Abstract:

Naturally occurring cellular materials are always optimized in terms of morphology, structural resistance, and functionality. The use of cellular materials is based on the application as well as the loading condition. Cellular materials are composed of an interconnected network of struts, plates, or repeating unit cells, forming edges or faces. The properties of these structures can be tailored according to the requirements by changing one or more of the parameters mentioned above. This makes cellular materials suitable for various applications ranging from aerospace to biomedical. In biomedic

In recent years there have been significant new developments in welding processes for joining stainless steel and dissimilar metals. This is associated with the rise in interest of using stainless steel in the automotive industry from both car manufacturers and stainless steel producers. The main reason for using stainless steel within the automotive industry is the combination of formability and high strength but also the improved corrosion resistance when compared to zinc coated mild steel.

Abstract:

Predictions of finishing stand loads in the hot strip mill require a precise understanding of the microstructural evolutionary changes occurring during and after deformation. In order to generate this understanding, it is important to use reliable and accurate techniques. Hence, suitable equipment was developed to produce a controlled testing medium. Single and double uni-axial compression testing was carried out on two steels: a niobium-bearing HSLA and a carbon manganese steel. Testing was carried out between 850°C, 950°C and 1050°C at strain rates of 0.01/s to 1/s, with true strain reductio

The key to the understanding of the mechanical behavior of dual phase (DP) steels is to a large extent to be found in the microstructure.

Abstract:

Duplex stainless steels can be very attractive alternatives to austenitic grades due to their almost double strength at equal pitting corrosion resistance. When welding, the duplex alloys normally require addition of filler metal, while the commodity austenitic grades can often be welded autogenously. Over-alloyed consumables are used to counteract segregation of important alloying elements and to balance the two phases, ferrite and austenite, in the duplex weld metal. This work focuses on the weldability of the recently-developed lean duplex stainless steel LDX 2101® (EN 1.4162, UNS S32101).

Several different alloys are welded including plain carbon steel, high-temperature steels, and several traditional and advanced superalloys. Across all studied weld systems, the following conditions led to stronger welds: higher forces and feedrates, lower temperatures, and moderate or limited upsets. In the best cases, post-weld strengths were nearly equal to basemetal strength. Tradition holds that large and symmetric upsets are necessary for good welds, but this study contradicts that notion.

Abstract:

Hard gelatin capsules have been used for drug delivery for a long time. The current production process takes advantage of the very unusual properties of gelatin: gelation, very low viscosity, film mechanical properties and film solubility. Although the hard gelatin capsules present many advantages compared to other drug delivery systems, their uses are restricted because of the animal origin of the gelatin. A HPMC gelling agent system is currently used for producing animal product free hard capsules. This work examines the possibility of using a different system in a similar production process

Abstract:

Although the tensile mechanical properties of tendon have been well characterised, the viscoelastic and anisotropic properties remain uncertain. This thesis addresses the anisotropic and viscoelastic material properties of tendon. A method to characterise the three-dimensional shape of tendon is reported and experiments to characterise the fibre-aligned and fibre-transverse viscoelastic properties of tendon are presented. The cross-sectional profiles of bovine digital extensor tendons were determined by a laser-slice method. Linear dimensions were measured within 0.15 mm and cross-sectional ar

Abstract:

Resilin is an almost perfect elastic protein found in many insects. It can be stretched up to 300% of its resting length and is not affected by creep or stress relaxation. While much is known about the static mechanical properties of resilin, it is most often used dynamically by insects. Unfortunately, the dynamic mechanical properties of resilin over the biologically relevant frequency range are unknown. Here, nearly pure samples of resilin were obtained from the dragonfly, Libellua luctuosa, and dynamic mechanical analysis was performed with a combination of time-temperature and time-conce

Abstract:

When we stretch and contract a rubber band a hundred times, we expect the rubber band to fail. Yet our heart stretches and contracts the same amount every two minutes, and does not fail. Why is that? What causes the significantly higher elasticity of certain molecules and the rigidity of others? Equally importantly, can we use this information to design materials for precise mechanical tasks? It is the aim of this dissertation to illuminate key aspects of the answer to these questions, while detailing the work that remains to be done. In this dissertation, particular emphasis is placed on the

Abstract:

Natural fibers show potential to replace glass fibers in thermoset and thermoplastic composites. Kenaf is a bast-type fiber with high specific strength and great potential to compete with glass fibers. In this research kenaf/epoxy composites were analyzed using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). A three-point bend apparatus was used in the DMA testing. The samples were tested at 1 hertz, at a displacement of 10 μm, and at room temperature. The fiber volume content of the kenaf was varied from 20%-40% in 5% increments. Ten samples of each fiber volume fraction were manufactured and tested. The
