Full textAbstract:
Ferroelectric materials continue to find increasing use in actuator, sensor and transducer design. Questions regarding lifetime and reliability remain a concern due to the inherent low fracture toughness and complex material behavior. The poling procedure required for use in actuator and sensing devices introduces anisotropy in elastic and dielectric coefficients as well as piezoelectric coupling between the mechanical and electrical fields. This introduces complex fracture behavior which necessitates advanced analytical techniques and fracture characterization.
In this dissertation, fracture mechanics of ferroelectric materials is evaluated by employing different analytical techniques and experimental methodology. The theoretical work has focused on linear piezoelectric coupling that accounts for the influence of anisotropy and heterogeneity on fracture. A new orthotropic rescaling technique is presented that explicitly solves the anisotropic linear elastic piezoelectric crack problem in terms of material coefficients. The effects of heterogeneities on electric field induced microfracture are analyzed by implementing a crack at the edge of a heterogeneous piezoelectric inclusion. A positive, flaw-localized driving force is realized when permeable crack face boundary conditions are considered.
The experimental portion of the work evaluates fracture behavior in the ferroelectric ceramic, lead zirconate titanate (PZT), and the ferroelectric relaxor single crystal PZN-4.5%PT. Relative humidity and electric boundary conditions are shown to have significant effects on crack kinetics in PZT. Fracture anisotropy in single crystal PZN-4.5%PT is characterized using the Single-Edge V-notch Beam (SEVNB) method and Vickers indentations. Scanning electron micrographs are used to determine the crack profile which leads to a prediction of crack tip toughness and local energy release rate. A weak cleavage plane is identified in the single crystal relaxor which contains a significantly lower toughness in comparison to the ferroelectric ceramic PZT.

<p>Impact craters are formed when a large meteorite or comethits the Earth. At the impact a shock wave is released causingabundant fracturing in the surrounding bedrock. This type offracturing is intense and occurs throughout a very large volume(>100 km<sup>3</sup>) of the bedrock. Fractures of this type have beenobserved in deep drilling, to 5 km depth, in thePuchezh-Katunki Impact Crater. At theses depths the ambienttemperature is high. Thus impact structures are candidates forpotential heat-exchange sources for extraction of geothermalenergy.</p><p>There is a relation between fracture intensity and electricresistivity in bedrock predominated by impact-generatedfractures. In crystalline bedrock changes in electricresistivity is mainly due to fracturing which is the mainsource of porosity in these rocks. Electric resistivity methodsare highly sensitivity to porosity. Furthermore highfracture-intensities have generally been associated with lowelectric resistivity. Electro-magnetic methods like Very LowFrequency Resistivity (VLF-R) and Magnetotellurics (MT) canindirectly measure electric resistivity to relatively largedepths in the bedrock.</p><p>This study will quantify the relationship between fractureintensity and electric resistivity which can be used as aprospecting tool for geothermal energy resources at largedepth.</p><p>To meet that end, a method for fracture mapping on outcropsin Swedish terrain and a method to calculate thethree-dimensional fracture frequency from two-dimensionalfracture data has been developed. The fracture traces measuredin two dimensions on outcrops are assumed to represent avertical surface and must be converted to a three-dimensionalmeasure of the fracture frequency per unit volume.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cyclic and torsional fatigue resistance of Nickel-Titanium rotary instruments manufactured by different thermal treatments. Were tested a total of 140 rotary instruments (n=20): Genius (GN size 25, .04 taper), Trushape (TS size 25, .06 taper), Logic (LOG size 25, .06 taper), Vortex Blue (VB size 25, .06 taper), ProTaper Gold (PTG size 25, .08 taper), Hyflex CM (HCM size 25, .06 taper) and Hyflex EDM (EDM size 25, .08 taper). Cyclic fatigue resistance testing was performed using an artificial stainless steel canal with a curvature (60° angle and 5- mm radius) located at 5 mm from the tip. The files (n=10) rotated until fracture and time was recorded in seconds. The torsional test evaluated the angular deflection and torque at failure of the instruments (n=10) at 3 mm from the tip according to ISO 3630- 1. The fractured surface of five instruments of each brand was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests, and the level of significance was set at 5%. The cyclic fatigue resistance value of EDM size 25, .08 taper was significantly higher than those of all instruments tested (P<0.05). The LOG size 25, .06 taper showed a higher cyclic fatigue resistance than those of GN size 25, .04 taper; TS size 25, .06 taper (P<0.05). There was no difference among the others groups. The torsional test showed that PTG size 25, .08 taper had the highest torsional strength value of all instruments tested followed by VB size 25, .06 taper and EDM size 25, .06 taper (P<0.05). The LOG size 25, .06 taper showed significant difference only with GN size 25, .04 taper (P<0.05). No difference was found among the others groups (P>0.05). In relation to angular deflection, the GN size 25, .04 taper; TS size 25, .06 taper; HCM size 25, .06 taper, and EDM size 25, .08 taper showed significantly higher values until fracture than the others groups (P<0.05). No difference was found among PTG size 25, .08 taper, LOG size 25, .06 taper, and VB size 25, .06 taper (P<0.05). The EDM size 25, .08 taper presented the highest cyclic fatigue resistance among all the tested instruments.

Full textAbstract:
Packages are the means of preservation, distribution and convenience of use for food, medicine and other consumer products. Package opening is becoming complicated in many cases because of cutting cost in design and production of opening techniques. Introduction of new package opening technique, material or geometry for better opening experience, forces new design measurements which require a large number of prototype developments and physical testing. In order to achieve more rapid and accurate design, Finite Element Method (FEM) Simulations are widely used in packaging industries to compliment and reduce the number of physical testing. The goal of this work is to develop the building blocks towards complete package opening simulation. The study focuses on testing and simulation of shear fracture and shear delamination of packaging materials. A modified shear test specimen was developed and optimized by finite element simulation. Test method was validated for High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP). The developed method has been accepted by international standards organization ASTM. Based on linear elastic fracture mechanics, a geometry correction factor of shear fracture toughness for the proposed specimen was derived. The study concluded that, for ease of opening, HDPE is a more favorable material for screw caps than PP. When performing the experiment with the shear specimen to find essential work of fracture, the ligament length should be varied between twice of the thickness and half of the width of the specimen ligament. Multi-layered thin laminate of Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and aluminum (Al), also known as Al/LDPE laminate, is another key object addressed in this study. Continuum and fracture testing of individual layers provided the base information and input for numerical modeling. The propagation of an interfacial pre-crack in lamination in Al-LDPE laminate was simulated using several numerical techniques available in the commercial FEM solver ABAQUS, and it was concluded that using the combination of VCCT technique to model the interfacial delamination and coupled elasto-plastic damage constitutive for Al and LDPE substrates can describe interfacial delamination and failure due to necking. It was also concluded that the delamination mode in a pre-crack tip is influenced by the ratio of fracture energy release rate of mode I and II. To address the challenge in quantifying shear energy release rate of laminate with very thin substrate, a convenient test technique is proposed. Additionally, scanning electron microscopic study provided useful information on fractured and delaminated surfaces and provided evidence that strengthened the conclusions of this work. The proposed test methods in this work will be crucial to measure the shear mechanical properties in bulk material and thin substrates. Laminates of Al and LDPE or similar material can be studied using the developed simulation technique which can be effectively used for decision support in early package development.

In the common design and certification process, a large number of experimental tests, going from small specimens to the full structure, are performed. In these tests, the environmental conditions, especially temperature and humidity, which the structural component will be submitted are considered. This multiplies the number of tests to be performed. With the aim of reducing the economic cost and the time needed for the design and the certification of components, numerical tools that allow a reduction of experimental tests and help in the analysis of results, are developed. In this framework, the present thesis tackles the topic of hygrothermal effects in composite materials in both fields: experimental tests and numerical tools. Specifically, the thesis focuses its attention on two analysis levels which are seldom present in the scientific literature: the optimization of structural components and the experimental characterization of the translaminar failure of the material, both considering environmental changes<br>En el proceso habitual de diseño y certificación de componentes aeronáuticos se realiza un elevado número de ensayos experimentales que van desde pequeñas probetas hasta la estructura final.

