The purpose of this research was to investigate the creep behaviour of the heterogeneous Timber-UHPFRC beams. New developments have been done to further improve the structural performance, such as strengthening of the timber (glulam) beam by bonding composite material combine with an ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) internally reinforced with or without carbon fibre rei...

Directionally solidified (DS) Ni-base superalloys have become a commonly used material in gas turbine components. Controlled solidification during the material manufacturing process leads to a special alignment of the grain boundaries within the material. This alignment results in different material properties dependent on the orientation of the material. When used in gas turbine applications t...

Tensile–creep experiments were conducted in the temperature range 100–200 C and stress range 20–83 MPa for a series of magnesium–zinc–yttrium (Mg-Zn-Y) and mangnesium-zinc–zirconium (Mg-ZnZr) alloys ranging from 0 to 5.4 wt% Zn, 0 to 3 wt% Y, and 0 to 0.6 wt.% Zr. The greatest tensile– creep resistance was exhibited by an Mg–4.1Zn–0.2Y alloy. The room-temperature yield strength increased with i...

in this article, the effects of adding zn and conducting age hardening treatment on impression creep properties of mg-5%sn alloy have been investigated. the creep tests were carried out using impression creep method in which a cylindrical punch was used to apply the stress in range of 450 mpa < σimp < 270 mpa and at the test temperatures of 150, 175 and 200 °c. the results showed that age harde...

In two-phase TiAl-based alloys, the coexisting 2 and phases exhibit a thermal expansion mismatch, so that increased creep rates during thermal cycling may be expected. Creep deformation of two g-TiAl-based alloys was investigated during thermal cycles between 900 and 300 or 350 C with applied tensile stresses of 32.5 or 37.0 MPa. Measured thermal cycling creep rates were compared with isotherma...

Due to the importance effect of magnetic field on the history of long-term radial and circumfer-ential creep strain and radial displacement for a three-phase nano-composite exposed to an internal pressure and placed uniform temperature, the present article subject has been pro-posed. Three-phase nano-composite made of single-walled carbon nano tubes (SWCNTs)/ glass fiber (GF)/vinylester used to...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term vertical deformations of segmented pre-tensioned concrete bridges by a new approach. It provides a practical and reliable method for calculating the amount of long-term deformation based on creep and shrinkage in segmented prestress bridges. There are various relationships for estimating the creep and shrinkage of concrete. The analytical r...

Native collagen gels are important biomimetic cell support scaffolds, and a plastic compression process can now be used to rapidly remove fluid to any required collagen density, producing strong 3D tissue-like models. This study aimed to measure the mechanical creep properties of such scaffolds and to quantify any enhanced creep occurring in the presence of cells (cell-mediated creep). The test...

The effect of molybdenum (Mo) on the microstructure and creep behavior of nominally Ti–24Al– 17Nb (at.%) alloys and their continuously reinforced SiCfiber composites (fiber volume fraction = 0.35) was investigated. Constant-load, tensile-creep experiments were performed in the stress range of 10–275 MPa at 650 C in air. A Ti–24Al–17Nb–2.3Mo (at.%) alloy exhibited significantly greater creep res...
