Authors: Silva Robson Dias , Carvas Ilze Kelly da Silva Carvas , Jesus Claudiana Guedes de
Published: July 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o papel da mineração no desenvolvimento regional, utilizando o caso de Minas Gerais como objeto de pesquisa. Com base em um conjunto de indicadores selecionados, mostra-se como os municípios mineiros foram impactados pela mineração nas duas primeiras décadas do século atual, notadamente durante o chamado boom dos preços das commodities. A metodologia da pesquisa foi qualitativa, apoiada tanto na revisão da literatura como em indicadores secundários sobre mineração e na análise de dados socioeconômicos. Como resultado geral, destaca-se que a dependência da mineração segue como um desafio em termos de desenvolvimento social e urbano no estado em foco. Como a mineração é ancorada na produção de bens não renováveis, o que tem afetado as relações urbanas e ambientais, esse modelo de crescimento exige um debate profundo sobre seus potenciais e riscos para a economia e a subsistência.
Public policies, statehoods and neoliberalizing experimentations: the state of Rio de Janeiro as a situated case
Authors: Oliveira Fábio Lucas Pimentel de , Brandão Carlos Antônio , Werner Deborah
Published: July 2022

The article aims to situate public policies, and the challenges of establishing statecraft and statehoods and state actions of another nature within the context of recent, ongoing neoliberalization processes in Latin America. It seeks to identify the structural determinants of this situation and investigates how such processes have impacted government capacities. Using the State of Rio de Janeiro as a situated case study, it examines the socio-economic and institutional implications of the neoliberalization process in the structural and conjunctural circumstances of the deep, multidimensional crisis which the society of Rio de Janeiro is currently experiencing. The article reveals the various restrictions involved in effecting an inclusive, durable development agenda within the state territory, which has increasingly been subjected to pro-market logic. Thus, it discusses the need to reconstitute the statecraft and statehoods, formed on a new basis, in order to undertake actions that carry emancipatory values.

Published: July 2022

Objectives: This study aimed at assessing the influential factors on oral health status of the elderly Iranian population (65 to 74 years of age) by using Path analysis.  
Methods: This study was conducted on 7,521 elderly individuals participating in the Iranian National Oral Health Survey in 2012. After data collection process, initially decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index as well as functional health (FH) index were evaluated in this study by using clinical data.  The socio-economic status (SES), insurance type (IT), dental attendance pattern (DAP), reason of attendance (R of A), tooth cleaning (TC), and nutritional pattern (NP) were evaluated according to responses provided to the questions in the questionnaire by participant. Path analysis was applied to analyze the patterns between these variables and DMFT and FH index.
Results: The participants’ mean DMFT was 26.6±8.03, and the median FH was 0 (0.10). Path analysis revealed that seniors with higher SES, and having a dental insurance with greater coverage had a direct effect on more regular DAP, and indirect effect on improvement of FH and reduction in DMFT index. More regular DAP had a direct effect on improvement of FH, and reduction of DMFT index. Also, NP with lower risk of caries had a direct effect on improvement of FH and reduction of DMFT index.  
Conclusion: Out of all the evaluated factors, IT, SES, DAP, and NP demonstrated to be particularly important and significantly affecting DMFT and FH indices in the elderly population. Out of all aforementioned factors, IT in low SES individuals was more important for obtaining required oral healthcare services. Apparently, seniors’ oral health is absolutely in need of special attention with particular focus on providing access to early prevention and care.

Authors: Alzahrani Kholoud , Jastaniah Samyah , Amasha Reda , M. Aly Magda
Published: July 2022

The diversity of culturable endophytic actinomycetes related to plants and especially medicinal plants are isolated and characterized. The increased colonization and distribution of endophytic actinomycetes in plants have been reported in many studies. Endophytic actinomycetes belong to different genera are distributed in plants species such as Streptomyces, which is the dominant genus, Micromonospora, Microbispora, Nocardiopsis, Rhodococcus and Nocardia. Moreover, there are many novel strains had been described belong to these genera. Endophytic actinomycetes seem to contribute with plant development and displaying beneficial traits that can be exploited in plant maintenance, substances supplements, protection and defense. Colonization of endophytic actinomycetes in plant tissues are largely influenced by plant species and the environmental factors surrounding the host  plants such as soil pH, water content, rainfall, soil salinity, and temperatures. Some endophytic actinomycetes may occur in low numbers and sometimes in localized positions within the plant. Thus, this review summarizes an aspect of the diversity and colonization of endophytic actinomycetes, including their mechanism of action, importance, and isolation and identification methods.

