Vitrification and plastic flow in transient elastomer networks
Abstract We investigate how the crossover temperature of the elastic-plastic transition, the ‘vitrification point’ T v , changes under load for isotropic vitrimers and exchangeable...

Identification of myogenic regulatory genes in the muscle transcriptome of beltfish (Trichiurus lepturus): A major commercial marine fish species with robust swimming ability
Abstract The beltfish (Trichiurus lepturus) is considered as one of the most economically important marine fish in East Asia. It is a top predator with a robust swimming ability that is a good model to study muscle physiology in fish. In the present ...

Local strain rate sensitivity of single α phase within a dual-phase Ti alloy
Abstract We have performed in-situ micropillar compression to investigate the local strain rate sensitivity of single α phase in dual-phase Ti alloy, Ti–6Al–2Sn–4Zr–2Mo (wt%). Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to identify two grains,...

Development of Si-based electrical biosensors: Simulations and first experimental results
Abstract In this work, we simulated and experimentally assessed the possibility to detect, through electrical transduction, hybridization of DNA molecules on MOS-like devices, having different dielectrics: SiO2, Si3N4 and SiO2/Si3N4/SiO2 (ONO). The...

The role of aluminium in chemical and phase segregation in a TRIP-assisted dual phase steel
Abstract In this work we demonstrate that micro-segregation patterns of alloying elements present in a high-strength TRIP-assisted DP steel after casting are retained in the microstructure throughout processing, and lead to anisotropy (banding) in...

Effective Implementation of WEEE Take-back Directive: What Types of Take-back Network Patterns in China
Abstract This paper further explains the context of this new legislation and describes, compares and then analyzes the four alternative strategies to reducing end-of-life waste, i.e., repairing, reconditioning, remanufacturing or recycling. It also...

Fuzzy entropy image segmentation based on particle swarm optimization
Abstract Particle swarm optimization is a stochastic global optimization algorithm that is based on swarm intelligence. Because of its excellent performance, particle swarm optimization is introduced into fuzzy entropy image segmentation to select...

Failure analysis of tube-to-tubesheet welded joints in a shell-tube heat exchanger
Abstract Failure analysis was carried out on a tube-to-tubesheet welded joint of a shell-tube heat exchanger to confirm its failure mechanism. The collected evidence suggests that the failure of the tube-to-tubesheet welded joint was induced by...

Alloy Corrosion Considerations in Low-Cost, Clean Biomass Cookstoves for the Developing World
Abstract Nearly 40% of the world cooks on open fires or inefficient biomass-fueled cookstoves. The resulting smoke is a health hazard, contributing to an estimated 4 million premature deaths per year, as well as a major source of black carbon...

An estimate of the time to degrade the cement sheath in a well exposed to carbonated brine
Abstract Carbon sequestration in abandoned petroleum fields may be a short-term solution to reducing anthropogenic emissions of CO2. If sequestration is adopted on a large scale, it will be important to understand how CO2 may leak out of...

Photoelastic analysis of surface-cracked elements in presence of Hertzian contact and interposed fluid
Abstract Starting from Way's studies [6] inlate 1935 a lot of work was made to investigate the influence oflubrication on contact fatigue surface crack propagation problems.A lot of numerical models can be found in literature; nevertheless an...

Role of Grain Boundaries in diffusional Phenomena during Gas Nitriding of Pure Iron
Abstract It is known that grain boundaries are preferential ways to enhance diffusion during thermo-chemical treatments like nitriding. When a component is gas nitrided, its microstructure (grain boundaries’ orientation) may prevent diffusion of...

Response of Damped Orthotropic Stiffened Plates Subjected to a Stepped Triangular Blast Loading
Abstract The response of structural components subjected to a stepped triangular blast loading had been the subject of a great deal of research. Much of these researches had been concentrated on the response of plates to impulsive loads. Complexity...

A Genetic Algorithm Based Form-Finding for Tensegrity Structure
Abstract A tensegrity structure consists of a set of continuous cables in tension and a set of discontinuous struts in compression. The tensegrity structure can be classified into self-stressed and pre-stressed structures. Present paper interest is...

Thermal Interactions between the Process and Workpiece
Abstract According to an international status report, up to 70% of the errors in cutting production can be traced back to time- and process- dependant temperature fluctuations. In particular, thermal effects from processing lead to the deformation...
