The results of experimental studies of masonry on the action of dynamic and static (short-term and long-term) loads are presented. The possibility of plastic deformations in the masonry is analyzed for different types of force effects. The falsity of the proposed approach to the estimation of the coefficient of plasticity of masonry, taking into account the ratio of elastic and total deformations of the masonry is noted. The study of the works of Soviet scientists revealed that the masonry under the action of seismic loads refers to brittle materials in the complete absence of plastic properties in it in the process of instantaneous application of forces. For the cases of uniaxial and plane stress states of the masonry, data on the coefficient of plasticity obtained from the experiment are presented. On the basis of experimental studies the influence of the strength of the so-called base materials (brick, mortar) on the bearing capacity of the masonry, regardless of the nature of the application of forces and the type of its stress state, is noted. The analysis of works of prof. S. V. Polyakov makes it possible to draw a conclusion that at the long application of the load, characteristic for the masonry are not plastic deformations, but creep deformations. It is shown that the proposals of some authors on the need to reduce the level of adhesion of the mortar to the brick for the masonry erected in earthquake-prone regions in order to improve its plastic properties are erroneous both from the structural point of view and from the point of view of ensuring the seismic resistance of structures. It is noted that the proposal to assess the plasticity of the masonry of ceramic brick walls and large-format ceramic stone with a voidness of more than 20% is incorrect, and does not meet the work of the masonry of hollow material. On the basis of the analysis of a large number of research works it is concluded about the fragile work of masonry.

The author presented experimental data on the influence of technological factors on the quality indexes of tablets based on a cryoliofilized salmonella bacteriophage. The analysis of the technological properties of model granules with such parameters as bulk density, flow ability, vibration compacting index, Hausner index, Сarr's index showed that the fractional composition of the granules should contain no more than 33 % of the pulverized fraction (0,25 mm or less). The granulate, regardless of its fractional composition, has elastic-plastic properties characterizing the strength of the tablets. The influence of the pressing pressure of the cryoliofilized composition tablets with salmonella bacteriophage on the crush strength and disintegration of enteric-soluble tablets was studied. The optimum compression pressure of tablets within 60 mPa of granules with a content of pulp fraction (0.25 mm or less) is not to be higher than 33 %.

The article presents the results of studies on the production of wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm from aluminum alloy 01417 with a content of rare-earth metals (REM) in the amount of 7-9% for aircraft construction needs. The deformation modes, the experimental technique and equipment for the implementation of the proposed technology described. The wire was obtained by drawing and bar rolling with subsequent drawing from a rod with a diameter of 5 mm, obtained previously using the process of combined rolling-extruding (CRE) from a continuous ingot with a diameter of 12 mm, cast in an electromagnetic mold (EMM). The wire obtained by the presented technology was subjected to 4 different heat treatment modes with annealing temperatures from 350 to 500 °C and holding time of 1 h in the furnace to achieve mechanical and electrophysical properties corresponding to TS 1-809-1038-2018. The level of strength and plastic properties obtained in the course of research required only one intermediate annealing. The microstructure of the wire was investigated and the modes were revealed that made it possible to obtain the required level of mechanical properties and electrical resistivity, satisfying TS 1-809-1038-2018.

AbstractThe mammary gland (MG) is an exocrine gland present in female mammals responsible for the production and secretion of milk during the process of lactation. It is mainly composed by epithelial cells and adipocytes. Among the features that make the MG unique there are 1) its highly plastic properties displayed during pregnancy, lactation and involution (all steps belonging to the lactation cycle) and 2) its requirement to grow in close association with adipocytes which are absolutely necessary to ensure MG’s proper development at puberty and remodeling during the lactation cycle. Although MG adipocytes play such a critical role for the gland development, most of the studies have focused on its epithelial component only, leaving the role of the neighboring adipocytes largely unexplored. In this review we aim to describe evidences regarding MG’s adipocytes role and properties in physiologic conditions (gland development and lactation cycle), obesity and breast cancer, emphasizing the existing gaps in the literature which deserve further investigation.

