An asymmetric elastic-plastic analysis of the load-controlled rotating bending test and its application in the fatigue life estimation of wrought magnesium AZ31B
(Elsevier, 2014-07-01)Due to different deformation mechanisms arising from limited slip systems in HCP wrought magnesium alloys, their yield and hardening in tension and compression are different. Consequently, the cyclic behavior of these ... -
Characterization and Modeling of Forged ZK60 Mg Alloys under Quasi-static and Fatigue Loadings
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)In response to impending changes to the environmental regulations on the vehicles’ gas consumption rate, the transportation sector is motivated toward the widespread adoption of lightweight materials in the manufacturing ... -
Characterization of magnesium spot welds under tensile and cyclic loadings
(Elsevier, 2011-12-01)Resistance spot welds of a magnesium alloy were characterized in terms of microstructure, hardness and monotonic and cyclic properties. Microstructural features in base metal and different zones in the weld region were ... -
Effects of Ca and Ce on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-Zn Alloys
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-14)The effects of Ca and Ce on the precipitation behaviour and microstructural characteristics of Mg-Zn based alloys are investigated by comprehensive multi-scale characterization and analysis. The elements Ca and Ce are ... -
Experimental Characterization and Constitutive Modeling of AZ31B and ZEK100 Magnesium Alloys for Monotonic and Reverse Loading Paths
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)Finite element (FE) simulations are widely used in automotive design processes to model the forming behavior of sheet metals. Comprehensive material characterization and the availability of suitable constitutive models are ... -
Fatigue characteristics and modeling of cast and cast-forged ZK60 magnesium alloy
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)The fatigue behavior of as-cast and cast-forged ZK60 magnesium alloy was investigated via fully-reversed strain controlled fatigue tests at different strain amplitudes. Microstructure analysis, texture measurement, and SEM ... -
Multiaxial cyclic behaviour and fatigue modelling of AM30 Mg alloy extrusion
(Elsevier, 2017-04-01)Multiaxial fatigue characteristics of AM30 Mg alloy extrusion are studied through fully-reversed strain controlled cyclic experiments including pure torsional and combined axial-torsional at 0, 45 and 90 phase angle shifts. ... -
Role of loading direction on cyclic behaviour characteristics of AM30 extrusion and its fatigue damage modelling
(Elsevier, 2017-07-18)Anisotropic fatigue and cyclic behaviour of AM30 Mg alloy extrusion is investigated by performing fully-reversed strain-controlled tension-compression cyclic tests at strain amplitudes between 0.3% and 2.3%, along extrusion ...
