present paper is devoted to stress and deformation analyses of heated variable thickness functionally graded (fg) circular plate with clamped supported, embedded on a gradient elastic foundation and subjected to non-uniform transverse load. the plate is coupled by an elastic medium which is simulated as a winkler- pasternak foundation with gradient coefficients in the radial and circumferential...

In this study, the effect of tensile test temperature (148 to 673 K) on the microstructural evolutions and the mechanical properties of high manganese twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel with the chemical composition of Fe- 31Mn-3Al-3Si (wt. %) was investigated. XRD, SEM and TEM were used to study the microstructural evolutions. Stacking fault energy (SFE) of the alloy was also calculated ...

Grain refinement improves the mechanical properties and formability of metals and alloys. So far, several different grain refinement methods have been proposed and studied. Severe plastic deformation is one of the most promising and efficient methods. Therefore, in the present study the possibility of imposing a two-step severe plastic deformation (Extrusion and Equal channel angular pressing) ...

in the present study, the microstructural changes of a nickel based superalloy nimonic80a during a non-isothermal deformation were studied. therefore, microstructure evolutionduring hot side pressing test was predicted with combined methods of finite element analysis andprocessing map of the material. the predicted results were validated through experimentalmicrostructural studies. the results ...

in this work, dynamic mechanical properties of three high-manganese steels with trip/twip or fully twip characteristics are studied. high strain rate experiments in the range of true strain rates between ~500 and 1800 /s are conducted using a dynamic torsional testing setup. all the three steels show a positive strain rate sensitivity in the intermediate range of strain rates (up to 500 /s). bu...

in this paper, the correlation between the surface rumpling and cracking phenomena with twinning mechanism during plastic deformation of hadfield steel has been investigated. the effect of stacking fault energy and the amount of strain are evaluated. the experimental samples with specific amounts of carbon, manganese and aluminum resulting in different stacking fault energies, were produced usi...

the flow stress of steel depends significantly on microstructural changes taken place during hot deformation processes. in hot deformation processes, the flow stress of steel is influenced by two main metallurgical phenomena, i.e. recovery and recrystallization, along with its chemical composition and thermo-mechanical parameters. the final mechanical properties of steel are also determined by ...

In this work, plastic deformation was locally introduced at room temperature by nanoindentation on a γ-TiAl-based alloy. Comprehensive analyses of microstructures were performed before and after deformation. In particular, the Burgers vectors, the line directions, and the mechanical twinning systems were studied via accurate electron channeling contrast imaging. Accommodation of the deformation...

The hot compression tests were carried on X45CrNiW189 valve steel (X45) in the temperature range of 1000– 1200 °C and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperature softening behavior of this steel. For the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effective strain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. On the basis of experi...
