The reinforcement TiC was in situ synthesized from elemental powders of Ti and C and the matrix magnesium alloy AZ91D pressurelessly infiltrated into the preform of Ti and C. A comparative tensile deformation tests were conducted on the as-synthesized TiC/AZ91D composites and magnesium alloy AZ91D. The true strain—stress curves were fitted by Hollomon relation and their failure mechanisms were finally analyzed. The results show that the in situ formed TiC can increase the tensile strength, and is especially effective at elevated temperatures. Theoretical calculation of the strain hardening exponent (n) for TiC/AZ91D composites indicates that the n value ranges from 0.71 to 0.82 when tensile deformation was carried out at 423?723 K and shows fracture with brittle characteristic. However, the n value of 0.11?0.32 obtained for the matrix alloy AZ91D shows typical ductile features at elevated temperatures.展开更多

These elements are eight-pointisoparametric element, quarter eight-Point isoparametric element and eight-pointisoparametric transition element. Among these elements, the second and the thirdelements possess the singularity of order r-1/2 at crack tip. Using these elements, wehave completed the calculations of St. Venant's torsion for a cylinder with a radialvertical crack. The calculated results show that the isoparametric elements given bythis paper have ideal accuracy. good convergence. high speed of convergence, lowfreedom and little computational time, and so they can be widely applied to practice.展开更多
