Abstract This paper discusses the various methods which have been proposed to determine safe working stresses for high-temperature service. The question of the stability of alloys during the test and in subsequent service is considered, with particular emphasis upon probable changes in creep characteristics during long exposure to stress and temperature. It is shown that published data in general do not admit of extrapolation, and that attempts to estimate total creep in service from such data are not usually satisfactory. The author stresses the need for more fundamental study of the laws governing creep rather than creep tests of many different materials.

Thin film multilayers have been the focus of extensive studies recently due to the interesting properties they exhibit. Since the improvement in properties can be attributed directly to the unique nanoscale microstructures, it is essential to understand the factors affecting the microstructural stability in these nanolayer structures. The intermetallic compound, MoSi2, despite its superior oxidation resistance and high melting point, suffers from inadequate high temperature strength and low temperature ductility, properties which hinder its high temperature structural applications [1]. SiC is a potential second phase reinforcement due to its high temperature strength and thermal compatibility with MoSi2. The addition of SiC in a nanolayered configuration has been shown to exhibit significant increase in hardness after annealing [2]. It has also been shown that when annealed above 900°C, the layers break down and grain growth sets in, with a significant decrease in hardness and. Due to the lack of a thermochemical driving force, the two phases remain separate at all temperatures investigated. In this study, the stability of the MoSi2/SiC nanolayers structure under ion irradiation has been investigated.

The strengthening effect at high temperature produced by a dispersed oxide phase in a metal matrix is seemingly dependent on at least two major contributors: oxide particle size and spatial distribution, and stability of the worked microstructure. These two are strongly interrelated. The stability of the microstructure is produced by polygonization of the worked structure forming low angle cell boundaries which become anchored by the dispersed oxide particles. The effect of the particles on strength is therefore twofold, in that they stabilize the worked microstructure and also hinder dislocation motion during loading.

In this study, a preparation method for the high-temperature pressure sensor based on the piezoresistive effect of p-type SiC is presented. The varistor with a positive trapezoidal shape was designed and etched innovatively to improve the contact stability between the metal and SiC varistor. Additionally, the excellent ohmic contact was formed by annealing at 950 °C between Ni/Al/Ni/Au and p-type SiC with a doping concentration of 1018cm−3. The aging sensor was tested for varistors in the air of 25 °C–600 °C. The resistance value of the varistors initially decreased and then increased with the increase of temperature and reached the minimum at ~450 °C. It could be calculated that the varistors at ~100 °C exhibited the maximum temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of ~−0.35%/°C. The above results indicated that the sensor had a stable electrical connection in the air environment of ≤600 °C. Finally, the encapsulated sensor was subjected to pressure/depressure tests at room temperature. The test results revealed that the sensor output sensitivity was approximately 1.09 mV/V/bar, which is better than other SiC pressure sensors. This study has a great significance for the test of mechanical parameters under the extreme environment of 600 °C.

Abstract Effective separation of water and oil dispersions is considered a critical step in the determination of technical and economic success in the petroleum industry over the years. Moreover, a deeper understanding of the emulsification process and different affected parameters is essential for cost-effective oil production, transportation, and downstream processing. Numerous studies conducted on the concept of dispersion characterization indicate the importance of this concept, which deserves attention by the scientific community. Therefore, a comprehensive review study with critical analysis on significant concepts will help readers follow them easily. This study is a comprehensive review of the concept of dispersion characterization and conducted studies recently published. The main purposes of this review are to 1) Highlight flaws, 2) Outline gaps and weaknesses, 3) Address conflicts, 4) Prevent duplication of effort, 5) List factors affecting dispersion. It was found that the separation efficiency and stability of dispersions are affected by different chemical and physical factors. Factors affecting the stability of the emulsions have been studied in detail and will help to look for the right action to ensure stable emulsions. In addition, methods of ensuring stability, especially coalescence are highlighted, and coalescence mathematical explanations of phenomena are presented.

The protein folded state is the result of the fine balance of a variety of different forces. Even minor structural perturbations may have a significant impact on the stability of these macromolecules. Studies carried out in recent decades have led to the convergent view that proteins are endowed with a flexible spine. One of the open issues related to protein local backbone geometry is the identification of the factors that influence the amplitude of the τ (N—Cα—C) angle. Here, statistical analyses performed on an updated ensemble of X-ray protein structures by dissecting the contribution of the major factors that can potentially influence the local backbone geometry of proteins are reported. The data clearly indicate that the local backbone conformation has a prominent impact on the modulation of the τ angle. Therefore, a proper assessment of the impact of the other potential factors can only be appropriately evaluated when small (φ, ψ) regions are considered. Here, it is shown that when the contribution of the backbone conformation is removed by considering small (φ, ψ) areas, an impact of secondary structure, as defined byDSSP, and/or the residue type on τ is still detectable, although to a limited extent. Indeed, distinct τ-value distributions are detected for Pro/Gly and β-branched (Ile/Val) residues. The key role of the local backbone conformation highlighted here supports the use of variable local backbone geometry in protein refinement protocols.
