          <artTitle lang="ENG">Characteristic defects-corrosion damage and mechanical behavior of dual phase rebar</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The demands for constructions with high mechanical performance, located in seismic areas, expressed through EC2 and EC8- part3, were importantly satisfied mainly with the use of Tempcore dual phase steel bars. High mechanical performance of dual phase steel comes from the combination of the mechanical properties of each individual phase. However, several times have been reported problems concerning their structural cohesion.&#13;
&#13;
In the present study four different technical classes (DP) of reinforcing steel bars were used: B500c, B450c, B400c and B500b. SEM and EDX analyses were used, focusing not only on the internal defects regions of the materials (before and after corrosion), but also on the external areas affected by pitting corrosion. Moreover, in terms of the experimental procedure, mechanical tensile tests were conducted, on both corroded and non corroded reinforcing steel bar specimens and the pertinent results are analyzed.&#13;
&#13;
The conclusion from the present study is that both internal and external defects constitute a major problem for constructions, by diminishing their mechanical performance and resulting in their premature failure.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The influence of the pressure of the argon-oxygen gas mixture on the composition of Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering on the silicon substrate with a platinum layer has been studied. It was demonstrated that the change in the self-polarization vector is unambiguously associated with the variations of the concentration of lead in PZT films in relation to stoichiometric composition. It was found that at the high gas pressure (8 Pa) the entire volume of the thin PZT is crystallized in the perovskite phase, and with decreasing pressure to 2 Pa (and, consequently, with a decrease in lead content) the fraction of the perovskite phase in the film volume significantly decreases. For explanation of the reorientation of the polarization vector we have proposed the model which is based on mechanochemical phenomenon of the diffusion of lead atoms under the mechanical stresses caused by a distinction in the thermal expansion coefficients of the film and the substrate.</abstract>

The data comparison of similar coatings obtained by magnetron sputtering on WC-based and stainless steel substrates shows that TiC/a-C nanohardness is affected by the substrate at indentation depths larger than 10-13 % of the coating.s thickness. As for the friction coefficient, the soft substrate influences TiC/a-C coatings at the depths as small as 1 % of the coatings. thickness so this mechanical property is always influenced by the substrate.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">A brief review of the theoretical models which describe specific plastic deformation mechanisms in ultrafine-grained materials with nanotwinned structure (nanotwinned materials) is presented. In particular, micromechanism of nanotwin widening and micromechanism of combined action of lattice dislocation slip and twin boundary migration in nanotwinned materials are considered. Dependence of the flow stress on the plastic strain in nanotwinned cooper (Cu) is calculated. Also, dependence of the yield stress on twin thickness in nanotwinned cooper (Cu) is theoretically described. Our theoretical results and their comparison with corresponding experimental data in the exemplary case of nanotwinned copper (Cu) are discussed.</abstract>

In all cases, the dependence of the strain on the time was characteristic of the low temperature (logarithmic) creep. It is shown that for the interpretation of experimental data is possible using the model developed for crystalline solids. The estimation of the size of "elementary volume", which can be subjected to continuous deformation regardless of the deformation of the neighboring elementary volume.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">In the present study it was evaluated the diffusion radius of triple junctions of  and  tilt boundaries in Ni, obtained by crystallization, depending on the content of free volume. It is shown that diffusion in the area of triple junctions containing excess free volume proceeds much more intense than in the case when the additional vacancies were not introduced in the calculation block. In the  boundaries and junctions formed by them during crystallization the free volume dissipated much more efficiently than in the junctions formed by the  boundaries. For this reason the diffusion radius of the triple junction of  boundaries at the introduction of 2 % conditional vacancies (about 3.5 Å) less than the radius of the junction of  boundaries (4-5 Å).</abstract>

To do so, we created a novel method to synthesize Gum metal and "Gum-metal-graphene" nanocomposite. In the latter case, micromechanical splitting of thermo-exfoliated graphite is used as graphene source. With Xray analysis, we demonstrated that the phase compositions of Gum metal specimens and the nanocomposite matrix are identical to one of typical Gum metal compositions reported in literature.</abstract>

It is shown that the influence of inclusions on the modulus of elasticity and plasticity limit of the nanocomposite is not significant. Graphene inclusions effect on strength and fracture toughness of the composite "(nano) metal-graphene".

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">In this paper, we present experimental data on synthesis and investigation of the mechanical properties of bulk nickel and bulk "nickel - 8 mol.% Y2O3-92 mol.% ZrO2" nanocomposite with a nickel matrix containing crystalline ceramic nanoparticles. In terms of wt.%, this nanocomposite (hereinafter called Ni-YSZ nanocomposite) contains 1 wt.% of ceramic nanoparticles. The Ni and Ni-YSZ nanocomposite specimens were fabricated by powder metallurgy technique with successive annealing at 1250 °C. In tension and compression tests, we revealed stress-strain dependences showing degradation of strength and ductility exhibited by Ni-YSZ nanocomposite, as compared to those of pure Ni fabricated in the same conditions. The fatigue tests of the specimens were performed in the symmetric tensioncompression regime based on 107 cycles. The fatigue limits were identified. The specimen fabricated from pure Ni powder showed the fatigue limit of 110 MPa, whereas Ni-YSZ composite exhibited the fatigue limit of 50 MPa. Thus, the insertion of ceramic nanoparticles into Ni matrix gives rise to more than two times decrease of the fatigue limit, as compared to pure Ni. The fractography of fatigue fracture surfaces was examined by scanning electron microscopy. In both materials tested, three stages of the fatigue crack distribution are observed which are the crack initiation, stable crack growth and unstable crack growth stages. Both materials contain the significant amounts of pores, and pore merging is observed at the unstable crack growth stage.</abstract>
