The deformation-induced martensitic transformation observed in specific materials can enhance their mechanical properties or result in functional properties. For example, the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect results in a good combination of ...
The stress-induced fcc-austenite to hcp-martensite transformation in the iron based shape memory alloy (SMA) Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni with and without VC precipitates is investigated by in-situ neutron diffraction measurements upon uniaxial loading and unloadi ...
Similarly to mechanical structures, stable flows can exhibit resonance when perturbed by an impulsive or harmonic forcing. Swirling wakes and sloshing waves belong to this kind of flows and manifest large energy response when excited close to their natural ...
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the deformation mechanisms of < 110 >-oriented, faceted Cu and Au nanowires under bending along three different crystallographic directions. Independent of the bending direction, the stress field is ch ...
During solidification of metallic alloys, coalescence corresponds to the formation of solid bridges between grains when both solid and liquid phases are percolated. As such, it represents a key transition with respect to the mechanical behaviour of solidif ...
A 'one-step' theory based on Pitsch distortion is proposed to explain the continuity between the orientations of the Kurdjumov-Sachs (KS), Nishiyama-Wassermann (NW) and Pitsch variants observed on the electron backscatter diffraction pole figures of marten ...
The martensitic phase transformation in steel is one of the most famous solid state transformation because of its contribution in the development of the modern industry. This transformation from a face-centered cubic (FCC) high temperature phase, called th ...
Many analytics applications generate mixed workloads, i.e., workloads comprised of analytical tasks with different processing characteristics including data pre-processing, SQL, and iterative machine learning algorithms. Examples of such mixed workloads ca ...
Vibration tests were performed on 3 large-scale timber slabs using wood-wood connections with a span of 8.1 meters. 10 impulsive vibration tests per specimen were performed to estimate the initial natural frequency. Vibrations were triggered using a hammer ...
The preferred deformation mechanisms with respect to the load path are studied in a medium stacking fault energy 304 austenitic stainless steel that exhibits both transformation induced plasticity and twinning induced plasticity. In situ neutron diffractio ...
