Powder metallurgy is widely used to produce alloys with low cost of production. The main drawback using powders is the level of residual porosity of final product which often implies the application of a complicated and costly hot isostatic pressing process. However, this issue can be overcome by using equal channel angular pressing (ECAE) with back pressure (BP). The use of severe shear deformation, with imposed hydrostatic pressure, allows a reduction in the range of compaction temperatures compare to those used in conventional practice. The compaction of Ti-6Al-4V powder by the ECAE method has been investigated. The compaction has been performed at temperatures starting from room temperature (RT) and increasing up to 400°C with various back pressures ranging from 0 to 350MPa. A billet processed by ECAE with 43MPa back-pressure at 400°C was found to have improved relative density of 97.5% and increased Vickers hardness of 369HV, compared to values of 96.7% and 325HV respectively obtained at RT. A relative density of 98.2% and 426HV hardness were measured for billets processed with BP = 262MPa at 400°C. A fully compact billet was obtained by applying 350 MPa of BP at 400°C.

Cryoinjuries are almost inevitable during the freezing of embryos. The present study examines the possibility of using high hydrostatic pressure to reduce substantially the freezing point of the embryo-holding solution, in order to preserve embryos at subzero temperatures, thus avoiding all the disadvantages of freezing. The pressure of 210 MPa lowers the phase transition temperature of water to -21°C. According to the results of this study, embryos can survive in high hydrostatic pressure environment at room temperature; the time embryos spend under pressure without significant loss in their survival could be lengthened by gradual decompression. Pressurisation at 0°C significantly reduced the survival capacity of the embryos; gradual decompression had no beneficial effect on survival at that stage. Based on the findings, the use of the phenomena is not applicable in this form, since pressure and low temperature together proved to be lethal to the embryos in these experiments. The application of hydrostatic pressure in embryo cryopreservation requires more detailed research, although the experience gained in this study can be applied usefully in different circumstances.

The effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the relaxation of the electrical resistivity at room temperature of oxygen-nonstoichiometric [Formula: see text] (Re = Y, Ho) single crystals is investigated. The application of hydrostatic pressure has been revealed to significantly intensify the process of diffusion coalescence in the oxygen subsystem. At the same time, the intensity of the redistribution of labile oxygen is significantly changed when yttrium is replaced by holmium.

This paper investigates the effect of stick stiffness on the bending behavior in non-bonded flexible risers. The stick stiffness was normally implemented in the friction model for calculating the friction stress between layers in such structures. As the stick stiffness may be too small to achieve the plane-surfaces-remain-plane assumption under low contact pressure in some friction models [1], a new friction model was proposed for maintaining the constant stick stiffness in the present work. Less stick stiffness than that obtained by the plane-surfaces-remain-plane assumption was observed in test data. It was assumed that the stick stiffness reduction is caused by shear deformation of plastic layers. A numerical study on stick stiffness by including the shear deformation effect was carried out and verified against full scale tests with respect to the bending moment-curvature relationship.

This article describes experiments on the flow and rupture of rocks under compression, tension, and torsion, while at the same time subjected to a high confining pressure supplied through a liquid surrounding the specimen. The hydrostatic pressure of this liquid could be measured very accurately and could be maintained constant. In addition, a “differential” stress was applied to the specimen, and the deformation was measured directly. By using the high pressure technique of P. W. Bridgman the confining pressure was carried up to 13,000 atmospheres, equivalent to a depth in the earth’s crust of 28 miles, and four times that available to F. W. Adams in his pioneering experiments (1901–1917).

In this paper, the thermohydraulic performance of a reciprocating room temperature active magnetic regenerator (AMR), with gadolinium (Gd) particles used as a magnetocaloric material (MCM) and water used as a working fluid, was numerically investigated. A two-dimensional transient flow model was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics, in order to determine the water flow distribution in two AMRs of cross and parallel Gd particles distributions for different water inlet velocities of 0.06 m.s-1, 0.08 m.s-1 , 0.1 m.s-1 and 0.12 m.s-1. The Gd particles have a radius of 1.5 mm and a distance from one another of 0.9 mm. Based on the simulations results of the first model, a two-dimensional transient coupled flow and heat transfer model was then developed using COMSOL Multiphysics, in order to characterise the convective heat transfer in the AMR of cross Gd particles distribution for the same water inlet velocities.

Polysynthetically twinned crystals of TiAl with a nearly stoichiometric composition have been grown and rolled at room temperature. The maximum total reduction in thickness which is attainable without fracture depends on lamellae orientation with respect to the rolling plane and rolling direction. When specimens are oriented such that shear deformation parallel to the lamellar planes is operative during rolling and its operation causes lengthening of specimens, such specimens can be rolled up to about 50% reduction in thickness. The (111) pole figures are determined for the surface of specimens rolled to several different amounts of reduction, and the formation of surface texture is briefly discussed.
