ABSTRACTNatural and synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds for potential load-bearing bone implants were fabricated by two methods. The natural scaffolds were formed by heating bovine cancellous bone at 1325°C, which removed the organic and sintered the HA. The synthetic scaffolds were prepared by freeze-casting HA powders, using different solid loadings (20–35 vol.%) and cooling rates (1–10°C/min). Both types of scaffolds were infiltrated with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). The porosity, pore size, and compressive mechanical properties of the natural and synthetic scaffolds were investigated and compared to that of natural cortical and cancellous bone. Prior to infiltration, the sintered cancellous scaffolds exhibited pore sizes of 100 – 300 μm, a strength of 0.4 – 9.7 MPa, and a Young’s modulus of 0.1 – 1.2 GPa. The freeze-casted scaffolds had pore sizes of 10 – 50 μm, strengths of 0.7 – 95.1 MPa, and Young’s moduli of 0.1 –19.2 GPa. When infiltrated with PMMA, the cancellous bone- PMMA composite showed a strength of 55 MPa and a Young’s modulus of 4.5 GPa. Preliminary data for the synthetic HA-PMMA composite showed a strength of 42 MPa and a modulus of 0.8 GPa.

The study deals with the development of highly porous undegradable ceramics based on silicon nitride as potential replacement of trabecular bone. These materials were produced using replication method with polyurethane foams as pore-forming agents to achieve similar porous structure to trabecular bone. Prepared porous ceramics had a bimodal pore structure with macro-pores larger than 200 μm and micro-pores smaller than 1 μm in diameter, which are necessary for tissue ingrowths, cell adhesion, adsorption of biological metabolites and nutrition delivery in organism. The microstructure and local mechanical properties (Young’s modulus and Yield strength) were evaluated and compared with human trabecular bone. Results showed that studied porous materials have satisfactory porosity and pore sizes for trabecular bone replacement. Young’s modulus of bone was 12.6 ± 2.23 GPa and porous silicon nitride samples ranged from 10.9 ± 3.38 GPa to 12.9 ± 1.13 GPa. The values of Yield strength of trabecular bone was determined as 493 ± 30.7 MPa and the values of porous samples varied from 250 ± 19.3 MPa to 558 ± 36.5 MPa. Young’s modulus and Yield strength increase with increasing of the pre-sintering temperature and multiple infiltrations.

ABSTRACTElastic and plastic properties of in situ Cu-based composites with Nb, V, and Fe filaments are reviewed. The evidence is presented for a pronounced size dependence of both the ultimate tensile strength and the Young's moduli. In composites with the smallest filaments (d∼50–200Å) and filament densities as high as 1010/cm2 dislocation density reaches values of 1013 cm/cm3. The yield stress of these samples increases dramatically over the predictions based on the “rule of mixtures” and their ultimate tensile strength approaches the estimated theoretical strength of the material (∼2.7GPa). The observed decrease of Young's modulus as a function of inverse wire diameter in the as-drawn composites is attributed to lattice softening due to high density of extended lattice defects. Upon annealing, Young's modulus increases by as much as 100% and exceeds the maximum values calculated from bulk elastic constants. Possible mechanisms leading to modulus enhancement and to related changes in magnetic and superconducting behavior of in situ composites are discussed.

Trabecular bone, widely presented in the ends of long bones and chine, is a typically porous structure which provides a multifunction such as light weight, undertaking load, impact energy buffer and hosting marrow cells. The structure of trabecular is a dominant factor for the strength of cancellous bone. The prediction of the trabecular bone’s mechanical properties depending on the trabecular structure is very useful for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. The object of this study is to establish a relationship between the mechanical properties and topological, morphological parameters of trabecular bone. The 50 3-D data of cancellous bone are selected from the CT images of three caput femurs and disposed in BoneJ, through which the BV/TV, SMI and genus parameters of each samples are obtained. The deformation behaviors of trabecular bone are simulated in ABAQUS through uniaxial compression on the 3-D model derived from stack images. Then linear-regression analyses are conducted on the BV/TV, genus, SMI and apparent Young’s modulus, resulting a high correlation (R^2=0.84) between the Young’s modulus and the hybrid parameter derived from SMI and normalized genus, corresponding to morphological and topological parameter of the samples respectively. The result indicates that it’s promising to establish the relationship between mechanical properties of trabecular bone and their topological and morphological parameters.

AbstractYoung's moduli of hydrogenated Zr-Nb alloys were evaluated by using a multiple elastometer in the temperature range from room temperature to 773 K, based on the cantilever characteristic vibration technique. The decreasing rate of Young's modulus against the temperature was independent on the additive amount of Nb. The Young's modulus for the hydrogen solid solution of Zr-Nb alloys decreased and that those for the alloys with partially precipitated hydride slightly changed with increasing hydrogen content in both of Zr-1.0Nb and Zr-2.5Nb. The decreasing rates with hydrogen content of hydrogen solid solution of Zr-Nb alloys were almost same as that of Zr hydrogen solid solution. This result was considered because all specimens largely consisted of α-zirconium in which the solute hydrogen was found to decrease the Young's modulus.

