Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributed by world-renowned specialists on the occasion of Paul Germain's 80th birthday, this unique book reflects the foundational works and the intellectual influence of this author. It presents the realm of modern thermomechanics with its extraordinary wealth of applications to the behaviour of materials, whether solid or fluid. The thirty-one contributions follow an easygoing autobiographical sketch by Paul Germain, and highlight the power and richness of a methodological approach to the phenomenology of many materials. This approach combines harmoniously thermodynamics and continuum theory in order to provide exploitable, thermodynamically admissible models of a large variety of behaviours and phenomena, including those of diffusion, thermoelasticity, viscoplasticity, relaxation, hysteresis, wetting, shape-memory effects, growth, phase transitions, stability, fracture, shocks, machining of materials, microstructured solids, complex fluids, etc. Especially aimed at graduate students, researchers, and engineers in mechanical engineering and materials science, this book also presents the state of the art in an active field of research and opens new horizons in other scientific fields, such as applied mathematics and applied physics, because of the intellectual satisfaction and remarkable efficiency provided by the advocated approach.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'utilisation des alliages d'aluminium pour les composants du groupe moto propulseur, en particulier les alliages à durcissement structural Aluminium-Silicium-Magnesium-Cuivre pour les culasses Diesel, s'est généralisée depuis les vingt dernières années, du fait de leur faible densité et leur excellente conductivité thermique. Ces alliages sont soumis, tout au long de la vie de la culasse, à de forts chargements thermomécaniques induisant une évolution progressive de la microstructure de précipitation et du comportement viscoplastique du matériau. L'objectif de cette étude est donc, au moyen d'une étude de la précipitation et du comportement mécanique, de corréler l'évolution de la microstructure de précipitation à celle du comportement mécanique pour ensuite proposer un modèle de comportement viscoplastique permettant, par l'intégration de paramètres métallurgiques et microstructuraux, de rendre compte de l'influence de la microstructure de précipitation sur le comportement mécanique. Cette étude est menée sur deux alliages présentant chacun une composition en cuivre et magnésium distincte. L'analyse des microstructures par microscopie électronique en transmission a permis de rendre compte de l'évolution de la microstructure de précipitation. Celle-ci a été quantifiée pour des traitements isothermes de vieillissement pour une gamme de température allant de 200 à 300°C. Les analyses ont mises en évidence une forte évolution de la précipitation, sensible sur l'ensemble des paramètres morphologiques, cristallographiques et chimiques de la microstructure. L'étude comparative de la cinétique de précipitation sur les deux alliages a, de plus, permis de mieux comprendre les interactions existant entre morphologie de la précipitation, mécanisme de croissance et stabilité thermique. Pour l'étude du comportement viscoplastique, nous nous sommes attachés à évaluer l'influence de la microstructure de précipitation au moyen d'une importante base expérimentale couvrant une large gamme de température, d'amplitude de déformation et de vitesse de déformation inélastique. La compréhension du comportement viscoplastique et de l'influence de la microstructure de précipitation a été facilitée par l'utilisation d'une analyse par partitionnement des composantes de l'écrouissage. L'interaction existant entre les paramètres géométriques de la précipitation, la composante isotrope et la composante cinématique de l'écrouissage a ainsi clairement été mise en évidence. L'analyse de l'influence des temps de maintien en déformation sur la composante cinématique de l'écrouissage a permis d'autre part de démontrer une relaxation systématique des contraintes internes associée à la montée des boucles de dislocations autour des précipités. A partir des analyses expérimentales, une loi de comportement a été proposée. Celle-ci est basée sur les densités de dislocations et propose, par une utilisation explicite des paramètres de la microstructure de précipitation (distance entre précipités, fraction volumique de précipités...) de rendre compte du rôle de la microstructure de précipitation sur le comportement mécanique. La modélisation s'appuie de plus sur le développement d'une loi d'écoulement originale, adaptée aux mécanismes d'écoulement plastique présents aux hautes températures dans les alliages à phases dispersées, en particulier à la montée des dislocations. Cette modélisation permet ainsi une très bonne description du comportement viscoplastique observé à 10-3 s-1 et présente de plus, une sensibilité à la microstructure de précipitation relativement convenable. De plus, l'analyse de la variation des paramètres en température présente une évolution tout à fait physique permettant ainsi de relier un certain nombre de variables ajustables - notamment celles de la loi d'écoulement - aux activations thermiques du glissement et de la montée des dislocations. La physique de l'écoulement plastique étant convenablement retranscrite, le modèle constitue ainsi un outil intéressant pour tester l'influence des paramètres microstructuraux sur le comportement mécanique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La présente étude, réalisée en collaboration avec Montupet vise à étudier les alliages d'aluminium de fonderie fortement chargés en éléments résiduels pour une application dans la fabrication des culasses automobiles. Les caractérisations microstructurales et mécaniques ont permis d'obtenir une composition optimale d'un alliage d'un alliage fortement chargé en éléments résiduels (AS9U3G). Ensuite des essais de fatigue, de traction, et de microdureté ont été effectués et les résultats sont analysés en relation avec l'évolution de la microstructure. L'ensemble de ces données a été comparé et discuté tant d'un point de vue macroscopique que microscopique à celles obtenues pour l'alliage classique AS7U3G. Il a été montré que si le comportement mécanique des deux alliages reste voisin en l'absence d'endommagement, en revanche, l'évolution de la précipitation durcissante est différente à partir de l'état T5. Enfin la durée de vie de l'AS9U3G reste fortement influencée par la présence de nombreux composés intermétalliques qui sont des sites d'amorçages de fissures.

Download or read book Non Linear Mechanics of Materials written by Jacques Besson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In mechanical engineering and structural analysis there is a significant gap between the material models currently used by engineers for industry applications and those already available in research laboratories. This is especially apparent with the huge progress of computational possibilities and the corresponding dissemination of numerical tools in engineering practice, which essentially deliver linear solutions. Future improvements of design and life assessment methods necessarily involve non-linear solutions for inelastic responses, in plasticity or viscoplasticity, as well as damage and fracture analyses. The dissemination of knowledge can be improved by software developments, data base completion and generalization, but also by information and training. With such a perspective Non-Linear Mechanics of Materials proposes a knowledge actualization, in order to better understand and use recent material constitutive and damage modeling methods in the context of structural analysis or multiscale material microstructure computations.

Download or read book Temperature Fatigue Interaction written by L. Remy and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-03-11 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Temperature-Fatigue Interaction, held in Paris, May 29-31, 2001, organised by the Fatigue Committee of the Societé Française de Métallurgie et de Matériaux (SF2M), under the auspices of the European Structural Integrity Society. The conference disseminated recent research results and promoting the interaction and collaboration amongst materials scientists, mechanical engineers and design engineers. Many engineering components and structures used in the automotive, aerospace, power generation and many other industries experience cyclic mechanical loads at high temperature or temperature transients causing thermally induced stresses. The increase of operating temperature and thermal mechanical loading trigger the interaction with time-dependent phenomena such as creep and environmental effects (oxidation, corrosion). A large number of metallic materials were investigated including aluminium alloys for the automotive industry, steels and cast iron for the automotive industry and materials forming, stainless steels for power plants, titanium, composites, intermetallic alloys and nickel base superalloys for aircraft industry, polymers. Important progress was observed in testing practice for high temperature behaviour, including environment and thermo-mechanical loading as well as in observation techniques. A large problem which was emphasized is to know precisely service loading cycles under non-isothermal conditions. This was considered critical for numerous thermal fatigue problems discussed in this conference.
