compressibility characteristics of fine-grained soils are often the most important parameters for settlement evaluation of the founded layers. the compression index which is the slope of virgin curve is usually for determination of settlement potential of fine grained soils. in this research, the effects of different physical and index properties of soil samples were investigated on compression...

In spite of excellent corrosion resistance, good ductility and low cost of AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel, the low hardness and poor mechanical charecteristic of material restricts its applicability in several industrial services. To improve upon mechanical properties AlFeCuCrCoNi-WC10 high-entropy alloy coatings were deposited via laser cladding on austentic stainless steel AISI 316 subst...

Abstract The leading theory of primary radiation damage in materials, by Norgett, Robinson, and Torrens (NRT), assumes that materials are homogeneous. This is inadequate for most engineering which have rich microstructures. lack alternative theories has led to the widespread assumption microstructure only affects defect recombination not production. We extend NRT formalism account microstructur...

The evolution of texture was discussed during the formation of ultra-fine and nano grains in a magnesium alloy severely deformed through accumulative back extrusion (ABE). The microstructure and texture obtained after applying multiple deformation passes at temperatures of 100 and 250°C were characterized. The results showed that after single ABE pass at 100°C an ultrafine/nano grained microstr...

The microstructure stability during d sub-solvus annealing in Inconel 718 was investigated, focusing on the conditions that may lead to the development of very large grains (about 100 lm) in a recrystallized fine grained matrix (4 to 5 lm) despite the presence of second-phase particles. Microstructure evolution was analyzed by EBSD (grain size, intragranular misorientation) and SEM (d phase par...

The harmonic structure is a recently introduced concept paving the way for engineering metallic materials to achieve excellent mechanical performance. They consist of soft coarse-grained regions (Core) that are three-dimensionally surrounded by connected network hard ultra-fine grained (Shell). interaction in these Core–Shell produces synergistic effect, during plastic deformation, leading supe...