Previous issue date: 2006<br>Resumo: Fraturas por impacto e flexão ainda são os principais problemas relatados tanto pelos portadores de próteses removíveis como pelos cirurgiões dentistas. Na tentativa de solucionar esse problema, alterações na composição química das resinas acrílicas como a inclusão de co-polímeros, adição de agente de ligação cruzada e a incorporação de partículas de borracha na forma de butadieno estireno têm sido propostas. Entretanto, poucos estudos avaliaram a incorporação destes aditivos modificadores de impacto no processo de fratura, deformação e microestrutura de resinas acrílicas. Além disso, devido à fragilidade dos materiais poliméricos a presença de trincas e fraturas em base de
próteses removíveis ainda é alta e reparos são procedimentos comuns tanto por métodos diretos ou indiretos. Entretanto, as propriedades mecânicas de resinas acrílicas reparadas ainda não estão claramente descritas. Assim, os objetivos do presente trabalho foram: I) avaliar a resistência ao impacto e a flexão, bem como tensão de ruptura, módulo Young e deslocamento de escoamento de resinas acrílicas contendo modificadores de impacto e analisar sua microestrutura; II) determinar a resistência ao impacto e flexão de resinas acrílicas para base de prótese previamente fraturadas e reparadas com resinas fotopolimerizável, autopolimerizável e termopolimerizável. Como resultado, observou-se que a resina contendo borracha considerada de alto impacto, demonstrou alta capacidade de dissipação de energia, absorção de tensão e baixo percentual de deformação; entretanto exibiu processo de fratura frágil. Com relação às resinas utilizadas para reparo, concluiu-se que reparos realizados com a mesma resina usada para confecção dos corpos-de-prova, apresentaram melhores resultados quanto à resistência mecânica<br>Abstract: Fractures by impact and flexural action are the main problems described by denture users and dentists. Attempting to solve this problem, modifications on the chemical composition of the acrylic resins as co-polymer inclusion, cross linking agents addition and rubber particles incorporation in the form of butadiene styrene have been described as effective and worthwhile means to improve the impact strength and fracture propagation. However, literature lacks information regarding the incorporation of these modifying impact additives in the fracture process, plastic deformation and microstructure of acrylic resins. Furthermore, due to the brittleness of the polymeric materials, the presence of cracks and fractures in the removable prosthesis denture bases still remains high. Thus, frequent repairs are somewhat common procedures in the clinical practice, being by direct or indirect methods. Therefore, the effect of the repairs materials on the mechanical properties of acrylic resins is not clearly described yet. Front of these considerations, the purposes of the present study were: I) evaluate the impact and flexural strength, as well as, stress at yield, Young modulus and displacement at yield of acrylic resins containing impact modifiers and analyze their microstructure; II) determine the impact and flexural strength of denture base acrylic resins previously fractured and repaired with visible-light, auto and heat-polymerized acrylic resins. As results, it could be observed that the acrylic resin containing rubber particles, considered as the high impact, showed high capacity of energy dissipation and stress absorption before the fracture, lower percentage of deformation, however it exhibited brittle fracture process. Regarding to acrylic resins used as repair materials, it was concluded that repairs performed with the same resin used to fabricate the specimens showed the best results for mechanical resistance<br>Doutorado<br>Protese Dental<br>Doutor em Clínica Odontológica

Full textAbstract:
Utmattningsbrott är ett återkommande problem som uppstår i borrkronor. Atlas Copco Secoroc har tidigare gjort utmattningsprovningar på fyra serier provstavar. Serierna skiljer sig från varandra på så sätt att stålet är hårt respektive mjukt härdat. Det hårdhärdade stålet är indelat i två serier. På den ena har dragprovsutmattning utförts och på den andra roterande-böj utmattning. Det samma gäller för det mjukhärdade stålet. De brottytor som uppstått vid brott av dessa provningar har undersökts, brottsförskjutningen har mätts och brottytan har analyserats med SEM. Om en icke-metallisk inneslutning (slagg) hittats som startpunkt har fyra saker undersökts. Den största diametern för inneslutningen, hur långt från ytan av staven slaggen påträffats, vilka grundämnen som inneslutningen innehåller och hur dessa grundämnen ligger i inneslutningen. För att undersöka grundämnen i inneslutningen har EDS-analys använts och för att se grundämnens fördelning har EDS-mappning använts. På grund av den begränsade tiden till detta projekt har enbart tre av de fyra provstavsserierna undersökts. Datan som har tagits fram genom undersökningarna har jämförts med data från uppdragsgivaren för att hitta samband. Nedan följer några av de slutsatser som hittades med hjälp av denna undersökning: Den kemiska sammansättningen i inneslutningarna var väldigt lika varandra. Ingen slagg skiljer sig markant från de andra. Av de inneslutningar och avtryck som observerats hade 95 % rundaktig form. Mindre inneslutningar är att föredra framför större. Anledningen är att stål med mindre inneslutningar klarade av en högre spänning och eller fler cykler innan brott sker. Inneslutningar som var i materialet hade mindre inverkan på stålets utmattningshållfasthet, än vad de på i ytan hade. Resultaten i denna undersökning har väldigt stor spridning. För att kunna dra säkra slutsatser behövs ett större underlag. Vidare utmattningsprovningar och analyser av brottytorna är att rekommendera.<br>Fatigue failures are a recurring problem for drill heads. Atlas Copco Secoroc has previously done fatigue failure tests on four series of sample bars. The sample bars had been hardened in two different ways. For the two first series, hardness has been increased so the material was harder, while for the other two series material was softer than the previous series. Fatigue failure tests have been done using two different methods, rotating bending fatigue and direct force fatigue testing. The fracture surface that occurred after the performed tests has been investigated. Fracture displacement has been measured. The fracture surface was examined with SEM. If a non-metallic inclusion is the starting point of the crack four different things were then investigated. The largest diameter of the inclusion, how far from the surface of the bar the slag is found, what kind of chemical elements it contains and how these elements are located through the inclusion. EDS-analysis were used to examine the chemical elements in the inclusion and EDS-mapping to see the location of the elements. Due to the limited time of this project three of the four sample bar series has been studied. The data that has been produced from these studies was then compared to the data from the costumer to find any connections. Below follows some of the conclusions that were found with the help of this study: The chemical compositions of the inclusions where very similar. No slags distinguish itself significantly from any other. 95% of the inclusions and imprints that has been observed where round shaped. Smaller inclusions are to be preferred to larger. The reason is that metal with smaller inclusions was able to cope with higher stress and or more cycles before fracture occurs. Inclusions that where found inside the material had less effect on the fatigue life for the steel then the ones on the surface. The results that has emerged from this study has a very wide distribution. To make reliable conclusions more data is needed for support. Further fatigue testing and analysis of fracture surfaces is recommended.

No. of bitstreams: 0<br>Neste trabalho foram determinadas as condições para a soldagem de chapas grossas de aço carbono ASTM A36 com aço baixo-liga temperado e revenido ASTM A514 Grau Q empregando-se o processo arame tubular. Para tanto foram soldadas diversas peças de testes com o intuito de se avaliar as condições mais adequadas de preparação e soldagem de juntas dissimilares destes materiais. A preparação foi realizada por meio de corte térmico. A temperatura de preaquecimento foi determinada através de modelos matemáticos, pelas recomendações das normas AWS D1.1 e DIN EN 1011-2 sendo posteriormente avaliada por intermédio do teste de soldabilidade tipo CTS Controlled Thermal Severity. Os parâmetros de soldagem foram determinados a partir da qualificação de um procedimento de soldagem, conforme a norma AWS D1.1. Foram avaliadas as consequências do emprego do tratamento térmico de alívio de tensões após soldagem (TTAT), pelos testes de dureza Vickers e impacto Charpy. A caracterização microestrutural foi realizada por meio de microscopia óptica e microscopia eletrônica de varredura. A caracterização das superfícies oxicortadas evidenciou os efeitos da descarbonetação e também da carbonetação. A temperatura de pré-aquecimento de 160°C determinada por meio da metodologia recomendada pelas normas AWS D1.1 e DIN EN 1011-2 mostrou-se satisfatória nos testes de soldabilidade. Foi possível a qualificação do procedimento de soldagem (EPS) com requisitos de impacto na condição \"como soldado\", porém na condição \"após TTAT\", os baixos valores de tenacidade obtidos no metal de solda, inferiores a 27J, não permitiram a qualificação de uma EPS com requisitos de impacto. Foi observada a ausência de trincas intergranulares tanto na zona afetada pelo calor quanto no metal de base ASTM A514, porém foi revelada a presença de microfases frágeis no metal de solda na condição \"como soldado\", especificamente na região da raiz, intensificadas pelo efeito da diluição. O aumento do teor de carbono na raiz, a presença de microfases frágeis, a grande fração de grãos colunares e de ferrita proeutetóide combinados com a baixa fração de ferrita acicular no metal de solda contribuíram para os baixos valores de tenacidade encontrados na condição \"como soldado\". Após o TTAT observou-se uma queda acentuada da tenacidade, inferior a 27J, do metal de solda devido à fragilização provocada pela precipitação e coalescimento de carbonetos de ferro.<br>Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear)<br>IPEN/D<br>Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

