In this paper, the self-developed direct tension device and creep testing machine RLW-2000M are used to conduct the creep tests on red sandstone under uniaxial compressive and tensile stresses. The short-term and long-term creep behaviors of rocks under compressive and tensile stresses are investigated, as well as the long-term strength of rocks. It is shown that, under low-stress levels, the creep curve of sandstone consists of decay and steady creep stages; while under high-stress levels, it presents the accelerated creep stage and creep fracture presents characteristics of brittle materials. The relationship between tensile stress and time under uniaxial tension is also put forward. Finally, a nonlinear viscoelastoplastic creep model is used to describe the creep behaviors of rocks under uniaxial compressive and tensile stresses.展开更多

Combined effects of Zr and La assisted in significant grain refinement of Mg and Mg 0.5 wt.% Zr 4 wt.% La exhibited an average grain size as low as ~2.75 μm. High ignition temperature of ~645 oC was realized with Mg 0.5 wt.% Zr（1,2.5 and 4） wt.% La alloys. Microhardness value as high as ~103 Hv was observed with Mg 0.5 wt.% Zr 4 wt.% La alloy. Under room temperature tensile and compression loading, significant improvements in the strength properties of pure Mg with the addition of 0.5 wt.% Zr（0, 1, 2.5 and 4） wt.% La was observed. Mg 0.5 wt.% Zr 4 wt.% La exhibited the maximum 0.2% tensile and compression yield strengths of ~283 MPa and ~264 MPa, respectively. The tensile and compression fracture strain values of synthesized pure Mg were found to be unaffected with the addition of 0.5 wt.% Zr. But the tensile fracture strain reduced with the addition of La while the compressive fracture strain was unaffected. Minimal tensile-compression asymmetry（~1） was exhibited by Mg 0.5 wt.% Zr（1 and 2.5） wt.% La alloys.展开更多

The microstructure, tensile and compressive deformation behaviors and fracture morphology of laser solid formed Zr_(55)Cu_(30)Al_(10)Ni_5 BMGs were investigated. It is found that the crystallization mainly occurs in the heat-affected zones of deposition layers, which consist of Al_5Ni_3Zr_2, NiZr_2, ZrCu, CuZr_2 phases. The content of amorphous phase in the deposit is about 63%.Under the compressive loading, the deposit presents no plasticity before fracture occurs. The fracture process is mainly controlled by the shear stress and the compressive shear fracture angles of about39?. The compressive strength reaches 1452 MPa, which is equivalent to that of as-Cast Zr_(55)Cu_(30)Al_(10)Ni_5 BMGs, and there exist vein-like patterns, river-like patterns and smooth regions at the compressive fractography. Under the tensile loading, the deposit presents the brittle fracture pattern without plastic deformation. The fracture process exhibits normal fracture model, and the tensile shear fracture angle of about 90?. The tensile strength is only about 609 MPa, and the tensile fractography mainly consists of micro-scaled cores and vein-like patterns, dimple-like patterns, chocolate-like patterns and smooth regions. The results further verified the feasibility and large potential of laser additive manufacturing on fabrication and industrial application of large-scale BMGs parts.展开更多

The proposed criterion is defined in terms of three parameters. One parameter expresses the apparent unconfined compressive strength （AUCS）, obtained from the Coulomb-Mohr criterion, as a regulated unconfined compressive strength （RUCS）. Two other parameters, 2~ and （, are material-dependent that can be determined by regression analysis. The proposed criterion is compared with selected applicable strength criteria separately for compressive and tensile strengths. Coefficient of determination and accordance coefficient are considered in comparisons between the proposed and selected strength criteria.展开更多

It is found that the yield stress, maximum strength, and fracture strain are 1380 MPa, 1516 MPa, and 4.3% for uniaxial tension, but 1580 MPa, 4010 MPa, and 29% for uniaxial compression, respectively. The composite displays a linear ＂work hardening＂ capacity under compression; however, the ＂work softening＂ behavior is observed in the true engineering stress-strain curve upon tensile loading. The fracture surfaces of specimens also exhibit dissimilar properties under the different loadings.展开更多

In this study, potential of baked clay as an economical material of building construction is investigated in order to replace normal concrete. For this purpose, compressive strength and tensile strength of baked clay fired at 1000℃ were determined. The results show that the compressive strength and tensile strength of baked clay are about 65%, and 80% more than those of corresponding values of normal concrete, respectively. This implies that by utilizing reinforced baked clay instead of RCC, saving of cement aggregates and reinforcing steel could be achieved.展开更多

