Can we draw any similarities between amorphization by ion irradiation and through mechanical attrition ?

One of the ways through which Crystalline materials turning amorphous is under swift ion irradiation. Crystalline materials can also be amorphized via ball milling, owing to impact-induced crystal...

How to define an anisotropic material with asymmetric elastic compliance/stiffness matrix in ANSYS APDL?

I need to model an anisotropic material in which the Poisson's ratio ν_12 ≠ ν_21 and so on. Therefore, the elastic compliance matrix wouldn't be a symmetric one. In ANSYS APDL, for TB,ANEL...

Why does my protein refolded to beta sheet during thermal denaturation analysis?

Hi! So i attempted to understand a novel protein behavior towards heat application by analyzing its secondary structure change. I subjected the protein to a thermal denaturation analysis using...

Please explain how the plastic input value should be considered from the true stress-strain curve for the bilinear elastoplastic material model ?

I am working on Abaqus/Explicit(Quasistatic ) for the deformation of the auxetic structure model. Please explain how the plastic input value should be considered from the true stress-strain curve...

Is it possible to manufacture polypropylene sheets using a biaxial process?

I know that films and other low-thickness laminated products are produced using biaxial orientation, but is there something similar for sheets with a thickness of around 6 mm? Or are they...

Why am I seeing only one initial maximum in torque-time curves for the fusion of PVC in a Brabender?

We're studying the stability and fusion behavior of multiple PVC compounds in a Brabender. After a few trials, we set the temperature at 195 °C and the rotor speed at 70 rpm. Samples differ in...

What is the reason of appearance of 2 or 3 peaks in zeta potential analysis of sample?

Hello I have prepared metal nanoparticles and did zeta potential. Normally there is a single peak in sample but now there are 3 peaks. I prepared sample for analysis first I prepared 10 mg/mL...

Can someone help me to model a core-shell nanostructure in GDIS and subsequently prepare the fdf file for using in SIESTA?

I am very new to the material modelling in GDIS. So, I want to learn how to model a nanostructure specifically core-shell in GDIS.

What is the difference between creep deformation and stress relaxation ?

I understand the basic definition for both. I found a literature to describe both of them. In the paper, they states: If a stress is applied to a concrete body, the body experiences an elastic...
