The other purpose is to study the effect of triaxial stress constraint on the deforma- tion and fracture behavior of polymers.Polycarbonate(PC),acrylonitrile-butadiene- styrene(ABS)and PC/ABS alloy are considered in this investigation.A series of circumferentially blunt-notched bars are used to experimentally generate different tri- axial stress fields.The fracture surfaces of specimens with different notch radius are examined by scanning electron microscope(SEM)to study the fracture and tough- ening mechanisms of polymer alloy.It is shown that the triaxial stress constraint has a significant effect on the deformation,fracture and toughening of PC,ABS and PC/ABS alloy.We will also discuss the extent to which a micromechanies criterion proposed by the first author can serve as a fracture criterion for ductile polymers. A new ductile fracture parameter is emphasized,which can be employed to evaluate the fracture ductility of polymers.Stress state independence of the parameter for the PC,ABS and PC/ABS alloy has been experimentally verified.展开更多

With the increase of rivet shank size, lap shear fracture load and mechanical interlock distance increased. Ultrafine grains were formed at the joint in AZ31B as a result of dynamic recrystallization, which contributed to the higher hardness. Fatigue life of the CFRP-AZ31B joint was studied at various peak loads of 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kN and compared with the resistance spot welded AZ31B-AZ31B from the open literature. The fatigue performance was better at higher peak load(>2 kN) and comparable to that of resistance spot welding of AZ31B to AZ31B at lower peak loads(<1 kN). From fractography, the crack initiation for lower peak load(<1 kN) case was observed at the fretting positions on the top and bottom surfaces of AZ31B sheet. When peak load was increased, fretting between the rivet and the top of AZ31B became more dominant to initiate a crack during fatigue testing.展开更多

The phy...Polymer quenchants are being used increasingly in the heat treating industry. One reason for this increase is the continual engineering advancements that facilitate their replacement for quench oils and water. The physical properties of a polymer quench bath directly affect the cooling rate of a quenched part. These properties include the type of quenchant, concentration, and agitation. These parameters must be controlled to optimize the quenching process in terms of alloy microstructure, properties, and performance. Such data is scarce for cast aluminum alloys in the literatures and a quantitative measurement of the effects from individual process parameter is not available. In this study a master alloy of modified eutectic (Al-12%Si) was prepared and used. The specimens were quenched and heat treated in distilled water, food oil, machine oil and (0.2-1.4) wt% concentrations of polyvinylalcohol (PVA). The specimens are characterized for x-ray diffraction, microstructure, hardness, and wear rate. The results had shown that the use of (0.6) wt% PVA revealed a maximum hardness with a slight decrease in the wear rate, and a maximum decrease in the wear rate was achieved when (1.2) wt % PVA was used compared to the reference cast alloy, also results had revealed that the use of polymer quenchants affect positively well in the decrease in the wear rate of the eutectic Al-Si alloy over the traditional quenching media.展开更多
