Mechanical Anisotropy in Austenitic NiMnGa Alloy: Nanoindentation Studies
Mechanical anisotropy in an austenitic ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (SMA), Ni50Mn26.25Ga23.75, is investigated along (010), ( 120 ) , ( 121 ) , ( 231 ) and (232) using nanoindentation. While (010) exhibits the highest reduced modulus, Er, and hardness, H, (232) shows the lowest amongst the grain orientations examined in this study. The significant elastic anisotropy measured is attributed t...
متن کاملEnergy frameworks: insights into interaction anisotropy and the mechanical properties of molecular crystals.
We present an approach to understanding crystal packing via 'energy frameworks', that combines efficient calculation of accurate intermolecular interaction energies with a novel graphical representation of their magnitude. In this manner intriguing questions, such as why some crystals bend with an applied force while others break, and why one polymorph of a drug exhibits exceptional tabletabili...
متن کاملAnisotropy Nanoindentation Properties of Human Cortical Bone
INTRODUCTION Cortical bone is an anisotropic material, and its mechanical properties are determined by its composition as well as its microstructure. On the microstructure level (a few microns), cortical bone is composed primarily of single osteons and interstitial lamellae. Nanoindentation has been shown to be an effective technique to probe mechanical properties of microstructures at the micr...
متن کاملUsing liquid crystals to reveal how mechanical anisotropy changes interfacial behaviors of motile bacteria.
Bacteria often inhabit and exhibit distinct dynamical behaviors at interfaces, but the physical mechanisms by which interfaces cue bacteria are still poorly understood. In this work, we use interfaces formed between coexisting isotropic and liquid crystal (LC) phases to provide insight into how mechanical anisotropy and defects in LC ordering influence fundamental bacterial behaviors. Specifica...
متن کاملMagnetic Field Tunable Small-scale Mechanical Properties of Nickel Single Crystals Measured by Nanoindentation Technique
Nano- and micromagnetic materials have been extensively employed in micro-functional devices. However, measuring small-scale mechanical and magnetomechanical properties is challenging, which restricts the design of new products and the performance of smart devices. A new magnetomechanical nanoindentation technique is developed and tested on a nickel single crystal in the absence and presence of...
