▼ Many mechanicstic models aimed at predicting tissue
behavior attempt to connect constitutive factors (such as effects due to collagen or fibrin concentrations) with the overall tissue
behavior. Such a link between constitutive and material behaviors would allow for a better understanding of the mechanobiology of diseased states and how one might return the tissue to a healthy state. Therefore, a literature search into present mechanistic models was performed and yielded a variety of models that were analyzed in order to determine their uniqueness, a requisite characteristic for this aim. It was found that many of these models did not make uniqueness a defining characteristic in their development and thus cannot be used for multiscale modeling (connecting constitutive
behavior to material
behavior).The literature search was then extended and narrowed to specifically analyze
mechanical models describing vascular wall
behavior. Once again, it was found that uniqueness was lacking in these models. To develop a unique model for inflation strains, an inflation experiment utilizing a bladder, syringe, and a pressure sensor was conducted to provide pressure vs. volume data for a sheep aorta. The data was then used to develop a unique model for inflation strains in an aorta utilizing a constitutive framework developed by Dr. John Criscione.

▼ The application of engineering theory and analysis to bone has led to many insights regarding the etiology of increased skeletal fragility with aging and diseases such as osteoporosis. According to mechanics of materials theory, whole bone
mechanical behavior should depend on the amount of bone tissue, bone geometry, and tissue material properties. Through the use of micro-computed tomography, the influence of bone mass and geometry on whole bone strength and stiffness have been confirmed and quantified. With the application of nanoindentation to the study of bone, the ability to measure the
mechanical properties of bone at the micron length scale is now possible. However, most studies using nanoindentation have focused only on tissue-level properties and, therefore, relatively little is known about the relationships between tissue-level properties and whole bone
mechanical behavior. The objectives of this research were to 1) examine the effects of two composition changes, mineralization and crystallinity, on whole bone and tissue-level
mechanical behavior, and 2) examine changes in tissue-level composition and
mechanical properties due to osteoporosis. To investigate the effects of mineralization and crystallinity independently, two separate dietary interventions in rodents were used. First, vitamin D deficiency in growing rats was used to reduce cortical bone mineralization. The vitamin D deficient animals had compromised whole bone
mechanical behav- ior, as indicated by the lower failure moment and bending stiffness. To take into account the
mechanical property heterogeneity and cortex geometry when predicting whole bone
mechanical behavior, a density-weighted section modulus was calculated using composite beam theory. The weighted section moduli predicted whole bone
mechanical behavior better than geometric parameters or average
mechanical properties alone. In the second study, growing rats given fluoride had increased cortical bone crystallinity and reduced measures of whole bone
mechanical behavior. Cortical cross-sectional geometry was not different with fluoride, implying a difference in
mechanical properties was responsible for the altered whole bone
mechanical behavior; however, indentation modulus and hardness were not different. The discrepancies between tissue-level and whole bone
mechanical behavior suggest that interfaces between microstructural features and other mesoscale features influence whole bone
mechanical behavior. In the third study, tissue-level composition and
mechanical properties of osteoporotic cancellous bone from a fracture prone location were examined. Vertebral cancellous bone from female cadavers was divided into two groups, osteoporotic and not osteoporotic based on T-scores from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans. Tissue from osteoporotic donors had lower indentation moduli and showed a trend towards being less mineralized compared to tissue from normal and osteopenic individuals. Independent of reduced bone mass and altered trabecular architecture, lower indentation moduli…

▼ This research work tries to see the effect of soil remolding on the
mechanical behavior of red clay of Addis Ababa. It is tried to identify the
effect of remolding by conducting a series of laboratory tests such as
triaxial compression and consolidation tests on the undisturbed and
remolded soil samples. The soil was remolded by compacting at OMC. It
was also done basic tests to see the engineering properties of the soils.
The one dimensional consolidation tests were done on samples of
diameters of 50mm and 70mm and height of 18mm with the effective
consolidation stresses of 50 kpa to 1600 kpa. A total of eight onedimensional
consolidation tests were run, out of which four were
undisturbed and four were remolded samples. The deformation and hydromechanical
/permeability while loading/
behavior were examined using
the one dimensional consolidation test.
The triaxial tests were done on samples of 38mm and height of twice the
diameter. Two triaxial testing machines were employed on the testing
program. Soil samples collected from Kolfe areas were conducted on the
newly acquired Automatic triaxial testing machines and samples collected
from Addisu Gebeya area were tested on the semi automatic triaxial
compression machine procured two years ago. The type of triaxial test
employed was Consolidated undrained/CU/ with pore pressure
measurement and with the effective consolidation pressure of 150 kpa,
250 kpa and 350 kpa. A total of twenty-four triaxial CU tests were run out
of which twelve were undisturbed and twelve were remolded. The results of
triaxial tests were used to examine the stress-strain and strength
behavior.The results show that remolding reduces the peak deviator stress, effective
cohesion and permeability and increases amount of compression and time
required for consolidation.The results show that remolding reduces the peak deviator stress, effective

