the dynamic behavior of three high manganese steels with very different stacking faultenergy (sfe) values (4-30 mj/m2) were studied using high strain rate torsional tests. the hotrolledmicrostructure of the steel with the lowest sfe of 4 mj/m2 consisted of a duplex mixture ofaustenite and ε-martensite, but those of the other two steels were fully austenitic. the deformedmicrostructures were stu...

interferometric synthetic aperture radar (insar) technique is valuable tool in monitoring crustal deformation due to its large spatial coverage and high spatial resolutions. in this paper, the intersiesmic crustal deformation occurred before earthquake on august 2012 in ahar-varzegan located in north-west of iran is studied using persistent scattering interferometry. the psi algorithm used in t...

conclusions echocardiography and 2d speckle tracking strain imaging shows improvements in left ventricular deformation indices in atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (avrt) and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (avnrt) patients for the mean systolic strain and strain rate at 24 hours and the three-month follow-up. in spite of the normal lvef, even during sinus rhythm, deformation ...

The molecular mechanisms for plastic deformation of bone tissue are not well understood. We analysed temperature and strain-rate dependence of the tensile deformation behaviour in fibrolamellar bone, using a technique originally developed for studying plastic deformation in metals. We show that, beyond the elastic regime, bone is highly strain-rate sensitive, with an activation volume of ca 0.6...
