the object of this work is to present a study of the thermomechanical behavior of the automobile disc brake for the prediction of their resistance to fatigue. then, a study of purely mechanical dry contact between the disc and pads is developed with a good prediction becomes a major stake for the industrialists while modeling the loading and the boundary conditions around the disc.we used the s...

We have calculated the thermal noise of a v-shaped AFM cantilever (Microlever, Type E, Thermomicroscopes) by means of a finite element analysis. The modal shapes of the first 10 eigenmodes are displayed as well as the numerical constants, which are needed for the calibration using the thermal noise method. In the first eigenmode, values for the thermomechanical noise of the z-displacement at 22...

A thermomechanical fatigue life prediction model based on the theory of damage mechanics is presented. The damage evolution, corresponding to the material degradation under cyclic thermomechanical loading, is quantified thermodynamic framework. The damage, as an internal state variable, is coupled with unified viscoplastic constitutive model to characterize the response of solder alloys. The da...

MAX phase materials are emerging as attractive engineering materials in applications where the material is exposed to severe thermal and mechanical conditions in an oxidative environment. The Ti2AlC MAX phase possesses attractive thermomechanical properties even beyond a temperature of 1000 K. An attractive feature of this material is its capacity for the autonomous healing of cracks when opera...

Pain sensation has been studied extensively, over a range of scales, from the molecular level to the entire human neural system. Thermal stimulation of pain has been widely used in the study of pain sensation. Skin thermal pain is induced through both direct (an increase/decrease in temperature) and indirect (thermomechanical and thermochemical) ways, and is governed by complicated thermomechan...

The structural organization and thermomechanical properties of nanocomposites prepared from interpolyelectrolyte-metal complex (IMC) involving anionic polyelectrolyte, pectin and AgNO3, and cationic polyelectrolyte, poly(4-vinylpyridine), have been investigated using the methods of wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering and thermomechanical analysis. It is established that chemical reduction of...

The thermomechanical degradation of blends made from polypropylene and polystyrene, with or without compatibilizer, was studied using an internal mixer coupled to a torque rheometer. The blends processed without compatibilizer presented regular and expected results regarding torque reduction, with evidence of chain scission. The blends processed with the block copolymer of styrene and butadiene...

structural steels with very high strength levels are often referred to as ultrahigh-strength steels (uhss). the usage of uhss has been extensively studied in aerospace industries and offshore platforms. in this study, medium carbon low alloy steel (ams6305) was thermomechanicaly treated to obtain an ultra-high strength bainitic steel for aircraft engine compressor disk. a novel themomechanical ...
