Experimental and Numerical Study of Ductile Metal Auxetic Tubular Structures
… under axial forces. Existing research on metallic auxetics is scarce and based mostly on analytical studies. Apparent NPR behavior of auxetics has also been linked to enhanced energy absorbing potential. A pilot study was undertaken to investigate and understand auxetic behavior in tubes …

Aspects of Adhesion of Metallised Plastics.
… studied with particular reference to aspects of metal to polymer adhesion. Certain acetylacetonate transition metal complexes have been shown to promote adhesion of copper to ABS, and mechanisms for their action have been postulated. Alternative methods of plating ABS have been investigated. Some …

Numerical analysis of plastic deformation in metal-ceramic nanolayers during cyclic indentation
The indentation behavior of metal/ceramic nanolayered composites is studied nu- merically using the finite element method. Attention is devoted to cyclic response under fixed maximum and minimum loads, with the primary objective of examining the evolving plastic deformation in the ductile metal …

Large deformation of rigid-viscoplastic cantilevers subjected to impulsive loading
The problem of a ductile metal cantilever structure (not necessarily initially straight) subjected to dynamic loads leading to deformations of the order of the dimensions of the structure is considered. The material is treated as rigid-viscoplastic; in this idealisation elastic effects are ignored, …

The erosion of ductile metals by solid particle impact
… This dissertation describes experiments in which ductile metal surfaces were eroded with abrasive particles (size range 40 - 600nm) under controlled conditions. Damage to the surface was characterised by weight loss measurements, and also by microscopical examination. Surface and subsurface damage …

A microtexture based analysis of surface roughening in ductile metals during tensile deformation
… ridges during the deformation of two specific ductile metal alloys, namely AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel and an aluminium alloy designated AA3002. The investigation considers, in particular, the development of parallel ridges during uniaxial tension, and their effect on the overall surface …

Disproportionate Collapse Resistance of Timber Beam-column Connections
… capable of performing complex simulations of metal-timber connections that include material softening, damage, non-linearities, a large number of contacts, and diverse loading conditions was developed. A novel empirical method to obtain true stress-strain relations of ductile metal components …