▼ The thesis studies the sintering behaviours and
mechanical properties of perovskite-structured
Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF) ceramics. The sintering behaviours
of BSCF are studied by sintering BSCF powder using a series of
sintering temperatures and dwell times. Under all circumstances,
only a cubic perovskite structure is identified in as-sintered
samples. The relative density of BSCF increases with increasing
sintering temperature and dwell time, but shows a more significant
increase with increasing temperature. While the grain size
increases with increasing sintering temperature and dwell time, it
is found that the increasing temperature contributes much more
significantly than increasing dwell time in grain growth. The shape
of grain size distribution profile is independent of sintering
temperature and dwell time, but the profile shifts with different
sintering conditions. The grain maintains an aspect ratio of 1.8
irrespective of sintering conditions. Similar findings are also
made on the Ni-doped BSCF, but it is found that Ni doping inhibits
the grain growth and retards the densification of BSCF while it has
little influence on the grain size distributions and grain aspect
ratio distributions. The grain growth exponent (n) and apparent
activation energy (Q) are also systematically studied. It is found
that grain boundary diffusion is the dominant controlling mechanism
for BSCF while both grain boundary and lattice diffusions are the
equally dominant controlling mechanisms for BSCF-Ni8. The fracture
stress of BSCF is measured by both three-point and ring-on-ring
bending tests at room and high temperatures. The fracture stress
determined by three-point bending tests is consistently higher than
that value measured by ring-on-ring tests for a given temperature.
By utilising Weibull statistics a close prediction is made of the
three-point values from the ring-on-ring values. Compared with the
Young’s modulus of BSCF obtained from three-point bending tests
between RT and 800 °C, the values determined from ring-on-ring
tests shows a fairly good agreement. However, the Young’s modulus
measured by both bending tests is lower than that value determined
by micro-indentation tests. Hardness and fracture toughness are
independent of grain size and grain orientation. Porosity is the
dominant factor in Young’s modulus, hardness and fracture toughness
of BSCF. The intrinsic hardness, intrinsic Young’s modulus and
intrinsic fracture toughness of BSCF are also determined. The
subcritical crack growth (SCG) of BSCF is also studied using
constant load method at RT and constant stress rate method at 800
°C. It is found that that BSCF is not susceptible to SCG at RT but
becomes relatively sensitive to SCG at 800 °C. The results are
subsequently used as a basis for a strength–probability–time (SPT)
lifetime prediction. Ni doping increases the Young’s modulus,
hardness and fracture toughness of BSCF determined
micro-indentation tests at RT. Both hardness and Young’s modulus
show a non-monotonic trend with Ni doping content, which…

▼ To ensure secure geological storage of carbon dioxide it is necessary to establish the integrity of the overlying sealing rock. Seal rock fractures are key potential leakage pathways for storage systems; understanding their behaviour in the presence of CO2 under reservoir conditions is therefore of great importance. This thesis presents experimental investigations into the hydraulic behaviour of discrete fractures within low permeability seal rocks during single phase supercritical CO2 flow, under varying mechanical and thermal conditions representative of in-situ conditions. An experimental rig was designed and built to enable the controlled study of supercritical CO2 flow through 38 mm diameter samples under high pressures and temperatures. Samples are placed within a Hassler-type uniaxial pressure cell and CO2 flow is controlled via high precision syringe pumps. Flow experiments with supercritical CO2 within the pressure range 10-50 MPa were undertaken at temperatures of 38°C and 58°C with confining pressures of 35-55 MPa. The effects of stress loading and temperature change on the hydraulic properties of the fractured sample were studied; continuous differential pressure measurement enabled analysis of hydraulic response. Experiments were undertaken on a pre-existing Wissey field Zechstein Dolomite fracture and three artificial fractures (two East Brae field Kimmeridge Clay samples and one Cambrian shale quarry sample). Fracture permeabilities ranged from 8 X 10-14 m2 to 6 X 10-11 m2 with higher permeabilities observed within the harder rock samples. A broadly linear flow regime, consistent with Darcy's law, was observed in the lowest permeability sample (East Brae). A Forchheimer-type non-linear flow regime was observed in the other samples. Transmissivity variations during experiments were used to infer the mechanical impact of stress and temperature changes. An increase in effective stress resulted in transmissivity reduction, suggesting fracture aperture closure. During initial stress loading cycles, and subsequent higher temperature stress loading, a component of this transmissivity reduction was found to be inelastic, suggesting permanent modification of fracture geometry during closure. Pre- and post-experiment fracture surface characterisation provides further evidence for the occurrence of plastic deformation. Transmissivity-stress relationships were elastic during subsequent external stress-loading cycles, suggesting elastic closure and opening of fractures without additional permanent fracture geometry changes. The impact of fluid property variations on fracture hydraulic conductivity, Kfrac, was also analysed. Under constant effective stress Kfrac was found to be higher within high temperature and low fluid pressure scenarios, due to higher density/viscosity ratios. However, under constant confining pressure, fluid pressure changes are coupled both to mechanical effects (from effective stress alteration) and hydraulic effects (from viscosity variation), with opposing impacts on fracture hydraulic…

▼ The thesis focuses on three different areas: development of constitutive models for unsaturated soils, improvement of the finite element code "Compass" for coupled flow-deformation analysis involving unsaturated soils and application of the improved code to the simulation of pressuremeter tests in unsaturated soils. On the constitutive side, a unique relationship is proposed between degree of saturation, suction and specific volume, by introducing dependency on specific volume in the simplified van Genuchten [48] equation. This is a significant improvement over the common assumption of a state surface expression for degree of saturation. If combined with an elasto-plastic stress-strain model predicting the variation of specific volume, the proposed relationship is capable of reproducing irreversible changes of degree of saturation and changes of degree of saturation experimentally observed during shearing. Predictions show very good agreement with experimental results from tests on compacted Speswhite Kaolin published in the literature. On the numerical side, a number of changes to the code "Compass" have been performed. The new relationship for degree of saturation is implemented in the code and the implementation is validated against three benchmark problems. Use of the new relationship for degree of saturation results in significantly different predictions to those obtained if a conventional state surface expression for degree of saturation is used (as present in the original code). Implementation of the water and air continuity equations in "Compass" has been corrected by expressing these equations in terms of flux velocities relative to the soil skeleton. This is the form in which the equations should be expressed if they are to be combined with Darcy's law for liquid and gas flows. The simulation of a notional laboratory test shows that the incorrect combination of Darcy's law with absolute flux velocities, as present in the original code, causes significant errors. The convergency algorithm at constitutive level employed in the code has been corrected by introducing residual flux terms in the two flow equations, analogous to residual forces in the equilibrium equation. These terms must be taken into account if a convergency algorithm for an elasto-plastic stress-strain model is used and the relationship assumed for variation of degree of saturation involves any dependency on net stresses. A numerical study of a notional laboratory test shows that omission of residual flux terms results in substantial errors and may cause failure to converge. The plane-strain formulation of code "Compass" has been corrected by imposing the condition of nullity only on the out-of-plane component of the total strain rate vector instead of the out-of-plane component of each single contribution to the total strain rate, as was done in the original code. Such inconsistency, due to the history of development of finite element programs, also appears in other examples published in the literature. Numerical simulations of two types of…

