The mechanical properties (hardness, elastic modulus) and subsurface damage of quartz glass at high temperature are studied by nanoindentation simulation based on molecular dynamics (MD). By heating the quartz crystal model to 3000[Formula: see text]K and annealing to 300[Formula: see text]K twice, the quartz glass model is prepared. According to the nanoindentation simulation results, the hardness of quartz glass decreases by 53.6% and the elastic modulus increases by 10.9% at 1500[Formula: see text]K compared to those at 300[Formula: see text]K. When the temperature rises from 300[Formula: see text]K to 1500[Formula: see text]K, the critical grinding depth of quartz glass increases from nanoscale to micron-scale. The investigation of subsurface damage shows that the damaged layer thickness decreases slightly with the increase of temperature. The damaged layer extends downward under the indenter at lower temperature and extends along the indenter at higher temperature.

The effects of Sr addition on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Mg-6Al mag- nesium alloy both at 25 °C and at 175 °C were investigated by means of OM, SEM and EDS and XRD. Upon the Sr addition of 2%, the tensile strength was increased by 7.2% to 184.4MPa at 25 °C, while it was increased by 30% to 155.4MPa at 175 °C. The strengthening mechanism of Mg-6Al-xSr at lower temperature (25 °C) was different from that at higher temperature (175°C). The results show that the addition of strontium effectively improved the microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy.

Experiments on granite under uniaxial compression at high temperature of 25~850°C and after high temperature of 25~1300°C were conducted to study the effect of temperature on rock strength and deformation quality. The results show that: (1) Fitting curves between temperature strain and thermal expansion coefficient with temperature are closely first order growth exponential function relation at high temperature. Temperature strain has mutagenicity after high temperature, which can not reflect rock deformation law at high temperature exactly. (2)Mechanical properties of granite weak continuously at high temperature. Compressive strength and elastic modulus show second order attenuation trend of exponential law. But mechanical properties show mutation state after high temperature, which is closely related to the alteration of rock crystal form and brittle-ductile transition. Regression curves between compressive strength and elastic modulus with temperature are closely polynomial curve. The results reflect the fundamental regulation of granite’s interior structure changing under the action of different temperature, which will provide some reference value to rock engineering involved in high temperature.

To study the effect of high temperature on the dynamic mechanical properties and energy evolution characteristic of limestone specimens, the basic physical parameters of limestone specimens that cool naturally after experiencing high temperatures of room temperature (25°C), 200°C, 400°C, and 600°C were tested. In addition, compression tests with 6 impact loading conditions were conducted using SHPB device. The changes of basic physical properties of limestone before and after temperature were analyzed, and the relationship among dynamic characteristic parameters, energy evolution characteristics, and temperature was discussed. Test results indicated that, with the increase of temperature, the surface color of specimen changed from gray-black to gray-white, and its volume increased, while the mass, density, and P-wave velocity of specimen decreased. The dynamic compressive stress-strain curve of limestone specimens after different high-temperature effects could be divided into three stages: elasticity stage, yield stage, and failure stage. Failure mode of specimen was in the form of spalling axial splitting, and the degree of fragmentation increased with the increase of the temperature and incident energy. With the increase of the temperature, the reflection energy, the absorption energy, the dynamic compressive strength, and dynamic elastic modulus of rock decreased, while its transmission energy, the dynamic peak strain, and strain rate increased. The dynamic compressive strength, dynamic elastic modulus, dynamic strain, and strain rate of limestone specimens all increased with the increase of incident energy, showing a quadratic function relationship.

AbstractHigh temperature mechanical properties of various Zr and Cr strengthened single phase Ni3Al are investigated, with emphasis on the ability of each element to elevate Tp, the temperature corresponding to the peak yield strength. It is observed that Zr is a very effective strengthener, more so below Tp than above it, while a combination of Cr and Zr is capable of shifting Tp to a higher temperature. The combination results in an effective improvement of the rupture strength of Ni3Al. The strengthening mechanisms of each element will be discussed in this paper.

Tribological and mechanical properties of aramid fiber (AF), graphite (Gr), and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) hybrid polyimide composites were investigated under room and high temperature. Results show that, Gr in composite reinforced with AF and h-BN can reduce coefficient of friction (COF) and improve antiwear property of composites under room temperature. Gr can accelerate the formation of transfer film under high temperature without sacrificing the wear resistant of composites. Transfer film of composites reinforced with Gr and h-BN simultaneously present more smooth and uniform compared with that of composites reinforced with only AF and h-BN. However, under higher temperature, composite reinforced with pure Gr present higher COFs and wear rates (WRs) compared with composites filled with h-BN and Gr simultaneously. Comprehensively, composite filled with 10% AF, 3% h-BN, and 4% Gr is the optimum composition.

High temperature conventional triaxial compression test of shale are carried out by the MTS815 servo-controlled testing machine, based on the experimental results, the relationships between temperature and shale peak strength, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, cohesion, internal friction angle are investigated. Although the experimental results are discrete comparatively, the general law is obvious. When the confining pressure imposed on shale is constant and the temperature changes form 25°C to 120°C, with the increasing of the temperature, the triaxial compression strength, shear strength gradually increase, while average elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio has a slightly decrease. The thermal stress generated by the high temperature plays a role to accommodate the deformation and the function of preventing crack propagation, thus the bearing capacity of shale samples are strengthened. But the influence of temperature on shale mechanical properties mutates when the temperature is at 80°C. Shale peak strength dramatically decreased, average elastic modulus decreased slightly, and Poisson's ratio also increased slightly, which indicated that at 80°C, different thermal expansivity of mineral particles of shale may cause cross-grain boundary thermal expansion incongruous, creating additional thermal stress, thus the sample’s bearing capacity decreased.

