In-plane mechanical properties of periodic honeycomb structures with seven different cell types are investigated in this paper. Emphasis is placed on honeycombs relative density between 0.1 and 0.3, such that initial yield associated short column compression or bending, occurring prior to elastic buckling. Effective stiffness strength these metal under in-plane compression, shear, diagonal (for manifest anisotropy) reported as functions density. Comparison among demonstrates the diamond...

Abstract Additively manufactured (AM) metallic materials commonly possess substantial microscale internal stresses that manifest as intergranular and intragranular residual stresses. However, the impact of these on mechanical behaviour AM remains unexplored. Here we combine in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments computational modelling to quantify lattice strains different families grains with specific orientations associated an 316L stainless steel under uniaxial tension. We...

Abstract Atomistic simulations were employed to investigate the structure and energy of asymmetric tilt grain boundaries in Cu Al. In this work, we examine Σ5 Σ13 systems with a boundary plane rotated about ⟨ 100 ⟩ misorientation axis, Σ9 Σ11 110 axis. Asymmetric energies are calculated as function inclination angle compared an relationship based on faceting into two symmetric each system. We find that low index normals do not necessarily have lower than similar angles, contrary previous...

A two surface stress space model is introduced with internal state variable repositories for fading memory of maximum plastic strain range and non-proportionality loading. Evolution equations isotropic hardening variables are prescribed as a function these accumulated strain, reflect dislocation interactions that occur in real materials.

Abstract Symmetric and asymmetric tilt grain boundaries in Cu Al were generated using molecular statics energy minimization a classical dynamics code with in-plane boundary translations an atom deletion criterion. The following dataset (NIST repository, http://hdl.handle.net/11256/358 ) contains atomic coordinates for minimum three-dimensional periodic simulation cells, facilitating their use future simulations. This is used to show the relative transferability of structures from one...
