We study the thermodynamics of Kaluza-Klein black holes with momentum along the compact dimension, but vanishing angular momentum. These black holes are stationary, but non-rotating. We derive the first law for these spacetimes and find that the parameter conjugate to variations in the length of the compact direction is an effective tension, which generally differs from the ADM tension. For the...

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is an advanced fabrication technology for the rapid and efficient production of large-scale engineering structures. In order to design WAAM components a given loading condition, it essential characterize mechanical failure behavior parts. this study, performance ER100S-1 low carbon steel has been investigated by performing fatigue crack growth tests on com...

Fatigue crack growth in Al 2024 and 7050 specimens was assessed experimentally numerically. In the experimental investigation, various specimen configurations loading conditions were used to achieve pure mode I, II, mixed I/II, I/III, I/II/III. Sample as follows: first, compact tension shear (CTS) reproduce mode-I initial mode-II conditions; second, surface (SCT) analyze behavior of semiellipti...

The data published with this article are high resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) data obtained during an ex-situ fatigue test of a coupon test specimen made from a non-crimp fabric based glass fibre composite similar to those used for wind turbine blades. The fatigue test was interrupted four times for X-ray CT examination during the fatigue life of the considered specimen. All the X-ray...

The translaminar fracture toughness of laminated composites can be determined experimentally assuming either linear elastic mechanics (LEFM) or cohesive zone model (CZM) hypotheses. Each theoretical frame is different in terms complexity and predictive capabilities. To clarify the latter point, we derived R(Δa) J(ω) curves from a set published results on over-height compact tension specimens si...

We use molecular mechanics simulations with the tight-binding potential to study local and global instabilities in initially defect-free nanosize rectangular prismatic specimens of gold deformed in tension/ compression and simple tension/compression. Whereas in simple tension/compression atoms on end faces are constrained to move axially but are free to move laterally and the cross-sectional di...

The effect of the specimen (or component) thickness has been shown to have a significant effect on closure behaviour and this seems to be related to the relative size of the plastic zone. Real cracks are inherently three-dimensional; plane stress-like behaviour is found close to the region where the crack front intersects the free surface, whereas most of the crack front will experience somethi...

The relationships between a resistance curve (R-curve), the corresponding fracture process zone length, the shape of the traction/displacement softening law, and the propagation of fracture are examined in the context of the through-the-thickness fracture of composite laminates. A procedure that accounts for R-curve toughening mechanisms by superposing bilinear cohesive elements is proposed. Si...

The engineering tension test is widely used to provide basic design information on the strength of materials and as an acceptance test for the specification of materials. In the tension test a specimen is subjected to a continually increasing uniaxial tensile force while simultaneous observations are made of the elongation of the specimen. The parameters, which are used to describe the stress-s...
