Temperature control during Spark Plasma Sintering and application to up-scaling and complex shaping
2013
International audience; The determination and the homogeneity of the sample temperature during consolidation of powders by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) are addressed. Densifications were carried out in three different facilities differing by their constructors and their size. A structural transformation activated in a TiAl alloy was used as a marker of the sample temperature and finite element modeling were performed to evaluate the temperature at each point of the set-up. A good agreement between experimental and simulated data is exhibited. Alloys with identical microstructures were sintered and the homogeneity of the microstructure was better in the largest machines or when the sample wa…
One-Dimensional Hypersonic Phononic Crystals
2010
We report experimental observation of a normal incidence phononic band gap in one-dimensional periodic (SiO(2)/poly(methyl methacrylate)) multilayer film at gigahertz frequencies using Brillouin spectroscopy. The band gap to midgap ratio of 0.30 occurs for elastic wave propagation along the periodicity direction, whereas for inplane propagation the system displays an effective medium behavior. The phononic properties are well captured by numerical simulations. The porosity in the silica layers presents a structural scaffold for the introduction of secondary active media for potential coupling between phonons and other excitations, such as photons and electrons.
WEAR PERFORMANCE OF CERAMIC CUTTING-TOOL MATERIALS WHEN CUTTING STEEL
1991
Abstract Some test cycles have been carried out in continuous cutting conditions, employing cutting parameters (feed, depth of cut and cutting speed) chosen following experimental planes and suitable test fields. The wear tests have been carried out on AISI 1040 steel with cutting speeds from 5m/sec to 11m/sec. The silicon nitride, sintered carbide, cubic boron nitride and alumina reinforced with SiC whiskers inserts, have shown, at each assigned cutting parameter, poor wear resistance when cutting steel. Alumina and alumina in submicron grain, which has been toughened by ZrO2 phase transformation, and the oxide-based alumina, have been the better wear resistance. The mixed based alumina ha…
Composite layer-based analytical models for tool–chip interface temperatures in machining medium carbon steels with multi-layer coated cutting tools
2006
Abstract This investigation is devoted to the thermal problems in dry orthogonal turning of a C45 medium carbon steel with natural contact tools treated with multi-layer coatings with an intermediate Al 2 O 3 layer. New hybrid analytical models for estimating heat partition to the chip and the tool–chip interface temperatures were proposed. Furthermore, the physics-based modelling concept, which applies composite layer approach was developed to estimate the average and maximum steady-state tool–chip interface temperatures in orthogonal turning. The model predictions were compared to appropriate experimental process data using natural tool-work thermocouples and other simulated and measured …
Transverse chemical interface detection with coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy
2011
International audience; Transverse "chemical" interfaces are revealed with a conventional two beam narrowband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy setup in a collinear configuration. The exciting "pump" and "Stokes" beams are focused on the sample in two opposite directions. The subtraction of the two generated anti-Stokes signals gives rise to a signal that is directly proportional to the pure Raman spectrum of the resonant medium. This property is used to highlight an interface between glass and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and recover the pure Raman spectrum of DMF around its 1408 cm−1 vibrational band.
Ab Initio Simulation of Attosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy in Two-Dimensional Materials
2018
We extend the first-principles analysis of attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to two-dimensional materials. As an example of two-dimensional materials, we apply the analysis to monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and compute its transient optical properties under intense few-cycle infrared laser pulses. Nonadiabatic features are observed in the computed transient absorption spectra. To elucidate the microscopic origin of these features, we analyze the electronic structure of h-BN with density functional theory and investigate the dynamics of specific energy bands with a simple two-band model. Finally, we find that laser-induced intraband transitions play a significant role in…
The development of nature-inspired gripping system of a flat CFRP strip for stress-ribbon structural layout
2021
Abstract The elegant stress-ribbon systems are efficient in pedestrian bridges and long-span roofs. Numerous studies defined corrosion of the steel ribbons as the main drawback of these structures. Unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a promising alternative to steel because of lightweight, high strength, and excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance. However, the application of CFRP materials faced severe problems due to the construction of the anchorage joints, which must resist tremendous axial forces acting in the stress-ribbons. Conventional techniques, suitable for the typical design of the strips made from anisotropic material such as steel, are not useful for СF…
CFD prediction of bubble behavior in two-dimensional gas-solid fluidized beds
2009
This work focuses on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of a laboratory-scale, two-dimensional fluidized bed and the relevant experiments in order to validate the prediction capability of the adopted codes and models. Both experimental and computational quantitative data were analyzed by means of an original digital image analysis technique, allowing for coherent comparison of computational and experimental results. In particular, this work analyzes the capability of the CFD simulations in predicting the fluctuating behavior of bubbling fluidized beds by means of frequency analysis of bubble-related phenomena.
Damage accumulation under variable amplitude loading of welded medium- and high-strength steels
2004
Abstract The paper presents the calculation of cumulative damage for two types of welded joints (butt weld and transverse stiffeners) of four steels (medium to high strength): S355N, S355M, S690Q and S960Q. This calculation is based on experimental data obtained under axial loading and bending with constant and variable amplitudes (Gaussian distribution and Gauss with overload spectrum). The experiments were performed under fully reversed ( R =−1) and pulsating ( R =0) loading. The fatigue life is calculated using the modifications of the Palmgren–Miner–Original rule, according to the Palmgren–Miner–Elementary method, as well as to Haibach’s suggestion. The fatigue life does not depend on t…
A theoretical and experimental study to point out the notion of loading mode in damage mechanicsApplication to the identification and validation of a…
2002
A model of fatigue-induced intralaminar cracking in strongly anisotropic laminates is presented. The features of the microscopic phenomenon are explicitly taken into account at the macroscopic level by the use of two variables, which define a new concept in Damage Mechanics that results not only in a coherent model of crack density evolution, but also in a coherent treatment of damage deactivation. Damage evolution indeed is strongly dependent on the local loading mode in each ply where cracking occurs. Experiments on complex lay-ups provided sufficient data for complete calibration of the model. These tests also allowed to validate the theoretical choice of the damage variable. Finally, nu…
