing is carried out followed by analysis using the analysis software. The physical parameter for the dies is applied that is temperature distribution is carried out by applying a temperature of 850 °C and 650 °C over the fixed die for aluminum and magnesium alloy, respectively. Structural analysis is carried out for the moving die with a load of 1,000 N for both aluminum and magnesium alloys with 1000  number of iterations. The results from the numerical analysis are derived and analyzed for both temperature distribution and structural analysis. The crack formation zone is found out by means of temperature gradient and the stress-strain relationship is found out by means of structural analysis. From the results, it was concluded that the crack zone is obtained at 1.22E-10 °C/mm and 6.856E-14 °C/mm of thermal gradient and structural analysis in terms of maximum stress of 446.94 MPa and 448.52 MPa for aluminum and magnesium alloys, respectively.

Finite element analysis is extensively used in the design of rubber products. Rubber products can suffer from large amounts of distortion under working conditions as they are nonlinearly elastic, isotropic, and incompressible materials. Working conditions can vary over a large distortion range, and relate directly to different distortion modes. Hyperelastic material models can describe the observed material behaviour. The goal of this investigation was to understand the stress and relegation fields around the tips of cracks in nearly incompressible, isotropic, hyperelastic accouterments, to directly reveal the uniaxial stress–strain relationship of hyperelastic soft accouterments. Numerical and factual trials showed that measurements of the stress–strain relationship could duly estimate values of nonlinear strain and stress for the neo-Hookean, Yeoh, and Arruda–Boyce hyperelastic material models. Numerical models were constructed using the finite element method. It was found that results concerning strains of 0–20% yielded curvatures that were nearly identical for both the neo-Hookean, and Arruda–Boyce models. We could also see that from the beginning of the test (0–5% strain), the curves produced from our experimental results, alongside those of the neo-Hookean and Arruda–Boyce models were identical. However, the experiment’s curves, alongside those of the Yeoh model, converged at a certain point (30% strain for Pieces No. 1 and 2, and 32% for Piece No. 3). The results showed that these finite element simulations were qualitatively in agreement with the actual experiments. We could also see that the Yeoh models performed better than the neo-Hookean model, and that the neo-Hookean model performed better than the Arruda–Boyce model.

Stress-strain curve can accurately reflect the mechanical behavior of materials, and it is very important for structural design and nonlinear numerical analysis. Some cube and prism specimens were made to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of steel fiber reinforced alkali activated slag concrete (AASC); test results show that the strength, Young’s Elastic Modulus, and Poisson’s ratio all increase with the increase of steel fiber content. The steel fiber reinforced AASC shows an excellent postcracking behavior. Damage evolution parameter (D) was used to describe the formation and propagation of cracks, and continuum damage evolution model of steel fiber reinforced AASC was established by Weibull and Cauchy distribution. The establishing model can well describe the geometric characteristics of the key points of the concrete materials stress-strain curve. Finally, the accuracy of the model was verified by comparing the test stress-strain relationship curve of steel fiber reinforced AASC.

Conventional triaxial loading and unloading tests were carried out on sandstone samples in the Zigong area, of Sichuan Province, China. The changes in the elastic modulus of the unloading curves under different confining pressures were calculated, and the evolution law of the nonlinear properties of rock was analyzed. The results show that the rock is subjected to nonlinear damage during initial compaction, the elastic phase, destruction, and postpeak unloading. Moreover, the nonlinear behaviors of rock are restrained by the confining pressures. On this basis, a nonlinear stress-strain relationship affected by the average stress is proposed to describe nonlinear behaviors in the initial compaction stage. According to the test data, the evolution laws of various energies inside the rock during loading and unloading cycles are obtained. The results show that the external work is transformed into elastic energy and damage dissipated energy. Based on the energy analysis, the energy balance equation is established according to the law of energy conservation. By deriving the energy balance equation, the damage evolution equation of sandstone under triaxial loading is solved to establish a continuous constitutive model. The calculation results of the model are compared with the test results from two aspects of loading and postpeak unloading. The comparison results show that the proposed model, which reflects the whole stress-strain process and nonlinear properties of rock, could also describe the stress-strain relationship at the postpeak unloading stage to some extent.
