    Abstract:
    This study demonstrates that bond strength can be enhanced by injecting excess electrons or holes into a material by electron beam irradiation. To determine the effect of excess electrons/holes on the interatomic bond strength, fracture toughness tests were performed on single-crystal Si micropillars under various electron-beam irradiation conditions. The fracture toughness under electron beam irradiation was 4%–11% higher than that under non-irradiated conditions. In particular, an increase in strength was large in tests performed under hole-injection conditions. Furthermore, in first-principles calculations of the tensile strength of excess electrons/hole-doped Si, the ideal tensile strength monotonically decreased with an injection in excess electrons and increased monotonically with the injection of holes. This is qualitatively consistent with the experimental result that the fracture toughness increases under hole-injection conditions.
    Several methods are available for the measurement of strength of paper in the thickness direction. However, the values obtained from these methods are highly correlated with each other and also with the in-plane strength measurements. The relationship between z-direction tensile strength and in-plane tensile index of handsheets made at varying extents of pulp beating, types of strength aids and doses of strength aids has been studied. It has been noticed that the z-direction tensile strength of paper can be expressed in terms of in-plane tensile index by a single relationship whether the tensile index is changed by refining, or by adding strength aids, or by increasing the dose of the strength aid. In practice, an appropriate value of tensile index may be specified to ensure adequate performance of the paper even when it is subjected to stresses in z-direction.

    The effects of the tensile rate and samples preparation method on tensile strength and elongation after fracture for PP and PS were studied.The results showed that tensile strength of PP and PS increased with the increasing of tensile rate.But the elongation after fracture of these two materials presented different changes.The tensile strength and elongation after fracture of injection molding samples of PS were much higher than the compression molding samples of PS.The elongation after fracture of injection molding samples of PP increased 69% than the compression molding samples,but the tensile strength did not change obviously.

    In order to survey how to distribute the residual moment widely and efficiently along the irradiation direction, the thermos-elasto-plastic analysis for a thin metal plate subjected laser irradiation is conducted in this paper. In the series of our study, the numerical simulation for multipoint irradiations where a following irradiation is conducted at an adjacent point to the current irradiation point has been examined. In the case of wide irradiation distance, it becomes clear that the residual moment distributes largely and widely, however, valleys are formed in the distribution of residual moment. Therefore, it is considered that the overlapping irradiation is needed. In our previous report, considering it is insufficient to obtain smooth distributions by conducting only one-time overlapping irradiation, two or more times overlapping irradiation has been examined. In the present study, focusing on wider irradiation distance, the effects of irradiation distance and the number of overlapping irradiation on the distribution of residual moment are revealed.
    This tensile test is to mimic the worst-case scenario of the swab being caught on an obstruction when being pulled out of the nasopharyngeal space. It is to determine how much tensile force the swab can withstand without breaking. A variety of different swabs (different materials and different geometries) were tested using the protocol outlined in Section 2 (Tensile Testing Procedure). Not all of the swabs were pre-treated using the Autoclave. For those swabs that were pre-treated using the Autoclave, the tensile tests were performed within 6 hours of completion of the Autoclave pre-treatment, unless otherwise noted. The FormLabs-USF and FormLabs-Northwell were printed at LLNL using FormLabs Surgical Grade V1 Resin on a Form 3B Printer. Results Summary: All FormLabs design and treatment variations (e.g. autoclaving and “aging”) had higher tensile strength compared commercial swabs. Autoclaving degraded the tensile strength. “Aging” after autoclaving improved the tensile strength. “Aging” without autoclaving degraded the tensile strength. No differences were observed in tensile strength with different autoclaving protocols. No significant differences were observed in tensile strength for different batches.

    P92 steel was irradiated with Ar ion up to 10 dpa at 200, 400, and 700 °C. The effect of Ar ion irradiation on hardness was investigated with nanoindentation tests and microstructure analyses. It was observed that irradiation-induced hardening occurred in the steel after Ar ion irradiation at all three temperatures to 10 dpa. The steel exhibited significant hardening at 200 and 700 °C, and slight hardening at 400 °C under Ar ion irradiation. Difference in the magnitude of irradiation-induced hardening at different temperature in the steel is attributed to different changes in the microstructure of the steel that arose from the irradiation. Irradiation-induced hardening in the P92 steel irradiated at 200 °C is attributed to the occurrence of both dislocation loops and other fine irradiation defects during irradiation. Slight hardening in the steel irradiated at 400 °C mainly arises from the annihilation of defect clusters at this temperature. The occurrence of fine Ar bubbles with high number density during the Ar ion irradiation at 700 °C resulted in the significant hardening in the steel.

    ABSTRACT The strength of films extruded from powder blends of corn zein or corn gluten meal (CGM) with low‐density polyethylene was investigated. Tensile strength, percent elongation at break, and elastic modulus of the extruded films were measured. The tensile strength decreased from 13 MPa to ≈10.5 MPa with zein addition, while CGM addition resulted in tensile strength of ≈6 MPa. The higher the level of biological material (CGM or zein) in the films the lower the tensile properties. Films containing CGM exhibited significantly lower tensile properties than those containing zein. Extrusion processing of biological films is a step toward commercial viability.
