Photoelectric properties and stability of the single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides under three stress states

In this paper, the electrical and optical properties of single-layer MoS2 and single-layer WS2 in three strain states: biaxial tension, biaxial compression, biaxial tension and compression are systematically studied. All calculations are based on the first-principle of density functional theory. The results show that after biaxial tension strain, biaxial compression strain, and biaxial tension-compression strain are applied, the atomic structure, energy band structure, and optical absorption coefficient will show disparate changing trends. When the biaxial tension and compression strain intensity is less than 15%, the bond length, bond angle, and light absorption peak will have little fluctuation with the increase of strain intensity. However, compared with the other two strain states, these two crystal structures are the most volatile at this time. In addition, when 15% biaxial tensile strain is applied, the two crystals can still maintain their kinetic stability.

Features of Constructing Recrystallization Curves of the 2nd and 3rd Types for High-Alloy Alloys of Various Structural Classes VZH159 and 14Cr17Ni2

The features of methods for constructing recrystallization curves of the second and third kind and the dependence “average grain size (area) - strain intensity – temperature” are given. For alloys of various structural classes VZH159 and 14Cr17Ni2 using the above methods, a recrystallization curve and the recrystallization dependence for a temperature of 1100℃ are constructed. The advantages and disadvantages of the above methods are considered.

Analysis of the Open Die Forging Process of the AZ91 Magnesium Alloy

The paper presents the results of numerical modelling of the forging process of magnesium alloy ingots on a hydraulic press with the use of flat and shaped anvils. The use of shaped (rhombic-trapezoid) anvils will affect the uniform distribution of temperature and strain intensity in the entire volume of the forging, causing a number of forging passes, which in consequence will reduce the costs of the blank manufacturing process. However, higher values of the strain intensity were obtained during the deformation of the material in flat anvils. The purpose of the research was to propose assumptions for forging technology of producing a blank from AZ91 alloy with the use of flat and shaped anvils. Numerical examination for AZ91 magnesium alloy was carried out using the Forge®NxT commercial software. The rheological properties of the investigated alloy were determined on the basis of uniaxial compression tests carried out in the Gleeble 3800 metallurgical simulation system. The numerical analysis of the process of forging AZ91 alloy ingots on a press was conducted in the temperature range of 200–400 °C and at several forging passes.

Development of a mathematical model of the influence of wall thickness on the strain rate when profiling pipes by drawing

The change in the intensity of the deformation of the pipe wall during profiling by drawing was studied. The dependence of the strain intensity on the wall thickness of the workpiece is obtained to predict the processing results in the production of shaped pipes with desired properties. Keywords drawing, profile pipe, wall thickness, strain rate. [email protected]

MODELING OF THE ELASTIC-VISCOPLASTIC BEHAVIOR OF REINFORCED PLATES WITHIN THE REFINED BENDING THEORY

The dynamic problem of elastic-viscoplastic deformation of flexible plates with spatial reinforcement structures is formulated. The plastic behavior of the components of the composition is described by equations of flow theory with isotropic hardening, taking into account the sensitivity of these materials to the rate of their deformation. The geometric nonlinearity of the problem is taken into account in the Karman approximation. The relations used, with varying degrees of accuracy, describe the mechanical state of the bent plates and allow for the possible weakened resistance of the reinforced constructions to transverse shears. In a first approximation, the equations used, the boundary and initial conditions are reduced to the equalities of the widely used non-classical Reddy theory. To solve the stated nonlinear initial-boundary-value problem, a step-by-step algorithm is used, based on the use of an explicit numerical of the “cross” type scheme. The elastic-viscoplastic dynamic behavior of rectangular composite plates of different relative thicknesses under the action of a load corresponding to excess pressure in an air blast wave is investigated. Fiberglass-plastic and metal composite structures are considered. It is shown that for composite plates with a relative thickness of the order of 0.1, the calculation by the Reddy theory underestimates the maximum values of the strain intensity of the components of the composition by more than 12% compared with the calculation by the refined theory. A fairly simple Reddy theory is quite acceptable for calculating relatively thin plates. It is shown that for fiberglass-plastic plates with a relative thickness of the order of 0.1, replacing the traditional plane-cross reinforcement structure with the spatial structure of the reinforcement reduces the maximum deflection by more than 20%, and the greatest value of the strain intensity of the components of the composition is reduced by 10-20% or more. For metal-composite plates of any thickness and for fiberglass-plastic plates having a small relative thickness, the positive effect of from such a replacement of the reinforcement structures is practically not observed.
