Abstract: Oxygen is considered to be an impurity in titanium and its alloys, and it enhances their brittleness. However, oxygen has also been recognized as a useful ingredient to improve the mechanical performance of titanium alloys for biomedical applications, because oxygen is a lightweight interstitial element that is non-toxic and non-allergenic. Some reports show that adding oxygen improves both the strength and the ductility of titanium alloys for biomedical applications. The effects of oxygen addition on the mechanical performance of titanium alloys for biomedical aplications are described.

Abstract: Size effect for intrinsic stresses and thermodynamics of films formation established taking into account the nature of stresses in copper condensates deposited on solid state substrates. We believe that surface energy changes during layer by layer deposition in such condensates with chaotically dispersed areas (possessing different values of Young’s modulus) define the film’s mechanic parameters. The quantitative estimations of mechanical stresses are calculated for layer by layer film growth. The resulting intrinsic stresses (ISs) in copper condensates nature from local static ones, superposed within the area of a film. The latter arose due to anisotropy of interface interaction energy parameters.

Abstract: This research proposed an inverse method to calculate the mechanical property of a chicken eggshell. The optimization method had been performed to determine the simulated results of the finite element analysis in order to predict Young’s Modulus of the eggshell. To obtain an accurate mechanical property of the eggshell, the finite element analysis was verified by comparison with the experimental results. There was found that the error of the coupling calculation method between the inverse method and finite element method was less than 0.1%. Consequently, the inverse method and finite element analysis can be used to determine the mechanical property of the other eggshell types in the further work.

Abstract: Experiment investigation were conducted on square honeycomb structure made out of sugar palm reinforced polylactic acid (PLA). This paper investigate the compression and tensile properties of new and recycled sugar palm/PLA composite. Short fiber were obtain by crushing and then mix with PLA before being hot pressed at 180°C. The 3mm plate were then developed into sandwich square honeycomb structure. The result show small decrement in strength pattern.

Abstract: This paper describes the characterization of conductive PDMS (CPDMS) composites. Composite have been achieved by filling the PDMS with CarbonBlack (CB). Two different methods were used to prepare the CPDMS composites: (A) direct mixing of CB with PDMS (CB-PDMS); (B) dissolving of CB in methanol before mixing with PDMS (CB-Methanol-PDMS). At a certain critical CB concentration, called percolation threshold, the membranes get conductive. Membranes of CPDMS (thickness ≈ 100µm) have been fabricated. CPDMS membranes of method (B) show a smoother surface profile as membranes of method (A). By means of a two–point resistivity measurement, the electrical resistance of CPDMS membranes was measured. With an increase of the CB concentration, the resistance decreases. Membranes of method (B) show a low percolation threshold and a low surface resistivity. Effects of pressure and temperature on the membrane resistance were investigated, too. Around the percolation threshold, the resistance shows the highest sensitivity on pressure and temperature variations. The Young’s modulus of CPDMS membranes exponentially increase with an increase of the CB concentration.

Abstract: Porosity, values of nanohardness and Young’s modulus of the specimens obtained with the method of selective laser melting were measured with optical methods, scanning electron microscopy and Nano Hardness Tester NHT-S-AX-000X device for measuring physicomechanical properties. Ti-45wt%Nb powder obtained with mechanical alloying was used for selective laser melting. The results have shown that increased heat input due to the laser power growth up to 80 W and scanning speed decrease down to 40 mm/s decreases the porosity of the specimen. The nanohardness average value is not sensitive to the changes of scanning modes in the investigated range. The Young’s modulus decreases with energy input increase.

Abstract: Recent studies have focused on the development of metastable beta-type Ti alloys with non-toxic elements such as Nb, Ta, Mo and Zr for biomedical applications. These alloys present low modulus, good mechanical compatibility and good corrosion resistance. Moreover, the processing variables can be controlled to produce microstructures with specific properties. In this regard, the objective of this work was to analyze the electrochemical behavior of Ti-13Nb-12Mo alloy hot forged and aged at 500 °C/24 h. The microstructure was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. The corrosion tests were carried out under a NaCl solution at a temperature of 25 °C. The results showed that under the conditions studied Ti-12Mo-13Nb alloy exhibited passivation, which is desirable for corrosion resistance. Therefore the alloy is a potential alternative for the of Ti-6Al-4V used in orthopedic implants.

Abstract: The mechanical properties of sintered nanostructured Pb_1-xCu_xTe (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) alloy systems were investigated using nanoindentation technique. The powder precursors of the designed systems were prepared by ball milling technique and sintered by hot isostatic pressing. Cu acts as a dopant in these alloy systems, and an increase in its concentration, up to x = 0.1, leads to a more dense and refined nanostructure along with enhancements in both hardness and Young’s modulus. The Cu addition caused an apparent embrittlement in the materials, and spalling of the materials was recognized when x exceeded 0.15. These results imply that design parameters of complex mechanical environments under thermal shocks and vibrations cannot be determined only in terms of hardness and Young’s modulus of thermoelectric systems like Pb_1-xCu_xTe alloys.

Abstract: The mechanical behaviour of non-chiral multi-walled carbon nanotubes under tensile and bending loading conditions was investigated. For this purpose, a simplified finite element model of armchair and zigzag multi-walled carbon nanotubes, which does not take into account the van der Waals forces acting between layers, was tested in order to evaluate their tensile and bending rigidities, as well as the Young’s modulus. The current numerical simulation results are compared with data reported in the literature. The robustness of the simplified model for evaluation of the Young’s modulus of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is discussed.

Abstract: In this article greencomposites based on gypsum reinforced with date palm fibers (DPF) were fabricated and investigated experimentally in terms of thermal and mechanical properties. This paper deals with two aspects, the first one is a study on the influence of fibers sizes and content on thermal diffusivity and Young’s modulus of date palm fibers (DPF) reinforced gypsum composite. The second one is an experimental correlation investigation between Young’s modulus and thermal properties (thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity). According to the results of this study, the Young’s modulus and the thermal diffusivity of the greencomposites is mainly influenced by the interfacial adhesion between the matrix and fibers. The experimental correlation between Young’s modulus and thermal properties shows variant results.
