چکیده
ÐA functionally graded composite is prepared and the spatial gradation of Young's modulus in the functionally graded material (FGM) is measured. Elastic modulus gradients occur over length scales suitable for experimental mechanics investigations using optical interferometry. Crack tip ®elds are mapped in the FGM under quasi-static loading conditions with cracks oriented perpendicular to the direction of the elastic gradient and near the interface of the graded and the homogeneous portions of three-pointbending specimens. The optical measurements are used to extract fracture parameters based on the prevailing understanding of the crack tip behavior in FGMs. The results are also compared with ®nite element computations which incorporate measured elastic properties of the FGM. The advantage of using FGM interlayer as opposed to piecewise homogeneous joints is demonstrated through crack initiation tests. # 1998 Acta Metallurgica Inc. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

ÐAn unstable, f.c.c. Fe50Cu50 solid solution was prepared using high-energy ball milling of an elemental powder mixture. It was used as a parent alloy for isothermal annealing or low-energy ball milling (LEBM), both at 373±523 K. Alloy evolution was analyzed by X-ray diraction, MoÈ ssbauer spectroscopy and dierential scanning calorimetry. LEBM signi®cantly enhanced the initial decomposition r...

ÐThe grain boundary segregation of Bi in dilute polycrystalline Cu±Bi alloys was systematically studied as a function of temperature and composition. The temperature dependencies of the Gibbsian excess of Bi at the grain boundaries exhibited discontinuous changes at the temperatures close to, but dierent from the bulk solidus temperatures. The observed segregational phase transition was interp...

ÐIn current design the circuitry is extended very close to the edges of a silicon die to maximize useful surface area. When the die is bonded to a polymer substrate, with the circuitry facing the polymer, thermal mis®t stress concentrates at the die edges and may damage the circuitry. The stress distribution near a die edge is quanti®ed using a combination of asymptotic analysis and ®nite eleme...

ÐVapor deposited copper ®lms with h111i growth texture usually contain twin plates stacked normal to the growth direction. However, twins are rarely seen when growth occurs in other principle crystallographic directions. Atomistic modeling indicated that during h111i growth, adatoms occupied either parent or twin surface lattice sites with almost equal probability, resulting in a high nucleatio...

Debonding of films attached to substrates as well as fibers embedded in matrices typically involves initiation, steady-state propagation and a final transient as the debond converges on an edge or another debond. The emphasis in this paper is on the mechanics of the transient. Under most circumstances, a converging debond crack is characterized by an energy release rate that approaches zero, ca...
