AI Article Synopsis

  • A specialized infrared high-speed camera has been developed to study the temperature changes within growing shear bands in metals at a microscale level.
  • It was discovered that the microstructure of these shear bands is irregular and includes short-range periodic patterns of intense "hot spots" during shear band growth, which contrasts with traditional views of uniform temperature and deformation in these regions.
  • Similar nonuniform structures in shear bands have been observed in natural settings, such as the Earth's lower crust and upper mantle, indicating a connection between these findings and geological processes.

Article Abstract

By using a unique infrared high-speed camera especially constructed for recording highly transient temperature fields at the microscale, we are able to reveal the spatial and temporal microstructure within dynamically growing shear bands in metals. It is found that this structure is highly nonuniform and possesses a transient, short range periodicity in the direction of shear band growth in the form of an array of intense "hot spots" reminiscent of the well-known, shear-induced hydrodynamic instabilities in fluids. This is contrary to the prevailing classical view that describes the deformations and the temperatures within shear bands as being essentially one-dimensional fields. These observations are also reminiscent of the nonuniform structure of localized shear regions believed to exist, at an entirely different length scale, in the earth's lower crust and upper mantle.

Effect of Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride Gel on Zirconia Intaglio Surface: An Study.

J Int Soc Prev Community Dent

October 2024

Department of Basic Dental Science, College of Dentistry, University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq.

Aim: To evaluate the micro-shear bond strength (µ-SBS) of resin-modified glass ionomer cement and to assess the chemical and topographical changes in the zirconia fitting surface induced by acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gel using scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two samples were prepared from two zirconia materials, UPCERA HT White and BruxZir Solid Zirconia, milled by a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing system. From each zirconia sample, six plates were prepared for FTIR and SEM testing.

Simultaneously Enhanced Damping and Stiffness of Amorphous Diaphite.

High-performance damping materials are crucial for numerous applications, yet traditional materials often face a fundamental trade-off between the damping properties and stiffness/strength. Since damping properties of material rely on its inner viscoelastic energy dissipation, it is antagonistic for damping material sustaining high mechanical loads. Recently, an amorphous carbon known as amorphous diaphite (a-DG) was reported, featuring a heterogeneous two-phase composition of nanodiamonds and disordered multilayer graphene (ND/DMG).

Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is often used by researchers to understand the texturization mechanisms of plant proteins. High Moisture Extrusion-Cooking (HMEC) is the main process used for their texturization by heating, mechanical shearing, and subsequent cooling of a high-moisture mixture, which causes denaturation and restructuration of proteins, resulting in an anisotropic product, commonly called "meat analog". Researchers try to link the properties of extrudates to the secondary conformation of proteins, which are supposed to aggregate and align in the flow direction within the die.

Multilateral shearing interferometers (multi-LSIs) utilize the phase difference information of multiple shear directions with high accuracy and strong noise resistance. However, the interferogram fringe contrast of multi-LSIs can reverse due to the effect of contrast modulation, leading to incorrect measurement result. This issue has lacked comprehensive quantitative research to effectively guide the elimination of its effects.
