Analysis of Fracture Processes in Steel Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites using Acoustic Emission Testing
Plain concrete has low tensile strength. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an alternative to plain concrete. One of the major reasons of using the SFRC is due to its high tensile strength. The fracture process ... -
Effect of Sintering on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Air Plasma Sprayed 7 wt.% Y2O3 Stabilized ZrO2
Air plasma sprayed (APS) 7 wt.% Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (7YSZ) coating is conventionally used for thermal insulations (in form of thermal barrier coating, TBC) in various hotter sections of land-based gas turbine engines and ... -
Experimental Investigations Into Fracture and Fatigue Behavior Of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Acoustic Emission Technique
Concrete is the most widely used material in the world for construction of infrastructures and there are quite a few gaps in understanding its behaviour under different loads. Fracture in concrete occurs at pre-existing ... -
Experimental studies on the fracture and fatigue failure processes under direct tension in quasi-brittle materials - Graphite and Concrete
Abstract Fatigue phenomenon is a gradual, permanent, micro structural change that takes place in a material due to the application of repeated loading. In the case of quasi-brittle materials like graphite and concrete, ... -
A Finite Element Investigation Of Brittle Fracture During Spherical Nanoindentation Of Thin Hard Films
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-12-14)Hard ceramic films of micrometric thickness deposited on a soft metallic substrate have ushered in a new era in the fabrication of structural, tribological, microelectronic and optical components. The mechanical performance ... -
Fracture and Fatigue Behaviour of Notched Plain Concrete Beams: The Role of Theory of Critical Distances and Acoustic Emission
Concrete structures, including buildings, bridges, pavements, and offshore structures, face a wide range of loading conditions, both static and cyclic. When subjected to fatigue loading, the response of concrete elements ... -
Numerical Studies on Plastic Deformation, Notch Sensitivity and Fracture Behavior of Bulk Metallic Glasses and Composites
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) exhibit attractive properties such as high strength and resilience. However, they display negligible tensile ductility due to catastrophic crack propagation inside a dominant shear band (SB). ... -
Synergistic Effect of Electromagnetic Forces on the Failure of Pre-Cracked Thin Metallic Conductors
Finite element method (FEM) simulations were performed, and distributions of current density, electromagnetic force, and stress fields due to the self induced electromagnetic forces were evaluated in a pre-cracked thin ...
