Nanocrystalline metals, because of their distinct features, e.g., high strength, low ductility, pronounced rate dependence, tension-compression asymmetry and susceptibility to plastic instability, has become the subject of intense research over the past two decades. Owing to a large volume fraction of grain boundary (GB) atoms, the deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline metals are different from traditional coarse-grained polycrystals. Indeed, there are several inelastic deformation mechanisms, e.g., GB-diffusion, GB-sliding, dislocations, grain rotation, grain growth and GB- migration, which can be simultaneously operative in nanocrystalline metals. In this work, a three dimensional viscoplastic constitutive model for nanocrystalline metals is presented. Different from most constitutive models where nanocrystalline metals are considered as multi-phase composites with corresponding volume fractions, the proposed model does not assume a parameter for a GB-thickness or GB affected zone. The proposed model is based on several competing grain boundary and grain interior deformation mechanisms. GB-diffusion (Coble creep), GB-sliding, and the grain interior dislocation-mediated-plasticity are the three different types of deformation mechanisms that are assumed to be operative in this work. The first two micro-mechanisms are GB-based, whereas the last one is related with the grain interior. Effects of pressure on the grain boundary diffusion and sliding mechanisms are taken into account. Furthermore, the influence of grain size distribution on macroscopic response is studied. Finally, the model is shown to capture the fundamental mechanical characteristics of nanocrystalline metals. These include grain size dependence of the strength, i.e., both the traditional and the inverse Hall�Petch effects, the tension�compression asymmetry and the enhanced rate sensitivity.

A DFT Study of Ethylene Hydrogenation Reaction Mechanisms on Ni-13 Nanocluster Yilmazer, N. D.; FELLAH, MEHMET FERDİ; Önal, Işık (2013-06-01) Metal nanoclusters can potentially exhibit high catalytic activity and selectivity due to not only a high number of exposed surface atoms but also active sites with different coordination numbers as compared to bulk catalyst surface. In this study ethylene hydrogenation was used as a model reaction in an effort to elaborate reactivity of small Ni nanoclusters and the ethylene hydrogenation reaction mechanism. Two mechanistic pathways; representing Eley-Rideal and Horiuti-Polanyi type of mechanism for ethyle...
A study of phase stability and mechanical properties of hydroxylapatite-nanosize alpha-alumina composites Evis, Zafer (Elsevier BV, 2007-04-01) Hydroxylapatite (HA)-nanosize alumina composites were synthesized to study their phase stability and mechanical properties. To make these composites, nanosize alpha-Al2O3 powder was used because of its better sinterability and densification as compared to nanosize gamma-Al2O3. The composites were air sintered without pressure and hot pressed in vacuum at 1100 degrees C and 1200 degrees C. In the composites, HA decomposed to tricalcium phosphate faster after the air sintering than hot pressing. Moreover, hex...
A Comparative Study of Effects of Additive Particle Size and Content on Wetting Behavior and Brazing Performance of C/SiC Composite Saltik, Simge; ESEN, ZİYA; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (2022-10-01) This study has focused on the influence of size and content of SiC particle incorporation on the wetting behavior of the Ticusil brazing filler alloy and on its brazing performance in C/SiC composite/Ti6Al4V alloy joints. The effect of the size and content of additive SiC particles on the variation of molten brazing filler alloy contact angle was recorded at various brazing time and temperatures. Moreover, the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the additive containing C/SiC composite/Ti6...
The role of nanoparticle geometry in flame retardancy of polylactide nanocomposites containing aluminium phosphinate Isitman, Nihat Ali; Doğan, Mehmet Onur; BAYRAMLI, ERDAL; Kaynak, Cevdet (2012-08-01) Although there is considerable research effort in the development of halogen-free flame-retardant polylactide (PLA), a bio-based aliphatic polyester, the potential synergistic interactions of nanoparticles and conventional additives have scarcely been considered. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of nanofiller geometry on fire retardancy of PLA nanocomposites containing aluminium diethylphosphinate (AlPi) flame retardant. For this purpose, a variety of nanofiller geometries were utili...
A joint density functional and classical molecular dynamics study on interface characteristics of graphene and polyetheretherketone Sert, Elif; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2020-10-9) Graphene is a single layer allotrope of carbon with a honeycomb arrangement of atoms, characterized by excellent mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, high Young’s modulus as well as desirable electrical properties such as high electron mobility. Due to these superior properties, it is considered an important material in numerous technological applications. Among these, graphene-polymer composites have attracted significant interest in the materials research community in recent years. T...
