▼ In recent years, use of composites is increasing in most fields of engineering such as aerospace, automotive, civil construction, marine, prosthetics, etc., because of its light weight, very high specific strength and stiffness, corrosion resistance, high thermal resistance etc. It can be seen that the specific strength of fibers are many orders more compared to metals. Thus, laminated fiber reinforced plastics have emerged to be attractive materials for many engineering applications. Though the uses of composites are enormous, there is always an element of fuzziness in the design of composites. Composite structures are required to be designed to resist high stresses. For this, one requires a reliable
failure criterion. The anisotropic behaviour of composites makes it very difficult to formulate
failure criteria and experimentally verify it, which require one to perform necessary bi-axial tests and plot the
failure envelopes.
Failure criteria are usually
based on certain assumption, which are some times questionable. This is because, the
failure process in composites is quite complex. The
failure in a composite is normally
based on initiating
failure mechanisms such as fiber breaks, fiber compressive
failure, matrix cracks, matrix crushing, delamination, disbonds or a combination of these. The initiating
failure mechanism is the one, which is/are responsible for initiating
failure in a laminated composites. Initiating
failure mechanisms are generally dependant on the type of loading, geometry, material properties, condition of manufacture, boundary conditions, weather conditions etc. Since, composite materials exhibit directional properties, their applications and
failure conditions should be properly examined and in addition to this, robust computational tools have to be exploited for the design of structural components for efficient utilisation of these materials.
Design of structural components requires reliable
failure criteria for the safe design of the components. Several
failure criteria are available for the design of composite laminates. None of the available anisotropic strength criteria represents observed results sufficiently accurate to be employed confidently by itself in design. Most of the
failure criteria are validated
based on the available uniaxial test data, whereas, in practical situations, laminates are subjected to at least biaxial states of stresses. Since, the generation of biaxial test data are very difficult and time consuming to obtain, it is indeed a necessity to develop computational tools for modelling the biaxial behavior of the composite laminates. Understanding of the initiating
failure mechanisms and the development of reliable
failure criteria is an essential prerequisite for effective utilization of composite materials. Most of the
failure criteria, considers the uniaxial test data with constant shear stress to develop
failure envelopes, but in reality, structures are subjected to biaxial normal stresses as well as shear stresses. Hence, one can develop different
failure…

▼ During this research a method is developed for finding the cost optimal design of a sea dike when a probabilistic method is being applied and flexibility is allowed in the distribution of the total failure probability over the various failure mechanisms. A probabilistic model has been set up to calculate the cost optimal design for a sea dike while taking into account the failure mechanisms overtopping, armour layer stability and macro-stability of the inner slope and a number of input geometries that differ in crest height, outer slope angle, berm dimensions and stone size of the armour layer. The model has been evaluated with a case study and the results have been subject of a sensitivity analysis. Based on this case study it is concluded that when using a probabilistic approach and introducing more flexibility in the distribution of the total failure probability over the various failure mechanisms, a cost saving design may be found. This is achieved by changing the key dimensions of the dike section in such a way that trade-off of failure space between the various failure mechanisms occurs.

▼ Railway signaling system is one of the most important parts of the many which make up the
railway system. It is the vital control system which demands the use of reliable and fault tolerant
system as it directly related to the safe movement of passenger trains. Ensuring safety in railway
signaling systems is considered as significant as a guarantee of the safe and efficient operation of
the whole railway. In fact, one of the most important objectives of a safety analysis of the
signaling system is to maintain a high degree of safety.
Therefore, to avoid these problems and provide an optimized signaling, a signaling system
design should incorporate additional safety analysis. One of the safety analysis methods from
design stage is
failure analysis which is used to study the whole dynamic system, point out
potential
failure modes,
failure propagation scheme and used to predict about the system.
To this end, this thesis presents the
failure analysis of Addis Ababa-Light Rail Transit signaling
system by employing model-
based failure analysis methods and system fault tree, causes and
effects, major failures are investigated.
Failure propagation models for the subsystems of AA-LRT signaling system are modeled on
Matlab-Simulink, where signaling equipments in a main station are represented. Functional
interactions between those equipments are also represented.
Hierarchically Performed Hazard Origin and Propagation Studies (HiP-HOPS) is used from the
most common model-
based safety analysis tools to define each signaling system equipment local
failure data and to analyze
failure models which are done on Simulink.
Fault trees are generated as a result for selected hazards in simulations showing the possible
causes of failures.

▼ The reliability of portable electronic devices was studied by applying standardized test procedures for test vehicles that represent the technologies and lead-free materials typically used in novel portable products. Thermal cycling and drop testing are commonly used because they reveal the failure modes and mechanisms that portable devices experience in operational environments. A large number of component boards were assembled in a full-scale production line to enable proper statistical and fractographic analyses. The test boards were assembled with different printed wiring board protective coatings, component under bump metallizations, and solder pad structures. The component boards were tested and the times-to-failure of the various combinations were statistically analyzed. The reliability data were also analyzed by the Weibull method, and the characteristic lifetimes and shape parameters were calculated. The failure modes under the thermal cycling, where solder interconnections fail by cracking through the bulk solder, were different from those observed in the drop tests, where cracks propagate along the intermetallic layers on either side of the interconnections. Under the thermomechanical loading the as-soldered microstructure, which is composed of only a few large eutectic colonies, undergoes local recrystallization that produces networks of grain boundaries along which the intergranular cracks damage solder interconnections. Under the mechanical shock loading, in turn, the strain–rate hardening of the solder material forces cracks to propagate in the intermetallic layers instead of the bulk solder. It was found that the reliability of solder interconnections can improve when the component boards have undergone thermal cycles before drop testing. The high-angle boundaries between the recrystallized grains generated during thermal cycling provide paths along which cracks can propagate but the propagation through the bulk solder consumes more energy than the propagation through brittle intermetallic layers. On the other hand, prolonged lifetime at elevated temperatures can reduce the drop test reliability considerably due to the formation of Kirkendall voids in the Cu3Sn intermetallic layers.

