Abstract: The shear deformation behavior of the course-grained Cu-8wt%Ag alloy processed by one pass of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was revealed through the metallurgical microscope and the scanning electron microscope. Through the macro-level and micro-level synthesis analysis, it is confirmed that there are two shear deformation during the ECAP processing: the one along the intersection plane (IP) and the other along the vertical plane to the IP. And it is estimated that theoretical ranges of two shear angles are-32°<θ₁<0° and 43°<θ₂<58° respectively. Finally, it is also proved that the evolution of the shear bands is affected by the parallel and vertical shear to the IP of the ECAP die, and that, besides the shear along the IP, the shear along the vertical plane to the IP also plays an important role during the plastic deformation.

Abstract: Based on the experimental study of pull-out specimens on bond-slip behaviors between shaped steel and concrete in SRC (Steel Reinforced Concrete Structures), the graphic of the whole damage process are obtained. The crack propagation of concrete is fractal analyzed to calculate the fractal dimension. Relationships between fractal dimension and bond-slip behaviors of SRC are discussed. The main factors impact the bond-slip behaviors are studied to established the relationship with fractal dimension. Linear dependence relation of fractal dimension and bond-slip behaviors and the impact factors is discovered. Statistics formula is established to describe the relation of fractal dimension and ultimate bond strengths. All these may contribute to the further analysis of bond-slip performance and fractal behaviors in SRC composite structures.

Abstract: In consideration of stochastik and discreteness of fracture surface, a class of mesoscopic damage mechanics model of concrete based on spring model, are put forward to understand the real damage evolution characteristics of concrete at the level of constitutional law. A kind of spring-slipper model is introduced to reflect the elastic-plastic damage behavior. Uniaxial test was operated, combined with the Computerized Tomography test of concrete, to study the evolution of crack surface from mesoscopic level to macroscopic level. And the rationality of fractal damage constitutive law was verified with their theoretical calculation result and test results. Compared with the existing damage constitutive law and experimental results preliminarily, the feasibility of fractal damage constitutive law is verified.

Abstract: The damage evolution laws of high strength and high performance concrete (HSHPC) are obtained by a large number of experiments on mechanical properties. Based on stochastic damage model, a new damage variable with two parameters is proposed to describe the damage constitutive relationship of HSHPC and the damage constitutive equation is established by boundary conditions. Compared mechanical test result of HSHPC with theoretical calculation, it is shown that the damage constitutive equation can reflect the damage characteristics of HSHPC reasonably. The research identifies a certain theoretical basis for further studying on dynamic and stochastic damage constitutive relationship of HSHPC.

Abstract: Based on experimental investigation under low cyclic reversed loading, the seismic behaviors and seismic damage model for steel reinforced high strength and high performance concrete (SRHSHPC) composite frame columns are studied. Several existing seismic damage models are firstly presented and their characteristics are comparatively analyzed. From the test results of low cyclic reversed loading, the variation history of cumulative dissipated hysteretic energy of the SRHSHPC composite frame columns under different loading cycle levels is figured out, and the influence of axial compression ratio, shear span ratio, stirrup ratio and concrete strength on the cumulative dissipated hysteretic energy is also discussed. The damage index of the SRHSHPC composite frame columns is compared according to the existing seismic damage models, and the seismic damage model adapted for the SRHSHPC composite frame columns is established. According to the variation history of the damage index under different loading cycle levels, the rule of damage development for the SRHSHPC composite frame columns is proposed. The influence of axial compression ratio, shear span ratio, stirrup ratio and concrete strength on the damage development is also discussed. The results indicate that the seismic behaviors of the SRHSHPC composite frame column are outstanding, and the seismic damage model could give a quantitative description for damaging process of the samples, which is reference for establishing more rational damage criteria for the SRHSHPC earthquake-resistant composite structure.