SK76 single fibers subjectet to 77% nominal transverse compressive strains.Experimental investigation of quasistatic transverse compression on Dyneema~? SK-76 yarns,unconstrained in the lateral direction,indicate an average of 4% reduction in tensile strength of yarns compressed to 77% nominal strains.In this work we use finite element modeling techniques to understand the difference in residual tensile strength between single fibers and yarns observed in laterally unconstrained transverse compression experiments.Finite element study of the transverse compression response of single fibers and yarns indicate that local strains developed in fibers within the yarn are much lower than the local strains developed in single fibers subjected to a given nominal strain and may explain the less reduction in strength observed in yarns.展开更多

Subsequently, reconstruction algorithms restore image sequences of dynamic scenes, offering advantages such as reduced bandwidth and storage space requirements. The temporal correlation in video data is crucial for Video SCI, as it leverages the temporal relationships among frames to enhance the efficiency and quality of reconstruction algorithms, particularly for fast-moving objects.This paper discretizes video frames to create image datasets with the same data volume but differing temporal correlations. We utilized the state-of-the-art(SOTA) reconstruction framework, EfficientSCI++, to train various compressed reconstruction models with these differing temporal correlations. Evaluating the reconstruction results from these models, our simulation experiments confirm that a reduction in temporal correlation leads to decreased reconstruction accuracy. Additionally, we simulated the reconstruction outcomes of datasets devoid of temporal correlation, illustrating that models trained on non-temporal data affect the temporal feature extraction capabilities of transformers, resulting in negligible impacts on the evaluation of reconstruction results for non-temporal correlation test datasets.展开更多

文摘The anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry of rare-earth magnesium(Mg-RE) alloys have attracted significant attention.In this study,the room-temperature tensile anisotropy and tensioncompression asymmetry of the extruded Mg-8.5Gd-4.5Y-0.8Zn-0.4Zr alloy were investigated utilizing techniques such as optical microscopy(OM),electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),and viscoplastic self-consistent(VPSC) modeling.Among the tensile samples,the TO sample(with axis parallel to extrusion direction) exhibits the greatest tensile yield strength(TYS) of 270 MPa and ultimate tensile strength(UTS) of 336 MPa,the T45 sample(with axis inclined at a 45° angle to extrusion direction) and T90 sample(with axis perpendicular to extrusion direction) exhibit lower TYS and UTS.The CO sample shows a slightly greater compressive yield strength(CYS) of 290 MPa.The ratio of TYS/CYS is approximately 1.07.This study significantly adjusts the VPSC hardening parameters through the Schmid factor of deformation mechanisms in Mg-RE alloy,particularly increasing the τ0(critical resolved shear stress,CRSS) and τ1values for basalslip and {10-12} twinning.The ratios of CRSS for other deformation mechanisms to basalslip are approximately as follows:CRSSTwin/CRSSBas=2,CRSSpri/CRSSBas≈2.7and CRSSPyr/CRSSBas≈3.3,while these ratios in traditional alloys are generally higher.The stress-strain curves and pole figures obtained from the modified VPSC model demonstrate excellent agreement with experimental results.According to the VPSC simulation results,the primary factor contributing to tensile anisotropy is the disparity in the activation levels of slip systems.The inclusion of rare-earth elements mitigates the tension-compression asymmetry by reducing the difference of CRSS between different deformation mechanisms.

