The stress–strain behaviour of the aluminium alloy 7075 in T651 temper is characterized by tension and compression tests. The material was delivered as rolled plates of thickness 20 …
An experimental investigation of the Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) effect in the aluminium alloy AA5083-H116 is undertaken in this study through five different tests involving round …
Industrial applications of aluminium and its alloys are restricted because of their poor tribological properties. Thermal spraying, laser surfacing, electron beam welding are the …
Concrete is a material frequently used in protective structures exposed to extreme loading. In this study, the ballistic perforation resistance of 50 mm thick plain concrete slabs impacted …