The interface between aggregate grains and matrix in cementitious composites is their weakest element. The topic is particularly significant in the case of high performance and high strength concrete technology for which the eliminination or reduction of these weak links are necessary. The aim of this thesis is to determine the influence of the interface on the fracture behaviour of the cementitious composites. The fracture experiments were performed for this purpose and were complemented by the nanoindentation’s results and scanning electron microscopy results. Numerical model was created in ANSYS software on the basis of these data and the fracture toughness values of the interface were evaluated by means of the generalized fracture mechanics principles. Conclusion of the thesis is proof that the interface properties have a significant influence on the fracture behaviour of cementitious composites.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de ce travail est de caractériser l’interaction entre le Lanréotide – un octapeptide dicationique – et des membranes composées de lipides. Bien que ce peptide soit très soluble, il possède des propriétés d’autoassemblage. Au-delà d’une concentration critique – qui est sensible à la température et à la force ionique – ce peptide s’auto-assemble en nanotubes dont la structure a été résolue par l’équipe. Ce travail de thèse comporte deux volets : d’une part l’étude de l’interaction entre le Lanréotide et des membranes anioniques, d’autre part l’étude de l’interaction entre le Lanréotide et des membranes neutres.Nous adoptons une approche structurale afin de caractériser les mélanges membrane-peptide : diffusion de rayons X, spectroscopie infrarouge (ATR-FTIR), microscopie électronique (coloration négative et cryofracture) ; ainsi qu’une approche quantitative (ultrafiltration et dosage) afin de déterminer la stœchiométrie des interactions. En présence de lipides anioniques, le Lanréotide interagit en totalité avec les membranes jusqu’à les saturer. Cette interaction, qui n’est pas abolie à forte force ionique (2M de NaCl ou de phosphate), provoque un autoassemblage du peptide à la surface des membranes. Ce phénomène génère des autoassemblages mixtes constitués d’un empilement de bicouches de peptide prises en sandwich entre des bicouches de lipides. Ces empilements s’enroulent selon une spirale d’Archimède, c’est-à-dire une spirale régulière dont le pas est constant. Dans ces assemblages mixtes le peptide est organisé dans un nouveau mode d’assemblage dont la structure est ici résolue.Dans le cas des mélanges membranes neutre-Lanréotide, un coefficient de partage du peptide entre l’eau et les lipides est mis en évidence. Ceci suggère que dans ces conditions le peptide peut traverser les membranes. Enfin l’interaction du Lanréotide avec ces membranes provoque une diminution de sa concentration critique d’assemblage<br>The aim of this work is to characterize the interaction between the Lanreotide – a dicationic octapeptide – and membranes composed of lipids. Even if the peptide is very soluble, it has self-assembling properties. Above the critical concentration – which is sensitive to both temperature and ionic strength – the peptide self-assembles into nanotubes whose structure has been solved by the team. The present work is divided into two parts: on one side the study of the interaction of the Lanreotide with anionic membranes, on the other one the study of the interaction of the Lanreotide with neutral membranes.We adopted a structural approach to characterize the membrane-peptide mixture: X-ray scattering, vibrational spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), electron microscopy (negative staining and freeze-fracture) ; we also used a quantitative approach (ultrafiltration and peptide quantification) in order to determine the stoichiometry of the interaction. In the presence of anionic lipids, the peptide interacts with membranes until its saturation. This interaction, which is not abolished at high ionic strength (2M NaCl or phosphate), induces the self-assembly of the peptide at the surface of the membrane. This phenomenon generates mixed self-assemblies composed of a stack of peptide bilayers sandwiched by lipids bilayers. These stacks wrap into an Archimedian spiral which is a regular spiral with a constant step. In these mixed assemblies, the peptide is organized in a new architecture compared to the self-assemble nanotubes. This new structure has been characterized and solved in this study.In the case of neutral membrane-Lanreotide mixture, the peptide partitions between water and lipids. This observation suggests that in this condition the peptide is able to cross the membranes. The peptide-membrane interaction also decreases the critical concentration of the peptide

Full textAbstract:
The demanding structural applications (e.g. aerospace, biomedical, etc.) require new materials with improved mechanical performance. The novel Ti-based dendrite + nano-/ultrafine-structured (Ti-based DNUS) composites exhibit an advantageous combination of high compressive strength (2000 – 2500 MPa) and large compressive ductility (10 – 30 %) already in the as-cast state [1,2] and, therefore, can be referred as high-performance materials. However, these Ti-based composites frequently exhibit very low or even lack of tensile ductility [3]. Therefore, the aim of this research work is to develop high strength Ti-based DNUS composites with pronounced tensile plasticity and to correlate the mechanical properties with their microstructure. In order to reach the goal, the high-strength Ti66Nb13Cu8Ni6.8Al6.2 (at.%) alloy exhibiting large compressive ductility [4] was selected for the modification. The microstructure of Ti66Nb13Cu8Ni6.8Al6.2 is composed of two metallographic constituents including β-Ti dendrites and an interdendritic component. The β-Ti dendrites are enriched in Nb and, therefore, Nb is referred as “dendritic element” whereas the interdendritic component is enriched in Ni and Cu and, therefore, these are referred as “interdendritic elements”. To perform a systematic study of the “interdendritic elements” (Ni, Cu and Co) effect on microstructure, a number of alloys with different concentration and types of alloying elements (Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al, Ti-Nb-Co-Ni-Al, Ti-Nb-Cu-Co-Al and Ti-Nb-Ni(Co)-Al) were developed. It was shown that a higher concentration of the “interdendritic elements” in a composition within one alloy system corresponds to a higher volume fraction of the interdendritic component. Additionally, the crystal structure of the interdendritic phases is affected by type of the “interdendritic elements”. Since the most advanced applications (e.g. aerospace) require materials with high specific strengths, the new ductile Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al alloys were modified to reduce their density, i.e. the Nb was substituted by lighter V. As a result, a new family of Ti-V-Cu-Ni-Al alloys with improved specific strength compared to the Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al alloys was developed. Additionally, moduli of resilience of the Ti-V-Ni-Cu-Al alloys are superior when compared with those of the commercial Ti-based spring materials. The effect of microstructure on deformation of the newly developed alloys was studied through the in-situ microstructural analysis of samples at different strained states by means of scanning electron microscopy. To reveal the effect of the metallographic constituents on strength, the microhardness mapping of the new alloys was performed. Using the obtained empirical principles of microstructure adjustment, a new Ti68.8Nb13.6Co6Cu5.1Al6.5 (at.%) alloy with a large static toughness (superior to those of the recently developed Ti-based metallic glass composites) was developed. This large static toughness is due to both high strength and significant tensile plasticity. To study the effect of microstructure on tensile plasticity of Ti68.8Nb13.6Co6Cu5.1Al6.5 the in-situ microstructural analysis of samples at different strained states in the scanning electron microscope as well as the transmission electron microscopy studies were performed<br>Der erhöhte Anspruch an strukturelle Anwendungen (z.B. Luftfahrt, Biomedizin, etc.) verlangt neue Werkstoffe mit verbesserten mechanischen Leistungsfähigkeiten. Neuartige Ti-basierte dendritische nano-/ultrafeine Komposite (Ti-basierte DNUS Komposite) besitzen eine vorteilhafte Kombination von hoher Druckfestigkeit mit großer plastischer Verformbarkeit unter Druckbelastung bereits im Gusszustand [1,2] wodurch sie als hochleistungsfähige Werkstoffe angesehen werden. Jedoch besitzen diese Ti-basierte DNUS Komposite heufig eine stark verringerte oder gar keine Duktilität unter Zugbelastung [3]. Deswegen ist es das Ziel dieser Forschungsarbeit neue hochfeste Ti-basierte DNUS Komposite mit ausgeprägter Duktilität unter Zugbelastung zu entwickeln und die mechanischen Eingeschaften mit ihrer Mikrostruktur zu korrelieren. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen wurde die hochfeste Legierung Ti66Nb13Cu8Ni6.8Al6.2 (at.%) [4], die eine große plastische Verformbarkeit unter Druckbelastung aufweist, ausgewählt. Die Mikrostruktur von Ti66Nb13Cu8Ni6.8Al6.2 setzt sich aus zwei metallographischen Konstituenten, einschließlich β-Ti Dendriten und einer interdendritischen Komponente, zusammen. Die β-Ti Dendriten sind mit Nb angereichert, weswegen Nb als “dendritisches Element” bezeichnet wird, wohingegen die interdendritische Komponente mit Ni und Cu angereichert ist und deswegen diese als “interdendritische Elemente” bezeichnet werden. Um den Einfluss der “interdendritischen Elemente” (Ni, Cu and Co) auf die Mikrostruktur zu untersuchen wurden Legierungen mit verschiedenen Konzentrationen unterschiedlicher Legierungselemente (Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al, Ti-Nb-Co-Ni-Al, Ti-Nb-Cu-Co-Al and Ti-Nb-Ni(Co)-Al) entwickelt. Es wurde gezeigt, dass eine höhere Konzentration “interdendritischer Elemente” in einer bestimmten Zusammensetzung einem höheren Volumanteil der interdendritischen Komponente entspricht. Zusätzlich wird die Kristallstruktur der interdendritischen Phase sehr stark durch die “interdendritischen Elemente” beeinflusst. Da die meisten hoch entwickelten Anwendungen (z.B. Luftfahrt) gesteigerte spezifische Festigkeiten erforden, wurden die neuen duktilen Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al Legierungen modifiziert um ihre Dichte zu reduzieren, indem Nb durch das leichtere V ersetzt wurde. Als Ergebniss wurde eine neue Familie von Ti-V-Cu-Ni-Al Legierungen, mit im Vergleich zu Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al Legierungen verbesserten spezifischen Festigkeiten, entwickelt. Zusäzlich ist die elastische Formänderungsenergiedichte der neu entwickelten Legierungen höher verglichen mit kommerziellen Ti-basierten Federmaterialien. Der Effekt der Mikrostruktur auf das Verformungsverhalten der Legierungen wurde mittels in-situ mikrostruktureller Analysen verschiedener Verformungszustände im Rasterelektronenmikroskop untersucht. Um ein Einfluss der metallographischen Konstituenten auf die Festigkeit zu bestimmen wurden Mikrohärtekarten erstellt. Unter Verwendung der erhalten empirischen Prinzipen zur Einstellung der Mikrostruktur wurde eine neue Legierung Ti68.8Nb13.6Co6Cu5.1Al6.5 (at.%) mit hoher statischer Zähigkeit (besser als die der kürzlich entwickelten Ti-basierten gläsernen metallischen Kompositlegierungen) entwickelt. Diese hohe statische Zähigkeit wird sowohl durch die hohe Festigkeit als auch durch die ausgeprägte Plastizität unter Zugbelastung verursacht. Um den Einfluss der Mikrostruktur auf die Plastizität unter Zug zu untersuchen wurde Transmissionelektronmikroskopie sowie in-situ mikrostrukturelle Analysen verschiedener Verformungszustände im Rasterelektronmikroskop durchgefühlt

