General Motors-AISI AAC Advanced High Strength Steel Repairability Study Phase I Final Report Introduction The introduction of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) to light vehicle body structure applications poses a significant challenge to organizations involved in the repair of vehicle structures. AHSS are typically produced by nontraditional thermal cycles and contain microstructural components whose mechanical properties can be altered by exposure to elevated temperatures. This temperature

Title: Tensile properties and microstructural analysis of spheroidized hydroxyapatite- poly (etheretherketone) biocomposites Authors: M.s. Abu Bakar‚ P. Cheang‚ K.A. Khor Journal: Materials Science and Engineering A345 (2003) 55-63. In the present article‚ the authors investigate the use of flame spheroidized hydroxyapatite particulates in a PEEK polymer for usage as bone analogue materials. Metallic implants have been used for orthopedic implants in the past‚ but polymeric implants have

Split-tensile Strength The splitting tests are well known indirect tests‚ were conducted as per IS 5816:1999 and used in the concrete tensile strength determination sometimes called split tensile strength of concrete. The size of cylinder is 300mm length with 150mm diameter or 200mm with 100mm diameter. The specimen were kept in water for curing for 3 days‚ 7 days and 21 days and on test day remove and allow the surface to dry. The test is performed out by placing a cylindrical specimen horizontally

stress can be classified as normal stress‚ shear stress‚ and bearing stress. Normal stress develops when a force is applied perpendicular to the cross-sectional area of the material. If the force is going to pull the material‚ the stress is said to be tensile stress and compressive stress develops when the material is being compressed by two opposing forces. Shear stress is developed if the applied force is parallel to the resisting area. Example is the bolt that holds the tension rod in its anchor. Another

While working on the bridge‚ I was asking how do congruent structures give strength to bridges in real life? I think congruent structures give strength to the bridge because triangles have their rigid shape and strength. Unlike a square‚ that can shift into a parallelogram when force is applied to one of its sides‚ an equilateral triangle’s sides and angles are fixed. For example‚ triangles have beam which are the rigid shapes that helps the abutments of the bridge. When triangles supports the abutments

Strength of concrete Chapter 6 Properties of concrete :- Strength Durability Impermeability Volume stability Strength of concrete is the most valuable property. What is strength? Strength depends on the physical structure and volume of hydration products. Therefore it gives an idea of the quality of concrete. Note :- strength depends less on the chemical composition of the paste and more on the physical structure

This suggests that HIPS withstand impact strength best‚ followed by High density polyethylene (HDPE)‚ General Purpose polystyrene (GPPS) and Polypropylene (PP) in descending order. The reason why HIPS has a higher impact strength than HDPE is because

how a material will react under other types of forces. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength‚ maximum elongation and reduction in area. From these measurements the following properties can also be determined: young’s modulus‚ poison ratio‚ yield strength‚ and strain hardening characteristics. 3.The tension tester A machine which applies a tensile force (a force applied in opposite directions) to the specimen‚ and then measures that force and also
