The effect of strain rate on the deformation texture of alpha-iron ( -Fe) is studied at different strain levels during the deformation. Two shear compression specimens (SCS) were deformed in three consecutive stages at room temperature, one at 10 /s and the other at 10 /s, to the same strain level. The crystallographic textures were determined using electron backscattered diffraction. The textu...

Accurate predictions of the amount and the rate of long- term deformation of reinforced soils under an applied load are important key issue in geotechnical engineering, in which the deformation of soil develops with time at a state of constant effective stress. Since geosynthetic is generally considered creep sensitive therefore, evaluation of creep behavior of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS...

Abstract In this work, a support vector machine (SVM) model was developed to predict the hot deformation flow curves of AZ91 magnesium alloy. The experimental stress-strain curves, obtained from hot compression testing at different deformation conditions, were sampled. Consequently, a data base with the input variables of the deformation temperature, strain rate and strain and the output variab...

the hot compression tests were carried on x45crniw189 valve steel (x45) in the temperature rangeof 1000– 1200 °c and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperaturesoftening behavior of this steel. for the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effectivestrain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. on the basis of experimen...

Given the set of square matrices M ⊂ Mn+m(C) that keep the subspace W = Cnx{0} ⊂ C invariant, we obtain the implicit form of a miniversal deformation of a matrix a ∈ M, and we compute it explicitely when this matrix is marked (this is, if there is a permutation matrix p ∈ Mn+m(C) such that p−1ap is a Jordan matrix). We derive some applications to tackle the classical Carlson problem.

A new anisotropic viscoelastic model is developed for application to the aortic valve (AV). The directional dependency in the mechanical properties of the valve, arising from the predominantly circumferential alignment of collagen fibres, is accounted for in the form of transverse isotropy. The rate dependency of the valve's mechanical behaviour is considered to stem from the viscous (η) dissip...

Deformation of a rotating two-lobed liquid droplet was simulated numerically by solving the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations using the level set method. The two-lobed droplet was formed by rotating a spherical droplet; the droplet changed its shape from the sphere to the rotating ellipsoid, and to the two-lobed shape. It was found that the time histories of the deformation of two-lobed...

To investigate the hot deformation behavior of 17-7 PH stainless steel, hot compression tests were carried out at the temperatures of 950, 1050 and 1150 oC and strain rates of 0.001 s-1 to 0.1 s-1. Accordingly, the hot working behavior was studied by the analyses of flow stress curves, work hardening rate versus stress curves, exponent- type constitutive equations and deformed microstructures. ...
