Microstructure-properties relationship

The microstructure/property relationships observed in shock-recovered samples have been often tacitly assumed to result solely from the shock compression, duration, and rarefaction due to the imposed uniaxial-strain shock. Recent shock-recovery studies have, however, shown that the degree of residual strain in the sample significantly influences the measured struc-...

The advances that have achieved so far are mainly based on increasing understanding of processing and microstructure/property relationship. New analytical methods and high resolution transmission electron microscopy have provided new insight into the grain boundary region and offer the possibility to tailor the microstructure for specific applications.

The test on dry tows, also provided tension stress-strain curves om which various interesting data were extracted. These data are useful for analysis of minicomposites behavior in the frame of a microstructure/properties relationships approach. The fiacture surface of specimens was examined by SEM after the tests.

Effective medium theory (EMT) is commonly used to describe the microstructure-property relationships in heterogeneous materials and predict the effective physical properties. It has recently been revised to predict the thermal conduction of nanocomposites. For nanocomposites with nanopartides on the order of or smaller than the phonon mean free path, the interface density of nanopartides is a primary factor in determining the thermal conductivity. In graphite nanosheet polymer composites, the interfacial thermal resistance still plays a role in the overall thermal transport. However, the thermal conductivity depends strongly on the aspect ratio and on the orientation of graphite nanosheets.

The importance of understanding the physical metallurgy of the Pb-Sn alloy system stems from the microstructure-properties relationship. That is, the microstructure of a Pb-Sn alloy, or any material for that matter, determines its mechanical properties. In the case of Pb-Sn solders, this relationship is particularly critical because (1) the microstructure of these materials is sensitive to the cooling rate used in an assembly process, and (2) the microstructure can be readily altered during the course of the service life experienced by an interconnection.
