The interaction between dynamic recrystallization and twinning during the hot compression in a novel nickel-based superalloy by Xingyun Fan, Lingxiang Zhong, Yanzhuo Liu, Jianmin Cui, Hongqiang Du, Yongsheng Wei, Yingnan Shi, Xinmei Hou, Jinhui Wang, Peipeng Jin

“…These deformation twins (DTs) were nucleated via the double-cross slip model at low temperatures and high strain rates. Additionally, it was found that the twins on the γ′ are nucleated by the interaction of two a/2[110] dislocations and the interaction produce two partial dislocations (a/3[21 1‾] and a/3[1 2‾ 1]), which cut adjacent (111) planes and thus promoted twin nucleation. …”

Estimation of the Dynamic Moduli of Viscoelastic Asphalt Mixtures Using the Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm by Yu-Seok Gong, Dowan Kim, Sungho Mun

“…Typically, viscoelastic characteristics have been used to derive asphalt dynamic moduli; compressive frequency sweep tests at different frequencies (Hz) and temperatures are employed to this end. We compared IRT-derived viscoelastic master curves obtained via compressive frequency sweep testing to those derived using the EKF algorithm, which employs a nonlinear sigmoidal curve and a Taylor series to explore the viscoelastic function. …”
