the aim of this research is to calculate the elastic constants and bulk modulus of cu-20 wt% ni random nanoalloy. the molecular dynamics simulation technique was used to calculate the mechanical properties in npt ensemble. the interaction between atoms as well as cohesive energy in the nanoalloy modeled systems was calculated by morse et al. two body potential. also the temperature of the syste...

background: one area of nanoscience deals with nanoscopic interactions between nanostructured materials and biological systems. to elucidate the effects of the substrate surface morphology and viscoelasticity on cell proliferation, fractal analysis was performed on endothelial cells cultured on nanocomposite samples based on silicone rubber (sr) and various concentrations of organomodified nano...

the main purpose of cementing of the well is to provide effective zonal isolation for the entire life of wells. the standard cements cannot prevent loss of zonal isolation when the stress level in the well cement is severely fluctuated. since elastic cements improve elastic properties, recently, a number of studies have been done in this area. for this purpose, a nanoparticle, named ex-ripi, wa...

background: characterizing the mechanical properties of brain tissue is deemed important for developing a comprehensive knowledge of the mechanisms underlying brain diseases. mechanical properties of very soft tissues, such as brain until recently have been attracted the attention of researchers because these tissues do not tolerate mechanical loads. the mechanical properties of brain tissue, h...

the residual stresses in composite laminates depend on several factors including the conditions of fabricating process, property of materials, direction and lay-ups of the layers. however the thermo-elastic behavior of composite is one of the most important parameters affecting the magnitude of residual stresses. the elastic properties and residual stresses do not remain constant under cyclic t...

In this work, the structural and elastic moduli properties of ZnFe2O4, Zn0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4, and Ni0.3Cu0.2Zn0.5Fe2O4 ferrites prepared by the citrate method have been investigated. The structuralcharacterization of the samples is evidence for a cubic structure with Fd-3m space group. TheHalder-Wagner analysis was used to study crystallite sizes and lattice strain and also stressand energy density. ...

A low relative area change (RAC) of the proximal pulmonary artery (PA) over the cardiac cycle is a good predictor of mortality from right ventricular failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The relationship between RAC and local mechanical properties of arteries, which are known to stiffen in acute and chronic PH, is not clear, however. In this study, we estimated elastic moduli o...

In this paper, a numerical analysis of stresses and displacements in FGM thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessel under internal pressure has been presented. The elastic modulus is assumed to be varying along the longitude of the pressure vessel with an exponential function continuously. The Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. Whereas most of the previous studies about FGM thick-walled p...

BACKGROUND Different stress-strain definitions are used in the literature to measure the elastic modulus in aortic tissue. There is no agreement as to which stress-strain definition should be implemented. The purpose of this study is to show how different results are given by the various definitions of stress-strain used and to recommend a specific definition when testing aortic tissues. METH...

In this paper, we investigated the athermal pressure behavior of the structural and elastic properties of scheelite BaWO4 phase up to 7 GPa using the ab initio pseudo-potential method. The calculated lattice parameters pressure relation have been compared with the experimental values and found to be in good agreement with these results. Moreover, we present for the first time the investigation ...
