In this article, the effect of hygrothermal aging on mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) and E-glass/epoxy (GE) composites is investigated. First, FML and GE specimens were built using wet lay-up technique under vacuum pressure. Hygrothermal aging simulation was then carried out on both specimen types in distilled water at a constant temperature of 90 °C for 5 weeks. The resul...

In this study, NiTi thin films were deposited on the glass and NaCl substrates by means of magnetron sputtering method. The influence of aging temperature, over the range 300-500 oC, on phase transformation and mechanical properties of the sputtered NiTi thin films were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nano-indentation assay, respectively. The DSC curves showed that the ag...

several samples of mesoporous silica were prepared via sol-gel chemistry in the presence of ctab as template with variation of stirring intensity and aging time, ratios of ctab/sio2 and nh4oh/h2o in synthesis mixture. effects of aging temperature, hydrothermal treatment and ter-butanol addition to the synthesis mixture on the textural properties of obtained samples were also studied. results of...

PACS. 02.75.50.Lk – Spin glasses and other random magnets. PACS. 03.75.10.Nr – Spin-glass and other random models. Abstract. – We compare aging in a disordered ferromagnet and in a spin glass, by studying the different phases of a reentrant system. We have measured the relaxation of the low-frequency ac susceptibility χ, in both the ferromagnetic and spin-glass phases of a CdCr1.9In0.1S4 sample...

a  facile  effective  stirring  aging  at  room  temperature  prior  to  conventional  hydrothermal treatment was employed in the template-free synthesis of micro- and nano-crystalline sodalites with  two  different  initial  gel  compositions.  the  effect  of  initial  si/al  molar  ratio,  naoh concentration and stirring aging time were investigated on the morphology and particle size of the...

In this paper, we review several important features of the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of spin glasses. Starting with the simplest experiments, we discuss the scaling laws used to describe the isothermal aging observed in spin glasses after a quench down to the low temperature phase. We report in particular new results on the sub-aging behaviour of spin glasses. We then discuss the rejuvenation...

J Appl Physiol 95: 2598–2603, 2003; 10.1152/japplphysiol.00202.2003.—This mini-review focuses on the effects of aging on human temperature regulation. Although comprehensive reviews have been published on this topic (Kenney WL. Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins, 1997, ...

In order to develop the polymer materials having temperature-sensitive and high biological safety, Eudragit RS-PO and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) blend polymers (EPG) were prepared. The EPGs that have the glass transition temperature (Tg) at around the body temperature were prepared by the addition of 5--13% PEG 400 to Eudragit RS. As glassy polymers are not in thermodynamic equilibrium b...
