The grain size refinement of AISI 422 martensitic stainless steel in the temperature range of 950-1150 ºC was investigated by hot deformation tests. The deformed specimens were held at deformation temperature with delay times of 5 to 300s after achieving a strain of 0.3. The austenite grains exhibit a considerable growth at temperature higher than 1050˚C, while the grain coarsening is negligibl...

A Trigonometric Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) for the analysis of isotropic plate, taking into account transverse shear deformation effect as well as transverse normal strain effect, is presented. The theory presented herein is built upon the classical plate theory. In this displacement-based, trigonometric shear deformation theory, the in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in ...

in the present paper, the deformation zone of the ecae (equal channel angular extrusion) process was investigated using the upper bound theorem. for this purpose, the shape of the streamlines in the deformation zone was assumed to be cubic bezier curves. then, the force required for the ecae process was optimized with regard to the parameters defining the shape of streamlines by the upper bound...

in the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. in this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using abaqus software. in this study, it has been employed the taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...

fabrication of ultrafine grained materials by imposing severe plastic deformation for improvement of mechanical and physical properties of metals has been the focus of many researches over the past few years. in this process, a sheet is subjected to repetitive shear deformation conditions by utilizing asymmetrically grooved and flat dies through alternate pressing. in this study, a 2mm thick co...

this paper describes the effects of reinforcement by randomly distributed nylon fibers and addition of nanoclay on some engineering properties of a typical asphalt concrete. the properties of asphalt concrete reinforced by different percentages of 25 mm nylon fibers have been compared with those of the mixtures containing different percentages of nanoclay and those in which both the fibers and ...

omotopy analysis method (ham) is a promising method for handling func-tional equations. recent publications proved the eectiveness of ham in solvingwide variety of problems in dierent elds. ham has a unique property whichmakes it superior to other analytic methods, this property is its ability to con-trol the convergence region of the solution series. in this work, we claried theadvantages ...

1. INTRODUCTION Quantum mechanics is often distinguished from classical mechanics by a statement to the effect that the observables in quantum mechanics, unlike those in classical mechanics, do not commute with one another. Yet classical mechanics is meant to give a description (with less precision) of the same physical world as is described by quantum mechanics. One mathematical transcription ...
