In this study, CoCrFeMnNiW medium-entropy alloy coating on Q235 was fabricated by plasma surfacing technology. The wear performance of the prepared one-layer and two-layer studied a friction abrasion tester. microstructure were researched optical microscope, nano-indentation test, SEM, hardness results show that is made up fusion zone, equiaxed dendrites near coarse columnar crystals, near-surf...

The present study demonstrates the evolution of eutectic microstructure in arc-melted (Zr0.76Fe0.24)100-xNbx (0 ≤ x ≤ 10 atom %) composites containing α-Zr//FeZr₂ nano-lamellae phases along with pro-eutectic Zr-rich intermetallic phase. The effects of Nb addition on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties under compression, bulk hardness, elastic modulus, and indentation fractur...

In this study, magnesium composites with nano-size boron nitride (BN) particulates of varying contents were synthesized using the powder metallurgy (PM) technique incorporating microwave-assisted two-directional sintering followed by hot extrusion. The effect of nano-BN addition on the microstructural and the mechanical behavior of the developed Mg/BN composites were studied in comparison with ...

Abstract Recently, graphene oxide (GO) is one of the nanomaterials that enhance performance cement-based materials. In this paper, effects different mass GO on workability and mechanical properties UHPC studied, its mechanism explored by micro-nano analysis methods such as XRD, SEM, MIP nano indentation. The results show that, compared with reference group, 0.04% addition reduces fluidity UHPC,...

Articular cartilage plays an important role in the function of diarthrodial joints. Computational methods have been used to study the biphasic mechanics of cartilage, and Abaqus has been one of the most widely used commercial software packages for this purpose. A newly developed open-source finite element solver, FEBio, has been developed specifically for biomechanical applications. The aim of ...

The aim of this paper is to show that damage mechanisms can account for the response of lamellar bone to nanoindentation tests, with particular regards to the decrease of indentation stiffness with increasing penetration depth and to the loss of contact stiffness during the unloading phase of the test. For this purpose, indentation experiments on bovine cortical bone samples along axial and tra...

The application of the concept of the representative strain is often used in the stress-strain curve determination from indentation test because it can significantly simplify the analysis of the indentation response. A new methodology for determining the representative strain for Vickers indentation is presented in this article. Following a procedure based on finite element simulations of inden...

In this work, a systematic study of the viscoelastic properties of hydrogels based on polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA) is presented. In addition to artificial PEG-DA-based hydrogels, natural hydrogels in the form of human articular cartilage were examined. Specimens were (unconfined) compression tested under static and dynamic load. Besides this, instrumented indentation tests with diffe...
