In this paper, low cycle fatigue life of CK45 steel and SS316 stainless steel under strain-controlled loading are experimentally investigated. In addition, the impact of mean strain and strain amplitude on the fatigue life and cyclic behavior of the materials are studied. Furthermore, it is attempted to predict fatigue life using energy and SWT damage parameters. The experimental results demons...

The potential performance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as springs for elastic energy storage is evaluated. Models are used to determine an upper bound on the energy density that can be stored in defect-free individual CNTs and in assemblies of such CNTs. The models reveal that optimal energy density may be achieved in small-diameter single-walled CNTs loaded in tension, with a maximum theoretical...

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...

importance of covalent bonded two-dimensional monolayer nanostructures and also hydrocarbons is undeniably responsible for creation of new fascinating materials like polyphenylene polymer, a hydrocarbon super honeycomb network, so-called porous graphene. the mechanical properties of porous graphene such as its young’s modulus, poisson’s ratio and the bulk modulus as the determinative properties...

Solitary waves in a one-dimensional chain of atoms {qj}j∈Z are investigated. The potential energy is required to be monotone and grow super-quadratically. The existence of solitary waves with a prescribed asymptotic strain is shown under certain assumptions on the asymptotic strain and the wave speed. It is demonstrated the invariance of the equations allows one to transform a system with non-c...

background: despite the great impact of diet on the metabolic syndrome, limited data are available relating dietary energy density to this syndrome. furthermore, due to specific characteristics of diet in middle-eastern countries, looking for the association between dietary energy density and metabolic syndrome in this part of the world would be interesting. this study was performed to assess t...

The strain rate effect of luffa sponge material is an indispensable property for it to be used for acoustic, vibration, and impact energy absorption. Compressive tests at different strain rates on cylindrical column specimens of luffa sponge material were conducted over a wide density ranging from 24 to 64 kg/m. A photographic technique was applied to measure the section area of the specimen wi...
