  • The corrosion of steel rebars has been the major cause of the reinforced concrete deterioration. It is FRP rebar that is developed to solve problem of such steel rebar. FRP rebar in concrete structures should be used as a substitute of steel rebars for that cases in which aggressive environment produce high steel corrosion, or lightweight is an important design factor, or transportation cost increase significantly with the weight of the materials. But FRP rebar have only linearly elastic behavior; whereas, steel rebar has linear elastic behavior up to the yield point followed by large plastic deformation and strain hardening. Thus, the current FRP rebars are not suitable concrete reinforcement where a large amount of plastic deformation prior to collapse in required. The main objective of this study was to develop new type of hybrid FRP rebar. The manufacture of the hybrid FRP rebar was achieved pultrusion, braiding and filament winding techniques. Tensile and interlaminar shear test results of hybrid FRP rebar can provide its excellent tensile strength-strain behavior and interlaminar stress-strain behavior.

  • This paper reports the irradiation effect on the deformation behavior and tensile fracture properties of A533B RPV steel. An inverse identification technique using iterative finite element (FE) simulation was used to determine those properties from tensile data for the A533B RPV steel irradiated at 65 to $100^{\circ}C$ and deformed at room temperature. FE simulation revealed that the plastic instability at yield followed by softening for higher doses was related to the occurrence of localized necking immediately after yielding. The strain-hardening rate in the equivalent true stress-true strain relationship was still positive during the necking deformation. The tensile fracture stress was less dependent on the irradiation dose, whereas the tensile fracture strain and fracture energy decreased with increasing dose level up to 0.1 dpa and then became saturated. However, the tensile fracture strain and fracture energy still remained high after high-dose irradiation, which is associated with a large amount of ductility during the necking deformation for irradiated A533B RPV steel.

  • The strain aging behavior of a low carbon dual phase steel was examined in two conditions: representing room temperature strain aging (100 ℃ × 1 hr after 7.5 % prestrain) and bake hardening process (170 ℃ × 20 min after 2 % prestrain), basing on carbon effective diffusion and dislocation distribution. The first principle calculations revealed that (Mn or Cr)-vacancy-C complexes exhibit the strongest attractive interaction compared to other complexes, therefore, act as strong trapping sites for carbon. For room temperature strain aging condition, the carbon effective diffusion distance is smaller than the dislocation distance in the high dislocation density region near ferrite/martensite interfaces as well as ferrite interior considering the carbon trapping effect of the (Mn or Cr)-vacancy-C complexes, implying ineffective Cottrell atmosphere formation. Under bake hardening condition, the carbon effective diffusion distance is larger compared to the dislocation distance in both regions. Therefore, formation of the Cottrell atmosphere is relatively easy resulting in to a relatively large increase in yield strength under bake hardening condition.

  • In the present study, the effect of microporosity on the tensile properties of as-cast AZ91D magnesium alloy was investigated through experimental observation and numerical prediction. The test specimens were fabricated by die-casting and gravity-casting. For gravity-casting, the inoculation and use of various metallic moulds were applied to obtain a wide range of microporosity. The deficiency of the interdendritic feeding of the liquid phase acted as d dominant mechanism on the formation of the micropores in the Mg-Al-alloys, rather than the evolution of hydrogen gas. Although tensile strength and elongation has a nonlinear and very intensive dependence upon microporosity, the yield strength appeared to have a linear relationship with microporosity. However, it was possible to quantitatively estimate the linear contribution of microporosity on the individual tensile property far a range of microporosity, which was below about B %. The numerical prediction suggests that the effect of microporosity on fractured strength and elongation decreased as the strain hardening exponent increased. Furthermore. the shape and distribution of micropores may play a more dominant role than local plastic deformation on the tensile behavior of AZ9lD alloy.

  • In this paper, anisotropic tensile properties of the AZ31B Mg-alloy sheet are obtained with the tensile test at elevated temperatures. Change of microscopic structures and the hardness is inspected after the solution heat treatment process in order to confirm the micro-structural stability of the used sheet metal. Results obtained from tensile tests show that it is very difficult to apply the conventional modeling scheme with the assumption of strain hardening to the forming analysis of the magnesium alloy sheet which shows the strain-softening behavior at the elevated temperature.

  • The microstructure and deformation behavior in 22Cr-0.2N micro-duplex stainless steels with various Ni and Mn contents were compared using by OM, TEM, and XRD. The 22Cr-0.2N duplex stainless steel plates were fabricated and hot rolled, followed by annealing treatment at the temperature range of $1,000-1,100^{\circ}C$. All the samples showed the common strain hardening behaviour during the tensile test at a room temperature. The steels tested at the temperatures of $-30^{\circ}C$ or $-50^{\circ}C$ showed a distinct inflection point in the stress-strain curves, which should be resulted from the formation of strain-induced martensite(SIM) of austenite phase. This was confirmed by TEM observations. The onset strain of a inflection point in a stress-strain curve should be depended up the value of $M_d30$. With the decrease of the tensile test temperature, the inflection point appeared earlier, and the strength and fracture strain were higher. The tensile behaviour was discussed from the point of austenite stability of the micro-duplex stainless steels with the different Ni and Mn content.

  • In this paper, plastic deformation behaviors of ESW105 and SCM435 steels are revealed by simulations and experiments. ESW105 is the special pre-heat-treated steel characterized by high initial yield strength and negligible strain-hardening behavior. The flow stresses of the two steels for large stain are calculated from tensile tests. Axial and lateral compressions of cylindrical bars are tested and simulated and the deformed shapes are compared to characterize the plastic deformation behaviors of the two materials. A forward extrusion process of a cylindrical bar is also simulated to reveal the difference. It has been shown that there are pretty much difference in plastic flow between ESW105 and SCM435 which causes from the difference in strain-hardening capability, implying that the experience-oriented design rules for common commercial materials may lead to failure in process design when the new material of ESW105 is applied without consideration of its plastic deformation behavior.

  • While ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is commonly reinforced with micro straight steel fibers in existing applications, studies have indicated that the use of deformed steel macro-fibers leads to enhanced ductility and post-peak responses for UHPC structural elements, which is of particular importance for earthquake-resistant structures. However, there are potential concerns regarding the use of UHPC reinforced with macro-fibers due to the issues of workability and fiber distribution. The objective of this study was to address these issues by extensively investigating the restricted and non-restricted deformability, filling ability, horizontal and vertical velocities, and passing ability of UHPC containing macro hooked-end steel fibers. A new approach is suggested to examine the homogeneity of fiber distribution in UHPC. The influences of ultra-fine fillers and steel macro-fibers on the workability of fresh UHPC and the mechanics of hardened UHPC were examined. It was found that although increasing the ratio of quartz powder to cement led to an improvement in the workability and tensile strain hardening behavior of UHPC, it reduced the fiber distribution homogeneity. The addition of 1% volume fraction of macro-fibers in UHPC improved workability, but reduced its compressive strength, which is contrary to the effect of micro-fiber inclusion in UHPC.

  • One of the most important characteristics of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) is its strain hardening behavior up to $5\∼6\%$of stain under a tensile loading. So, the ductile behavior of ECC should be utilized in applications to maximize the performance of structures. Thus, in this study, the ductile behavior of ECC as a repair material applied to the tensile region under flexural loads is numerically examined using a developed numerical model. Several strain capacities of ECC are examined to predict the behavior of ECC strengthened flexural structures. The results show that a certain optimal level of ductility in ECCs for repair applications exists and it is an important factor to consider when using ECC as a repairing material.
