Analysis of temperature and microstructure in the quenching of steel cylinders

TL;DR: In this article, a finite-element procedure has been developed for temperature and microstructural analyses of quenching problems involving nonisothermal phase transformations, which is applied to calculate temperature, microstructure, and hardness distributions in 1080 steel cylinders quenched in water and in two polymeric quenchants.

Angular-dependent interatomic potential for tantalum

TL;DR: In this paper, an angular-dependent semi-empirical interatomic potential suitable for atomistic simulations of plastic deformation, fracture and related processes in body-centered cubic Ta has been constructed by fitting to experimental properties and a first-principles database generated in this work.

Intrinsic Data Retention in Nanoscaled Phase-Change Memories—Part II: Statistical Analysis and Prediction of Failure Time

TL;DR: In this article, the statistical spread of intrinsic data retention times in phase-change memory (PCM) cells is studied based on the crystallization and percolation model described in part 1, the crystalline grain size in the amorphous volume after data loss is extracted.
