The tensile properties and fracture behaviour of alloy Ti-6AI-5Zr-0.5Mo-0.25Si (wt%) have been investigated over a wide range of temperature from 300 to 823 K, in the as-water-quenched (WQ) and different aged (473 to 1073 K for 24 h)conditions following-solution-treatment (1323 K for 0.5 h). There is only a limited increase in strength but a drastic reduction in the ductility, at 300 K, due to ageing at 923 K. There is strong dynamic strain-ageing (DSA) in the unaged (WQ) state from 623 to 823 K and it is essentially due to silicon in the solid solution. The degree of DSA decreases with the ageing temperature and DSA does not occur in specimens aged at 973 and 1073 K. In general, the ductility of the WQ as well as the aged material increases with test temperature, except in the range of DSA, where the ductility of WQ material is reduced. The mode of fracture of the WQ specimens remains ductile in the lower and higher ranges of test temperature, but changes to quasi-cleavage at intermediate test temperatures. The minimum in the ductility and quasi-cleavage mode of fracture at 773 K, in the WQ material, is due to strong DSA. Three different modes of fracture, namely faceted, ductile, and mixed intergranular and ductile in the lower, intermediate and higher range of test temperature, respectively, are observed also in the aged conditions (at and above 923 K) of the material. The tensile properties and fracture characteristics in the aged conditions are controlled by the silicides. 相似文献
We have investigated the temperature dependence of the electrical transport and the thermogravimetric properties, from -200°C to +1000, of the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O high-temperature superconductor. We conclude that this system has a cooperative, simultaneous-melting/oxygen desorption/metal-insulator transition that occurs near 900°C. We speculate on its nature and on its relationship to phenomena found in other high-Tc superconductors. 相似文献
Ionic flow associated with neural activation of the brain produces a magnetic field, called the neuromagnetic field, that can be measured outside the head using a highly sensitive superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)-based neuromagnetometer. Under certain conditions, the sources producing the neuromagnetic field can be localized from a sampling of the neuromagnetic field. Neuromagnetic measurements alone, however, do not contain sufficient information to visualize brain structure. Thus, it is necessary to combine neuromagnetic localization with an anatomical imaging technique such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize both function and anatomy in vivo. Using experimentally measured human neuromagnetic fields and magnetic resonance images, the authors have developed a technique to register accurately these two modalities and have applied the registration procedure to portray the spatiotemporal distribution of neural activity evoked by auditory stimulation. 相似文献
The nonlinear Boussinesq equation is used to understand water table fluctuations in various ditch drainage problems. An approximate solution of this equation with a random initial condition and deterministic boundary conditions, recharge rate and aquifer parameters has been developed to predict a transient water table in a ditch-drainage system. The effects of uncertainty in the initial condition on the water table are illustrated with the help of a synthetic example. These results would find applications in ditch-drainage design.Notation

The optimal structural design requiring nonlinear analysis and design sensitivity analysis can be an enormous computational task. It is extremely important to explore ways to reduce the computational effort so that more realistic and larger-scale structures can be optimized. The optimal design process is iterative requiring response analysis of the structure for each design improvement. A recent study has shown that up to 90 percent of the total computational effort is spent in computing the nonlinear response of the structure during the optimal design process. Thus, efficiency of the optimization process for nonlinear structures can be substantially improved if numerical effort for analyzing the structure can be reduced. This paper explores the idea of using design sensitivity coefficients (computed at each iteration to improve design) to predict displacement response of the structure at a changed design. The iterative procedure for nonlinear analysis of the structure is then started from the predicted response. This optimization procedure is called mixed and the original procedure where sensitivity information is not used is called the conventional approach. The numerical procedures for the two approaches are developed and implemented. They are compared on some truss type structures by including both geometric and material nonlinearities. Stress, strain, displacement, and buckling load constraints are imposed. The study shows the mixed method to be numerically stable and efficient. 相似文献
Thus it may be summarised that work hardening behaviour of the alloy superni 263 can not be analysed using the simple power law equation. The work hardening behaviour is satisfactorily analysed using the modified power law equation (Ludwigson equation). There is systematic variation in the different work hardening parameters K1, n1, K2, n2 and C with the period of ageing at 800 °C. The drastic lowering of the parameters n1 and eup, from ageing even for a short duration, suggests that this material should be formed in fully solution treated condition and any precipitation of γ′ must be avoided for good formability. 相似文献

The impact of micro-alloying on tensile behavior at strain rates in various ranges is examined using five types of extruded Mg-0.3 at. pct Mn–0.1 at. pct X ternary alloys, where X is selected as a common element, Al, Li, Sn, Y or Zn. Microstructural observations reveal that the average grain size of these extruded alloys is between 1 and 3 μm, and these micro-alloying elements segregate at grain boundaries. In room temperature tensile and compression tests, these results show that the mechanical properties and deformation behavior are influenced by the micro-alloying element, even as a small addition of 0.1 at. pct. Mg–Mn–Y and Mg–Mn-Zn alloys show higher strength and smaller strain rate sensitivity (m-value) among the present alloys, owing to the rate-controlling mechanism as dislocation slip. On the other hand, the Mg–Mn–Li alloy exhibits the largest elongation to failure in tension and the highest strain rate sensitivity, associated with high contribution of grain boundary sliding to deformation. These differences are due to the grain boundary segregation of the micro-alloying elements. Compared to the common Mg alloys, the present ternary alloys also show a trade-off relationship between strength and ductility, which is similar to that of the well-known Mg alloys; however, these properties of the Mg–Mn system ternary alloys could be controlled via the type of micro-alloying elements with a chemical content of 0.1 at. pct.
An investigation of the photo-oxidative degradation and stabilization of IIR and SBR in the temperature range of 258 to 313°K in air with a monochromatic light of 366 nm in the absence and presence of various concentrations of the different copper chelates has been described. The stabilizer performance in IIR and SBR was accessed by carbonyl index and quantum yield measurements. The changes of IIR and SBR during the irradiation with an ultra-violet light (366 nm) have been conducted by viscometrically and actinometric techniques. Irradiations were conducted on the films at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 hours and various parameters were obtained. 相似文献
