The implementation of additive manufacturing techniques in the production of mission critical structural components is challenged by its low throughput and limited build envelope. In recent years, hybrid production methods are emerging to bridge …
Damage evolution in two types of shear-dominant quasi-statically loaded specimens, with a single spherical pore embedded at their mid-gauge section, is analysed numerically. The evolving damage in those geometrically identical specimens is …
Magnesium alloys are primarily associated with complex forming mechanisms, which yield ductility at high temperatures. In sheet metal forming, high triaxiality stress states that favor the ductile damage mechanisms of void formation and growth are …
The methodology used to measure transient temperature changes in impacted solids, using high-speed infrared detectors, is presented and discussed thoroughly. The various steps leading to a reliable measurement, namely selection of the sensing device, …
The AlCrFe 2 Ni 2 high entropy alloy exhibits an interesting microstructure, which changes considerably when various thermal treatments are applied. These changes are manifested mostly through the precipitation and dissolution of several BCC and FCC …
The alloy system Al-(Co)-Cr-Fe-Ni contains compositional ranges where a solid state BCC-FCC phase transformation leads to dual-phase materials composed of face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) phases with nearly equal volume …
The science of fractography revolves around the correlation between topographic characteristics of the fracture surface and the mechanisms and external conditions leading to their creation. While being a topic of investigation for centuries, it has …
Fracture toughness of a material depends on its microstructure and the imposed loading conditions. Intuitively, the resultant fracture surfaces must contain the information about the interlacing of these intrinsic (microstructure) and extrinsic …
Damage evolution in two types of shear-dominant quasi-statically loaded specimens, with a single spherical pore embedded at their mid-gauge section, is analysed numerically. The evolving damage in those geometrically identical specimens is …
Materials and construction methods of nests vary between bird species and at present, very little is known about the relationships between architecture and function in these structures. This study combines computational and experimental techniques to …
