Two different designs, A and B, with notable different geometrical parameters, were compared. The S-Stent was simulated to expand from its as cut configuration on a hyperelastic balloon model under physiological deployment pressure (below 18 atm). The numerical simulation results reveal that stent B, at diametric expansion of 3.3mm OD, experiences a 50.5% reduction in plastic strain and 10% les...

We introduce a modified phase field crystal (MPFC) technique that self-consistently incorporates rapid strain relaxation alongside the usual plastic deformation and multiple crystal orientations featured by the traditional phase field crystal (PFC) technique. Our MPFC formalism can be used to study a host of important phase transformation phenomena in material processing that require rapid stra...

An investigation of the effects of fatigue on A533B steel under constant load amplitude is reported in this paper. It was found that the plastic strain of the sample accumulated logarithmically with the number of stress cycles after initial fatigue softening. Based on the fact that plastic strain is often linearly related to the coercivity of material, at least for small changes of H c , a phen...

We analyze the surface morphology of metals after plastic deformation over a range of scales from 10 nm to 2 mm using atomic force microscopy and scanning white-light interferometry. We demonstrate that an initially smooth surface during deformation develops self-affine roughness over almost 4 orders of magnitude in scale. The Hurst exponent H of one-dimensional surface profiles initially decre...

Uniaxial tension-compression fatigue behavior of 3-mol%yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals was investigated. Hysteresis in the stress-plastic strain curve featured cumulative plastic strain and weakened elastic stiffness. Fracture statistics in terms of cycle-to-failure depends strongly on the maximum stress and less on the stress amplitude. Preexisting processing flaws were iden...

Tensile test on smooth and circumferentially notched specimens, systematic observation of fracture surfaces and large deformation finite element analysis were conducted to understand the deformation and failure behavior of a magnesium alloy (AM60). The plastic deformation is considered to be dominated by twining mediated slip. The tensile properties were not sensitive to the strain rates applie...

In this research the stress-strain curve of porous Titanium, as a common material for biomedical application, was predicted using the mechanical properties of fully solid Titanium experimental data. Modified Gurson model (Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model) was used to predict the plastic response of porous Titanium in compaction. Different values of GTN parameters were used for different i...

Experimental observations of an increase in resistance with decreasing specimen size and under the presence of non-uniform plastic deformation fields have pushed the development for small scale plasticity theories since the early 90’s. The observed phenomenon has been explained in terms of an accumulation of a density of geometrically necessary dislocations, which is required in order to accomm...

The distance learning should be able to respond the challenges of 21st century which require students have skills, knowledge and abilities in fields technology, media information, skills innovation. Such as substantial problems that occur during at home are difficulty getting access stable internet facilities, not having books with good reading levels, other problems. This research uses systema...