▼ The increasing use of fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) in civil and military applications has made it imperative that the behavior of FRPC be understood under a variety of loading conditions. It is known that the compressive load carrying capacity of FRPC is low compared to its tensile load carrying capacity. Thus, the compressive behavior of FRPC has been a limiting factor in the design of FRPC structures. In the current work, the compressive behavior of FRPC has been studied with an aim to identify and understand the important parameters affecting the compressive strength and
failure mechanisms in FRPC, particularly under combined stress states. The purpose is to establish compressive strength degradation (or enhancement) in the presence of combined stress states. Results from experiments have led to the development of a
mechanism based failure model,
based on the principles of fracture mechanics for the splitting
failure of FRPC. A mechanics model has been developed for both pure compression and combined compression-torsion loading. The predictions of the model were found to compare favorably with experimental data obtained from glass and carbon FRPC under pure compression and combined compression-torsion loading. A 3D finite element simulation of a representative cylindrical section of the composite was performed. The results indicated the importance of fiber diameter on the predicted compressive response of the composite. It also indicated the possibilities of fiber breakage under axial loading as a cause for the initiation of kinking in case of small diameter fiber reinforced composites. Pure compression tests were also conducted on hybrid (glass/carbon) composites under static and dynamic loading conditions. The static compressive strength of hybrid composites shows a non-monotonic behavior with respect to the hybrid ratio. The compressive strength first decreases and then increases as we approach either pure carbon or pure glass composites. The hybrid composites tested show an increase in strength with strain rate at all hybrid ratios.
Based on the above experiments/analysis a non-dimensional number has been derived to a priori identify the composite
failure mechanism, and thus aid the accurate prediction of composite compressive strength.

▼ This thesis presents a research project and results of design and optimization of a composite wing structure for a large aircraft in flying wing configuration. The design process started from conceptual design and preliminary design, which includes initial sizing and stressing followed by numerical modelling and analysis of the wing structure. The research was then focused on the minimum weight optimization of the /composite wing structure /subject to multiple design /constraints. The modelling, analysis and optimization process has been performed by using the NASTRAN code. The methodology and technique not only make the modelling in high accuracy, but also keep the whole process within one commercial package for practical application.
The example aircraft, called FW-11, is a 250-seat commercial airliner of flying wing configuration designed through our MSc students Group Design Project (GDP) in Cranfield University. Started from conceptual design in the GDP, a high-aspect-ratio and large sweepback angle flying wing configuration has been adopted. During the GDP, the author was responsible for the structural layout design and material selection. Composite material has been chosen as the preferable material for both the inner and outer wing components. Based on the derivation of structural design data in the conceptual phase, the author continued with the preliminary design of the outer wing airframe and then focused on the optimization of the composite wing structure.

▼ For failure in composite materials the fracture mechanisms at the microscopic scale, such as matrix cracking, fiber cracking, fiber-matrix debonding or combinations thereof determine the growth of crack at the macroscopic scale. The goal is to develop a simple failure criterion in terms of a bilinear Traction-Separation Law (TSL) for unidirectional Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) that represents the crack nucleation and evolution at the macroscopic scale. The microscopic fracture mechanisms are incorporated by calibrating this bilinear TSL for arbitrary loading conditions and material properties. The calibration is performed by an extensive parametric study on 2D a Representative Volume Element (RVE) in ABAQUS. For the parametric study five load cases are studied: uni-axial extension (pure mode I), simple shear (pure mode II) and three mixed loading cases. Fracture is simulated inserting cohesive elements along the boundaries of all bulk elements. The effect of five variables was studied: interface cohesive strength, fiber cohesive strength, interface fracture energy, fiber fracture energy and fiber volume fraction. An average of four realizations, i.e. fiber distributions, resulted in an effective TSL that represents the fracture behavior of the RVE. The resulting effective TSL is approximated by a bilinear TSL that has three parameters: initial slope, cohesive strength (peak) and fracture energy (area). Using the results of the parametric study a correlation is performed for these three parameters. First, the mode I and II parameters are correlated using the results of the uni-axial extension and simple shear load case. Secondly, the three bilinear TSL parameters dependence on the mode mixity is correlated using one of the mixed loading cases. As a result of this procedure simple closed-form expressions are established that can determine the macroscopic fracture mechanism, in terms of a bilinear TSL, as a function of the microscopic properties.

