Book Influence de la microstructure sur le comportement local dans les aciers 16MND5

Download or read book Influence de la microstructure sur le comportement local dans les aciers 16MND5 written by Seddik Sekfali and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'acier 16MND5 ou A508 C13 est utilisé pour la fabrication par forgeage des cuves de réacteurs nucléaires à eau sous pression. Ce matériau présente un bon compromis en terme de ténacité et de limite d'élasticité, sa microstructure est principalement bainitique revenue. Du fait de la variation locale de la composition chimique et du procédé d'élaboration, ce matériau présente des hétérogénéités microstructurales qui peuvent modifier localement les propriétés du point de vue de l'endommagement. En particulier, certaines zones présentent une microstructure martensitique dont les propriétés à la rupture sont différentes de celles de la bainite. Le but de cette thèse est d'apporter quelques éclaircissements sur l'influence de la microstructure; plus particulièrement, la taille des entités cristallographiques et leur distribution spatiale sur le comportement local de l'acier 16MND5. Deux microstructures ont été élaborées à cet effet ; une microstructure bainitique revenue et une microstructure martensitique revenue. Une caractérisation expérimentale a été réalisée sur les deux microstructures afin de déterminer la morphologie, la distribution spatiale des orientations cristallographiques et le comportement en traction. Un dépôt de grille a été effectué sur des éprouvettes de traction plates pour permettre de déterminer le champ déformation expérimental sur une zone préalablement analysée en EBSD. La détermination du comportement en traction a permis l'identification, à l'aide d'une méthode inverse, d'une loi de comportement multicristalline faisant intervenir la densité de dislocation sur chaque système de glissement. Cette loi de comportement a été utilisée dans des simulations à l'aide de la méthode des éléments finis pour simuler le comportement des deux microstructures en traction et comparer aux champs de déformations expérimentaux de celles-ci. Il en résulte une bonne adéquation entre les simulations et les expériences et la mise en évidence de l'influence de l'orientation des grains voisins sur le comportement local

Book Bifurcation and Stability of Dissipative Systems

Download or read book Bifurcation and Stability of Dissipative Systems written by Q.S. Nguyen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first theme concerns the plastic buckling of structures in the spirit of Hill’s classical approach. Non-bifurcation and stability criteria are introduced and post-bifurcation analysis performed by asymptotic development method in relation with Hutchinson’s work. Some recent results on the generalized standard model are given and their connection to Hill’s general formulation is presented. Instability phenomena of inelastic flow processes such as strain localization and necking are discussed. The second theme concerns stability and bifurcation problems in internally damaged or cracked colids. In brittle fracture or brittle damage, the evolution law of crack lengths or damage parameters is time-independent like in plasticity and leads to a similar mathematical description of the quasi-static evolution. Stability and non-bifurcation criteria in the sense of Hill can be again obtained from the discussion of the rate response.

Book Non Linear Mechanics of Materials

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.

Book Temperature Fatigue Interaction

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception in 1991, EUROMAT has been held each year on behalf of the Federation of European Materials Societies (FEMS), and alternates between general and topical prospectives. This year's theme, Advances in Mechanical Behaviour, Plasticity and Damage, was proposed by the Societe Francaise de Metallurgie et de Materiaux (SF2M) to FEMS.This publication contains a selection of papers presented at the EUROMAT 2000 Conference, held in Tours, France on 7-9 November 2000. The aim of this Conference was to concentrate mainly on recent advances made in the investigation of the relationship between microstructures of materials and their mechanical behaviour; including, fundamentals, modelling and applications. Encompassed in the Conference's aim is the nurturing of the synergistic effect between the theoretical and applied areas in this field. This was achieved by addressing important basic and practical aspects of the mechanical behaviour and damage of materials whilst also providing significant links between various complementary approaches. All kinds of materials are covered and topics that were covered include the mechanics of solid polymers, microstructurs and micromechanisms, and the collective behavior of defects which looks at the interaction of multiple defects in a system.