▼ It is a major scientific challenge to develop the light-weight materials with high performance simultaneously in diverse applications ranging from civil engineering to defence. Numerical results for composite plates of 5.4-mm, 7.5-mm and 9.6-mm thick bioinspired composite plates were compared with corresponding bulk plates under the impact of a rigid hemi-spherical projectile at same impact velocities. The most significant improvement was recorded for the 5.4-mm thick nacre-like aluminium alloy composite plate, which was attributed to the larger area of plastic deformation due to the tablet arrangement. Experiments data were collected to validate the numerical simulation. It has been found that the nacre-like composites of different thickness had better ballistic behaviour than the bulk ones. The aim of this thesis is to give general background and research progress about natural nacre and the corresponding nacre-inspired artificial composites, to provide the basis for preparing the detailed experimental and numerical study on the ballistic performance of nacre-like aluminium alloy composites. My following ballistic experiments are to validate the numerical simulation results that the nacre-like composite plate has better ballistic performance at high velocity due to the tablets arrangement and plastic deformation. From previous simulation results, 5.4-mm nacre-like plate has shown a significant performance improvement compared with same thickness bulk plate owing to the hierarchical structure induced high energy absorptions. Hence, plate thickness and projectile velocity play a significant role on the performance improvement of the proposed nacre-like AA7075-T651 composites. Further experimental works are needed to assess other crucial parameters for modifying the mechanical behaviours of such bioinspired materials.

▼ Crumbed Rubber Concrete (CRC) is made by partially or fully replacing fine aggregate from the conventional concrete mix with similar size crumb rubber particles, usually from scrap tyres, making it a sustainable alternative to normal concrete. Most of the previous studies on CRC investigated the influence of rubber particles on various aspects of the concrete by comparing the behaviours of different concrete mixes having same mix proportions except the proportion of crumb rubber. As a result, these studies compared the behaviours of concretes having different compressive strengths. This study aims to understand the behaviours of different CRC mixes of similar compressive strength and how they differ from the conventional concrete of same strength. To achieve this several CRC mixes having the similar compressive strength, and different mix proportions were developed, and specimens made from these mixes were used to compare their behaviour experimentally at a material level as well as at member level under various structural loads. In this study, flexural and shear behaviour of reinforced CRC beams were investigated under static load condition. Beams were also tested under repeated loading to evaluate their energy absorption capacity. These experimental results were used to compare the behaviour of similar strength CRC with different amount of rubber particles. Results were also compared with the predictions of design guidelines for conventional concrete to identify the difference between CRC and idealised conventional concrete of same compressive strength, and the applicability and accuracy of these guidelines on predicting the behaviour of CRC. Finally, the applicability of the existing constitutive models for conventional concrete for numerically simulating the behaviours of CRC structural members was examined. For this purpose, two constitutive models for concrete, available in commercial finite element software, were used to simulate the behaviours of the reinforced CRC beams and benchmarked against the experimental measurements. The study concluded that the similar strength CRC behaves similarly in material and structural level while having slightly reduced shear capacity. The energy absorption capacity of beams was not affected by rubber content. The available design standards and constitutive material models can be used in CRC with minor modifications to shear capacity and shear factor coefficient.

▼ The effect of strengthening by spinodal
decomposition on the mechanical properties and the wear behavior
has been investigated on cast copper-nickel-tin alloys. The
investigation was performed under various conditions by varying (a)
newlinenickel content from 4 to 15 wt. % while tin content is kept
at 6 wt. % (b) tin content newlinefrom 4 to 8 wt. % while nickel
content is kept at 6 wt. % and (c) aging temperature newlinefrom
300° C to 400° C with fixed alloy composition of Cu-5Ni-5Sn. After
the casting process, the specimens were homogenized, solution heat
treated and aged to induce spinodal decomposition and ordering
reaction. Then, the specimens were tested / examined for (a)
microstructure (b) micro-hardness (c) tensile strength, yield
strength and % elongation and (d) wear rate and coefficient of
friction. It was found that nickel contributes significantly to the
spinodal/ordering newlineprocess whereby increasing the magnitude
of the peak hardness, whereas the newlinecontribution of Sn is
marginal. Both Ni and Sn contribute significantly to the kinetics
newlineof the transformation whereby reducing the aging time, when
either of these elements newlineis increased. The wear rate was
found to be a function of hardness. The coefficient of friction is
observed to be a constant (0.4 - 0.6) and independent of hardness
(138 HV- 368 HV). Further, the peak hardness increases with aging
temperatures up to 400° C. The yield stress and tensile stress were
found to be proportional to the hardness of the newlinealloy. The
percent elongation decreases with increase in the hardness. The
yield stress newlineof the alloy was found to increase two times
than that of traditional cast Bronze alloys.

