The increasing use of composite materials in naval structures has inspired new methods of joining these materials to themselves and to traditional structural materials. The strength and durability of these structures depends on the properties of these joints;for this experiment, the joint comprised a tapered reinforcement ("doubler") infused to a composite beam. These doubler joints are used to provide additional stiffness to areas that have sustained damage or may have high stress concentrations. A series of bending tests under static and fatigue loading conditions were performed on E-glass/vinyl ester composite beams with doubler joints. Samples were fabricated with and without pre-cracks at the doubler interface, as well as infusing some doubler joints during and some after the composite beam's infusion. The quasi-static load testing produced a linear dependence of bending strength with displacement at failure. The fatigue test results did not show any statistically significant difference in behavior between the uncracked secondary-bonded specimens and the 1/4" racked specimens. Additional double cantilever beam (DCB) experiments revealed that proper surface treatment can increase the strain energy release rate at the interface by 250% on average compared to no surface treatment. From these results, it is possible that the toughness of the interface was decreased by a lack of surface treatment, preventing the pre-cracks from having any significant impact on structural fatigue strength.

This study explores the intricate relationship between hydrogen and the microstructural elements of austenitic stainless steels and nickel-based superalloys, with particular focus on their propensity for hydrogen embrittlement (HE). Utilizing sophisticated simulation tools within the ANSYS framework, we have developed an in-depth 3D model that intricately portrays the subtle hydrogen diffusion dynamics as they interact with microstructural features, including grain boundaries, dislocations, precipitates, and the lattice framework. This model illuminates the pivotal roles these microstructural interfaces play in the transportation and trapping of hydrogen and their contribution to the vulnerability of these alloys to HE. Our findings reveal that dislocations serve as a critical factor in dictating hydrogen diffusion behavior, which offer alternative pathways significantly influencing hydrogen distribution throughout the microstructure. The behavior of these dislocations is found to be highly temperature-sensitive, exhibiting distinct properties under varying thermal conditions and over extended durations. The simulation results are consistent with established models of hydrogen behavior in metallic systems and confirm that both microstructural nuances and temperature have a significant influence on hydrogen diffusion, which is in line with theoretical expectations. The insights gleaned from this research will assist in the engineering of materials that are more resilient to the deleterious effects of hydrogen penetration, thereby enhancing the safety and dependability of components operating in hydrogen-intensive environments.

The coating thickness profiles for EB-PVD TBCs deposited on stationary cylinders have been experimentally measured and theoretically modeled using Knudsen's cosine law of emissions {1}. A comparison of the experimental results with the model reveals that the model needs to be modified to account for the sticking coefficient as well as a ricochet factor. These results are also discussed in terms of the effects of substrate temperature on the sticking coefficient, the ricochet factor, and coating density.
