... improvement in both tensile strength, ductility, and work of fracture (54% increment). An attempt is made to correlate the tensile response of composites with their microstructural characteristics. magnesium nanocomposite mechanical behavior microstructure solidification In view...

... thermomechanical simulator in the Institute for Ferrous Metallurgy in Gliwice, Poland. The testing machine allows the physical deformation of samples while solidification of their central part is still in progress. The essential goal of the simulation was the computer reconstruction of both temperature changes...

... using any current techniques. Since entanglements in the melt state are known to be preserved in the polymer upon solidification, determination of the molecular weight between entanglements ( M e ) is used as a measure of chain entanglements for polyethylene. A decrease in molecular weight between...

...% to maintain light weight structures. Several FGSF specimens having similar density are fabricated with different layer arrangements. The different layers are integrated before major solidification takes place. Quasistatic compression testing is then performed on the cured FGSF samples using MTS-810...

... processes to be running at temperatures characteristic of the last stage of solidification. The still existing density change in mushy steel causes volume changes comparable to those caused by numerical errors. This paper reports work concerning the adaptation of the model to simulation of plastic behavior...

...K. Kannan; I. J. Rao; K. R. Rajagopal A thermodynamic framework is presented that can be used to describe the solidification of polymer melts, both the solidification of atactic polymers into an amorphous elastic solid and the crystallization of other types of polymer melts to semi-crystalline...
