    GRK 2802: Fracture mechanics behavior of coarse-grained MgO-C at room and high temperature
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2025-11-13) Solarek, Johannes; Schramm, Alexander; Henkel, Sebastian; Weidner, Anja; Aneziris, Christos G.; Biermann, Horst
    The fracture mechanical properties of coarse-grained MgO-C were investigated in four-point bending tests at single-edge V-notched beams (SEVNB) at room and high temperature. For measurement of the crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) an optical system was used. Room temperature tests were accompanied with microstructural observations of the crack path with the use of digital image correlation to investigate the mechanisms of crack propagation and to determine the crack length. MgO-C showed stable crack propagation at room temperature as well as up to 1500°C. Increased fracture toughness KIc and work of fracture were observed in the temperature range from 700°C to 1200°C. This behavior was correlated with crack closure, quasi-plastic deformation as well as the activation of visco-plastic creep mechanisms above 1200°C. Additionally, the results were discussed in terms of Hasselman’s thermal shock parameters.

    Variable total strain amplitude loading of 316L
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2025-05-09) Szlosarek, Robert; Henkel, Sebastian; Nitzsche, Pia
    This project investigates the behaviour of steel 316L under variable total strain amplitude loading, with a focus on understanding the material's response to complex loading conditions. Quasistatic tensile testing and fully reversed constant amplitude fatigue tests were conducted to characterize the material's properties. The variable amplitude tests were performed under total strain control, and the resulting stress-strain hysteresis loops were analysed to reveal the occurrence of mean stress after a drop in strain amplitude. Notably, the sign of the mean stress depends on the direction of strain transition between the tensile and compression domains. Furthermore, an ideal plastic material behaviour was observed after strain increase accompanied by mean stress. To facilitate further research and model development, the experimental data are published in combination with a research paper: Variable strain amplitude loading of steel 316L – experimental results and analytical modelling