Les concentrations uraniferes qui font l'objet de ce travail sont des gites multifissures, de paragenese simple, quasi monometallique, ou l'uranium s'exprime sous forme d'oxydes. Elles se localisent aussi bien dans le socle que dans les sediments permo-carboniferes et recoupent meme localement le contact socle-couverture. Dans les deux principaux secteurs mineralises, bertholene et brousse-broquies sont decrites respectivement l'albitisation d'un socle orthogneissique et celle d'une serie permo-houillere. La repartition precise des zones albitisees montre qu'elles constituent en fait les racines d'un profil d'alteration triasique, fossilise sous la couverture secondaire. A bartholene, comme a brousse-broquies, les mineralisations uraniferes sont guidees par des fractures subverticales en extension, mais se localisent exclusivement au sein de facies prealablement albitises au trias. Leur mise en place est due a l'action de circulations ascendantes dont on peut preciser l'age (environ 170 ma, jurassique moyen) et la temperature (environ 150 degres c). Une alteration supergene fini-tertiaire a sub-actuelle affecte de plus ces mineralisations. Les gisements uraniferes du rouergue apparaissent dans leur quasi totalite "lies spatialement a une discordance" (ici d'age triasique). Leur etude peut, par comparaison, eclairer d'un jour nouveau la genese des grands gisements canadiens et australiens du proterozoique qui sont a l'origine de la definition de ce type

Full textAbstract:
Les lasers femtosecondes sont un outil efficace pour induire des modifications structurelles localisées en volume dans les matériaux diélectriques. Initialement transparents, les diélectriques ne commencent à absorber efficacement l’énergie laser que lorsque l’intensité excède le seuil de claquage optique du matériau. Cette propriété, couplée à une durée d’impulsion femtoseconde plus courte que les temps caractéristiques de relaxation de la matière, permet d’obtenir un dépôt d’énergie précis et localisé dans le volume irradié. Pour modéliser la formation de telles structures, un modèle thermo-élasto-plastique en géométrie 2D planaire, incluant la transition solide-liquide via un modèle de ramollissement, a été implémenté dans un code hydrodynamique lagrangien. Des études de la formation d’une cavité et de l’interaction de multiple cavités ont tout d’abord été réalisées en supposant un dépôt instantané d’énergie laser dans le volume d’une cible de silice fondue. La relaxation de la matière chauffée, portée à l’état de plasma dense, induit alors la propagation d’ondes de choc dans le solide froid environnant. Des déformations permanentes peuvent apparaître dans le matériau si la contrainte, induite par ces ondes, excède la limite élastique. Ces premières études ont notamment permis de comprendre et de décrire les différentes étapes de la formation de micro-structures, fortement corrélées au comportement élasto-plastique du solide environnante. De plus, en utilisant une loi de Weibull, tenant compte de la densité de défauts dans la matière, des probabilités de fractures dans le matériau ont été calculées. Dans un second temps, la structuration de la silice fondue par un faisceau de Bessel a été considérée. Un solveur de Maxwell 3D, couplé à une description fluide de la dynamique électronique, a été utilisé pour modéliser le dépôt d’énergie laser. Les résultats ont permis de comprendre comment s’établit le dépôt d’énergie et rendent compte des effets des différents processus d’ionisation sur les évolutions des profils de densité et d’énergie électronique. Des simulations thermo-élasto-plastiques ont ensuite étaient réalisées en utilisant le dépôt d’énergie calculé. Différents types de déformations induites dans la silice ont pu être mis en évidence en fonction de l’énergie et de la durée de l’impulsion incidente, en accord avec les observations expérimentales<br>Femtosecond laser pulses are an efficient tool to induce localized structural modifications in the bulk of dielectrics materials. The dielectrics, initially transparent, start to efficiently absorb the energy when the laser intensity exceeds the optical breakdown threshold of the material. This property, coupled to a femtosecond pulse duration smaller than the caracteristic relaxation times of matter, allows to induce a localized and accurate energy deposition in the irradiated volume. In order to model the formation of such structures, a 2D thermo-elasto-plastic model, including solid-liquid transitions through a softening model, has been implemented in a lagrangian hydrodynamic code. Studies on the formation of a single cavity and several interacting cavities have been firstly performed, assuming an instantaneous energy deposition in the bulk of fused silica. The relaxation of the heated matter, transformed to a warm dense plasma, induces shock waves in the surrounding cold solid. Permanent deformations may appear if the stress, induced by the waves, exceeds the yield strength of the material. This first study allowed to understand and describe the various steps of the micro-structures formation, which are strongly correlated to the elasto-plastic behavior of the surrounding solid. Furthermore, by using a Weibull’s law, accounting for defects density in the material, cracks probabilities have been predicted. Secondly, the structuration of fused silica by a Bessel beam has been considered. For that purpose, a 3D Maxwell solver coupled to a fluid description of the electron dynamics has been used to model the laser energy deposition. Results allow to understand how the energy deposition establishes and show the effects of the different ionization processes on the electron density and energy profiles. Then, thermo-elasto-plastic simulations have been carried out including the calculated energy deposition. Various kinds of induced deformations in fused silica have been obtained depending on the incident pulse energy and duration, which is in agreement with experimental observations

O objetivo desse trabalho foi desenvolver um compósito cerâmico de zircônia-grafeno para aplicação odontológica. Este estudo avaliou o efeito do pó de partida, concentração de grafeno e da temperatura de sinterização sobre as propriedades mecânicas (dureza e tenacidade à fratura) do compósito desenvolvido. Para isto foram sintetizados os pós de Y-TZP a partir de soluções de óxido-cloreto de zircônio e cloreto de ítrio na proporção desejada de 3mol% através da rota de co-precipitação em solução de hidróxido de amônio seguido por uma série de lavagens em água, etanol e butanol com posterior destilação azeotrópica, secagem, moagem e calcinação. O grafeno foi obtido a partir da exfoliação química de grafite pelo método de Hummers [40] modificado por Marcano [39], o que resultou em um gel acastanhado que foi submetido a lavagem por centrifugação, secagem e desaglomeração em almofariz de ágata, resultando, por fim, no óxido de grafeno. Uma segunda etapa foi o processo de redução química com ácido ascórbico para obtenção de óxido de grafeno reduzido, um pó de coloração escura que foi adicionado à Y-TZP para a obtenção do compósito nas diversas concentrações (em mol%) que foram estudadas: (0,01%, 0,05%, 0,10%, 0,50%, 1,00% e 2,00%). Os pós foram caracterizados por termogravimetria, difração de raios X e espectroscopia (FT-IR). Os espécimes foram confeccionados em matriz metálica cilíndrica e sinterizados em forno tubular em atmosfera inerte. Outros espécimes foram confeccionados em matriz de grafite de alta densidade e sinterizados por Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). Todas as amostras foram caracterizadas por meio de ensaios de densidade, dureza Vickers, tenacidade à fratura e microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Os maiores valores de densidade relativa foram observados para as amostras sinterizadas em SPS, sendo que se obteve valor de densidade relativa de 98,7 % para a concentração de 0,50% de grafeno e 98,4% para a Y-TZP pura. Por outro lado, o maior valor encontrado em sinterização em atmosfera a 1400°C sem a presença de H2 para Y-TZP pura foi da ordem de 96,76%. Os valores de dureza foram maiores nas amostras sinterizadas em SPS, no entanto a tenacidade à fratura mostrou não se alterar em função do conteúdo de grafeno. As fotomicrografias de MEV mostraram que houve uma variação de tamanho de grão de acordo com a presença do grafeno e do método de sinterização. De acordo com os resultados obtidos neste trabalho foi possível concluir que o processamento desenvolvido permitiu a criação de um compósito cerâmico zircônia-grafeno que pôde ser caracterizado por diversos métodos analíticos. A densidade teórica do compósito desenvolvido não foi alcançada por meio de nenhum dos métodos de sinterização utilizados (Tubular ou SPS) e nem variando-se a temperatura. Para espécimes sinterizados em atmosfera inerte, a maior temperatura de sinterização (1400°C) e a presença do gás H2 não melhorou a densificação. Além disso, esses espécimes tiveram aumento da dureza com o aumento da concentração de grafeno, entretanto, a sua tenacidade à fratura não foi afetada pelo teor de grafeno. Para espécimes sinterizados por meio de SPS, a temperatura de sinterização de 1350°C resultou em melhores valores de densificação. Além disso, para este tipo de sinterização, tanto a dureza como a tenacidade à fratura foram afetadas pelo teor de grafeno.<br>The objective of this work was to develop a zirconia-graphene ceramic composite for dental application. The study evaluated the effect of the starting powder effect, graphene concentration and sintering temperature on the mechanical properties of the composite. For this, the Y-TZP powders were synthesized from zirconium chloride and yttrium chloride solutions in the desired ratio of 3 mol% through the co-precipitation route in ammonium hydroxide solution followed by a series of washes in water, ethanol and butanol with subsequent azeotropic distillation, drying, grinding and calcination. Graphene was obtained from the chemical exfoliation of graphite by the method of Humans modified by Marcano, which resulted in a brownish gel that was subjected to washing by centrifugation, drying and deagglomeration in agate mortar, resulting finally in the graphene oxide. A second step was the chemical reduction with ascorbic acid to obtain reduced graphene oxide, a dark-colored powder that was added to the Y-TZP to obtain the composite in the various concentrations (in mol%) that were studied (0, 01%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.50%, 1.00% and 2.00%). The powders were characterized by thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy (FT-IR). The specimens were made in cylindrical metallic matrix and sintered in a tubular oven. Other samples were made in high density graphite matrix and sintered by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). All samples were characterized by means of density tests, Vickers hardness, fracture toughness and scanning electron microscopy. The highest values of relative density were observed for the sintered samples in SPS. A relative density of 98.7% was obtained for the 0.50% concentration of graphene and 98.4% for the pure Y-TZP. On the other hand, the highest value found in tubular sintering at 1400 ° C without the presence of H2 for pure Y-TZP was of the order of 96.76%. The hardness values were higher in the sintered samples in SPS, however the fracture toughness showed not to change as a function of the content of graphene. SEM images showed that there was a variation of grain size according to the presence of graphene and the sintering method. According to the results of this study it was concluded that the process developed allowed the creation of a graphene-zirconia ceramic composite which can be characterized by various analytical methods. The theoretical density of the composite developed was not achieved by any of the sintering methods used (tubular or SPS) nor by varying the temperature. For tubular sintered specimens, the higher sintering temperature (1400 ° C) and the presence of H2 gas did not improve densification. In addition, these specimens had increased hardness with increasing graphene concentration, however, their fracture toughness was not affected by graphene content. For sintered specimens by SPS, the sintering temperature of 1350 ° C resulted in better densification values. In addition, for this type of sintering, both hardness and fracture toughness were affected by the content of graphene

