In metal matrix composites, a is combined with another, often nonmetallic, phase to produce novel material having attractive engineering attributes of its own. A subject much research in the 1980s and 1990s, this class materials has, past decade, increased significantly variety. Copper layered high-conductivity nanoscale microcellular metals, bio-derived composites have been added palette that, ten years ago, mostly comprised ceramic fiber– or particle-reinforced light metals together some...
Abstract Modeling and simulation is transforming modern materials science, becoming an important tool for the discovery of new material phenomena, gaining insight into processes that govern behavior, and, increasingly, quantitative predictions can be used as part a design in full partnership with experimental synthesis characterization. essential bridge from good science to engineering, spanning fundamental understanding behavior deliberate technologies leveraging properties processes. This...
A large number of anomalous extension twins, with low or even negative twinning Schmid factors, were found to nucleate and grow in a strongly textured Mg-1Al alloy during tensile deformation along the extruded direction. The mechanisms responsible for this behaviour investigated through in-situ electron back-scattered diffraction, grain reference orientation deviation, slip trace - modified lattice rotation. It was that twins nucleated mainly at onset plastic near boundary triple junctions....
While silk exhibits high values of tensile strength and stiffness, these properties are compromised by their poor reproducibility. We present the results experiments aimed at characterizing variability exhibited cocoon from Bombyx mori silkworms. Scanning electron microscopy is used to measure an average diameter for individual test specimens; interspecimen quantified found be inadequately represented standard deviation. When load-extension data converted into stress-strain curves, a marked...
Mechanical tests were performed on single brins of Bombyx mori silkworm silk, to obtain values elastic modulus (E), yield strength, tensile breaking and shear (G). Specimen cross-sectional areas, needed convert loads into stresses, derived from diameter measurements by scanning electron microscopy. Results are compared with existing literature for partially degummed baves. The (16 ± 1 GPa) strength (230 10 MPa) B. brin significantly higher than the reported bave. difference is attributed...
Ceramic rods consisting of bundles well-oriented, single-crystal whiskers Al2O3, Y3Al5O12, and ZrO2 (20 mol % Y2O3) are grown by directional solidification from the melt at high growth rates in an inert atmosphere using laser-heated floating zone method. The nanofibrillar eutectic exhibits outstanding bending strength (4.6 GPa) resistance to crack propagation perpendicular fibers. figure shows a TEM image longitudinal cross-section rod.
In this study, a superefficiently flame-retardant bioplastic poly(lactic acid) was developed by incorporating gas–solid biphase N,N′-diallyl-P-phenylphosphonicdiamide (P-AA), into PLA matrix. The flame retardancy of PLA/P-AA investigated limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL94), and cone calorimeter test. Surprisingly, it noted that only 0.5 wt % loading P-AA increased LOI value from 20.5 to 28.4 passed UL 94 V-0 rating at 3.2 mm thickness. order understand the effect on...
