We discuss the stability of weld residual strain under static and quasi cyclic transverse tensile loading in the elastic and elastic–plastic region. The test welds were joined with low transformation temperature weld filler materials with 10 wt% Cr and varying Ni-content from 8 to 12 wt%. Using neutron diffraction the residual lattice strain in the martensitic α'- and austenitic γ-phase in the fusion zone as well as the ferritic α-phase in the heat affected zone and base metal as induced by welding, superimposed by stepwise tensile loading and after unloading was measured. The amount of retained austenite in the fusion zone increases with increasing Ni-content, but it decreases with increasing load level due to stress induced martensite formation. In the as-welded condition the transverse macroscopic residual lattice strain was found to be in low compression in the fusion zone in each weld, while the heat affected zone was in tension. Local plastic deformation of the γ-phase as a result of yielding during tensile loading in combination with the change in phase fraction resulted in increased macroscopic compression in the fusion zone. The reduced yield strength in the heat affected zone resulted in plastic deformation and a considerable shift into compression. Comparison with the cross weld distribution of the hardness and FWHM of the neutron diffraction interference lines supported the assumption of plastic deformation of the γ- and α-phase in the fusion and heat affected zone, respectively, while the α'-phase in the fusion zone was stressed within the elastic regime only. Microstructural observations as well as measurement of the local γ-phase fraction by means of laboratory X-ray diffraction in the fusion zone strengthen these observations.
This study provides an analysis on the fire safety of passengers and the fire protection of coaches and buses. A brief review of major bus fire incidents, an overview of current regulations in Europe, and their limitations are presented. The study finds that the current small-scale fire test methods described in UN ECE Reg No. 118 need to be replaced by test methods that can assess the reaction to fire of materials when exposed to ignition sources of varying sizes. To address these shortcomings, the study proposed an expert recommendation to update the material fire safety requirements and testing for buses. Additional measures are proposed, derived from objectives and strategies applied in other transport sectors, and can be tested through existing European and international standards, which are widely used by several industries. These measures aim to extend the time with tenable conditions for a safe evacuation in case of fire, reduce the degree of damage to buses, reduce the risk for fast and excessive thermal exposure on modern energy carriers needed for a more sustainable transport sector.
While there is a large body of literature on the micro-mechanical behavior of metal matrix composites (MMCs) under uniaxial applied stress, very little is available on multi-phase MMCs. In order to cast light on the reinforcement mechanisms and damage processes in such multi-phase composites, materials made by an Al-based piston alloy and containing one and two ceramic reinforcements (planar-random oriented alumina fibers and SiC particles) were studied. In-situ compression tests during neutron diffraction experiments were used to track the load transfer among phases, while X-ray computed tomography on pre-strained samples was used to monitor and quantify damage. We found that damage progresses differently in composites with different orientations of the fiber mat. Because of the presence of intermetallic network, it was observed that the second ceramic reinforcement changed the load transfer scenario only at very high applied load, when also intermetallic particles break. We rationalized the present results combining them with previous investigations and using a micromechanical model.
Explaining Deviatoric Residual Stresses in Aluminum Matrix Composites with Complex Microstructure
(2020)
The residual stresses in multiphase metal Matrix composites with both random planar-oriented short fibers and particles were studied by neutron diffraction and by a model based on the reformulation of classic Maxwell’s homogenization method. Contrary to common understanding and state-of-the-art models, we experimentally observed that randomly oriented phases possess non-hydrostatic residual stress. The recently developed modeling Approach allows calculating the residual stress in all phases of the composites. It rationalizes the presence of deviatoric stresses Accounting for the interaction of random oriented phases with fibers having preferential orientation.
The determination of residual stresses becomes more complicated with increasing complexity of the structures investigated. Additive manufacturing techniques generally allow the production of ‘lattice structures’ without any additional manufacturing step. These lattice structures consist of thin struts and are thus susceptible to internal stress-induced distortion and even cracks. In most cases, internal stresses remain locked in the structures as residual stress.
The determination of the residual stress in lattice structures through nondestructive neutron diffraction is described in this work. It is shown how two difficulties can be overcome: (a) the correct alignment of the lattice structures within the neutron beam and (b) the correct determination of the residual stress field in a representative part of the structure. The magnitude and the direction of residual stress are discussed. The residual stress in the strut was found to be uniaxial and to follow the orientation of the strut, while the residual stress in the knots was more hydrostatic. Additionally, it is shown that strain measurements in at least seven independent directions are necessary for the estimation of the principal stress directions. The measurement directions should be chosen according to the sample geometry and an informed choice on the possible strain field. If the most prominent direction is not measured, the error in the calculated stress magnitude increases considerably.
Um den Anforderungen der Bauordnung an den Brandschutz für Gebäude gerecht zu werden, sind bauliche Anlagen so zu errichten und zu betreiben, dass der Entstehung eines Brandes und der Ausbreitung von Feuer und Rauch vorgebeugt, die Rettung von Menschen und Tieren sowie wirksame Löscharbeiten ermöglicht werden.
