The shear textures that develop in friction stir welds are reviewed and discussed. In all the materials examined, including face centred cubic (fcc), body centred cubic (bcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp) materials, friction stir welding produces a predominant shear texture with the close-packed directions aligned with the shear direction (SD) and the close-packed plane normal perpendicular ...

in this study, the effect of cold rolling process on the microstructure and texture evolution in 1wt. % si non-orientedelectrical steel was investigated. for this purpose, all samples were processed through single-stage hot rolling at1100 ° c and two-stage cold rolling (cross rolling and unidirectional rolling) with intermediate annealing at 650 °cfor 35 seconds. finally, all of them were fully...

This paper presents theory and simulation of flowinduced structures, useful to the creation of synthetic material structures and to the biomimetics of natural fibers. We present a multiscale theory and simulation of hydrodynamic texture formation to provide fundamental principles for control and optimization of structures in liquid crystal polymers. In thermotropic flow-aligning nematic polymer...

We illustrate the flow behaviour of fluids with isotropic and anisotropic microstructure (internal length, layering with bending stiffness) by means of numerical simulations of silo discharge and flow alignment in simple shear. The Cosserat theory is used to provide an internal length in the constitutive model through bending stiffness to describe isotropic microstructure and this theory is cou...

The entire recrystallisation process of a cold-rolled WE43 Mg alloy containing a high density of shear bands was tracked using a quasi-in-situ electron backscatter diffraction method. The results showed the resultant recrystallised texture arose principally from recrystallisation within shear bands rather than from deformation twins, which made a negligible contribution to the final texture. On...

Measurements of texture properties related to tenderness at different locations within deboned broiler breast fillets have been used to validate techniques for texture analysis and establish correlations between different texture evaluation methods. However, it has been demonstrated that meat texture can vary from location to location within individual muscles. The objective of our study was to...

Variations in texture were determined for 10 day aged raw and cooked Longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle from 436 bulls of 15 European cattle breeds slaughtered at an age of 13-16 months. Variations in texture were related to differences in pH 24 h post-mortem, sarcomere length, collagen characteristics and lipid content. The shear force of cooked meat samples varied from 43.8 to 67.4 N/cm². Simme...
