On the reliability of residual stress measurements in unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composites
(2021-03-03)
The present work introduces a novel methodology to analyse non-uniform residual stresses in composite materials. For robust determination of stresses in complex structures made of different layers, it is first necessary to prove that residual stress analysis in a single layer structure can reliably be accomplished. In present work a unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced epoxy is investigated. For residual stress determination, the integral incremental hole drilling method is used. It is revealed that the standard ...

Effect of Grain Statistics on Micromechanical Modeling: The Example of Additively Manufactured Materials Examined by Electron Backscatter Diffraction
(2020-02-21)
Micromechanical modeling is one of the prominent numerical tools for the prediction of mechanical properties and the understanding of deformation mechanisms of metals. As input parameters, it uses data obtained from microstructure characterization techniques, among which the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique allows us to understand the nature of microstructural features, that are usually described by statistics. Because of these advantages, the EBSD dataset is widely used for synthetic microstructure ...

Influence of complex geometries on the properties of laser-hardened surfaces
(2020-04-25)
Laser surface hardening provides for many advantages in terms of flexible production due to very localized and controlled energy input into the material. Laser processing offers the possibility to treat surfaces in order to locally strengthen the areas that are prone to fatigue cracking. It is well known that laser energy absorption depends on many parameters, e.g., the surface structure and the surface orientation. The incident angle of the laser beam plays a key role in this regard. When complex geometries like ...

Consequences of Deep Rolling at Elevated Temperature on Near-Surface and Fatigue Properties of High-Manganese TWIP Steel X40MnCrAl19-2
(2021-11-05)
Due to pronounced work-hardening induced by the complex interplay of deformation mechanisms such as dislocation slip, twinning and/or martensitic phase transformation, high-manganese steels represent a class of materials well-suited for mechanical surface treatment. In the present study, the fatigue behavior of a high-mangsanese steel showing twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) effect at room temperature (RT) was investigated after deep rolling at 550 °C. Results are compared to a former study discussing the behavior ...

Excellent superelasticity in a Co-Ni-Ga high-temperature shape memory alloy processed by directed energy deposition
(2020-04-30)
A Co-Ni-Ga high-temperature shape memory alloy has been additively manufactured by directed energy deposition. Due to the highly anisotropic microstructure, i.e. columnar grains featuring a strong near-⟨001⟩ texture in build direction, the as-built material is characterized by a very low degree of constraints and, thus, shows excellent superelasticity without conducting a post-process heat treatment. As characterized by in situ deformation testing and post-mortem microstructural analysis, additive manufacturing ...

On data-driven nonlinear uncertainty modeling: Methods and application for control-oriented surface condition prediction in hard turning
(2020-10-16)
In this article, two data-driven modeling approaches are investigated, which allow an explicit modeling of uncertainty. For this purpose, parametric Takagi-Sugeno multi-models with bounded-error parameter estimation and nonparametric Gaussian process regression are applied and compared. These models can for instance be used for robust model-based control design. As an application, the prediction of residual stresses during hard turning depending on the machining parameters and the initial hardness is considered.

On the low-cycle fatigue behavior of thermo-mechanically processed high-strength aluminum alloys
(2021)
In the present work low-cycle fatigue experiments were carried out on thermo-mechanically processed AA6082 and AA7075 sheets to evaluate mechanical properties under cyclic loading. Different cooling rates imposed by use of tempered forming tools after solutionizing and subsequent aging treatment led to the formation of precipitates with differing sizes and morphologies. Specimens thermo-mechanically processed in tools with temperatures of 24 °C and 200 °C showed superior mechanical properties under both monotonic and ...

Effect of Crystallographic Orientation and Grain Boundaries on Martensitic Transformation and Superelastic Response of Oligocrystalline Fe–Mn–Al–Ni Shape Memory Alloys
(2021-07-26)
In situ tensile tests employing digital image correlation were conducted to study the martensitic transformation of oligocrystalline Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shape memory alloys in depth. The influence of different grain orientations, i.e., near-〈001〉 and near-〈101〉, as well as the influence of different grain boundary misorientations are in focus of the present work. The results reveal that the reversibility of the martensite strongly depends on the type of martensitic evolving, i.e., twinned or detwinned. Furthermore, it is ...

Shape Memory Effect and Superelasticity of [001]-Oriented FeNiCoAlNb Single Crystals Aged under and without Stress
(2021-06-10)
The two-step ageing of Fe-28Ni-17Co-11.5Al-2.5Nb (at.%) single crystals under and without stress, leads to the precipitation of the γ′- and β-phase particles. Research has shown that γ–α′ thermoelastic martensitic transformation (MT), with shape memory effect (SME) and superelasticity (SE), develops in the [001]-oriented crystals under tension. SE was observed within the range from the temperature of the start of MT upon cooling Mₛ, to the temperature of the end of the reverse MT upon heating Af, and at temperatures ...

Influence of the Miniaturisation Effect on the Effective Stiffness of Lattice Structures in Additive Manufacturing
(2020-10-29)
Thin-walled and cellular structures are characterised by superior lightweight potential due to their advantageous stiffness to weight ratio. They find particular interest in the field of additive manufacturing due to robust and reproducible manufacturability. However, the mechanical performance of such structures strongly depends on the manufacturing process and resultant geometrical imperfections such as porosity, deviations in strut thickness or surface roughness, for which an understanding of their influence is ...
