Materials consisting of grains or crystallites with sizes below a hundred nanometers have exhibited unique physical and mechanical properties in comparison to their coarse-grained counterparts. As a result, considerable effort has been put into uncovering ...
The temperature dependence of residual stresses in a WC-17.8vol.%Co cemented carbide was measured by neutron diffraction. The comparison of the WC lattice parameter within the WC-Co and within stress-free WC reference provides a measurement of lattice elas ...
We present Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of the shear–coupled migration behaviour of a Σ 17(530)/[001] symmetrical tilt boundary, in the absence or in the presence of nanocracks lying on the grain boundary (GB) plane. The simulations have been perfor ...
Two important factors affecting hot tearing - semi-solid constitutive behaviour and grain percolation - have been simulated through the use of microstructure models based on granular structures. The semi-solid model geometry is based on a modified Voronoi ...
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 ...
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. ...
Atomistic simulations have provided much insight into grain boundary (GB) structures and mechanisms which are important in understanding the properties of materials. In this paper, the Sigma 3{1 1 2}, Sigma 3{1 1 1} and Sigma 5{0 1 3} (coincidence site lat ...
High temperature plasticity of fine-grained ceramics (ZrO2, Al2O3, etc) is usually associated with a grain boundary sliding process. The aim of the present research is then to improve the high-temperature mechanical strength of polycrystalline zirconia (3Y ...

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 ...
Polycrystalline zirconia (3Y-TZP grade) unreinforced and reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or silicon carbide whiskers (SiCw) or silicon carbide particles (SiCp) have been processed and studied by mechanical spectroscopy with complementar ...