▼ With increasing fuel costs and the current drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption, a need to reduce vehicle weight is apparent. Weight reduction can be achieved by replacing conventionally stamped structural members with hydroformed parts. The weight reduction can be further enhanced by reducing the thickness of the hydroformed members through the use of advanced high strength steel (AHSS). A primary limitation in hydroforming AHSS, is the limited ductility or formability of these materials. This limitation becomes acute in multi-stage forming operations in which strain path changes become large making it difficult to predict formability. Thus, the focus of the current work is to study the effects of pre-bending on the subsequent hydroformability of Dual-Phase DP600 steel tubes. As part of this effort, the effect of key bending and hydroforming process parameters, bending boost and hydroforming end-feed, have been studied in a parametric fashion. Multi-step pre-bending and hydroforming experiments were performed on 76. 2 mm (3. 0") OD tubes with a wall-thickness of 1. 85mm (DP600). Experiments were also performed on 1. 74mm Interstitial Free (IF) steel tube, which provided a low strength, high formability baseline material for comparison purposes. A fully instrumented servo-hydraulic mandrel-rotary draw tube bender was used in the pre-bending experiments in which various levels of boost were applied. The results showed that increased boost reduced the major (tensile) strain and thinning at the outside of the bend. At the inside of the bend, the compressive minor strain became larger and thickening increased. Hydroforming of the straight and pre-bent tubes was conducted using various levels of load-control end-feed (EF). For both straight and pre-bend tube hydroforming, an increase in hydroforming EF resulted in increased burst pressure and corner-fill expansion (CFE). The effect of bending boost on CFE was also measured. For a given hydroforming EF case, a tube bent with greater boost achieved a higher burst pressure and consequently a greater CFE which increased the hydroformability of the material. Pre-bending was shown to consume a considerable amount of the formability of the tube in the hydroforming experiments. For the same EF case, the pre-bent tubes could only achieve a fraction of the straight tube CFE at burst. The pre-bending and hydroforming experiments were complimented by finite element simulation in the hope of providing additional insight into these processes. The finite element (FE) models were able to accurately predict the strain and thickness changes imposed during pre-bending. The models were able to accurately predict the CFE, EF displacement, and strain and thickness distributions after hydroforming. The extended stress-based forming limit curve (XSFLC) failure criterion was applied to predict failure (onset of necking) during hydroforming, which was…

▼ In recent years, Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics
(PFM) has becoming newlinean increasingly popular for realistic
evaluation of fracture response and newlinereliability of cracked
structures. The traditional approach to safety assessment
newlineand design lies in a deterministic model in which safety
factors are usually newlineassigned from heuristic and arbitrary
decisions to handle the uncertainties. newlineUntil now, there is
no straight-forward universal method to appropriately newlinedefine
the safety factor. Use of the arbitrary safety factor is prone to
reach newlinesolutions which are too conservative and over
redundant that results in newlineadditional weight of the component
and costs penalty. Hence there is need to newlinedevelop analytical
methods to tackle the uncertainties systematically and
newlinerationally during design. PFM provides a more rational way
of describing the newlineactual behaviour and reliability of the
structures than the traditional deterministic models. Using PFM,
one can incorporate statistical uncertainties newlinein engineering
design and evaluation. A realistic evaluation of structural
newlineperformance can be achieved only if the uncertainty in
structural loads, flaw newlinesizes and material properties are
considered. newlineThe PFM analysis of an engineering system is
concerned with newlinefinding a design such that safe operating
condition is obtained while ensuring newlinethat the system
reliability is within an acceptable limit. From the detailed
newlineliterature review, it is found that the probabilistic
failure assessment of newlineunflawed and flawed cylindrical
pressure vessel containing axial through and newlinesurface cracks
in the aerospace applications are scarcely reported. In this study,
the probabilistic failure assessment methodology has been proposed
newlineand implemented for the prediction of safe operating
pressure for the newlineunflawed high strength steel pressure

In most existing model selection criteria, a constant penalty multiplier is usually paired with a penalty function. A model selection criterion based on a single value of penalty multiplier, such as Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC), can be "unstable" as a different model may be selected if the penalty multiplier changes even by a small arbitrary amount. This thesis extends a recently developed model selection approach for (generalised) linear models, known as model selection curves (MSC), to accelerated failure time (AFT) models for survival data. In this approach, penalty multiplier in a predetermined range, instead of a single value, is considered. Model selection criteria based on this approach are thus considered more stable as the selected model is the least likely not to be selected even when the penalty multiplier changes. In addition to the two recently introduced longest cathetus criterion and longest hypotenuse criterion, a new criterion, called the triangle area criterion, is proposed in this thesis. Under some conditions, these three criteria are consistent in selecting a specified AFT model, similar to BIC. It is shown that the consistency result seems to hold even when sample size is only reasonably large using simulations. A model selection framework including these three MSC based criteria, as well as BIC and AIC, is proposed for AFT models of survival data.
The framework was investigated through simulations considering survival data of various sizes and censoring proportions from different specified models. Moreover, the performance of those model selection criteria based on the MSC was examined in comparison to AIC and BIC. The results indicate that those criteria have the potential to outperform AIC and BIC in selecting the correct model. The model selection framework has also been applied to several real world survival data. A tool in R program is developed to visualise the results from applying the framework.

▼ The collapse of Redcliffs’ cliff in the 22 February 2011 and 13 June 2011 earthquakes were the first times ever a major failure incident occurred at Redcliffs in approximately 6000 years. This master’s thesis is a multidisciplinary engineering geological investigation sought to study these particular failure incidents, focusing on collecting the data necessary to explain the cause and effect of the cliff collapsing in the event of two major earthquakes.
This study provides quantitative and qualitative data about the geotechnical attributes and engineering geological nature of the sea-cut cliff located at Redcliffs. Results from surveying the geology of Redcliffs show that the exposed lithology of the cliff face is a variably jointed rock body of welded and (relatively intact) unwelded ignimbrite, a predominantly massive unit of brecciated tuff, and a covering of wind-blown loess and soil deposit (commonly found throughout Canterbury) on top of the cliff. Moreover, detailing the external component of the slope profile shows that Redcliffs’ cliff is a 40 – 80 m cliff with two intersecting (NE and SE facing) slope aspects. The (remotely) measured geometry of the cliff face comprises of multiple outstanding gradients, averaging a slope angle of ~67 degrees (post-13 June 2011), where the steepest components are ~80 degrees, whereas the gentle sloping sections are ~44 degrees.
The physical structure of Redcliffs’ cliff drastically changed after each collapse, whereby seismically induced alterations to the slope geometry resulted in material deposited on the talus at the base of the cliff. Prior to the first collapse, the variance of the gradient down the slope was minimal, with the SE Face being the most variable with up to three major gradients on one cross section. However, after each major collapse, the variability increased with more parts of the cliff face having more than one major gradient that is steeper or gentler than the remainder of the slope. The estimated volume of material lost as a result of the gradient changes was 28,267 m³ in February and 11,360 m³ in June 2011. In addition, surveys of the cliff top after the failure incidents revealed the development of fissures along the cliff edge. Monitoring 10 fissures over three months indicated that fissured by the cliff edge respond to intense seismicity (generally ≥ Mw 4) by widening.
Redcliffs’ cliff collapsed on two separate occasions as a result of an accumulated amount of damage of the rock masses in the cliff (caused by weathering and erosion over time), and two Mw 6.2 trigger earthquakes which shook the Redcliffs and the surrounding area at a Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) estimated to be around 2 g. The results of the theoretical study suggests that PGA levels felt on-site during both instances of failure are the result of three major factors: source of the quake and the site affected; topographic amplification of the ground movement; the short distance between the source and the cliff for both fault ruptures; the focus of seismic energy in…

