The objective of this paper was to predict the thermomechanical behavior of 2080 aluminum alloy reinforced with SiC particles using the Mori–Tanaka theory combined with the finite element method. The influences of particle volume fraction, stiffness, aspect ratio and orientation were examined in terms of effective Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of th...

A closed form three-dimensional solution is presented for determination of the local buckling (cell buckling) load of the nanosheets. Moreover, an expression is proposed for the effective 2D Young’s modulus of the unit cell of the nanosheet. In this regard, a three-dimensional efficient space-frame-like geometrical model with angular and extensional compliances is considered to investigate stab...

Polymer composites were manufactured using biocarbon particles as a reinforcing filler to improve the mechanical and thermal properties. However, detailed examination of dispersion agglomeration is essential correlate matrix interactions with properties product. We investigated variations mechanical, behaviour fillers, polypropylene coconut shell composites. PP CSB prepared by melt mixing proce...

field experiments were conducted on an existing subsurface drainage system in roodasht region of esfahan, ian, to test the performance of drain spacing equations for transient flow. the water table profiles recorded from a series of observation wells indicated an essentially flat water surface. the effective hydraulic conductivity and the degree of anisotropy were calculated as 19.2 cm h-1 and ...

Vortex tilt response in a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) vortex lattice is studied as a probe reflecting the spatial structure of this state. In quasi 2D materials under a parallel magnetic field, the tilt modulus E2 of the nodal planes in the FFLO state modulating along the field decreases as the paramagnetic effect is effectively enhanced, and this reduction of E2 in turn reduces the...

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Youngs’ modulus (E) of rock are important parameters required during design stability analysis mining geotechnical structures. There is correlation between UCS E rock, the proper estimation such for reliable engineering analysis. However, limited quantity data pairs often available most project sites makes it difficult to estimate E. This study addres...

Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets prepared by van der Waals epitaxy were successfully detached, transferred, and suspended for nano-indentation measurements to be performed on freestanding circular nanosheets. The Young's modulus acquired by fitting linear elastic behaviors of 26 samples (thickness: 5-14 nm) is only 11.7-25.7 GPa, significantly smaller than the bulk in-...

Introduction American chestnut (Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh. once occurred over much of the eastern deciduous forests of North America (Russell, 1987), with a natural range exceeding 800,000 km (Braun, 1950) (Figure 1). Castanea dentata was a dominant tree species throughout much of its range, comprising between 25-50% of the canopy (Braun, 1950; Foster et al., 2002; Russell, 1987; Stephens...

Problem statement: This study mainly to study the effect of several commercial underfill materials to the reliability of HiCTE Flip Chip Ceramic Ball Grid Array (FC-CBGA) package due to Accelerated Thermal Cycling (ATC) effect. Approach: The warpage condition of package, die back stress, interfacial die shear stress, and solder bump fatigue for different commercial underfills were assessed and ...

Shear modulus imaging, often called elastography, enables detection and characterization of tissue abnormalities. In this paper the data is two displacement components obtained from successive MR or ultrasound data sets acquired while the tissue is excited mechanically. A 2D plane strain elastic model is assumed to govern the 2D displacement, u. The shear modulus, μ, is unknown and whether or n...
