The abundance of elements in the universe was plotted on the TC-YM diagram. The most abundant elements show the unique pattern drawing a quadrant. Next, the neutron multiple number, the number of neutron per proton in the nucleus, was introduced. The neutron multiple numbers of elements show the same pattern as the abundance of elements on the diagram. As a result, the abundance of elements shows a good correlation with neutron multiple numbers of elements. With increasing neutron multiple number, the abundance decreases. Besides, the neutron multiple number relates to the materials properties such as the Young’s modulus, thermal conductivity and melting temperature of elements.

This paper describes the materials properties of galvanised fencing wire, as used in the fabrication of knotted wire fences. A range of physical properties are investigated: tensile strength, ductility in tension, Young’s modulus, three-point bending, and bending span. A range of commercially available wire products were tested. The results show that most, but not all, high tensile wire samples met the minimum tensile and ductility requirements. Young’s modulus results failed to provide any meaningful insights into wire quality. Flexural modulus results also failed to provide any insight into wire quality issues, with no statistically significant differences existing between acceptable and problematic wire batches. The implications are that premature fence failures are unlikely to be caused solely by reduced tensile properties. Existing test methods, including tensile strength and ductility, are somewhat incomplete, perhaps even unreliable, as measures of wire quality.

The elastic Young’s modulus and shear modulus of bone-particle impregnated polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has been measured experimentally at room temperature as a function of bone particle concentration. It was found that the moduli increased with increasing bone particle content. This increase was less than the stiffness increase predicted by higher-order composite theory [1, 2] under the assumption of perfect bonding between particles and matrix. It was concluded that a bond existed but that it was not a perfect bond.

HighlightsSimulation of uniaxial compression was performed with flexible fibers modeled in DEM.Bond-specific DEM parameters were found to be sensitive in uniaxial compression.A calibration technique that is not plunger-dependent is shown and validated.Abstract. To accurately simulate a discrete element method (DEM) model, the material properties must be calibrated to reproduce bulk material behavior. In this study, a method was developed to calibrate DEM parameters for bulk fibrous materials using uniaxial compression. Wheat straw was cut to 100.2 mm lengths. A 227 mm diameter cylindrical container was loosely filled with the cut straw. The material was pre-compressed to 1 kPa. A plunger (50, 150, or 225 mm diameter) was then lowered onto the compressed straw at a rate of 15 mm s-1. This experimental procedure was simulated using a DEM model for different material properties to generate a simulated design of experiment (DOE). The simulated plunger had a travel rate of 40 mm s-1. The contact Young’s modulus, bond Young’s modulus, and particle-to-particle friction DEM parameters were found to be statistically significant in the prediction of normal forces on the plunger in the uniaxial compression test. The DEM calibration procedure was used to approximate the mean laboratory results of wheat straw compression with root mean square (RMS) percent errors of 3.77%, 3.02%, and 13.90% for the 50, 150, and 225 mm plungers, respectively. Keywords: Calibration, DEM, DOE, Flexible DEM particle, Uniaxial compression, Wheat straw.

In this study, we sucsess the fabrication of dense compornent of Ti-20at.%X (X = Cr and Nb) alloys by Selected laser melting (SLM) pwocess, from a mixture of poweder element powders. The volume rasio of pore and non-molten particles is dependent of the enegy density. The difficulty of fabrication of Ti-X alloy comporment is dependent of melting temperature of X element. Thus, Ti-20at.%Cr alloys, which has the lowest melting temperature of X is easier to monufacture of dense comporment. The Ti-20at.%Cr alloys and Ti-20at.%Nb comprise β-Ti single-phase components without any non-molten particles and macroscopic defects. In addtion, the {001}〈100〉 crystallographic texture of these Ti-Cr and Ti-Nb alloys can be controlled effectively by optimizing the SLM parameters. This means that the SLM is key techmelogy of controlling of Young’s modulus and shape at the same time because Young's modulus of be-ta phase in Ti alloys is strongly related to the crystal orientation.

AbstractAn orb web’s prey capture thread relies on its glue droplets to retain insects until a spider can subdue them. Each droplet’s viscoelastic glycoprotein adhesive core extends to dissipate the forces of prey struggle as it transfers force to stiffer, support line flagelliform fibers. In large orb webs, switchback capture thread turns are placed at the bottom of the web before a continuous capture spiral progresses from the web’s periphery to its interior. To determine if the properties of capture thread droplets change during web spinning, we characterized droplet and glycoprotein volumes and material properties from the bottom, top, middle, and inner regions of webs. Both droplet and glycoprotein volume decreased during web construction, but there was a progressive increase in the glycoprotein’s Young’s modulus and toughness. Increases in the percentage of droplet aqueous material indicated that these increases in material properties are not due to reduced glycoprotein viscosity resulting from lower droplet hygroscopicity. Instead, they may result from changes in aqueous layer compounds that condition the glycoprotein. A 6-fold difference in glycoprotein toughness and a 70-fold difference in Young’s modulus across a web documents the phenotypic plasticity of this natural adhesive and its potential to inspire new materials.

This study aimed at investigating the effects of the post material properties on the maximum stress in the root and maximum deformation of the restorative system. Effects of material properties of fiber post on the maximum equivalent stress in the root and the maximum deformation of the restorative system were numerically investigated. Results show that the maximum equivalent stress in the root can be decreased by 8.3% and the maximum deformation of the restorative system decreased by 10% compared with corresponding maximum values if changing Young’s modulus, Shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio in the range studied here. The maximum equivalent stress in the root is more sensitive to Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio while the deformation of the restorative system is more seriously affected by the Shear modulus of the post material.

A great deal of engineering effort is focused on changing mechanical material properties by creating microstructural architectures instead of modifying chemical composition. This results in meta-materials, which can exhibit properties not found in natural materials and can be tuned to the needs of the user. To change Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus, many current designs exploit mechanisms and hinges to obtain the desired behavior. However, this can lead to nonlinear material properties and anisotropy, especially for large strains. In this work, we propose a new material design that makes use of curved leaf springs in a planar lattice. First, analytical ideal springs are employed to establish sufficient conditions for linear elasticity, isotropy, and a zero Poisson's ratio. Additionally, Young's modulus is directly related to the spring stiffness. Second, a design method from the literature is employed to obtain a spring, closely matching the desired properties. Next, numerical simulations of larger lattices show that the expectations hold, and a feasible material design is presented with an in-plane Young's modulus error of only 2% and Poisson's ratio of 2.78×10−3. These properties are isotropic and linear up to compressive and tensile strains of 0.12. The manufacturability and validity of the numerical model is shown by a prototype.
