Book excerpt: Les alliages amorphes, ou verres métalliques, sont des matériaux relativement récents, datant au plus d'une cinquantaine d'années. Ils possèdent des propriétés mécaniques exceptionnelles (résistance, dureté, ténacité, énergie élastique stockée, ...) sans commune mesure avec celles de la plupart des alliages métalliques cristallins. Leur fragilité apparente en chargement uniaxial constitue toutefois un frein majeur à leur application à grande échelle et donc à leur industrialisation. Par ailleurs, les études sur le comportement à la fissuration et à la rupture des verres métalliques massifs rapportées dans la littérature sont à la fois peu nombreuses et très diverses dans leurs résultats. Face à ces problématiques, ces travaux de thèse sur les verres métalliques à base de zirconium ont deux objectifs principaux. Le premier consiste à étudier leurs mécanismes de déformation plastique par des essais hétérogènes. L'essai brésilien (ou de compression diamétrale) se révèle, dans ce contexte, efficace pour atteindre des niveaux élevés de déformation plastique à l'échelle macroscopique. Celui-ci permet également d'étudier à plus petite échelle la formation et la propagation des bandes de cisaillement et de quantifier les champs de déformation au cours du chargement par corrélation d'image. Les résultats montrent une bonne reproductibilité à ces deux échelles et offrent une meilleure estimation des déformations intenses se produisant dans les bandes de cisaillement. De plus, une identification basée sur cet essai couplé avec un autre essai hétérogène (nano-indentation) dans le but de discriminer des paramètres élastoplastiques montre qu'une loi de comportement de type von Mises n'est pas pertinente pour ce matériau. Le deuxième objectif de ces travaux vise à caractériser l'influence des défauts cristallins, liés à leur procédé d'élaboration et présents dans la matrice amorphe de nos verres métalliques, sur l'initiation et la propagation des fissures mais aussi sur leur rupture par des essais de flexion. La mesure de la ténacité et l'analyse fractographique des éprouvettes montrent que ces défauts facilitent la pré-fissuration, mais entrainent aussi une fragilisation de nos matériaux. Cette dernière propriété, i.e. la résistance à la fissuration ou ténacité, s'avère alors un bon moyen pour discriminer les différentes qualités de synthèse de ces alliages amorphes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Étude des mécanismes de la plasticité dans les verres métalliques massifs. Ce travail a porté sur une approche des mécanismes de la plasticité à la transition vitreuse dans les verres métalliques massifs base zirconium. Une étude bibliographique des verres métalliques, ses caractéristiques essentielles a été tout d'abord introduite, particulièrement orientée vers leurs propriétés de stabilité structurale, ainsi que vers leurs propriétés mécaniques à haute température. Le modèle de volume libre (selon l'approche de Spaepen) a été utilisé dans une modélisation par éléments finis de la plasticité du verre. Le verre métallique de composition Zr_{52,5}Cu_{22}Al_{10}Ni_{13}Ti_{2,5}, étudié dans cette thèse, est élaboré par différentes méthodes d'hypertrempe sous forme de barreaux et de rubans. Les caractérisations physico-chimiques ont été menées par DSC, DRX et MEB. Les résultats de DSC ont montré que les verres élaborés possèdent un large intervalle de transition vitreuse et une bonne stabilité thermique. L'étude couplant DSC et DRX à haute température a permis d'établir la nature des phases et leur ordre d'apparition en cours de cristallisation. La transition vitreuse et la cristallisation ont été étudiées en détail par DSC modulée (MDSC) par la suite. La cinétique de cristallisation du verre a été généralement analysée par DSC isotherme.La caractérisation de la relaxation du verre métallique à partir de traitements thermiques successifs, par DSC et DRX à température proche de la température de transition vitreuse T_g pendant des temps différents, est rapportée dans le quatrième chapitre. Ce phénomène de relaxation peut être observé directement par les études structurales en utilisant la DSC et la diffraction des rayons X. Ensuite, l'évolution de la relaxation du verre est étudiée par mesure de dureté et de densité. La variation de la dureté H_v par rapport à la profondeur de pénétrateur h, après les traitements thermiques, a été menée par micro-dureté. La mesure de volumique du verre Zr_{52,5}Cu_{22}Al_{10}Ni_{13}Ti_{2,5} a été menée après les différents temps de relaxation thermique, nous donnent une densité d'environ de 6,769g/cm^3. Les traitements thermiques isothermes sur ce verre ont montré une augmentation de sa densité au cours du temps. Afin d'observer l'apparition puis l'évolution des mécanismes de déformation dans le verre métallique à l'échelle locale, une nouvelle technique - lithographie électronique - avec un dispositif d'essai mécanique in situ, permettant de déposer des microgrilles à la surface d'une éprouvette et de réaliser