Elastic Moduli of Some Eutectic Alloy Systems

Canonical elastic moduli

Every linear planar anisotropic elastic material is equivalent, under a linear change of coordinates, to an orthotropic material. Consequently, up to linear changes of variables, there are just two "canonical" planar elastic moduli which determine the properties of any linearly elastic material. Extensions to three-dimensional elasticity and applications are indicated.

Elastic Moduli of Precompressed Pyrophyllite

Chao and Ruoff [*] have shown previously that by precompressing pyrophyllite prior to its use in high-pressure applications, one obtains a material which has a uniform density and uniform mechanical properties. We have recently studied the propagation of u trasonir nplIse~ in pyrnphyllit.p specimens to investigate the effect of specimen precompression on the.measured elastic moduli. Measurement...

Critical temperature of the lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) alloy

Liquid metals such as Bi and Pb and Pb–Bi eutectic alloy are serious contenders for use as coolant in LMFBRs in lieu of sodium due to a number of attractive characteristics (high density, low moderation, low neutron absorption and activation, high boiling point and poor interaction with water and air, etc.). Analysis of hypothetical accidents is of relevance to predict the catastrophe involving...
