In order to describe the deformation properties due to the martensitic transformation and the R-phase transformation of TiNi shape memory alloy, a thermomechanical constitutive equation considering the volume fractions of induced phases associated with both transformations is developed. The proposed constitutive equation expresses well the properties of the shape memory effect, pseudoelasticity...

The product and process parameters that determine successful freeze-drying are described and their interrelationships are explored. It is shown that the thermochemical and thermomechanical properties of water-soluble, amorphous materials form the basis of effective formulation design and that coordinated approaches to formulation and process development achieve optimum results with a minimum of...

Austenitic stainless steels are extensively used in various applications requiring good corrosion resistance and formability. In the current study, the formation of nano/ ultrafine grained austenitic microstructure in a microalloyed AISI 304L stainless steel was investigated by the advanced thermomechanical process of reversion of strain-induced martensite. For this purpose, samples were subjec...

The thermomechanical structuring by extrusion and shear cell processing of plant proteins into meat analogues is discussed in the context phase state behavior proteins, with a focus on soy gluten. water content dependence denaturation temperature major protein fractions from critically analyzed available literature sources, its impact for low-moisture (LMMAs; also known as texturized vegetable ...

We present a set of thermomechanical design rules to support and accelerate future (PV) module developments. The are derived from comprehensive parameter sensitivity study different PV layers material properties by finite element method simulations. develop three dimensional (FEM) model, which models the geometry in detail busbar ribbons up frame including adhesive. FEM simulation covers solder...

in this study, the effects of nitrogen addition on the production of ultrafine/nano grained aisi 201l stainlesssteel by advanced thermo-mechanical process were investigated. cast samples were first homogenized at 1200 °c for 4 h, hot-rolled at 1100 °c and finally, solution-annealed at 1150 °c for 2.5 h. unidirectional and cross multipass cold rolling at 25 °c was carried out to 90% reduction in...