▼ The use of magnesium and its alloys, as the lightest structural materials, to decrease the weight, improve the fuel efficiency and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions has significantly increased in the automotive and aerospace industries in recent years. However, magnesium alloys are commonly used as die casting products. The current application of wrought magnesium alloy products is limited because of their poor ductility at room temperature due to the formation of a strong texture and restricted active deformation modes in wrought magnesium products. Moreover, to support the application of magnesium alloys in automobile and airplane components, their dynamic
mechanical response must be determined to evaluate their
behavior during impact events such as car crash and bird strike in airplanes. Therefore, in this research study, the dynamic
mechanical behavior of magnesium alloys at high strain rates was investigated. The effects of initial texture, composition, strain rate and grain size on the deformation mechanism were also determined.
Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar was used to investigate the dynamic
mechanical behavior of the magnesium alloys. Texture analysis on the alloy prior and after shock loading was done using X-ray diffraction. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the microstructural evolution in the alloys before and after shock loading. Chemical analysis and phase identification were done by energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis, respectively. Additionally, twinning type and distribution was determined by means of orientation imaging microscopy whereas dislocation types and distribution was determined using transmission electron microscopy. A visco-plastic self-consistent simulation was used to corroborate the experimental textures and possible deformation mechanisms.
The dynamic
mechanical behavior of cast AZ and AE magnesium alloys with different chemistries was investigated at strain rates ranging between 800 to 1400 s-1 to determine the effects of composition on the response of the alloys to shock loading. It was found that an increase in the aluminum content of the AZ alloys increased the volume fraction of β-Mg17Al12 and Al4Mn phases, strength and strain hardening but, on the other hand, decreased the ductility and twinning fraction, particularly extension twinning fraction, for all the investigated strain rates. In addition, increasing the strain rate resulted in considerable increase in strength of the alloys. Texture measurements showed that shock loading of the AE alloys resulted in development of a stronger (00.2) basal texture in samples with higher content of yttrium at the investigated strain rates. Increasing the yttrium content of the cast AE alloys decreased twinning fraction but increased dislocation density and volume fraction of the Al2Y second phase. As a result, the tensile strength and ductility of the alloys increased which is an interesting result for high-strain rate applications of AE alloys in comparison to AZ alloys.
The dynamic

▼ L'objectif principal de ce travail est d'étudier les propriétés d'un composite polymère-métal d'un point de vue physique, thermique, mécanique et électrique large bande. Pour cela, des fils d'or à haut facteur de forme (190) ont été élaborés par un procédé d'électrodéposition dans un template. Les fils submicroniques d'or ont été dispersés dans une matrice polymère PVDF pour l'élaboration des composites conducteurs faiblement chargés. Le comportement électrique des composites met en évidence le phénomène de la percolation électrique, avec un seuil de 1,33 %vol. La dispersion des fils submicroniques d'or au sein de la matrice PVDF est homogène, avec une légère orientation. L'analyse mécanique permet de mettre en évidence le rôle de renfort des fils d'or dans la matrice PVDF et l'influence des fils sur la structure physique du PVDF. Cela se traduit par une rigidification de la matrice PVDF et plus particulièrement l'effet sur la relaxation ac , associée à l'interface cristallite-phase amorphe du PVDF. L'étude de la conductivité statique et dynamique en basse (10-2 à 106 Hz) et haute (106 à 109 Hz) fréquence montre un changement de régime de transport de charge avec une activation thermique. La conduction par tunneling est prédominante à basse température, tandis que la conductivité au-delà est expliquée par les modèles d'Efros et Shklovskii et le modèle de saut de barrières corrélés (CBH), respectivement pour la partie statique et dynamique. Les paramètres déterminés avec les modèles présentent une bonne corrélation avec les propriétés mécaniques, ce qui permet d'améliorer la compréhension des phénomènes de transport de charge dans des systèmes hétérogènes tels les composites polymère-métal faiblement chargés.
The aim of this work is to study the properties of a polymer-metal composite, with regards to physical, thermal, mechanical and broad band electrical analyses. High aspect ratio gold nanowires (Au NW) were prepared using a template electrodeposition method (aspect ratio of 190 determined by image analysis). The gold nanowires were dispersed in a PVDF polymer matrix to form low-filled conducting composites. The electrical conductivity of the composites exhibit electrical percolation behaviour with a critical volume fraction of 1.33%. SEM images show a slightly oriented but homogenous dispersion of AU NWs within the PVDF matrix. Mechanical analysis confirms that the homogenous dispersion Au NWs reinforces the PVDF matrix and highlights the influence of Au NWs on the physical structure of the PVDF matrix. This is confirmed by an increase in G' values and more specifically the ac relaxation process (associated with the crystallite-amorphous phase interface). Analysis of static and dynamic conductivity for low (10-2 to 106 Hz) and high frequency (106 to 109 Hz) regions reveals a thermally-activated charge transport process: tunneling being the predominant mechanism at low temperatures, the Efros and Shklovskii (ES) and Correlated Barrier Hopping (CBH) models being responsible for static and dynamic conductivity,…

▼ In this research, the dynamic response and energy absorption characteristics of four different types of commercially available glass have been investigated experimentally. Soda Lime, Starphire, Borosilicate, and Fused Silica were characterized using a Dynatup 8250 drop weight impact test system, and a modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). In the low-velocity punch-shear experiment, similar trend has been observed for all glass types, and Starphire and Borosilicate demonstrated the highest total energy absorption. High strain-rate SHPB compression tests were carried out on cylindrical glass samples at two different strain-rates. Borosilicate showed higher compressive strength and energy absorption in comparison to the other glass types. The results indicated high dependency of compressive strength, failure strain, and specific energy absorption to strain-rate, in all four types of glass. Also, Borosilicate glass specimens with three different polished surfaces were tested to study the effects of surface polishing on their dynamic compression
behavior. A marked improvement has been observed in specimens with less surface flaws. A high-speed camera was also utilized (at 500,000 fps) to study the crack propagation and failure mechanism during the SHPB event. Brazilian disk indirect tensile tests were attempted on glass samples using a modified SHPB system. A high-speed video camera and Laser Occluding Expansion Gage (LOEG) system were used to measure the deformation in cylindrical glass specimens. Due to the brittle nature of the glass and equipment/instrumentation limitations, the low level of strain could not been detected.