▼ In-situ rock is often fully saturated or at least has a high fluid content. The presence of pore fluid can affect both the elastic response and the inelastic deformation process. However, testing of fluid-saturated rock is not typically performed, even though rock-fluid interaction is critical in many applications, such as oil and natural gas exploration and recovery procedures. Experimental techniques aimed at the measurements of the parameters that govern the deformation of fluid-filled porous rock were developed. Berea sandstone was tested under the limiting conditions of drained, undrained, and unjacketed response. Saturation methods were applied to the rock at pore pressures of 3 - 4 MPa. Hydrostatic loading and compression experiments, both conventional triaxial and plane strain loading, were performed on the sandstone to investigate isotropic and transversely isotropic poroelastic behavior. Measured parameters were used to calibrate a constitutive model that predicts undrained inelastic deformation from the drained response. The experimental data shows good agreement with the model: the effect of dilatant hardening in undrained triaxial and plane strain compression tests under constant mean stress was predicted and observed.
Suggested experimental methods can be, and have been already, implemented for testing rock from the field. Moreover, the developed techniques are applicable for the prediction of deformation and induced seismicity in fluid-filled rock utilized for CO2 sequestration.

▼ Spot welding has been used to join steel sheet material in the past during automotive manufacturing. The increasing use of aluminum and mixed materials to achieve continually increasing fuel economy standards requires mechanical joining methods to provide adequate impact performance. One such mechanical joining process is self-pierce riveting (SPR). Self-pierce riveting has grown in popularity in recent years due to fast cycle times, high static strength and fatigue performance as well as the ability to join many different sheet material combinations. Self-pierce rivet utilization has become limited due to the material properties of the rivet in two main areas: the joining of high-strength sheet material and joining of multiple sheet material combinations using a single rivet geometry, referred to as commonization. Two specific case studies have been developed to assess the failures that occur and evaluate potential solutions: joining of press-hardened steel (PHS) to Al6111 and improved commonization ability using a two layer aluminum joint that is currently joined with a specialized rivet. Riveting trials have been performed on each of the two case studies using cold forged rivets produced from 10B37 steel that has been heat-treated through a quench and temper process to a range of hardness levels to evaluate the failures that occur within the rivet. The failures occur with two different modes: buckling of the rivet at hardness values below 550 HV when joining PHS and Al6111 and fractures that occur in the rivet tail at hardness values above 550 HV during joining in each of the case studies under evaluation. The fractures have been attributed to a high degree of hoop strain that forms when the rivets are flared beyond the design specifications. A method to replicate the rivet flaring procedure under laboratory conditions has been developed by flaring the rivets through various strain paths to induce a hoop strain and the resultant fractures. The flaring method shows the ability to replicate the types of fractures that were observed during joining attempts while monitoring applied force, crosshead displacement and strain at the point of fracture at the rivet tail using digital image correlation. Alternative alloys including 4130, 4340 and 5160 were evaluated alongside 10B37 for improved performance after quenching and tempering, austempering and after being intentionally decarburized to varying degrees. The heat-treatments were evaluated through microscopy, fractography, rivet flaring and joining attempts for each case study and alloy under investigation. All of the alternative alloys showed no significant performance gains after being quenched and tempered or austempered. However, hoop strain to
failure during flaring was increased between 2-4x after the rivets had been intentionally decarburized. The intentionally decarburized rivets were evaluated through joining trials and provided successful joining for each of the case studies under investigation using 10B37 rivets. Rivets produced from 4340 and 5160 also…

The TaN and Cu films were deposited with RF sputtering technique. The structure of these films was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The stoichiometry of TaN was characterized by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). The morphology of the films was examined with SEM and the microstructure of the interface between several layers was observed with TEM. With comparing the XRD patterns of the samples which were annealed in the different temperatures, the
failure temperature of the TaN barrier layer can be identified and the
failure mechanism of this barrier layer cab be elucidated with TEM observation.
The results revealed that the deposited TaN film with low sputtering power had better performance for preventing the Cu atoms diffusing into the SiGe layer. The high composition of Ge in the SiGe alloy degraded the blocking ability of the TaN barrier layer due to the released the existed strain between the SiGe and Si. When the
failure temperature was reached, The Cu3Si phase was formed first in the interface of the TaN/SiGe and inside the TaN film. If the annealed temperature went higher, the TaSi2 phase also was formed. Compared with SiGe/Si and Si substrate, the TaN diffusion barrier layer has a higher
failure temperature in Si than those in SiGe layer.

