Abstract

Using the mechanical treatments for mechanical properties improvement was rarely in the development scope before. This research approves through analytical ways that surface impacts can improve the quality of the surface significantly. This fact is approved for deposited titanium on silicone substrate. The new algorithm called minimum resultant error method (MREM) which is a direct combination of nanoindentation, FEM and dimensional analysis through a reverse method is utilized to extract the mechanical characteristics of the coating surface before and after impact. This method is extended to the time dependent behavior of the material to obtain strain rate coefficient. To implement this new approach, a new analysis technic is developed to define the residual stress field caused by surface impact as initial condition for nanoindentation. Analyzing the model in micro and macro scale at the same time was one of the main resolved challenges in this study. The result was obtaining of the constants of Johnson-Cook constitutive equation. Comparing the characteristics of the coating surface before and after impact shows high improvement in yield stress (34%), Elastic modulus (7.75%) and strain hardening coefficient (2.8%). The main achievement is that the strength improvement in titanium thin layer is much higher than bulk titanium. The yield strength shows 41.7% improvement for coated titanium comparing with 24% for bulk material. The rate of enhancement is about 6 times when it comes to the Young's modulus.

Acknowledgement

I would like to thank and appreciate the endeavors of Professor Abolfazl Darvizeh my beloved supervisor which under his acute supervision this research work was carried successfully. But unfortunately, he passed away right after my viva, leaving us in sorrow and deep passion. At any break time, he was surrounded by a large group of students, with whom he was eagerly engaged in serious discussions. He was a devoted supervisor to his research students, many of whom regarded him as their "spiritual mentor". He not only took time to guide them through their research, but also provided them with freedom and opportunity to make their own scientific profile. Peace be upon his sole.
