the creep behavior of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy (bfre) and glass fiber reinforced epoxy (gfre) composites was studied through tensile testing at high temperature. to study the effect of reinforcing epoxy, the micro glass powder (mgp) was added at various volume percentage into the epoxy resin in bfre composites. the initial strain for all the specimens were evaluated and compared with each ...

The autonomous repair mechanism of creep cavitation during high-temperature deformation has been investigated in Fe-Au and Fe-Au-B-N alloys. Combined electron-microscopy techniques and atom probe tomography reveal how the improved creep properties result from Au precipitation within the creep cavities, preferentially formed on grain boundaries oriented perpendicular to the applied stress. The s...

4 constitutive equation for unstimulated muscle based on nonlinear elastic and linear damping elements is proposed. This equation is solved in closed form to predict creep and stress relaxation in passive muscle and. if combined with an active contractile element in a three-element model. initial response to a sudden change in length or force during an isometric twitch. A stress relaxation expe...

A two-dimensional earthquake model that consists of a single block resting upon a slowly moving rough surface and connected by two springs to rigid supports is studied. Depending on the elastic anisotropy and the friction force three generic regimes are possible: i) pure creep; ii) pure stick-slip motion; and iii) a mixed regime. In all cases the long-time dynamics (fixed point, periodic orbit ...

Abstract: Piezoelectric actuators are widely used in micromanipulation tasks such as atomic force microscopy and cell manipulation. However, the hysteresis nonlinearity and the creep reduce their fidelity and cause difficulties in the micromanipulation control procedure. Besides, variation of temperature and external loads could change the model parameters identified for the piezo actu-ator. In...

A physical model has been developed for simultaneous precipitation reactions in austenitic stainless steels, taking into account interactions between phases. Comparisons against experimental results show satisfying agreement, with the model successfully predicting the existence of transient phases that are often observed, but not predicted in equilibrium calculations. An analysis of σ -phase ki...

The Steady state creep behaviour of a functionally graded cylinder made of isotropic composite containing varying distribution of silicon carbide particles has been investigated by a mathematical model. The creep behaviour of the FGM is described by a Norton's Power law. The effect of varying distribution of SiCP particles of creep stresses and creep rates in the FGM cylinder has been anal...

We present experimental evidence that pressure solution creep does not establish a steady-state interface microstructure as previously thought. Conversely, pressure solution controlled strain and the characteristic length scale of interface microstructures grow as the cubic root of time. Transient creep with the same scaling is known in metallurgy (Andrade creep). The apparent universal scaling...