Hierbei besteht, einer steigenden Komplexität sowie einem differenzierten Nutzungskonzept öffentlicher Gebäude geschuldet, häufig die Notwendigkeit von normativen Vorgaben abzuweichen und dennoch ein gleichwertiges Sicherheitsniveau nachzuweisen.
Es werden Personensimulationsmodelle eingesetzt, die einerseits das Vorhandensein eines Schutzzielniveaus durch die Abbildungen von Personenbewegungen nachweisen können und andererseits durch Parametervariation eine szenarienabhängige Betrachtung ermöglichen.
Der vorliegende Beitrag vergleicht die Ergebnisse einer kleinskaligen Evakuierungsübung mit drei mikroskopischen Personensimulationsmodellen und geht der Frage nach der Aussagekraft dieser Bewertungsmethode nach. Es zeigt sich, dass die alleinige Betrachtung absoluter Entleerungszeiten keine zuverlässige Beurteilungsgrundlage für das komplexe Schutzziel Personensicherheit darstellt.
In structural engineering timber is appreciated due to its low weight, its high aesthetic quality and because it is a renewable resource. The market share of timber structures and wood based hybrid structures will clearly increase over the next few years due to greater environmental awareness and a higher demand for sustainability. However, building with timber is marked by characteristics which lead to significant disadvantages in comparison wifh technical materials. For example, in outdoor areas Chemical and structural approaches offen lead to unsatisfactory and expensive Solutions with respect to durability. An idea is to make natural lumber a high-performance material which can be designed to meet the engineers’ demands conceming strength, stiffness, durability, shape, safety etc. These changes can affect the material itself, new technologies or a new approach to monitoring. Especially hybrids made of common timber products and technical textiles or enhanced timber products are high-capacitive and reach high bearing strengths with low material input and good durability. These hybrids are particularly qualified to use the advantages of wood and minimize the disadvantages. They can be used in different ways for load bearing structures, i.e. bridges. New construction types need monitoring to observe the stress and strains for which they were designed, and the structures’ behaviour as well as to guarantee required safety levels. The aim of successful usage of fibre optic measurement technology in timber elements was the development of a technology for measuring the lengthening in timber elements and wood based hybrid elements by using fibre optic sensors. The scientific and technical challenge was to develop an applicationtechnology for optical glass fibres in timber and densified veneer wood.
In laboratory tests as well as with the erection of a footbridge and during in-situ tests it could be shown that the structurally integrated fibre optic sensor technology used is suitable for short and long term measurement. The developed embedment technology tums out to be practical and fit for good transfer of strain-values from timber to the modified sensor fibres.
Atomistic packing models have been created, which help to better understand the experimentally observed swelling behavior of glassy polysulfone and poly (ether sulfone), under CO2 gas pressures up to 50 bar at 308 K. The experimental characterization includes the measurement of the time-dependent volume dilation of the polymer samples after a pressure step and the determination of the corresponding gas concentrations by gravimetric gas-sorption measurements. The models obtained by force-field-based molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics methods allow a detailed atomistic analysis of representative swelling states of polymer/gas systems, with respect to the dilation of the matrix. Also, changes of free volume distribution and backbone mobility are accessible. The behavior of gas molecules in unswollen and swollen polymer matrices is characterized in terms of sorption, diffusion, and plasticization.
Der vorliegende Fachartikel stellt die wichtigsten zerstörungsfreien Prüfmethoden zur Qualitätssicherung von dünnen Strukturklebungen vor. Auf diese Weise wird ersichtlich, welche Methoden neben der zerstörenden Prüfung von dünnen Strukturklebungen eingesetzt werden können, um einen Haftfestigkeitsverlust zu detektieren. Steigende Leichtbau- und Dämpfungsanforderungen an großflächige Blechbauteile sorgen trotz erhöhter Kosten für einen zunehmenden Einsatz von modernen hybriden Schichtverbundwerkstoffen in zahlreichen Konstruktionsanwendungen. In der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie gehören solche Werkstoffe seit geraumer Zeit zum aktuellen Stand der Technik, wohingegen diese Werkstoffkonzepte in der mobilen Großserie derzeit nur selten zum Einsatz kommen. Neben dem Materialversagen der einzelnen Schichten von Schichtverbundwerkstoffen spielt das interlaminare Versagen der Schichten untereinander eine entscheidende Rolle. In der Umformtechnik ist es möglich, dass die polymere Zwischenschicht und das Deckblech nach der Umformung noch in Kontakt stehen, obwohl die Scherfestigkeit bereits überschritten wurde. Dieser Kraftschluss der beiden Fügepartner resultiert aus den schwachen Van-der-Waals-Kräften, die eine eindeutige Detektion mit Hilfe von zerstörungsfreier Prüfung erschweren. Die vorliegende Publikation soll die Eignung diverser zerstörungsfreier Prüfverfahren auf die Detektion von sogenannten „kissing bonds“ (schwaches Anhaften der Schichten nach Versagen der Verbindung) überprüfen.
