A comprehensive set of cavitation damage data has been obtained in a vibratory facility using water, mercury, lithium, and lead-bismuth alloy as test fluids, and covering temperatures ranging from room temperature to 1500 deg F. Materials tested include a wide variety of metals and alloys. From this data a simple, reasonably precise, damage predicting equation has been derived, including only ultimate resilience as a material property, but also corrections for cavitation “thermodynamic effects” and NPSH. It has been found that of the conventional mechanical properties, ultimate resilience is the most successful in this regard. A direct comparison between venturi and vibratory cavitation damage shows that the relative rankings of materials remain about the same for mercury, and a good correlation is obtained between the mercury data from the venturi and ultimate resilience. Neither statement applies for the water venturi data, possibly because of the greater effects of corrosion in the low intensity cavitation field.

The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.

We designed a novel polyisoprene elastomer with high mechanical properties and autonomous self-healing capability at room temperature facilitated by the coexistence of dynamic ionic crosslinks and crystalline components that slowly reassembled.
