This study aims to investigate the mechanical behavior of bainitic structures and bainitic-martensitic mixed structures in low alloyed steels. In this study, 51CrV4 and 60SiMn5 steels were used with different heat treatment cycles to get bainitic and bainitic-martensitic mixed structures. The specimens were austenitized at 880°C for 51CrV4 and at 950°C for 60SiMn5. It is followed by quenching in salt bath and isothermal holding at various temperatures above and below Ms temperature. Hardness, tensile and charpy impact testing were carried out. Both in 51CrV4 and 60SiMn5 steels, the specimens with bainite-martensite mixed structures show higher UTS values than 100% bainitic ones. The %elongation of 51CrV4 steel specimens were higher than that of 60SiMn5 specimens. The charpy impact toughnesses of 51CrV4 steel specimens varied in the range 12-25 J whereas that of 60SiMn5 speci- mens were below 10 J.

Mechanical behavior of CFRP confined low strength concretes subjected to simultaneous heating-cooling cycles and sustained loading
Erdil, B.; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-01-01)
This study aims to present the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) reinforced low strength cylindrical and prism concrete specimens under both heating-cooling cycles and sustained loading. Heating-cooling cycles range from -10 to 50A degrees C and the applied sustained load level is 40% of the ultimate strength of concrete. After 200 heating-cooling cycles and/or sustained load testing, specimens were tested to determine the mechanical behavior under uniaxial compression. The expe...
Mechanical properties of CdZnTe nanowires under uniaxial stretching and compression: A molecular dynamics simulation study
Kurban, Mustafa; Erkoç, Şakir (2016-09-01)
Structural and mechanical properties of ternary CdZnTe nanowires have been investigated by performing molecular dynamics simulations using an atomistic potential. The simulation procedures are carried out as uniaxial stretching and compression at 1 K and 300 K. The results demonstrate that the mechanical properties of CdZnTe ternary nanowires show significantly a dependence on size and temperature under uniaxial stretching and compression.

In this study, an experimental set-up for testing chevron type gasketed plate heat exchangers is utilized to investigate the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of different plate geometries. The experiments can be performed using various number of plates and wide range of plate sizes. The experiments are carried out for different temperatures, flow rates, and number of plates so that the Reynolds numbers (300-5250) and Prandtl numbers varies for all plates that have 30 degrees of chevron angle.
