This study was carried out to investigate the effects of grain size on mechanical properties in Cu-Sn foil with a thickness of 30 um. The grain size was varied from approximately 7 um to 50 um using heat treatment at 773 K for 2 h to 24 h in a vacuum atmosphere. Tensile test was carried out at room temperature with strain rate of 1mm/min. Typical yield drop phenomenon was observed. Mechanical properties were found to be strongly affected by microstructural features including grain size. The yield strength and tensile strength gradually decreased with increasing the grain size. The strain to fracture also decreased by grain growth. These results could be explained by not only the grain size dependence of yield strength but also the ratio of thickness to grain size dependence of yield strength.

AbstractUtilizing the thermal unblocking of low-temperature remanent magnetization in superparamagnetic (SP) ferrimagnets and the low-temperature demagnetization of multidomain (MD) magnetite remanences, the relative proportions of SP, MD, and singledomain (SD and SD-like) ferrimagnets are estimated in the topmost part of a loess section at Xifeng, China, which covers about the past 130,000 yr. SP ferrimagnets are commonly regarded as pedogenic (authigenic) products while the MD component is believed to have a detrital origin. These measurements, therefore, provide new data which improve our understanding of the characteristics and distribution of the different magnetic grain-size fractions present in loess and soils. In particular, our measurements indicate a larger MD fraction in soil than in loess, a result which indicates that although enhancement of the SP ferrimagnet fraction dominates the increased low-field magnetic susceptibility of paleosols, an enhancement of the MD fraction, probably through leaching, also plays an important role during pedogenesis.

In this research we conducted a sensitivity experimental study where we explored the dependency of the shear strain on the seismic properties of bearings, namely lead rubber bearing (LRB) and super high damping rubber bearing (SHDR). The factors studied were vertical pressure, temperature, shear modulus of the inner rubber (G value), loading frequency, and loading sequence. Six specimens were adopted, i.e., three LRBs and three SHDR bearings. A series of test plans were designed. The seismic characteristics of the bearings were captured through a cyclic loading test, which included post-yield stiffness, characteristic strength, area of a single cycle of the hysteretic loop, equivalent stiffness, and equivalent damping ratio. A whole analysis of variances was then conducted. At the same time, to explore certain phenomena caused by the factors, an extended discussion was carried out. Test results showed that the temperature is the most dominant feature, whereas the G value is the least contributing factor, with the effect of the loading frequency and the loading sequence found between these two. The increment of the post-yielded stiffness for LRB from 100% to 25% is a significant reduction from a low temperature to high one. The slope of the characteristic strength versus the shear strain for LRB under high temperature is larger than the one under low temperature.

Kaolin M1 and M2 studied by X-ray diffraction focus on the mullite phase, which is the main phase present in both products. The Williamson–Hall and Warren–Averbach methods for determining the crystallite size and microstrains of integral breadth β are calculated by the FullProf program. The integral breadth ( β) is a mixture resulting from the microstrains and size effect, so this should be taken into account during the calculation. The Williamson–Hall chart determines whether the sample is affected by grain size or microstrain. It appears very clearly that the principal phase of the various sintered kaolins, mullite, is free from internal microstrains. It is the case of the mixtures fritted at low temperature (1200 °C) during 1 h and also the case of the mixtures of the type chamotte cooks with 1350 °C during very long times (several weeks). This result is very significant as it gives an element of explanation to a very significant quality of mullite: its mechanical resistance during uses at high temperature remains.

Nanometer-sized ZnO crystals with the diameter from 20 nm to 110 nm were prepared by homogenous precipitation method (HPM). The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of as-prepared nanoparticles under excitation at the wavelength of 320 nm were detected. The PL spectra were fitted with Gaussian curves, in which a good fitting consisting of six Gaussian peaks was obtained. We observed that the multi-peak centers do not change much, while the relative amplitude of Gaussian combination to the band-to-band emission decreases rapidly with the increased grain size. It shows that the broadband emission at the lower energy is associated with the surface states.
