A remarkable area formed around the nonmetallic inclusion inside the fish-eye region on the fracture surface, which is a feature on the fracture surface in super long fatigue. This so-called GBF (granular-bright-facet) was observed in detail by a scanning probe microscope and a three-dimensional SEM. The GBF area, in which a rich carbide distribution was detected by EPMA, revealed a very rough and granular morphology in comparison with the area inside the fish-eye. It was clearly simulated by FRASTA that multiple microcracks were initiated and dispersed by the decohesion of a spherical carbide from the matrix around a nonmetallic inclusion, and converged into the GBF area during the fatigue process. After the formation of the GBF area, interior cracks grew radially and a fish-eye pattern formed on the fracture surface.","PeriodicalId":170519,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series A-solid Mechanics and Material Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133569112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unit lattices of Ni and Ni3Al, fcc and L12 ordered alloy, are subjected to the [001] uniaxial tension/compression and hydrostatic tension/compression by using the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and ultrasoft pseudopotential. The elastic stiffness matrix is numerically evaluated at each point in the applied deformation pass, then the lattice stability is discussed based on the positiveness of the matrix. Both Ni and Ni3Al reach the Born’s stability criteria against the bifurcation to the anisotropic Poisson’s contraction in the [001] uniaxial tension, while they do the spinodal criteria against the structural transformation in the [001] uniaxial compression and hydrostatic tension. The hydrostatic compression increases the stability and shows no limit, however, it is also suggested that the spinodal instability appears when the ideal isotropy was broken. The “ideal strength” is evaluated with these stability limits and indicated as “yield curve” on the normal strain-lateral strain or normal stress-lateral stress planes.","PeriodicalId":170519,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series A-solid Mechanics and Material Engineering","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133723115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The salt containing weight ratio of 22.2 Ti : 1 B has the most refining effect on the purity aluminum with the finest structure and the best mechanical properties, meanwhile it also possesses the advantages of short reacting time (within 5 minutes) and long fading time (more than 20 hours). The refining effect of the salt increases with the content of Ti and B in the melting and the refining mechanism is mainly contributed to the heterogeneous nuclei of more fine TiAl3 particles dispersed in the melting, which come from the reaction between the salt and aluminum. Purity B contained salt has little or no directly refining effect, However, B contained salt has indirect refining effect on the purity aluminum when it is added simultaneously with Ti contained salt, this may be due to that the dispersive and fine boride (TiB2) could be taken as the heterogeneous nuclei for TiAl3 particle, and then prevents the coarsening of the TiAl3 particle.","PeriodicalId":170519,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series A-solid Mechanics and Material Engineering","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126491567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Next, by calculating displacement in the myocardial wall, paradoxical movements following CABG were quantitatively evaluated. Strain analysis showed local decreases in circumferential strain in 4 of 7 subjects. The results of displacement analysis clarified that following CABG, the degree of radial displacement was small in the septal wall and large in the lateral wall, and circumferential displacement towards the septal wall occurred in the anterior and posterior walls. Since this behavior was seen in both reduced and normal cardiac contractility groups, paradoxical movements in the present patients were not caused by reduced cardiac contractility, but rather by rigid-body motion of the entire heart.","PeriodicalId":170519,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series A-solid Mechanics and Material Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114769790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wood powder was produced by milling wood into powder under conditions of different temperatures (25◦C, 100◦C) and moisture contents (0%MC, about 30%MC). Molding materials were produced from wood powder in stream atmosphere of high temperature and high pressure (175◦C, 900 kPa) using self-bonding ability of the wood powder. Adhesives, such as a synthetic resin, were not used. To evaluate the bending properties of the molding materials, the modulus of elasticity and the bending strength were examined by static three-point bending test. As for the characteristic of wood particle, in case of wood particle produced by milling wood under a condition of high temperature and high moisture content (100◦C and about 30%MC), tendencies for intercellular layer to be exposed on surface of a particle and for the aspect ratio of particles to be large were confirmed. And in that case, the molding material showed the highest value in modulus of elasticity and bending strength. It is highly probable that the inprovement of the self-bonding ability of wood powder and the increase of the aspect ratio of wood particle take part in the improvement of strength properties of molding material.","PeriodicalId":170519,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series A-solid Mechanics and Material Engineering","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124822841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The numerical analysis is conducted for the 4PB of 10mm diameter with various root gaps from 0.05 to 3.0mm and various apparent fillet widths from 1.0 to 4.0mm. The nominal rupture strain is obtained by the comparison of von Mises’ equivalent stress of the fillet and the pipes with their maximum tensile stress. The results show that the fracture of the 4PD specimens always occurs at the fillet. The nominal rupture strain tends to have weak correlation with the root gap, but in positive proportion to the apparent fillet width.","PeriodicalId":170519,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series A-solid Mechanics and Material Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117077038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The foils and the metal are heated to heighten the bondability because of the reduction of flow stress. Lining the metal with the hard powder sandwiched between two aluminum foil sheets was also attempted. In this experiment, a centrifugal shot peening machine wite an electrical heater was employed. The metals are commercially aluminium alloys and magnesium alloys, and the foils are commercially aluminum, titanium and nickel.
