Creep has been identified as one of the main degradation mechanisms of PTs, which are made widely of Zr-Nb alloys. The creep curve of a material gives an insight into the nature of its creep behavior. In the present investigation, accelerated creep experiments were conducted on Zr-2.5Nb PT alloy in the stress and temperature range of 22–58 MPa and 600–850 °C, respectively. Two data-driven models, namely Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) and Least Square Fit (LSF) were developed to simulate the non-linearity of the creep curves. Applied stress, test temperature, and time to failure were taken as the input parameters for the models. It was observed that although the LSF could predict the primary creep zone, it failed to predict the transition between the secondary and tertiary creep region. However, the creep curves predicted by the RBFNN model were in close agreement with the experimental results, having a confidence level of ≈ 0.99. Two separate sets of creep experiments were also done later to verify the accuracy of the proposed models. The results from the study established the ability of the RBFNN technique to simulate the complex behavior of the creep curves.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":698,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials","volume":"28 4","pages":"2963 - 2980"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141115471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the proposed sandwich nanoplate, an auxetic core layer with a negative Poisson’s ratio made of Ti-6Al-4V is sandwiched between Ti-6Al-4V rim layers and magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) face layers. The MEE face layers are homogenous volumetric mixtures of cobalt ferrite (CoFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) and barium titanate (BaTiO<sub>3</sub>). The mechanical and thermal material properties of the auxetic core and MEE face layers are temperature-dependent. Using Hamilton’s principle, governing equations are constructed. To characterize the size-dependent behavior of the nanoplate, governing equations are adapted with the nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT). By applying the principles of Navier’s technique, closed-form solutions are obtained. Parametric simulations are carried out to examine the effects of auxetic core parameters, temperature-dependent material properties, nonlocal parameters, electric, magnetic, and thermal loads on the free vibration and thermal buckling behavior of the nanoplate. According to the simulation results, it is determined that the auxetic core parameters, temperature-dependent material properties, and nonlocal factors significantly affect the thermomechanical behavior of the nanoplate. The outcomes of this investigation are expected to contribute to the advancement of smart nano-electromechanical systems, transducers, and nanosensors characterized by lightweight, exceptional structural integrity and temperature sensitivity.

Its mechanical properties have garnered increased attention for their potential to guide human protection strategies against collisions and explosions.

In the present study, rabbit lung tissues were subjected to directional compression loadings, both parallel and perpendicular to the trachea. For accurate dynamic measurements, a modified Hopkinson pressure bar was employed. To minimize spike-like stress characteristics, annular specimens were utilized, and a polymethyl methacrylate bar served as the transmission tube, in conjunction with semiconductor strain gauges, to enhance the amplification of transmission signals. Experiments were meticulously conducted using the modified split Hopkinson pressure bar and an Instron machine, covering a strain rate range of 0.0005–3000 s<sup>−1</sup>. The results revealed a pronounced rate-dependence in the stress–strain curves of lung tissue, characterized by an initial linear elastic regime, a deformation plateau, and ultimate densification. A significant dependency on strain rate was observed, with the strength of tissue increasing a thousandfold from quasi-static to dynamic loading. Anisotropic behavior was evident under both loading directions. Furthermore, both strain rate dependency and anisotropic behavior became more pronounced beyond 0.3 strain under dynamic loading and 0.45 under quasi-static loading. Finally, potential mechanisms involving tissue fluid discharge and the mechanical characteristics of orientated collagen were proposed. These mechanisms were corroborated by staining techniques that demonstrated the predominant orientation of collagen in a specific direction within rabbit lung tissue.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":698,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials","volume":"28 4","pages":"2921 - 2936"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140659383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