We report a nanoindentation study of shales on 144 samples from Barnett, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Kimmeridge, Ordovician, and Woodford plays. Mineralogy is found to play an important role in controlling mechanical properties of shales: An increase in carbonate and quartz content is correlated with an increase in Young’s modulus, whereas an increase in total organic content, clay content, and porosity decreases Young’s modulus. We had a close agreement between indentation moduli measured on small samples (millimeter scale) and dynamic moduli calculated from velocity and density measurements made on larger samples (centimeter scale). By taking an average of a large number of indentation Young’s moduli, 100 indentations in our case, and using an appropriate penetration force, nanoindentation technology measured an acceptable average Young’s modulus even for heterogeneous samples such as shale highlighting the potential of applying this technology to plug and perhaps field-scale problems.

AbstractThe macroscopic engineering properties of sandstone are dominated primarily by mineral features in a microscopic scale. This study will investigate the microscopic physical and mechanical properties of the main minerals (quartz, K-feldspar, Na-feldspar and kaolinite) in Yungang Grottoes sandstone, using the molecular mechanics and the molecular dynamics simulations. The microscopic physical properties were represented by density and volume. The microscopic mechanical properties were represented by Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio. The microscopic mechanical properties of the minerals in various directions were then explored. The influences of water molecules and the surrounding temperature on the microscopic physical and mechanical properties of the minerals were furthermore investigated. It is found that the differences in the microscopic densities between the simulated results and those from the open data set are, respectively, 0.37%, 1.15% and 9.16%, for the quartz, Na-feldspar and kaolinite cells; the microscopic mechanical properties of various minerals have a significant anisotropy; the Young’s modulus of halloysite decreases by 75.86% compared with that of kaolinite; as the water molecule number increased from 0 to 5, the Young’s moduli of K-feldspar, Na-feldspar and kaolinite cells decreases by 31.31%, 55.05% and 42.60%, respectively; for each mineral, as the temperature increases from 243.15 to 303.15 K under one atmospheric pressure, the volume increases and the density decreases. Those results may have a theoretical significance for the analysis of microscopic mechanism of hydration in the Yungang Grottoes sandstone.

This paper describes an experimental study of the relationships between thermal diffusivity and mechanical characteristics including Brinell hardness, microhardness, and Young’s modulus of common pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.), and small-leaf lime (Tilia cordata Mill.) wood. A dependence of Brinell hardness and thermal diffusivity tensor components upon humidity for common pine wood is found. The results of the measurement of Brinell hardness, microhardness, Young’s modulus, and main components of thermal diffusivity tensor for three perpendicular cuts are found to be correlated. It is shown that the mechanical properties correlate better with the ratio of longitude to transversal thermal diffusivity coefficients than with the respective individual absolute values. The mechanical characteristics with the highest correlation with the abovementioned ratio are found to be the ratio of Young’s moduli in longitude and transversal directions. Our technique allows a comparative express assessment of wood mechanical properties by means of a contactless non-destructive measurement of its thermal properties using dynamic thermal imaging instead of laborious and material-consuming destructive mechanical tests.

In this study we address the mechanical properties of Sb2S3 nanowires and determine their Young’s modulus using in situ electric-field-induced mechanical resonance and static bending tests on individual Sb2S3 nanowires with cross-sectional areas ranging from 1.1·104 nm2 to 7.8·104 nm2. Mutually orthogonal resonances are observed and their origin explained by asymmetric cross section of nanowires. The results obtained from the two methods are consistent and show that nanowires exhibit Young’s moduli comparable to the value for macroscopic material. An increasing trend of measured values of Young’s modulus is observed for smaller thickness samples.

Y2O3 was added to β-type Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (TNTZ) in order to achieve excellent mechanical performance and low Young’s modulus. TNTZ specimens with 0.05%–1.0% Y are all found to be composed of a β phase. Young’s moduli of TNTZ with 0.05–1.0% Y are all maintained low, and are almost the same as that of TNTZ without Y2O3. The grain size of TNTZ with 0.05%–1.0% Y is smaller than that of TNTZ without Y2O3. Moreover, Y2O3 precipitates can prevent the texture movement, and this effect becomes more obvious with an increase in the Y concentration. The tensile strength of TNTZ is successfully improved by adding Y2O3. TNTZ specimens with 0.2% and 1.0% Y exhibit good balance between the tensile strength and the elongation.

ABSTRACTThe interests of low-k dielectric materials to reduce capacitance in multilevel metal interconnects of integrated circuits are well known in the semiconductor industry. Mechanical properties of low-k film are currently the main issues. Improved hardness and modulus are desirable because, when building a multilayered stack and doing sequential processing, films go through chemical mechanical planarization. In this proceeding, we reports the Young's moduli of the typical low k materials, and the effects of various factors for Young's moduli of materials, such as, structures of precursors, density, and porosity. Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulation with experimental measurements, the Young's moduli of films of amorphous silicon oxide in which 25% of Si-O-Si chains were replaced by Si-(CH3 H3C)-Si, Si-CH2-Si, Si-(CH2)2-Si, Si-(CH2)3-Si, Si-(CH2)4-Si, Si-(CH2)6-Si, were measured and analyzed. The predicted trends of Young's moduli of films formed by above precursors are in good consistent with those observed from experiments. The Young's moduli of materials are largely dependent on the densities of materials. Young's modulus of material increases as the density of the material increases. The chemical properties, chain length, and connectivity of material take effects on the Young's modulus of material. Given the same densities of material the smaller number of cavities per unit volume the material has, the lower Young's modulus it shows. Based on the results, the method of predict mechanical properties of materials by the conjunction of basic experimental measurements and atomistic simulation will be discussed.