Full textAbstract:
The effect of individual and combined zirconium and manganese additions have been compared for an AA2198 6 mm thick sheet in T351 temper regarding their influence primarily on recrystallisation resistance and secondly on fracture toughness and overageing resistance. A complete characterisation of the dispersoid distributions was carried out for a deeper understanding of the effects of the Al3Zr and Al20Cu2Mn3 particles, involving studying their formation from the as-cast and homogenised stage.The most important finding in this work was the lower recrystallisation resistance in the alloy containing 0.1 wt%Zr + 0.3 wt%Mn compared to that containing only 0.1 wt%Zr. This result was rather unexpected, if one considers the opposite microsegregation patterns of Zr and Mn during casting, which leads to dispersoids occupying the majority of the grains’ volume and minimising dispersoid-free zones that could be potential sites for nucleation of recrystallisation. The other two alloys with dispersoid additions 0.05 wt%Zr + 0.3 wt%Mn and 0.4 wt%Mn, were partially and fully recrystallised respectively in the rolled T351 condition.Equally important in this work, was the observation that the opposite microsegregation trend of Zr and Mn sufficed to restrict grain growth in unrecrystallised areas. The 0.1Zr-0.3Mn alloy exhibited the lowest grain size of all alloys, both in the T351 temper and after annealing at 535oC for up to 144 hours. The reason for this was the combined action of Al20Cu2Mn3 dispersoids and Mn solute in the regions where the Zr concentration was low (i.e. near the grain boundaries), which offered additional pinning pressure to those areas compared to the 0.1Zr alloy.The lower recrystallisation resistance of the 0.1Zr-0.3Mn alloy was explained on the grounds of two main factors. The first was the lower subgrain size and hence stored energy within bands of Al20Cu2Mn3 dispersoids, which increased the driving force for recrystallisation in these regions. The second was the interaction between Zr and Mn that led to a decrease in the Al3Zr number density and pinning pressure. Since Zr was the dominant dispersoid family in terms of inhibiting recrystallisation, inevitably this alloy became more prone to recrystallisation. The Al3Zr pinning pressure was found to be much lower especially within bands of Al20Cu2Mn3 dispersoids. The detrimental effect of the Mn addition on the Al3Zr distribution was proven not to result from the dissolution of Zr within Mn-containing phases, and several other phases, at the grain interior and also in grain boundaries. The observed effect could not be precisely explained at this stage.Concerning mechanical properties, the 0.1Zr alloy exhibited the best combination of properties in the Kahn tear tests for fracture toughness. Further, it had a higher overageing resistance compared to the 0.1Zr-0.3Mn alloy.As an overall conclusion from this work, considering all the studied properties here that are essential for damage tolerant applications, the addition of 0.1 wt%Zr to the AA2198 6 mm thick sheet was found to be superior to that of the combined addition of 0.1 wt%Zr + 0.3 wt%Mn.

Previous issue date: 2013-09-20<br>The objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate the effect of the influence of the resin cement thickness (RCT) on bond strength (BS) and gap formation (GF) between glass fiber post (FP) and root dentin and 2) to evaluate the BS and fracture
resistance (FR) of restorative techniques for filling oversized root canals. In experiment 1, the roots of 24 mandibular premolars (n=8 per group) were endodontically treated. After one week, the post spaces were prepared depending on
the post adaptation inside the root canal, simulating an ideal adaptation (IdAd),medium adaptation (MeAd) and inadequate adaptation (InAd). All posts were cemented with Excite® DSC and Variolink® II. After a week of cementation, the RCT
and GF were measured with the Image Tool software version 3.0, and the BS by the push-out test. In experiment 2, the roots of 84 mandibular premolars were endodontically treated and, after a week, the conduits were prepared in order to
simulate an oversized root canal, except for the positive control group (PC), which was cemented one prefabricated fiber post (PFP) with the diameter compatible with the conduit. In the other oversized root canals, alternative restorative techniques for filling root canals were tested: NC - negative control (PFP with a smaller diameter than of the root canal), PA - PFP + accessory posts, DAP – direct anatomical post,IAP – indirect anatomical post and RR – root reinforcement with composite resin. All posts were cemented with the same adhesive system and resin cement. After indirect composite crowns cementation, the teeth were submitted to mechanical fatigue (1.2 X 106 cycles, 40 N) before the push-out BS test (n=8) and the FR test (n=6). The data of experiments 1 and 2 were analyzed by ANOVA and paired test (α=0.05). The experiment 1 showed that the smaller RCT resulted in better fiber post adhesion, that
is, higher BS and lower GF. The experiment 2 showed that the use of direct and indirect anatomical posts resulted in the best performance both in BS and FR tests,and must be the first choice for FP cementation in flared roots with oversized root
canals. Therefore, we concluded that the post adaptation to root canal affected significantly its retention. The better the post adaptation, the better the laboratory results. However, in the absence of this ideal condition, the use of direct and indirect
anatomic posts should be the first choice for restoring flared root canals.<br>Os objetivos deste estudo foram 1) avaliar o efeito da influência da espessura de cimento resinoso (ECR) na resistência de união (RU) e na formação de gaps (FG) entre pino de fibra de vidro (PFV) e dentina radicular e 2) avaliar a RU e resistência
à fratura (RF) de técnicas restauradoras para preenchimento de canais radiculares excessivamente alargados. No experimento 1, as raízes de 24 pré-molares inferiores (n=8 por grupo) foram tratadas endodonticamente. Após uma semana, os condutos
foram preparados em função da adaptação do pino no canal radicular, simulando uma adaptação ideal (AdId), média (AdMe) e inadequada (AdIn). Todos os pinos foram cimentados com Excite® DSC e Variolink® II. Uma semana após a cimentação,
a ECR e a FG foram mensuradas com o software Image Tool versão 3.0 e a RU por meio do teste de push-out. No experimento 2, as raízes de 84 pré-molares inferiores
foram tratadas endodonticamente e, após uma semana, realizou-se o preparo dos condutos, de maneira a simular um canal radicular excessivamente alargado, com exceção do grupo controle positivo (GCP), em que foi cimentado um pino préfabricado (PPF) com calibre compatível ao diâmetro do conduto. Nos outros condutos alargados, técnicas restauradoras alternativas de preenchimento dos canais radiculares foram empregadas: GCN – grupo controle negativo (PPF de diâmetro inferior ao conduto), GPA – PPF + pinos acessórios, GAD – pino anatômico direto, GAI – pino anatômico indireto e GRR – reforço radicular com resina composta
+ PPF. Todos os pinos foram cimentados com o mesmo sistema adesivo e cimento resinoso. Após cimentação de coroas de resina indireta, os dentes foram submetidos à fadiga mecânica (1,2 x 106 ciclos, 40 N) antes de realizar o teste de RU (n=8) e de RF (n=6). Os dados do experimento 1 e 2 foram analisados por ANOVA e teste pareado (α=0,05). O experimento 1 mostrou que quanto menor a ECR melhor a adesão dos PFV, ou seja, maior a RU e menor a FG. O experimento 2 mostrou que
o uso de pinos anatômicos diretos e indiretos mostrou o melhor desempenho nos testes de RU e RF, e deve ser primeira opção para cimentação de PFV em canais radiculares alargados. Portanto, foi evidenciado que a adaptação do pino ao conduto
radicular influenciou significativamente na retenção dos mesmos; quanto mais justa,melhores resultados laboratoriais. Entretanto, na ausência desta condição ideal, o uso de pinos anatômicos diretos e indiretos pode ser a primeira escolha do clínico para tratamento de canais excessivamente alargados.

