Damaging micromechanisms in an as cast ferritic and a ferritized ductile cast iron [PDF]
Mechanical behavior and damaging micromechanisms in Ductile Cast Irons (DCIs) are strongly effected by matrix microstructure (e.g., phases volume fraction, grains size and grain distribution) and graphite nodules morphology peculiarities (e.g ...

Thermally actuated shape-memory polymers: Experiments, theory, and numerical simulations [PDF]
With the aim of developing a thermo-mechanically-coupled large-deformation constitutive theory and a numerical-simulation capability for modeling the response of thermally-actuated shape-memory polymers, we have (i) conducted large strain compression ...

Mechanics and mechanisms of fatigue in a WC-Ni hardmetal and a comparative study with respect to WC-Co hardmetals [PDF]
There is a major interest in replacing cobalt binder in hardmetals (cemented carbides) aiming for materials with similar or even improved properties at a lower price.

Experimental study on strength characteristics and micromechanism of rubber-sand mixtures
To illustrate the variation laws of strength characteristics and micromechanism of rubber-sand mixtures, a series of laboratory tests including direct shear tests, unconfined compressive strength tests and scanning electron microscopy analysis are ...

A thermo-mechanically-coupled large-deformation theory for amorphous polymers in a temperature range which spans their glass transition [PDF]
Amorphous thermoplastic polymers are important engineering materials; however, their non-linear, strongly temperature- and rate-dependent elastic-viscoplastic behavior is still not very well understood, and is modeled by existing constitutive theories ...

Plastic Deformation Micromechanism in Nanotwinned Films
A theoretical model is suggested which describes micromechanism of the plastic deformation in nanotwinned metallic film formed by electrical deposition onto metallic substrate.

Reconfigurable Acoustofluidic Microvortices for Selective Microcargo Delivery. [PDF]
This work introduces a frequency‐encoded, reconfigurable acoustofluidic system that overcomes the low throughput and poor selectivity of conventional micro‐delivery methods. By exploiting discrete microbubble resonances to program adaptive microvortex modes, the platform enables real‐time switching and selective guidance of microscale payloads through ...

Vpliv podhlajevanja na lomno žilavost martenzitnega nerjavečega jekla AISI 420 [PDF]
Cryogenic treatments have been employed over the last three decades in both tool and high-alloy steels to improve wear resistance, mainly through the transformation of retained austenite and the precipitation of fine carbides.

Impulse-driven Micromechanism Capsule
We have developed a traveling small capsule, which has a smooth outer surface and is driven by inertia force and friction force. Measuring only 7 mm in diameter and 12 mm in length, it is sufficiently small to be placed in the human gullet or intestines.
