Study of the effect of strain rate on the in-plane shear and transverse compression response of a composite ply using computational micromechanics
Mario Rueda-Ruiz, Miguel Herraez, Federico Sket +3
The use of composite materials for structures subjected to impacts requires a deep understanding about the dynamic behaviour of the material. To this end, a physically-based comput…
Effect of Al content on the hardness and thermal stability study of AlTiN and AlTiBN coatings deposited by HiPIMS
A. Mendez, M. A. Monclus, J. A. Santiago +7
The microstructure, mechanical properties and thermal stability of AlTiN and AlTiBN coatings grown by reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) have been analyzed a…
A new physical simulation tool to predict the interface of dissimilar aluminum to steel welds performed by Friction Melt Bonding
T. Sapanathan, N. Jimenez-Mena, I. Sabirov +5
Optimization of the intermetallic layer thickness and the suppression of interfacial defects are key elements to improve the load bearing capacity of dissimilar joints. However, ti…
High strain rate compression of epoxy micro pillars
Mario Rueda-Ruiz, Miguel A. Monclús, Ben D. Beake +2
The study of the high strain rate mechanical behaviour of materials using micropillar compression tests has been hindered so far due to the lack of suitable instrumentation. In the…
High temperature mechanical properties and microstructure of hard TaSiN coatings
M. A. Monclús, L. Yang, I. López-Cabañas +7
Room and high temperature mechanical properties of reactive magnetron sputtered TaSiN coatings were measured using nanoindentation (between 25C and 500C). Fracture toughness was al…
