Validating micromechanical models under different loadings is challenging due to limited availability of experimental setups that can probe complex stress states. In this work, we perform in situ neutron diffraction experiments during shear loading study the evolution crystallographic texture and lattice strains develop grain families. The are conducted on 316 stainless steel samples, having a ...

In this study, the texture evolutions of two Mg materials during tension are explored. In-situ X-ray synchrotron and Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent (VPSC) modeling employed to investigate different deformation modes between pure Mg–15Gd (wt.%) alloy. These with a strong extrusion show large slip/twinning activity behaviors tensile deformation. The basal ?a? slip has highest contribution initial ...

The objective of this study was to investigate quality changes of salmon fillet muscle during thermal sterilization processes. Small samples (D 30 mm x H 6 mm) from the central dorsal region were heated in an oil bath at 121.1 degrees C for periods varying from 5 to 120 min. The quality variations along the longitudinal axis of salmon fillets (raw and heated) were examined. The quality properti...

This study was conducted to investigate surface characteristics of sand particles. Surface topography of sand particles was determined in 3-D using a commercially available optical profiler. Measurements were made on areas that had side dimensions on the order of 0.1 mm at a lateral resolution of 0.3 Ilm and height resolution of less than 6 nm. The 3-D representation of a surface obtained using...

Quantitative analysis of geoscientific data to determine the areas most likely to contain mineral deposits is becoming increasingly common in the mining industry. The approach is based on characterising areas known to contain deposits and seeking similar areas elsewhere. This paper presents an automatic image processing technique for the prospectivity analysis of Archaean lode gold deposits, wh...

Loosening is recognized as one of the primary sources of total hip replacement (THR) failure. In this study the influence of the bone surface texture on loosening of the cement/bone interface was studied. Model cemented hip replacements were prepared and subjected to cyclic loads that induced pure shear fatigue of the cement/bone interface. The femoral canals were textured with the use of speci...
