Spatially resolved measurement of creep deformation across weldments at high temperature cannot be achieved using standard extensometry approaches. In this investigation, a Digital Image Correlation (DIC) based system has been developed for long-term high-temperature creep strain measurement in order to characterise the material deformation behaviour of separate regions of a multi-pass weld. Th...

Experiments were carried out in which the dependence of the fractional softening on temperature, time and strain rate was determined in a 304H stainless steel. Three prestrain ranges were identified pertaining to three different post-deformation softening behaviors: 1) prestraining to below the DRX critical strain: strongly strain dependent softening by SRX alone with softening kinetics control...

Small-signal ac transport of degenerate two-dimensional hot electrons in PbTe quantum wells is studied here incorporating deformation potential acoustic, polar optic and ionized background and remote impurity scatterings in the framework of heated drifted Fermi-Dirac distribution. The effects of double delta doping on millimeter and sub-millimeter wave response of two-dimensional hot electrons ...

Mathematical models were created using the finite element method and research was carried out on options for hot, semi-hot cold crimping in a container matrix of special profile axisymmetric hollow blanks made high-carbon steel with variable wall thickness along height. A plastic model metal is used. Before hot crimping, part workpiece heated at height to be deformed. The shape dimensions initi...

An ultrafine/nano grained AZ31 magnesium alloy was produced through four-pass ECAP processing. TEM microscopy indicated that recrystallized regions included nano grains of 75 nm. Pole figures showed that a fiber basal texture with two-pole peaks was developed after four passes, where a basal pole peak lies parallel to the extrusion direction (ED) and the other ~20° away from the transverse dire...

To investigate the hot deformation behavior of 17-7 PH stainless steel, hot compression tests were carried out at the temperatures of 950, 1050 and 1150 oC and strain rates of 0.001 s-1 to 0.1 s-1. Accordingly, the hot working behavior was studied by the analyses of flow stress curves, work hardening rate versus stress curves, exponent- type constitutive equations and deformed microstructures. ...

Human observers easily recognize complex natural phenomena, such as flowing water, which often generate highly chaotic dynamic arrays of light on the retina. It has not been clarified how the visual system discerns the source of a fluid flow. Here we show that the magnitude of image deformation caused by light refraction is a critical factor for the visual system to determine the perceptual cat...

The effects of the post-deformation annealing on microstructural evolution hot rolled Al7075 matrix composites reinforced with CNTs and GNPs were investigated. multi-pass rolling was applied stir cast samples. Annealing then to at 450 °C for 4 h. Microstructural examined by SEM, EDS, EBSD techniques. data showed that addition 0.87 vol.% (GNPs + CNTs) significantly inhibited occurrence recrystal...
