Under study is the geodesic (i.e. shortest path) character of strain fields occurring in inelastic response of matrix-inclusion composites. The spatially random morphology of composites is created by generating the inclusions centres through a sequential inhibition process based on a planar Poisson point field preventing any disc overlaps. Both phases (inclusions and matrix) are elastic–plastic hardening with the matrix being more compliant and weaker than the inclusions, and perfect bonding holding everywhere, so that the plastic flow occurs between the inclusions. A quantitative comparison of a response pattern obtained by computational mechanics with that found only by mathematical morphology indicates that (i) the regions of plastic flow are close (or even very close) to geodesics and (ii) a purely geometric (and orders of magnitude more rapid than by computational mechanics) assessment of these regions is possible.

Owing the phase image method (Hytch, 1998), strain fields can be derived from HREM images. The method is here applied to the nanoscale precipitates responsible for hardening in Aluminum alloys. Since the method is a very sensitive one, we have examined the impact of several aspects of the image quality (noise, fluctuations, distortion). The strain field information derived from the HREM image analysis is further introduced in a simulation of the dislocation motion in the matrix.

Abstract The paper presents results of computer simulations of the stress/strain field built up in a cobalt matrix diamond impregnated saw blade segment during its fabrication and after loading the protruding diamond with an external force. The main objective of this work was to create better understanding of the factors affecting retention of diamond particles in a metallic matrix of saw blade segments, which are produced by means of the powder metallurgy technology. The effective use of diamond impregnated tools strongly depends on mechanical and tribological properties of the matrix, which has to hold the diamond grits firmly. The diamond retention capability of the matrix is affected in a complex manner by chemical or mechanical interactions between the diamond crystal and the matrix during the segment manufacture. Due to the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of the diamond and metallic matrix, a complex stress/strain field is generated in the matrix surrounding each diamond crystal. It is assumed that the matrix potential for diamond retention can be associated with the amount of the elastic and plastic deformation energy and the size of the deformation zone occurring in the matrix around diamonds. The stress and strain fields generated in the matrix were calculated using the Abaqus software. It was found that the stress and strain fields generated during segment fabrication change to a large extent as the diamond crystal emerges from the cobalt matrix to reach its working height of protrusion.

In the present contribution several advanced electron microscopy techniques are employed in order to describe chemical and structural features of the nano- and microstructure of a Ni45.5Ti45.5Nb9 alloy. A line-up of Nb-rich nano-precipitates is found in the Ni-Ti-rich austenite of as-cast material. Concentration changes of the matrix after annealing are correlated with changes in the transformation temperatures. The formation of rows and plates of larger Nb-rich precipitates and particles is described. The interaction of a twinned martensite plate with a Nb-rich nano-precipitate is discussed and the substitution of Nb atoms on the Ti-sublattice in the matrix is confirmed.

A method of interpretation of slip-line field solutions is proposed. Contour maps showing lines joining points of equal vertical or horizontal displacement velocity are plotted superimposed on the slip-line field pattern for a number of known solutions. The method has the advantage of emphasizing the nature of the theoretical characteristic curves and suggests a method of comparison with experiment.

The aim of this study is to analyse the performance evolution of all, and the dominant, team’s performances throughout an eight-season period within the Spanish professional basketball league. Match-related statistics were gathered from all regular season matches (n = 2426) played during the period 2009–2010 to 2016–2017. The non-metric multidimensional scaling model was used to examine the team’s profiles across seasons and for the most successful (playoff) teams. The main results showed that: 3-point field goals made (effect size, d = 0.61; 90% confidence interval, CI = 0.23; 1.37) and missed (d = 0.72; 90% CI = 0.35; 1.46), and assists (d = 1.27; 90% CI = 0.82; 1.86) presented a positive trend with an increased number of actions across the seasons; 2-point field goals made (d = 0.21; 90% CI = −1.25; 2.02) and missed (d = 0.27; 90% CI = −0.52; 0.92) were decreased; free throws made and missed, rebounds, fouls, blocks, steals and turnovers showed a relatively stable performance. The matrix solution (stress = 0.22, rmse (root mean squared error) = 7.9 × 104, maximum residual = 5.8 × 103) indicated minimal season-to-season evolution with the ordination plot and convex hulls overlapping. The two most dominant teams exhibited unique match patterns with the most successful team’s pattern, a potential benchmark for others who exhibited more dynamic evolutions (and less success). The current findings identified the different performances of teams within the Spanish professional basketball league over eight seasons with further statistical modelling of match play performances useful to identify temporal trends and support coaches with training and competition preparations.

Abstract In the paper we present a general solution for handling the large matrices. This solution is general because of the wide use of the matrix based approach in problems concerning numerical methods, experimental mechanics, computational mechanics, CFD, computer aided design, economical problems, etc. Some of the major advantages of this solution are: 1. lack of requirements regarding the use of some high-performance computers, the constraints being connected to the size of the hard-disk (at present increasing and being cheaper); 2. Windows operating system may be used but it is not absolutely necessary; 3. it represents an interface between the programming languages; 4. it can easily be used for development of multi-language software applications; 5. applicability in all the domains which use, at the logical level, ‘matrices’ (mathematics, engineering, economics); 6. there are no constraints regarding the use of ‘classic’ solutions techniques; 7. it is easy to implement in software applications already written; 8. data type used as interface may easily be modified in order to be adapted in an optimum way to the current application to be developed. By the use of this solution we solved a series of computer problems and ‘dedicated’ applications in some areas like: Mathematics, Experimental Mechanics, Computational Mechanics, Physics, etc.

Using the theory of plastic flow according to the method of A. L. Vorontsov, the formulas are obtained that are necessary for calculating the stresses and force parameters of the extrusion process with counter-punch of the peripheral region adjacent to the container with the matrix. The maximum pressure acting on the matrix wall and the height of the peripheral region of plastic deformation are determined.
