Relationship between single and bulk mechanical properties for zeolite ZSM5 spray-dried particles

In this work typical mechanical properties for a catalyst support material, ZSM5 （a spray-dried granular zeolite）, have been measured in order to relate the bulk behaviour of the powder material to the single particle mechanical properties. Particle shape and size distribution of the powders, determined by laser diffraction and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, confirmed the spherical shape of the spray-dried particles. The excellent flowability of the material was assessed by typical methods such as the Hausner ratio and the Cart index, This was confirmed by bulk measurements of the particle-particle internal friction parameter and flow function using a Schulze shear cell, which also illustrated the low compressibility of the material. Single particle compression was used to characterize single particle mechanical properties such as reduced elastic modulus and strength from Hertz contact mechanics theory. Comparison with surface properties obtained from nanoindentation suggests heterogeneity, the surface being harder than the core. In order to evaluate the relationship between single particle mechanical properties and bulk compression behaviour, uniaxial confined compression was carried out. It was determined that the Adams model was suitable for describing the bulk compression and furthermore that the Adams model parameter, apparent strength of single particles, was in good agreement with the single particle strength determined from single particle compression test.     

Anisotropic Mechanical Properties of SAC Solder Joints in Microelectronic Packaging and Prediction of Uniaxial Creep Using Nanoindentation Creep

In this paper, the mechanical properties and creep behavior of lead-free solder joints has been characterized by nano-mechanical testing of single grain SAC305 solder joints extracted from plastic ball grid array (PBGA) assemblies. The anisotropic mechanical properties characterized include the elastic modulus, hardness, and yield stress. An approach is suggested to predict tensile creep strain rates for low stress levels using nanoindentation creep data measured at very high compressive stress levels. The uniaxial creep rate measured on similarly prepared bulk (large) specimens was found to be of the same order-of-magnitude as the creep rate observed in single-grain BGA joints, with chararacteristically (slightly) higher creep strains measured during nanoindentation. This suggests that the same creep mechanism operates in both size domains. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and nanoindentation testing further showed that the modulus, hardness, and creep properties of solder joints are highly dependent on the crystal orientation.

Effect of Varying Test Parameters on Elastic–plastic Properties Extracted by Nanoindentation Tests

A systematic experiment was performed in an effort to investigate how the levels of certain test parameters affect the values of elastic modulus, hardness, yield stress, and strain hardening constant obtained using nanoindentation test. Maximum applied load, loading (unloading) rate, and hold time at maximum load were varied at three levels. The effects of these testing parameters were investigated through a three-level, full factorial design of experiment. The experiments were conducted on ultrafine Al-Mg specimens that were mechanically extruded. Both longitudinal and transverse extrusion directions were examined to investigate effects of anisotropy on mechanical properties and evaluate the persistence of observed variations due to test parameters on different materials orientations. An indentation size effect (ISE) was observed demonstrating that maximum load—and thereby maximum indentation depth—can have a significant effect on values of hardness and elastic modulus. Hardness values decreased with higher loading rates, and higher rates of unloading resulted in higher values of elastic modulus (5–10 GPa increases). Strain-hardening exponent showed a decreasing trend with increasing loading rate while yield stress exhibited a consistent correlation to hardness across all studied parameters. The material exhibited very little creep during the hold period, and values of the calculated properties were not significantly altered by varying the length of the hold time. Anisotropy effect was observed, particularly in the values of yield strength. This is attributed to the preferred grain orientation due to extrusion.

Local mechanical properties of the 6061-T6 aluminium weld using micro-traction and instrumented indentation

The local mechanical properties of a weld zone, in a 6061-T6 aluminium alloy subjected to the modified indirect electric arc technique have been studied. The mechanical properties of the base metal, the weld metal and the heat affected zone were determined by means of usual and instrumented indentation testing, as well as micro-traction testing. To analyse the heat input effect resulting from the welding process, the evolution of the weld zone size was evaluated by means of classical indentation under a constant applied load. The results were presented using a Vickers hardness map representation. This allows monitoring exact hardness variation while leading to the identification of the different zones of the welded joint. Instrumented indentation testing was carried out to determine the local mechanical properties, such as the yield stress, the bulk modulus and the strain-hardening exponent. Obtained results are compared to those derived from tensile tests conducted on micro-specimen cuts taken from the weld zone. It was observed that yield stress values are directly comparable for indentation and micro-traction experiments. As for the elastic properties, no comparison was possible since the bulk modulus is measured by indentation, whereas it is the Young’s modulus by tensile test. The micro-traction testing seems to be more sensitive to represent the work hardening of a material since the corresponding exponent is found to be constant by instrumented indentation.     

Characterization of the Grain-Level Mechanical Behavior of Eglin Sand by Nanoindentation

Characterization was made on the structure and grain-level mechanical behavior of Eglin sand (Quikrete #1961 sand quarried in Pensacola, FL). The as-received assorted sand was sorted to six grain sizes: 0.60 mm, 0.50 mm, 0.42 mm, 0.30 mm, 0.212 mm, and 0.15 mm. The sand chemical constituents and crystalline structures were determined using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The Young’s modulus and hardness were determined using nanoindentation with a Berkovich tip, and the fracture toughness was measured using a cube-corner tip. The median Young’s modulus, hardness and fracture toughness were determined as 90.4 GPa, 12.8 GPa and 2.32 MPa?m^0.5, respectively. The mechanical properties were analyzed statistically and the parameters of the Weibull distribution were determined. The grains show highly ductile behavior under nanoindentation due to confinement by high pressure induced by Berkovich tip. An inverse problem solving approach using finite element method (FEM) with the consideration of the Ramberg-Osgood model was used to determine the stress–strain relationship for individual sand grains.     

Mechanical Properties of Microcapsules Used in a Self-Healing Polymer

The elastic modulus and failure behavior of poly(urea-formaldehyde) shelled microcapsules were determined through single-capsule compression tests. Capsules were tested both dry and immersed in a fluid isotonic with the encapsulent. The testing of capsules immersed in a fluid had little influence on mechanical behavior in the elastic regime. Elastic modulus of the capsule shell wall was extracted by comparison with a shell theory model for the compression of a fluid filled microcapsule. Average capsule shell wall modulus was 3.7 GPa, regardless of whether the capsule was tested immersed or dry. Microcapsule diameter was found to have a significant effect on failure strength, with smaller capsules sustaining higher loads before failure. Capsule size had no effect on the modulus value determined from comparison with theory.
