Gradient-dependent plasticity considering the microstructural effect is introduced into Johnson-Cook model to calculate the nonuniform temperature distribution in adiabatic shear band (ASB) and the evolutions of average and peak temperatures in ASB. Effects of initial static yield stress, strain-hardening coefficient, strain-hardening exponent, strain-rate parameter and thermal-softening parameter are numerically investigated. The calculated peak temperature in ASB considering both the plastic work and the microstructural effect is always greater than the average temperature calculated only using the plastic work. For much lower flow shear stress, the peak temperature approaches two times the average temperature. The occurrence of phase transformation in ASB is easier in metal material with higher initial static yield stress, strain-hardening coefficient, strain-rate parameter and thermal-softening parameter. At much lower flow shear stress or much higher average plastic shear strain, the phase transformation occurs more easily in material with a lower strain-hardening exponent. Traditional elastoplastic theory without the microstructural effect underestimates the peak temperature in ASB so that the experimentally observed phase transformations cannot be explained.

Gradient-dependent plasticity where a characteristic length is involved to consider the microstructural effect (interactions and interplaying among microstructures due to the heterogeneous texture) is introduced into Johnson-Cook model considering the effects of strain-hardening, thermal softening and strain rate sensitivity. Effects of initial static yield stress, strain-hardening coefficient and exponent, strain-rate and thermal-softening parameters on the occurrence of phase transformation and the thickness of phase transformed adiabatic shear band (ASB) in deformed ASB are numerically investigated. Higher initial static yield stress, strain-hardening coefficient, strain-rate parameter and lower strain-hardening exponent lead to earlier occurrence of phase transformation (lower plastic shear strain). Effect of thermal-softening parameter on plastic shear strain corresponding to the onset of phase transformation is not monotonous. Transformed ASB is located at the center of deformed ASB since the position has higher temperature exceeding the temperature of phase transformation. The thickness of transformed ASB increases with decreasing flow shear stress and the increasing tendency becomes slow. For the same flow shear stress, the thickness of transformed ASB is wider for higher initial static yield stress, strain-hardening coefficient and exponent, strain-rate and thermal-softening parameters. Compared with classical elastoplastic theory applicable to completely homogenous material, gradient-dependent plasticity considering the microstructural effect predicts that phase transformation occurs earlier and that the thickness of transformed ASB changes with flow shear stress.

The coexistent phenomenon of deformed and transformed adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) is analyzed using Johnson-Cook model and gradient-dependent plasticity for heterogeneous ductile metal material. The size of deformed ASB is described by the internal length reflecting the heterogeneity of material. Microstructural effect leads to a nonuniform distribution of temperature rise in deformed ASB. When the peak temperature in deformed ASB exceeds the transformation temperature, a transformed ASB appears at the center of deformed ASB. With a decrease of flow shear stress, the width of transformed ASB increases until its upper bound, i.e., the size of deformed ASB, is reached. The effects of initial temperature and strain rate on the occurrence of transformation, evolution of the thickness of transformed ASB, distributions of local temperature and plastic shear deformation in ASB are investigated. Lower initial temperature results in higher peak shear stress, later occurrence of shear strain localization, lower shear stress when transformation occurs, later occurrence of transformation, thinner transformed ASB, lower peak temperature in ASB, and lower value of local plastic shear deformation in the boundaries of transformed ASB. At higher strain rates, the transformed ASB is wider; the peak temperature in ASB is higher; the value of local plastic shear deformation in the boundaries of transformed ASB is higher; the flow shear stress that corresponds to transformation is higher; earlier occurrence of transformation and higher peak shear stress will be expected.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive bone cancer originating in the mesenchymal lineage. Prognosis for metastatic disease is poor, with a mortality rate of approximately 40%; OS is an aggressive disease for which new treatments are needed. All bone cells are sensitive to their mechanical/physical surroundings and changes in these surroundings can affect their behavior. However, it is not well understood how OS cells specifically respond to fluid movement, or substrate stiffness—two stimuli of relevance in the tumor microenvironment. We used cells from spontaneous OS tumors in a mouse engineered to have a bone-specific knockout of pRb-1 and p53 in the osteoblast lineage. We silenced Sox2 (which regulates YAP) and tested the effect of fluid flow shear stress (FFSS) and substrate stiffness on YAP expression/activity—which was significantly reduced by loss of Sox2, but that effect was reversed by FFSS but not by substrate stiffness. Osteogenic gene expression was also reduced in the absence of Sox2 but again this was reversed by FFSS and remained largely unaffected by substrate stiffness. Thus we described the effect of two distinct stimuli on the mechanosensory and osteogenic profiles of OS cells. Taken together, these data suggest that modulation of fluid movement through, or stiffness levels within, OS tumors could represent a novel consideration in the development of new treatments to prevent their progression.

