Peel test data is used to determine the quality of the adhesive joint and, where applicable, provides information on the effects of processes and of the environment on the adhesive-adherend interface strength.</span></p>
<p>How To Measure Peel Strength
</p><p><span>Peel tests are constant-speed tests in the tensile direction. In material testing, peel strength is calculated after measuring and averaging the load to peel the specimen and dividing the average load by unit width of the bond line. The load data used in peel strength calculations is derived from the flat portion of the load vs. position curve. </span></p>

<p>Types of Peel Tests
</p><p><span>A universal testing machine equipped with a peel fixture is used to perform peel tests. Simply by changing the fixturing, the same universal testing machine can be used to run various peel test methods. The main difference between these methods is the angle of peel. Common peel tests include:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul><li><span>45 degree peel tests</span>
<ul><li><span>Most applicable to the food packaging industry</span></li>
</ul></li>
<li><span>90 degree peel tests</span>
<ul><li><span>Common peel test method run with the <a href="https://www.admet.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ADMET_FS-PL_90-Degree_Peel_Fixture_Rev122016.pdf">90-degree peel fixture </a></span></li>
</ul></li>
<li><span>180 degree peel tests</span>
<ul><li><span>Peel test method where the peel arms are clamped in the tensile grip jaws and pulled apart </span></li>
</ul></li>
<li><span>180 degree T-peel tests</span>
<ul><li><span>Most commonly used with thin-gauge metal adherends</span></li>
<li><span>Lowest peel strength values </span></li>
</ul></li>
<li><span>Climbing drum peel tests</span>
<ul><li><span>Peel test setup to peel the specimen at a constant peel radius</span></li>
</ul></li>
</ul><p>Standard Peel Test Methods
</p><p><span>Common peel testing standards include:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul><li><a href="https://www.admet.com/astm-d903-adhesives-peel-strength-testing/"><span>ASTM D903 – Standard Test Method for Peel or Stripping Strength of Adhesive Bonds</span></a></li>

The construction industry is often involved in a wide array of testing which requires a variety of testing equipment. In addition to simple compression testing, testing standards such as ASTM C39, ASTM C109, ASTM C469, ASTM C1609 are among the test methods that can be followed to measure the mechanical properties of a concrete specimen. This blog post covers the mechanical testing of concrete in lab environments, its automation, and ways of achieving it.</p>
<p>Mechanical Testing of Concrete
</p><p>In order to determine that the mechanical properties of a concrete specimen meet the strength and deflection requirements for its intended application, concrete samples with specific dimensions are prepared, mold cured, and tested following the appropriate instructions or a standardized test method. At the end of the tests, strength reports are created either manually or by automatic analysis.</p>
<p>Automation in Concrete Testing and Ways of Achieving It
</p><p>Benefits of concrete testing with automatic control include reduction of testing times, elimination of data entry errors, and the increased speed in delivering the results. Automation includes the automatic control of the machine as well as the automatic calculation of the tested properties. When a machine is servo-controlled, it is operated through a controller or its software. The test procedure to be run and the analyses to be calculated are entered in the system and results are automatically generated.</p>
<p>An important note to add here is that certain features of full-automation can be made feasible by adding digital indicators to manually operated systems. Reliable indicators designed for the concrete industry can combine client, contractor, mixture proportion, and field data with the calculated compressive strength data such as peak load or the breaking strength with user-selected parameters including date, time, specimen number, specimen geometry and break type. Certain indicators also allow the use of concrete testing software. Test results can be transferred to a computer running a database program and automatically imported.</p>
<p>Is Manual or Automated Operation more appropriate for my concrete testing?
</p><p>Manually operated systems are often sufficient for concrete testing applications. Nevertheless, certain test standards governing the concrete industry require strain rate feedback that is not possible to achieve with manual operation.</p>
<p>For some concrete tests, it is required to have verifiable loading rate throughout the testing as concrete exhibits loading-rate sensitivity relative to compressive strength. Certain ASTM standards, such as ASTM C39, specify or limit the loading rate to a certain value or a range in order to ensure consistency within and among laboratories. When equipped with the right digital indicator, the average loading rate can be calculated and reported according to ASTM C39 requirements even if the testing was performed on a manually controlled machine. In addition to other features specifically beneficial for the concrete industry, depending on the selected digital indicator, load and stress versus time data and curves can be generated.</p>
<p>For others, such as ASTM C1609, it is necessary to maintain a low, constant speed throughout the test. Digital indicators do not control the testing machines, so operators are required to manually adjust a valve to achieve the specified rates. Hence, it is not possible to accurately follow standards that require constant low speed testing with manually operated systems. Servo-control equipment with controllers that are used to control the movement of the machine is recommended for such testing. </p>

