Abstract: High strength-to-weight ratio materials are becoming of increasing importance in the automotive industry. Some aluminum alloy sheets offer strength equivalent to low-carbon sheet steel at one third ...

Abstract: 2024 aluminum tubes, heat treated to a T6 and T8 temper, were tested in combinations of tension-internal pressure and tension-torsion loading. Yield loci and flow behavior were determined for ...

Abstract: An analytical model was developed to predict the mechanical response to axial loading of oriented fiber composite materials containing a third (dissimilar) material at the fiber-matrix interface. ...