▼ Nickel superalloys are used for high-temperature application in energetic and aerospace industry. They are exposed to aggressive environment at high temperatures with the interactions between fatigue and creep processes, high-temperature oxidation, corrosion and erosion. Lifetime extension of such strained parts while increasing the performance of particular machine is possible by applying protective surface coatings. The
subject of this work is to investigate the fatigue
failure mechanisms of superalloy Inconel 713LC at 800 °C and to compare these mechanisms between material with a protective coating
based on Al-Si and material without coating. The location of initiation fatigue cracks, their propagation and the fatigue crack propagation rate in some areas were analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy.
Based on previous research it was found that the application of the coating AlSi has a positive effect on lifetime of alloy Inconel 713LC. These results were confirmed and estimated in the diploma thesis.

▼ The increasing depths of mining and associated in-situ stresses have made rockburst a serious risk for underground mining and tunneling. Therefore, it is important to understand the energy mechanisms of unstable rock
failure to reduce rockburst hazards. In this dissertation, an energy approach is developed by integrating energy equations into UDEC software where energy components including elastic strain energy, plastic strain work, and joint friction work can be tracked in each individual zone or contact of the numerical model at every time step. Rapid and large changes in energy components were used to identify unstable rock
failure modes, and the magnitudes of these changes were used to quantify the unstable rock
failure intensity. Simulation of compression testing confirmed that unstable rock
failure tends to occur in stiff and brittle rock loaded with a soft loading system, resulting from the fact that a small loading system stiffness (LSS) and rock stiffness will increase the amount of stored elastic strain energy in the model, while a brittle rock will require less amount of elastic strain energy for plastic strain work during the rock damage process. Direct shear test modeling results show that unstable slip
failure at the same peak shear stress is less likely to occur in discontinuities with smaller shear stiffness, larger roughness, and/or that are embedded in a rock matrix with smaller stiffness. A stiff rock matrix surrounding the discontinuity can store less elastic strain energy to be transferred to the joint during
failure, while smaller shear stiffness represents a larger slip-weakening distance and requires more elastic strain energy for the slip
failure. Rockburst damage induced by fault slip at the excavation scale was investigated with a circular excavation model with a nearby discontinuity, and a critical discontinuity distance parameter was proposed to quantify the rockburst potentials for this type of rockburst. The critical discontinuity distance refers to the minimum normal distance between the excavation and discontinuity plane for the excavation to stay stable; therefore, a larger critical discontinuity distance represents a higher rockburst potential. The influence of the in-situ stress, discontinuity dip angle, excavation radius, and fault length, are analyzed with the hypothetical base model. Finally, a rockburst event from the drainage tunnel at Jinping II hydropower station is simulated to validate the numerical results with the measured released energy and the estimated normal fault distance.

Failure mechanism of coated biomaterials under high

▼ This study uses a newly developed
testing method – inclined cyclic impact-sliding test to investigate
the
failure behaviors of different types of biomaterials, (SS316L,
Ti6Al4V and CoCr) coated by different coatings (TiN, DLC and PEO),
under extremely high dynamic contact stress conditions. This test
method can simulate the combined impact and sliding/rolling loading
conditions, which is very practical in many aspects of commercial
usages. During the tests, fatigue cracking, chipping, peeling and
material transferring were observed in damaged area. This research
is mainly focused on the
failure behaviors of load-bearing
materials which cyclic impacting and sliding are always involved.
This purpose was accomplished in the three stages: First,
impact-sliding test was carried out on TiN coated unhardened M2. It
was found that soft substrate can cause early
failure of coating
due to the considerable plastic deformation in the substrate. In
this case, stronger substrate is required to support coating better
when tested under high contact stresses. Second, PEO coated
Ti-6Al-4V was tested under pure sliding and impact-sliding wear
conditions. PEO coating was found not strong enough to afford the
high contact pressure under cyclic impact-sliding wear test due to
its porous surface structure. However, the wear performance of PEO
coating was enhanced due to the sub-stoichiometric oxide. To sum
up, for load-bearing biomedical implants involved in high impacting
movement, PEO coating may not be a promising surface protection.
Third, the dense, smooth PVD/CVD bio-inert coatings were
reconsidered. DLC and TiN coatings, combined by different
substrates together with different interface materials were tested
under the cyclic impact-sliding test using a set of proper loading.
The results show that to choose a proper combination of coating,
interface and substrate
based on their mechanical properties is of
great importance under the test condition. Hard substrates provide
support to coating better and a ductile and adhesive interface
layer can delay the cracked coating from
peeled-off.

▼ A discrete element model (DEM) capable of reproducing the mechanistic behavior of a triaxial compressive test performed on a Vosges sandstone specimen is presented considering similar experimental testing conditions and densely packed spherical elements with low lock-in stress. The main aim of this paper is to illustrate the calibration process of the model‟s micro-parameters when obtained from the experimental meso-parameters measured in the lab. For this purpose, a probabilistic inverse method is introduced to fully define the micro-parameters of the particle models through a joint probability density function, which is conditioned on the experimental observations obtained during a series of tests performed at the L3S-R France. The DEM captures successfully some of the rock mechanical behavior features, including the global stress-strain and
failure mechanisms. Results include a detailed parametric analysis consisting of varying each DEM parameter at the time and measuring the model response on the strain-stress domain. First order statistics on probabilistic results show the adequacy of the model to capture the experimental data, including a measure of the DEM performance for different parameter combinations. Also, joint probability density functions and cross-correlations among the micro-parameters are presented.

