the dynamic behavior of three high manganese steels with very different stacking faultenergy (sfe) values (4-30 mj/m2) were studied using high strain rate torsional tests. the hotrolledmicrostructure of the steel with the lowest sfe of 4 mj/m2 consisted of a duplex mixture ofaustenite and ε-martensite, but those of the other two steels were fully austenitic. the deformedmicrostructures were stu...

In this paper, Finite Element simulations using ABAQUS are carried out to optimize and simulate the superplastic forming of Ti-6Al-4V sheet at 900 °C. Microstructure-based constitutive models describing the superplastic deformation are implemented in the FE code through user defined subroutines. Two different forming schemes are used; constant strain rate scheme and optimum variable strain rate...

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate strain-rate dependence of plasticity and phase transition in [001]-oriented single-crystal iron under ramp compression. Here, is governed by deformation twinning, which kinetics tightly correlated with the loading rate. Over investigated range strain rates, a hardening-like effect found shift onset structural bcc-to-hc...

Brillouin scattering in perfluorinated graded-index (PFGI-) polymer optical fibers (POFs) has been extensively studied for structural health monitoring, including seismic diagnosis. Here, we measure the propagation loss of PFGI-POFs at telecom wavelengths as a function of large applied strain (up to 100%) at three optical powers and as a function of strain rate at a constant optical power. The ...

[1] This study deals with deformation of small pores in wet soils of relatively high bulk density such as in the final settlement phase of tilled or disturbed soils. Pore deformation was modeled by volume reduction of spherical voids embedded in a homogenous soil matrix. External constant stress and overburden were considered as steady stresses because the change in interaggregate contact stres...

on the basis of experimental data a kinetic model for the heterogeneous interaction between alkylperoxyradicals and organic compounds in langmuir- hinshelwood approach at room temperature has been offered.the effect of oxygen on the kinetics of process in the presence, [o2]o = 1 x 1011 – 1.6 x 1012 molecules.cm-2, and absence of oxygen has been analyzed. over time the chain degenerate branching...

background: for an effective treatment planning in brachytherapy, it is necessary to know the accurate source dosimetric information such as air kerma strength, exposure rate constant, dose rate constant and redial dose distribution. the usual method to determine these factors is thermo luminescent dosimeter (tld) dosimetry. nowadays, another more accurate method is known to be the monte carlo ...
