In this study, a theoretical model is developed to characterize the quantitative effect of temperature on the hardness of pure FCC and HCP metals. The model is verified by comparison with the available experimental results of Cu, Al, Zn, Mg, Be, Zr, Ni, Ir, Rh, and Ti at different temperatures. Compared with the widely quoted Westbrook model and Ito–Shishokin model which need piecewise fitting to describe experimental values, the present model merely needs two hardness values at different temperatures to predict the experimental results, reducing reliance on conducting lots of experiments. This work provides a convenient method to predict temperature-dependent hardness of pure metals, and it is worth noting that it can be applied to a wide temperature range from absolute zero to melting point.

A subregular solution thermodynamic model was employed to calculate the stacking fault energy (SFE) in Fe–Mn–Al–C–Si steels with contents of carbon 0.2–1.6 wt.%, manganese 1–35 wt.%, aluminum 1–10 wt.%, and silicon 0.5–4 wt.%. Based on these calculations, temperature-dependent and composition-dependent diagrams were developed in the mentioned composition range. Also, the effect of the austenite grain size (from 1 to 300 μm) on SFEs was analyzed. Furthermore, some results of SFE obtained with this model were compared with the experimental results reported in the literature. In summary, the present model introduces new changes that shows a better correlation with the experimental results and also allows to expand the ranges of temperatures, compositions, grain sizes, and also the SFE maps available in the literature to support the design of Fe–Mn–Al–C–Si steels as a function of the SFE.

In the present article, the effects of temperature and nanoparticles volume fraction on the viscosity of copper oxide-ethylene glycol nanofluid have been investigated experimentally. The experiments have been conducted in volume fractions of 0 to 1.5 % and temperatures from 27.5 to 50 °C. The shear stress computed by experimental values of viscosity and shear rate for volume fraction of 1% and in different temperatures show that this nanofluid has Newtonian behaviour. The experimental results reveal that in a given volume fraction when temperature increases, viscosity decreases, but relative viscosity varies. Also, in a specific temperature, nanofluid viscosity and relative viscosity increase when volume fraction increases. The maximum amount of increase in relative viscosity is 82.46% that occurs in volume fraction of 1.5% and temperature of 50 °C. Some models of computing nanofluid viscosity have been suggested. The greatest difference between the results obtained from these models and experimental results was down of 4 percent that shows that there is a very good agreement between experimental results and the results obtained from these models.

Knowledge of the ideal shear strength of solid single crystals is of fundamental importance. However, it is very hard to determine this quantity at finite temperatures. In this work, a theoretical model for the temperature-dependent ideal shear strength of solid single crystals is established in the view of energy. To test the drawn model, the ideal shear properties of Al, Cu, and Ni single crystals are calculated and compared with that existing in the literature. The study shows that the ideal shear strength first remains approximately constant and then decreases almost linearly as temperature changes from absolute zero to melting point. As an example of application, the “brittleness parameter” of solids at elevated temperatures is quantitatively characterized for the first time.

A calorimetric experiment was performed to determine empirically the dependence of the specific heat of ice with salinity 0-10‰ over the temperature range from –23° C to the melting point The experimental results agree with the theoretical model determined by Schwerdtfeger (1963) for calculating the specific heat except within several degrees of the melting point and for very pure ice.

This study focuses on the effect of temperature on the performance of compressible magnetorheological fluid dampers (CMRDs). In addition to change of properties in the presence of a magnetic field, magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) are temperature-dependent materials that their compressibility and rheological properties change with temperature, as well. A theoretical model that incorporates the temperature-dependent properties of MRF is developed to predict the behavior of a CMRD. An experimental study is also conducted using an annular flow CMRD with varying temperatures, motion frequencies, and magnetic fields. The experimental results are used to verify the theoretical model. The effect of temperature on the MRF properties, such as, the bulk modulus, yield stress and viscosity, are explored. It is found that the shear yield stress of the MRF remains unchanged within the testing range while both the plastic viscosity, using the Bingham plastic model, and the bulk modulus of the MRF decrease as temperature increases. In addition, it is observed that both the stiffness and the energy dissipation decrease with an increase in temperature.

