It has been reported for a long time that methane hydrate presents strain hardening, whereas the strength of normal ice weakens with increasing strain after an ultimate strength. However, the microscopic origin of these differences is not known. Here, we investigated the mechanical characteristics of methane hydrate and normal ice by compressive deformation test using molecular dynamics simulat...

Stress and deformation analysis of the simple shear at finite strain of a strainhardening elastoplastic hollow circular cylinder is given. Both isotropic and anisotropic hardening models are considered. In the case of isotropic hardening, there is a closed form analytical solution. No normal stresses exist in this case. Purely kinematic hardening with a Mises-type yield condition is utilized as...

A latent hardening model based on binary junction-induced hardening can effectively describe the anisotropy measured in multiaxial tests. However, this approach still has some descriptive and predictive limitations. Recent findings show that binary junctions generated by interactions of pairs of dislocations can only induce short-term hardening effect due to the unzipping process of binary junc...

This paper discusses field tests developed by the Getty Conservation Institute to evaluate injection grouts for comparison and quality control of materials and mixtures. Field test methods discussed include injection with syringe, flow with syringe, expansion and bleeding, wet density, drying shrinkage, and final setting time. Four commercial grouts and an ICCROM grout with four modified versio...

Abstract: In the current work, the strain hardening behavior of dual-phase steels with different silicon content (0.34- 2.26 Wt. %) was examined using the modified Crussard-Jaoul analysis. It was shown that these dual-phase steels deform in two stages over a uniform strain range. Each stage exhibited a different strain hardening exponent varying with silicon content. At the first stage, work...

2 national X ray digital imaging center; Mianyang,China Abstract Beam Hardening effect would be induced due to broad energy spectrum of X-ray. Beam Hardening would lead to artifacts in CT reconstructed images, such as cupping artifact, streak artifact and metal artifact, so that the quality of CT image degrades. One efficient beam hardening correction method is building a mathematical law betwe...

Recent failures of production systems have highlighted the importance of tolerating faults beyond crashes. The industry has so far addressed this problem by hardening crash-tolerant systems with ad hoc error detection checks, potentially overlooking critical fault scenarios. We propose a generic and principled hardening technique for Arbitrary State Corruption (ASC) faults, which specifically m...

In-depth analysis of network security vulnerability must consider attacker exploits not just in isolation, but also in combination. The general approach to this problem is to compute attack paths (combinations of exploits), from which one can decide whether a given set of network hardening measures guarantees the safety of given critical resources. We go beyond attack paths to compute actual se...

Rapid wilting of cabbage leaves (Brassica capitata L.), induced by excision of the shoot, induced as rapid and high a degree of freezing resistance as a similar period of hardening at low temperature. Maximum hardening in the leaf was generally associated with the maximum growth rate. On the other hand, exposure of the excised shoot to low temperature while immersed in aerated water failed to h...

The mechanical behavior of a single phase (fcc) Al0.3CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) was studied in the low and high strain-rate regimes. The combination of multiple strengthening mechanisms such as solid solution hardening, forest dislocation hardening, as well as mechanical twinning leads to a high work hardening rate, which is significantly larger than that for Al and is retained in the dy...
