Lifetime Prediction with Combined Hygro-Thermo-Mechanical Influences on Thick Layer Adhesives
(2023-05-31)
Semi-structural bonded joints of steel components are exposed to long-term stresses in addition to water diffusion, temperature changes and varying external forces during operation. These hygro-thermomechanical loadings lead to successive degradation of stiffness and strength due to damage resulting from chemical aging and fatigue processes, causing failure of the bonded joint when its service life is reached. In the following contribution, a methodology is presented to predict the service life of hygro-thermo-mechanically ...

Modeling and numerical simulation of flow processes of wood-polymer composites
(2023-05-31)
The combination of natural fibers and polymers is finding expanding application in a range of industrial branches, and knowledge of the material behavior is essential for further improving the products and the processing procedure. In this work, the material behavior of wood-polymer composites (WPC) will be modeled and numerical simulations will be used to investigate the flow behavior. By means of rheological measurements, a shear thinning flow behavior of the composite can be determined, which is also often taken ...

Internal prestressing of ultra-high performance concrete using shape memory fibers
(2023-05-31)
Using shape memory fibers to reinforce concrete is a novel concept in civil engineering. Pre-stretched fibers are brought into concrete and after activating the shape memory effect, a compressive prestress state is introduced. The present work investigates this method numerically. A brief introduction to the relevant behavior of shape memory alloys is given. Fiber activation is modeled by an empirical phase transition model. Simulations are carried out by applying the Finite Element Method to solve the CAUCHY-FOURIER ...

Optimal attitude maneuvers in the presence of prohibited directions
(2023-05-31)
We consider the problem of realigning a space telescope from one observation target to the next in the presence of prohibited directions. More specifically, we want to steer the space telescope – modelled as a gyrostat – from an initial attitude at rest to a final attitude at rest within a fixed time interval. During the motion, the line of sight of the telescope must be kept away from forbidden directions towards bright objects like the sun, moon or earth due to power or thermal requirements. The kinematics of the ...

Influence of Mean Stress on Lifetime Prediction of Adhesive Bonds
(2023-05-31)
The importance of adhesive bonds in the field of joining technology is increasing due to their advantageous properties. One of these attributes is the possibility to reduce the weight compared to welded joints in group of components. For a safe design, the knowledge of the lifetime of these components is essential. Various methods are used for the prediction of the lifetime under cyclic loading. On the one hand there are test-based methods, on the other hand simulation-based approaches. Test-based ones are often ...

Hybrid modeling of viscoelastic and switching–induced heating in ferroelectrics
(2023-03-24)
This contribution focuses on two effects causing a temperature change in electrically loaded ferroelectrics. These materials are often subjected to cyclic loading, where viscoelasticity prevails at lower electric fields, whereas dissipative heating by domain switching dominates above the coercive field. While viscoelasticity is modeled within a phenomenological, rheological framework, the ferroelectric constitutive behaviour is described based on a microphysical model. Merging both approaches results in the hybrid ...

Benzene Oxidation over Pt Loaded on Fly Ash Zeolite X
(2023-07-20)
In the present study, zeolite X (FANaX) was synthesized from coal fly ash (FA) by a two-step high-temperature method. In order to follow the effect of different contaminants in the starting coal ash, zeolite X was also synthesized from pure chemicals according to a classical recipe (NaX). Iron was loaded on this reference zeolite with the amount which was contained in the coal FA. The final catalytic samples were obtained by wet impregnation of Pt nanoparticles on both types of zeolite crystals. The most active samples ...

High-Strength Dissimilar Welds Between a NiTi Shape Memory Alloy and Titanium Obtained by Intermixing Niobium Using Pulsed Laser Beam Welding
(2023-11-17)
Joining of NiTi shape memory alloys with commercially pure titanium (Ti) is of great interest for manifold industrial applications. However, dissimilar fusion welding of these materials is associated with the formation of extremely brittle intermetallic compounds, e.g., Ti2Ni and TiNi3, which drastically limit the mechanical properties of NiTi/Ti joints. The present investigation seeks to improve both chemical compatibility and mechanical performance through intermixing of a niobium foil as filler material into a ...

Extension of Gap Bridgeability and Prevention of Oxide Lines in the Welding Seam through Application of Tools with Multi-Welding Pins
(2021-07-30)
Friction stir welding has become important in many areas of production and is increasingly used for joining aluminum components. For long welding seams, conventional tools with only one welding pin reach their technical limitations due to low gap bridgeability. When welding aluminum, the stirred in surface layers, such as oxides, lead to a decrease in static and dynamic strength since linear accumulations are formed in the welding seam. The aim of the present study is to increase the gap bridgeability using tools ...

Influence of Microstructure and Defects on Mechanical Properties of AISI H13 Manufactured by Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion
(2021-08-04)
Electron beam powder bed fusion (E-PBF) is a well-known additive manufacturing process. Components are realized based on layer-by-layer melting of metal powder. Due to the high degree of design freedom, additive manufacturing came into focus of tooling industry, especially for tools with sophisticated internal cooling channels. The present work focuses on the relationships between processing, microstructure evolution, chemical composition and mechanical properties of a high alloyed tool steel AISI H13 (1.2344, ...
