Recent developments in focused ion beam (FIB) milling and nanomechanical sensing technologies have enabled the fabrication of microspecimens and their mechanical testing at the small scale. One of the most recent micromechanical testing techniques is micropillar compression, where a microcylindrical specimen is milled by FIB and it is tested under uniaxial compression using a nanoindenter. In this study we utilize this technique to investigate the mechanical behavior of Cu-Nb nanolayers. The samples were prepared by magnetron sputtering on single crystal silicon wafers and their microstructure was investigated by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The micropillars with 1 μm diameter and 2.5 μm height were fabricated by FIB milling and tested using a nanoindenter with a flat diamond punch. The micropillar compression technique enables the direct measurement of the elastic modulus and the yield strength of the pillars, and provide insight to the high strength of nanostructured materials.

Predicting the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams using artificial neural networks
Mansour, MY; Dicleli, Murat; Lee, JY; Zhang, J (Elsevier BV, 2004-05-01)
The application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the ultimate shear strengths of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with transverse reinforcements is investigated in this paper. An ANN model is built, trained and tested using the available test data of 176 RC beams collected from the technical literature. The data used in the ANN model are arranged in a format of nine input parameters that cover the cylinder concrete compressive strength, yield strength of the longitudinal and transverse reinforc...

We report the development of an advanced sensor for atomic force-guided scanning Hall probe microscopy whereby both a high mobility heterostructure Hall effect magnetic sensor and an n-Al0.4Ga0.6As piezoresistive displacement sensor have been integrated in a single III-V semiconductor cantilever. This allows simple operation in high-vacuum/variable-temperature environments and enables very high magnetic and topographic resolution to be achieved simultaneously. Scans of magnetic induction and topography of a...

Scientists in terahertz (THz) wave technologies have benefited from the recent developments in ultrafast laser technologies and RF technologies and applied these new gained techniques into characterizing a wide variety of phenomena. Undoubtedly, the most successful of these applications has been in the development of time-domain terahertz spectroscopic and imaging systems which has been utilized in the characterization of dielectrics and semiconductors. This pulsed technique has allowed users to characteriz...
Experimental and numerical analysis of a bolted connection in steel transmission towers
Baran, Eray; Sen, Gokmen; Draisawi, Ammar (2016-06-01)
This paper presents an integrated numerical and experimental study on a bolted splice connection used in main legs of steel lattice transmission towers. At specific locations, where the number of angle sections in built-up cross section of main leg members changes, the complex geometry around the connection region results in eccentricities in the load path and indirect load transfer. Such complex configurations and uncertainties in the load path have led to overdesigned connections with increased number of ...
