A combined experimental and numerical study is undertaken to examine the effects of pre-machined holes on strain localization and overall ductility in eutectic tin-lead alloy. Thin-sheet specimens with equal-sized holes aligned in the tensile loading direction are used. The tensile tests were performed at room temperature with a nominal strain rate of 0.001 s . The specimen, containing one hole...

The plastic stability and ductile rupture under evolution of cavity-damage and local strength inhomogeneities are examined theoretically for uniaxial tension. Analytical solutions are derived for that arbitrary strain-induced formations modified to stress-triaxiality evolution during necking. With increasing rate of damage formation necking is enhanced and ductility as well as load drop reduces...

The effects of a third element, namely silver, copper, zinc, or antimony, on the microstructure and mechanical properties of eutectic tin-bismuth (Sn–Bi) solder were investigated. The investigation showed that, except for zinc, the addition of a trace amount of the third element improves the ductility of the Sn–Bi solder owing to the formation of a fine, homogeneous ternary eutectic microstruct...

Nanocrystalline Ni-W alloys having both high ductility and high strength were produced by electrodeoisition. The plating bath for the electrodeposition contained nickel sulfate, citric acid, sodium tungstate and ammonium chloride, and was operated at various bath concentrations and conditions of electrolysis. The ductility and tensile strength of the deposited alloys are strongly influenced by ...

The microstructures and mechanical properties in compression (25 °C, 1000 °C 1200 °C) of CrNb, CrNbTi CrNbTaTi are reported. CrNb alloy consisted a Cr2Nb Laves phase matrix Nb-rich BCC precipitates. After additions Ti (CrNbTi alloy) the microstructure inverts to Ti-rich matrix, with precipitates inside phase. Further Ta refined decreased volume fraction particles alloy. exhibited limited ductil...

Due to the fact that the buckling-restrained brace core yields subject to both tension and compression, it can adsorb energy and exhibit high ductility rendering it proper for tolerating earthquake loads. One of the important objectives of seismic standards is safeguarding the appropriate ductility for the structures because the structures, in case of being ductile, can dissipate a considerable...

Stress magnitude and variability as estimated from large scale finite element (FE) analyses have been associated with compressive strength of human vertebral cancellous cores but these relationships have not been explored for whole vertebral bodies. In this study, the objectives were to investigate the relationship of FE-calculated stress distribution parameters with experimentally determined s...

Inks comprised of metallic Fe or Ni powders, an elastomeric binder, and graded volatility solvents are 3D-printed via syringe extrusion and sintered to form metallic cellular structures. Similar structures are created from Fe2O3 and NiO particle-based inks, with an additional hydrogen reduction step before sintering. All sintered structures exhibit 92–98% relative density within their struts, w...