The present paper concerns the general solution for finite plane strain pure bending of incompressible, orthotropic sheets. In contrast to available solutions, the new solution is valid for inhomogeneous distributions of plastic properties. The solution is semi-analytic. A numerical treatment is only necessary for solving transcendent equations and evaluating ordinary integrals. The solution’s starting point is a transformation between Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates that is valid for a wide class of constitutive equations. The symmetric distribution relative to the center line of the sheet is separately treated where it is advantageous. It is shown that this type of symmetry simplifies the solution. Hill’s quadratic yield criterion is adopted. Both elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions are derived. Elastic unloading is also considered, and it is shown that reverse plastic yielding occurs at a relatively large inside radius. An illustrative example uses real experimental data. The distribution of plastic properties is symmetric in this example. It is shown that the difference between the elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions is negligible, except at the very beginning of the process. However, the rigid/plastic solution is much simpler and, therefore, can be recommended for practical use at large strains, including calculating the residual stresses.

This paper presents the chemical and phase composition, microstructure, and selected properties both at room temperature and at the temperature corresponding to the expected operating conditions of three successive generations of TiAl-based alloys (Ti-47Al-2W-0.5Si, Ti-45Al-8Nb-0.5(B,C), and Ti-45Al-5Nb-2Cr-1Mo-0.5(B,C)-0.2Si) melted in a vacuum induction furnace with high-density isostatic pressed graphite crucibles. The obtained results of mechanical and physical properties of the produced alloys were compared to the properties of reference alloys with similar chemical composition and melted in a cold copper crucible furnace. The effect of increased carbon content in the produced alloys due to the degradation of the graphite crucible during melting is higher strength properties, lower plastic properties, higher coefficient of thermal expansion, and improved creep resistance. It was shown that the proposed technology could be successfully used in the production of different generation TiAl-based intermetallic alloys.

Abstract In Part I (loc. cit.) the behavior of a plastic material in the parallel-plate (Williams) plastimeter was studied, and an expression was deduced showing how the rate of decrease in thickness of the sample during compression depends on the volume of the sample, its plastic properties, the compressive load, and the thickness itself. Subsequently, observations were published which showed that the basic principle adopted in this study was incorrect in certain particulars. Peek (loc. cit.), using these observations as a basis, deduced a new expression for the rate of decrease in thickness, though this is too complex for convenient practical use, except in an approximate simplified form. It has now been shown that the expression deduced in Part I, in spite of the inaccurate basis used, is sufficiently near to the truth to render substantially correct the conclusions there stated concerning the plastic properties of unvulcanized rubber stocks. By adopting the more accurate basis used by Peek, moreover, expressions for the rate of decrease in thickness can be deduced for materials showing more complex types of plastic flow than that considered in Part I or by Peek; this had proved impossible by the method previously used. The expression obtained by Peek for the simple type of plastic flow, as well as those now deduced for the more complex types, can be expressed in a form that furnishes a simple and rapid method of examining and analyzing experimental results. As a result of the work described in this paper, it is thus possible to determine, from results obtained with the parallel-plate plastimeter, whether or not a material such as unvulcanized rubber stock exhibits any of the types of plastic flow represented in the general form by Equation 1, and, if so, to find the values of the plastic constants of the material. The procedure is similar to that described in Part I, and consists simply in comparing, by superposition, a set of standard curves drawn on transparent paper with the curve plotted from experimental data. This further development of the method of studying plastic properties by means of the parallel-plate plastimeter should greatly increase its utility as an instrument of research. It has not yet been possible to apply the new method to a systematic study of rubber stocks, but from an examination of existing data it appears that these stocks, tested at 90° C., agree approximately with various forms of the generalized plastic flow equation already referred to.

Micro Indentation

Different approaches have been proposed in order to determine the material behavior of ductile materials. Since, the mechanical properties of a mechanical component are modified during manufacturing process due to plastic deformation, heat treatment and etc, a non-destructive indentation experimental procedure addressed to predict the elastic-plastic properties of material after manufacturing process is of interest. This is especially true for small size components where it is complex to extract specimens to test on standard test system. Based on dimensionless analysis and the concept of a representative strain, different approaches have been proposed to determine the material properties of power law materials by using indentation process. In this work, the Johnson-Cook (JC) constitutive model of the aluminum alloy Al6061-T6 is characterized by means of a well-defined optimization procedure based on micro-indentation testing and high fidelity finite element models and an optimization procedure but without the concept of dimensionless analysis and a representative strain. This methodology allows determining a set of JC constants for Al6061-T6. The obtained results have good agreement with parameters calibrated by means of universal standard tests and reverse engineering approach.