▼ The viability of modern engineering structures and materials depends on actively designing against fatigue, which accounts for the majority of
mechanical failures. While additive manufacturing (AM) offers numerous advantages to conventional manufacturing techniques, the cyclic
behavior of AM parts must be understood before they can be safely used in areas such as the aerospace and biomedical industries. In this research, the
behavior of austenitic steel components produced via direct energy deposition (DED) wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) under cyclic loading was investigated. Paris-Law fatigue crack growth parameters were determined from experimental testing in an effort to deduce location-dependent properties and to compare to published data for the conventional material. Statistical ANOVA analysis provided inconsequential evidence of the dependence of damage accumulation on location or position within the WAAM structure. Further scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light optical microscopy (LOM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and electron backscatter detection (EBSD) investigation showed compressive residual stress, texture and large grain sizes resulting from high thermal gradients in the AM process. Primarily it was discovered that WAAM thermal gradients and resulting material
behavior, led to a decrease in damage propagation as compared to the conventional material at a given stress intensity range within the Paris-Law regime in austenitic steel. Additionally, Safe Life analyses were undertaken for WAAM austenitic steel. Experimental results of the cyclic response matched closely with literature for wrought austenitic steel, indicating that materials produced by WAAAM are not adversely affected by processed induced imperfections (e.g. porosity) such as other metal AM processes. In subsequent fracture surface investigation, large shear lips and microvoid coalescence was discovered which is typical in conventionally processed austenitic steels. Inelastic strain accumulation (ratchetting)
behavior was compared to predictions from finite element analyses using a combined Isotropic and Chaboche Non-Linear Kinematic Hardening material model which accurately captures the yield surface translation during cyclic loading. Experimental results displayed comparable ratcheting strains as predicted by the finite element model. Primarily it was discovered that continuum scale plasticity modeling can be used to predict ratcheting strain in AM austenitic steel; however discrepancies existed due to complex material
behavior observed at the microstructural level using SEM and EBSD. Further investigations are therefore necessary for better prediction of the deformation response of additively manufactured metals, which will require multiscale efforts such as phase field modeling, crystal plasticity, and probabilistic simulation techniques.

▼ Nano bio composites have emerged recently as an
efficient strategy to upgrade the structural and functional
properties of synthetic bone grafts Bioactive ceramics have
attracted wide attention because of their biocompatibility
Nanohydroxyapatite is considered the most suitable material for
bone replacement as it closely mimics the mineral part of the bone
tissue The applications as long bone substitute and load bearing
scaffolds are held up by the inherent low fracture toughness
exhibited by nHAp So it is necessary to develop composite materials
exhibiting improved biomechanical features And it is indispensable
to characterize nano hydroxyapatite before it is mixed with the
organic phase to form a nano biocomposite that mimics the natural
bone In this endeavor the synthesis of nano particle hydroxyapatite
powders by the wet chemical method is reported This method
incorporates a freeze drying step followed by calcination at 600 C
and a slurry of precipitated material of nHAp is allowed to dry in
air The materials were characterized by analytical methods
including FT IR XRD TG DTA and SEM FT IR studies confirm the
presence of hydroxyapatite with weak hydroxyl peaks in calcined
nHAp and XRD patterns show biphasic nature of nHAp with tricalcium

▼ Thss thesis presents the results of an experimental programme on the static mono-tonic response of cohesive-frictional granular materials. The purpose of this experimental programme was to gain insight into the
mechanical behaviour of uncemented sands, and sands with small percentages of cementation. With this objective in sight, the research involved understanding and delineating the e ects of four variables: the intermediate principal stress, stress inclination, cohesion (or cementation), and particle morphology. The hollow cylinder torsion (HCT) apparatus, which allows control over both the magnitude and direction of principal stresses, was used in this study to carry out a series of elemental tests on the model materials. The test results were analysed in a plasticity theory based framework of critical state soil mechanics.
Drained and undrained HCT tests were conducted on a model angular sand to understand the combined influence of intermediate principal stress ratio (b) and principal stress inclination ( ). Sand specimens were reconstituted to a given density and confining pressure, and were sheared to large strains towards a critical state. The stresses at the critical state with varying `b' were mapped on an octahedral plane to obtain a critical state locus. The shape of this locus closely resembles a curved triangle. Also these specimens showed increased non-coaxiality between the stress and strain increment directions at lower strains. This non-coaxiality decreased significantly, and the response at the critical state was by and large coaxial. The effect of `b' and ` ' on the flow potential, phase transformation, and critical state was also investigated. At phase transformation, ` ' plays a more dominant role in determining the flow potential than `b'. The shape and size of the critical state locus remained the same immaterial of the drainage conditions.
Next, small amounts of cohesion (using ordinary Portland cement) was added to this sand ensemble to study the
mechanical behaviour of weakly cemented sands. The peak in the stress strain curve was used to signal the breakdown of cohesion further leading to a complete destructuring of the sand at the critical state. The response of the cemented sand changes from brittle to ductile with increase in confining pressure, while reverses with increase in density and `b'. Stress-dilatancy response for the weakly cemented materials shows the non coincidence of peak stress ratio and maximum value of dilation unlike purely frictional materials. This mismatch in peak stress ratio and maximum dilation diminishes with increase in confining pressure. The peak stress (cemented structured sand) locus and the critical state (destructured) locus were constructed on the octahedral plane from these HCT tests. The critical state locus of the cemented sand when it is completely destructured almost coincides with the critical state locus of the clean sand. Using this experimental data set, some important stress-dilatancy relationships (like Zhang and Salgado) and failure…