un essai de compression dans un MEB, est présentée dans le cinquième chapitre. Puis, les résultats sont analysés par corrélation d'images. La démarche expérimentale des essais MEB in situ est détaillée dans ce chapitre.Des essais à vitesse de déformation constante sont présentées dans le chapitre suivant. Ils ont été conduits dans l'intervalle de transition vitreuse (entre 673K et 713K). Enfin, les études de champs de déformation par corrélation d'image ont montré une limite de détection de la localisation supérieure à 2 micromètre sur les cartes de déformation. S'il y a des bandes de cisaillement, soit leurs déformation en inférieure à celles due à l'oxydation, soit elles sont plus fines que 2 micromètre (échelle de mesure). Le dernier chapitre présente une modélisation pour décrire le comportement élastique et plastique des verres métalliques. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, une approche de la modélisation des essais mécanique en se basant sur le modèle du volume libre a été conduite à l'aide du logiciel ZéBulon. Des travaux préliminaires pour étudier la localisation dans le cadre du volume libre ont été conduits et vont nécessiter une étude plus poussée.Mots clef : verre métallique, transition vitreuse, relaxation structurale, volume libre, caractérisation, micro-dureté, lithographie, compression, MEB in situ, modélisation.

Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Download or read book Flexoelectricity in Liquid Crystals written by Agnes Buka and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals. Chapters written by experts in the field shed light on theoretical as well as experimental aspects of research carried out since the discovery of flexoelectricity. Besides a common macroscopic (continuum) description the microscopic theory of flexoelectricity is also addressed. Electro-optic effects due to or modified by flexoelectricity as well as various (direct and indirect) measurement methods are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the role of flexoelectricity in pattern-forming instabilities. While the main focus of the book lies in flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals, peculiarities of other mesophases (bent-core systems, cholesterics, and smectics) are also reviewed. Flexoelectricity has relevance to biological (living) systems and can also offer possibilities for technical applications. The basics of these two interdisciplinary fields are also summarized.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute for Amorphous Studies was founded in 1982 as the international center for the investigation of amorphous mate rials. It has since played an important role in promoting the und er standing of disordered matter in general. An Institute lecture series on "Fundamentals of Amorphous Materials and Devices" was held during 1982-83 with distinguished speakers from universities and industry. These events were free and open to the public ,and were attended by many representatives of the scientific community. The lectures themselves were highly successful inasmuch as they provided not only formal instruction but also an opportunity for vigorous and stimulating debate. That last element could not be captured within the pages of a book I but the lectures concentrated on the latest advances in the field I which is why their essential contents are he re reproduced in collective form. Together they constitute an interdisciplinary status report of the field. The speakers brought many different viewpoints and a variety of back ground experiences io bear on the problems involved I but though language and conventions vary I the essential unity of the concerns is very clear I as indeed are the ultimate benefits of the many-sided approach.
Download or read book Enhanced Abutment Scour Studies for Compound Channels written by Terry W. Sturm and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental results and analyses are given in this report on bridge abutment scour in compound channels. Experiments were conducted in a laboratory flume with a cross section consisting of a wide floodplain adjacent to a main channel. The embankment length, discharge, sediment size, and abutment shape were varied, and the resulting equilibrium scour depths were measured. Water-surface profiles, velocities, and scour-hole contours were also measured. In the report, a methodology is developed for estimating abutment scour that takes into account the redistribution of discharge in the bridge contraction, abutment shape, sediment size, and tailwater depth. The independant variables in the proposed scour formula are evaluated at the approach-channel cross section and can be obtained froma one-dimensional water-surface profile computer program such as the Water-Surface Profile Program (WSPRO). The proposed scour evaluation procedure is outlined and illustrated, including consideration of the time required to reach equilibrium scour. The proposed methodology is applied to two cases of measured scour in the field.
