The aim of this study is to examine displacements, strains and stresses as well predict possible failure mechanisms arising at the yarn-matrix level a test specimen railway composite cord-rubber air brake tube undergoing uniaxial tension by microscale modelling.Furthermore, paper also aims verify material properties micromodel specimen.The based on macromodels (by matching boundary conditions m...

X-ray computed tomography (CT) systems with high resolution (also known as micro-CT systems) have been developed over the last two decades and have been used with great success in small animal studies. A micro-CT scanner is based on the same underlying physical principle as a clinical CT scanner, but it is designed for higher-resolution imaging. It produces three-dimensional (3D) tomographic da...

Results of initial investigation of thermomechanical couplings in innovative β-Ti alloy called Gum Metal subjected to tension are presented. The experimental set-up, consisting of testing machine and infrared camera, enabled to obtain stress-strain curves with high accuracy and correlate them to estimated temperature changes of the specimen during the deformation process. Both ultra-low elastic...
