In situ fracture study of a Cu/Al composite laminate was discussed via the observation of scanning electron microscope (SEM). The experimental test was carried out by a modified miniature tensile device. With the aid of the SEM’s sample stage and a wedge block, the profile morphology of the specimen was observed. The substrate layer (1060 aluminum) and the plate layer (C11000 copper) of the spe...

In this section, we want to model a surface with flaws. We model it as a line from which N parallel cracks progress into the 2D material (see Fig. 2). The ensemble of cracks is submitted to a remote mode I loading p∞ as sketched in Fig. 2, but, because of the interactions between the cracks, each crack i (i = 1, ...N) is submitted locally to both a normal traction pi(x) and a shear traction ti(x).

We have extended our earlier investigation of scattering from surface cracks. In particular, we have studied the change in the reflection coefficient of a Rayleigh wave incident on a half-penny shaped surface crack along with the corresponding change in the acoustic crack size estimates as the cracked sample is stressed to fracture. We have examined in this manner both cracks in annealed sample...

Although the material has developed micro-scale cracks, micro-cracks stop propagating and transform into non-propagating cracks (NPCs) under fatigue limit loading. The movement of crack tip position caused by will generate a small change in notch geometry, which easily triggers geometric size effect. Since critical distance method focuses on evaluating terms material’s cracking conditions, pres...

The paper presents the results of tests wear hardened wear-resistant steels in presence quartz, coal and coal-mineral abrasives a differentiated ratios each component case without abrasives. were carried out on ring-on-ring test stand. Volume loss was parameter used to characterize level. Based Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observations, different mechanisms surface destruction depending t...

The relationship between the crack nucleation and stress-induced martensitic transformation in the retained massive austenites (RM’s) of austempered ductile irons (ADIs) was examined in detail by carrying out tensile tests and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations for an ADI material. The SEM observations revealed that cracks were not nucleated in the peripheral regions of graphite no...

The present study evaluates the effect of a substrate’s silicon content on coatings’ morphology, structure, and properties in an electrolyte containing sodium tungstate Al–xSi alloys. PEO-coated samples demonstrated structure pancake crater with irregular micro-cracks micro-pores. incorporation element W coatings decreased surface roughness porosity due to increasing conductivity and, hence, de...

Volumetric images of small mortar cylinders under load are acquired by X-ray microtomography. The images are binarized at different threshold values, and the connected components are extracted at each threshold with a 3D spaceand time-efficient program. Statistics of volume and surface area of separated concrete segments and cracks are collected and analyzed. Under increasing load, the concrete...
