Cyclic Creep Behavior and Modified Life Prediction of Bainite 2.25Cr-1Mo Steel at 455 °C

open access: yesMetals, 2020
Uniaxial static and cyclic creep tests were carried out on bainite 2.25Cr-1Mo steel at 455 °C. Effects of the unloading rate from 0.6 to 39 MPa/s and valley stress duration from 0 to 30 min on the cyclic creep deformation behavior were discussed.

Quantification of potential macroseismic effects of the induced seismicity that might result from hydraulic fracturing for shale gas exploitation in the UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The furore that has arisen in the UK over induced microseismicity from ‘fracking’ for shale gas development, which has resulted in ground vibrations strong enough to be felt, requires the urgent development of an appropriate regulatory framework.

Damage analysis and fracture toughness evaluation in a thin woven composite laminate under static tension using infrared thermography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This work deals with the issue of damage growth in thin woven composite laminates subjected to tensile loading. The conducted tensile tests were monitored on-line with an infrared camera, and tested specimens were analysed using Scanning Electron ...

The effect of quenching and defects size on the HCF behaviour of Boron steel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This work investigates the effect of natural and artificial surface defects and quenching on the fatigue strength of a Boron steel (22MnB5). A vast experimental campaign has been undertaken to study the high cycle fatigue behaviour and more specifically ...

Silicon mirror suspensions for gravitational wave detectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
One of the most significant limits to the sensitivity of current, and future, long-baseline interferometric gravitational wave detectors is thermal displacement noise of the test masses and their suspensions.

Earthquake ruptures modulated by waves in damaged fault zones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Faults are usually surrounded by damaged zones of lower elastic moduli and seismic wave velocities than their host rocks. If the interface between the damaged rocks and host rocks is sharp enough, earthquakes happening inside the fault zone generate ...

Solution to the problem of the poor cyclic fatigue resistance of bulk metallic glasses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The recent development of metallic glass-matrix composites represents a particular milestone in engineering materials for structural applications owing to their remarkable combination of strength and toughness.

Mode of Strain Release Associated with Major Earthquakes in Japan [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
It is now widely accepted that most shallow earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of tectonic stress, and therefore strain, in the form of faulting (56, Chap. 14).

Masonry behaviour and modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this Chapter we present the basic experimental facts on masonry materials and introduce simple and refined models for masonry. The simple models are essentially macroscopic and based on the assumption that the material is incapable of sustaining ...
