Through an analytical shear-lag model and finite element simulations, it is demonstrated that applying tensile pre-strain to carbon fibers before electrode assembly effectively reduces the interfacial shear stress, thereby suppressing debonding. However, the excessive pre-strain can induce the interfacial damage in the unlithiated state, necessitating careful control of the pre-strain within a feasible range. This range is influenced by electrode material properties and geometric parameters. Specifically, the electrodes with the higher solid-state electrolyte elastic modulus and larger electrolyte volume fraction exhibit more significant interfacial damage, making pre-strain application increasingly critical. However, these conditions also impose stricter constraints on the feasible pre-strain range. By elucidating the interplay between pre-strain, material properties, and geometric factors, this study provides valuable insights for optimizing the design of carbon fiber SLIBs.展开更多

The results show that pre-straining at 170 °C immediately after quenching can effectively resolve the rather high T4 temper hardness caused by the conventional room temperature (RT) pre-straining treatment, and give a better bake hardening response (BHR) after paint-bake cycle. HT-PS 7% at 170 °C for 10 min is chosen as the optimum process as it provides lower T4 temper hardness and better BHR. The simultaneous introduction of dislocations and Cluster (2) can significantly suppress the natural aging and promote the precipitation of β″ phase, and reduce the effects of deformation hardening by dynamic recovery.展开更多

Differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） analysis was conducted to reveal corresponding precipitation mechanisms. The results showed that pre-straining and pre-aging alone couldn＇t completely suppress natural aging and improve bake hardening response simultaneously. The sensitivity of the pre-straining and pre-aging on the mechanical properties was evaluated. It was found that pre-aging was the main factor which greatly improved bake hardening response and pre-treatment had a weak influence on plasticity in pre-treated samples. DSC analysis showed that the dissolution trough of clusters disappeared in pre-treated samples, both β”and β＇ precipitation peak shifted to lower temperature and were reduced in pre-strained and pre-aged samples. It was concluded that the formation of Mg/Si clusters was replaced by the accelerated precipitation ofβ” andβ＇ phases, which caused the suppression of natural aging and the improvement of bake hardening response （BHR）.展开更多

After pre-straining, the specimens were baked and the corresponding bake-hardening （BH） values were determined as a function of pre-strain, baking temperature, and baking time. The influences ofpre-strain, baking temperature and baking time on the microstructure evolution and bake-hardening behavior of the dual-phase steel were investigated systematically. It was found that the BH value apparently increased with an increase in pre-strain in the range from 0 to 1%; however, increasing pre-strain from 1% to 8% led to a decrease in the BH value. Furthermore, an increase in baking temperature favored a gradual improvement in the BH value because of the formation of Cottrell atmosphere and the precipitation of carbides in both the ferrite and martensite phases. The BH value reached a maximum of 110 MPa at a baking temperature of 300℃. Moreover, the BH value enhanced significantly with increasing baking time from 10 to 100 min.展开更多

The results indicated that pre-strain increases the reverse martensitic transformation temperature (A ' (s)) and hysteresis (A(s) - M-s). The recovery strain and stress are higher if the specimens are pre-strained between M-s and A(s) temperature than outside this temperature range. There exists an optimal pre-strain value, about 10%, at which the specimen exhibits maximum recovery strain and stress.展开更多

A pretreatment process incorporating artificial pre-aging at 165 °C for 6 h/12 h/24 h followed by pre-strain(3%–9%)has been developed. This method not only evidently improves the strength but also accelerates the creep deformation during creep aging of an Al-Cu alloy. A strength increase of 50 MPa with a slight decrease of ductility relative to the 9% pre-strained alloy is acquired in the alloy artificially pre-aged for 24 h regardless of the pre-strain level(3%–9%). Artificial aging for 24 h prior to 3%pre-strain enables an increase of creep strain by 30%. The creep strain in the alloy artificially preaged for 24 h and pre-strained by 6% is comparable to that in the alloy pre-strained by 9%. The strength and ductility in the alloy artificially pre-aged for 6 h/12 h and pre-strained by 3% are even slightly higher than those in the alloy purely pre-strained by 9%. The characterizations by transmission electron microscopy reveal that pre-aging at 165 °C could promote the accumulation of dislocations during pre-straining due to the pinning effect of pre-existing Guinier-Preston zones(GP zones)/θ’’phases and thus expedite the creep deformation in respect to the pure pre-straining treatment. The enhanced precipitation of θ’phases at these pinned dislocations contributes to the improved strength after creep aging. The results demonstrate applying artificial pre-aging before pre-straining is an efficient strategy to elevate the creep aging response in Al alloys.展开更多

This study aimed to reveal the influence of strain path, pre-strain orientation （c0 as well as pre-strain level on the mechanical properties of A6111-T4P sheet under bake treatment through uniaxial tension test. （0-5）% pre-strain, 150-170 ℃ bake temperature and 20-30 min bake time were considered in the study by referring to the actual production process. The results show that both pre-strain level and strain path play significant roles in improving the material properties. In the condition that tensile orientation （β） parallel with pre-strain orientation （β= a）, the yield strength can be remarkably improved, and much higher parameter of n in Hockett-Sherby model can be obtained than those when tensile orientation non-parallel with pre-strain orientation （a≠ β）. In addition, when the pre-strain level, paint bake process were settled and β = a, the curves obtained in five tension orientations are similar in the plastic deformation stage.展开更多

