    Off-Axis Properties of Cross-Ply Metal Matrix Composites at Quasi-Static and High Strain Rates
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Hall, Ian W.; Taşdemirci, Alper; Kara, Ali
    Cylindrical samples of a 0/90° cross-ply Nextel 610™/A1-6061 (∼55Vf%) metal matrix composite have been subjected to compression testing at quasi-static and high strain rates over a range of angles between 0° and ±45° with respect to the principal fiber directions. The results, combined with testing in the longitudinal, transverse and through thickness directions, provide a detailed description of the response of such composites over a wide range of orientations. In addition, metallographic and fractographic studies along with high-speed camera records provide detailed information about the sequence of deformation events leading to fracture. Results confirm not only the strong dependence of mechanical properties upon orientation but also the critical importance of precise fiber alignment and processing in obtaining the desired theoretical properties. A misalignment of 10° was sufficient to cause an -40% decrease in maximum stress and the properties were found to vary by >70% over the orientations investigated. The high strain rate properties were generally significantly greater than those measured quasi-statically. A numerical model based on the commercial explicit finite element code LS-DYNA was used to investigate the compressive deformation and fracture of the composite. Experimental results are compared with those of the numerical model. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Quasi-Static and High Strain Rate Properties of a Cross-Ply Metal Matrix Composite
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Hall, Ian W.; Taşdemirci, Alper; Derrick, J.
    A series of compression tests has been carried out at quasi-static and high strain rates on cylindrical samples of an alumina fiber/Al-6061 metal matrix composite. The composite plates were prepared with fibers in the 0°, 0/90° and ±45° orientations. It was found that the mechanical properties were strongly dependent upon the imposed strain rate, with fracture stress increases of >50% being noted for several orientations at high strain rates: these increases are not believed to be related to strain rate sensitivity of either the matrix or fibers but to arise from the inertia of fragments which remain in place after fracture and continue to bear load. Also, and in contradiction to behavior anticipated from the rule of mixtures, it was found that 0/90° samples exhibited properties superior to those of 0° unidirectional samples. High-speed photography was used to confirm the sequence of deformation and fracture events at high strain rate. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The Effect of Strain Rate on the Compressive Deformation Behavior of a Sintered Ti6al4v Powder Compact
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Taşdemirci, Alper; Hızal, Alpay; Altındiş, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.; Güden, Mustafa
    The high strain rate (220–550 s−1) and quasi-static (0.0016 s−1) compression deformation behavior of a sintered Ti6Al4V powder compact was investigated. The compact was prepared using atomized spherical particles (100–200 μm) and contained 38 ± 1% porosity. The deformation sequences of the tested samples were further recorded by high speed camera and analyzed as a function of strain. The failure of the compact, which was found to be similar in the studied high strain rate and quasi-static strain rate testing regimes, occurs through particle decohesion along the surface of the two cones in a ductile (dimpled) mode consisting of void initiation and growth and by void coalescence in the interparticle bond region. The effect of strain rate was to increase the flow stress and compressive strength of the compact while the critical strain corresponding to the maximum stress was shown to be strain rate independent.

    Dynamic Properties of Metal Matrix Composites: a Comparative Study
    (Elsevier Ltd., 1998) Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    Three distinctly different metal matrix composites have been tested at strain rates from quasi-static to ≈3000 s−1. It was found that the high strain rate response of each composite was determined primarily by (a) the response of the matrix in the absence of any reinforcement and (b) the damage formation and accumulation processes during deformation. High strain rate behavior of the short fiber composite was dominated by the matrix behavior at low strains but by fiber damage at high strains. The behavior of a whisker reinforced composite was dominated by the matrix properties at all strains. Re-loading tests produced increased fracture strains, indicating that adiabatic heating accelerates fracture of composites by permitting the development of local strain instabilities.

    Compression Testing of a Sintered Ti6al4v Powder Compact for Biomedical Applications
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Güden, Mustafa; Çelik, Emrah; Akar, Egemen; Çetiner, Sinan
    In this study, the compression deformation behavior of a Ti6Al4V powder compact, prepared by the sintering of cold compacted atomized spherical particles (100–200 Am) and containing 36–38% porosity, was investigated at quasi-static (1.6 10 3–1.6 10 1 s 1) and high strain rates (300 and 900 s 1) using, respectively, conventional mechanical testing and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar techniques. Microscopic studies of as-received powder and sintered powder compact showed that sintering at high temperature (1200 8C) and subsequent slow rate of cooling in the furnace changed the microstructure of powder from the acicular alpha (a) to the Widmanst7tten (a+h) microstructure. In compression testing, at both quasi-static and high strain rates, the compact failed via shear bands formed along the diagonal axis, 458 to the loading direction. Increasing the strain rate was found to increase both the flow stress and compressive strength of the compact but it did not affect the critical strain for shear localization. Microscopic analyses of failed samples and deformed but not failed samples of the compact further showed that fracture occurred in a ductile (dimpled) mode consisting of void initiation and growth in a phase and/or at the a/h interface and macrocracking by void coalescence in the interparticle bond region.