▼ This thesis studies the static and fatigue failure of carbon fibre-epoxy composite for marine use. The primary objective is to investigate the effects of sea water ingress on the static and cyclic performance of laminated composites, by using the combination of experimental, numerical and analytical approaches. Experiments were carried out to collect evidence, including data and images, for further analysis. Samples were made from autoclave-cured carbon fibre-epoxy pre-preg for the static, moisture diffusion and fatigue tests. Three chambers were used in the diffusion test, containing fresh water (tap water), sea water and sea water at 70 bar hydrostatic pressure respectively. And the chambers were placed in an oven at a constant temperature 50 °C in order to accelerate the water absorption. Optical and scanning electron microscopies (SEM) were employed to inspect for manufacturing defects and to identify the failure modes. Some formulae were derived to predict the material properties of laminated composites, to validate the mechanical tests, and to explain the failure criteria of composites. Finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to study the phenomena that were observed in the experiments. FEA has the aim to simulate the static, diffusion and fatigue behaviour involving multiphysics and multiscale effects. The FEA modelling has revealed details of the stress and moisture distributions, which have helped to understand the failure mechanisms of laminated composites. Classical laminate theory (CLT) was employed to develop an analytical model. The basic principles of CLT were extended to three-dimensions, and the analytical solution was critically compared with the FEA results. Some MATLAB tools based on CLT were developed to predict the properties of laminated composites and to analyse the experimental data. These MATLAB codes are shown in the appendix. This thesis has contributed to an improved knowledge of the failure mechanisms of composite materials in both normal and marine environments, and to optimize structural design of FRP composites.

▼ Nanocrystalline (NC) or ultrafine-grained (UFG)
materials exhibit significantly improved strength and hardness
compared to the coarse grain (CG) counterpart according to the
well-known Hall-Petch effect. In this work, aluminum alloy (AA)
5083 was selected as the target material due to its low density,
good weldability and excellent corrosion resistance. Refined grain
size was achieved by severe plastic deformation techniques
including cryomilling and high pressure torsion (HPT) which both
introduced large amount of plastic strain into the materials and
thus refined grain sizes down to nano-scale. ❧ Despite enhanced
strength and hardness, the NC or UFG AA 5083 is very brittle due to
the lack of plasticity mechanisms. This brittleness can cause
numerous risks and failures during material service or even during
production. The major challenge of this work is to restore
ductility of the NC or UFG AA 5083 while maintaining its high
strength. Toughening approaches described in this work follow the
materials science paradigm which says “microstructure connects
fabrication with properties”. The mechanical properties of the end
products were tailored by altering the microstructure via different
processing routes. We seek an optimized microstructure which can
balance the strength with the ductility and maximize the fracture
toughness of the NC/UFG AA 5083. ❧ Chapter 1 will discuss the
general background, modern synthesis methods, strengthening
mechanisms and toughening efforts of the NC/UFG materials. Chapter
2 will introduce the methods and experimental procedures for
microstructure characterization and deformation
mechanism
investigation. Chapter 3 will describe an in situ micro-strain
measurement of an UFG Al-Mg alloy at sub-micron scale. Chapter 4
will focus on the microstructural evolution of the cryomilled
Al/B4C powder during processing. Chapter 5 will investigate the
failure mechanisms and the toughening effect of the ductile regions
in a trimodal AA 5083 nanocomposite. Chapter 6 will demonstrate the
attempt to enhance the toughness by optimizing the morphology and
spacing of the ductile regions in the trimodal nanocomposite. At
last, chapter 7 will discuss some historic aspects of this work and
the challenges that are lying ahead.

▼ By virtue of their excellent properties of specific strength-to-mass and stiffness-to-mass ratios, carbon fibre reinforced epoxy (CF/EP) structures are becoming increasingly important in various transportation tools and industrial machines. Many studies have investigated the damage responses of CF/EP composite structures. However, there are still outstanding issues associated with failure-mechanism investigation and design for CF/EP composite structures under crushing loading. First, specific experimental approaches and advantageous models remain inadequate. Second, systematic study of the crushing responses of CF/EP composite structures is necessary. Third, the structural design of CF/EP materials are meaningful but seldom. Transverse impact is a common and important crushing scenario for CF/EP composite sandwich panels (CSPs). This study developed a specific FEA model addressing intralaminar damage, interlaminar and adhesive delamination, and honeycomb core (HC) failure of CF/EP CSPs, and designed an optimal structure under both transverse normal and oblique impact. Next, in-plane crushing responses of the CF/EP CSPs were investigated. Both in-plane localised and globalised crushing tests were conducted to characterise the failure responses and mechanisms of CSPs. CF/EP composite tubes are very promising for crushing energy absorption. This study investigated the failure mechanism and energy absorption of CF/EP tubes under three triggering initiators subjected to both quasi-static and dynamic crushing. This study characterised the failure responses and mechanisms of CF/EP composite structures under different crushing scenarios, and numerical techniques were applied. Optimisation theories with mathematic algorithms were utilised to improve the models’ comprehensive performance. The findings provide a series of valuable data for potential engineering applications.

