Experimental Study on Tensile Behavior of Cement Paste, Mortar and Concrete under High Strain Rates

Effects of the strain rate on cement paste, mortar and concrete were studied. A modified SHPB testing technique with fl attened Brazilian disc（FBD） specimen was developed to measure the dynamic tensile stress-strain curve of materials. A pulse-shaped split Hopkinson pressure bar（SHPB） was employed to determine the dynamic tensile mechanical responses and failure behavior of materials under valid dynamic testing conditions. Quasi-static experiments were conducted to study material strain rate sensitivity. Strain rate sensitivity of the materials was measured in terms of the stress-strain curve, elastic modulus, tensile strength and critical strain at peak stress. Empirical relations between dynamic increase factor（DIF） and the material properties were derived and presented.

Finite Element Simulation of Flexible Roll Forming with Supplemented Material Data and the Experimental Verification

Flexible roll forming is a promising manufacturing method for the production of variable cross section products. Considering the large plastic strain in this forming process which is much larger than that of uniform deformation phase of uniaxial tensile test, the widely adopted method of simulating the forming processes with non-supplemented material data from uniaxial tensile test will certainly lead to large error. To reduce this error, the material data is supplemented based on three constitutive models. Then a finite element model of a six passes flexible roll forming process is established based on the supplemented material data and the original material data from the uniaxial tensile test. The flexible roll forming experiment of a B pillar reinforcing plate is carried out to verify the proposed method. Final cross section shapes of the experimental and the simulated results are compared. It is shown that the simulation calculated with supplemented material data based on Swift model agrees well with the experimental results, while the simulation based on original material data could not predict the actual deformation accurately. The results indicate that this material supplement method is reliable and indispensible, and the simulation model can well reflect the real metal forming process. Detailed analysis of the distribution and history of plastic strain at different positions are performed. A new material data supplement method is proposed to tackle the problem which is ignored in other roll forming simulations, and thus the forming process simulation accuracy can be greatly improved.

Experimental investigation of high temperature thermal contact resistance with interface material

Thermal contact resistance plays a very important role in heat transfer efficiency and thermomechanical coupling response between two materials,and a common method to reduce the thermal contact resistance is to fill a soft interface material between these two materials.A testing system of high temperature thermal contact resistance based on INSTRON 8874 is established in the present paper,which can achieve 600 C at the interface.Based on this system,the thermal contact resistance between superalloy GH600 material and three-dimensional braid C/C composite material is experimentally investigated,under different interface pressures,interface roughnesses and temperatures,respectively.At the same time,the mechanism of reducing the thermal contact resistance with carbon fiber sheet as interface material is experimentally investigated.Results show that the present testing system is feasible in the experimental research of high temperature thermal contact resistance.

Experimental Investigation into Shaping Particle-reinforced Material by WEDM-H

Al 2O 3 particle-reinforced material (6061 alloy ), which is one of new composites and characterized by high strength and small spe cific gravity, good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, has been widel y used in industry. But it is difficult to machine. Because of electric conducti vity, it can be shaped and processed by electro-machining means. However, this kind of material is mixed with the electrically conductive substances and the di electrically conductive substances, its machining process shows substantially di fferent from the machining of ordinary metal materials. This paper, based on a c ontrast experiment, investigates the machining mechanism and technique by WEDM t o shape the material and gives the optimum selection for the electric paramete rs in operation. The technologic index of shaping the new material by WEDM includes the cutting r ate and the surface roughness. There are a lot of factors that affect the techno logic index of WEDM, in which the electric parameters such as the machining volt age and current as well as the pulse duration, interval and frequency, play an i mportant part. In this experiment, the study focus mainly on the effect of the e lectric parameters on machining process and an orthogonal design is employed to select the proper electric parameters. By experiment, we find how the voltage and current affect machining process and study the removal mechanism by WEDM-HS to machine Al 2O 3 particle-reinforce d material. Besides the machining current and voltage, there are still other fac tors that can affect machining process and state. In order to find out which is the most important factor and to optimize the electric parameters, the orthogona l design has been adopted to perform the experiment. By the analysis to the rela tive differences among different factor levels, the rank of significance for fou r factors is in turn the pulse duration, the voltage, the machining current and the pulse interval. At last we can draw a conclusion that 6061 alloy can be shaped by WEDM-HS, and give the suitable electric parameters to obtain good surface roughness and high machining efficiency.

Process of Microcellular Propellants with Adjustable Skin Thickness

Microcellular propellants show a vast applicable prospect due to their special shell-pore structure. The effects of saturation pressure and desorption time on skin thickness are studied. The skin thickness is observed and measured using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the skin thickness decreases when saturation pressure increases from 15 MPa to 30 MPa. In contrast, the skin thickness increases as the desorption time changes from 2 min to 20 min.Therefore, the microcellular propellants with adjustable skin thickness can be obtained under the variable process conditions such as saturation pressure and desorption time.

Effect of annealing on the microstructures and Vickers hardness at room temperature of intermetallics in Mo-Si system

The microstructures and Vickers hardness at room temperature of arc-meltingprocessed intermetallics of Mo_5Si_3-MoSi_2 hypoeutectic alloy and hypereutectic alloy annealed at1200℃ for different time were investigated. Lamellar structure consisted of Mo_5Si_3 (D8m) phaseand MoSi_2 (C11_b) phase was observed in all the alloys. For Mo_5Si_3-MoSi_2 hypoeutectic alloy, thelamellar structure was found only after annealing and developed well with fine spacing on the orderof hundred nanometers after annealing at 1200℃ for 48 h. But when the annealing time was up to 96h, the well-developed lamellar structure was destroyed. For Mo_5Si_3-MoSi_2 hypereutectic alloy, thelamellar structure was found both before and after annealing. However the volume fraction andspacing of the lamellar structure did not change significantly before and after annealing. Theeffects of the formation, development and destruction of lamellar structure on Vickers hardness ofalloys were also investigated. When Mo_5Si_3-MoSi_2 hypoeutectic alloy annealed at 1200℃ for 48 h,the Vickers hardness was improved about 19% compared with that without annealing and formation oflamellar structure. The highest Vickers hardness of Mo5Si3-MoSi_2 hypereutectic was increasing about18% when annealing at 1200℃ for 48 h.

Primary study of the isothermal phase diagram of the Cu_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2 ternary system at 1150℃ in air

The isothermal phase diagram of the Cu2O-Al2O3-SiO2 ternary system at 1150℃ was reported for the samples which were prepared from sol-gel method and quenched by water after being heated at 1150℃ for 12 h. Based on the conventional X-ray powder diffraction （XRD） and in situ high-temperature XRD quantitative analysis,in addition to scanning electron microscopy measurement,the phase identification was achieved. Combining the deduction from the component phase diagrams of the binary systems using the phase equilibrium theorem,the primary isothermal phase diagram was plotted over the composition area Cu2O-mullite-SiO2. In this area,the approximate composition areas of two two-phase regions and one three-phase region,（L2＋Cr）,（L2＋M）,and （L1＋L2＋Tr）,were determined. Moreover,the precise composition areas of both of the three-phase regions （L2＋Cr＋M） and （L2＋M＋A） were determined according to the results of conventional and in situ high-temperature XRD quantitative analysis by Rietveld method.
