...A. Akbari-Fakhrabadi; R. Mahmudi; A. Karsaz; A. R. Geranmayeh The creep behavior of Cu–0.3Cr–0.1Ag alloy was investigated by the impression creep testing technique and compared with that of pure copper under constant punching stress in the range 80–550 MPa at temperatures in the range 688–855 K...

...Michel G. Darrieulat; Asdin Aoufi The present article addresses the following question: How is it that shears are so common in the plastic deformation of metallic alloys? An answer is sought in a geometric description of the shear flow when the deformation is produced by slip systems gliding...

...Eduard R. Oberaigner; Franz D. Fischer; Kikuaki Tanaka Vibration damping through phase transformation is one major area of application of shape memory alloys in smart systems and structures. The authors of this study have shown in earlier publications, how damping of vibrating rods can...

... fracture mechanics alloys continuum mechanics voids (solid) grain growth dislocation structure The requirement for high temperature power plant to operate efficiently and safely for very long periods (up to 30 to 40 years), often in conditions of variable loading, places extreme demands...

...Robert G. Tryon; Thomas A. Cruse, Fellow ASME This paper presents an analytical modeling approach to characterize and understand high cycle fatigue life in gas turbine alloys. It is recognized that the design of structures subjected to fatigue cannot be based on average material behavior...