Full textAbstract:
Icing has since long been identified as a serious issue in the aeronautical world. Ice build up, due to the presence of supercooled water droplets in clouds, leads to degradation of aerodynamic and/or air intake performances, among other undesirable consequences. Hence aircraft manufacturers must comply with certifications and regulations regarding flight safety in icing conditions. In order to do so, ice protection systems are used. Due to the multi-physical context within which these systems operate, numerical simulation can be a valuable asset. The present work deals with the numerical modelling of electro-thermal ice protection systems. It is built around the development of three modules. Two of them are dedicated to modelling heat transfer in the system and in the ice block. The other one models the mechanical behaviour of ice and fracture. Hence, the mechanical properties of atmospheric ice are reviewed in order to identify some mechanical parameters relevant to the fracture model. The fracture mechanics numerical method is used to investigate possible ice shedding mechanisms, that is to say the mechanisms leading to the detachement of ice, which are not yet well understood. The final goal of this work is to propose a completely coupled 2nd generation simulation methodology for electro-thermal ice protection systems. Hence the feasibility of a coupled thermal computation with ice shedding prediction based on the developed modules is shown<br>Le givrage a depuis longtemps été identifié comme une problématique sérieuse dans le monde aéronautique.L’accrétion de givre, due à la présence de gouttelettes d’eau surfondue dans les nuages, dégrade les performances aérodynamiques et le rendement des entrées d’air parmi d’autres conséquences néfastes. Ainsi, les avionneurs sont sujets à des règles de certifications concernant la capacité à voler en conditions givrantes. Pour se faire, des systèmes de protection contre le givre sont utilisés. En raison de la complexité des phénomènes physiques mis en jeux, la simulation numérique constitue un atout lors de la phase de conception. Ce travail de thèse porte sur la modélisation et la simulation numérique des systèmes électrothermiques de protection contre le givre. Il s’articule autour de trois approches de modélisation, qui ont donné lieu au développement de trois modules. Deux d’entre eux sont dédiés à la simulation du transfert de chaleur dans le système et dans la glace (changement de phase). Le troisième est lié à la modélisation du comportement mécanique du givre atmosphérique avec fissuration. Ainsi, les propriétés mécaniques du givre atmosphérique sont revues de façon à pouvoir identifier les paramètres intervenant dans le modèle de fissuration. Ce modèle est ensuite utilisé pour étudier les mécanismes possibles de détachement du givre, qui ne sont à l’heure actuelle pas encore bien compris. Le but final de ce travail est de proposer une méthodologie de simulation couplée pour les systèmes électrothermiques de protection contre le givre. Ainsi, la faisabilité d’un calcul couplé thermique-fissuration avec prédiction de détachement de givre est présentée

Cette thèse est dédiée à la caractérisation de la déformation plastique sévère et des évolutions de la microstructure engendrées dans les rails en service, conduisant à leur fissuration par Fatigue de Contact de Roulement. L’amorçage de ces fissures en surface et leur propagation en profondeur mettent en jeu des phénomènes à l’échelle de la microstructure qui peuvent entrainer à l’échelle macroscopique des écaillages de surface ou même conduire à des ruptures brutales de rails en cours de fonctionnement. Pour améliorer la compréhension de ces différents phénomènes en sous surface, une méthodologie expérimentale multi-échelles et multi-techniques a été conduite sur des rails prélevés en cours de service. Dans un premier temps, la présence d’un gradient tridimensionnel de microstructure, de cristallographie et de propriétés mécaniques engendré par les contacts répétés avec les roues a été mise en évidence dans la tête du rail au cours de son fonctionnement. Par le biais d’une campagne de prélèvement de rails en circulation à différents chargements, les stades de mise en place de ces gradients et la déformation plastique accumulée dans la tête de rail ont ensuite pu être évalués, de même que leurs évolutions par rapport aux passages des roues sur le rail et au développement des fissures. Cette étude contribue ainsi à une meilleure appréhension des mécanismes d’endommagement en fatigue de contact de roulement des rails en fonctionnement et pourra fournir une base de données solide pour les travaux à venir dans le domaine<br>This work is dedicated to the characterization of severe plastic deformation and microstructure evolution induced in rails in service, leading to cracks initiation by Rolling Contact Fatigue. Initiation of these surface cracks and in-depth propagation involve several phenomena at the microstructure scale which can lead to surface spalling at the macroscopic scale or even to brutal failure of the rail during its service. To improve understanding of these various phenomena beneath the rail surface, an experimental, multi-scales and multi-techniques methodology has been followed on rails removed from service. In the first part of results, the presence of a three-dimensional gradient of microstructure, of crystallography and of mechanical properties induced by the repeated contacts with wheels has been highlighted in a rail head during its service. Then, by means of a field analysis campaign of rails removed from service at several accumulated loads, the different stages of in-depth gradients development and plastic deformation accumulated in the rail head have been estimated in relation with total accumulated tonnage and cracks initiation. This study contributes to improve the understanding of the damage mechanisms in rolling contact fatigue of rails in service and the modeling of rail plasticity and crack propagation by including anisotropy of the running band and effect of in-depth microstructure evolution

Sets of natural opening-mode fractures in sedimentary rocks may show a variety of types of aperture-size distributions. A frequently documented size distribution type, in the literature and in data presented here, is the power law. The emergence of power-law distributions of fracture aperture and length sizes has been simulated using various quasi-mechanical fracture-growth routines but models based on linear-elastic fracture mechanics rarely produce such patterns. I collected a fracture-size dataset of unprecedented size and resolution using core and field methods and scanning electron microscope-based cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) images. This dataset confirms the prevalence of power laws with a narrow range of power-law exponents among fractures that contain synkinematic cement. Organized microfractures are ubiquitous in sandstones. A fracture-growth simulation I devised reproduces observed size-scaling patterns by distributing fracture-opening increments among actively growing fractures. The simulated opening increments have a uniform size, which can be specified; uniform opening size is consistent with observations of narrow ranges of micron-scale widths of opening increments within crack-seal texture in natural fractures. Thus power-law size scaling of natural fractures can be explained using non-power-law (uniform-sized) opening increments, arranged using rules designed to simulate the effects of cement precipitation during fracture opening. A fundamental shortcoming of previous models of fracture-set evolution is the absence of a test because only natural fracture end states, not growth histories, could be measured. Using a technique to constrain fracture timing based on fluid inclusion microthermometry and thermal history modeling, I tested growth models by reconstructing the opening history of a set of natural fractures in the Triassic El Alamar Formation in northeast Mexico. The natural-fracture data show that, consistent with simulations, new microscopic fractures are continually introduced during natural fracture pattern evolution. As well, larger fractures represent sites of concentrated reactivation, although smaller fractures may be reactivated after long periods of quiescence. The pattern likely arises through feedback between fracture growth and the mechanically adhesive effects of contemporaneous fracture cement deposition. The narrow range in power-law exponents documented among fractures can help improve estimates of meter-scale large-fracture spacing where limited fracture samples are available.<br>text

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, the fracture toughening behavior of ferroelectric materials under different electromechanical loading conditions is predicted and compared to available experimental observations. A multi-axial, electromechanically coupled, incremental phenomenological constitutive model for ferroelectric ceramics is developed first. The constitutive model is then implemented within the finite element method to study the effects of electric field on the Mode I steady crack growth under plane stress and plane strain conditions.
Toughening behaviors of electrically permeable cracks are simulated on both initially unpoled and poled materials with electric field applied in-plane or parallel to the crack front. The finite element results give detailed electromechanical fields, remanent strain and remanent polarization distributions, domain switching zone shapes and sizes, and the crack tip energy release rate. It is shown that the toughening is related to the size of the concentrated switching zone that is confined to a small region around the crack tip. The model predicts a range of phenomena that indicate that the toughening is dependent on both the level of electric filed applied and on the polarization state. In addition to the effects of electric field, the effects of the plane-stress constraint and transverse stress are also established in the out-of-plane poled cases.
In a similar manner to the electrically permeable cracks, the crack growth simulations for electrically conducting crack face boundary conditions are also performed. The results predict the toughening variations under combined electromechanical loadings for poled or unpoled materials. The electromechanical fields from the finite element results are used to determine the stress and electric field intensity factors around the crack tip.
The favorable comparison of the present model to the experimental observations suggest that ferroelectric switching behavior is more accurately modeled with an incremental plasticity formulation, rather than as an unstable phase transformation. The nonlinear studies of this dissertation not only explain most available experimental phenomena but also enhance the understanding of the nature of fracture in ferroelectric ceramics.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>機械工程學系碩博士班<br>94<br>In this studying, the fracture problem of an arbitrarily oriented crack in a magnetoelectroelastic solid has been analyzed by using the energy density theory. The solution for the energy density factor S is modified to include the stress intensity factors, the electric displacement intensity factor(or the electrical field intensity factor) and the magnetic induction intensity factor(or the magnetic field intensity factor). The driving force and crack growth are also found to be significantly influenced by the polarization direction. Change in the directions of the applied magnetic and electric fields may influence the character of crack growth which could be enhanced or retarded. The ratios R and V are used as the parameters to judge the significance of mechanical load, electric field or magnetic field.

