Evaluation of the cementite morphology influence on the hydrogen induced crack nucleation and propagation path in carbon steels by Shabnam Karimi (19457575)

“…A drastic load decrease in the load-displacement (L-D) curve happened under −1550 mV charging for both microstructures accompanied by a straight crack growth path in spheroidite microstruc-ture, independent of grain boundaries or ferrite-cementite interfaces while a competition between the shear crack growth mechanism and the interfacial cracking determines the crack growth path in the lamellar microstructure.…”

On the selection of constitutive equation for modeling the friction stir processes of twin roll cast wrought AZ31B by Ammouri, A.H.

“…Proper numerical modeling of the Friction Stir Processes (FSPs) requires the identification of a suitable constitutive equation which accurately describes the stress-strain material behavior under an applicable range of strains, strain rates, and temperatures. While some such equations may be perfectly suitable to simulate processes characterized by low (or high) strains and temperatures, FSPs are widely recognized for their relatively moderate ranges of such state variables. …”
