In this investigation the extent of the plastic zone size ahead of a crack-tip in single edge notched tension (SENT), compact tension (CT) specimens has been examined experimentally by micro-hardness technique and by elastic-plastic finite…
This study investigates the physico-mechanical properties, mineralogical composition, deterioration processes, weathering patterns, and durability of building materials in the Ottoman Fort of Tamentfoust, Algiers, to inform heritage…
The widespread use of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in sectors such as aerospace and aviation calls for the adoption of sustainable recycling protocols. This research evaluates the mechanical and tomographic…
A Light Utility Helicopter (LUH), in the course of a training flight, leaving the ground during the taxi to take off, went into an uncontrolled rolling to the right; consequently the helicopter gradually laid down on the right side. The…
Stir casting technique has been used in the current study to process Al6061 reinforced with TiC particles of different concentrations. The processed compounds' composition of TiC and Al6061 has been verified by Energy Dispersive X-Ray…
Predicting the failure of carbon fiber composites remains a challenge due to the complex evolution of damage, where the collective behavior of defects like pores and microcracks dictates material strength. The objective of this work is to…
A detailed investigation was conducted into the fracture mechanisms of cylindrical specimens made of a polycrystalline heat-resistant nickel-based alloy XH73MBTU-VD (EI698-VD), under uniaxial tension in the temperature range of 25–700°C.…
Ultrasonic fatigue at an operating frequency of 20 kHz was conducted on thermally treated clay bricks at 500, 750, and 1000 °C with a holding time of 5 h, using a three-point bending setup to assess their fatigue endurance. A Vickers…
A present study reveals the influence of nano Al2O3 and ZrO2 reinforcements on the fracture toughness of Hybrid Metal matrix Composites (HMMCs) made of Al6061 alloy. Composites are synthesized by varying weight fraction of alumina and…
Series of geometrically similar concrete beam of small, medium and large beam sizes has been tested under the action of monotonic and fatigue loading. Digital image correlation technique has been utilized to understand the fracture…
This article deals with identifying defects of layered high strength steel materials with the help of tomography measurement. Test samples were made of S960 High Strength Steel to which layers of either aluminium bronze, hardchrome, cobalt…
Diffusion welding is an advanced joining process that assures the feasibility of joining dissimilar metal alloys without producing metallurgical impurities at the joint interface. Two significant aerospace alloys, AA2219 and Ti-6Al-4V, are…
