Ceramic solid solutions GdNbx[Formula: see text]O4 ([Formula: see text]–1) were synthesized by sol–gel. Morphological particularities of microstructure were studied, strength characteristics (Young’s modulus) and stress intensity factor for mode I [Formula: see text] were evaluated. The latter is a criterion of crack resistance of the material. Luminescent properties of solid solutions GdNbx[Formula: see text]O4 were researched under UV exciting radiation. A comparatively small addition of Ta ([Formula: see text]) was shown to increase luminescence intensities of centers [Formula: see text]–O−. An addition of Ta to GdNbO4 leads to creation of solid solution [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]O4. Intensity of these centers is 3–6.5 times larger than that of GdNbO4 and GdTaO4.

The aim of this work is to define a general method for the optimization of composite patch repairing. Fracture mechanics theory shows that the stress intensity factor tends towards an asymptotic limit K∞.This limit is given by Rose’s formula and is a function of the thicknesses and mechanical properties of the cracked plate, the composite patch and the adhesive. The proposed approach consists in considering this limit as an objective function that needs to be minimized. In deed lowering this asymptote will reduce the values of the stress intensity factor hence optimize the repair. However to be effective this robust design must satisfy the stiffness ratio criteria. The resolution of this double objective optimization problem with Matlab program allowed us determine the appropriate geometric and mechanical properties that allow the optimum design; that is the selection of the adhesive, the patch and their respective thicknesses.

In this paper, the three-dimensional dynamic problem for an infinite elastic medium weakened by a crack of infinite length and finite width is analyzed, while the crack surfaces are subjected to mode I transient linear tractions. The integral transform approach is applied to reduce the governing differential equations to a pair of coupled singular integral equations, whose solutions can be obtained with the typical iteration method. The analytical solution of the stress intensity factor when the first wave and the first scattered wave reach the investigated crack tip is obtained. Numerical results are presented for different values of the width-to-longitudinal distance ratio z/l. It is found that the stress intensity factor decreases with the arrival of the first scattered longitudinal wave and increases with the arrival of the first scattered Rayleigh wave and tends to be stable. The static value considering both the first scattered wave and the first wave is about 50% greater than that considering only the first wave, and then the effect of the reflected wave is remarkable and deserves further study.

In this study, we present some results on the structure and properties of the solid solution of Bi0.5K0.5TiO3– BiFeCoO3 (BKT – BFCO) by Sol-gel method. Crystal structures of BKT – BFCO solid solutions were studies by XRD and Raman spectroscopy. The results were in good agreement with the previous reports of Bi0.5K0.5TiO3– BiFeO3 (BKT – BFO) and Bi0.5K0.5TiO3 – BiCoO3 (BKT – BCO) solid solutions. The magnetic properties were investigated via unsaturated M-H loop, which showed the competition of paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering in BKT – BFCO. However, differing from the BKT – BFO and BKT – BCO solid solutions, the unclear values of saturated magnetism in BKT – BFCO raised the unexplained question, which needed further studies.
