Influence of Mechanical Parameters on Corrosion Behavior of Metal Coupons in Simulated Environmental Conditions
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of mechanical parameters—namely applied stress, surface roughness, and deformation history—on the corrosion behavior of metal coupons exposed to corrosive environments. Mild steel and aluminum alloy specimens were prepared with controlled variations in tensile stress, polishing grades, and cold-working levels to simulate real-world mechanical influences. These coupons were immersed in a 3.5% NaCl solution under ambient conditions, and their corrosion rates were monitored over a 30-day …

Phase – Field Modeling of Brittle and Ductile Fracture Under Complex Loading Conditions
Abstract: Phase-field modeling has emerged as a powerful computational framework for predicting fracture behavior in engineering materials, offering a unified description of crack initiation, propagation, branching, and coalescence without the need for explicit crack tracking. This study presents an in-depth examination of phase-field modeling applied to both brittle and ductile fracture under complex loading conditions, including multiaxial stress states, cyclic loading, thermal gradients, and dynamic impact. The phase-field approach regularizes the …

Design Analysis of PALF Natural Fiber Composite Laminate under Tensile Loading Condition using Simulation Approach
Abstract: Plant-based fibre reinforced materials are increasingly being employed for a variety of structural and non-structural purposes. Plant and animal-based fibres have different characteristics depending on a variety of circumstances. Mechanical qualities are primarily determined by parameters such as matrix, fillers, fibre content, fibre treatment, and fabrication techniques. The present work aim in analyzing the PALF natural fiber using simulation approach. In the process laminates are prepared as per ASTM standards …

Effect of Nanoclay Loading on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Composites
Abstract: The effects of multilayer silicate loading on hardness, tensile, and impact properties were examined by developing epoxy–nanoclay composites with 0–5 wt% nanoclay. A desirable compromise between reduced void content and higher Shore D hardness was reached with an ideal nanoclay loading of 3 wt%, which reflected improved load transfer and increased matrix stiffness as a result of limited polymer chain mobility. Tensile strength and modulus rose up to 3 wt% …

Improving the Mechanical and Interfacial Properties of Bhendi Fiber via Chemical Surface Treatments
Abstract: Because of its primary benefits—moderate strength and stiffness, low cost, and being a renewable, degradable, and ecologically friendly material—natural fibers are believed to have potential use as reinforcing agents in polymer composite materials. Due to their inherent hydrophilicity, they have a tendency to retain moisture, which can impair or soften the fibers' adhesion to the surrounding matrix. This can have an impact on the performance of composite materials used in …

Effect of Solution Heat Treatment and Aging on the tensile Properties of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy Component Manufactured by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing
Abstract: Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a cost-effective technique for fabricating components from the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, known for its high strength and utility in demanding applications. To maximize its strength, the alloy undergoes Solution Treating and Aging heat treatment, comprising three key steps: (i) Solution Treating: The alloy is heated to 950°C (just below the β transus) and held for 1 hour, increasing the β phase proportion. This step sets …

Effect of Process Variables on the Mechanical Characteristics of form Fabricated Materials
Abstract: Additive manufacturing prominent rapidly advancing technologies for producing 3D-printed products. Initially developed by stratasys, FDM technology emerged during the 1980s. This additive manufacturing technique builds products by extruding semi-molten material through a nozzle onto a platform. PLA and ABS are among numerous thermoplastics that are commonly used as filaments in this procedure. Purpose of research was to observe the effect of variables such as infill percentage, bed temperature, printing speed …
