A Solution for Estimating the Tensile Yield Strength From Small Specimens

Yield & Tensile Strength of Steel & Aluminium Using Microindentation

Critical Strain Energy Density from Tensile Specimens

Fracture has always been a serious concern in the design and repair of steel structures such as ships. Because of these concerns, much research has been ongoing in the causes of fractures and in ways which they could be predicted and thus prevented. The objective of this study was to flnd, test and evaluate a method for measuring tht:: critical strain energy density with tensile specimens. Plas...

Numerical Analysis of the Shape Effect on the Tensile Strength Evaluation of Axisymmetric Specimens

This paper analyses the shape effect on the tensile strength of axisymmetric rock specimens by an improved adaptive dynamic relaxation method. It is shown that the present approach is convenient and &cient. Numerical results for spheroidal specimens with different shapes reveal the variation of stress distributions along the loading axes and suggest that loading along the shorter principal axis...

Experimental Study of the Nugget Diameter Effect on Tensile-Shear Strength in AISI 1008 Spot Welding Specimens

The Spot welding is widely used for joining thin sheets in different industries; such as automotive industry. This method of welding is very easy to automate and maintain. In this study, the effect of nugget diameter on the tensile-shear strength of the spot welding joints was investigated. The specimens were manufactured from AISI 1008 HR sheets with 1.0 mm thickness. The eight different elect...

Effect of a caries-detecting solution on the tensile bond strength of four dentin adhesive systems.

This study investigated the effect of a caries-detecting solution on the tensile bond strength (TBS) to sound bovine dentin--which was either rinsed thoroughly of or contaminated with the caries-detecting solution. Caries Detector (1.0% acid red in propylene glycol) was applied on flat dentin surfaces for 10 seconds, rinsed, and dried with syringe air. In another group, Caries Detector was not ...