▼ As it is widely known, the majority of the reinforced concrete structures located in coastal areas, suffer from the consequences of the corrosion factor. Chloride induced corrosion, in synergy with other hazardous factors, such as seismic actions or air pollutant emissions, is really harmful for the structures. The absence of rehabilitation actions is critical as well. The derived drop of durability, raises issues of security and reliability, concerning the structural integrity of the structures. Consequently, a great demand for handling such structures, is created.Although durability of the reinforced concrete structures is a major issue, only recently it captured the scientific community’s interest. This belated response resulted in lack of the quantification of the phenomenon, which was the reason for the non-inclusion of the issue in the applicable Standards for Rehabilitation. The extended study, analysis and quantification of the corrosion concequences premise laboratory reproduction of the corrosion phenomenon, with the use of accelerated experimental techniques.In the present dissertation thesis, an extended study was conducted, concerning the consequences of the corrosion phenomenon on steel reinforcement, not only as far as its mechanichal behavior is concerned, but also on the whole material structure.Precisely, several measurements were taken from real structures, emphasizing on regions of major importance for their structural integrity and their future extention, such as the protruding areas of steel reinforcement. The results that emerged raised questions about the actual load carrying capacity and the reliability of the unfinished reinforced concrete constructions, which remain inactive for a long period of time.Degradation of the mechanical performance of steel and the need to study further this phenomenon, led to the use of laboratory techniques of rapid simulation and reproduction of the corrosive environment. The methods used were salt spray chamber and impressed current density technique. Exposure conditions XS1, according to EN206 standard, were simulated for both corrosion methods. Bare and semi-embedded specimens were exposed to the corrosive media. The aim was to study the effect of the chlorides action on the unprotected surface of steel reinforcement as well as to evaluate their impact on the protruding area of the semi-embedded samples. The results were correlated to the measurements taken from real structures. Aditionally, two reinforced concrete columns were constructed (scale 1:2). Impressed current was used to corrode one of the columns, at a predetermined height from its bottom. Both columns were tested under constant vertical load with the simultaneous imposition of a horizontal deformation (drifts). The whole load constitutes a mechanical analog of seismic phenomena.The goal was to estimate the seismic response of the columns under the influence of both the corrosive agent and the mechanical strain, in areas characterized as “mechanically sensitive” for the constructions, given that…

▼ Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that uses lasers to melt and deposit metallic powders in layer by layer to coat a substrate or to build three dimensional object. However, the AM industry encounters problems in handling residual stresses in the cladded parts or coating that lead to high hardness and distortion. Also, anisotropic properties developed in the laser-cladded AM parts are a challenge to use them as a functional component. This study aims to understand those problems with the laser-cladding AM process using AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel (MSS) powder in a coaxial direct powder deposition method. Primarily, this study focuses on the effect of process parameters, microstructural evolution, and associated residual stress development in the single bead of laser-cladded 420 MSS. Subsequently, the study was expanded to analyze the
mechanical behavior of additive manufactured 3D samples using systematic approaches with X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and MTS
mechanical testing frame. This study revealed that laser speed has the most significant effect on the microhardness, while the powder feed rate has the most significant effect on the bead geometry. A detailed TEM study discovered various morphologies of martensitic phases that explained the reason behind the development of residual stress throughout the three zones, such as bead zone (BZ), dilution zone (DZ), and heat affected zone (HAZ) in a single bead clad. A high profile tensile residual stress (310–486 MPa) was observed in the upper BZ, while compressive stress (420–1000 MPa) was seen in the rest of the BZ and the DZ. This laser-cladded stainless steel
vi
showed a ~16% increase in yield strength (YS ~ 521 MPa), ~ 63% increase in tensile strength (TS ~ 1774 MPa), and a ~ 22% increase in ductility in terms of percentage of area reduction when compared with a similar 420 commercial grade MSS (YS - 483 MPa, TS - 1087 MPa), in the rolling direction with pre-hardened condition. The study showed that a post-cladding heat treatment at 565 °C for an hour reduced the tensile residual stress substantially in a single bead clad. A similar heat treatment also improved the fracture mode of 3D AM sample from brittle to ductile fracture and changed the anisotropic properties of the as-cladded sample in the transverse direction. This indicated that for design purposes, a simple post-cladding heat treatment (at 565 °C for an hour) is very important to minimize the anisotropy in the
mechanical properties of as-cladded transverse sample. Also, it showed that a parts building technique with 30° angle to the base improved the ultimate tensile strength and partially eliminated the directionality issue. These findings could be important information for the designers with respect to “design for AM strategies.” It is expected that the above findings will be useful for the laser-based additive manufacturing application of AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel in…

▼ Fission of actinides from nuclear waste in inert matrices (materials without uranium) can reduce the period in time that nuclear waste is more radiotoxic than uranium ore that is the rock from which ordinary reactor fuel is made. A pioneering study is performed with the inert matrices: MgO, MgAl2O4, Y3Al5O12, Y2O3 and CeO2-x. These inert matrices contain inclusions of actinide-oxides with a diameter of about 200 μm. UO2 is used as a phase of actinides to simulate the implantation of fission products in inert matrix fuels. After neutron irradiation, inter-particle fracture was present in fuels with matrices that do not form a solid solution with UO2. These cracks are caused by swelling of the actinide phase and insufficient creep of the matrix. The diffusion length of fission gases is significantly reduced by inter-particle fracture and thereby fission gas releases till 50% were measured. This inter-particle fracture may be prevented when inert matrix fuels are fabricated with porous actinide inclusions embedded in inert matrices that are polluted by actinides. The amount of helium generated during neutron irradiation of a few actinides from nuclear waste can be far larger than the amount of fission gases. Parameters and diffusion mechanisms to simulate diffusion of helium in MgAl2O4 were derived by thermal evolution of He concentration profiles, atomistic calculations and numerical analysis using original definitions of diffusion coefficients for inert gas in materials with defects for single crystal as well as polycrystal media. This study shows that, amongst others, the material degradation of MgAl2O4, caused by the generated amount of defects and He during irradiation conditions, is acceptable. But the pioneering study with UO2 as a phase of actinides, shows that the solid state swelling by fission products in MgAl2O4 is about ten times larger than this swelling in 238UO2 that is the matrix in fuel for commercial reactors. The commercial feasibility of reduction of actinides from nuclear waste, by neutron irradiation in inert matrices, requires more research.

