The yield behavior of a metal foam under dynamic and quasi-static shear-compression combined loadings is investigated in this study. First, quasi-static and dynamic compression-shear combined tests at different loading angles are conducted using a universal testing machine and a rotatable Hopkinson bar system, respectively. Shear deformation reduces the plateau stress as the loading angle increases. Subsequently, the yield modes of the metal foam under combined loadings are investigated. Only one yield band occurs under a combined loading with large loading angles(mode I),whereas several yield bands occur under a combined loading with small loading angles(mode II). Finally, the yield surface plot of metal foam indicates significant enhancement in terms of normal stress and shear stress under dynamic loading. Quasi-static and dynamic phenomenological yield criteria for a shear-normal stress space are established to provide a brief and precise prediction of the behavior of metal foam under quasi-static and dynamic combined loadings.展开更多

It is demonstrated that the stress strain partition parameter can be used to describe the stress transfer from the matrix to the fiber. The variation of the second derivation of the stress strain partition parameter can be used to determine the elastic modulus, the proportion limit, the initial and final yield strengths. In the presence of thermal residual stress, these yielding properties are asymmetric and are influenced differently by the material structure parameters under tensile and compressive loadings.展开更多

The actual critical defect sizes for the SS400 base metal and its weld HAZ (heat affected zone) defined by the gross yielding criterium have been determined directly by means of wide plate tests. It has been shown that although the HAZ grain growth occurs due to the welding heat, the resistance to fracture is not deteriorated. The deformation behavior of wide plate specimen was also studied by finite, element (FE) analysis. The deformation of weld HAZ is protected by the high strength weld metal, so it is easier to get the general yielding for the welded joint specimen.展开更多

In this situation a relatively large (magnitude (M) ~6) EQ happened on April 12 (UT), 2013 at a place close to the former 1995 Kobe EQ (M~7), so we have tried to find whether there existed any precursors to this EQ, especially abnormal animal behavior (milk yield of cows), observed at Kagawa, Shikoku, near the EQ epicenter. The milk yield of cows has been continuously monitored at Kagawa, and it is found that the milk yield exhibited an abnormal depletion about 10 days before the EQ. This behavior has been extensively compared with the former electromagnetic precursors (ULF radiation, ionos-pheric perturbation). This leads to the discussion on the sensory mechanism of unusual behavior of mild yield of cows, and it may be suggested that ULF radiation among different electromagnetic precursors is a mostly likely driver, at least, for this EQ.展开更多
