The purpose of this paper is to investigate experimentally the UHPFRC time-dependent behavior under sustained tensile loading and to determine the effect of the stress level on the creep response. Uniaxial tensile creep tests were performed at various stre ...

The constant improvement of polymer composite materials has allowed their integration in many industrial fields where their mechanical and chemical properties are apparently attractive. Mixed metal-composite insulators are now increasingly used for high vo ...
Al-6.4 wt% Ni open-cell foams produced by replication are tested in compression and in tension at room temperature and creep tested in tension at 450C. The mechanical behaviour of this foam at room temperature is consistent with that observed for other ope ...
The first reported tensile semi-solid stress/strain data for as-cast magnesium alloy Mg Al3 Zn1 are provided. The results show that the maximum tensile stress at the solidus temperature (460 degrees C) was 13 MPa. Furthermore, this alloy has no ductility a ...
In bypass graft surgery, surgeons have turned to synthetic materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) when lacking sufficient and suitable arteries or veins for the procedure. However, due to their lo ...
In this paper, we investigate the effect of different process parameters on oxidation-induced strain (OIS) into a doubly-clamped silicon nanowire FET to control and finally, enhance carrier mobility. Spacer technology together with sacrificial thermal oxid ...
Six oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steels, with the composition of Fe-(12-14)Cr-2W-(0.1-0.3-0.5)Ti-0.3Y(2)O(3) (wt.%), have been prepared by mechanically alloying elemental powders of Fe, Cr, W, and Ti with Y2O3 nano-particles followed by hot ...

Reinforced concrete being the most applied construction material today performs very well in most applications but still lacks durability under severe environmental conditions. Especially existing structures built decades ago show degradation. Using Ultra- ...
Tensile tests have been performed on replicated aluminum alloy foams of relative density between 4.5% and 8%. During the test the electrical resistance was measured with a four-point set-up and the displacements along the gage section were measured using a ...
A fairly simple experimental setup has been designed for testing the resistance of the mushy zone of alloys during solidification under tensile conditions. It has been used to study the effect of coalescence among the solid grains at a late stage of solidi ...