In fact, advances in many key domains like aerospace, automotive industry, energy, nanotechnology, rely on our ability to engineer new materials and to exploit their properties. For metallic materials, such technological advances usually requires a deep understanding of how mechanical and physical properties are influenced by microstructural features (e.g. grain size, crystallographic orientation). The investigation of the relation between macroscopic properties and microstructure is however a complex task. Indeed, under service conditions or during processing, microstructural transformations are observed and the associated properties may significantly change depending on the loading conditions. An optimal exploitation of engineering alloys therefore requires the development of microstructure sensitive constitutive models, which explicitly account for the influence of microstructural heterogeneities on the mechanical behavior.</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong><span><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">In the present work, we are interested in the development of a model which is dedicated to the description of damage for general metallic materials applicable specifically for polycrystalline material. Indeed, the progressive degradation of mechanical properties for such materials is an important issue in many engineering situations (e.g. fatigue design, creep design). This study thus aims at building a model that would describe how cracks initiate, propagate and interact with each other at the micro-scale.</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong><span><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">To reach this objective, it is proposed to use the phase field method (PFM) within the context of polycrystalline plasticity. Indeed, within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics, the phase-field method has proved to be extremely powerful in the description of microstructural transformations without having to track the evolution of individual interfaces, as in the case of sharp interface models. In the present case, it is expected that the introduction of an order parameter associated with damage will allow capturing some complex phenomena like crack kinking or crack branching.</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong><span><a name="_GoBack" id="_GoBack"></a> <span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">The proposed study would therefore consists of:</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong><span><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">(1) Defining an appropriate set of internal variables (and the associated energy potential) to deal with both elasticity, plasticity and damage in crystalline materials at the microscale</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong><span><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">(2) Deriving the evolution equations associated with the different internal variables within the context of the phase field method</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong><span><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">(3) Implementing the constitutive equations within an appropriate numerical solver (finite element solver for instance)</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong><span><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">(4) Validating the proposed formulation by testing its ability to reproduce some known experimental results.</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong><span><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">At the end of this PhD research program, the numerical model will allow for investigating the interactions between various physical mechanisms governing the macroscopic behavior (e.g. plasticity, damage) at different length scales. Also, since the proposed model will offer a more accurate description of the mechanical behavior of metallic materials, it will help in optimizing the design structural components.</span></span></strong></p>

Post-Doc Position: <strong>Multiscale Simulations of Pattern Formation in Mixed Crystals</strong>
</p>
<p align="justify">
</p>
<p align="justify">
The chair of Materials and Process Simulation at the University of Bayreuth is offering a postdoc position in the field of multiscale simulations of advanced materials. In the project, a combination of classical Monte Carlo simulations and ab initio calculations is used for investigating the formation of domains in half-Heusler materials. The investigations are of great relevance for the development of new thermoelectric materials. The project is funded within the framework of the focus program SPP 1386 “Nanostructured<br />
Thermoelectrics” by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche<br />
Forschungsgemeinschaft). </p>

Are you interested in broadening your scientific knowledge by supporting the development of novel alternative energy sources with the help of state-of-the-art multiscale simulation techniques? Have you completed your masters/diploma degree and your PhD (doctoral degree) with above-average results? In this case, we offer you a stimulating environment in the field of computer aided materials design, implemented in a top-level research framework. We are a dynamic, international team of multidisciplinary scientists, engaged in numerous science and industrial cooperations. In our scientific work, we cover the whole spectrum from basic concepts of physical modeling over implementation with enhanced supercomputing techniques to industrially relevant questions of simulation-based material design. This involves developing,<br />
implementing, and applying models at different scales, such as ab<br />
initio, molecular, phase-field, and FEM models.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Applicants must hold a doctor/PhD degree and have the documented ability to carry out novel research projects. They should have gained fundamental experience in modeling and simulation in physics, chemistry, mathematics, or material science. We appreciate candidates with good skills in, at least, one of the following topics: Monte Carlo simulations, ab initio density functional theory or statistical physics. We especially encourage applications of young scientists who just recently accomplished their PhD.</p>