▼ Lower limb tissue stiffness is contingent on various factors, including body composition, loading rates, and the geometry of the indenting object. In comparison to more conventional engineering materials, biological soft tissues possess complicated structures that exhibit unique nonlinear
mechanical behaviour. Being able to predict the gross
mechanical behaviour of human soft tissue under different loading conditions could enable researchers and engineers to improve the performance of biomedical devices through optimized human-device interfaces. In this study, a custom-built handheld indentation device was used to explore changes in leg tissue stiffness at rest and during isometric contractions. Corresponding force-displacement relationships were modelled using a two-parameter exponential growth function. Averaged across 18 subjects and two indentation locations (thigh/shank), deformation forces during activation increased by a factor of ~1.6x over the same displacement as inactive data. Thus, bulk tissue stiffness varies dramatically with underlying muscle activation; this should be considered in developing novel orthoses.

▼ Industries are searching for energy efficient zero-emission transport solutions to minimise
environmental impact from transportation [1]. A possible solution to this can
be the use of structural battery composites which combines the ability to take mechanical
load while also store electrical energy [1], i.e. combining the functionalities
of structures and batteries. The aim of this thesis is to develop a model which can
predict the thermo-mechanical behaviour of a laminated structural battery composite.
It is conducted in collaboration with an other master’s thesis which instead
focus on the battery modelling [2].
The laminated structural battery composite studied in this project has a similar
structure to a regular Li-ion battery. The simplified model, made in comsol, was
constructed as a three-layered battery unit cell where each layer’s properties was
approximated by using composite micro-mechanics models. The boundary conditions
were such that only the top boundary was allowed to move while having a
convective heat flux applied.
As the behaviour is only modelled (numerical investigation), i.e. no manufacturing
or testing was conducted on real batteries, there is no way to know how good the
modelled prediction actually compares to the reality. Instead investigation is made
as a sensitivity study, to see how different parameters change the outcome which
includes time, generated heat in the battery cell, heat transfer coefficient of the heat
flux and thicknesses of the different layers.
The results show that after some time a steady state temperature will be reached
as long as the heat transfer coefficient is non-zero. This steady state temperature
is important for future thermal experiments as a too low temperature will give misleading
results. This thesis has though shown that it can be controlled by changing
e.g. the generated heat from the battery cell by changing the C-rate or the heat
exchange with the surroundings. The conclusion is therefore that this developed
framework, in combination with the collaborated thesis [2], can be used to guide
future experiments on the thermo-mechanical behaviour of a laminated structural
battery composite.

▼ Mg alloys have been extensively investigated because they are promising engineering materials with a low density and high specific strengths. However, poor formability at low temperature has been a major obstacle limiting their widespread industrial applications. Recent investigations indicated that plastic deformation of Mg alloys at relatively high strain rates at high temperatures promotes dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and this substantially improves both their formability and mechanical properties. However, there are still some outstanding issues on DRX during high strain-rate deformation, which include (1) it is not clear how crystallographic orientation and initial microstructure affect DRX and (2) how strain rate influences the mechanical responses at different temperatures is largely unknown. A commonly used Mg alloy, AZ31 (Mg–3Al–1Zn, in wt. %), was used to explore the abovementioned two outstanding issues in this study. The microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of samples with three different grain orientations (the c-axis of the samples being generally 0°, 45° and 90° away from the loading direction) were investigated. The following major conclusions were reached: (1) sample orientation and the original twins affect significantly the DRX behaviour deformed under high strain rate at high temperature. To promote DRX, it is crucial to have significant local dislocation accumulation. This can be achieved by dislocation activities starting from the early stages of deformation and effective barriers that block the dislocation motion. Early activation of dislocation slip is achieved by appropriate sample orientation. Both deformation twins and pre-existing twins can act as barriers for dislocation activities. The effect of pre-existing twins becomes significant if there was no deformation twinning; (2) at high temperature, increasing strain rate dramatically refines grain sizes in all samples, leading to remarkable increase of the flow stresses. The strain rate effect on microstructural evolution varies remarkably with sample orientation; and (3) at high temperature, samples present different basal texture after the deformations at different strain rates. It is because the basal texture of non-DRX areas is getting significantly stronger with the increase of strain rate in some samples. Meanwhile, the ratio of non-DRX areas is considerably higher in these samples than the other sample.

▼ Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs) are a unique member of high performance fibre reinforced cementitious composites, featuring outstanding tensile strain-hardening capacity with superior tensile strain capacity and multiple microcracking with self-controlled tight crack width. Due to the importance of the tensile behaviour of the ECC, a hierarchical multiscale modelling method is developed for effective and efficient characterisation of the
mechanical behaviour of ECCs under static and fatigue tensile loading. A generic analytical model is developed for crack bridging analysis in short fibre reinforced cementitious composites such as ECCs, which is the characteristic
mechanical behaviour of ECCs at the microscale and lower mesoscale. The model predicts well the crack bridging stress-crack opening displacement relation. A representative volume element (RVE) model is proposed to model the joint response of the uncracked matrix and multiple cracks of ECCs at the upper mesoscale. The material randomness of ECCs is also considered in the RVE model. The RVE model is analysed by a hybrid cohesive zone model-extended finite element method (hybrid CZM-XFEM) method introduced in this work, which is used to simulate the multiple cracks adaptively as well as describe the crack cohesive behaviour using a simplified efficient cohesive model proposed based on the crack bridging analysis at the microscale and lower mesoscale. To characterise the
mechanical behaviour of ECCs under fatigue tensile loading, degradation models of the micromechanical properties are proposed, and a cycle-dependent crack bridging relation, which accounts for both the interface degradation and fibre fatigue rupture, is developed based on the degradation models. The bridging stress degradation of ECCs under fatigue loading is modelled through a cyclic analysis based on the multiscale modelling method and the cycle-dependent crack bridging relation. A polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibre reinforced ECC (PVA-ECC) by using a local sand instead of the normally used fine silica sand is developed. The effect of the mix proportion, specimen dimension on the static
mechanical properties of the PVA-ECC is investigated experimentally. The characteristics of the variation in the static tensile properties of the ECC is also demonstrated. The crack bridging degradation of the PVA-ECC under fatigue tensile loading is tested.