▼ Liquid aluminum electrolytic capacitors are known for their reliability problems. They are considered as the weakest link in the power electronics system. The liquid electrolyte of these capacitors is the single most important component which affects the reliability of these capacitors. The principal ingredients of the liquid electrolyte are solvent, water, solute and additives such as corrosion inhibitors and hydrogen absorbers. Usually, the primary solvent used in liquid electrolyte of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is ethylene glycol or γ-butyrolactone. The effect of liquid electrolyte solvent on the
failure mechanisms observed in liquid aluminum electrolytic capacitors is missing. Effect of ripple current on the observed
failure mechanisms is unknown.
Polymer aluminum (PA) capacitors were introduced as the polymer electrolyte is conductive and solid therefore, it does not evaporate and the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the PA capacitors is low. Manufacturers advise not to use PA capacitors in elevated temperature-humidity environments. But, the
Failure modes and mechanisms of polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitors in elevated temperature-humidity are unknown.
In this study, life testing of liquid aluminum electrolytic capacitors chosen
based on primary solvent of the electrolyte was performed. For γ-butyrolactone solvent
based capacitors, the
failure mechanisms observed causing decrease in capacitance were evaporation of electrolyte and decrease in surface area of the aluminum oxide dielectric layer. The observed ESR increase was due to evaporation of electrolyte. For ethylene glycol solvent
based capacitors, ESR increase was observed due to ester and amide formation, along with decrease in concentration of the carboxylic acid salts in the electrolyte and evaporation of electrolyte. The
failure mechanisms observed in life tests with and without ripple current were the same.
PA capacitors were tested at elevated temperature-humidity of 85ºC, 85%RH and Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) condition of 110ºC, 85%RH. PA capacitors failed due to increase in ESR and increase in leakage current. Iron particles in dielectric layer from the manufacturing process of PA capacitors caused the high leakage current
failure. This is a new
failure mechanism which has not been reported in the literature.
Failure modes observed in 85ºC, 85%RH and HAST tests were same therefore, HAST tests can be used as rapid assessment test for PA capacitors in elevated temperature-humidity environment.

▼ Floor heave—the excessive deformation and
failure of floor strata—is a serious problem for many underground coal mining operations in the U.S. There is an accepted floor heave design methodology developed for the Illinois basin coal mines (Gadde, 2009). However, for Eastern U.S. coal mines in the Appalachian region, there is not any systematic design method to assess floor heave potential. In order to prevent stability problems associated with floor
failure and to ensure the safety of the miners in this region, a systematic and proactive method to assess the potential of floor stability that also takes the floor
failure mechanisms into consideration is a requirement. In this study, the Coal Mine Floor Rating (CMFR) system, a rock mass classification system recently developed by Mo (2019) in Australia, which provides an indicator for the competence of floor strata is applied to Eastern U.S. coal mines that intermittently experienced floor heave. Exploratory geologic drill log data, overburden maps, and mine plans were gathered in a broad database for this study. Additionally, qualitative data (
failure/non-
failure) on floor conditions of the mine entries near the core holes were collected and analyzed so that the floor quality, and its relation to entry stability could be estimated by statistical methods. This study found that the original CMFR classification system is not directly applicable in assessing the floor stability of Eastern U.S. coal mines. In order to extend the applicability of the CMFR classification system, the methodology is modified. A calculation procedure of the CMFR classification system’s components, Coal Mine Floor Rating (CMFR) and Horizontal Stress Rating (HSR), is modified; additionally, new parameters were included in the HSR, such as orientation coefficient, horizontal stress magnitude, and elastic modulus of the strong floor layer. The stress distribution around pillars in the vicinity of the floor
failure area is further analyzed through boundary element model software LaModel. After modifying the CMFR system, a better separation of
failure and non-
failure cases from one another is observed and an applicable rock mass classification system capable of predicting potential floor failures in the U.S. is proposed.

▼ Studies have suggested that Sub-Sahara Africans are prone to HIV-related renal dysfunction. A study done in Zambia showed increased deaths among HIV/AIDS patients who had renal dysfunction. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) one of the first line antiretroviral drugs in Zambia, has been associated with renal tubulopathy and nephrotoxicity in many studies. In Zambia, TDF has been in use since 2007. This study was set out to determine whether TDF had similar Nephrotoxic effects in patients receiving TDF- based regimen at the largest Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Centre in Lusaka. It aimed at determining the likelihood of patients with no renal dysfunction (CLcr method) at initiation of therapy developing renal dysfunction after 1 year of treatment with TDF- based regimen compared to those on non- TDF- based regimen (these patients were either on Stavudine (D4T)- based regimen or Zidovudine (AZT)- based regimen).
An analytical cross- sectional study involved analysis of data obtained from 549 randomly selected HIV/AIDS patient files that were started on ART between September, 2007 and January, 2013. Out of the 549 patients, 275 patients were on TDF- based regimen and 274 patients were on non- TDF- based regimen.
Findings showed a significantly larger number of participants on TDF developing renal dysfunction from having no renal dysfunction at baseline compared to those on non- TDF- based regimen; 51 out of 180 verses 8 out of 207, P< 0.001. Upon controlling for age and sex, logistic regression model showed that HIV/AIDS patients on TDF- based regimen were 8.77 times more likely to develop renal dysfunction after one year of therapy from having no renal dysfunction at baseline compared to those on non- TDF- based regimen.
It was concluded that treatment with TDF- based regimen was strongly associated with developing renal dysfunction after 1 year of treatment compared to non TDF- based regimen. There is need for follow up of patients on TDF- based regimen or therapy modification to reduce cases of renal dysfunction in patients on treatment thereby allowing them benefit fully by the treatment.

▼ Advanced polymer matrix composites exhibit time-dependent deformation and fracture owing to the viscoelastic nature of the polymer matrix. Often this rate dependency is characterized under a single loading mode while the material is simultaneously subjected to multiple loading modes while in service. While the former has been extensively studied, the published research on the latter is very limited. Hence, in the present work, a
criterion to predict strain-rate dependent
failure of unidirectional continuous carbon fiber polymer matrix composite (Hexcel’s G30-500/F263-7), under multi-axial loading is developed by combining the critical stored elastic energy
criterion developed by Raghavan and Meshi [1, 2] for predicting rate-dependent
failure under uni-axial loading and Sandhu’s
criterion for predicting rate-independent
failure for multi-axial loading [3]. Strain-rate dependent critical stored energy for on-axis loading (longitudinal normal, transverse normal, and shear) were determined using the procedure developed by Raghavan and Meshii [1, 2] and tensile testing of [0], [90], and V-notched rail shear test specimens respectively, at three strain rates (10 pwr -3, 10 pwr -4 and 10 pwr -5 per sec), and at various temperatures (24, 80, 120, 160, 200, 245 and 275 C). Using this along with the modified Sandhu’s
criterion, the tensile strength of off-axis laminates (10, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 degrees), at the strain rates and temperatures identified above, were predicted and compared with the experimental results. Furthermore, the results were plotted as
failure envelope in the first stress quadrant (shear stress (τ12) versus tensile transverse normal stress (σ22)) and evaluated. The
failure criterion developed in this study resulted in predictions with accuracy (within 8% of experimental results at all strain rates and temperatures) much better than predictions using Tsai-Hill, Hashin-Rotem, and Sandhu’s
failure criteria.