Sugarcane grown in the Ord River district of Western Australia has lower sucrose content than expected from earlier trials and experience in other irrigated districts. High temperatures have been hypothesised as a possible cause. The effects of high temperature (above 32°C) on growth and carbon partitioning were investigated. A temperature regime of (25–38°C) was compared with (23–33°C). In one experiment, 7-month-old plants of cvv. Q117 and Q158 were subjected to the treatments for 2 months. In another experiment, the plants were allowed to regrow (ratoon) for 6 months. In both experiments, the higher temperature resulted in more, shorter internodes and higher moisture content. Most internodes from plants in the higher temperature treatment had lower sucrose content than internodes from the lower temperature. On a dry mass basis the internodes from the plants in the higher temperature had proportionately more fibre and hexoses but lower sucrose. Combined with an increased number of nodes in a stem of similar or shorter length this would result in higher stalk fibre and lower sucrose content. The data provided evidence that sugarcane partitions less carbon to stored sucrose when grown under high compared with low temperatures. The two cultivars partitioned carbon between soluble (sugars) and insoluble (fibre) fractions to different degrees. These experiments also indicate that the current models describing leaf appearance and perhaps sugarcane growth at temperatures above 32°C, in general, need revision.

Abstract Lead free electronic assemblies are often subjected to thermal cycling during qualification testing or during actual use. The dwell periods at the high temperature extreme during thermal cycling cause thermal aging phenomena in the solder material, including microstructural evolution and material property degradation. In addition, lead free solders can also experience aging effects during the ramp periods between the low and high temperature extremes of the cycling. In this study, the mechanical behavior evolution occurring in SAC305 lead free solder subjected to various thermal cycling exposures has been investigated. Uniaxial test specimens were prepared by reflowing solder in rectangular cross-section glass tubes with a controlled temperature profile. After reflow solidification, the samples were placed into the environmental chamber and thermally cycled from −40 C to +125 C under a stress-free condition (no load). Several thermal cycling profiles were examined including: (1) 90 minute cycles with 15 minutes ramps and 30 minutes dwells, (2) air-to-air thermal shock exposures with 30 minutes dwells and near instantaneous ramps, (3) 30 minute cycles with 15 minutes ramps and no dwells (saw tooth profile), (4) 150 minute cycles with 45 minutes ramps and 30 minutes dwells, and (5) no cycling (simple aging at the high temperature extreme). For each profile, 10–15 samples were cycled for various durations of cycling (e.g. 48, 96, and 240 cycles), which were equivalent to various aging times at the high temperature extreme of T = 125 C. After cycling, the stress-strain curves and mechanical properties including effective elastic modulus and Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) of all the cycled samples were measured. For each cycling profile, the evolutions of the mechanical properties were characterized as a function of the cycling duration, as well as the net aging time at the high temperature extreme. Comparison of the results of various thermal cycling profiles showed that the detrimental effects of aging are accelerated in a thermal cycling environment. Furthermore, microstructure evolution during thermal cycling has also been investigated to validate the observed mechanical properties degradation. The test results revealed that the mechanical properties degradation of SAC305 are higher in thermal cycling compared to simple equivalent aging. For example, the elastic modulus and UTS of SAC305 reduced by 41%, and 38%, respectively after 5 days aging whereas these properties reduced by 69%, and 51%, respectively after 5 days equivalent aging using thermal cycling profile #4 (240 cycles).

AbstractAmorphous Mg-Fe silicates are produced from microwave-dried sol-gels and their thermal crystallisation is studied via in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. Mg-pyroxene crystallised to forsterite, enstatite and cristobalite. The inclusion of 10% Fe formed only forsterite at much higher temperature, while pure Mg-olivine crystallised at a lower temperature than Mg-pyroxene. Cristobalite is observed as a high-temperature crystallite in the pure-Mg compositions. Crystallisation activation energies are derived and discussed in relation to protoplanetary disks.

A study on heat tolerance in sweet pepper was conducted at the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Centre (AVRDC), Taiwan from December 1999 to May 2000. Experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of 29/23°C and 24/18°C stress on 12 sweet pepper genotypes on growth, development, reproductive behaviour and yield potentialities and to verify the results of the phytotron study. Performance of 12 sweet pepper genotypes was evaluated under two different temperature regimes of 24/18° C and 29/23° C in the phytotron. Plant height was found higher at 29/23° C compared to 24/18° C. High temperature reduced percent fruit set as well as size of fruits. Individual fruit weight was higher (7.44-125.00 g) when grown at 24/18°C and lower (5.35-103.80 g) at 29/23°C. Out of 12 genotypes, SP00l, SP002, SP004, and SP012 performed poor in respect of per plant yield at higher temperature compared to the lower temperature. So, these four genotypes were considered to be heat sensitive than the others. Leaf proline content of the sensitive genotypes decreased under the high temperature conditions and the heat tolerant lines produced higher amount of proline indicating the role of proline in expressing the heat tolerant capability of sweet pepper genotypes concerned.