Crystals of LiNbO3 single-doped with Sm3+, Tb3+, or Dy3+ and crystal of LiTaO3 single-doped with Tb3+ were grown by the Czochralski method. Luminescence spectra and decay curves for LiNbO3 samples containing Sm3+ or Dy3+ ions were recorded at different temperatures between 295 and 775 K, whereas those for samples containing Tb3+ ions were recorded at different temperatures between 10 and 300 K. Optical absorption spectra at different temperatures were recorded within the UV-blue region relevant to optical pumping of the samples. It was found that the effect of temperature on experimental luminescence lifetimes consists of the initial temperature-independent stage followed by a steep decrease with the onset at about 700, 600, and 150 K for Sm3+, Dy3+, and Tb3+ ions, respectively. Additionally, comparison of temperature impact on luminescence properties of LiNbO3:Tb3+ and LiTaO3:Tb3+ crystals has been adequately described. Experimental results were interpreted in terms of temperature-dependent charge transfer (CT) transitions within the modified Temperature—Dependent Charge Transfer phenomenological model (TDCT). Disparity of the onset temperatures and their sequence were explained based on the location of familiar zigzag curves connecting the ground state levels of rare earth ions with respect to the band-gap of the host. It was concluded also that LiNbO3:Sm3+ is suitable as an optical sensor within the 500–750 K temperature region whereas LiNbO3:Dy3+ offers the highest sensitivity at lower temperatures between 300 and 400 K.

The mechanical behaviour of carbon-black (CB)-filled rubber is temperature-dependent. It is assumed that temperature affects the fatigue life of rubber products by changing the tear energy of the material. The static tearing behaviour and fatigue crack propagation behavior of CB-filled rubber at different temperatures were investigated in this study. The critical tear energy of the material was measured through static tear fracture tests at different temperatures; it is shown that the critical tear energy decreases exponentially with increasing temperature. A fatigue crack growth test of a constrained precracked planar tension specimen was conducted at room temperature; the measurements verify that the fatigue crack growth follows a Paris–Erdogan power law. Considering the temperature dependence of the critical tear energy, the temperature dependent fatigue crack growth kinetics of CB-filled rubber was established, and the fatigue life of the material at high temperatures was predicted based on the kinetics. The predictions are in good agreement with experimental measurements.


The objective of this paper is to develop mathematical relationship between average pore size and porosity of porous polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) composite and investigate the combined effect of temperature and pressure of foaming process and presence of HA. Porous PCL/HA composite was prepared using supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) solid state foaming process. Three different temperatures and pressures of foaming process were varied at 35°C, 40°C, 45°C and 10MPa, 20MPa, 30MPa respectively. Meanwhile weight of HA was varied at 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt%. The result from analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Microsoft Excel found that average pore size is reduced with higher pressure and content of HA presence does not significantly affect the average pore size due to poor distribution of HA. Meanwhile for porosity, higher temperature is more dominant in increasing of porosity compared to the HA content. In addition, both designed models have low values of Average Absolute Relative Deviation (%AARD) and high value of coefficient of determination (R2 ) which reflects a good and satisfying result between the experimental values and model predicted values.

This paper demonstrates the transport of electron and hole carriers in two distinct hydrogenated amorphous semiconductor materials at different temperatures. Compared to crystalline materials, the amorphous semiconductors differ structurally, optically and electrically, hence the nature of carrier transport through such amorphous materials differ. Materials like hydrogenated amorphous silicon and amorphous IGZO have been used for the study of temperature dependent carrier transport in this paper. Simulation results have been presented to show the variation of free electron and hole concentration, trapped electron and hole concentration with energy at 300K for both the materials. The change in mobility with a change in the Fermi level has been plotted for different temperatures. The effect of temperature on Brownian motion mobility of electrons and holes in hydrogenated amorphous silicon and amorphous IGZO has been demonstrated towards the end of this paper.

ABSTRACTOrganically modified silicates (ormosils) of high hardness were prepared by the reactions of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) aided by ultrasonic irradiation. The mechanisms leading to the hard ormosil formation were investigated by liquid state 29Si NMR spectroscopy. PDMS chains were found to be broken into shorter chains and/or 4-membered siloxane rings during the reaction and finally, all PDMS chains were chemically incorporated as short chains into silica networks. Vickers hardnesses of the hard ormosils were measured and compared with those of the hardest transparent plastics. Whereas the hardest transparent plastics have Vickers hardness values of less than 25 kg/mm2, the hard ormosils have Vickers hardnesses up to higher than 150 kg/mm2. A theoretical model was developed for the calculation of Vickers hardnesses of the hard ormosils and agreed well with experimental results. Predictions based on this theory indicate that even harder ormosils can be made when Al2O3, ZrO2 and TiO2 are substituted for SiO2. Results based on these new ormosils are also presented.
