Although extensive aging and strain (bake hardening, BH) studies have been carried out on dual-phase steels, the behavior of dual matrix structure (DMS) ductile iron (DI), as a potential way to improve its mechanical properties, has not addressed until now. This research was designed study DI with ferrite-martensite structure. DMS-DI martensite volume fraction 30% produced by intercritical aust...

This paper reports ductile or partial ductile mode machining of silicon, glass and some advanced ceramics. Results are presented using scanning electron micrographs of the machined surfaces. Grinding and lapping operations using inexpensive machine tools could produce ductile streaks on surfaces of these brittle materials under good conditions. Manufacture of spherical glass lenses by the fract...

a comprehensive review of fatigue behavior and fatigue design of heavy section wind turbine castings made of ductile iron en-gjs-400-18-lt is performed. common metallurgical defects that are affecting fatigue behavior of this material were studied. review of different researches on quantitative effect of chunky graphite and micro structure on fatigue behavior of en-gjs-400-18-lt was performed. ...

[1] We have conducted double‐shear biaxial deformation experiments in layers of NaCl within its fully‐plastic (FP) regime up to large shear strains (g < 50) with velocity steps. From this, we have empirically formulated a rate‐ and state‐dependent flow law which explains the transient mechanical behavior. The steady state flow stress in the FP regime can be explained by a power‐law with a stres...

Specially designed ductile end diaphragms of steel bridge superstructures have previously proved, both theoretically and experimentally, to dissipate seismic input energy, protecting other substructure and superstructure members. Although ductile diaphragms have been introduced in the latest AASHTO guide specifications as a structural system that can be used to resist transverse earthquake effe...

Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) experiments conducted on single crystal 6-H Silicon Carbide (SiC) has shown chip formation similar to that seen in the machining of metals. The ductile nature of SiC is believed to be the result of a high pressure phase transformation (HPPT), which generates a plastic zone of material that behaves in a metallic manner. This metallic behavior is the basis for ...

To this end, we perform first-principles quantum mechanical calculations for...

The design and behavior of a ductile structural system called a knee-braced moment frame are presented in this paper. The design of this structural system is based on a capacity-design concept that results in ductile behavior. The knee part is a fuse-like component that dissipates energy by the formation of plastic flexural and/or shear hinges at its ends and mid-span, when the building is subj...
