Title: Additive Manufacturing of 3D Printed SiC Composites: Strengthening and Densification through Surface Modification and Use of Mineral Binders
Author: Chandrasekaran, Sujithra
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Engineering, Materials science, Mechanical engineering
Description: Manufacturing of dense SiC composites counts mainly on the thermal oxidation of the carbide into silica. The irregularity of the silica layer and its limited thickness weaken the bond between particles and diminish the good thermo-mechanical prope...

Title: Correction of the post-necking True Stress-Strain data using Instrumented Nanoindentation
Author: Romero Fonseca, Ivan
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Materials science
Description: The study of large plastic deformations has been the focus of numerous studies particularly in the metal forming processes and fracture mechanics fields. A good understanding of the plastic flow properties of metallic alloys and the true stresses ...

Title: Effect of confined rolling on structure-property relationships of Mg-Al alloys.
Author: Krishnan, Pavitra
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Materials science
Description: High performance, light weight alloys are need-of-the particularly in the defense, automotive and aerospace sectors. Magnesium is a prime candidate since it is the lightest structural metal having a mass density of 1.74g/cm3 and is the sixth most ...

Title: Fracture properties of graphene-like two-dimensional materials and topology optimization through neural networks for coupled thermo-mechanical problems

Title: Processing and properties of materials with or without adiabatic shear susceptibility
Author: Chen, Xiaoxue
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Materials science
Description: In this dissertation, two topic areas related to adiabatic shear banding (ASB) phenomenon were studied. Body centered cubic (BCC) metals and alloys may exhibit ASB under uniaxial high strain rate compression if the grain size is refined into the u...

Title: The Influence of Reinforcement Size on the Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of a Nanostructured Aluminum-Based Metal Matrix Composite
Author: Behm, Nathan
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Materials science, Nanoscience
Description: With increased availability and growing commercial applications, aluminum- based metal matrix composites show promise as high specific strength structural materials. Before they can be implemented however, they require thorough characterization an...
