The effect of 3-dimensional strain state on the magnetocaloric properties epitaxial La0.8Ca0.2MnO3 (LCMO) thin films grown two types substrates, SrTiO3 (001) (STO) and LaAlO3 (LAO) has been studied as a function film thickness within range 25 to 300 nm. STO substrate imposes an in-plane tensile biaxial while LAO compressive strain. LCMO by gets relaxed more rapidly than that but both LCMO/STO L...

Martensitic transformation (MT), strain glass transition (SGT) and the corresponding stress-strain responses in cold-rolled Ti49.2Ni50.8 shape memory alloys (SMAs) at various amounts of cold-rolling deformation are investigated. A phase diagram describing all states transitions among them is established temperature – space. It shows a normal sharp, strong first-order B2 to B19? MT low levels (c...

Molecular dynamics simulations using Tersoff potential were performed in order to study the evolution of atomic packing structures, loading states on atoms, and tensile tests, as well thermal properties Si/Ge core–shell nanowires with different structures ratios at temperatures. Potential energy pair distribution functions indicate structural features these During uniaxial testing along wire ax...

A nominal finite element solver is proposed for data-driven strain elasticity. It bypasses the need a constitutive model by considering database of deformation gradient/first Piola–Kirchhoff stress tensors pairs. The boundary value problem reformulated as constrained minimization distance between (i) mechanical states, i.e. strain–stress, in body and (ii) material states coming from database. c...

Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, is the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in the United States. Many patients treated for early Lyme disease incur another infection in subsequent years, suggesting that previous exposure to B. burgdorferi may not elicit a protective immune response. However, identical strains are almost never detected from patients who have been infected m...
