Role of grain boundaries in determining strength and plastic deformation of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia bicrystals

Submitted by mohsenzaeem on

Mechanical properties of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (YSTZ) bicrystals under compressive loading are investigated by atomistic simulations. Previous studies on deformation of single-crystal YSTZ showed that some specific orientations promote dislocation emission, tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation, or both. In this work, nanograins with different orientations are selectively combined to generate bicrystals with various grain boundaries (GBs).

Post-doctoral position at the University of Texas

Submitted by Ravi-Chandar on

The Research Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for an open position as Post-doctoral Fellow. The specific project involves the characterization of the constitutive and failure behavior of structural materials (aluminum alloys, steels, titanium alloys, metal-matrix composites, polymers and other selected materials) under quasi-static and dynamic conditions.

Finite-Element Analysis of Current-Induced Thermal Stress n a Conducting Sphere

Submitted by hasanzhong on

Understanding the electrothermal-mechanical behavior of electronic inter-

connects is of practical importance in improving the structural reliability of

electronic devices. In this work, we use the finite-element method to analyze

the Joule-heating-induced thermomechanical deformation of a metallic sphere

that is sandwiched between two rigid plates. The deformation behavior of the

sphere is elastic–perfectly plastic with Young’s modulus and yield stress

decreasing with temperature. The mechanical stresses created by Joule

Post Doctoral Appointment in Deformation-Microstructure Modeling

Submitted by gthompson1 on

Professor Gregory B. Thompson at the University of Alabama seeks post doctoral applicants for projects related to deformation modeling and oxidation in high temperature ceramic systems.  The qualified candidate will use modeling to explain and help direct experimental studies.

Evoution of Yield surfaces: Past and Future Trend - Part 3

Submitted by Amit Pandey on

 My last two posts on this series

Part- 1 (node/9016) and

Part- 2 (node/9073)

were mainly focussed on the tension–torsion (σ11–√3σ12) stress space. This paper will be the final post on this series and will focus mainly on the behavior of  both of these alloys under tension–tension (σ11σ22)space and conclude this ongoing research.

"Defects and Microstructure at the Nanoscale and Beyond," Mini-symposium at USNCCM-10, July 16-19, 2009

Submitted by Robin Selinger on

There will be a mini-symposium entitled "Defects and Microstructure at the Nanoscale and Beyond," at the USNCCM-10 conference in Columbus, OH, July 16 -19, 2009.  This topic is of keen interest to the I-Mechanica community and we hope many of you will join us there. Our goal is to bring together researchers from the mechanics, materials, and physics communities to cross-fertilize research on defect-mediated processes in microstructural evolution, with a focus on both hard and soft materials.
