Using a combination of rheology and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy/velocimetry we demonstrate the existence of shear banding fluctuations under Couette flow of the micellar system 10% w/v cetylpyridinium chloride and sodium salicylate (CPyCl-NaSal) molar ratio 2 : 1 in 0.5 M NaCl in either HO or HO, using both time-averaged and real-time measurements. These shear banding fluctuations are consistent not only with the shear stress fluctuations observed in rheological measurements but also with fluctuations in the change of the constrained fraction of the amphiphile chain (Δ) observed in H-NMR spectroscopy experiments. Using H-NMR spectroscopy on a deuterated probe molecule (-decane) located in the wormlike micellar interior, direct measurement of the shear-induced nematic phase transition is reported.

Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs) are known for their smooth, fully interconnected, and naturally porous characteristics, offering a superior alternative to traditional porous structures. These structures often suffer from stress concentration and a lack of adjustability. Using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), we have fabricated Inconel 625 sheet-based TPMS lattice structures with four distinct topologies: Primitive, IWP, Diamond, and Gyroid.

This work studies numerically the development of adiabatic shear banding (ASB) during high strain-rate compression of AISI 1045 steel. Plane strain and cylindrical axisymmetric compressions are simulated in LS-DYNA, considering rectangular and cylindrical steel samples, respectively. Also, a parametric analysis in height-to-base ratio is conducted in order to evaluate the effect of geometry and dimensional ratio of the sample on ASB formation.

Ti-based bulk metallic glass composites (BMGMCs) containing an formed metastable β phase normally exhibit enhanced plasticity attributed to induced phase transformation or twinning. However, the underlying deformation micromechanism remains controversial. This study investigates a novel deformation mechanism of Ti-based BMGMCs with a composition of TiZrCuNbNiBe (at%).

The decades-long paradigm of continuous and perpetual lamellar twisting constituting banded spherulites has been found to be inconsistent with several recent studies showing discontinuity regions between consecutive bands, for which, however, no explanation has been found. The present research demonstrates, in three different semicrystalline polymers (HDPE, PEG10000 and Pluronic F-127), that sequential transcrystallinity is the predominant mechanism of banded spherulite formation, heterogeneously nucleated on intermittent self-shear-oriented amorphous layers excluded during the crystals' growth. It is hereby demonstrated that a transcrystalline layer can be nucleated on amorphous self-shear-oriented polymer chains in the melt, by a local melt flow in the bulk or in contact with any interface-even in contact with the interface with air, e.
