Yield phenomena during the tensile testing of pure titanium sheets 0.2 mm and 0.4 in thickness were investigated detail focusing on effects grain size (d), (t), t/d ratio direction. With decreasing size, yielding behavior changed from continuous to one accompanied with yield point drop. Upper lower stresses 0.2%-proof stress followed Hall–Petch relationship; however, coarse-grained specimens (d...

This paper presents how to determine the thickness of hysteresis ring of hysteresis motor using the finite element method combined with a vector hysteresis model. From the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field intensity, the magnetization of each ring element is calculated by the vector hysteresis model and the torque can be obtained from the vector sum of each torque of each element or...

The Young's modulus of ZnO nanobelts was measured with an atomic force microscope by means of the modulated nanoindentation method. The elastic modulus was found to depend strongly on the width-to-thickness ratio of the nanobelt, decreasing from about 100 to 10 GPa, as the width-to-thickness ratio increases from 1.2 to 10.3. This surprising behavior is explained by a growth-direction-dependent ...

The elastic energy of a thin film Ωh of thickness h with displacement u : Ωh → R is given by the functional E(u) = ∫ Ωh W (∇u). We consider materials whose energy density W is linearly frame indifferent and vanishes on two linearized wells which are compatible in the plane but incompatible in the thickness direction. We prove compactness of displacement sequences u : Ωh → R satisfying E(u) ≤ Ch...

We propose a real-time fingertip detection algorithm based on depth information. It can robustly detect single fingertip regardless of the position and direction of the hand. With the depth information of front view, depth map of top view and side view is generated. Due to the difference between finger thickness and fist thickness, we use thickness histogram to segment the finger from the fist....

Although glucocorticoid receptors are highly expressed in the prefrontal cortex, the hippocampus remains the predominant focus in the literature examining relationships between cortisol and brain. We examined phenotypic and genetic associations of cortisol levels with the thickness of prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex regions, and with hippocampal volume in a sample of 388 middle-aged ma...

This work presents thermoplastic analysis of FG rotating diskswith variable thickness and constant angular velocity. The solutions are obtained by variable material property (VMP) theory. In this theory, the domain is divided into some finite sub-domains in the radial direction, in which the properties are assumed to be constant and the form of the elastic response is used to solve elastic-plas...
