Thermographic Study of AZ31B Magnesium Alloy under Cyclic Loading: Temperature Evolution Analysis and Fatigue Limit Estimation

Ratcheting crystal plasticity modeling in microstructure of magnesium alloy under stress-controlled cyclic tensile loading with non-zero mean stress

Todays, the requirement of lowering the vehicle weight for the reduction of the fuel consumption and emissions, one of the methods considered by designers is to use the ligh magnesium alloy under cylclic loadings. In this article, considering the microstructure of the AZ91D magnesium alloy, its crystalline structure, a model for predicting the ratcheting behavior of this alloy was adapted and v...

Constitutive Modelling of AZ31B-O Magnesium Alloy for Cryogenic Machining

The success of a FE model for metal cutting process is strongly dependent on the accurate characterization of the workpiece material, under similar conditions as those found in metal cutting. In this paper, dynamic shear tests using a Gleeble machine have been performed on 4 mm thickness disks of AZ31B-O magnesium alloy, using a special designed tool. In order to include the effects of the cryo...

Prediction of corrosion rate of AZ31B magnesium alloy under salt fog environment in NaCl solution

Magnesium alloys have gained considerable interest as a material for automotive and aerospace applications due to its low density, high specific strength, and good castability. However, another considerable issue is their corrosion properties. This restricts their practical applications. In this present research, corrosion behavior of the AZ31B magnesium alloy was evaluated by conducting salt f...

Investigation of fatigue behavior of polyester filament woven fabrics under cyclic loading

Limit State of Heterogeneous Smart Structures under Unknown Cyclic Loading

Abstract—This paper presents a numerical solution, namely limit and shakedown analysis, to predict the safety state of smart structures made of heterogeneous materials under unknown cyclic loadings, for instance, the flexure hinge in the micro-positioning stage driven by piezoelectric actuator. In combination of homogenization theory and finite-element method (FEM), the safety evaluation proble...
