Magnetoelastic coupling and uniaxial pressure dependencies of the ferromagnetic ordering temperature in quasi-two-dimensional layered van-der-Waals material CrI$_3$ are experimentally studied quantified by high-resolution dilatometry. Clear anomalies thermal expansion coefficients at $T_{\rm C}$ imply positive (negative) $\partial T_{\rm C}/\partial p_{\rm i}$ for applied along (perpendicular t...

We consider the displacement of an elastic material under an external compression (axial or almost axial stress). We assume that only one component of the displacement is observed, in the direction of compression (axial displacement), or alternatively, that two components are observed in a plane. These hypotheses are in accordance with an imaging modality, namely ultrasonic elastography. In the...

Large-strain monotonic and cyclic loading tests of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets were performed with a newly developed testing system, at different temperatures, ranging from room temperature to 250 °C. Behaviors showing significant twinning during initial in-plane compression and untwinning in subsequent tension at and slightly above room temperature were recorded. Strong yielding asymmetry and...

Considering economical reasons and attempting to reduce carbon foot print of concrete structures, there is increasing tendency toward use of high strength reinforcement in seismically active regions. ACI 318-19, Iranian steel rebars standard INSO 3132 and next edition of Iranian national building allow the use of high strength rebars in elements of ductile force resisting systems. Therefore it ...
