We report a study on the static and dynamic fatigue behavior of unidirectional, aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) ropes. By bench marking against the behavior of graphite fiber, it is found that the static fatigue strength of SWCNT ropes is at least twice that of graphite fiber within 104s and is similar t…

Formation of Cu(II) complexes of 1‐alkyl‐2‐ethylimidazoles (where alkyl=propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, and octyl) has been studied by using the liquid‐liquid partition method, at 25°C and a fixed ionic strength of the aqueous phase (I=0.5; (HL)NO3, KNO3). The complexes were extracted with 2‐pentanone, 2‐butanol, isoamy…

TiO 2 (0–20 mol%)‐3 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) ceramics were prepared by a solid‐state reaction. With increasing TiO 2 content in 3YSZ, the structure of the main phase changed from a monoclinic, tetragonal, and cubic mixture to a tetragonal single phase. Increasing TiO 2 content in 3YSZ caused an increase…

Stress-induced nucleation of nanoscale grains (nanograins) in deformed nanocrystalline metals and ceramics is theoretically described as a process initiated by intergrain sliding and/or lattice slip. The nanograin nucleation occurs through splitting and migration of grain boundaries containing disclination dipoles pro…

Microstructural evolution of silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) and SiAlON materials and its influence on creep resistance is reviewed. Grain size, grain morphology, and the ratio of α‐ to β‐phase grains play a part in resistance to creep. The glassy, intergranular phase typically has the strongest influence on creep. Creep…

First-principles calculations based on density functional theory are performed to study structural and electronic properties of crystalline bundles of (n,0) zigzag and (0,n) armchair-type single-walled boron nanotubes (SWBNT) with small diameter, about 4-6. The results predict a modification in the properties of SWBNT…
