Moreover, {0001} α α and {001} β β textures also contribute to the reduction of elastic modulus of the alloy.

The 8 most rational variants of optimizing calculations are proposed, which make it possible to reveal the most reliable values of some TiN parameters. At the same time, the minimum and maximum values of θD and αV were used from literary sources, as well as the least contradictory data on isobaric heat capacity Cp, melting temperature Tm.p and density d of TiN. To improve the calculated results, the values of θD(TiN) determined using the methods of Magnus ‒ Lindeman and Debye were also used. The Mayer’s relation was the basic test expression.

This made it possible to distinguish the least and most reliable values of αV and θD, as well as make a refinement correction for the last value. As a result, it was found that under standard conditions, the value of θD(TiN) close to the optimal should be within 746‒769 K, and for its isochoric heat capacity CV ‒ in the range 36.55‒37.19 J/(mol×K).

For the first time we demonstrate herein that the stress-stretch curves obtained from specimens under physiological rates too are markedly different to those at sufficiently lower rates and at quasi-static conditions. The results importantly underline that the mechanical behaviour of semilunar heart valves is rate dependent, and the physiological mechanical behaviour of the valves may not be correctly obtained via material characterisation tests at arbitrary low deformation rates. Presented results in this work provide an inclusive dataset for material characterisation and modelling of semilunar heart valves across a 10,000 fold deformation rate, both under equi-biaxial and 1:3 ratio deformation rates. The important application of these results is to inform the development of appropriate mechanical testing protocols, as well as devising new models, for suitable determination of the rate-dependent constitutive mechanical behaviour of the semilunar valves.","PeriodicalId":180833,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Properties & Deformation of Materials eJournal","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134244667","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}

Three types of residual stress distribution were observed. The first type was a low stress state from the as-received sample; the second type was a compressive stress state increasing from the surface to the interface with a discontinuous \"jump feature\" in the trend near the interface; the third type of residual stress distribution has two \"jump\" features in the trend, one was observed near the sample surface and the other near the interface. To understand the double \"jump\" features in the third kind of trend, the 3D microstructures of the measured samples were systematically measured X-ray μ-CT. Vertical cracks and edge cracks were observed. We have shown by image based modelling that the vertical cracks do not have a large effect on the residual stress distribution and that edge cracks are related to the \"jump features\" near the sample surface. The edge crack can be observed in all the measured samples with the third kind of the residual stress trend; and the measured samples with the second kind of the residual stress trend are crack free. The relationship between the middle and the through edge cracks and the residual stress distribution was also investigated by image based modelling. It was found that the middle crack can also cause a \"jump feature\" near the sample surface while the through edge crack seems to not have a large effect on the residual stress distribution. A semi-destructive method was developed to determine the existence and the position of horizontal cracks in the APS TBC samples based on the above findings.","PeriodicalId":180833,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Properties & Deformation of Materials eJournal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133602715","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 structure consists of soft Ta-enriched regions and hard Ti-enriched regions in a hierarchical and laminated fashion. The microstructural heterogeneity spans several scales due to the diffusion between Ti and Ta. This yields a novel metal-metal composite with a balanced combination of strength and ductility (1226 MPa ultimate tensile strength and 20.8% elongation), outperforming most of conventional Ti based alloys and composites.

Here, we revealed the principles for regulating both the elastic and plastic behaviors by composition modification and Mo addition in an fcc-phase quaternary CoCrFeNi system with the assistance of ab initio and thermodynamics calculations. An increase in Co content and a decrease in Fe and Ni contents reduced the fcc phase stability and SFE, but enhanced the elastic modulus, anisotropy, and lattice friction stress. A minor substitution of Co by Mo increased the lattice constant, but decreased the SFE and elastic modulus. Based on these findings, we developed a series of strong and ductile metastable fcc-phase CoxCr25(FeNi)70-xMo5 (x = 30, 40, 50) HEAs with mechanical properties superior to those of the CoCrFeNi HEAs. The careful investigation revealed that the enhanced mechanical properties are due to the Mo-addition-induced strengthening accompanied with a low-SFE-induced restriction of planar behavior of dislocations, mechanical twinning, and strain-induced martensitic transformation. The findings shed light on the development of high-performance HEAs.","PeriodicalId":180833,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Properties & Deformation of Materials eJournal","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123648244","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}