文摘To obtain the design parameters of the structure made by ecological high ductility cementitious composites(Eco-HDCC),the effects of curing age on the compressive and tensile stress-strain relationships were studied.The reaction degree of fly ash,non-evaporable water content and the pH value in pore solution were calculated to reveal the mechanical property.The results indicate that as the curing age increases,the peak compressive strength,peak compressive strain and ultimate tensile strength of Eco-HDCC increase.However,the ultimate compressive strain and ultimate tensile strain of Eco-HDCC decrease with the increase in curing age.Besides,as the curing age increases,the reaction degree of fly ash and non-evaporable water content in Eco-HDCC increase,while the pH value in the pore solution of Eco-HDCC decreases.Finally,the simplified compressive and tensile stress-strain constitutive relationship models of Eco-HDCC with a curing age of 28 d were suggested for the structure design safety.
文摘This paper presents a strength criterion for intact rock, which can well describe triaxial test data under compressive or tensile stress state. The proposed criterion is defined in terms of three parameters. One parameter expresses the apparent unconfined compressive strength （AUCS）, obtained from the Coulomb-Mohr criterion, as a regulated unconfined compressive strength （RUCS）. Two other parameters, 2~ and （, are material-dependent that can be determined by regression analysis. The proposed criterion is compared with selected applicable strength criteria separately for compressive and tensile strengths. Coefficient of determination and accordance coefficient are considered in comparisons between the proposed and selected strength criteria.
文摘Estimating in-situ stress with hydraulic borehole fracturing involves tensile strength of rock.Several strength criteria with three parameters result in tensile strengths with great differences,although they may describe the relation between strength of rock and confining pressure with low misfits.The exponential criterion provides acceptable magnitudes of tensile strengths for granites and over-estimates that for other rocks,but the criterion with tension cut-off is applicable to all rocks.The breakdown pressure will be lower than the shut-in pressure during hydraulic borehole fracturing,when the maximum horizontal principal stress is 2 times larger than the minor one;and it is not the peak value in the first cycle,but the point where the slope of pressure-time curve begins to decline.

文摘This article focuses on the tensile and compressive characteristics of a Ti-based bulk metallic glass composite （BMGC）. It is found that the yield stress, maximum strength, and fracture strain are 1380 MPa, 1516 MPa, and 4.3% for uniaxial tension, but 1580 MPa, 4010 MPa, and 29% for uniaxial compression, respectively. The composite displays a linear ＂work hardening＂ capacity under compression; however, the ＂work softening＂ behavior is observed in the true engineering stress-strain curve upon tensile loading. The fracture surfaces of specimens also exhibit dissimilar properties under the different loadings.
文摘The microstructure,tensile properties and compressive creep resistance of permanent-mould cast Mg-(5-8.5)%Sn-2%La (mass fraction) alloys were investigated.The results show that Mg-(5-8.5)%Sn-2%La alloys are all composed ofα-Mg phase, Mg_2Sn and Mg-La-Sn compounds.Compared with those of Mg-5%Sn binary alloy,the grain size and the content of Mg_2Sn compound in Mg-5%Sn-2%La alloy are decreased.With the increase of Sn content in Mg-(5-8.5)%Sn-2%La alloys,the content of Mg_2Sn compound increases,while that of Mg-Sn-La compound changes little.In addition,the investigation suggests that the thermally stable Mg-Sn-La and Mg2Sn compounds can improve the tensile properties and compressive creep resistance of the alloys.

文摘The microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior in directionally solidified Ni-rich Ni-Mn-Ga alloys with nominal compositions of Ni_(58)Mn_(25)Ga_(17) and Ni_(60)Mn_(25)Ga_(15) under compressive and tensile stresses have been investigated.The composition distribution shows the element Ni segregates in gamma phase,while elements Mn and Ga segregate in martensite phase.Furthermore,the microstructure orientation examined by electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)indicates that beta phase has a preferred growth orientation of(001)_(A) in Ni_(58)Mn_(25)Ga_(17) alloys,while gamma phase has a preferred growth orientation of(001)_(γ) in Ni_(60)Mn_(25)Ga_(15) alloys.The fracture morphology suggests that the existence of ductile y phase can reduce the crack propagation and promote fracture strain,particularly in the Ni_(60)Mn_(25)Ga_(15) alloys.Finally,Schmid factor and deformation gradient tensor were calculated to well explain the crystallographic evolution during the detwinning under compressive and tensile stresses.The present findings not only elucidate the mechanism ofγphase on the mechanical behavior of Ni-rich Ni-Mn-Ga alloys,but also shed light on the composition design of high temperature Ni-Mn-Ga shape memory alloys.
文摘Due to high cost of aggregates, cement and steel in plain regions of Pakistan, low income people are unable to get their houses constructed using Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC). In this study, potential of baked clay as an economical material of building construction is investigated in order to replace normal concrete. For this purpose, compressive strength and tensile strength of baked clay fired at 1000℃ were determined. The results show that the compressive strength and tensile strength of baked clay are about 65%, and 80% more than those of corresponding values of normal concrete, respectively. This implies that by utilizing reinforced baked clay instead of RCC, saving of cement aggregates and reinforcing steel could be achieved.

