The corrosion fatigue properties and fracture characteristics of friction stir welding joints of 7075 aluminum alloys were studied via corrosion fatigue tests, electrochemical measurements, and corrosion fatigue morphology and microstructure observations. The results show that the corrosion fatigue crack of the friction stir welding (FSW) joint of 7075 aluminum alloys originated in the junction zone between the thermomechanically affected zone and the weld nugget zone. The corrosion fatigue life of the joint decreased with increasing stress amplitude, with an S–N curve equation of lgN = 5.845 − 0.014S. Multiple crack sources were observed in the corrosion fatigue fracture. The main crack source originated from the corrosion pits at the interface between the thermomechanically affected zone and the weld nugget zone due to the influence of the coarse microstructure and the large potential difference between both zones. Corrosion morphologies of a rock candy block and an ant nest appeared in the crack propagation zone and the grain boundary of the weld nugget zone. In addition, fatigue speckles and intergranular fractures were observed, as well as brittle fracture characterized by cleavage steps and secondary cracks in the final fracture zone.

In this paper, an elastoplastic analysis model of thin‐walled circular tubes under the combined action of axial force and torque is discussed. Based on the von Mises yield criterion and the assumption of isotropic linear hardening, the methods of stress path and strain path loading are analyzed to study the effect of combined tensile‐torsional loading path on thin‐walled circular tubes. A finite element model is used to analyze the loading path effect on thin‐walled circular tubes. A series of tensile and torsional tests are also carried out on 304 stainless steel thin‐walled circular tubes using a universal testing machine. In addition, the consistency of the selected material with the von Mises yield criterion, the assumption of isotropic linear hardening, and other classical elastoplastic mechanics are verified. The theoretical calculation results, the numerical analysis results, and the experimental test results are analyzed and compared. The “primary effect” influenced by the stress path and the “recency effect” affected by the strain path are proved, and their application prospects are discussed. The influence of tensile‐torsional loading path on the final stress and strain states of thin‐walled circular tubes after entering the plastic deformation stage is concretely demonstrated, facilitating the understanding of the principles of the aforementioned two effects. The investigation for a general principle concerning the effect of loading history on the mechanical behavior of engineering materials, based on the classical plastic mechanics, has an important theoretical significance. It is of great theoretical importance for advancements in plastic yield theory and the establishment of more accurate loading conditions suitable for specific materials in engineering practice.

Cement concrete pavement Road always damaged under the pressure of traffic, so fast repair technology of cement concrete pavement was an urgent need to be studied. The author introduced the new rapid repair technology of cement concrete pavement from the concrete materials, mixture design, and construction equipment.

The tensile performance of ductile tubes can be enhanced by the application of fillers. Research studies on the mechanical performance of filled tensile tubes have mainly focused on experiments and numerical simulations on concrete‐filled steel tube (CFST) components, while the effects of factors such as size, section pattern, and material of filled tensile tubes on their performance have rarely been studied. In this research, the effects of size, section pattern, and material on the tensile performance of filled tubes have been evaluated through theoretical studies, simulations, and experiments. The tensile strength reinforcement and deformation weakening coefficients of filled circular thin‐walled tubes corresponding to hollow tubes were theoretically deduced, and the influencing factors of the two were parametrically evaluated. Tensile performances of filled tubes with circular and square sections were compared with each other through numerical methods. In the current research, the circular section was optimized and prestressed circular hollow support section was proposed. Tensile fracture tests were performed on circular thin‐walled tubes made of six different materials to determine material effects on the tensile performance of these structures. It was also found that metallic materials with good ductility significantly enhanced the tensile performance, fracture toughness, and energy consumption of test components containing prestressed filler.