Anomaly of the Work Hardening of Zn-Cu Single Crystals Oriented for Slip in Secondary SystemsThe copper alloyed (up to 1.5%) zinc single crystals oriented for slip in non-basal systems (orientation close to < 1120 >) were subjected to compression test within a range of temperatures of 77-293K. It has been stated, that Zn-Cu crystals exhibit characteristic anomalies of the thermal dependence of yield stress and of the strain hardening exponent. Both of them are related to the change in type and sequence of active non-basal slip systems: pyramidal of the 1storder {1011} < 1123 > (Py-1) and pyramidal of the 2ndorder {1122} < 1123 > (Py-2). The temperature anomaly of the yield stress results from the change of the slip from Py-2 systems to simultaneous slip in the Py-2 and Py-1 (Py-2 + Py-1) systems, occurring in the preyielding stage. On the other hand, sequential activation of pyramidal systems taking place in advanced plastic stage (i.e. the first Py-2 and next Py-2 + Py-1 systems) is responsible for temperature anomaly of strain hardening exponent. Increase in copper addition favors the activity of Py-2 systems at the expense of Py-1 slip, what leads to a drastic differences in plastic behavior of zinc single crystals.

It is known that stress corrosion cracking (SCC) found in the operational power plants show complex cracking behaviors and it’s resulted in complex crack shape e.g. crack branching and its uneven crack front. For the cracking near the weldment, this is due to crack penetrated along the complex distribution of residual stress and strain hardened area. In this investigation, in order to advance the accuracy for crack growth prediction with considering such complex fields, theoretical formulation for SCC growth was further modified. Hardness of the materials, which is a measureable parameter even in operational power plant, was focused on to reflect strain hardening of the component like heat affected zone of the weldments. The theoretical formulation for SCC growth has terms with yield strength of the material and strain hardening exponent to describe crack tip strain rate. Strain hardening was simulated by cross rolling with the range of 4 – 32% as thickness reduction. Correlation between yield strength, strain hardening exponent at 288°C and Vickers hardness was obtained by means of tensile tests and hardness tests on 316L stainless steel. It was observed that a monotonic increase in Vickers hardness and yield strength with degree of reduction in thickness worked by cross rolling. Relationship between Vickers hardness and yield strength was found to have linear correlation. Further confirmation was made by plotting the reported mechanical properties data in terms of Vickers hardness. In addition, linear relationship was found between yield strength and strain hardening exponent. These relationships were introduced into SCC theoretical formulation and a SCC growth rate prediction curve in terms of Vickers hardness was proposed. SCC crack growth evaluation tests with selected work hardened 316L stainless steel were performed in oxygenated pure water environment at 288°C to confirm the predictability of the formulation. The prediction curve had a good agreement with available literature data as well as obtained crack growth rates in the hardness range of 140–300HV which was likely expected one in weld HAZ.

The effect of a temporal gradient in shear and steady shear on the activity of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/ERK2), c- fos, and connexin43 (Cx43) in human endothelial cells was investigated. Three laminar flow profiles (16 dyn/cm2), including impulse flow (shear stress abruptly applied for 3 s), ramp flow (shear stress smoothly transitioned at flow onset), and step flow (shear stress abruptly applied at flow onset) were utilized. Relative to static controls, impulse flow stimulated the phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2 8.5- to 7.5-fold, respectively at 10 min, as well as the mRNA expression of c- fos 51-fold at 30 min, and Cx43 8-fold at 90 min. These high levels of mRNA expression were sustained for at least 4 h. In contrast, ramp flow was unable to significantly induce gene expression and even inhibited the activation of ERK1/ERK2. Step flow, which contains both a sharp temporal gradient in shear stress and a steady shear component, elicited only moderate and transient responses, indicating the distinct role of these fluid shear stimuli in endothelial signal transduction. The specific inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase PD-98059 inhibited impulse flow-induced c -fos and Cx43 mRNA expression. Thus these findings implicate the involvement of ERK1/ERK2, c -fos, and Cx43 in the signaling pathway induced by the temporal gradient in shear.
