The impact of hydrogen on the ductility loss of bainitic Fe–C alloys [PDF]
The influence of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of generic lab-cast Fe-C bainitic alloys is studied by tensile tests on notched samples. The bainitic microstructure is induced in a 0.2% C and 0.4% C Fe-C alloy by an appropriate heat treatment. The

A New Method for Direct Tensile Testing of Concrete
Abstract Different testing methods were used in previous studies to measure the direct tensile strength of concrete. However, these methods experienced several major deficiencies such as stress concentration at the end of the specimens because of inadequate gripping and loading eccentricity and nonuniform fracture plane because of ...
