This study examines the mechanical properties and fracture modes of sandstone with single double cracks under varying confining pressures through triaxial compression tests. The stress–strain curves, parameters, both intact cracked are analyzed based on experimental results. finds that presence has a significant impact sandstone, greater damage observed an increase in number cracks. peak streng...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the viscoelastic properties of demineralized dentin matrix. Stress-relaxation studies were done on matrices in tension and strain elongation or creep studies were done in both tension and compression. METHODS Mid-coronal dentin disks were prepared from extracted unerupted human third molars. Disks were 0.5 mm thick for stress-relaxation or tensile creep experiments and ...

Room temperature monotonic and cyclic stress–strain curves for single crystal and polycrystalline NiTi shape memory alloys containing Ti3Ni4 precipitates are presented. The tensile and compressive single crystal results illustrate the importance of crystallographic texture, the unidirectional nature of the martensitic transformation, and martensite detwinning on tension-compression stress–strai...

with the expanding demand on application of magnesium alloys in automotive and aerospace industries, robust methods in fatigue characterization of commercially available magnesium alloys with high specific strength is anticipated. in this paper, rotating bending load controlled tests has been studied on specimens machined from an extrusion piece of az31b. due to asymmetric and anisotropic behav...

Article history: Received 12 July 2014 Accepted 11 September 2014 Available online 20 September 2014 A single hit, hot isothermal plane strain compression (PSC) test was used to understand the microstructural evolution during large strain deformation of aluminium–copper–lithium alloy AA 2195. Hot isothermal PSC tests were conducted in the temperature range of 300–450 C and at strain rates of 0....

The nitrogen-containing austenitic stainless steel 316LN has been chosen as the material for nuclear main-pipe, which is one of the key parts in 3rd generation nuclear power plants. In this research, a constitutive model of nitrogen-containing austenitic stainless steel is developed. The true stress-true strain curves obtained from isothermal hot compression tests over a wide range of temperatu...

A network of entangled multiwall carbon nanotubes is an assembly of non-bonded and randomly oriented units whose mechanical behavior is affected by their buckling, compression and slippage at contact points. Slippage and irreversible nanotube rearrangements are evidenced by the hysteresis in the stress-strain curves during loading and unloading cycles. To model the mechanical behavior, a nonlin...

Measurement of stress-strain curves under tension-compression reverse loadings is crucially important for the understanding Bauschinger effect aluminum alloy sheets. Uniaxial compression sheet metals carried out with supporting flat plates, which clamp a specimen to prevent it from buckling. The forces generate thickness stress and friction forces. In present study, influence force on curve val...

The mechanical behavior and microstructure at fracture of a rolled AZ31B magnesium alloy were experimentally investigated using tubular specimens subjected to combined axial-torsion loading with different ratios the axial shear stress components. state influences stress-strain responses. equivalent stress-equivalent plastic strain curves under tension-torsion show sigmoidal shape peak value har...

Modeling the flow curves of materials at elevated temperatures is the first step in mathematical simulation of the hot deformation processes of them. In this work a comparative study was provided to examine the capability of three different constitutive equations in modeling the hot deformation flow curves of AZ91 magnesium alloy. For this, the Arrhenius equation with strain dependent constants...