Published: July 2022

Objective: There is no published literature about the types of head and face shapes in the Alborz newborns. Therefore, we designed this study to report these important regional data.

Methods: Head length, head width, face length, face width, prosopic and cephalic indices were made on 150 newborns (75 males and 75 females) with a view to establish the criterion of cephalometry for this age group in Iran. A special emphasis was given to delivery mode in this study.

Results: There was no significant difference in cephalic and prosopic indices between two groups (female: p=0.46; male: p=0.43). Brachycephalic type was dominant and dolicocephalic type was rare in male and female neonates. There was no significant difference in head shape between two groups. Hypereuriprosopic and hyperleptoprosopic were dominant and rare types, respectively, in newborns without significant difference between two groups.

Conclusion: The head and face indices in the newborn infants born by cesarean section were not significantly different from vaginal delivery group. However, the role of nutrition and climate could not be ruled out.
Computing Ground State Properties with Early Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers
Authors: Zhang Ruizhe , Wang Guoming , Johnson Peter
Published: July 2022

Significant effort in applied quantum computing has been devoted to the problem of ground state energy estimation for molecules and materials. Yet, for many applications of practical value, additional properties of the ground state must be estimated. These include Green's functions used to compute electron transport in materials and the one-particle reduced density matrices used to compute electric dipoles of molecules. In this paper, we propose a quantum-classical hybrid algorithm to efficiently estimate such ground state properties with high accuracy using low-depth quantum circuits. We provide an analysis of various costs (circuit repetitions, maximal evolution time, and expected total runtime) as a function of target accuracy, spectral gap, and initial ground state overlap. This algorithm suggests a concrete approach to using early fault tolerant quantum computers for carrying out industry-relevant molecular and materials calculations.

Review of the obligation to pay medical expenses in the case of restrictions on liability for medical litigation: Focusing on the court ruling
Authors:   Journal of Law research, Park Da-Rae
Published: July 2022

In the case of medical malpractice litigations, even if the hospital's negligence is admitted, in most cases restriction on liability is admitted.
Since the medical expenses are in return for medical practice, the hospital can claim it when the medical practice is performed according to the contents delegated. In the event of a medical malpractice, if the hospital is not negligent, or if it is completely responsible, it is clear whether the mandate has been fulfilled. But in case of restriction on liability, it is not clear whether or not a medical fee can be claimed.
In many cases, courts judge that there is no obligation to pay the total medical expenses regardless of the liability limit rate, while in most cases, medical expenses are calculated by reflecting the liability limit rate. If the obligation to pay medical expenses is judged differently depending on whether it is a claim for damages or a medical expense lawsuit, an unreasonable situation may occur in which the obligation to pay medical expenses is judged differently depending on the timing of payment of medical expenses.
If the patient's negligence contributes, the ratio of negligence should be reflected in the medical expenses according to the law of comparative negligence. If the risk of the disease itself is high or the patient's constitutional predisposition limits liability, the proportion of the factor's contribution in terms of fair and reasonable sharing of damages should be reflected in the claim.

Authors: Anggraini Fitria , Aprianti Aprianti
Published: July 2022

Bustaman village is a village that has the potential for goat slaughter routines and the "gebyuran" tradition, this increases the potential for environmental health problems from piles of carcass waste from goats to piles of plastic waste, both of which can pollute the environment and cause potential zoonoses such as rats that can transmit diseases. leptospirosis. The method of implementing community service is carried out by empowering the community through a problem solving cycle approach. The first stage starts from problem identification, problem priority, brainstorming, village community deliberation and then intervention. The results of community service are quite good, the activities run smoothly as seen from the people who are active in identifying health problems, namely diseases that come from animals, namely rats, mosquitoes and flies. The priority of the community problem is the prevention of a rat-borne disease, namely leptospirosis. The intervention was carried out by catching rats and facilitated by the service team by distributing 20 mouse traps. The eradication of rats has been carried out and the community is committed to carrying out these activities continuously. It is hoped that the local health center can facilitate leptospirosis prevention activities by providing assistance to the community so that these activities can continue.

