The effect of partial crystallization on the mechanical properties of a Zr based bulk metallic glass (Vitreloy 1) is investigated. Viscoelastic properties are studied by mechanical spectroscopy in large frequency and temperature ranges, both below or above the glass transition temperature (Tg), whereas viscoplastic properties are investigated by compression tests . To study the interaction between crystallization and mechanical properties at high temperature, nanocomposites are produced thanks to appropriate heat treatments. Formation of nanocrystalline particles induces an increase of the storage elastic modulus, especially in the glass transition range, where this modulus is very low in the amorphous material. It also results in a decrease of the loss elastic modulus, corresponding to a decrease of the atomic mobility. Finally, partial crystallization induces very large hardening revealed by the compression tests but the hardening extent depends strongly on the applied strain rate.

The influence of annealing on the structural changes and the mechanical properties of Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 (Vit-1) bulk metallic glass was systematically studied by varying the annealing times at 703 K. The evolution of the structural state at a relatively high temperature within the supercooled liquid region was studied by thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, extended x-ray absorption fine structure, and dilatometric measurements. The deformation behavior and the mechanical properties were also examined by carrying out hardness and compression tests for the specimens annealed for various times.

Among modern refractory concretes (MRC), those with low cement content (LCC) where CAC = 4-6wt%, are widely commercialized, considering that their properties approximate those of burned bricks of the same class. In this work, the effect of the modulus q of Andreasen ́s particle size distribution, on the physical (porosity, bulk density) and mechanical (flexural strength and dynamic elastic modulus) properties, of either pre-fired or simply dried specimens of a ≥85% Al2O3 LCC ́s, was investigated. The different LCC ́s samples were formulated according to the Andreasen ́s model, using several distribution modulus (q = 0.22, 0.26, 0.30, 0.33 and 0.42). Measurements of the Dynamic Elastic Modulus (DEM) as a function of temperature (25 to 1500°C), using the Impulse Excitation Technique (IET), were taken as a key indicator of the microstructure dynamic behavior. For the sake of just a punctual comparative term, the physical and mechanical properties of a conventional type refractory concrete (CRC) with a higher CAC percentage (15%) formulated with q = 0.26 was also evaluated. The results indicated that distribution modulus values of; q =0.22, 0,26, 0.30 and 0.33 lead to higher DEM values. While q=0.42 lead to the smallest value in the LCC series. Also, higher DEM values ​​were obtained for LCC ́s (CAC = 5%) than for conventional concrete with CAC = 15% under the same value of q for pre-fired samples. In addition, by observing the occurrence of damping effects in specific temperature ranges, the loss of crystallization water from the calcium aluminate hydrates, as well as the development of pyroplastic behavior could be inferred. The gathered information is relevant to predict the behavior of LCC ́s and CRC ́s when put into service for the first time.

BACKGROUND: Biological hydrogels provide a conducive three-dimensional extracellular matrix environment for encapsulating and cultivating living cells. Microenvironmental modulus of hydrogels dictates several characteristics of cell functions such as proliferation, adhesion, self-renewal, differentiation, migration, cell morphology and fate. Precise measurement of the mechanical properties of gels is necessary for investigating cellular mechanobiology in a variety of applications in tissue engineering. Elastic properties of gels are strongly influenced by the amount of crosslinking density. OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of the present study was to determine the elastic modulus of two types of well-known biological hydrogels: Agarose and Gelatin Methacryloyl. METHODS: Mechanical properties such as Young’s modulus, fracture stress and failure strain of the prescribed gels with a wide range of concentrations were determined using tension and compression tests. RESULTS: The elastic modulus, failure stress and strain were found to be strongly influenced when the amount of concentration in the hydrogels was changed. The elastic modulus for a lower level of concentration, not considered in this study, was also predicted using statistical analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Closed matching of the mechanical properties of the gels revealed that the bulk tension and compression tests could be confidently used for assessing mechanical properties of delicate biological hydrogels.

Various nylon 6-clay hybrids, such as molecular composites of nylon 6 and silicate layers of montmorillonite and saponite, NCH's and NCHP's, respectively, have been synthesized. To estimate the mechanical properties of these hybrids, tensile, flexural, impact, and heat distortion tests were carried out. NCH was found superior in strength and modulus and comparable in impact strength to nylon 6. The heat distortion temperature (HDT) of NCH (montmorillonite: 4.7 wt. %) was 152 °C, which was 87 °C higher than that of nylon 6. In NCHP, saponite had a smaller effect on the increase of these mechanical properties. The modulus and HDT of NCH and NCHP increased with an increase in the amount of clay minerals. It was found that these properties were well described by the contribution of the constrained region calculated from the storage and loss modulus at the glass transition temperature. According to the mixing law on elastic modulus, the following expression was obtained between the modulus E at 120 °C and the fraction of the constrained region C, En = Ecn = C, where the values of n and Ec (modulus of the constrained region) were 0.685 and 1.02 GPa, respectively.

In order to study the mechanical properties of sandstone under the coupling action of chemical erosion and freeze-thaw cycles, the fine-grained yellow sandstone in a mining area in Zigong, China, is collected as the research object. The changes in mechanical properties of yellow sandstone under the coupling action of chemical solution erosion and freeze-thaw cycles are analyzed based on uniaxial compression tests (UCTs) and triaxial compression tests (TCTs). The results show that, with the increase in freeze-thaw cycles, the compressive strength, elastic modulus, and cohesion of the sandstone samples decrease with varying degrees. Under constant freeze-thaw cycles, the most serious mechanical properties of degradation are observed in acidic solution, followed by alkaline solution and neutral solution. Under different confining pressures, the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the sandstone samples decrease exponentially with the increase in freeze-thaw cycles. Under the action of the chemical solution erosion and freeze-thaw cycles, the internal friction angle fluctuates around 30°. For the cohesion degradation, 35.4%, 29.3%, and 27.2% degradation are observed under acidic, alkaline, and neutral solutions. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging shows that the chemical erosion and freeze-thaw cycles both promote the degradation of rock properties from surface to interior; after 45 freeze-thaw cycles, the mechanical properties drop sharply. To properly design rock tunneling support and long-term protection in the cold region, the impact of both freeze-thaw cycles and chemical erosion should be considered.

Water injection in coal seams will lead to the increase of moisture content in coal, which plays an essential role in the physical and mechanical properties of coal. In order to study the influence of moisture content on the mechanical properties of soft media, the forming pressure (20 MPa) and particle size ratio (0-1 mm (50%), 1-2 mm (25%), and 2-3 mm (25%)) during briquette preparation were firstly determined in this paper. Briquettes with different moisture contents (3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 15%) were prepared by using self-developed briquettes. Uniaxial and triaxial compression tests were carried out using the RMT-150C rock mechanics test system. The results show that the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of briquette samples increase first and then decrease with the increase of briquette water, while Poisson’s ratio decreases first and then increases with the increase of briquette water. When the moisture content is around 9%, the maximum uniaxial compressive strength is 0.866 MPa, the maximum elastic modulus is 1.385 GPa, and Poisson’s ratio is at the minimum of 0.259. The compressive strength of briquettes increases with the increase of confining pressure. With the increase of moisture content, the cohesion and internal friction angle of briquettes first increased and then decreased.
