The motivation of this work derives from the need of the cutting tool industry to improve its products in order to support harder and harder working conditions, namely increasing cutting speeds and working on stronger modern materials. The lifetime of the ...
The effects of neutron irradiation on austenitic stainless steels, usually used for the manufacturing of internal elements of nuclear reactors (e.g. the core shrouds), are the alteration of the microchemistry and the microstructure, and, as a consequence, ...
The present thesis focuses on the effect of 5 MeV Ni ion irradiation on the microstructure and the thermomechanical behavior in prestrained (ε∼4%) martensitic Ti-rich NiTi thin films. At this ion energy, damage is limited to a depth of approximately 2 µm ( ...
The limits of the parent grain reconstruction by the neighbor-to-neighbor method are shown. A new method of parent grain reconstruction from EBSD data is proposed for any phase transformation. It is based on the theoretical groupoid structure formed by the ...
The strain-hardening behaviour of a tempered martensitic iron-chromium-carbon model was examined in terms of dislocation mechanics. Tensile tests of this body-centered cubic alloy were carried out from 77 up to 293 K. A specific relationship between the fl ...
Flexures are used in precision engineering where highly accurate, wear-free, smooth and repeatable motion is desired. Flexures are based on deformation of material to achieve a motion between elastically joined parts. They are used in a variety of precisio ...
Modeling of the constitutive behavior was undertaken for Fe- Cr-C tempered martensitic alloys. Tensile tests were carried out at room temperature and constant nominal strain rate. In order to obtain a fully martensitic structure with different prior austen ...
One of the key problems in dental biomechanics is the prediction of tooth mobility under functional loads. Understanding tooth displacement due to load is becoming more important as new solutions in dental restorations, prosthodontics and orthodontic treat ...
At present, little is known about the response of the martensitic phase in TiNi alloys to heavy ion irradiation. However, previous studies [2,3] of ion and electron irradiation show that these alloys are highly susceptible to disorder and amorphization at ...
The Two-Way Shape Memory Effect (TWSME) has been widely studied in the literature. However, little attention has been paid about the out-of-equilibrium behavior of the TWSME. This paper reports some experiments, which were performed on specimens, previousl ...
