Processing map for hot working of Ti-IF steel has been developed in the temperature range of 750 to 1100 °C and strain rate of 0.01 to 100 s-1. This map in the austenite region exhibits a single domain with a peak efficiency of 45% occurring at 1025 °C and strain rate of 0.02 s-1. The domain extends over the temperature range of 1000 to 1100 °C and strain rate range of 0.01 to 1 s-1. The true s...

Extraction of the material stress-strain curve from a dynamic tensile or shear experiment is not straightforward. Indeed, stress and strain are not homogeneously distributed in the specimen, and consequently no one-one relation exists between the measured elongation and strain on one hand, and the measured force and stress on the other hand. This work aims at improving the accuracy of the stres...

The ability to measure cumulative stress exposure is important for research and teaching in stress and health, but until recently, no structured system has existed for assessing exposure to stress over the lifespan. Here, we report the results of two experimental studies that examined the pedagogical efficacy of using an automated system for assessing life stress, called the Stress and Adversit...

It is possible to create deformations in magnetically active polymeric materials by applying magnetic fields them. This work develops a symmetrical design scheme of the device, which drive and control are carried out two actuators located on opposite sides. The symmetric with from sides allows transporting objects (cargo) mutually directions (forward backward). proposed use gel together elastom...
