In engineering practice, unsaturated compacted loess is often utilized as a filling material in the regions. The inevitably undergoes one-dimensional compressibility and creep deformation due to long-term effects of upper soil layers buildings. When large enough, it tends damage buildings threaten safety. this regard, properties based on incremental loading (IL) constant rate strain (CRS) metho...

Strain rate dependence of indentation hardness has been widely used to study time-dependent plasticity. However, the currently available techniques limit the range of strain rates that can be achieved during indentation testing. Recent advances in electronics have enabled nanomechanical measurements with very low noise levels (sub nanometer) at fast time constants (20 µs) and high data acquisit...

The dissipation rate of a Ncwtonian fluid with constant shear viscosity can be shown to include three constituents: dilatation, vorticity, and surface strain. The last one is found to make no contributions to the change of kinetic energy. These dissipation constituents are used to identify typical compact turbulent flow structures at high Reynolds numbers. The incompressible version of the simp...

processing map for hot working of ti-if steel has been developed in the temperature range of 750 to 1100 °cand strain rate of 0.01 to 100 s-1. this map in the austenite region exhibits a single domain with a peak efficiencyof 45% occurring at 1025 °c and strain rate of 0.02 s-1. the domain extends over the temperature range of 1000to 1100 °c and strain rate range of 0.01 to 1 s-1. the true stre...

Abstract The flow behavior of a novel Cr-Si alloyed hot stamping steel (Cr-Si steel) at elevated temperature was investigated via isothermal compression tests on Gleeble-3500 thermomechanical simulator with range 600 ~ 900 ℃ and strain rate 0.1~10 s-1. Subsequently, the Arrhenius-type constitutive model, comprising compensation, established in accordance friction adiabatic heating corrected str...

We have mapped and constrained the timing of tectonically deformed uplifted Late Quaternary palaeoshorelines in Messina Strait, southern Italy, an area above a subduction zone containing active normal faults. The are preserved from up to thirteen sea-level highstands, providing record deformation over this timescale (~500 ka) for Messina-Taormina Fault, Reggio Calabria Fault Armo Fault. reveal ...

strain induced precipitation in hsla-100 steel was investigated by conducting hotcompression and relaxation tests at temperature range of 850°c to 1100°c and strain rate of 0.001s-1 to 1s-1. the absence of dynamic recrystallization at temperatures below 1000°c was attributedto the influence of dynamic precipitation. the stress relaxation tests showed that strain inducedprecipitation is possible...

Frictional and frictionless granular materials in a split-bottom ring shear cell geometry show wide shear bands under slow, quasi-static deformation. Here, the differences between frictional and frictionless materials are elaborated using discrete element simulations (DEM). Several continuum fields like the density, the velocity field, the deformation gradient and the stress are used here for c...

A standard Instron testing machine, in which crosshead displacement varies linearly with time was modified so that crosshead displacement varies exponentially with time. This change permits testing at constant Hencky strain rate (c = fi/8), which provides a constant stretch history for both simple extensional flow and strip biaxial extensional flow. This results in a visualization of the steady...
