Being a thermo-viscoelastic material, the mechanical properties of EPS geofoam are affected by temperature.
All of Findley’s material parameters (nF, mF, e0F, seF, and smF) were assumed to be: (1) material dependent; (2) stress, strain, and time independent (for the stress-strain range over which the material parameters are determined); and (3) dependent on various environmental factors such as temperature and water content of the material.
Viscoelastic Mechanical Models.
This would suggest that the influence of temperature on the creep model affects mainly the viscous elements while the spring element is approximately independent of the temperature in the specified stress range.

In this paper, the characteristics of the high temperature oxidation properties of Fe-Si alloys are discussed in terms of oxide growth mechanism, kinetics and phase morphology.
Moreover, the scale properties affect the final steel surface quality and its response to further processing.
Controlling the oxidation kinetics and mechanical properties of the oxides can then simplify pickling and improve the steel downstream behaviour [1].
The reaction of an oxidant and a metal may depend on a number of factors Depending on temperature, time, atmosphere conditions and steel chemistry, energy barriers develop, which must be overcome for an oxide to grow.
The presence of these defects will affect transport of reactants through the scale.

High ultimate strain, short molding cycle, recyclability and re-processibility are some of the driving factors for their increasing uses.
Using this way, composites with required mechanical properties for engineering applications can be projected and fabricated with a high flexibility in fiber kind selection and their proportions as well as laying-up method of fabrics[1].
And the yarns in fiber bundles would not straight with lighter molding pressure, which also leads to bad mechanical properties of composite laminate.
The processing parameters should be optimized in order to decreased the void and obtain the high properties of composites.
Hence, the mechanical properties of the composites will be satisfied.

Introduction For the development of Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS), micromachining technology of three-dimensional structure shape of micro parts is one of the key technologies.
The fracture toughness and hardness of the target materials are critical parameters affecting the material removal rate in AAJM process of engineering ceramics.

Some investigations on the machined surface properties of AAJM have been carried out.
The effect of AAJM on the mechanical properties of the workpiece whether or not it results in any strength degradation should be carefully taken into consideration, but no strength degradation took place for the AAJM of ceramics surface (damage-free) by comparing the lapping samples and AAJM samples with the 4-point bending test [8-13].

When modified WRP is added into rubber matrix, the mechanical properties of composite and compatibility between virgin rubber and WRP are improved.
On the one hand, B whose the lowest crosslinking results in the best flexibility is good for dynamic mechanical properties.
On the other hand, the existence of B impairs physical and mechanical properties of virgin rubber/WRP compound.
So the direct use of WRP is limited by the negative effects on mechanical properties of compounds.
Unfortunately, this method usually cuts off the main rubber chains, which impairs mechanical properties of vulcanizates.

Gold [Au] wires have always been to the first choice of material for the wires, ranging from purities of 2N (99%) to 4N (99.99%), due to its electrical and thermal properties.
The rate at which the heat is dissipated along the wire is dependent on the material’s thermal properties.
The solid-state reaction of various binary metal systems behaves differently, as different metals have different atomic properties and behavior.
The design of the experiment has three center points, and two levels with three factors: US Energy (Current), Force and Initial Force.
Among these three (3) factors, only the US Energy (Current) parameter will only be the variable, the other two will be constants.
