Hydrogenation is an effective way to modify the electronic and magnetic properties of graphene. The semi-hydrogenated graphene, known as "graphone", has promising applications in nanoelectronics including field-effect transistors. However, the elastic limit of this two-dimensional material remains unknown despite its importance in applications as well as strain engineering to tailor functions a...

Since Li4Ti5O12 as a promising anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has a poor rate performance due to low electronic conductivity, a doping of Li4Ti5O12 with heterogeneous atoms has been considered to overcome this problem. Herein, we report that there is an upper limit of doping level to maintain the zero strain characteristics of Li4Ti5O12 lattice during charge/discharge process. B...

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to study the time-asymptotic behaviour of weak solutions of an initial-boundary value problem for a viscoelastic two-phase material with capillarity in one space dimension. Therein, the capillarity is modelled via a nonlocal interaction potential. Based on the existence and regularity results of [5], we analyze the time-asymptotic convergence of the strain-vel...

Asymptotic near-tip fields are analyzed for a plane strain Mode I crack propagating dynamically in non-associative elastic–plastic solids of the Drucker–Prager type with an isotropic linear strain hardening response. Eigen solutions are obtained over a range of material parameters and crack speeds, based on the assumption that asymptotic solutions are variable-separable and fully continuous. A ...

The nanomechanical response properties of 3C-SiC nanowires are investigated using molecular dynamics simulation with Tersoff bond-order interatomic potential. Under axial compression and tensile strain, the computed Young’s modulus and structural changes at elastic limit do not depend appreciably on the diameter of the nanowire except for the nanowire of the smallest diameter 1 nm under compres...

forming limit diagram (fld) is an important diagram by which the formability of sheet metals is studied. strain rate is a very effective parameter influencing the fld which is, in turn, influenced by the forming velocity. in this work, forming limit diagram for st14 was investigated both experimentally and numerically. in addition, the effect of forming velocity was studied and the experiments ...

the objective of this study was to develop a numerical model for the prediction of temperature distribution, effective plastic strain distribution, and especially material flow in friction stir welding of copper plates. the deform-3d software was used by incorporating a lagrangian incremental formulation. threedimensional results of the material flow pattern which were extracted using the point...
