2014 We measured the strain and the stress of a perforated metal foil and of a diluted elastic network near the percolation threshold. We used two different techniques : in the first, the strain is increased continuously and monotonically until the system ruptures, whereas in the second, it is the stress which is increased monotonically. We determined the critical exponent of the fracture stres...

background recently, assessment of the atrial motion and deformation indices obtained via doppler myocardial imaging (dmi) has been proposed as a new method of exploring the atrial function. objective our aim was to assess the right atrial (ra) regional function using myocardial velocities, strain, and strain rate imaging (sri) and compare it with the function of the inter-atrial septum (ias) a...

The stress–strain response of Co–Ni–Al with a two-phase microstructure displayed an unusual decrease in critical stress (84%) with strain or thermal cycling accompanied with an improved recoverability of pseudoelastic and shape memory strains. The pronounced decrease in critical stress occurred over a wide temperature range (145 C), and is linked to the interaction of the transformation front w...

stability studies play a critical role in assuring product quality at all points in the vaccine life cycle and havea major impact on the success of immunization programs worldwide. the purpose of stability study isdetermination of the vaccine quality under the variety of environmental factors and to establish a re-testperiod or a shelf life and recommended storage conditions. in this study thre...

We investigate experimentally the mechanical response to shear of a monolayer of bidisperse frictional grains across the jamming transition. We inflate an intruder inside the packing and use photoelasticity and tracking techniques to measure the induced shear strain and stresses at the grain scale. We quantify experimentally the constitutive relations for strain amplitudes as low as 10(-3) and ...

This paper deals with dynamic Stability of single walled carbon nanotube. Strain gradient theory and Euler-Bernouli beam theory are implemented to investigate the dynamic stability of SWCNT embedded in an elastic medium. The equations of motion were derived by Hamilton principle and non-local elasticity approach. The nonlocal parameter accounts for the small-size effects when dealing with nano-...

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the buckling properties of [100]-, [110]-, [111]-, and [112]-oriented single-crystalline germanium nanowires under uniaxial compression. The effects of simulation temperature, strain rate, and wire length on the buckling behaviour are investigated. The simulation results indicate that critical load clearly decreases with increasing tem...

Previous studies on assert its suitability for use in proposed fusion reactors. may outperform in a fusion reactor environment based on its relatively flat critical-current profile in the 15 T–20 T range, resilience to applied strain, and reduced risk of induced radioactivity. A multifilament powder-intube conductor was designed, fabricated and tested with a focus on evaluating critical current...
