Experimental studies on uniaxial and echibiaxial tensile tests applied to plastic materials sheets
2019
Abstract The main objective of this paper is to determine the behavior of few plastic materials using two different type of tests. We use classical uniaxial tensile test to determine the most important mechanical and elastic characteristics, such as: yield stress, Young modulus, tangent modulus, maximum stress and maximum strain and to plot engineering stress vs. engineering strain curve for these materials. The second test, that was used in this study, was echibiaxial tensile test on the spherical punch. This test was used to determine maximum breaking force and, of course maximum displacement of specimen on punch direction and others few important characteristics, such as: major and minor…
Corrosion of Welded Metal Structures of Mining Equipment
2018
Mining equipment made of welded metal structures is strongly affected by the corrosion phenomenon due to the working conditions. Initial research has shown that the corrosion phenomenon is most pronounced in the area of cross-welded joints and welded T-shaped joints. In the researches, there was made a chemical analysis of the welded construction material used respectively of the new material and it was observed a reduction in carbon concentration in the material used, but also a substantial increase in the sulfur concentration compared to the new material. The pronounced corrosion of the metallic structure is influenced by the chemical composition change because the sulfur is a grafitizin…
X-ray and dielectric characterization of Co doped tetragonal BaTiO3 ceramics
2016
ABSTRACTThe crystal structure modifications of BaTiO3 induced by cobalt doping were studied. The polycrystalline (1 − x)BaTiO3 + xCo2O3 samples, with x ≤ 10 wt.%, were prepared by high temperature sintering conventional method. According to X-ray phase and structural characterization, performed by full-profile Rietveld refinement technique, all synthesized samples showed tetragonal symmetry perovskite structure with minor amount of parasitic phases. Pure single-phase composition has been detected only in the low level of doping BaTiO3. It was indicated that substitution of Co for the Ti sites in the (1 − x)BaTiO3 + xCo2O3 series led to decrease of tetragonality (c/a) of the BaTiO3 perovskit…
Enhancement of the dielectric response through Al-substitution in La1.6Sr0.4NiO4 nickelates
2016
The structures and dielectric properties of La1.6Sr0.4Ni1−xAlxO4 (x = 0, 0.2 and 0.4) ceramics elaborated using the Pechini method were studied for the first time. The same unique tetragonal phase was found in all compounds. The lattice parameters were found using Rietveld refinement. The surface morphology characterization and elemental analysis of these samples were respectively carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). A giant dielectric response was observed in these ceramics, and one dielectric relaxation was found. The substitution of nickel with aluminum results in a colossal dielectric constant value (>106). The dielectric l…
Modelling of thermal field and point defect dynamics during silicon single crystal growth using CZ technique
2018
Abstract Silicon single crystal growth by the Czochralski (CZ) technique is studied numerically using non-stationary mathematical models which allow to predict the evolution of the CZ system in time, including Dash neck, cone and cylindrical growth stages. The focus is on the point defect dynamics, also considering the effect of the thermal stresses. During the cylindrical stage, the crystal pull rate is temporarily reduced as in experiments by Abe et al. The crystal radius and heater power change is explicitly considered in the calculations for crystal diameters of 50, 100 and 200 mm and the agreement with experiments is discussed.
Effect of process parameters and crystal orientation on 3D anisotropic stress during CZ and FZ growth of silicon
2017
Abstract Simulations of 3D anisotropic stress are carried out in and oriented Si crystals grown by FZ and CZ processes for different diameters, growth rates and process stages. Temperature dependent elastic constants and thermal expansion coefficients are used in the FE simulations. The von Mises stress at the triple point line is ~5–11% higher in crystals compared to crystals. The process parameters have a larger effect on the von Mises stress than the crystal orientation. Generally, the crystal has a higher azimuthal variation of stress along the triple point line (~8%) than the crystal (~2%). The presence of a crystal ridge increases the stress beside the ridge and decreases it on the ri…
High spatial resolution strain measurements at the surface of duplex stainless steels
2007
International audience; The determination of local strain fields at the surface of materials is of major importance for understanding their reactivity. In the present paper, lithography is used to fabricate grid points at the microscale and to map strain gradients within grains and between grains. This method was applied to duplex stainless steels which exhibit heterogeneous strain distributions under straining conditions. The influence of various parameters (the specimen microstructure, the density of slip bands, the number of systems activated and the grid geometry) on the strain value was discussed.

Deformation of bubbles in silicon gel insulation under an alternating electric field
2019
The behavior of silicone gel under electrical stress plays a significant role in the reliability and durability of high voltage electronic power devices due to its widespread use for the insulation of IGBT modules and other components. The charges accumulation at the bubble boundaries leads to significant displacements due to the establishment of Coulombic forces and the high deformability of colloidal system. The main purpose of this work is to validate a numerical approach useful to investigate, for a given silicone gel, the non-linear relation between the applied HVDC stress and the electric field over an air bubble within the insulation bulk. The analysis has been carried out by means o…
Kinetic instabilities in pulsed operation mode of a 14 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source
2016
The occurrence of kinetic plasma instabilities is studied in pulsed operation mode of a 14 GHz Aelectron cyclotron resonance type electron cyclotron resonance ion source. It is shown that the temporal delay between the plasma breakdown and the appearance of the instabilities is on the order of 10- 100 ms. The most important parameters affecting the delay are magnetic field strength and neutral gas pressure. It is demonstrated that kinetic instabilities limit the high charge state ion beam production in the unstable operating regime. peerReviewed
