In-situ dendrite/metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs) with a composition of Ti₄₆Zr₂₀V₁₂Cu₅Be₁₇ exhibit ultimate tensile strength of 1510 MPa and fracture strain of about 7.6%. A tensile deformation model is established, based on the five-stage classification: (1) elastic-elastic, (2) elastic-plastic, (3) plastic-plastic (yield platform), (4) plastic-plastic (work hardening), and (5) plastic...

With regard to previous tensile deformation models simulating the tensile behavior of in-situ dendrite-reinforced metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs) [Qiao et al., Acta Mater. 59 (2011) 4126; Sci. Rep. 3 (2013) 2816], some parameters, such as yielding strength of the dendrites and glass matrix, and the strain-hardening exponent of the dendrites, are estimated based on literatures. Here, Ti...

Recent investigations of the three-dimensional (3D) binocular eye positions in near vision have shown that a full characterization of vergence requires incorporation of its torsional component. The latter has a proportional relationship with horizontal vergence and elevation, causing the eyes to have intorsion in near upgaze but extorsion in near downgaze. In this study, we focus on the dynamic...

In this work, the plane-on-plane torsional fretting tribological behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was studied. A model of a rigid, flat-ended punch acting on an elastic half-space was built according to the experimental conditions. The results indicate that the shape of T-θ curves was influenced by both the torsional angle and the normal load. The torsion friction torque and wear rate...

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in concrete manufacturing is considered as financial, technical and environmental benefit. In this regard, this paper presents the experimental and analytical study of high strength concrete (HSC) with alccofine-1203 (alccofine) and fly ash as partial replacements to cement. A total of seven mixes were prepared with different percentages of...

The tension in an anterior cruciate ligament graft may not be normal when the femoral tunnel is placed using the single-incision arthroscopic technique because the femoral tunnel is drilled through the tibial tunnel. We hypothesized that the in vivo tensile behavior of the double-looped semitendinosus and gracilis tendon graft can be normal or abnormal compared with the native anterior cruciate...

in this research, softening and ratcheting behaviors of ck20 alloy steel cylindrical shells were studied under displacement-control and force-control cyclic axial loading and the behavior of hysteresis curves of specimens was also investigated. experimental tests were performed by a servo-hydraulic instron 8802 machine. the mechanical properties of specimens were determined according to astm e8...

A new method for the measurement of tibial torsion using computerised transverse tomography is presented. Its accuracy is equal to that of cadaveric skeletal measurement. This method may be used in patients with unilateral post-traumatic torsional deformities, especially when these are combined with genu varum or valgum. The study of torsional aberrations in connection with congenital abnormali...