文摘Ballistic impact induces complex stress states on fiber-based armor systems.During impact fibers undergo multiaxial loading which includes axial tension,axial compression,transverse compression,and transverse shear.Transverse co mpression induced by the projectile leads to permanent defo rmation and fibrillation of fibers resulting in degradation of material tensile strength.Previous work(Sockalingam et al.Textile Res.J 2018) has shown a reduction of 20% in the tensile strength of Dyneema~? SK76 single fibers subjectet to 77% nominal transverse compressive strains.Experimental investigation of quasistatic transverse compression on Dyneema~? SK-76 yarns,unconstrained in the lateral direction,indicate an average of 4% reduction in tensile strength of yarns compressed to 77% nominal strains.In this work we use finite element modeling techniques to understand the difference in residual tensile strength between single fibers and yarns observed in laterally unconstrained transverse compression experiments.Finite element study of the transverse compression response of single fibers and yarns indicate that local strains developed in fibers within the yarn are much lower than the local strains developed in single fibers subjected to a given nominal strain and may explain the less reduction in strength observed in yarns.

文摘Traditional machine learning(ML)encounters the challenge of parameter adjustment when predicting the compressive strength of reclaimed concrete.To address this issue,we introduce two optimized hybrid models:the Bayesian optimization model(B-RF)and the optimal model(Stacking model).These models are applied to a data set comprising 438 observations with five input variables,with the aim of predicting the compressive strength of reclaimed concrete.Furthermore,we evaluate the performance of the optimized models in comparison to traditional machine learning models,such as support vector regression(SVR),decision tree(DT),and random forest(RF).The results reveal that the Stacking model exhibits superior predictive performance,with evaluation indices including R2=0.825,MAE=2.818 and MSE=14.265,surpassing the traditional models.Moreover,we also performed a characteristic importance analysis on the input variables,and we concluded that cement had the greatest influence on the compressive strength of reclaimed concrete,followed by water.Therefore,the Stacking model can be recommended as a compressive strength prediction tool to partially replace laboratory compressive strength testing,resulting in time and cost savings.

文摘The fatigue fracture under cyclic dynamic direct tensions of brittle rock is an important mechanical characteristic index for the evaluation of geological disasters and underground engineering safety.However,most studies focus on macroscopic fracture mechanical properties,and the mechanism linking the macroscopic fracture with the microcrack growth during the cyclic dynamic direct tensile loading of brittle rocks is rarely studied.In this paper,a micro-macro fracture model explaining the stress-strain constitutive relationship is established at the last impact failure after being subjected to multiple cyclic direct tensile impacts of brittle rocks.This model is based on the wing crack extension model under direct tensile loading,the quasi-static and dynamic fracture toughness relationship,the suggested crack rate and strain rate relationship,the relationship of damage and dynamic tensile fatigue life N,the relationship of dynamic fracture toughness and dynamic tensile fatigue life N.The variations of dynamic mechanical properties of rocks with dynamic tensile fatigue life for different initial crack sizes and angles within the rocks are further discussed.The compressive strength,elastic modulus,crack initiation stress,limit crack extension length and crack extension rate descend and the failure strain ascends with an increment of dynamic tensile fatigue life in rocks.This study's results provide help for the safety and stability of the underground surrounding rocks under blasting working or seismic disasters.

文摘Video snapshot compressive imaging(Video SCI) modulates scenes using various encoding masks and captures compressed measurements with a low-speed camera during a single exposure. Subsequently, reconstruction algorithms restore image sequences of dynamic scenes, offering advantages such as reduced bandwidth and storage space requirements. The temporal correlation in video data is crucial for Video SCI, as it leverages the temporal relationships among frames to enhance the efficiency and quality of reconstruction algorithms, particularly for fast-moving objects.This paper discretizes video frames to create image datasets with the same data volume but differing temporal correlations. We utilized the state-of-the-art(SOTA) reconstruction framework, EfficientSCI++, to train various compressed reconstruction models with these differing temporal correlations. Evaluating the reconstruction results from these models, our simulation experiments confirm that a reduction in temporal correlation leads to decreased reconstruction accuracy. Additionally, we simulated the reconstruction outcomes of datasets devoid of temporal correlation, illustrating that models trained on non-temporal data affect the temporal feature extraction capabilities of transformers, resulting in negligible impacts on the evaluation of reconstruction results for non-temporal correlation test datasets.
