Abstract: Although many researches on the dynamic behavior of honeycombs have been reported, the strain rate effect of parent materials was frequently neglected, giving rise to the underestimated plateau stress and energy absorption ...

Abstract: The elevatedtemperature indentation has been utilized to measure the elevatedtemperature mechanical properties of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), which have a major influence on their thermomechanical characteristics and ...

Abstract: The polymer network of a nanocomposite (NC) hydrogel is physically crosslinked by nanoclay. Recently reported high toughness of nanocomposite (NC) hydrogels highlights the importance of their dissipative properties. The ...

Abstract: The field-dependent Young's modulus shows a promising application in the design and miniaturization of phononic crystals, tunable mechanical resonators, interdigital transducers, etc. With the multifield bulge-test instrument ...

Abstract: Current studies on tailoring the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of materials focused on either exploring the composition of the bulk material or the design of composites which strongly depend on a few negative CTE ...
