In the present research, in contrast to the available papers, not only the superelasticity but also the shape memory effects are taken into account in determination of the impact responses. At the same time, in addition to modifying Brinson’s model for the shape memory alloys (SMAs), to include new parameters and loading events, and Hertz contact law, distributions of the SMA phases are conside...

This study deals with magnetic Barkhausen noise emission produced by strain-induced martensite generated during shot peening of austenitic AISI 304 stainless steel. The transformation from the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic state and corresponding birth domain structure are important respect irreversible motion walls emission. is investigated explained residual stress as well microstructure expr...

Of particular importance and interest are the effects of pulsed Nd:YAG laser beam welding parameters on penetration and microstructure characterization of DP1000 butt joint, which is widely used in the automotive industry nowadays. Some key experimental technologies including pre-welding sample preparation and optimization design of sample fixture for a sufficient shielding gas flow are perform...

The martensite steels produced by quenching and tempering has been used for machine structural use. Martensite in ferrite-martensite dual-phase steels (hereinafter, DP steels) also has important roll in strengthening of the automobile steel sheets. Therefore the importance of analyzing the microstructure and their mechanical properties of the martensite has been increased year by year. Many res...

in the present research mixed convection flow through a copper-water nanofluid in a driven cavity in the presence of magnetic field is investigated numerically. the cavity is heated from top and cooled from bottom while its two vertical walls are insulated. the governing equations including continuity, n-s and energy equations are solved over a staggered grid system. the study is conducted for ...

In the present study, natural convective heat transfer in a partitioned square cavity utilizing nanofluids is studied. The vertical left and right walls are considered as the hot and cold walls, respectively and the partitions assumed to be adiabatic. The nanofluid used in this study is Al2O3 with the volume fraction of 20%. It is assumed that nanofluid is a single phase f...

In this paper a numerical investigation is performed to study the effects of different nanofluids on convective heat transfer enhancement in a partitioned square cavity subject to different shapes of nanoparticle using water-SiO2 nanofluid. This study has been carried out to analyze the effects of SiO2 nanoparticle, its volumetric fraction between 2 and 4%, and nanoparticle shape (i.e. blades, ...

Effect of carbon and Ti on 7-s martensitic transformation behavior and damping capacity has been investigated in an Fe-17Mn alloy. The suppressive force of carbon against 7-s transformation increases linearly with an increase in carbon content, lowering M, temperature and volume fraction of s martensite. Carbon deteriorates damping capacity by reducing the area of y l e interfaces and by decrea...
