Memristor materials are used for neuromorphic computation which promises to decrease energy consumption and improve the efficiency of important computational tasks, such as perception and decision making. In our study, first, the atomistic model of HfO2 is built on a monoclinic lattice structure. Then, tensile tests have been carried out to study its mechanical behaviour. Since the material has non-symmetric crystal structure, we observe varied tensile properties along the x, y and z directions. In addition, the effects of electrical field on mechanical behaviour are studied by varying the electrical field intensity from 0 to 0.3 v/A gradually. For each case, atomistic snapshots are taken to identify the changes occur in the structure due to the electric field. A significant structural damage on the crystal structure of HfO2 is observed after applying 0.3 v/A electric field, whereas the structural change is insignificant when the magnitude of the electric field is 0.2 v/A or less. To understand more about the damage of this material, shear loads are applied in different directions and their responses are studied elaborately in this paper.","PeriodicalId":39426,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Surface Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42211337","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}

Input-output mapping of results was also done by stochastic modelling tool, the artificial neural network (ANN) and later the process parameter was optimised with genetic algorithm (GA). It is found that the prediction accuracy of ANN model was twice accurate than that of RSM.

High quality optical silicon components (Ra less than 8 nm) requires appropriate choice of ductile regime machining cutting conditions that can improve surface roughness and facilitate accurate prediction. To achieve this, three factors, i.e., feed rate, rake angle and nose radius were varied while keeping cutting speed, depth of cut and clearance angle constant. An MD study of the experiment was also carried out for comparison. The result obtained showed that; BBD standard runs 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 with Ra values between 1.8 and 7 nm are of high form accuracy and satisfied the basic requirement of Ra over the entire IR region for silicon.

The effects of deformation parameters, including deformation temperature, strain rate, initial grain size and inter-pass time, on MDRX softening fraction were analysed. The experimental results show that MDRX softening fraction increases with the increase of deformation temperature, strain rate and inter-pass time, while it decreases with the increase of initial grain size. Based on the experimental results, the kinetic model of MDRX for the tested steel was established. A good agreement between the experimental and predicted MDRX softening fraction indicates that the established kinetic model can precisely predict the MDRX softening fraction for the tested steel.","PeriodicalId":39426,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Surface Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48863077","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}

CNC turning centre is employed for roller burnishing. The surface quality is measured in terms of surface roughness and hardness against the function of three different turning parameters namely spindle speed, feed rate and depth of penetration. The average hardness of cryogenic treated rollers is increased from 380 Hv0.5 to 625 Hv0.5. The results revealed that increasing the spindle speed significantly affected the surface finish and increase in roller penetration depth increases the hardness of AISI 1211 steel surfaces. Cryogenic treated rollers provide better surface finish and hardness on the AISI 1211 steel samples than untreated rollers.","PeriodicalId":39426,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Surface Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43380092","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}

Based on the simulation output, a regression equation is developed to estimate the maximum temperature as a function of the laser process parameters and sheet thickness. Once the regression equation is obtained, the same is recast to obtain limiting values of process parameters that may be applied such that the maximum temperature exceeds or remains below a specified maximum temperature or the melting temperature of the specimen.","PeriodicalId":39426,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Surface Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46251667","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}

In this process, no chip comes out, the displaced material in the region of hole thus made, forms a bushing by a conical friction drilling tool. During the process of producing holes in the sheet metal, severe plastic deformation of workpiece material occurs and eventually, the temperature distribution in tool and workpiece is very high. Hence, simulation of the process is necessary to predict the direction of material flow and high temperature distribution which are challenging to measure by experimentation alone. The objective of this work is to numerically analyse the pattern of bush formation in thin sheet metal of galvanised steel during the process and to predict the temperature distribution, axial force, and torque in the work piece. Validation shows high degree of agreement between the numerical results and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":39426,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Surface Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45171016","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}

Al substrates are oversaturated, and the solid solubility decreases due to increased annealing temperature. Si particles precipitate from the Al matrix. The mechanical properties of the sample are predominantly governed by the Si particle size. The addition of a small amount of (0.1 wt.%) WC results in tensile strength of 515 MPa in the as-deposited specimen, in comparison with other papers, it was found that significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of the specimen.
