Permissible range of model parameters for natural fine-grained materials

Spectroscopy of Fine - Grained Planetary Materials

Introduction: Dust is the basic building block of all larger bodies formed in the Solar System: planets, their satellites, comets and asteroids. Some of these dust grains have survived 4.56 Gyr of processing, and occur as interplanetary dust particles (IDPs), GEMS (Glass with embedded sulphides) within IDPs and presolar grains in meteorites. Primitive meteorites can also be regarded as aggregat...

A Model for Fine-Grained Data Citation

An increasing amount of information is being collected in structured, evolving, curated databases, driving the question of how information extracted from such datasets via queries should be cited. Unlike traditional research products, such books and journals, which have a fixed granularity, data citation is a challenge because the granularity varies. Different portions of the database, with var...

A Fine-Grained Model for Code Mobility

Dislocation Bow-Out Model for Yield Stress of Ultra-Fine Grained Materials

A dislocation bow-out model has been developed to explain the strength of ultra-fine grained (UFG) materials with grain size roughly between 20 nm to 500 nm. In the model, perfect dislocations are assumed to be nucleated at grain-boundary sources and bow out between two pinning points on a boundary. Yielding is considered to occur when a dislocation takes a semi-circular shape under applied str...

Optimization of ECMAP parameters in production of ultra-fine grained Al1050 strips using Grey relational analysis

Production of lightweight metals with a higher strength to weight ratio is always the main goal of researchers. In this article, equal channel multi angular pressing (ECMAP) process as one of the most appealing severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods on production of ultra-fine grained (UFG) materials studied. Two main routes A and C investigated by FEM and compared with each other from differ...
