Comparative experimental studies of the elastic characteristics of commercial shape memory TiNi alloys (Nitinol) exposed to different heat treatment have been carried out within the (80 - 300) K temperature range, including the points of premartensitic and martensitic transitions. It was found that the distortion of the crystal structure at the premartensitic transition in the “as prepared” sample is accompanied by pronounced anomalies of the Young's modulus and internal friction. This transition occurs at TS ≈ 270 K both upon heating and cooling. After an additional heat treatment, the premartensitic transition temperatures TSu and TSd upon heating and cooling respectively, shift slightly and the hysteresis turns out to be more pronounced. However, the form of elastic anomalies remains nearly the same. In contrast, for the martensitic transition at T ≈ 220 K, the elastic anomalies are observed only upon cooling, and the temperature and shape of these anomalies undergo significant changes under effect of the heat treatment.

AbstractIn the present work, the influence of Mg on recrystallization kinetics in Al is analyzed by computer simulation. A comprehensive state parameter-based microstructure model is developed, which describes recrystallization in terms of nucleation and growth. The mechanism of solute drag is fully incorporated, thus accounting for the decrease of grain boundary mobility in the presence of impurity atoms. On the basis of the present approach, the solute binding energy between Mg atoms and grain boundaries is assessed and compared to experimentally measured values. Furthermore, the influence of Mg on dislocation production during strain hardening is modeled. The simulations of the composition and temperature-dependent recrystallization kinetics are verified on experimental studies where excellent agreement is achieved. Both simulation and experiment show that increasing Mg content first decelerates and, later on, accelerates recrystallization kinetics.

This paper investigates the strength and deformation characteristics of the sandstone-like material containing the preset filling joints. The test specimens are designed with different height-diameter ratio. The uniaxial compression and shear tests were performed during the experimental studies. The results show that: (1) the failure models of the 3 kinds specimens including ones without joints, ones with "cruciform" joints and ones with "intersecting parallels" joints are similar to the general trend, e.g. X-shaped conjugated single-slope shear failure and single-slope shear failure under compression and shear tests ; (2) under uniaxial compression, the performance of intact specimen is clearly affected by its size, and the strength of jointed one is significantly affected by the weakening of the structure. This impact depends on the joints conditions, e.g. joint density, with filling material or without filling material; (3) Deformation modulus E and Cohesion c have no significant change for the 2 kinds jointed specimens, but the internal friction angle is obviously affected by joints and their fillings. The internal friction angle decreases rapidly with the increase of joints number.

The task of achieving the increase in the weight and velocity of trains being core objective for most railways is inherently associated with solving problems of improving the dynamic qualities of wagons and locomotives during their interaction with the upper structure of the railway track. The strength and stability of rolling stock against derailment in various climatic zones should be ensured together with minimizing operating costs.Analysis of the reliability and performance of the wagon–track system can be conducted based on multivariate dynamic calculations of mathematical models and through experimental studies of dynamic vibrations. Currently, the issues of the influence of changes in the elastic-hysteresis properties of various impact absorber materials under the action of temperature factors on the elements of a multi-mass vibratory system remain insufficiently studied. The purpose of the research described in the article was to analyze the dynamic processes taking place in a multi-mass wagon–track vibratory system under the influence of changes in stiffness and internal friction coefficients of a damping rail component depending on a type of structural material and ambient temperature.The research resulted in elaborating model of multi-mass vibratory wagon–track system. Multivariate model calculations were carried out regarding various stiffness and internal friction parameters of damping elements situated under the rail; the parameters being selected from experimentally constructed dynamic hysteresis. The work presents results of calculations of the reaction forces and deviations in the elements of the vibratory system depending on temperature, type of material, thickness and design of damping elements.


In order to study in depth the impact of vibration on the strength characteristics of clay soils, as well as to develop methods that increase the strength characteristics and contribute to the elimination of seismic shrinkage deformations of clay soils, we conducted research in the field. In field experimental studies, the svaw-12 trailed, smooth vibration roller, manufactured in Germany, was used. We paid special attention to the further behavior of the soil after the vibration and made observations and measurements of soil indicators for two months. The experiments in the field with vibration column showed an increase of soil deformation with increasing duration of the fluctuations, i.e. there is a linear relationship between the increases in soil density on the duration of oscillations. In the process of vibration, there is a sharp decrease in the force of adhesion and the angle of internal friction, which is apparently associated with a violation of the structure of the soil and its compaction. And then at the end of the vibration process, over time, there is an increase in the adhesion (1.5-2 times) and the internal friction angle (1.2 times) of the soil, obviously as a result of the soil acquiring new strength and compaction under the influence of its own weight. This circumstance is also associated with the humidity state of the soil.

Mammalian spindles are generally large and may contain over a thousand microtubules (MTs). For this reason they are difficult to reconstruct in three dimensions and many researchers have chosen to study the smaller and simpler spindles of lower eukaryotes. Nevertheless, the mammalian spindle is used for many experimental studies and it would be useful to know its detailed structure.We have been using serial cross sections and computer reconstruction methods to analyze MT distributions in mitotic spindles of PtK cells, a mammalian tissue culture line. Images from EM negatives are digtized on a light box by a Dage MTI video camera containing a black and white Saticon tube. The signal is digitized by a Parallax 1280 graphics device in a MicroVax III computer. Microtubules are digitized at a magnification such that each is 10-12 pixels in diameter.
