The present work demonstrates a micromechanical technique to investigate the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of Ni microbeams under fully reversed bending loadings. extends range measured lives from previously reported for high and very (HCF/VHCF) characterization in same microbeams. results highlight significant differences slope stress strain-life crack propagation rates that differ an avera...

Cellular micro-irradiation using ion beams is now recognised as a highly versatile technique for understanding how ionising radiation interacts with living cells and tissues. The strength of the micro-irradiation technique lies in its ability to deliver precise doses of radiation to selected individual cells (or sub-cellular targets) in vitro. The application of this technique in the field of r...

The present work aims to study the free vibration, buckling and post-buckling behaviors of bidirectional functionally graded (BDFG) microbeams. material properties a BDFG microbeam were varied continuously in both thickness axial directions. Furthermore, four different kinds distribution function taken into consideration, two which symmetrical direction, remaining asymmetrical. Employing Timosh...

Despite significant progress in high-throughput methods in macromolecular crystallography, the production of diffraction-quality crystals remains a major bottleneck. By recording diffraction in situ from crystals in their crystallization plates at room temperature, a number of problems associated with crystal handling and cryoprotection can be side-stepped. Using a dedicated goniometer installe...
