Effect of off-stoichiometry, grain size and chemical substitution on microstructure, global structure, electromechanical and energy storage properties of lead free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) based piezoceramics
Ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials, especially the polycrystalline ceramics, are promising candidates for application in pressure sensors, actuators, transducers, ultrasonic motors, energy storage capacitors, ...
Evaluation of Low-stress High-temperature Creep: Insights into the Harper-dorn Creep
The theory of creep behavior of single crystals and polycrystalline materials having large grains at very low-stresses and at very high temperatures, as originally proposed by Harper and Dorn in 1957, has been under constant ...
On the development of Fe-containing high entropy alloys with improved strength at high temperatures
The emergence of new multicomponent high entropy alloys (HEA) has opened up new avenues for development of high performance materials for structural applications [1]. Among all of them, the precipitation strengthened HEAs ...
Investigation of thermoelectric properties of Sn-Te based alloys with microstructural studies
The basic concept of thermoelectricity is the conversion of dissipated heat into electricity with applications in the areas such as automobile engineering, refrigerating coolants, satellites, etc. The thermoelectric figure ...
Smart textiles with Tuneable Architectures for Multifunctional Applications
Innovations in electronics and the rapid developments in communication systems have been unprecedented and made life easier. One such advancement is wireless electronics, where gadgets operate in gigahertz frequencies – ...
Study of gas-fine flow in a packed bed with an application to the ironmaking blast furnace
The iron and steelmaking industry uses coal as the primary reducing agent. The carbon that is the major component of coal is finally released into the environment as carbon dioxide. One of the effective ways to reduce the ...
On the creep behaviour of Ni based solid solution alloys from binary to quaternary
On the creep behavior of Ni based solid solution alloys from binary to quaternary
A power-law relationship between the steady state strain rate (𝜀̇) and imposed stress (σ) is well established so that the 𝜀̇∝𝜎^𝑛, at a ...
Interfacial Engineering of Hierarchical Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Laminates for Mechanical Property Enhancement and Self-healing Ability
Carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy (CFRE) laminates have become a significant component in aircraft industries over the years due to their superior mechanical and highly tunable properties. However, the interfacial area between ...
Enhancement in corrosion resistance of selected high entropy alloys by incorporation of carbon nanotubes
High entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted considerable interest due to their remarkable structural and functional properties. HEAs generally contain 5–13 principal elements with the concentrations of each component lying ...
A Multiscale Study of the Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Vacancy–grain-boundary Interactions
Grain boundaries (GBs) influence many physical and mechanical properties of crystalline materials. This is primarily because of their interactions with other kinds of defects, such as point and line defects. Such interactions ...
