The second- and third-order elastic constants of TbNiAl are considered using the potential model. The pressure-dependent higher-order elastic constants are studied, and it is observed that the elastic constants of the TbNiAl compound increased monotonously with pressure. The hexagonal TbNiAl compound is mechanically stable up to the pressure 20 GPa according to the Born elastic stability criteria. The Voigt–Reuss–Hill approach is used to compute such elastic parameters as Young’s modulus, bulk modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and shear modulus in the pressure range 0–45 GPa. Hardness, melting temperature, and anisotropy are also determined for the intermetallic TbNiAl compound. The pressure-dependent velocities and attenuation of ultrasonic waves in this ternary compound are evaluated. The computation results are also satisfactory in estimating the Debye temperature and thermal conductivity <i>K</i><sub>min</sub> under different pressure. It is observed that TbNiAl has a significant anisotropy at zero pressure, which becomes stronger as the pressure increased. This ternary compound behaves as its purest form at higher pressure and is more ductile, which is demonstrated by the minimum attenuation.</p>","PeriodicalId":726,"journal":{"name":"Physical Mesomechanics","volume":"26 5","pages":"495 - 504"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41228819","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}

These processes in the regional lithosphere were described by a set of 11 geological and geophysical parameters, divided into three main groups using the hierarchical method of cluster analysis. The first group includes the seismic moment, the density of active faults, the recent horizontal strain rates, and the magnitude of the deep heat flow. The second group involves the thicknesses of the earth’s crust and exogenously active layer, the recent horizontal crustal velocities, and the amplitudes of vertical neotectonic movements. The third group includes gravity anomalies and the lithospheric thickness. The spatial grouping of the parameters by cluster analysis (K-means method) yields seven clusters, whose spatial position and composition are determined by the geological history, geological structure, geodynamic evolution of the region, and the recent strain rates. Some clusters characterize large rigid lithospheric blocks, while other clusters describe large active fault systems in the studied region. The search for latent factors that make the greatest contribution to the dispersion of the geological and geophysical parameter values was carried out using the principal component method, which allows minimizing the number of factors. Four main factors were identified for areas that differ in the morphology and origin of neotectonic structures: (i) higher horizontal compressive and tensile strains, (ii) dynamic effect of mantle anomalies, manifested in uplifts and doming, (iii) activation of thinned lithosphere within the boundaries of lithospheric plates or large blocks, and (iv) active shear deformation of the earth’s crust.

The parameter controlled in the simulation is the width of coating delamination zones formed in indentation experiments at a constant indentation depth. The conditions of adhesive contact are specified using the CZM bilinear law, which describes the relation between the tangential adhesive stress and the adhesive bond elongation under shear in the contact plane of interacting surfaces. The criterion of quantitative adhesion strength assessment is the ultimate specific surface energy of adhesive failure.

Multicomponent brasses demonstrate lower residual porosity, associated with a lower grain size and more effective accommodation of grain boundary sliding. In this paper, the microstructural evolution of the surface and bulk structure of the binary brass and aluminum-bearing brass during steady-state superplastic deformation is compared. After superplastic deformation, dislocation pile-ups and dislocation walls are revealed in the α grains of both alloys, indicating the activation of the dislocation slip/creep mechanism. It is shown that aluminum reduces the contribution of grain boundary sliding along the phase boundaries from ~75 to ~30% and causes strain localization in the β-phase region with the formation of ultrafine grains with the size below ~300 nm as a result of dynamic recrystallization. Alloying with 0.4% Al reduces the flow stress by 20%, increases the relative elongation by a factor of 1.5, and decreases the fraction of residual porosity by a factor of 3.

Unlike the basic theory, the refined approach utilizes an improved algorithm for the regular stress component computation. This improvement allows extending the engineering theory to longer cracks. The two-parameter Leonov–Panasyuk–Dugdale fracture criterion serves as a basis. A coupled fracture criterion includes a strain-based criterion, which is formulated at the tip of the true crack, as well as a stress-based criterion, formulated at the tip of the fictitious crack. Based on the refined criterion, quasi-brittle fracture curves are constructed for a compact specimen, a strip with an edge crack, and a four-point bending beam. To validate the new refined fracture criterion, we present simulation results of quasi-brittle fracture for structures made from various virtual materials. The corresponding virtual materials are modeled using a nonlocal damage theory accounting for the average size of the aggregate state of the material. Additionally, various classes of damage accumulation hypotheses are considered. Analysis of various types of virtual materials provides insights into the impact of hypotheses behind the engineering theory.
