An intelligent V-bending process developed by the authors is briefly described and the importance of change in Young's modulus due to plastic deformation, which influences the amount of springback and therefore the accuracy, is emphasized. The change in Young's modulus in simple tension of a cold rolled steel sheet is experimentally investigated by affixing strain gauges on the specimen. It is ...

This paper derives conditions for localized deformation for a transversely isotropic constitutive relation intended to model the response of geological materials in the axisymmetric compression test. The analysis considers the possibility of shear bands, with dilation or compaction, and pure compaction bands. The latter are planar zones of localized pure compressive deformation (without shear) ...

Local electron work function, adhesive force, modulus and deformation of ferrite and austenite phases in a duplex stainless steel were analyzed by scanning force microscopy. It is demonstrated that the austenite has a higher electron work function than the ferrite, corresponding to higher modulus, smaller deformation and larger adhesive force. Relevant first-principles calculations were conduct...

Young's modulus from a conventional elongation test of paper is usually underestimated, mainly because slippage occurs between the specimen and the grips during loading. A more accurate Young's modulus is sometimes required for a precise discussion of paper science or the suitable material design of paper. Although the vibrating reed method and the ultrasonic method have both been proposed for ...

The permanent deformation pavement of roads and streets at tropical zones Abstract (if layers are sufficiently compacted) is due to increase of asphalt layers temperature and consequential decrease of modulus of elasticity. Therefore, the asphalt mixture moves aside of the wheels of heavy vehicles and cause permanent deformations without volume variation. On the other hand, if the asphalt layer...

Maximal airway narrowing during bronchoconstriction is greater in immature than in mature rabbits. At a given transpulmonary pressure (PL), the lung parenchyma surrounding the airway resists local deformation and provides a load that opposes airway smooth muscle shortening. We hypothesized that the force required to produce lung parenchymal deformation, quantified by the shear modulus, is lower...

The small-deformation behaviour of Newtonian emulsion drops covered with a viscoelastic layer of adsorbed proteins (globular proteins and random coil protein) is investigated in shear flow and compared to emulsions prepared with a low molecular weight surfactant (SDS). Drop deformation experiments are performed with dilute emulsions in the rheometer using light microscopy as well as rheo-SALS [...

this paper studies thoroughly and deeply the results of about one hundred triaxial compression tests on thirty types of rockfill materials. the materials are categorized in accordance with their particles shape (angular / rounded) and gradation characteristics. the main tool of the study is the hyperbolic model developed by duncan and chang. the focus of the study is on the variations of deform...

This study proposed a numerical procedure to simulate the deformation behaviors of the uniaxial compression test of single gabion and of the lateral loading test of full scale gabion retaining wall. The validity of the numerical procedures is verified by the comparison of the measurements with the simulations of deformation behavior. In addition, two evaluation equations which are capable of es...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the deformation properties of a range of long-term denture soft lining materials using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. Specimens were subjected to sinusoidal shear deformation at a frequency of 1 Hz and a strain of 64 microns peak to peak over a temperature range of 30-70 degrees C. The technique simulated the type and rate of deformation soft ...
