Indentation Creep Behavior in Ce-Based Bulk Metallic Glasses at Room Temperature

The room temperature creep behaviors of Ce-based bulk metallic glasses were examined by the use of nanoindentation. The creep rate and creep rate sensitivity of Ce-based BMGs were derived from indentation creep curves. The low creep rate sensitivity of Ce-based BMGs indicates that the room temperature creep is dominated by localized shear flow. The experimental creep curves can be described by a generalized Kelvin model. Furthermore, the creep retardation spectrum is calculated for the Ce-based metallic glasses. The results showed that creep retardation spectrum consists of two relatively separated peaks with the well defined characteristic relaxation times.

Strain Rate Dependence of Plastic Flow in Ce-based Bulk Metallic Glass During Nanoindentation

The strain rate dependence of plastic deformation of Ce60Al15CU10Ni15 bulk metallic glass was studied by nanoindentation. Even though the ratio of room temperature to the glass transition temperature was very high (0.72) for this alloy, the plastic deformation was dominated by shear banding under nanoindentation. The alloy exhibited a critical loading rate dependent serrated flow feature. That is, with increasing loading rate, the alloy exhibited a transition from less prominent serrated flow to pronounced serrated flow during continuous loading but from serrated to smoother flow during stepped loading.

An Improved Ce/Se Scheme And Its Application To Detonation Propagation

An improved two-dimensional space-time conservation element and solution element ( CE/ SE) method with second-order accuracy is proposed, examined and extended to simulate the detonation propagations using detailed chemical reaction models. The numerical results of planar and cellular detonation are compared with corresponding results by the Chapman-Jouguet theory and experiments, and prove that the method is a new reliable way for numerical simulations of detonation propagation.

Plastic deformation in Ce-based bulk metallic glasses during depth-sensing indentation

The deformation behavior and the effect of the loading rate on the plastic deformation features in (numbers indicate at.%) Ce60Al15Cu10Ni15, Ce65Al10Cu10Ni10Nb5, Ce68Al10Cu20Nb2, and Ce70Al10Cu20 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were investigated through nanoindentation. The load-displacement (P-h) curves of Ce65Al10Cu10Ni10Nb5, Ce68Al10Cu2, and Ce70Al10Cu20 BMGs exhibited a continuous plastic deformation at all studied loading rate. Whereas, the P-h curves of Ce60Al15Cu10Ni15 BMG showed a quite unique feature, i.e. homogeneous plastic deformation at low loading rates, and a distinct serrated flow at high strain rates. Moreover, a creep deformation during the load holding segment was observed for the four Ce-based BMGs at room temperature. The mechanism for the appearance of the "anomalous" plastic deformation behavior in the Ce-based BMGs was discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Simple phenomenological determination of contact stiffness and elastic modulus of Ce-based bulk metallic glasses through nanoindentation

The viscoelastic deformation of Ce-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with low glass transition temperature is investigated at room temperature. Contact stiffness and elastic modulus of Ce-based BMGs cannot be derived using the conventional Oliver-Pharr method [W. C. Oliver and G. M. Pharr, J. Mater. Res. 7, 1564 (1992)]. The present work shows that the time dependent displacement of unloading segments can be described well by a generalized Kelvin model. Thus, a modified Oliver-Pharr method is proposed to evaluate the contact stiffness and elastic modulus, which does, in fact, reproduce the values obtained via uniaxial compression tests.

Diagnóstico de las empresas familiares con estudiantes de Lic. En Agronegocios, modalidad regular, Facultad de Desarrollo Rural, Universidad Nacional Agraria, año 2014

La empresa familiar forma parte fundamental de las estructuras productivas, tanto de las economías industrializadas como en vías de desarrollo; a pesar de carecer de datos rigorosos que permitan corroborarlo, la empresa familiar tiene un papel preponderante en la generación de riqueza nacional; el objetivo fundamental del estudio fue conocer el grado de conocimiento y el rol que ejercen los estudiantes en una empresa familiar y el número de empresas familiares existentes en la carrera de Lic. Agronegocios, Facultad de Desarrollo Rural, Universidad Nacional Agraria- Managua, esto se realizó a través de la implementación de encuesta a los estudiantes que formaron parte de la muestra logrando realizar posteriormente un análisis de datos que facilitó la redacción del documento presentado a continuación; la ejecución de esta temática se dio debido la poca importancia que se le ha dado al tema de las empresas familiares dentro de la economía de Nicaragua a pesar de que estas aportan el 50% del PIB, la falta de información y estudios relacionados que nos ayuden a conocer la realidad de estas empresas tanto en el ámbito organizativo como en el económico; de las negocios encontrados entre la muestra el 33% forma parte de las MIPYMES divididos el 21% en la micro empresas, el 8% en la pequeña empresa y el 3% en la mediana empresa, el 67% restante de la muestra total son negocios de emprendimiento categorizados así por facturar menos de 37360.83 dólares; por otro parte el 18% de los estudiantes matriculados en la Lic. Agronegocios forman parte de una empresa familiar de este porcentaje el 10% tiene conocimiento amplio sobre la temática, un 14 % posee únicamente ciertos conocimientos derivados de algunos temas relacionados mientras que el 76% no tienen ningún tipo de conocimiento acerca de la temática.
