Stiff, light, strong and ductile: nano-structured High Modulus Steel [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractStructural material development for lightweight applications aims at improving the key parameters strength, stiffness and ductility at low density, but these properties are typically mutually exclusive. Here we present how we overcome this trade-off with a new class of nano-structured steel – TiB2 composites synthesised in-situ via bulk ...

Two unbound granular materials stiffness analysis with staged repeated load CBR test [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 Design methods of flexible pavements in many countries are based on linear elastic behaviour model for Unbound Granular Materials (UGM). In this context, parameters required to characterize an UGM in structural analysis of pavements are Stiffness modulus

Analysis of nanoindentation of soft materials with an atomic force microscope [PDF]
, 2011 Nanoindentation is a popular experimental technique for characterization of the mechanical properties of soft and biological materials. With its force resolution of tens of pico-Newtons, the atomic force microscope (AFM) is well-suited for performing ...

Stiffness Modulus Comparison in Trackbed Foundation Soil
International Journal of Railway, 2015 The primary function of the trackbed in a conventional railway track system is to decrease the stresses in the subgrade to be in an acceptable level. A properly designed trackbed layer performs this task adequately. Many design procedures have used assumed and/or are based on critical stiffness values of the layers obtained mostly in the field to ...

Operating limits for acoustic measurement of rolling bearing oil film thickness [PDF]
, 2003 An ultrasonic pulse striking a thin layer of liquid trapped between solid bodies will be partially reflected. The proportion reflected is a function of the layer stiffness, which in turn depends on the film thickness and its bulk modulus.

Effect of filler nature and content on the bituminous mastic behaviour under cyclic loads [PDF]
, 2017 The role of the filler in asphalt mixtures is particularly important because of its influence on mastic behaviour. The filler improves the resistance properties of bitumen against the action of traffic loads and temperature.

Modulation in Elastic Properties of Upper Trapezius with Varying Neck Angle
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2019 Background. Neck and shoulder complaints caused by poor posture may influence upper trapezius stiffness. The relationship between the shear elastic modulus of the upper trapezius and cervical flexion angles is unknown.