▼ In this PhD Dissertation a hyperbolic failure criterion for cohesive, frictional and dilatant materials (rocks, soils, concrete etc.) is proposed. The failure/yield surface is calibrated by virtue of three free variables which have a clear physical meaning. The criterion predicts well both the tensile and compression regimes of a geomaterial and it takes under consideration the influence of the intermediate principal stress. The meridians of the failure surface are hyperbolas while the trace on the deviatoric plane is described by an elliptic function. The shape on the deviatoric plane evolves from triangular at the tensile regime to circular at high confinement. Thus, the failure surface exhibits brittle behavior at low confinement and ductile at high compression stresses. The calibration results show that the proposed criterion can predict very well the experimental results and it is equivalent or even better than the most widespread used criteria.Based on this hyperbolic criterion, an elastoplastic constitutive model was also elaborated. The calibration of the elastoplastic model requires five additional parameters which are calculated from the uniaxial compression test. For the elastic response of the model, the linear isotropic Hooke law with constant parameters has been considered. For the work hardening behavior, a hardening law is proposed that results in anisotropic hardening of the yield surface. The history of the irreversible plastic deformation, that also drives the hardening law, is the plastic octahedral shear strain. The failure stress is attained when a critical amount of plastic octahedral shear strain has been accumulated into the material. This critical plastic shear strain is considered as a material property. Moreover, a dilatancy rule is proposed that takes under consideration the position of the stress point or in other words the stress inclination. Finally, the damage effect is not considered in this work.Back-analysis results show that the proposed elastoplastic model predicts relatively well the material response a low confinement stresses. The discrepancies observed are mainly due to the assumed constant elastic parameters. The considerations of the hardening law as well as the damage effect also contribute to the observed discrepancies. It was realized that a good elastoplastic model should be based on a robust elasticity model.Finally, in the context of this PhD Dissertation, a relational database for Rock Mechanics tests has been constructed. All the parameters of the elastoplastic model were calibrated on data stored in this database.

▼ To provide technical support for sand control decision-making, it is necessary to predict the production condition at which sand production occurs. Sanding onset prediction involves simulating the stress state on the surface of an oil/gas producing cavity (e.g. borehole, perforation tunnel) and applying appropriate sand production
criterion to predict the fluid pressure or pressure gradient at which sand production occurs. In this work, we present numerical and analytical poroelastoplastic stress models describing stress around producing cavity and verify those models against each other. Using those models, we evaluate the stress state on the cavity surface and derive sanding onset prediction models in terms of fluid pressure or pressure gradient
based on the given sand production
criterion. We then run field case studies and validate the sanding onset prediction models.
Rock strength
criterion plays important roles in sanding onset prediction. We investigate how the sanding onset prediction results vary with the selection of one or another rock strength
criterion. In this work, we present four commonly used rock strength criteria in sanding onset prediction and wellbore stability studies: Mohr-Coulomb, Hoek-Brown, Drucker-Prager, and Modified Lade criteria. In each of the
criterion, there are two or more parameters involved. In the literature, a two-step procedure is applied to determine the parameters in the rock strength
criterion. First, the Mohr-Coulomb parameters like cohesion So and internal friction angle ff are regressed from the laboratory test data. Then, the parameters in other criteria are calculated using the regressed Mohr-Coulomb parameters. We propose that the best way to evaluate the parameters in a specific rock strength
criterion is to perform direct regression of the laboratory test data using that
criterion. Using this methodology, we demonstrate that the effect of various rock strength criteria on sanding onset prediction is less dramatic than using the commonly used method. With this methodology, the uncertainties of the effect of rock strength
criterion on sanding onset prediction are also reduced.

▼ The role of composites in the industry has been increasing over the past few years. One of the main reasons for this phenomenon is due to these materials presenting the best properties of their constituents and often qualities that neither of the constituent materials have. However, as a consequence, composite structures are becoming more complex, and its behavior more difficult to predict.
The study of this dissertation arises from Crespo’s dissertation, and had its origin on the need to predict the behavior of composite materials specimens in a less expensive and faster manner. To fulfill this need, a methodology was developed using LS-DYNA finite element mesoscale models.
This methodology uses an explicit dynamic analysis, and is capable of testing composite specimen models subjected to tensile and compressive loads. However, this type of analysis is different from the one Crespo used and phenomenons like hourglass must be considered. For this case study the material model consists in a spread tow carbon fabric with 0°/90°, 15°/75° and 30°/60° arrangements. To simulate the behavior of this composite material, when subjected to external loads,
failure and damage propagation such as delamination, fiber and matrix
failure are implemented in the models. The
failure of the matrix and the fibers are controlled by a combined
failure criterion implemented in LS-DYNA code.
Knowing only the dimensions of the test specimens, the material properties were taken from Crespo’s dissertation. To validate the models, results were compared with Mangualde’s, whose methodology was developed using an implicit static analysis.
