Creep polycrystalline ice samples antifreeze glycopeptides re-accelerating or tertiary samples. Previous work grain-boundary migration consistent with this, as nucleation and growth of curves containing (AFGPs) creep that has shown obtained from the low concentrations of do not show the is found in pure ice that AFGPs inhibit in ice and the present results are tertiary creep is associated with ...

The steady-state creep rate of Ni-base metallic foams, with superalloy composition (in wt. pct) Ni7.8∼9.1Al (relative density, ρ = 2.5-2.6) and Ni-13.5∼16.6Cr-5.1∼8.9Al (ρ = 2.8∼3.0), was measured under a range of temperatures (680∼825°C) and applied stresses (0.1∼0.3 MPa), and compared with that of NiAl intermetallic foams (ρ = 5.3). The stress exponent and activation energy are within the exp...

Coal pillars from old mines undergo creep, a type of time?dependent deformation. Research on underground engineering stability coal has increasingly focused long?term strength as an important mechanical index the creep characteristics pillars. This study performed conventional triaxial compression and tests anthracite under different confining pressures. The law was studied according to test re...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present paper is to compare creep behaviour of aluminium-based alloy (2024AA) prepared by an identical technology with and without reinforcement by short alumina fibres and with two different orientations of fibres. The observed behaviour is analyzed in terms of back stresses obtained by threshold stress approach from steady-state data or by the internal stress appro...

Here we report kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of dislocation climb in heavily deformed, body-centered cubic iron comprising a supersaturation of vacancies. This approach explicitly incorporates the effect of nonlinear vacancy-dislocation interaction on vacancy migration barriers as determined from atomistic calculations, and enables observations of diffusivity and climb over time scales and te...

A steady-state creep law for rocksalt, describing the two parallel mechanisms of dislocation creep and fluid-enhanced grain-boundary diffusion creep, has been used in numerical models of salt diapirism, to study the effective viscosity of rocksalt. Typical models included a 3-km-thick sedimentary layer on top of 1 km of rocksalt. The grain size of the salt has been varied between 0.5 and 3 cm a...