Full textAbstract:
博士<br>國立成功大學<br>機械工程學系碩博士班<br>93<br>This paper contains two parts. The first part is to study the fracture problem of a bimaterial magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composite wedge containing an interface impermeable crack under antiplane shear and inplane electric and magnetic loads. After employing the Mellin transform and residue theorem, the governing equations are reduced to a system of singular integral equations. The antiplane magneto-electro-elastic field inside a circular region between the crack tips is obtained. It is found that the fields of stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction are uncoupled and are independent of material properties. This result is based on the assumption of the impermeable crack and the symmetry of structure geometry and boundary conditions.
To prove the superior of the energy density theory to the energy release rate theory, the problem of a single MEE wedge containing a radial internal crack located at the symmetric axis is considered. A negative energy release rate near the crack tip is obtained and cannot be used to predict the fracture propagation.
In order to apply the energy density theory, the energy density factors at the crack tips in each material are computed from the intensity factors of stress, strain, electric displacement, electric field, magnetic induction and magnetic field. The energy density factors are independent of the local coordinate q1 defined at the crack tips. It means that the crack may extend along any direction depending on the fracture toughness of the materials near the crack tip. For further investigations, the variations of the energy density factors with the wedge angles and the external loads applied on the wedge edges are plotted graphically. The results show that the change in directions of the magnetic field and electric field will significantly affect the energy distribution near the crack tips. If these two directions are opposite, the crack driving forces are enhanced to extend the cracks.
The second part of this paper is to analyze the singularity behavior of a bimaterial MEE composite wedge. Using the Mellin transform, the characteristic equations of eigenvalues are derived analytically. The antiplane singularity orders are then obtained numerically under the combinations of different material properties and wedge angles. The results show that the singularities become stronger when the difference between the BaTiO3 volume fractions of both materials is larger. Also, the conditions for vanishing singularities can be determined if the material properties and wedge angles are selected properly.
All results of this paper can be degenerated to the piezoelectric or elastic problems.

Full textAbstract:
Low temperature cleavage fracture behaviour was investigated using four experimental microalloyed bainitic plate steels. The four plate samples were produced by different thermomechanical processing (TMP) schedules and had yield strengths in the range 540 - 670 MPa.
Microstructures were characterized by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD). Quantitative data was obtained for prior austenite grain (PAG) size, volume fractions of two bainite types (conventional bainite and acicular ferrite) and EBSD 15° domain size. Charpy impact tests (using two notch orientations) were carried out over a range of temperatures. Cleavage facet sizes were measured on -196°C Charpy samples.
The range of TMP schedules produced variations in PAG width, type of bainite and 15° domain size. The effects of these three microstructural features on cleavage crack propagation are discussed. Results indicate that the microstructures are controlled by i) deformation below TNR and ii) accelerated cooling rate. Domain structure reflects TMP. There is no clear correlation between domain size and cleavage facet size.<br>Thesis (Master, Mechanical and Materials Engineering) -- Queen's University, 2009-07-30 19:17:01.25

Full textAbstract:
The development of high powered electro-magnetic devices has generated interest in the effect of combined electromagnetic and mechanical loading of such structures. Materials used in high-current applications – aluminum alloys and copper – are subjected to heat pulses of short duration (in the range of a few hundred microseconds to a few milliseconds); immediately following or along with such heat pulses, these materials are also subjected to large mechanical forces. In previous work reported in the literature, ejection of material from the vicinity of preexisting defects such as cracks, notches or discontinuities have been observed resulting from short-duration high-intensity current pulses; after a series of pulses, permanent deformation and weakening of intact material has also been reported. But a lack of complete understanding of the effects of short duration current pulses hinders the assessment of the reliability of such conductors in high energy applications. Therefore, an investigation was undertaken to examine the behavior of electromagnetically and mechanically loaded conductors. This work investigates the effects of short-duration, high-current-density pulses in combination with

mechanical loading. The aim is to develop a theoretical model to describe the resulting mechanical response. The model is to provide a characterization of the possible effects of thermally-induced plastic strains on metals loaded beyond or just below their yield strength or below the critical stress intensity factor.
In the experiments reported here, two types of specimens, undamaged and damaged, were subjected to combined electromechanical loads. Undamaged specimens were used to observe thermally-induced plastic strains - strains not caused by an increase in mechanical loading, but rather resulting from the reduction of yield strength and post-yield stiffness due to the increase in temperature. The experiments were conducted such that it would be possible to develop a model that would conclusively account for the observed material behavior. The second sets of specimens were weakened a priori by the introduction of a crack in order to study the influence of such crack-like defects on the electrical and mechanical fields, and to produce a safe design envelope with respect to the loading conditions. Failure was found to occur due to melting triggered by joule heating; a quantitative criterion based on current concentration and heat accumulation near the crack tip has been developed based on these experimental results.<br>text

<p>Spall velocities were measured for nine experimental impacts into San Marcos
gabbro targets. Impact velocities ranged from 1 to 6.5 km/sec. Projectiles were iron,
aluminum, lead, and basalt of varying sizes. The projectile masses ranged from a 4 g
lead bullet to a 0.04 g aluminum sphere. The velocities of fragments were measured
from high-speed films taken of the events. The maximum spall velocity observed
was 30 m/sec, or 0.56 percent of the 5.4 km/sec impact velocity. The measured
velocities were compared to the spall velocities predicted by the spallation model of
Melosh (1984). The compatibility between the spallation model for large planetary
impacts and the results of these small scale experiments are considered in detail.</p>
<p>The targets were also bisected to observe the pattern of internal fractures. A
series of fractures were observed, whose location coincided with the boundary between
rock subjected to the peak shock compression and a theoretical "near surface zone"
predicted by the spallation model. Thus, between this boundary and the free surface,
the target material should receive reduced levels of compressive stress as compared
to the more highly shocked region below.</p>
<p>PAPER 2.</p>
<p>Carbonate samples from the nuclear explosion crater, OAK, and a terrestrial
impact crater, Meteor Crater, were analyzed for shock damage using electron para-
magnetic resonance, EPR. The first series of samples for OAK Crater were obtained
from six boreholes within the crater, and the second series were ejecta samples recovered
from the crater floor. The degree of shock damage in the carbonate material was
assessed by comparing the sample spectra to spectra of Solenhofen limestone, which
had been shocked to known pressures.</p>
<p>The results of the OAK borehole analysis have identified a thin zone of highly
shocked carbonate material underneath the crater floor. This zone has a maximum
depth of approximately 200 ft below sea floor at the ground zero borehole and decreases
in depth towards the crater rim. A layer of highly shocked material is also
found on the surface in the vicinity of the reference bolehole, located outside the
crater. This material could represent a fallout layer. The ejecta samples have experienced
a range of shock pressures.</p>
<p>It was also demonstrated that the EPR technique is feasible for the study of
terrestrial impact craters formed in carbonate bedrock. The results for the Meteor
Crater analysis suggest a slight degree of shock damage present in the β member of
the Kaibab Formation exposed in the crater walls.</p>

The mechanical behavior of a high pressure die cast AM60B Mg alloy is studied. Constant load amplitude fatigue tests were conducted at room, elevated and cold temperatures, with a stress ratio of R=0.1, and frequency of 30 Hz. The objective was to identify the possible effects of temperature on fatigue life cycle. In addition, fatigue crack propagation tests were conducted to ascertain the fatigue response of the alloy and determine its fatigue crack growth rate as a function of the applied stress ratio, experimentally, analytically and computationally, using Walker’s model. The results demonstrated that temperature had a significant influence on the fatigue life, and that the life increased at cold temperature but decreased at elevated temperature as compared to that evaluated at room temperature. In this study, the limit for applicability of LEFM was established for AM60B magnesium alloy. In addition, fatigue crack propagation test results were used to evaluate the coefficients of the Paris model.

Full textAbstract:
Discrete (mm- to m-scale) mylonitic shear zones in the northeastern Harquahala metamorphic core complex, Arizona, show evidence of fluid-mineral interactions catalyzing deformation and metamorphism. Many contain a deformed central epidote vein with adjacent bleached haloes and flanking paired shear zones that indicate significant fluid-rock interaction during deformation. An integration of structural and geochemical methods was employed to understand timing, metamorphic conditions, and physiochemical processes responsible for producing the discrete shear zones. Field and microstructural evidence suggest the zones initiated on antecedent fractures. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analyses show a significant coaxial contribution to the shear, and quartz deformation predominately by prism <a> slip, along with some rhomb <a> slip, suggesting amphibolite-facies conditions during shearing. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy analyses of quartz reveal higher water contents within shear zones than within country rocks, indicating fluid infiltration synchronous with shearing. Stable isotope analyses of quartz and feldspar from mylonites are consistent with an igneous or metamorphic fluid origin. Microstructural observations suggest that the zone morphology with epidote veins, bleached haloes, and flanking discrete paired shear zones was developed predominantly from reaction softening mechanisms. The increase in deformation from bleached rock to flanking shear zones is marked by progressive modal increases in biotite and myrmekite, and modal decreases in K-feldspar, and locally epidote and titanite. Myrmekitic textures recrystallized readily and resulted in progressively greater grain size reduction of feldspar, which aided in the progressive alignment and linkage of the biotite grains, which together concentrated the deformation in bands. Volume reduction resulting from some of the metamorphic reactions may have led to a positive feedback cycle among fluid infiltration, metamorphism and deformation. U-Pb isotope analyses of syn-metamorphic titanite yield an age of ~70 Ma, suggesting the shear zones formed during cooling of the Late Cretaceous (75.5±1.3 Ma) Brown’s Canyon pluton, consistent with their top-to-the-southwest sense of shear, rather than during top-to-the-northeast directed Miocene metamorphic core complex exhumation. Petrography, EBSD analyses, and U-Pb dating of titanite from other (non-discrete) mylonites in the area imply most formed synchronously with the discrete shear zone mylonites. Only rare, scattered mylonites show features consistent with metamorphic core complex exhumation.<br>text

