The structural properties, elastic anisotropy, electronic structures and work function of D022-type Al3TM (TM = Sc, Ti, V, Y, Zr, Nb, La, Hf, Ta) are studied using the first-principles calculations. The results indicate that the obtained formation enthalpy and cohesive energy of these compounds are in accordance with the other calculated values. It is found that the Al3Zr is the most thermodynamic stable compound. The mechanical property indexes, such as elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and Vickers hardness are systematically explored. Moreover, the calculated universal anisotropic index, percent anisotropy and shear anisotropic factors of D022-type Al3TM are analyzed carefully. It demonstrates that the shear modulus anisotropy of Al3La is the strongest, while that of Al3Ta is the weakest. In particular, the density of states at Fermi level is not zero, suggesting that these phases have metal properties and electrical conductivity. More importantly, the mechanisms of correlation between hardness and Young’s modulus are further explained by the work function. Finally, the experimental design proves that D022-Al3Ta has an excellent strengthening effect.

The three-dimensional (3D) diamond-like semiconductor materials Si-diamondyne and Ge-diamondyne (also called SiC4 and GeC4) are studied utilizing density functional theory in this work, where the structural, elastic, electronic and mechanical anisotropy properties along with the minimum thermal conductivity are considered. SiC4 and GeC4 are semiconductor materials with direct band gaps and wide band gaps of 5.02 and 5.60 eV, respectively. The Debye temperatures of diamondyne, Si- and Ge-diamondyne are 422, 385 and 242 K, respectively, utilizing the empirical formula of the elastic modulus. Among these, Si-diamondyne has the largest mechanical anisotropy in the shear modulus and Young’s modulus, and Diamond has the smallest mechanical anisotropy in the Young’s modulus and shear modulus. The mechanical anisotropy in the Young’s modulus and shear modulus of Si-diamondyne is more than three times that of diamond as determined by the characterization of the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value. The minimum thermal conductivity values of Si- and Ge-diamondyne are 0.727 and 0.524 W cm−1 K−1, respectively, and thus, Si- and Ge-diamondyne may be used in the thermoelectric industry.

Cubic Symmetry

Based on first-principle calculations, the mechanical anisotropy and the electronic and optical properties of seven kinds of carbon materials are investigated in this work. These seven materials have similar structures: they all have X-type structures, with carbon atoms or carbon clusters at the center and stacking towards the space. A calculation of anisotropy shows that the order of elastic anisotropy in terms of the shear modulus, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of these seven carbon materials with similar structure is diamond < supercubane < T carbon < Y carbon < TY carbon < cubane-diyne < cubane-yne. As these seven carbon materials exhibit cubic symmetry, Young’s modulus has the same anisotropy in some major planes, so the order of elastic anisotropy in the Young’s modulus of these seven main planes is (111) plane < (001) plane = (010) plane = (100) plane < (011) plane = (110) plane = (101) plane. It is also due to the fact that their crystal structure has cubic symmetry that the elastic anisotropy in the shear modulus and the Poisson’s ratio of these seven carbon materials on the seven major planes are the same. Among the three propagation directions of [100], [110], and [111], the [110] propagation direction’s anisotropic ratio of the sound velocity of TY carbon is the largest, while the anisotropic ratio of the sound velocity of cubane-diyne on the [100] propagation direction is the smallest. In addition, not surprisingly, the diamond has the largest Debye temperature, while the TY carbon has the smallest Debye temperature. Finally, TY carbon, T carbon and cubane-diyne are also potential semiconductor materials for photoelectric applications owing to their higher or similar absorption coefficients to GaAs in the visible region.

Cubic Metals

The structural, mechanical, and thermodynamic properties of refractory metals Rh, Ir, W, Ta, Nb, Mo, Re, and Os have been systematically investigated by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. Comparative studies reveal that Young's modulus (E = 636.42 GPa), shear modulus (G = 256.81 GPa), bulk modulus (B = 406.55 GPa), and microhardness (H = 44.69 GPa) of hexagonal Os are the highest, which reveals Os has the best overall mechanical properties. The body-centered cubic Nb has the smallest Young's modulus (E = 94.76 GPa), shear modulus (G = 33.62 GPa), bulk modulus (B = 174.50 GPa), and hardness (H = 2.04 GPa). Based on the ratio of bulk to shear modulus, it is judged that Rh, Ir, and Os are brittle materials (B/G < 1.75), and Nb, Ta, Mo, W, and Re exhibit ductile (B/G > 1.75). The elastic anisotropy has also been discussed by plotting both the 3D contours and the 2D planar projections of Young's modulus. For the face-centered cubic metals Rh and Ir and hexagonal close-packed metals Re and Os, the 3D contours of the Young's modulus are very similar, whereas body-centered cubic metals Ta, W, Nb, and Mo exhibit significant difference in elastic anisotropy. The thermodynamic calculations show that Debye temperature and minimum thermal conductivity decreases along Rh, Os, Mo, Ir, Re, W, Ta, Nb sequence. Furthermore, the results can be used as a general guidance for the design and development of high temperature refractory alloy system.

Anisotropies in the elasticity, sound velocity, and minimum thermal conductivity of low borides VB, V5B6, V3B4, and V2B3 are discussed using the first-principles calculations. The various elastic anisotropic indexes (AU, Acomp, and Ashear), three-dimensional (3D) surface contours, and their planar projections among different crystallographic planes of bulk modulus, shear modulus, and Young’s modulus are used to characterize elastic anisotropy. The bulk, shear, and Young’s moduli all show relatively strong degrees of anisotropy. With increased B content, the degree of anisotropy of the bulk modulus increases while those of the shear modulus and Young’s modulus decrease. The anisotropies of the sound velocity in the different planes show obvious differences. Meanwhile, the minimum thermal conductivity shows little dependence on crystallographic direction.

Element Simulation

Polymer matrix filled with ferromagnetic particles is a class of smart materials whose mechanical properties can be changed under different magnetic field. They are usually referred to as magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). A finite element simulation was presented to describe the mechanical behavior of MREs with the nonlinearity of the particle magnetization being incorporated. By introducing the Maxwell stress tensor, a representative volume element (RVE) was proposed to calculate the Young's modulus and shear modulus of MREs due to the applied magnetic field. The influences of the applied magnetic field and the particle volume fractions in the shear modulus and Young's modulus were studied. Results show that the shear modulus increases with the magnitude of the applied magnetic field, while the Young's modulus decreases.

The measuring of the constants of single-crystals requires the availability of crystals of relatively big size. In this paper the elastic constants of the single crystals of magnesium alloy with zinc, zirconium, and rare earth metals (REM) were determined by means of the experimental anisotropy of Young’s modulus and integral characteristics of texture (ICT), which were found from pole figures. Using these constants the anisotropy of Young’s modulus of alloy sheet ZE10 was calculated. Deviation of calculated values from experimental values did not exceed 2%.

The elastic Young’s modulus and shear modulus of bone-particle impregnated polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has been measured experimentally at room temperature as a function of bone particle concentration. It was found that the moduli increased with increasing bone particle content. This increase was less than the stiffness increase predicted by higher-order composite theory [1, 2] under the assumption of perfect bonding between particles and matrix. It was concluded that a bond existed but that it was not a perfect bond.