Compared with un-defarmed TiNi film, the reverse transformation of pre-strained specimens was elevated to a higher temperature on the first heating, but martensite and reverse transformation on subsequent thermal cycles occurred at a lower temperature. The evolution of transformation behavior in pre-strained TiNi film was related to the change of elastic strain energy, irreversible energy and internal stress field.展开更多

The scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, tensile test, Vickers hardness test, and differential scanning calorimetry were conducted for the purpose. It was found that the pre-strain treatment partially inhibits the natural aging hardening effect but cannot completely eliminate it. The pre-straining significantly enhances the bake hardening effect, with the 5% pre-strain sample showing the highest increase in yield strength and hardness. The formation of fine β" precipitates and dislocation structures contribute to the observed strengthening. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of optimizing pre-strain levels to achieve the best balance between strength and ductility in bake-hardened aluminum alloys.展开更多

The axial fatigue tests were conducted under a constant amplitude sinusoidal wave loading at stress ratio of 0.1 in laboratory air and salt fog at room temperature. The results show that the yield stress of pre strain material is higher than that of the material without undergoing pre-strain,but pre-strain can not make the increase of the growth rate of fatigue crack. Fatigue crack growth rates of the alloy in salt fog are higher than those in air. The increased fatigue crack growth of the alloy in a given environment and more brittle striations can be observed in salt fog.展开更多

文摘The improvement of post-form properties without compromising creep formability has been a critical issue in creep age forming of aluminum alloy component. A pretreatment process incorporating artificial pre-aging at 165 °C for 6 h/12 h/24 h followed by pre-strain(3%–9%)has been developed. This method not only evidently improves the strength but also accelerates the creep deformation during creep aging of an Al-Cu alloy. A strength increase of 50 MPa with a slight decrease of ductility relative to the 9% pre-strained alloy is acquired in the alloy artificially pre-aged for 24 h regardless of the pre-strain level(3%–9%). Artificial aging for 24 h prior to 3%pre-strain enables an increase of creep strain by 30%. The creep strain in the alloy artificially preaged for 24 h and pre-strained by 6% is comparable to that in the alloy pre-strained by 9%. The strength and ductility in the alloy artificially pre-aged for 6 h/12 h and pre-strained by 3% are even slightly higher than those in the alloy purely pre-strained by 9%. The characterizations by transmission electron microscopy reveal that pre-aging at 165 °C could promote the accumulation of dislocations during pre-straining due to the pinning effect of pre-existing Guinier-Preston zones(GP zones)/θ’’phases and thus expedite the creep deformation in respect to the pure pre-straining treatment. The enhanced precipitation of θ’phases at these pinned dislocations contributes to the improved strength after creep aging. The results demonstrate applying artificial pre-aging before pre-straining is an efficient strategy to elevate the creep aging response in Al alloys.

Additionally, the study highlights the importance of optimizing pre-strain levels to achieve the best balance between strength and ductility in bake-hardened aluminum alloys.

文摘The influences of pre-strain on the mechanical property and fatigue crack growth of 2E12 aluminum alloy were evaluated by SEM,TEM,mechanical property and fatigue tests. The axial fatigue tests were conducted under a constant amplitude sinusoidal wave loading at stress ratio of 0.1 in laboratory air and salt fog at room temperature. The results show that the yield stress of pre strain material is higher than that of the material without undergoing pre-strain,but pre-strain can not make the increase of the growth rate of fatigue crack. Fatigue crack growth rates of the alloy in salt fog are higher than those in air. The increased fatigue crack growth of the alloy in a given environment and more brittle striations can be observed in salt fog.

文摘A class of dynamic cavitations is examined for an isotropic incompressible hyperelastic circular sheet under a pre-strained state caused by an initially applied finite radial tension.The solutions that describe the radially symmetric motion of the pre-strained sheet are obtained.The conditions of cavitated bifurcation that describe cavity formation and motion with time at the axial line of the pre-strained sheet are proposed,that is to say,a circular cavity will form if the suddenly applied radial tensile load exceeds a certain critical value;dynamically,it is proved that the formed cavity will present a nonlinearly periodic oscillation,which is essentially different from the singular periodic oscillation of the formed cavity in an incompressible hyperelastic solid sphere.Numerical simulations show the effects of prescribed radial tension,material parameter and tensile load on critical ten-sile load describing cavity formation and periodic oscillation of the pre-strained circular sheet.

文摘Zero Poisson’s ratio(ZPR)mechanical metamaterials can yield no transverse displacements when unidi-rectionally compressed,and cylindrical sandwich meta-structures composed of semi re-entrant(SRE)ZPR metamaterials are thus explored for applications on cylindrical shells of underwater equipment or sub-mersible structures.A group of ZPR unit cells with specified pre-strained wave propagation characteristics and adequate load-bearing capabilities is optimally designed based on the periodic boundary condition(PBC)and Bloch’s Theorem.The sound transmission and pressure-resistant performance of cylindrical sandwich meta-structures comprising the homogeneous and graded SRE ZPR unit cells are then investi-gated.The results show that the designed meta-structures can perfectly yield better vibroacoustic atten-uation behavior within the specified frequency regions corresponding to the pre-strained band gaps and safely bear the hydrostatic pressure equivalent to 1000 m depth with low weight-bulk ratios.In addition,the functionally graded metamaterial core can boost vibroacoustic performance within broader frequency ranges.