The present Cu45Zr45Al5Ag5 BMG was found to have the highest fatigue-endurance limit for BMGs reported to date. Fracture under cyclic compression occurred in a pure shear mode. In addition to many shear bands and cracks, areas of “chipping” were commonly found on the outside surfaces of the fatigue specimens. Crack growth rates were found decrease with cycles.
The effects of the as-cast specimen size, cooling rate, and the free volume content on the monotonic and cyclic compression behavior of a Zr-based BMG was investigated. The smaller samples experienced a faster cooling rate, resulting in a higher free volume content. The smaller samples displayed superior monotonic compression and cyclic compression properties. This trend was attributed to a higher free volume content.
The effect of the sample aspect ratio (height/diameter) on the cyclic compression behavior of a Zr-based BMG was explored. For smaller aspect ratios (0.5), the yield strength and compressive plastic strain significantly increased when compared to that for an aspect ratio of 2. In general, when the aspect ratio was 0.5, the fatigue lives were longer than when the aspect ratio was 2. The dramatic effect of the sample aspect ratio was attributed to the development of a hydrostatic stress state from the interaction of the uniaxial applied load and the friction stress developed at the interface of the top and bottom specimen surfaces and the platens.
The stress-life fatigue behavior and fracture morphology of a (Cu60Zr30Ti10)99Sn1 BMG alloy was investigated under both 3-point and 4-point bending conditions. For all stress levels tested, the fatigue lifetimes tended to be higher for the 3-point loading condition. All fracture surfaces were found to be comprised of four main regions: a crack-initiation site, a stable crack-growth region, an unstable fast-fracture region, and a melting region. Finely spaced parallel marks oriented somewhat perpendicular to the direction of crack propagation were observed in the stable crack-growth region. Analyses of these marks found that their spacing increased with increasing stress intensity- factor range.

The demanding structural applications (e.g. aerospace, biomedical, etc.) require new materials with improved mechanical performance. The novel Ti-based dendrite + nano-/ultrafine-structured (Ti-based DNUS) composites exhibit an advantageous combination of high compressive strength (2000 – 2500 MPa) and large compressive ductility (10 – 30 %) already in the as-cast state [1,2] and, therefore, can be referred as high-performance materials. However, these Ti-based composites frequently exhibit very low or even lack of tensile ductility [3].
Therefore, the aim of this research work is to develop high strength Ti-based DNUS composites with pronounced tensile plasticity and to correlate the mechanical properties with their microstructure.
In order to reach the goal, the high-strength Ti66Nb13Cu8Ni6.8Al6.2 (at.%) alloy exhibiting large compressive ductility [4] was selected for the modification. The microstructure of Ti66Nb13Cu8Ni6.8Al6.2 is composed of two metallographic constituents including β-Ti dendrites and an interdendritic component. The β-Ti dendrites are enriched in Nb and, therefore, Nb is referred as “dendritic element” whereas the interdendritic component is enriched in Ni and Cu and, therefore, these are referred as “interdendritic elements”.
To perform a systematic study of the “interdendritic elements” (Ni, Cu and Co) effect on microstructure, a number of alloys with different concentration and types of alloying elements (Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al, Ti-Nb-Co-Ni-Al, Ti-Nb-Cu-Co-Al and Ti-Nb-Ni(Co)-Al) were developed. It was shown that a higher concentration of the “interdendritic elements” in a composition within one alloy system corresponds to a higher volume fraction of the interdendritic component. Additionally, the crystal structure of the interdendritic phases is affected by type of the “interdendritic elements”.
Since the most advanced applications (e.g. aerospace) require materials with high specific strengths, the new ductile Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al alloys were modified to reduce their density, i.e. the Nb was substituted by lighter V. As a result, a new family of Ti-V-Cu-Ni-Al alloys with improved specific strength compared to the Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al alloys was developed. Additionally, moduli of resilience of the Ti-V-Ni-Cu-Al alloys are superior when compared with those of the commercial Ti-based spring materials.
The effect of microstructure on deformation of the newly developed alloys was studied through the in-situ microstructural analysis of samples at different strained states by means of scanning electron microscopy. To reveal the effect of the metallographic constituents on strength, the microhardness mapping of the new alloys was performed.
Using the obtained empirical principles of microstructure adjustment, a new Ti68.8Nb13.6Co6Cu5.1Al6.5 (at.%) alloy with a large static toughness (superior to those of the recently developed Ti-based metallic glass composites) was developed. This large static toughness is due to both high strength and significant tensile plasticity. To study the effect of microstructure on tensile plasticity of Ti68.8Nb13.6Co6Cu5.1Al6.5 the in-situ microstructural analysis of samples at different strained states in the scanning electron microscope as well as the transmission electron microscopy studies were performed.<br>Der erhöhte Anspruch an strukturelle Anwendungen (z.B. Luftfahrt, Biomedizin, etc.) verlangt neue Werkstoffe mit verbesserten mechanischen Leistungsfähigkeiten. Neuartige Ti-basierte dendritische nano-/ultrafeine Komposite (Ti-basierte DNUS Komposite) besitzen eine vorteilhafte Kombination von hoher Druckfestigkeit mit großer plastischer Verformbarkeit unter Druckbelastung bereits im Gusszustand [1,2] wodurch sie als hochleistungsfähige Werkstoffe angesehen werden. Jedoch besitzen diese Ti-basierte DNUS Komposite heufig eine stark verringerte oder gar keine Duktilität unter Zugbelastung [3].
Deswegen ist es das Ziel dieser Forschungsarbeit neue hochfeste Ti-basierte DNUS Komposite mit ausgeprägter Duktilität unter Zugbelastung zu entwickeln und die mechanischen Eingeschaften mit ihrer Mikrostruktur zu korrelieren.
Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen wurde die hochfeste Legierung Ti66Nb13Cu8Ni6.8Al6.2 (at.%) [4], die eine große plastische Verformbarkeit unter Druckbelastung aufweist, ausgewählt. Die Mikrostruktur von Ti66Nb13Cu8Ni6.8Al6.2 setzt sich aus zwei metallographischen Konstituenten, einschließlich β-Ti Dendriten und einer interdendritischen Komponente, zusammen. Die β-Ti Dendriten sind mit Nb angereichert, weswegen Nb als “dendritisches Element” bezeichnet wird, wohingegen die interdendritische Komponente mit Ni und Cu angereichert ist und deswegen diese als “interdendritische Elemente” bezeichnet werden.
Um den Einfluss der “interdendritischen Elemente” (Ni, Cu and Co) auf die Mikrostruktur zu untersuchen wurden Legierungen mit verschiedenen Konzentrationen unterschiedlicher Legierungselemente (Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al, Ti-Nb-Co-Ni-Al, Ti-Nb-Cu-Co-Al and Ti-Nb-Ni(Co)-Al) entwickelt. Es wurde gezeigt, dass eine höhere Konzentration “interdendritischer Elemente” in einer bestimmten Zusammensetzung einem höheren Volumanteil der interdendritischen Komponente entspricht. Zusätzlich wird die Kristallstruktur der interdendritischen Phase sehr stark durch die “interdendritischen Elemente” beeinflusst. Da die meisten hoch entwickelten Anwendungen (z.B. Luftfahrt) gesteigerte spezifische Festigkeiten erforden, wurden die neuen duktilen Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al Legierungen modifiziert um ihre Dichte zu reduzieren, indem Nb durch das leichtere V ersetzt wurde. Als Ergebniss wurde eine neue Familie von Ti-V-Cu-Ni-Al Legierungen, mit im Vergleich zu Ti-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al Legierungen verbesserten spezifischen Festigkeiten, entwickelt. Zusäzlich ist die elastische Formänderungsenergiedichte der neu entwickelten Legierungen höher verglichen mit kommerziellen Ti-basierten Federmaterialien.
Der Effekt der Mikrostruktur auf das Verformungsverhalten der Legierungen wurde mittels in-situ mikrostruktureller Analysen verschiedener Verformungszustände im Rasterelektronenmikroskop untersucht. Um ein Einfluss der metallographischen Konstituenten auf die Festigkeit zu bestimmen wurden Mikrohärtekarten erstellt.
Unter Verwendung der erhalten empirischen Prinzipen zur Einstellung der Mikrostruktur wurde eine neue Legierung Ti68.8Nb13.6Co6Cu5.1Al6.5 (at.%) mit hoher statischer Zähigkeit (besser als die der kürzlich entwickelten Ti-basierten gläsernen metallischen Kompositlegierungen) entwickelt. Diese hohe statische Zähigkeit wird sowohl durch die hohe Festigkeit als auch durch die ausgeprägte Plastizität unter Zugbelastung verursacht. Um den Einfluss der Mikrostruktur auf die Plastizität unter Zug zu untersuchen wurde Transmissionelektronmikroskopie sowie in-situ mikrostrukturelle Analysen verschiedener Verformungszustände im Rasterelektronmikroskop durchgefühlt.
