The static and free vibration behavior of symmetric and antisymmetric laminates is investigated using a refined first-order shear deformation theory. The Winkler–Pasternak two-parameter model is employed to express the interaction between the laminated plates and the elastic foundation. The Hamilton’s principle is used to derive the governing equations of motion. The accuracy and efficiency of the theory are verified by comparing the developed results with those obtained using different laminate theories. The laminate theories including the classical plate theory, the classical first-order shear deformation theory, the higher order shear deformation theory and a three-dimensional layerwise theory are selected in order to perform a comprehensive comparison. The effects of the elastic foundation parameters, orthotropy ratio and width-to-thickness ratio on the bending deflection and fundamental frequency of laminates are investigated.}, keywords = {Bending analysis,free vibration,Refined shear deformation theory,Two-parameter elastic foundation}, url = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_3236.html}, eprint = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_3236_a49d35eb1c31015f414a8e6499ffe826.pdf} } @article { author = {Reihanian, M. and Naseri, M. and Jalili Shahmansouri, M.}, title = {Effect of the Particle Size on the Deformation and Fracture Behavior of Al/4vol.%Al2O3 Composite Produced by Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB)}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Materials Forming}, volume = {2}, number = {2}, pages = {14-26}, year = {2015}, publisher = {Shiraz University}, issn = {2383-0042}, eissn = {2383-0042}, doi = {10.22099/ijmf.2015.3237}, abstract = {In this study, Al/Al2O3 composites with two different particle sizes of 1 µm and 0.3 µm were produced via accumulative roll bonding (ARB). The microstructure evolution, mechanical properties and fracture behavior of the composites were investigated. Results show that higher ARB cycles are required to achieve a uniform distribution of particles in the composite with 0.3 µm particle size. During ARB, dense cluster of the particles broke up and a uniform distribution of particles was achieved after eight ARB cycles. The tensile strength of the composite with 1 µm and 0.3 µm particle size enhanced by increasing the number of ARB cycles, reached to about 170 MPa and 175 MPa, respectively, in comparison to that of the annealed Al (about 47 MPa). The finer particles caused a higher tensile strength due to the decrease in the distance between the particles at a given volume fraction. The fracture surface of both composites revealed ductile type fracture characterized by dimples. The dimples in the composite with particle size of 1 μm were larger and deeper.}, keywords = {accumulative roll bonding (ARB),Metal matrix composites (MMCs),Microstructure,Mechanical properties}, url = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_3237.html}, eprint = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_3237_1a80c9299e2c9618dd230919b8e5d773.pdf} } @article { author = {Saghari, M. and Afsari, A.}, title = {Investigation of Effective Parameters of the Two-Layer Sheet Hydroforming Process for Hollow Parts with Complex Geometry}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Materials Forming}, volume = {2}, number = {2}, pages = {27-34}, year = {2015}, publisher = {Shiraz University}, issn = {2383-0042}, eissn = {2383-0042}, doi = {10.22099/ijmf.2015.3238}, abstract = {AbstractHydroforming process is a deep stretching process only with the difference that a fluid is used instead of the mandrel. This paper investigates the hydroforming process of non-cylindrical and non-spherical geometries using finite element analysis software to calculate the influences of effective process parameters such as the coefficient of friction between the surfaces and the pressure applied during the process. Results of this process simulation indicate that decreasing the friction between surfaces, with an optimum lubrication, can decrease the changes in thickness which is related to sheet heightening this leads to a final product with more uniform thickness and more appropriate strength. On the other hand, it is observed that with pressure change there are very slight changes in the thickness for this geometry which can be neglected. The geometry of the mold also showed a great influence on the final quality of the formed sheet.Keywords: sheet hydroforming, complex geometry, finite element analysis, friction, multistage pressure.}, keywords = {sheet hydroforming,complex geometry,Finite Element Analysis,friction,multistage pressure}, url = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_3238.html}, eprint = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_3238_eb3ab9d7730282f31c9b8b4b8d87f6d4.pdf} } @article { author = {Janghorban, M. and Nami, M.

In this study, medium carbon low alloy steel (AMS6305) was thermomechanicaly treated to obtain an ultra-high strength bainitic steel for aircraft engine compressor disk. A novel themomechanical treatment was introduced to optimize microstructure and mechanical properties. By replacing the common quench-temper microstructure of compressor disk with bainite microstructure, an ultra-high strength bainitic steel was achieved. Based on the results obtained, the final microstructures following pre-deformation and subsequent heat treatment showed a very good combination of strength and toughness. Furthermore, it has been shown that austempering time and temperature play a major role in achieving ultra-high strength bainitic steels. The optimized strength and toughness was achieved by up quenching treatment. This is due to partitioning of prior austenite grains by tempered martensite plates.}, keywords = {Thermomechanical treatment,Bainite microstructure,Mechanical properties,Up quenching}, url = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_3273.html}, eprint = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_3273_514fbb7ee1e6da7684daf35d275d3b37.pdf} }