Pinang Kencana Village is an area that is prone to dengue fever with a population of 47,509 people. In 2017 the Pinang Kencana Village occupied the highest dengue cases as many as 52 people. Every year, Pinang Kencana Village is an area that has the highest dengue cases. This is partly influenced by the behavior that often accommodates clean water during the rainy season and in the summer and is also added to the clean water reservoir in the Pinang Kencana sub-district school that does not have a lid so that it can cause the development of Aedes Sp mosquitoes. DHF transmission does not only occur in the neighborhood, but also in schools. Schools are one of the potential places that can be a breeding ground for Aedes mosquitoes, so they can become places for dengue transmission. Places that can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes in schools include water reservoirs, school toilets, flower pots, etc. And the school is also a place where a group of people gather on a regular basis which takes place almost every day, so that it becomes one of the priority places for periodic monitoring of the presence of larvae so that they do not become a source of dengue transmission.

Published: July 2022

Data from Riskesdas in 2013 and 2018 showed an increase in cancer prevalence in Indonesia from 1.4% to 1.49%. Screening is a government effort or a simple and easy test carried out on a healthy population with the aim of distinguishing people who are sick or at risk of contracting the disease among healthy people. One form of increasing public awareness about the symptoms and signs of cancer, one of which is the provision of public education about breast self-examination (BSE). Based on the results of interviews with cadres at Posyandu Tanggul Asri RW 10, Kadipiro Village, Banjarsari District, Surakarta, cadres have never received counseling about early detection of breast cancer with BSE. The purpose of this community service is that it is hoped that the skills of cadres in carrying out BSE will increase. The methods used in this community service activity are lectures, demonstrations, discussions / questions and answers. From the results of the implementation of coaching and counseling for 1 day which was attended by 12 cadres, it turned out that the activity received a good response by the cadres. Cadres become more aware of early detection of breast cancer and can demonstrate how to do BSE. The conclusion of this Community Service Activity is that Cadres understand early detection of breast cancer with BSE.

Board characteristics and audit committee diversities: Evidence from Hong Kong
Authors: Cheung Kwok Yip , Chung Chi Veng
Published: July 2022

This study is the first study to examine the relationship between board characteristics and the diversity of audit committee members in Hong Kong after the Asian financial crisis in 2008. Using five dimensions of diversities (education level, ethnicities, experience, gender, and age), we find — for a sample of Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index 1,700 firm-year observations between 2010 and 2015 — that board independence, board size, board directorships, and board tenure are important determinants of diversities in audit committee members. In addition, our control variables show that board state ownership, board of directors’ political connection, and family members on the board are also important determinants of diversities in audit committee members. The findings suggest that effective board characteristics encourage diverse education levels, age, and gender of the audit committees while discouraging diverse experiences and ethnicities. Overall, consistent with prior studies, our findings suggest that effective board characteristics are important determinants of its oversight quality. Our findings are of potential interest to policymakers, professionals, boards of directors, and academics.
Ablación automática de tumores en el contexto del aprendizaje automático
Authors: Orozco Gutiérrez Álvaro Ángel , García Arias Hernán Felipe , Vargas Cardona Hernán Darío
Published: July 2022

En los últimos años, los tumores malignos se han convertido en un problema de salud pública con una alta incidencia en la población mundial. Dependiendo del tipo de tumor se han planteado diferentes tratamientos, donde la ablación tumoral, mediante cirugía estereotáxica, se ha convertido en el proceso quirúrgico de mayor aceptación y éxito. Sin embargo, es bien sabido que la calidad de vida de los pacientes sometidos a cirugía estereotáxica se ve afectada a menudo debido al inevitable déficit neuronal que se produce durante los procedimientos altamente invasivos. Este daño neuronal en ocasiones puede generar efectos secundarios no deseados como parálisis muscular, trastornos del habla y problemas motores. La tractografía, basada en imágenes de difusión magnética (dMRI) con resolución mejorada, puede permitir una planificación estereotáxica más detallada a nivel de las fibras neuronales, lo que puede evitar daños insuficientes en la trayectoria de inserción de material quirúrgico, como electrodos exploradores o instrumentos para la ablación de tejidos. . El objetivo final del análisis de imágenes estructurales en tumores cerebrales es extraer información clínica relevante específica para cada paciente y sus características diagnósticas. En consecuencia, desarrollar modelos automáticos para la localización y reconocimiento de tejidos asociados a regiones tumorales es de vital importancia para el campo de la neuroimagen en el que las herramientas tecnológicas pueden apoyar al especialista en un proceso de ablación tumoral.

