Precipitation hardened Copper-Chromium-Zirconium (CuCrZr) alloy is a prime candidate for divertor components in future European DEMOnstration (DEMO) fusion reactors. To develop the DEMO Design Criteria In-vessel Components (DDC-IC), failure criterion of CuCrZr needs to be investigated. Hence, effects stress triaxiality and loading strain rate on fracture solution heat treated annealed alloys we...

objectives in this study, besides studying the rv function in ssc patients, attempts have been made to find a new possible noninvasive echocardiographic test for early diagnosis of systolic failure as a pah complication. methods 30 patients with at least a 2-year history of diffuse ssc confirmed by an expert rheumatologist were enrolled in this study. all the patients underwent transthoracic ec...

in this research, the bending analysis of rectangular nanoplates subjected to mechanical loading is investigated. for this purpose, the strain gradient elasticity theory with one gradient parameter is presented to study the nanoplates. from the best knowledge of authors, it is the first time that the exponential shear deformation formulation based on strain gradient elasticity theory is carried...
