Leaf Midrib

This paper aims at introducing a new natural fibers used as ground improvement material, which enables to improve the engineering properties of poor soil in an economical and sustainable manner. An investigation of extraction procedure of coconut leaf midrib has been undertaken. The study of tensile behavior of ground improvement material with different strain rate is very significant since, the small strain rate study simulates long term loading and large strain rate study simulates impact loading condition. The strain rate chosen for the present study were in terms of percentage of gauge length of specimen per minute. Moreover, the optimum strain rate and characteristic tensile strength of coconut leaf midrib was established by using Weibull parameters.

7055 Aluminum Alloy

7055 aluminum alloy is widely used in manufacture of key components in fields of aerospace. Hot forming is the vital process for manufacture of components. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) plays a significant role in grain refinement. Hot compressions and metallographic tests are conducted. Equations of DRX kinetics are fitted by least square method and finite element models (FEM) coupled with DRX kinetics equations are established to study the effects of forming parameters on microstructure evolution. The results show that true stress increases with ascending strain rate and decreases with ascending temperature. Large strain, small strain rate and high temperature are beneficial to sufficient DRX fraction and grain refinement. Deformation energy and thermally activated motion of atoms and molecules resulting from large strain and high temperature contribute to dynamic nucleation; meanwhile, small strain rate provides sufficient time for growth of recrystallized grains. The FEM results agree with experiments.

The Difference

Recently, our research team has been considering to applying shape memory alloys (SMA) constitutive model to analyze the large and small deformation about the SMA materials because of the thermo-dynamics and phase transformation driving force. Accordingly, our team use simulations method to illustrate the characteristics of the model in large strain deformation and small strain deformation when different loading, uniaxial tension, and shear conditions involve in the situations. Furthermore, the simulation result unveils that the difference is nuance concerning the two method based on the uniaxial tension case, while the large deformation and the small deformation results have huge difference based on shear deformation case. This research gives the way to the further research about the constitutive model of SMA, especially in the multitiaxial non-proportional loading aspects.

Set Up

In this paper is described the mechanical characterization at high strain rate of the high strength steel usually adopted for strands. The experimental set-up used for high strain rates testing: in tension and compression was the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar installed in the Laboratory of Dynamic Investigation of Materials in Nizhny Novgorod. The high strain rate data in tension was obtained with dog-bone shaped specimens of 3mm in diameter and 5mm of gauge length. The specimens were screwed between incident and transmitter bars. The specimens used in compression was a cylinder of 3mm in diameter and 5mm in length. The enhancement of the mechanical properties is quite limited compared the usual reinforcing steels.

AbstractMechanical properties are vital for living cells, and various models have been developed to study the mechanical behavior of cells. However, there is debate regarding whether a cell behaves more similarly to a “cortical shell – liquid core” structure (membrane-like) or a homogeneous solid (cytoskeleton-like) when experiencing stress by mechanical forces. Unlike most experimental methods, which concern the small-strain deformation of a cell, we focused on the mechanical behavior of a cell undergoing small to large strain by conducting microinjection experiments on zebrafish embryo cells. The power law with order of 1.5 between the injection force and the injection distance indicates that the cell behaves as a homogenous solid at small-strain deformation. The linear relation between the rupture force and the microinjector radius suggests that the embryo behaves as membrane-like when subjected to large-strain deformation. We also discuss the possible reasons causing the debate by analyzing the mechanical properties of F-actin filaments.

Abstract We herein propose an alternative model for deformation caused by an eruption at Sakurajima, which have been previously interpreted as being due to a Mogi-type spherical point source beneath Minami-dake. On November 13, 2017, a large explosion with a plume height of 4,200 m occurred at Minami-dake. During the three minutes following the onset of the explosion (November 13, 2017, 22:07–22:10 (Japan standard time (UTC+9); the same hereinafter), phase 1, a large strain change was detected at the Arimura observation tunnel (AVOT) located approximately 2.1 km southeast from the Minami-dake crater. After the peak of the explosion (November 13, 2017, 22:10–24:00), phase 2, a large deflation was detected at every monitoring station due to the continuous Strombolian eruption. Subsidence toward Minami-dake was detected at five out of six stations whereas subsidence toward the north of Sakurajima was detected at the newly installed Komen observation tunnel (KMT), located approximately 4.0 km northeast from the Minami-dake crater. The large strain change at AVOT as well as small tilt changes of all stations and small strain changes at HVOT and KMT during phase 1 can be explained by a very shallow deflation source beneath Minami-dake at 0.1 km below sea level (bsl). For phase 2, a deeper deflation source beneath Minami-dake at a depth of 3.3 km bsl was found in addition to the shallow source beneath Minami-dake which turned inflation after the deflation obtained during phase 1. However, this model cannot explain the tilt change of KMT. Adding a spherical deflation source beneath Kita-dake at a depth of 3.2 km bsl can explain the tilt and strain change at KMT and the other stations. The Kita-dake source was also found in a previous study of long-term ground deformation. Not only the deeper Minami-dake source MD but also the Kita-dake source deflated due to the Minami-dake explosion.

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are stimulus-responsive soft materials that consist of polymeric matrices and magnetic particles. In this study, large-strain response of MREs with 5 vol % of carbonyl iron (CI) particles is experimentally characterized for two different conditions: (1) shear deformation in a uniform magnetic field; and (2), compression in a heterogeneous uniaxial magnetic field. For condition (1), dynamic viscoelastic measurements were performed using a rheometer with a rotor disc and an electric magnet that generated a uniform magnetic field on disc-like material samples. For condition (2), on the other hand, three permanent magnets with different surface flux densities were used to generate a heterogeneous uniaxial magnetic field under cylindrical material samples. The experimental results were mathematically modeled, and the relationship between them was investigated. We also used finite-element method (FEM) software to estimate the uniaxial distributions of the magnetic field in the analyzed MREs for condition (2), and developed mathematical models to describe these phenomena. By using these practicable techniques, we established a simple macroscale model of the elastic properties of MREs under simple compression. We estimated the elastic properties of MREs in the small-strain regime (neo–Hookean model) and in the large-strain regime (Mooney–Rivlin model). The small-strain model explains the experimental results for strains under 5%. On the other hand, the large-strain model explains the experimental results for strains above 10%.
