Experiments were carried out in which the dependence of the fractional softening on temperature, time and strain rate was determined in a 304H stainless steel. Three prestrain ranges were identified pertaining to three different post-deformation softening behaviors: 1) prestraining to below the DRX critical strain: strongly strain dependent softening by SRX alone with softening kinetics control...

We present a comprehensive computational analysis of the deformation of ultrafine crystalline pure Cu with nanoscale growth twins. This physically motivated model benefits from our experimental studies of the effects of the density of coherent nanotwins on the plastic deformation characteristics of Cu, and from post-deformation transmission electron microscopy investigations of dislocation stru...

Edaravone, an effective free radical scavenger, can alleviate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. The speckle tracking imaging (STI) could precisely and objectively evaluate the global and regional myocardial deformation. The aim of our study was to assess the protective effect of edaravone postconditioning on IRI in rabbits by ...

The role of microstructure on hot deformation behavior of sintered Cu-28Zn prealloyed powder compacts was investigated by a series of isothermal hot compression tests in the temperature range of 550- 850°C at strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 0.5 s-1, by taking into consideration the Hyperbolic Sine functional behavior to analyze the deformation behavior of the alloy. The results indicate th...

The deformation behavior of homogenized Al-7.5Zn-1.5Mg-0.2Cu-0.2Zr alloy has been studied by a set of isothermal hot compression tests, which were carried out over the temperature ranging from 350 °C to 450 °C and the strain rate ranging from 0.001 s-1 to 10 s-1 on Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation machine. The associated microstructure was studied using electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD)...

Stress relaxation experiments are reported that culminate in energetic failure in rocks analogous to the loading cycle and subsequent localization or reactivation on brittle faults embedded in an elastic medium. Universally, rapid primary deformation arrests and transitions into a long secondary deformation phase that ultimately accelerates to catastrophic rupture. Primary deformation (u) confo...

While elastoplasticity theories at small deformations are well established for various materials, elastoplasticity theories at large deformations are still a subject of controversy and lively discussions. Among the approaches to finite elastoplasticity two became especially popular. The first, implemented in the commercial finite element codes, is based on the introduction of a hypoelastic cons...
