The low cycle fatigue (LCF) performance of AA6063 Al–Mg– Si alloy at under-aged (UA), peak-aged (PA) and over-aged (OA) conditions has been examined to understand the micromechanism of fatigue and the associated dynamic structural changes... more
Deformation twinning plays a critical role on improving metals or alloys ductility, especially for hexagonal close-packed materials with low symmetry crystal structure. A rolled Mg alloy was selected as a model system to investigate the... more
Indentation scratch-induced wear in Mg-8 wt% Al-0.5 wt% Zn (AZ80) alloy is investigated in this study for solution-treated and peak-aged conditions. Aged alloy exhibited higher wear resistance, with 12–14 % reduction in wear volume. This... more
Copolypropylene/organoclay nanocomposites are prepared by melt intercalation method in this research. Two different routes for addition of compatibilizer are examined, i.e. addition in the twin-screw extruder along with the polymer and... more
Rock-mechanics experiments, geodetic observations of postloading strain transients, and micro- and macrostructural studies of exhumed ductile shear zones provide complementary views of the style and rheology of deformation deep in... more
A finite element method was recently designed to model the mechanisms that cause superplastic deformation (A.F. Bower and E. Wininger, A Two-Dimensional Finite Element Method for Simulating the Constitutive Response and Microstructure of... more
Polypropylene/montmorillonite nanocomposite was prepared by melt intercalation method using a twin-screw extruder with starve feeding system in this paper. The effects of compatibilizer, extruder rotor speed and feeding rate on properties... more
The mechanisms underlying the toughening in rigid natural composites exhibited by the concentric cylindrical composites of spicules of hexactinellid sponges, and by the nacre (brick-and-mortar) structure of mollusks such as Haliotis... more
