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...

In this work, dynamic mechanical properties of three high-manganese steels with TRIP/TWIP or fully TWIP characteristics are studied. High strain rate experiments in the range of true strain rates between ~500 and 1800 /s are conducted using a dynamic torsional testing setup. All the three steels show a positive strain rate sensitivity in the intermediate range of strain rates (up to 500 /s). Bu...

Production of oxytetracycline by an isolated strain of Streptomyces rimosus from Iranian soil was investigated using a special fermentation medium. A comparative study was performed with standard strain PTCC 1144 using the following parameters optimum growth conditions with respect to time, pH, and different amounts of corn steep liquor. Surprisingly, the production yield of the wild strai...

in this paper, the accumulative channel-die compression bounding (accb) method is investigated as a new method of severe plastic deformation to produce nano-crystalline bulk metals on the basis of pressing in a channel mold. aluminum as one of the most usable metal in industry is processed using this method. analyzing the processed samples show that after four passes of accb method, the ultimat...

vanillin is undoubtedly one of the most popular and widely used flavoring agents in the world. natural vanillin is extracted from vanilla beans and is relatively expensive. moreover, the consumer demand for natural vanillin highly exceeds the amount of vanillin extracted by plant sources. this had led to the investigation of alternative routes for its production such as microbial bioconversion....

background: the aim of this study was dna extraction from protosco-lecses of echinococcus granulosus and identification of these strains in west- azerbaijan province, north western iran. methods: thirty one livestock isolates from sheep and cattle were collected from abattoirs of the province. to investigate the genetic variation of the isolates, after dna extraction by glass beads-phenol chlor...
