By thermally cycling through their transformation temperature range, coarse-grained polymorphic materials can be deformed superplastically, owing to the emergence of transformation mismatch plasticity (or transformation superplasticity) as a deformation mechanism. This mechanism is presently investigated under biaxial stress conditions during thermal cycling of unalloyed titanium, Ti-6Al-4V, an...

We present a method for measuring absorption at the 1 x 10(-5) cm(-1) level in high-quality optical materials. Using a Shack-Hartmann wave-front detector, thermal lensing in these materials may be measured. Then, the absorption coefficient may be estimated by fitting the observed deformation to a thermal lensing model based on the temperature dependences of the refractive index and the thermal ...

One of the great enemies of rubber compounds is heat. Heat will cause chemical and physical degradation of vulcanized rubber as well as a considerable loss in its strength. A major source of heat generation in a tire is due to internal friction resulting from the viscoelastic deformation of the tire as it rolls along the road. Another source of heat generation in a tire is due to its contact fr...

そこで本研究では、FFD の格子を自動生成し、オリジ ナルの FFD の柔軟性を保ちつつ、ユーザによる 3 次元 モデルの変形を支援する手法を提案する。我々の手法 は、まずモデルのバウンディングボックスを生成し、 それを初期格子とする。その初期格子から階層的に新 たな格子を生成することで、多重解像度格子という格 子集合を作り出し、ユーザがその中から目的に沿った 適切な格子、すなわち大域的な変形のための少数の制 御点を持つ格子や、局所的な変形のための変形対象領 域の形状をよく近似する格子を選択できるようにする。 さらに、変形前の格子だけでなく、ユーザによって変 形された格子から新たな格子の生成を行うことで、階 層的変形を行うことができる。階層的変形を用いるこ とで、格子をバウンディングボックスから再定義する ことなく、大域的な変形から局所的な変形、またはそ の逆といったようにモデルを階...

Original information on local thermal expansion can be obtained through a cumulant analysis of EXAFS. The different sensitivity to correlation of the first and third EXAFS cumulants, and their comparison with crystallographic distance, can help in disentangling the contribution of potential anharmonicity to thermal expansion from geometrical effects. These possibilities are illustrated by recen...

The position error of a feed drive system is mostly caused by thermal deformation of a ball screw shaft. A high-speed ball screw system can generate massive heat with greater thermal expansion produced, and consequently have a negative effect on the positioning accuracy. In this study, we applied the computational approach using the finite element method (FEM) to simulate the thermal expansion ...

One of the most important issues whether anisotropic conductive film (ACF) interconnection technology is suitable to be used for flip chip on organic board applications is thermal cycling reliability. In this study, thermally induced deformations and warpages of ACF flip chip assemblies as a function of distance from neutral point (DNP) and ACF materials properties were investigated using in si...

in this paper, thermo-elastic analysis of a rotating thick truncated conical shell subjected to the temperature gradient, internal pressure and external pressure is presented. given the existence of shear stress in the conical shell due to thickness change along the axial direction, the governing equations are obtained based on first-order shear deformation theory (fsdt). these equations are so...
