Abstract In this work, the compressive properties of sintered nano-silver applied to third generation semiconductor at room temperature are tested a loading rate 10 -2 s -1 . The stress-strain curve shows obvious elastic and plastic stage, with failure pore wall sintering neck, damage accumulates gradually until failure. microstructure is analyzed statistically by scanning electron microscope. ...

The role of microstructural damage in controlling the edge stretchability of Complex-Phase (CP) and Dual-Phase (DP) steels was evaluated using hole tension experiments. The experiments considered a tensile specimen with a hole at the center of specimen that is either sheared (sheared edge condition) or drilled and then reamed (reamed edge condition). The damage mechanism and accumulation in the...