▼ Geothermal energy is one of the more sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels that could facilitate the energy transition. The production of geothermal energy incorporates the use of corrosion inhibitors to protect the steel well-parts from the corrosive production fluid. The injection of inhibitors leads to a risk of exposing the reservoir rock to these solutions. Up until now no data has been published to describe the effects of the corrosion inhibitor on the
mechanical reservoir rock properties. This thesis aims to remedy this situation by performing compressive triaxial experiments on rock samples which have been saturated with inhibitor solutions. Two rock types which are representative of geothermal reservoir rocks were tested using two different inhibitors. The results were compared to a set of control experiments performed on water-saturated samples. The sandstone experiments show no discernible difference between the different fluid-types. The limestone experiments do show a number of differences: The limestone samples that were saturated with the first inhibitor type saw an increase in rock cohesion and a decrease in internal angle of friction. In contrast limestone samples that were saturated with the second inhibitor saw a decrease in rock cohesion and an increase in internal angle of friction. The lack of difference between the sandstone samples could be attributed to the inert nature of the constituent minerals. Limestone minerals are chemically more reactive and even though the exact nature of the chemical processes which lead to the observed differences remains unclear, a number of potential explanations are provided. We suggest that the change in
mechanical rock parameters in the limestone rock are a result of the adsorption of the inhibitor components onto the particle surface. This adsorption alters the particle surface charge which leads to a change of the electrostatic repulsive forces. Additionally the same adsorption may affect the interparticle friction of our rock samples.

▼ Reinforced thermoplastic pipes (RTPs) are considered as prospective alternatives to traditional steel pipes in various offshore oil and gas applications due to their attractive properties such as better corrosion resistance, high stiffness and strength to weight ratios and low maintenance costs .In this work , studies of the
mechanical behaviour of RTPs composed of pipe grade polyethylene (PE) and aramid fibres, and subjected to various loads are conducted using Finite Elements Analysis (FEA). The RTP is modelled using shell elements available in Abaqus/Standard with both geometric and material nonlinearities considered. In order to model the material nonlinearity, equations describing the nonlinear stress-strain relationship of PE are adopted in the material models which reflect strain-dependent
mechanical characteristics of PE and fibre-reinforcedPE composites during loading . Based on these models, numerical algorithms have been developed using the FORTRAN programming language and implemented through user-defined subroutines, UMATs . The developed modelling approach has been verified by comparisons with experimental and computational results reported in the literature.The pressure capacity of an RTP is investigated as it is a primary concern in designing offshore pipes. It was found that the nonlinear
mechanical behaviour of PE enables the RTP to avoid premature material failures in the PE matrix, liner and cover. Since the spoolability of RTPs is essential in their installation process, their flexural behaviour is also analysed. The analysis showed that the estimation of the minimum allowable bend radius of the RTP can be improved by using the proposed modelling approach. It was found that the sufficient spoolability of RTPs can be alsoachieved by employing certain one and two angle-ply reinforcing layer systems, and the reel diameter could decreased by 24.29% . This will result in significant reduction in the transportation and material costs during the installation phase of the pipeline.Several combined loading cases are considered. For each load combination, parametric studies have been conducted. The failure modes are found to be dependent on loading paths and types of loads applied. Based on the computational results obtained, design guidelines and recommendations that could be used in practical design of RTPs for offshore applications are formulated.

▼ A transition towards more renewable energy sources such as wind- and solar energy is underway. These sources can be unpredictable with regard to energy production and therefore energy storage has become a major concern. A promising technique, Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS), converts excess energy into hydrogen and stores it underground, after which, by reversing the process, the stored energy can be used when the imbalance between supply and demand is great. Hydrogen storage in salt caverns is particularly attractive because of their high sealing capacity, low amount of cushion required, the inert nature of rock salt and high possible injection and withdrawal rates. For energy storage purposes, these salt caverns are exposed to different cyclic loading conditions during operation, resulting in variations in stress in and around the cavern. Investigation of the
mechanical response of rock salt under cyclic loading conditions is essential for the safety assessment and usability of the cavern. The response of the system to varying loading conditions can be mainly divided into two groups, either time-dependent or stress-dependent. The main focus of this thesis is to record the stress-dependent behaviour of rock salt under varying loading conditions. More specifically, it focuses on nonlinearity that occurs due to viscoplasticity. This phenomenon can be described as the rate dependent behaviour of a material that occurs when a material exceeds a certain stress level, after which irreversible deformation occurs. This thesis describes the development of a 2D FEM (finite element method) simulator on an unstructured grid that captures the
mechanical response. To model the stress-dependent behaviour, the viscoplastic model proposed by Desai is used. This model is based on the non-associated flow rule and takes into account material dilatancy and compressibility. In addition, the model allows for hardening, the tensile strength of rock salt and variation in yield behaviour with pressure variation. Sonar data from cavern EPE S43 is utilised to test the simulator. This case showed that irreversible deformation occurs as a result of the stress-dependent behaviour of rock salt. For this specific cavern, the total working volume of the cavern decreased roughly by 0.0003% over three operating cycles, indicating that viscoplastic deformation itself does not pose significant risks to the cyclic storage of hydrogen in salt caverns.
