Jackfruit frozen confection has been mechanically characterised in situ by using compression tests. There are no available studies on the mechanical behaviour of jackfruit frozen confection.   The aim of this study is to identify the mechanical properties of jackfruit frozen confections formulated with different concentrations of jackfruit puree. In this study, the experimental analyses are conducted using a compression test device made from LEGO Mindstorms EV3. The portable device is placed inside a freezer to enable the measurements to be done in low temperatures (-20oC). This is to overcome the limitation of an actual texture analyser which can only be operated at room temperature. The mechanical properties of jackfruit frozen confections at different jackfruit puree concentrations (10%, 20% and 30%) are obtained using the tester and analysed. The tests conducted are uniaxial compression, stress relaxation test and multi-step stress relaxation test. It has been observed that frozen confection with 20% jackfruit puree concentration (JF20) is able to withstand a higher force of compression (27.79kPa) compared to the ones with 10% (JF10) and 30% (JF30) concentrations, at 21.15kPa and 10.48kPa, respectively. For stress relaxation test, JF30 has the highest increasing stress for a strain of 0.05 to 0.2 but it decreases at a strain of 0.3 to 0.4. The results of the multi-step relaxation test on JF30 show agreement with the other two tests where the stress decays starting from the 3rd step until the 5th step of the test. This study provides information on the behaviour of jackfruit frozen confection when subjected to compression and stress that imitates the movement during consumption.

In situ devitrification and consolidation of gas atomized Al87Ni8La5 glassy powders into highly dense bulk specimens was carried out by spark plasma sintering. Room temperature compression tests of the consolidated bulk material reveal remarkable mechanical properties, namely, high compression strength of 930 MPa combined with plastic strain exceeding 25%. These findings demonstrate that the combined devitrification and consolidation of glassy precursors by spark plasma sintering is a suitable method for the production of Al-based materials characterized by high strength and considerable plastic deformation.

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the potential use of the borehole stress relaxation test to determine the creep and strength properties of frozen soils in situ. The paper presents the results of a series of laboratory pressuremeter relaxation tests performed in frozen sand and compares three possible interpretation methods for deducing from the test results the creep and strength parameters of frozen soils. Key words : borehole relaxation, pressuremeter, in situ testing, creep and strength properties, frozen soil.

ABSTRACTMo fiber reinforced NiAl in-situ composites with a nominal composition Ni-43.8Al-9.5Mo (at.%) were produced by specially controlled directional solidification (DS) using a laboratory-scale Bridgman furnace equipped with a liquid metal cooling (LMC) device. In these composites, single crystalline Mo fibers were precipitated out through eutectic reaction and aligned parallel to the growth direction of the ingot. Mechanical properties, i.e. the creep resistance at high temperatures (HT, between 900 °C and 1200 °C) and the fracture toughness at room temperature (RT) of in-situ NiAl-Mo composites, were characterized by tensile creep (along the growth direction) and flexure (four-point bending, vertical to the growth direction) tests, respectively. In the current study, a steady creep rate of 10-6s-1 at 1100 °C under an initial applied tensile stress of 150MPa was measured. The flexure tests sustained a fracture toughness of 14.5 MPa·m1/2at room temperature. Compared to binary NiAl and other NiAl alloys, these properties showed a remarkably improvement in creep resistance at HT and fracture toughness at RT that makes this composite a potential candidate material for structural application at the temperatures above 1000 °C. The mechanisms responsible for the improvement of the mechanical properties in NiAl-Mo in-situ composites were discussed based on the investigation results.

AbstractThe stress induced growth of individual voids in passivated Al-lines at room temperature was monitored in-situ without removing the passivation. The kinetics was strongly influenced by variations in line gec.etry, even over distances of many Am, indicating variations in the stress relaxation as well.

The current paper investigates on the creep behavior of 12Cr-Mo-W-0.25V heat resistant steel base on the long-term stress relaxation test data. It is shows that the stress relaxation curve can be divided into 2 stages: the high stress stage has higher apparent activation volume of 79~350 b3 and the low stress stage is 35~78 b3. Besides, the Helmholtz free energy at the high stress stage is 827~1034 kJ/mol which is higher than 210~252 kJ/mol of the low stress stage. Taking both apparent activation volume and activation energy into account, it is assumed that the high stress stage is mainly controlled by dislocation slip and the low stress stage is more related to diffusion.
