Among the titanium alloys, Ti-6Al-4V is the most widely used. In the present work, the uniaxial hot compressive behavior of Ti-6Al-4V has been investigated under constant strain rates. A series of dilatometery experiments were carried out to determine the transformation temperatures at different cooling rates. Specimens were homogenized at 1050 °C for 10 minutes followed by fast cooling to dif...

In the present work, large deformation rate-dependent constitutive behavior of isotactic polypropylene is studied via an experimentally validated macroscale model. To analyze nonlinear response material, mechanical tests are conducted at room temperature and a phenomenological model proposed to describe viscoplastic yielding damage semicrystalline polymer. The based on finite elastic-viscoplast...

This study delves into the effects of sample height on consolidation behaviour, utilising automatic air pressure consolidometer. Extensive tests were conducted three varieties dredged silt samples varying heights from Qianwan, Shenzhen, China. The salient findings can be summarised as follows: (1) Compression curves for different dimensions transitioned through distinct phases: minimal load dis...

Porous titanium and Ti6Al4V alloy, biomedical candidate materials for use in orthopedic and dental implants, were manufactured by sintering the powders at various temperatures in loose condition. The characteristics of the corresponding powders and utilized sintering temperatures limited the final porosities in the range 30-37.5 vol. %. Similar to wrought alloys, compression stress-strain curve...

Single compression tests were conducted for two types of pure Al (99.99%): one processed using equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) through route Bc for 8 passes and the other with the same ECAP but successively annealed at 573K for 1 h. The distributions of the equivalent strain introduced by the compression were quantitatively examined by finite element analysis (FEA). Comparison was made be...

To investigate the thermal deformation behavior of Ti–10V–2Cr–3Al titanium alloy, hot compression experiments were carried out via a strain rate 0.1–0.001 s−1 and temperature 730~880 °C. The results showed that rheological stress decreases when increases or decreases. Due to conditions, some flow curves exhibited significant discontinuous yielding softening. Flow softening in α+β phase region w...

The aim was to investigate the correlation between compression exponent, compression threshold, and cochlear gain for normal-hearing subjects as inferred from temporal masking curves (TMCs) and distortion-product otoacoustic emission (DPOAEs) input-output (I/O) curves. Care was given to reduce the influence of DPOAE fine structure on the DPOAE I/O curves. A high correlation between compression ...

The present article introduces a novel method of characterizing the macromechanical cartilage properties based on dynamic testing. The proposed approach of instrumented impact testing shows the possibility of more detailed investigation of the acting dynamic forces and corresponding deformations within the wide range of strain rates and loads, including the unloading part of stress-strain curve...
