Recently, stress, strain, strain-rate dependent curves for cemented carbide have become an established tool for evaluating the mechanical properties. In this paper, related strain-rate dependent data of a K05 insert were employed to define the developed stress and strain fields occurring in the compound coating-substrate at impact forces of various durations. In this way, the occurring maximum strains at various impact loads and times were analytically calculated. These maximum values and related fatigue endurance coating strain-rate dependent limits were consequently used to validate published coating fatigue critical impact forces associated with certain impact times.

Knowing the material properties of the musculoskeletal soft tissue could be important to develop rehabilitation therapy and surgical procedures. However, there is a lack of devices and information on the viscoelastic properties of soft tissues around the lumbar spine. The goal of this study was to develop a portable quantifying device for providing strain and stress curves of muscles and ligaments around the lumbar spine at various stretching speeds. Each sample was conditioned and applied for 20 repeatable cyclic 5 mm stretch-and-relax trials in the direction and perpendicular direction of the fiber at 2, 3 and 5 mm/s. Our device successfully provided the stress and strain curve of the samples and our results showed that there were significant effects of speed on the young’s modulus of the samples (p < 0.05). Compared to the expensive commercial device, our lower-cost device provided comparable stress and strain curves of the sample. Based on our device and findings, various sizes of samples can be measured and viscoelastic properties of the soft tissues can be obtained. Our portable device and approach can help to investigate young’s modulus of musculoskeletal soft tissues conveniently, and can be a basis for developing a material testing device in a surgical room or various lab environments.

A mechanically robust infrared high-index coating material is essential to the infrared interference coatings. Lead germanium telluride (Pb1-xGexTe) is a pseudo-binary alloy of IV-VI narrow gap semiconductors of PbTe and GeTe. In our investigation, the hardness and Young’s modulus of thin films of Pb1-xGexTe, which were deposited on silicon substrates using electron beam evaporation, were identified by means of nanoindentation measurement. It is demonstrated that layers of Pb1-xGexTe have greater hardness and Young’s modulus compared with those of PbTe. These mechanical behaviors of layers can be linked to a ferroelectric phase transition from a cubic paraelectric phase to a rhombohedral, ferroelectric phase. Moreover, the strength loss in the layers of Pb1-xGexTe can be also explained in light of strong localized elastic-strain fields in concentrated solid solutions.

A number of nanocrystalline ceramics have been fabricated by the gas phase condensation technique. The mechanical properties of one of the first ceramics produced by this method, nanophase TiO2, have been discussed in an earlier study.1 This paper reports a similar study undertaken to examine the properties of nanocrystalline ZnO. Nanoindenter techniques are used to determine hardness, Young's modulus, and strain rate sensitivity in ultra-fine grained ZnO. Significant properties variations are experienced within a given sample, indicating a large degree of microstructural inhomogeneity. Nevertheless, a distinct evolution in properties can be observed as a function of sintering temperature. Young's modulus and hardness values increase almost linearly with increasing sintering temperature, and, in addition, there also appears to be a linear correlation between the development of the two materials properties. In contrast, strain rate sensitivity is shown to have an inverse dependence on sintering temperature. This dependence appears to be linked to the strong influence of grain size on strain rate sensitivity, so that the lower sintering temperatures, which provide the finer grain sizes, tend to promote strain rate sensitivity. The results of this study are strikingly similar to those obtained earlier for nanophase TiO2, and they indicate that the earlier results could probably be generalized to a much broader range of nanocrystalline ceramics.

Texture is an important attribute in the quality assessment of processed food products. Recently, Young's modulus is identified as one of the most important indicators of food texture. However, there is much ambiguity in the literature about quantification and standards for texture analysis. In this paper, the sensitivity of Young's modulus (and thus texture) towards the applied deformation rate, sample shape and size, moisture content is studied experimentally for potato and sweet potato samples. We found that Young's moduli vary by as much as 54% depending on the rate of applied strain, indicating the need for test standards. The strain rate dependent behaviour exhibits the viscoelastic nature of the potato samples, which was further validated by stress relaxation and cyclic tests. Based on our experimental iterations and associated finding of the work, we propose the need for a standardised procedure for measuring Young's modulus and texture analysis. We expect this work to serve as a crucial step toward standardised texture measurement during thermal processing of food products.
