Summary: This paper presents an innovative technique for measuring the bond stress-slip relationships during dynamic pull-out using a tensile split Hopkinson bar and a near-to-full-scale beam-end specimen. The complex wave propagation behavior during impact is characterized and two methods for separating the longitudinal stress waves are employed. The method is considered suitable for evaluating the dynamic bond stress-slip relationship.

Summary: This study investigates the ballistic resistances of two high-entropy alloys, CrMnFeCoNi and CrFeCoNi, and reveals that the presence of active dislocations generated at higher strain rates significantly contributes to their ability to resist high-speed deformation. The alloy with stronger atomic bonding and higher dislocation densities, CrFeCoNi, exhibits enhanced toughness and ballistic resistance compared to CrMnFeCoNi, which has weaker atomic bonding and is more prone to dislocation tangling.

Summary: There is still room for improvements in material characterization at high strain rates, particularly in understanding the interactions between strain, strain rate, and temperature effects. This study analyzed the behavior of A2-70 stainless steel at different strain rates and temperatures, highlighting how strain rate and temperature sensitivities affect necking onset and hardening. The experimental results showed that inertia effect plays a secondary role in necking onset, and parameters based on specimen diameter can quantify the approximation intrinsic to simplified calculations.

Summary: A synthetic method for identifying hydrodynamic coefficients (HCs) of an ocean vehicle through dynamic testing has been proposed, using a stationary numerical domain to preserve grid quality. Validation of the method was done using pure sway and pure yaw tests, with results in good agreement with experimental data. The method has the capability to derive both linear and non-linear HCs, and has been found to be comparable in efficiency to other approaches.

Summary: High-flow oxygen therapy using a tracheostomy tube is a promising clinical approach to reduce the work of breathing in tracheostomized patients. However, the effects of tracheostomy tube connectors on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) are still unknown. This study developed a platform to assess PEEP under respiration by coupling three-dimensional simulation of airflow in a tracheostomy tube connector with a lumped lung model. Numerical simulations showed that the geometrical parameters of the connector have an impact on PEEP.

Summary: Based on molecular dynamic simulation, the microstructure and tensile strength of TC4 titanium alloy with nanocrystalline model were studied. The Hall-Petch relationship was observed for grain sizes larger than 15 nm, where the resistance to intragranular deformation is proportional to the grain size. However, for grain sizes smaller than 15 nm, a smaller grain size leads to a smaller resistance to intergranular deformation due to grain boundary migration and diffusion, resulting in an inverse Hall-Petch relationship. Heat treatment modeling showed that decreasing the fraction of grain boundary atoms increased the maximum tensile strength. Additionally, the fraction of well-ordered atoms increased, causing growth of existing grains and nucleation of minor BCC grains from the grain boundary region. ©2023 Elsevier B.V.

Summary: Ring rolling is an advanced metal forming process used to produce seamless rings. The distribution of strain and temperature in the ring cross-sections affects the evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties. Ti-6Al-4V alloy preforms were rolled at elevated temperature under different roll feed rates. The microstructure and tensile response of the rings were evaluated, showing that the feed rate had a marginal effect on the microstructure but significant differences in grain sizes and texture evolution in different regions of the ring cross-section. The tensile strength of the ring varied with location according to the microstructural heterogeneity. This study provides important information for quality control and technical guidance in designing the ring rolling process for Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

Summary: Through uniaxial tensile tests and microstructure observations, it was found that the ultimate strength of 2195 aluminum alloy increased with decreasing temperature, while the elongation increase was insignificant. The fracture surface exhibited enhanced tearing ridges and decreased dimple characteristics at cryogenic temperatures. The increase in dislocation density quantitatively characterized by the modified Williamson-Hall method was consistent with the increase in tensile strength, indicating that the generation of more dislocations during deformation contributes to the increased strength at cryogenic temperatures.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the dynamic splitting tensile properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibre reinforced engineered cementitious composites (ECC) exposed to temperatures up to 800 degrees C. Tests were conducted to analyze various properties including weight loss, elastic modulus, tensile properties, splitting tensile behavior, pore pressure, chemical evolution, and microstructural evolution of ECC. The results show that the dynamic splitting tensile properties of ECC increase with increasing strain rate regardless of temperature, and reach maximum values at 105 degrees C due to enhanced fibre-matrix bond and further hydration of fly ash. However, the dynamic tensile properties of ECC decrease at temperatures above 250 degrees C due to melting of PVA fibres, thermally induced microcracks, and dehydration of hydration products. At 800 degrees C, the dynamic splitting tensile strength and dissipated energy of ECC significantly decrease compared to room temperature. Additionally, the main role in resisting dynamic loading in ECC gradually shifts from fibre debonding-elongating action to crack propagation at temperatures above 400 degrees C, leading to a change in failure patterns.

Summary: The primary focus of this study was to investigate the fracture mechanism of aluminum/steel laser-arc welded-brazed joints under different loading conditions. The use of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) allowed for the recording of the fracture process during tensile and fatigue tests, while the Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to analyze stress distributions. The results showed that the weld reinforcement improved the mechanical properties of the joints and enhanced fatigue properties. The study highlighted the importance of understanding the fracture mechanism for developing reliable aluminum/steel structures.
