The deformation and failure behavior of an AM60 magnesium alloy was investigated using tensile test on circumferentially notched specimens with different notch radii. The strain and stress triaxiality corresponding to the failure point were evaluated using both analytical and finite element analyses. Combining with systematical observations of the fracture surfaces, it is concluded that deforma...

This study presents experimental results performed on samples of Eutectic solder material (63 wt. % Sn 37 wt. % Pb). The tests were performed at high strain rates using Split Hopkinson’s Pressure Bar (SHPB). The strain rates were in the range of 400s -1 to 1300s -1 . Heating unit was added to conventional SHPB to vary initial sample temperature conditions. Tests were conducted at room temperatu...

The use of short fiber reinforced polymers (SFRP) is increasing steadily in automotive and aerospace industry due to its mechanical properties and light weight. The mechanical and physical properties of SFRP depend on the geometrical characteristics of the reinforcing material. Under tensile stress various defects are induced in SFRP composites. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is a non-destruct...

This paper presents a part of development non-standard method for testing cylindrical test specimens measurement fracture properties pipeline materials. structures working under pressure is based on determining mechanics parameters SENT (Single Edge Notched Tension) and new PRNT (Pipe Ring specimens. In this work, both types required were manufactured from polyamide PA12 by using SLS (selective...
