The mechanical response of a α2 (Ti3Al)+ γ (TiAl)-submicron grained Al2O3 cermet under dynamic compression: Modeling and experiment.
Download2019-01-01
Amirian, B., Li, H.Y., Hogan, James D.
Novel experimental data, obtained using an advanced digital image correlation technique coupled to ultra-high-speed photography, have been used to develop and validate a microstructure-dependent constitutive model for a α2(Ti3Al) + γ(TiAl)-submicron grained Al2O3 cermet. Utilizing experimental...

The study of diffuse interface propagation of dynamic failure in advanced ceramics using the phase-field approach
Download2023-02-15
Amirian, Benhour, Abali, Bilen Emek, Hogan, James D.
Dynamic failure in advanced ceramic materials is a complex mechanical phenomenon, which is challenging to study in experimental and computational works. This work models and investigates the crack initiation, growth, propagation, and branching in two-dimensional single crystalline boron carbide...

Schneider, Markus, Vincent, Gregory, Hogan, James D., Spray, John G.
Linear electromagnetic acceleration has a wide range of applications. Among them are applications in the field of materials science where relatively small, inexpensive systems can be of high value. For instance, it was shown recently at the French-German Institute of Saint Louis (ISL), France,...

Thermodynamically-consistent derivation and computation of twinning and fracture in brittle materials by means of phase-field approaches in the finite element method
Download2022-10-01
Amirian, Benhour, Jafarzadeh, Hossein, Abali, Bilen Emek, Reali, Alessandro, Hogan, James D.
A theoretical-computational framework is proposed for predicting the failure behavior of two anisotropic brittle materials, namely, single crystal magnesium and boron carbide. Constitutive equations are derived, in both small and large deformations, by using thermodynamics in order to establish a...

Towards optimization of thickness, hardness, and porosity of low-pressure cold sprayed WC-Ni coatings.
Download2021-01-01
Jibran, Wania, Hogan, James D., McDonald, André
In this study, a 33 full factorial design methodology was used to analyze the effects of spray parameters on the thickness, hardness, and surface porosity of low-pressure cold-sprayed WC-17Ni coatings. Three levels were selected for the spray parameters included in the design which were the...
