Objectives: To determine deformation in phosphate-bonded investment (PBI) materials for "in-service conditions" and to investigate the influence of air bubble pores on deformation at 900 degrees C.
Methods: Surviving high and low strain-rate disc-rupture strength test samples were assessed for deformation. A dental centrifugal casting machine and a dental superplastic-forming machine were used to apply the loads. An indirect technique was used to measure the deformation of investment diaphragms with both a wide pore size distribution and with very low porosity for four investment materials. A total of 128 high strain-rate and 29 low strain-rate samples were investigated. A one-way analysis of variance was carried out.
Results: All but one of the high strain-rate test samples showed measurable deformation. All of the low strain-rate test samples containing pores showed measurable deformation. Six out of 14 samples, in which pores had been eliminated, showed no deformation. There was no statistically significant difference in deformation between samples with no pores and those with a large pore size distribution for either the high or low strain-rate tests (P>0.05).
Significance: PBI must survive all forming procedures without deformation if the resultant prosthesis is to fit. One hundred micrometres is generally recognized as the acceptable tolerance of fit for removable metal-based prostheses. The vast majority of deformations measured during this investigation were considerably greater than 100 microm.

Hydraulic concrete is quite different from normal concrete in the terms of aggregate gradation and construction-induced interfaces. To explore their influences on the dynamic mechanical behaviors of hydraulic concrete, several mesoscale numerical models with different aggregate gradations and interfaces were established and subjected to dynamic compressive or tensile loadings. The results show that aggregate gradation significantly affected hydraulic concrete failure patterns under dynamic loads, but interface effects were less obvious, and stressing uniformity improved with an increasing loading rate.

Bolt connections are widely used in construction and engineering to securely join structural elements. These connections are essential for distributing loads across components and ensuring that structures can withstand external forces. The planned failure of these bolts is of great importance in steel safety barriers (SSBs), as it can directly influence the height of the guardrail and the working width of the SSB during the vehicle impact, which consequently affects the crash consequences.

In this paper, in order to investigate the harmonious relationship between the compression deformation behavior of metastable β titanium alloy and the microstructure evolution, the β solution-treated Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al (Ti-1023) alloy was compressed at room temperature and its deformation behavior was analyzed. Optical microscopy (OM) and field emission electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to study the microstructure evolution of alloys at different strain rates. The results show that the stress-induced martensite transformation (SIMT) is more easily activated by low strain rate compression deformation, which is conducive to improving its comprehensive mechanical properties.

Enhancement of dynamic characteristics of sand through bio-cementation is one of the prospective ground improvement techniques for sustainable development considering seismic loading scenarios. Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has already been established as an efficient and low-cost and sustainable bio-cementation technique. In the present study, engineering characteristics of poorly graded standard Ennore sand of India have been improved through the bio-cementation effects of Sporosarcina pasteurii bacteria using the MICP technique.
