Polycrystalline zirconia (3Y-TZP grade) specimens unreinforced and reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) or silicon carbide whiskers (SiCws) were processed by powder metallurgy and studied by mechanical spectroscopy. The high-temperature me ...
Monoclinic zirconia results from cubic→tetragonal→monoclinic phase transformations occurring at high temperature. Electron backscatter diffraction maps of monoclinic zirconia in fused-cast refractories have been treated with new crystallographic computer p ...
Solders are widely used as interconnect material for the electronic industry. The solder interconnect provides both electrical contact and mechanical connection between the integrated circuit devices and their substrate. Thus solders with good reliability ...
Mechanical loss measurements were performed at high temperature in fine-grained ceramics, such as zirconia and alumina. At high temperature, the mechanical loss increases exponentially with temperature, which accounts for material creep. The results are an ...
Magnesium matrix composites made of pure (99.98%) magnesium reinforced with long carbon (Mg/C) and stainless steel (Mg/steel) fibers were processed by low pressure infiltration method. Mg/C composites were then oriented from the crystallographic point of v ...
The mechanical loss and dynamic modulus temperature spectra of two 18-carat white gold alloys, Au58%Cu24%Pd18% without (grade A) and with alloying additions (grade B), were measured in the 400-1000 K temperature range. A peak interpreted as a Zener relaxat ...
The linking of atomistic simulations of stress-driven processes to experimentally observed mechanical behavior via the computation of activation energy barriers is a topic of intense current research. Using dislocation nucleation from a crack tip as the re ...
Mechanical spectroscopy has been used to qualify possible improvements of the mechanical properties of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene-carbon nanotubes (ABS-CNTs) composites. The properties of ABS matrix are first investigated. Two relaxations that mark th ...
Mechanical spectroscopy has been used to study the thermal stress relaxation at the interfaces in magnesium matrix composites. The mechanical loss spectra measured as a function of temperature show an intrinsic component superimposed on transient damping. ...
Transparent polycrystalline alumina (PCA) is a promising replacement for sapphire. Its optical properties however are highly dependent on the grain size and residual porosity which need to be controlled for real inline transmittances (RIT), that are high e ...
