Model of the Mechanical Behavior of Cementitious Matrices Reinforced with Nanomaterials by Victor D. Balopoulos, Nikolaos Archontas, Stavroula J. Pantazopoulou

“…Experimental evidence supports this concept; however, testing at the nanoscale may only be conducted through nanoindentation, which has a limited range only providing localized results that cannot be extrapolated to general stress states. To evaluate the restraining action of nanomaterials in the gel microstructure, a computational mechanistic model has been developed where the material phases (gel, nanotubes, and pores) are modeled explicitly allowing for natural randomness in their distribution and orientation. …”

Effect of residual stress on the mechanical strength in Al Beryl composites subjected to extrusion process by K.G. Sagar, P. SampthKumaran

“…Among them, creep and fatigue have been addressed in the literature for Aluminum based alloys and composites, but Residual Stress (RS) affecting mechanical properties are less cited especially for Aluminum Beryl Composites and further work needs to be undertaken and discussed.Hence, this particular work addresses the onset of Residual Stress (RS) measurements done using X-ray diffraction technique in aluminum beryl composites with Beryl content kept at 0, 2, 4 and 6 wt% and subjected to extrusion process and relating this to mechanical strength evaluated using UTM (Universal Testing Machine). By doing this, a good correlation among RS, strength, microstructure and hardness are evolved. …”
