Amirian, B., Li, H.Y., Hogan, James D.
In this paper, a microstructure-based finite element model for nano-grained (!+↵2)-TiAl/Al2O3 cermets is proposed based on a modified variational formulation of the Gurson model for an elastic-plastic porous material. In the modeling approach, the high volume fraction of alumina, variability in...

Comparison of Deformation and Torque Expression of the Orthos and Orthos Ti Bracket Systems
Download2011
Major, Paul W., Melenka, Garrett W., Carey, Jason P., Nobes, David S., Heo, Giseon, Lacoursiere, Ryan A.
Orthodontic torque expression is the result of axial rotation of rectangular archwires within a rectangular bracket slot. This study investigates the effect of bracket material on torque expression. Torque exerted by a rotating archwire on each bracket will be measured as well as the relative...

Lo, Calvin, Sano, Tomoko, Hogan, James D.
We investigated the uniaxial compressive behavior of damaged and intact alumina using quantitative X-ray computed tomography (XCT) analysis coupled with digital image correlation (DIC) for mechanical characterization. Internal three-dimensional crack characteristics such as crack surface area and...

Examination of Braided Composite Geometric Factors Using Three Dimensional Digital Image Correlation Measurement Techniques
DownloadFall 2012
The objective of this thesis is to develop and validate an optical measurement tool for composite braided structures and use this tool to examine important variables, braid radius and angle, under tensile loading and to perform initial studies. Current deformation measurement techniques used on...

Lo, Calvin, Sano, Tomoko, Hogan, James D.
This paper explores microstructural and mechanical variability in porous ceramics, combining advanced X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and digital image correlation (DIC) techniques to characterize an alumina material. The results show low variability in microstructure, with median pore size...

On the evaluation of mechanical properties and ballistic performance of two variants of boron carbide
Download2021-06-01
Lo, Calvin, Li, Haoyang, Toussaint, Geneviève, Hogan, James D.
A comparative study on the microstructure, rate-dependent compressive behavior, and ballistic performance of commercially available pressureless sintered boron carbide-titanium diboride (material Z) and hot-pressed boron carbide (material S) was conducted. Under quasi-static compression at rates...

Li, Haoyang, Motamedi, Pouyan, Hogan, James D.
This study investigated the rate-dependent mechanical properties and failure of a self-propagating high-temperature synthesized TiAl/Ti3Al-Al2O3 cermet using mechanical testing and advanced microscopy. Quasi-static and dynamic uniaxial compression tests coupled with high-speed imaging and digital...
