Knowledge of the properties and behavior of materials under certain working conditions is the basis for the selection of the proper material for the design of a new structure. This paper deals with experimental investigations of the mechanical properties of unalloyed high quality steel S235JRC + C (1.0122) and its behavior under conditions of high temperatures, creep and mechanical fatigue. The response of the material at high temperatures (20–700 °C) is shown in the form of engineering stress-strain diagrams while that at creep behavior (400–600 °C) is shown in the form of creep curves. Furthermore, based on uniaxial fully reversed mechanical fatigue tests (R=−1), a stress-life (S-N) fatigue diagram has been constructed and the fatigue (endurance) limit of the material is calculated The experimentally determined value of tensile strength at room temperature is 534 MPa. The calculated value of the fatigue limit, also at room temperature, using the modified staircase method and based on the mechanical fatigue tests data, is 202 MPa. With regard to creep resistance, steel 1.0122 can be considered creep-resistant only at a temperature of 400 °C and at an applied stress not exceeding 50% of the yield strength corresponding to this temperature.

A server room is a room that is used to store servers, network communication devices such as routers and switches, and other operational related devices. Server rooms that have high temperatures and humidity will affect the performance of all devices, so the temperature and humidity of the server room must be maintained so that the device is not easily damaged. So from that, the company needs to implement a standard to protect the performance of the devices stored in it. To overcome this problem a device was developed that can automatically control and monitor temperature and humidity. The system will be built using temperature and humidity sensors that are used to monitor the temperature of the room, the condition of the room temperature and humidity of the room will be displayed through a website that can be accessed through the internet network.

This work deals with lead-acid batteries, their properties and individual types that are available on the market. The temperature dependences of the battery parameters at different ambient temperatures and at different discharging and charging modes are measured. 6 batteries are tested at different charging currents, which provides information about their behavior both during discharge and at the time of charging. During the experiments, testing is not only performed at room temperature, but the batteries are also exposed to high temperatures up to 75 °C.

SUMMARY The susceptibility of bull, ram, rabbit, dog, human and fowl spermatozoa to cold shock and high temperatures has been assessed. Motility and differential staining were used as criteria. Ram and bull spermatozoa were increasingly affected by cold shock at temperatures below 15° C; other spermatozoa were, however, little affected. Epididymal ram spermatozoa, particularly those with an attached kinoplasmic droplet, were more resistant than ejaculated ones; the addition of seminal plasma had little effect. Second ejaculates from bulls were slightly more resistant than first ejaculates. Washing bull or fowl spermatozoa free of seminal plasma did not influence their susceptibility to cold shock. Five min at 50° C severely depressed the motility of all spermatozoa except those of the fowl which were, however, completely immobilized at 55° C. Most spermatozoa took up stain more readily when mixed with it at high temperatures than when brought back to room temperature and then mixed; this is due to an increase in the toxicity of the stain at high temperatures.

The high pressure experiments done on fullerenes are reviewed. C 60 has found to be stable up to about 20 GPa at room temperature and hydrostatic conditions. Application of stronger, or non-hydrostatic, pressures at room temperature can induce the formation of a partially sp3 bonded phase, that apparently conserves the fullerene cage. Extreme non-hydrostatic compressions above about 15 GPa can, though, break down the cage and produce amorphous or cubic diamond. Destruction of the cage at high temperatures has also been observed, but the resulting product is amorphous sp2 material. A preliminary pressure-temperature phase diagram for C 60 is proposed.

We report a 1700V, 5.5mΩ-cm24H-SiC DMOSFET capable of 225°C operation. The specific on-resistance of the DMOSFET designed for 1200V applications is 8.8mΩ-cm2at 225°C, an increase of only 60% compared to the room temperature value. The low specific on-resistance at high temperatures enables a smaller die size for high temperature operation. Under a negative gate bias temperature stress (BTS) at VGS=-15 V at 225°C for 20 minutes, the devices show a threshold voltage shift of ΔVTH=-0.25 V demonstrating one of the key device reliability requirements for high temperature operation.

The use of wood wastes in the production of bio-concrete shows high potential for the development of sustainable civil construction, since this material, in addition to having low density, increases the energy efficiency of buildings in terms of thermal insulation. However, a concern arising from the production of bio-concretes with high amounts of plant biomass is how this material behaves when subjected to high temperatures. Therefore, this work aims to evaluate the influence of high temperatures on the mechanical properties of wood bio-concretes. The mixtures were produced with wood shavings volumetric fractions of 40, 50 and 60% and cementitious matrix composed of a combination of cement, fly ash and metakaolin. Uniaxial compression tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed, with bio-concrete at age of 28 days, at room temperature (reference) and after exposure to temperatures of 100, 150, 200 and 250 °C. The density and compressive strength of the bio-concrete gradually decreased with increasing biomass content. Up to 200 °C, reductions in strength and densities less than 19% and 13%, respectively, were observed. At 250 °C, reductions of compressive strength reached 87%. Analysis performed by SEM showed an increase in the number of cracks in the wood-cementitious matrix interface and wood degradation by increasing the temperature.

Abstract This data set contains the results of uniaxial tensile tests of a wide range of aluminum casting alloys conducted at high temperatures from 100 to 370 deg C, subzero temperatures from -269 to -28 deg C, and room temperature after holding at high temperatures from 100 to 370 deg C. In most cases, tests were made of several lots of material of each alloy and temper. The results for the several lots were then analyzed together graphically and statistically, and the averages were normalized to the room-temperature typical values. For some alloys, "representative" values (raw data) rather than typical values are provided.

ABSTRACTThe ternary TiAl-Nb (Llo) alloys stabilized at 1000°C for a week were prepared into miniature specimens for compressive deformation tests. The specimens were deformed in uniaxial compression at room temperature as well as various high temperatures. The yield stress and fracture strain were determined with respect to Nb concentration, and as a function of temperature to investigate positive temperature dependence.Dislocation structures and other deformation structures of the deformed alloys were studied by TEM.

Hydrogen absorption of incoherent TiC particles that were once reported to be strong hydrogen traps in iron at room temperature was investigated by means of thermal desorption spectrometry (TDS). The results indicated that incoherent TiC particles in iron do not trap hydrogen at all at room temperature even they are cathodically charged for a long time. Only at high temperatures and in atmosphere containing hydrogen source, incoherent TiC particles can trap hydrogen. The origin of hydrogen trapped by incoherent TiC particles was justified to be water vapor in the atmosphere during heat treatment.
