The work deals with the analysis of the multiaxial fatigue damage of a C45 steel and its relationship with the thermal energy dissipation used in the last decades to estimate the uniaxial fatigue behavior of metals. For this purpose, thin-walled samples made of quenched and tempered C45 steel were tested under completely reversed combined axial and torsional cyclic loadings with different biaxiality ratios and phase-shift angles. The analyses of the crack paths at the initiation of the failure were performed after a 50% of stiffness loss that corresponded to a crack size ranging from 10 to 20 mm; afterwards, the characteristic crack paths of each loading condition were analysed by using a digital microscope to identify the direction of the crack at the initiation. The fatigue crack initiation points were inspected using a Scanning Electron Microscope after having broken under static tensile loading all specimens previously tested under fatigue. The specific heat loss per cycle was measured during the fatigue tests by applying the cooling gradient technique. Nevertheless, the fatigue damages observed are dependent on the load condition, the Q parameter was able to collapse all the axial, torsional and multiaxial fatigue test results in a sole scatter band

In order to investigate the effect of plasma nitriding treatment on fatigue behavior of titanium alloys, very high cycle fatigue tests were carried out for Ti-6Al-4V alloy using an ultrasonic fatigue machine under load control conditions for stress ratios of R=-1 at frequency of ƒ=20KHz. Experiment results showed that plasma nitriding treatment played the principal role in the internal fatigue crack initiation. More importantly, plasma nitriding treatment had a detrimental effect on fatigue properties of the investigated Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and the fatigue strength of material after plasma nitriding treatment appeared to be significantly reduced about 17% over the untreated material.

Abstract Diatoms possess an impressive capacity for rapidly inducible thermal dissipation of excess absorbed energy (qE), provided by the xanthophyll diatoxanthin and Lhcx proteins. By knocking out the Lhcx1 and Lhcx2 genes individually in Phaeodactylum tricornutum strain 4 and complementing the knockout lines with different Lhcx proteins, multiple mutants with varying qE capacities are obtained, ranging from zero to high values. We demonstrate that qE is entirely dependent on the concerted action of diatoxanthin and Lhcx proteins, with Lhcx1, Lhcx2 and Lhcx3 having similar functions. Moreover, we establish a clear link between Lhcx1/2/3 mediated inducible thermal energy dissipation and a reduction in the functional absorption cross-section of photosystem II. This regulation of the functional absorption cross-section can be tuned by altered Lhcx protein expression in response to environmental conditions. Our results provide a holistic understanding of the rapidly inducible thermal energy dissipation process and its mechanistic implications in diatoms.

The objective of this work was to study physiological characteristics and photosynthetic apparatus in differentially pigmented leaves of three Chinese kale cultivars. Chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and photochemical reflectance index (PRI) measurements in green, yellow-green, and dark-green cultivars in response to varying light intensities. As light intensity increased from 200 to 2000 photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), fraction of light absorbed in photosystem (PS) II and PRI values in all plants were strongly lowered, but fraction of light absorbed in PSII dissipated via thermal energy dissipation and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) values in all plants wereremarkably elevated.When plants were exposed to 200 PPFD, the values of fraction of light absorbed in PSII, utilized in photosynthetic electron transport(p), andfraction of light absorbed excitation energy in PSII dissipated via thermal energy dissipation (D), remained stable regardless of the changes in levels of Chla + b. Under 800 and 1200 PPFD, the values of p and electron transport rate (ETR) decreased, but D and NPQ increased as Chla + bcontent decreased, suggesting that decrease inChla + bcontent led to lower PSII efficiency and it became necessary to increase dissipate excess energy. On the contrary, in 2000 PPFD, leaves with lower Chla + bcontent had relatively higher p and electron transport rate (ETR) values and lower D level, as well as tended to increase more in NPQ but decrease more in PRI values. The consistent relations between PRI and NPQ suggest that NPQ is mainly consisted ofthe xanthophyll cycle-dependentenergy quenching.Yellow-green cultivar showed lower Chla + bcontent but high carotenoids/Chla + b ratio and had high light protection ability under high PPFD. The precise management of photosynthetic parameters in response to light intensity can maximize the growth and development of Chinese kale plants.

The purpose of the present research project is to study multiaxial fatigue behavior of 2618 alloy. The influence of mean stress on the fatigue behavior under tension and torsion is particularly investigated. Fatigue tests under combined tensile-torsion, in or out of phase, as well as combined tensile-torsion-internal pressure tests have also been conducted. Multiaxial fatigue results are analyzed according to Fatemi-Socie criterion to predict the fatigue life.
