the accumulative roll bonding (arb) as a severe plastic deformation (spd) procedure aimed at enhancing the mechanical properties of metals and alloys. in the present study, a new slab method is proposed for estimating the forming stress field for cold extrusion of metals cross the alumina interlayer powder particles by accumulative roll bonding process. plastic deformation behavior of the metal...

The phase diagram of the p-spin-interacting spin glass model in a transverse field is investigated in the limit p → ∞ under the presence of ferromagnetic bias. Using the replica method and the static approximation, we show that the phase diagram consists of four phases: Quantum paramagnetic, classical paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, and spin-glass phases. We also show that the static approximation...

High temperature high vacuum electrostatic levitation was used to determine the complete time– temperature–transformation ~TTT! diagram of the Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 bulk metallic glass forming alloy in the undercooled liquid state. This is the first report of experimental data on the crystallization kinetics of a metallic system covering the entire temperature range of the undercooled ...

ly, different kinds of signaling proteins, such those in chemotaxis, can be thought of as the building blocks of a network, with their biochemical interactions forming the wiring diagram of the system, much like the components and wiring diagram of, for instance, a radio receiver. In principle, these wiring diagrams are hugely complex; for a network composed of N species, there are

Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) are increasingly used in automotive industry due to their superior strength and substantial weight advantage. However, their compromised ductility gives rise to numerous manufacturing is...

The phase diagram of the Z2 lattice Higgs model is studied without freezing out the radial excitations. Comparing the results of three meanfield models, effects of mode-mode correlations on the phase diagram are investigated. The second order end point of the first order transition line between the Higgs and the confinement phase, observed at the frozen limit of the radial mode, is shown to rea...
