A closed-loop approach is adopted to implement strain rate Control during the bulge test. Due to the difficulty Of measuring strains directly, the technique is based oil the conversion of displacement measurement to the corresponding strains using the plane-strain formulation. The necessary temporal evolution of the midpoint displacement of a rectangular diaphragm is derived under the condition of constant Strain rate and is Imposed as a control criterion. The technique is demonstrated oil 500-nm-thick Au diaphragms by applying, strain rates ranging from 2 x 10(-6) to 2 x 10(-4) s(-1). By measures the corresponding yield strength values, a Strain rate sensitivity of 0.11 is obtained, which is close to what was previously reported oil similar specimens using the microbending test.

Some peculiarities of nematic-isotropic liquid phase transitions in monomorphic and polymorphic mesogens
Nesrullajev, Arif; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Saliholu, Selami; Kazanc, Nadide (Elsevier BV, 2002-10-03)
In this study, the dynamics of the changes of the morphological properties in the nematic mesophase and in the heterophase regions of the phase transitions between the nematic mesophase and the isotropic liquid for the thermotropic mesogens have been investigated. Experimentally, we have obtained the thermal hysteresis for the investigated phase transitions. For the analysis of the phase transition temperatures and the peculiarities of the heterophase regions, the mean field theory has been used.
DOPING AND BAND-GAP ENGINEERING OF AN INTRAZEOLITE TUNGSTEN(VI) OXIDE SUPRALATTICE
OZIN, GA; MALEK, A; PROKOPOWICZ, R; MACDONALD, PM; Özkar, Saim; MOLLER, K; BEIN, T (1991-01-01)
New results are presented concerning the topotactic self-assembly, n-type doping and band-gap engineering of an intrazeolite tungsten(VI) oxide supralattice n(WO3)-Na56Y, where O < n ≤ 32, built-up of single size and shape (WO3)2 dimers. In particular it has been found that the oxygen content of these dimers can be quantitatively adjusted by means of a thermal vacuum induced reversible reductive-elimination oxidative-addition of dioxygen. This provides access to new n(WO3−x)−Na56Y materials (0 < x ≤ 1.0) in...
Multi-scale characterization of particle clustering in discontinuously reinforced composites
CETIN, Arda; Kalkanlı, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-01)
The applicability of a quantitative characterization scheme for cluster detection in particle reinforced composites is discussed. The method considers the pattern from the perspective of individual particles, so that even in a pattern that globally conforms to a random distribution, micro-scale heterogeneities can be detected. The detected clusters are visualized by kernel surfaces. Results indicate that the presented methodology is an effective discriminator of clusters and can successfully be used for qua...
Stress resultants plasticity with general closest point projection
Sarıtaş, Afşin (Elsevier BV, 2011-03-01)
In this paper, general closest point projection algorithm is derived for the elastoplastic behavior of a cross-section of a beam finite element. For given section deformations, the section forces (stress resultants) and the section tangent stiffness matrix are obtained as the response for the cross-section. Backward Euler time integration rule is used for the solution of the nonlinear evolution equations. The solution yields the general closest projection algorithm for stress resultants plasticity model. Al...
Initiation and early growth of short fatigue cracks at inclusions
Kaynak, Cevdet; Baker, TJ (Informa UK Limited, 1996-05-01)
In this study, the initiation and early growth behaviour of short fatigue cracks in En7A steel with a high content of elongated MnS inclusions was investigated by generating and evaluating data on the growth of short fatigue cracks under various stress levels and stress ratios for the six principal specimen orientations. Short cracks usually initiated at the debonded interfaces between the matrix and the inclusions. If there was no debonding, cracking sometimes occurred in the inclusions. In the early stage...
