A review of recent developments and state-of-the-art in research and understanding of damage and fatigue of ceramic matrix composites is presented. Both laminated as well as woven configurations are considered. The work on the effects of high temperature on fracture and fatigue of ceramic matrix composites is emphasized, because these materials are usually designed to operate in hostile environments. Based on a detailed discussion of the mechanisms of failure, the problems that have to be addressed for a successful implementation of ceramic matrix composites in design and practical operational structures are outlined. This review article includes 317 references.

This review focuses on the recent developments of high temperature stable anatase TiO2 photocatalyst. Eventhough TiO2 exists in different forms anatase, rutile and brookite, anatase phase stabilization is often the key to obtain the highest photocatalytic performance for TiO2, particularly for the use as an antibacterial and self-cleaning coatings in high temperature processed ceramics. Different methods available for the anatase stabilization in literature are critically reviewed and emphasis is placed on relatively recent developments. Currently available methods of anatase stabilizations are classified in to four categories viz (i) doping with metal ions (ii) doping with non-metal ions (iii) co-doping with metal and non-metal ions and (iv) dopant free stabilization by oxygen richness. Further to this, the application of these high temperature stabilized anatase TiO2 photocatalyst on various ceramics substrates such as tile, glass and sanitary wares as self-cleaning and antibacterial coatings are also been briefly discussed.

ABSTRACTRecent developments in superconductivity have taken 77 K superconducting electronics from a dream to a likelihood. Rather than following the conventional path by developing Josephson junction-based devices, this paper discusses the unique possibilities of hybrid superconductor/semiconductor devices. The two devices discussed are a true three-terminal hybrid resonant tunneling transistor and the semiconductor-coupled Josephson junction. Also, a list is given of as yet uninvestigated issues concerning the new superconductors and their proximity effects with semiconductors -issues that are critical to the operation of these hybrid superconductor/semiconductor devices.

Design for cyclic loading is emerging as a key question for next generation power systems. Recent developments in techniques for cyclic stress analysis have significant implications for high temperature design. In the same way that limit load analysis is now being used to overcome the difficulties and guesswork of stress classification for steady primary loads, so shakedown and ratcheting analysis can eliminate the more difficult problems of stress classification for cyclic loads. The paper shows how reference stresses defined for shakedown and ratcheting provide rapid and conservative information for design against rupture and creep damage, deformation and strain accumulation, and ratcheting. These techniques will provide additional insights to designers and are likely to augment rather than replace, existing options. These ideas have existed in the research literature for some time, but have now become more accessible by the general industry with a new analysis technique in a commercial finite element code. Examples are given which demonstrate the methodology for nozzles having non-thermal secondary stresses, and prediction of long-term distortion in thermal shock problems.

There are many similarities between available procedures used for defect assessment. They have been developed as a result of experience gained from material-specific programs and have often been verified using the same data. One recently updated document covering life assessment procedures under creep and creep/fatigue crack growth conditions is BS 7910. This document takes into account some of the most recent developments in the subject, including some from the British Energy R5 Procedure. Future developments in defect assessment procedures will follow the route of simplified and unified codes covering defect behaviour in the low to high temperature range. In this paper, the relevance of the insignificant creep curves in RCC-MR for defect free structures and the creep exemption criteria in BS7910 are examined. Then, an overview is given of some European developments in defect assessment methods for Fitness-for-Service assessment, based on recent and current projects such as the EC thematic network FITNET.

AbstractThe functional properties of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA's) are used succesfully at present in a variety of industrial and medical applications. The use of these materials in smart structures is now emerging in the field of aeronautic/space technology. Many applications require higher operating temperatures than available to date, or higher cooling rates and/or a higher number of cycles. For this purpose the properties and fabricability of commercial alloys as Ni-Ti-(X), Cu-Al-Ni or Cu-Zn-Al are being adjusted and improved. Other feasible alloys are being developed. The research and development is directed towards the control of the stress, strain, temperature and time dependence of shape memory properties for a stable in-service behaviour. In this paper the various approaches taken up in recent years by academic and industrial laboratories for developing high temperature SMA's are reviewed.

Recent developments of perturbation theory at finite temperature based on effective field theory methods are reviewed. These methods allow the contributions from the different scales to be separated and the perturbative series to be reorganized. The construction of the effective field theory is shown in detail for ϕ4 theory and QCD. It is applied to the evaluation of the free energy of QCD at order g5 and the calculation of the g6 term is outlined. Implications for the application of perturbative QCD to the quark–gluon plasma are also discussed.
