Advancements in shape memory alloys show promise for heating and cooling applications, emphasizing controlled thermal ...

Young’s modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity, is a crucial material property that defines the stiffness of a ...

Elastic deformation continues until the yield stress of the material if it is ductile, after which the material plastically deforms. A brittle material fractures before any plastic deformation occurs ...

Prof. Sun's team then fabricated a [100]-textured Ti 78 Nb 22 martensitic polycrystal, which, when subjected to linear elastic deformation for heat pumping, exhibits a reversible temperature ...

Oxford Instruments has announced the winners of the WITec Paper Award 2025, celebrating outstanding scientific publications ...

This work shows that multi-DOF metamaterials are limited by their energy-driven deformation, restricting their mechanical ...

Large elastic deformation materials are in high demand because they offer greater flexibility in everyday sporting goods and medical equipment. The majority of metals and alloys can theoretically ...

Researchers at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a novel elastic alloy called Ti₇₈Nb₂₂, which achieves remarkable ...

They also experimentally identified a coupling between elastic stresses and the foam deformation rate. Better understanding foam characteristics could. ultimately, ...

Bearing deflection or yield is elastic deformation occurring between balls and raceways because of external loads. Deflection increases nonlinearly as external load increases.
