Strain Hardening of Nickel-Based Alloys: Microstructure Related Analytical Evaluations, Molecular Dynamics Modelling, and Effects of Ultrasonic Surface Finishing by B.M. Mordyuk, V.М. Shyvaniuk, G.S. Mogylnyi, V.І. Bondarchuk, and О.S. Gatsenko

“…The observed hardness increase is described both experimentally by accounting for microstructural data and analytically based on the hardening mechanisms involved, namely: the solid-solution hardening, dispersion hardening by carbides (Inconel 690) and/or intermetallics (Inconel 718, Inconel X750), dislocations’ accumulation and rearrangement, and grains/subgrains refinement observed by x-ray structural analysis. As shown, molecular-dynamics modelling under the same conditions of tensile stress and temperature allows capturing the difference in the evolutions of the defect structures and stress fields averaged on all atoms of the model Ni nanocrystals with and without a spherical inclusion, and it can be used for modelling the alloys with dispersion strengthening. …”

Finite Element Analysis of the Bearing Component of Total Ankle Replacement Implants during the Stance Phase of the Gait Cycle by Timothy S. Jain, Mohammad Noori, Joseph J. Rencis, Amanda Anderson, Naudereh Noori, Scott Hazelwood

“…The highest stress was noted at dorsiflexion angles > 15°, in areas where the UHMWPE liner was thinnest, at the edges of the talar and UHMWPE components, and during the terminal stance phase of the gait cycle. This static structural analysis highlighted these failure regions are susceptible to yielding and wear and indicated stress magnitudes that are in agreement (within 25%) with those in previous static structural TAA FEAs. …”

Advancing Self-Social Engineering in Tourism-Related Environmental Management: Integrating Environmental Psychology, Planned Behavior, and Norm Activation Theories by Laila Refiana Said, Fifi Swandari, Sufi Jikrillah, Sausan Sausan, Fathia Azizah

“…By integrating psychological theories such as Environmental Psychology Theory, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and Norm Activation Theory, the purpose of the investigation was to determine the extent of the direct influence of independent variables of perceived environmental quality (PEQ), attitude, subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) on self-social engineering (SSE) and their indirect influence through intention to engage in environmentally responsible behavior (ERB). The structural analysis results from a sample of 191 visitors indicated that the unified model demonstrates a satisfactory predictive capability for SSE. …”
