Plastic Behaviours of Polycrystalline Metals under Multi-axial Cyclic Loading Conditions
application/pdfRecently, the formulation of plasic constitutive equations for polycrystalline metals under multi-axial cyclic loading conditions has been noted from the view points of practical safety design of machines and constructions as well as of interests in the deformation mechanisms of metals. However, the experimental data available are not enough yet when we consider the complexity of plastic behaviours under such conditions. Then, the authors conducted some fundamental multi-axial experiments by applying combined loads of cyclic axial force and steady internal pressure to thin-walled tubular specimens of initially isotropic brass, and discussed the possibility of the formulation of constitutive equations useful in such complex conditions on the bases of the experimental data obtained here, following the crystal plasticity approach.departmental bulletin pape

<p>H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus VN3040 (left) or HOK1 (right) was inoculated into the nostrils, oral cavity, and trachea of macaques on day 0 (five weeks after the second vaccination). Body temperatures of macaques were recorded using telemetry transmitters and a computer. Temperatures from 6 P.M. to 10 A.M. are shown in the graphs since temperatures between 10 A.M. and 6 P.M. were affected by anesthesia.</p
Viral pneumonia in macaques infected with H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus.
<p>One macaque, VN1 (A, D, G, J), was inoculated with VN3040. Two macaques, Ho2 (B, E, H, K) and Ho3 (C, F, I, L), were inoculated with HOK1. VN1 and Ho2 were autopsied 7 days after virus inoculation. The dead macaque Ho3 was autopsied 5 days after virus infection. (A–F) Lung tissue sections were stained with H & E. A–C: low magnification (bars: 200 µm), D–F: high magnification (bars: 50 µm). (G–I) Viral antigen was stained with FITC-conjugated anti-influenza A virus antibody (green) in combination with eFluor615-conjugated cytokeratin (red) and DAPI for staining of nuclei (blue).
