Calculation results show that both the effective elastic modulus and effective shear elastic modulus increase with the increase of the relative density while the effective Poisson ratio decreases. Compared with the currently-existing hexagonal honeycomb model and micromechanics model of composite materials, the micromechanics model of heterogeneous Plateau porous structure in this study is more suitable for characterizing the medium-density porous material and more accurate for predicting the effective elastic constants of the medium-density porous material. Moreover, the obtained explicit expressions of the effective elastic constants in term of the relative density rather than the microstructural parameters for the uniform and regular Plateau porous structure are more convenient to engineering application.展开更多

This raises concern on the long term safety of the recently developed biomechanical compatible titanium alloys with high strength and low modulus. Here we demonstrate via a model alloy, Ti-24 Nb-4 Zr-8 Sn in weight percent, that this group of multifunctional titanium alloys possessing nonlinear elastic deformation behavior is tolerant in fatigue notch damage. The results reveal that the alloy has a high strength-to-modulus（σ/E） ratio reaching2% but its fatigue notch sensitivity（q） is low, which decreases linearly from 0.45 to 0.25 as stress concentration factor increases from 2 to 4. This exceeds significantly the typical relationship between σ/E and q of other metallic materials exhibiting linear elasticity. Furthermore, fatigue damage is characterized by an extremely deflected mountain-shape fracture surface, resulting in much longer and more tortuous crack growth path as compared to these linear elastic materials. The above phenomena can be explained by the nonlinear elasticity and its induced stress relief at the notch root in an adaptive manner of higher stress stronger relief. This finding provides a new strategy to balance high strength and good damage tolerance property of metallic materials.展开更多

The results indicate that Ferromagnetic （FM） phase is more stable than Anti- Ferromagnetic （AFM） and Non-magnetic （NM） ones. In addition, C11-C12 〉 0, C44 〉 0, and B 〉 0 so Co2 VAl is an elastically stable material with high Debye temperature. Also, the BIG ratio exhibits a ductility behavior. The relatively high Curie temperature provides it as a favorable material for spintronic application. It＇s electronic and magnetic properties are studied by GGA ＋U approach leading to a 100% spin polarization at Fermi level.展开更多
