Rubber has been recognized as an engineering material since the mid 1800s. It is well known that the mechanical behavior of rubber is complicated due to nonlinearity, hyperelasticity and its great sensitivity to the effects ...

In this study the corrosion resistance of Ti30Ta experimental alloy was evaluated when submitted to different deformation rates. Alloys were processed in arc melting, furnace, forged and treated. The samples were machined ...

The API 5L X65 steel is widely used as one of the most economical and safe ways of transporting oil and gas. The significant number of accidents caused by failures of pipelines is due to corrosion. Plastic deformation can ...

In the present work, the deformation and fracture behavior of PP/ash composites with different ash content was investigated. The effect of a silane coupling agent was also analyzed. From uniaxial tensile tests, an increase ...

To explain the magnetic behavior of plastic deformation of thin magnetic films (Fe and permalloy) on an elastic substrate (nitinol), it is noted that unlike in the bulk, the dislocation density does not increase dramatically ...

The microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior during large strain of a 0.16%C-Mn steel has been investigated by warm torsion tests. These experiments were carried out at 685°C at equivalent strain rate of 0.1 s . ...
