Determination of thermo-mechanical variables during plain strain compression testing by Buchanan, James McCallum

“…The study showed that gTapbite lubrication breakdown occurs progressively above 300 °C, leading to a change in strain and strain rare distribution because of an increased coef6cient of friction as the test temperature is increased. …”

Experimental study of shear behaviour of high density polyethylene reinforced sand under triaxial compression by Wanyama, Paul

“…The plastic strip reinforcement parameters comprised of 7.5 mm to 30 mm lengths, and concentrations of 0.1 % to 0.3 % by weight of dry sand. Triaxial compression tests were performed using confining pressures of 50 kPa, 100 kPa, 200 kPa, 300 kPa and 400 kPa at a shear rate of 0.075 %/min, and to a maximum strain of 10 %. …”

Innovative cleaner production technique: foam glass production from lead crystal glass sludge by ElKersh, Hussein Abdel Fattah

“…The leaching test of the sludge showed that it is a hazardous waste because its leachate has a lead concentration of 7.5 mg/l, while the leachate of the produced foam glass was proved to have a negligible lead concentration of less than 0.02 mg/l. …”

Investigating effects of interpass time during hot finish rolling on the evolution of texture in AA3104 Can Body Stock by Chaole, Nkopo

“…This study investigated the microstructure and texture evolution in AA3104 can body stock (CBS) during hot finish rolling by simulating multi-pass, high-temperature plane strain compression tests on a Gleeble 3800. Two scenarios were simulated: Position A, with a longer inter-pass time between the first two passes and a shorter time before the third pass, and Position B, with reversed timings. …”

Characterisation of Glass Fibre Polypropylene and GFPP based Fibre Metal Laminates at high strain rates by Govender, Reuben Ashley

“…High strain rate (5x10^2 to 10^3 /s) compression tests were conducted on GFPP using a compressive Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and a Direct Impact Hopkinson Pressure Bar (DIHPB), in the through-thickness and in-plane directions. …”

Fabrication and characterization of aluminum-carbon nanotubes (Al-CNT) functionally graded cylinders by Morad, Sherry Samy

“…Powder metallurgy process was followed; starting with cold compaction and followed by sintering, then hot extrusion to produce compacts of Al-CNT FGMs of high density. Mechanical testing and characterization were carried out on the produced specimens and these included; mechanical compression, tension, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy as well as nanoindentation. …”

The effect of the surface condition of Aluminium ingot (AA3003) during roll bonding with clad Aluminium alloy (AA4045) to form an Aluminium brazing material by Mutsakatira, Innocent

“…Simulation of the hot rolling at the University of Cape Town's (UCT's) Centre for Materials Engineering (CME) laboratory was achieved using plane strain compression testing (PSC) on the Gleeble 3800. The PSC sample geometry of 30 mm x 50 mm x 10 mm was achieved by stacking a 5 mm sample from the clad liner plate and a 5 mm thick sample from the as-cast core material. …”
