The goal of this paper is to estimate proper hardfacing material and thickness of STD61 hot-working tool steel through three-dimensional heat transfer and thermal stress analyses. Stellite6, Stellite21 and 19-9DL superalloys are chosen as alternative hardfacing materials. The influence of hardfacing materials and thicknesses on temperature, thermal stress and thermal strain distributions of the hardfaced part are investigated using the results of the analyses. From the results of the investigation, it has been noted that a hardfacing material with a high conductivity and a thinner hardfaced layer are desired to create an effective hardfacing layer in terms of heat transfer characteristics. In addition, it has been revealed that the deviation of effective stress and principal strain in the vicinity of the joined region are minimized when the Stellite21 hardfaced layer with the thickness of 2 mm is created on the STD61. Based on the above results, a proper hardfacing material and thickness for STD61 tool steel have been estimated.

This paper proposed a nonlocal anisotropic damage model to simulate the behavior of plain and reinforced concrete structures that are predominantly tensile and compressive load. This model based on continuum damage mechanics, used a symmetric second-order tensor as the damage variable. For quasi-brittle materials, such as concrete, the damage patterns were different in tension and in compression. These two damage states were modeled by damage evolution laws ensuring a damage tensor rate proportional to the total strain tensor in terms of principal components. To investigate the effectiveness of proposed model, the double edge notched specimen experimented by nooru-mohamed and reinforced concrete bending beam were analyzed using the implementation of the proposed model. As the results for the simulation, the nonlocal anisotropic damage model with an adequate control of rupture correctly represented the crack propagation for mixed mode fracture. In the structural failure of reinforced concrete bending beam, the proposed model can be showed up to a very high damage level and yielding of the reinforcements.

The isotropic single-hardening constitutive model has been applied to predict the behavior of soils during reorientation of principal stresses in the field. The predicted response by the model agrees well with the measured behavior for a series of torsion shear tests performed on hollow cylinder specimens of Ko consoildated clay along various stress -paths. This indicates that the soil behavior during reorientation of principal stresses can be predicted by using the model with application of simple informations given by isotropic compression tests and conventional consolidated-undxained triaxial compression tests. Isotropic elasto-plastic soil behavior has been served during primary loading from both the torsion shear tests and the predictions by the model. However, the directions of maj or principal strain increment given by the model have not coincided with the directions for tests during stress reversal, such as unloading and reloading, within isotropic yield surface for Ko consolidated stress. This indicates that kinematic hardening model instead of isotropic hardening model should be developed to predict the soil behavior during stress reversal. The experimental strain increment vectors in the work-space have been compared with the directions expected for associated and nonassociated flow rules.
