Strain effect on the electronic density of states and dc conductivity of disordered binary alloys

A single-band model calculation is developed for the effect of strain on the temperature variation of the electronic density of states and the electrical onductivity of disordered binary alloys. Experimentally, strain has only a small effect on the temperature variation of the conductivity. Shifts in the Fermi level and distortions of the density of states under different strains are found from the calculations. The small change in the temperature variation of conductivity under strain is a result of competition between these two effects. Methods to extract physical parameters characterizing alloys from measurements of the strain and temperature variation of the resistivity are discussed. Suggestions are also made about materials-selection criteria for strain-gauge applications.

Analysis of the tensile stress-strain behavior of elastomers at constant strain rates. I - Criteria for separability of the time and strain effects

A theoretical analysis of the tensile stress-strain relation of elastomers at constant strain rate is presented which shows that the time and the stress effect are separable if the experimental time scale coincides with a segment of the relaxation modulus that can be described by a single power law. It is also shown that time-strain separability is valid if the strain function is linearly proportional to the Cauchy strain, and that when time-strain separability holds, two strain-dependent quantities can be obtained experimentally. In the case where time and strain effect are not separable, superposition can be achieved only by using temperature and strain-dependent shift factors.

Sweeping and straining effects in sound generation by high Reynolds number isotropic turbulence

The sound radiated by isotropic turbulence is computed using inertial range scaling expressions for the relevant two time and two point correlations. The result depends on whether the decay of Eulerian time correlations is dominated by large scale sweeping or by local straining: the straining hypothesis leads to an expression for total acoustic power, whereas the sweeping hypothesis leads to a more recent result.

Strain Effects on the Structural and Magnetic Properties of La- Ca-Mn-O Epitaxial Films

La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (a = 3.86 angstroms) epitaxial thin films have been grown on SrTiO3 (a = 3.905 angstroms), LaAlO3 (a = 3.79 angstroms), and YAlO3 (a/square root of 2 = 3.66 angstroms, b/square root of 2 = 3.77 angstroms) substrates. The films were analyzed with x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, dc and ac resistivity, and dc magnetization.

Temperature and Strain-Rate Effects on Low-Cycle Fatigue Behavior of Alloy 800H

The effects of strain rate (4 x 10(exp -6) to 4 x 10(exp -3)/s) and temperature on the Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF) behavior of alloy 800H have been evaluated in the range 750 C to 950 C. Total axial strain controlled LCF tests were conducted in air at a strain amplitude of +/- 0.30 pct. LCF life decreased with decreasing strain rate and increasing temperature. The cyclic stress response behavior showed a marked variation with temperature and strain rate. The time- and temperature- dependent processes which influence the cyclic stress response and life have been identified and their relative importance assessed. Dynamic strain aging, time-dependent deformation, precipitation of parallel platelets of M(23)C6 on grain boundaries and incoherent ledges of twins, and oxidation were found to operate depending on the test conditions. The largest effect on life was shown by oxidation processes.

An investigation of strain cycling behavior of 7075-T6 aluminum under combined state of strain: The effects of out-of-phase, biaxial strain cycling on low cycle fatigue

The effect of out-of-phase strain cycling on the low cycle fatigue of biaxially loaded specimens is discussed. A method to apply phase angles between two strains imposed in two different directions was developed. The data and the proposed theoretical analysis are part of a research program on biaxial strain cycling effect on fatigue life of structural materials.

The Effect of Strain on the Base Resistance and Transit Time of Ungraded and Compositional-Graded SiGe HBTs

A theoretical study of the effects of the strain on the base properties of ungraded and compositional-graded n-p-n SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBT) is presented. The dependencies of the transverse hole mobility and longitudinal electron mobility upon strain, composition and doping, are formulated using published Monte-Carlo data and, consequently, the base resistance and transit time are modeled and calculated. The results are compared to results obtained using common formulas that ignore these dependencies. The differences between the two sets of results are shown. The paper's conclusion is that for the design, analysis and optimization of high frequency SiGe HBTs the strain effects on the base properties cannot be ignored.

Environmental and high strain rate effects on composites for engine applications

The complex environmental and loading conditions experienced by many turbine engine components impose severe durability and damage tolerance requirements for component materials. Programs are being conducted to establish the structural performance of composite materials under anticipated engine operating environments. A description is presented of the results obtained in connection with several of these programs. A comparison of predicted and measured hygrothermal effects is considered along with hygrothermal effects on defect growth, high strain rate effects on composite mechanical properties, dynamic stress intensity factors for composites, and the indentation laws for composite impact analysis.
