Creep deformation in < 001 > oriented single crystals of CMSX-3 has been studied at temperatures around 850°C at a stress level of 552 MPa. Detailed observations of the evolution of the dislocation structure during creep have been made. TEM stereo pairs show creep deformation in the matrix phase, leaving the 7’ precipitates undeformed. In previously undeformed crystals there is a brief incubati...

In this paper, the formation mechanism of a slightly inclined bedding mudstone landslide in overlying mountain coal mining subsidence area Tanshan Coal Mine Ningxia, China, is studied. By means geotechnical investigation, indoor tests, theoretical analysis and other technical means, we find geological environment background study obtain physical mechanical property indexes Mine. combining numer...

A total of 84 sows (PIC Line 1050) were blocked according to day of farrowing and parity and allotted in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments with lactation feed intake (ad libitum vs. restricted) and creep feeding (no vs. yes) as factors. Sows fed for ad libitum intake (ad libitum-fed) were allowed free access to a common lactation diet (3,503 kcal of ME/kg, 0.97% standardized ileal dig...

a r t i c l e i n f o A powerful and robust numerical homogenization method based on fast Fourier transform (FFT) is formulated to identify the viscoelastic behavior of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) in hardened cement paste from its heterogeneous composition. The identification is contingent upon the linearity of the creep law. To characterize cement paste microstructure, the model develope...

S hale resource systems have had a dramatic impact on the supply of oil and especially gas in North America, in fact, making United States energy independent in natural gas reserves. These shale resource systems are typically organic-rich mudstones that serve as both source and reservoir rock or source petroleum found in juxtaposed organic-lean facies. Success in producing gas and oil from thes...

R f search has produced two major procedures for assessing creep and shrinkage; the ACI 209 method' and the CE$-FJP method.' Laboratory research into concrete creep and shrinkage has been conducted for decades, and excellent analytical procedures for evaluating structures for creep and shrinkage have been presented in the literature.'-5 Creep and shrinkage are factors in the design of a variety...

Changes in membrane current in response to an elevation of [Na]i were studied in enzymatically dispersed frog atrial cells. Na loading by either intracellular dialysis or exposure to the Na ionophore monensin produces changes in membrane current that resemble the "creep currents" originally observed in cardiac Purkinje fibers during exposure to low-K solutions. Na loading induces a transient ou...

“Coal measure gas,” excluding tight (low-permeability) sandstone gas, refers in this study to the self-sourcing unconventional natural gas stored coal, shale, and fine siltstone. It is characterized by various types of occurrences reservoirs, a distinct cyclic succession coal strata, widely distributed mosaic hydrocarbon accumulations, three configurations vertically multiple-stacked gas-bearin...

The effect of chemical treatment at fiber–plastic interface and fiber loading level on creep property of bamboo fiber high-density polyethylene (BF/HDPE) composites was investigated. For single modifier systems, the use of maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA) as a coupling agent helped reduce the creep and achieved the optimum effect at the 5.7% loading level. The addition of either ...

When an anisotropic material is subject to creep conditions and a complex state of stress, an anisotropic creep damage behavior is observed. Previous research has focused on the anisotropic creep damage behavior of isotropic materials but few constitutive models have been developed for anisotropic creeping solids. This paper describes the development of a new anisotropic tertiary creep damage c...
