The effect of inclusions on the high‐temperature low‐cycle fatigue performance of cast MarBN: Experimental characterisation and computational modelling
(Wiley, 2018-06-15)
The presence of inclusions is a known source of crack initiation and component failure in cast materials. In this work, the role of inclusions is investigated via a combined program of high-temperature low-cycle fatigue ...
Mechanical behavior and long-term life prediction of carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite laminates under artificial seawater environment
(Elsevier, 2019-12-06)
This paper presents an investigation on the long-term performance of carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy laminates in an artificial seawater environment with 3.5% salinity. Accelerated aging tests were conducted at 60 °C for ...
A process-structure-property model for welding of 9Cr power plant components: The influence of welding process temperatures on in-service cyclic plasticity response
(Elsevier, 2019-04-30)
A process-structure-property methodology is presented for welding of 9Cr steels under representative flexible operating conditions for a typical thermal power plant girth-welded pipe. The welding-induced evolution of ...
Influence of microstructural defects and hydrostatic pressure on water absorption in composite materials for tidal energy
(SAGE Publications, 2018-01-06)
The lifespan and economic viability of tidal energy devices are constrained, in part, by the complex degradation of the tidal turbine blade materials due to prolonged immersion in a hostile sub-sea environment. Seawater ...
A through-process, thermomechanical model for predicting welding-induced microstructure evolution and post-weld high-temperature fatigue response
(Elsevier, 2018-02-11)
This paper is concerned with the development of a modelling framework to predict the effects of welding and post-weld heat treatment on thereto-mechanical performance of welded material, as a step towards a design tool for ...
