Shear behavior on monel alloy porous sheet materials

Plastic Behavior of Metallic Damping Materials under Cyclical Shear Loading

Metallic shear panel dampers (SPDs) have been widely adopted in seismic engineering. In this study, axial and torsional specimens of four types of metallic damping materials, including three conventional metallic steels as well as low yield strength steel 160 (LYS160), were tested in order to investigate the material response under repeated large plastic strain and low cycle fatigue between 10 ...

Clinching for sheet materials

Latest developments in the clinching of sheet materials are reviewed in this article. Important issues are discussed, such as tool design, process parameters and joinability of some new lightweight sheet materials. Hybrid and modified clinching processes are introduced to a general reader. Several unaddressed issues in the clinching of sheet materials are identified.

Hydrogen Storage by Physisorption on Porous Materials

Imparting amphiphobicity on single-crystalline porous materials

The sophisticated control of surface wettability for target-specific applications has attracted widespread interest for use in a plethora of applications. Despite the recent advances in modification of non-porous materials, surface wettability control of porous materials, particularly single crystalline, remains undeveloped. Here we contribute a general method to impart amphiphobicity on single...

Characterize Porous Materials

■ Abstract Beam-based positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) is a powerful porosimetry technique with broad applicability in the characterization of nanoporous thin films, especially insulators. Pore sizes and distributions in the 0.3–30 nm range are nondestructively determined with only the implantation of low-energy positrons from a table-top beam. Depth-profiling with PAS has proven to be ...