La colonización antioqueña en el Municipio de Toro: el caso del mercado de tierras de Riosucio 1876-1889
Authors: Agudelo Echeverry Diego Alexander
Published: July 2022

Las investigaciones más recientes del proceso de colonización antioqueña, han sugerido la necesidad de realizar análisis micro a nivel de las subregiones, para replantear ciertos mitos como la idea del “pequeño propietario”, la “distribución democrática de la propiedad” o la de “los colonos antioqueños” como un grupo homogéneo. El estudio del mercado de tierras ocurrido a partir de la disolución de resguardos indígenas del Municipio de Toro, en las tres últimas décadas del siglo XIX, permite entender los procesos de acumulación originaria de capital por parte de las elites del Valle del Cauca y Antioquia. Se destaca el papel de las sociedades comerciales de Medellín a partir de la ampliación del crédito para el desarrollo de mercados periféricos a la capital antioqueña y en la formación de mercados modernos de las subregiones, amparados en la disponibilidad de tierras que dejó la enajenación de las tierras de resguardo. Se plantea el concepto de las clases sociales como eje orientador de la explicación en torno a la enajenación en el que las élites caucanas lideraron el proceso de reparto y distribución. La reflexión sobre del espacio, es decir el aspecto geoeconómico, luego el mercado respecto a la enajenación de los resguardos y por último la colonización, son el derrotero explicativo de esta historia.
Plant Phytochemistry Influences the Niche Breadth of Oligophagous Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
Authors: Ridenbaugh Ryan , Dowell Jordan , Head Megan , Withers Toni , Mason Chase , Sharanowski Barbara
Published: July 2022

The order Hymenoptera is one of, if not the most, species-rich order of
animals, primarily driven by the many parasitoid wasps and their unique
arthropod hosts. As hosts are necessary for survival, host location and
selection have direct fitness implications. Semiochemicals, also known
as infochemicals, from either the host herbivore or the plant are just
one of many cues that parasitoid wasps use to locate a suitable host.
The reliability-detectability hypothesis suggests that infochemicals
from the host herbivore are the most reliable indicators of host
presence. However, as localized signals, infochemicals are less
detectable by parasitoids. Alternatively, infochemicals from plants are
detectible over longer distances, although these signals are less
reliable indicators of host herbivore presence. In this study, we
explore the occurrence of infochemicals emitted by plants and their
association with parasitoid host selection. We identified 112
phytochemical compounds extracted from Eucalyptus leaves that had been
attacked by leaf beetle herbivores (Chrysomelidae) which had in turn
been parasitized by Eadya larval-parasitoid wasps (Braconidae). Using
several phylogenetic and statistical approaches, we conclude that host
selection in two species of Eadya wasps is heavily influenced by
infochemicals from the plant 1st trophic level. With this evidence, we
propose amending the reliability-detectability hypothesis to include
direct interaction between the 1st and 3rd trophic levels in a scenario
where an oligophagous parasitoid utilizes oligophagous hosts.

Local therapies replaced systemic chemotherapy for ocular preservation
in retinoblastoma. In middle income countries, these techniques pose
specific challenges mostly related to more advanced disease at
diagnosis. The Grupo de America Latina de Oncologia Pediatrica (GALOP
developed a consensus document for the management of conservative
therapy for retinoblastoma. Intra-arterial chemotherapy (OAC) is the
preferred therapy, except those with less advanced disease or age
younger than 6 months. OAC allowed for the elimination of the use of
external beam radiotherapy in our setting. Intravitreal chemotherapy is
the preferred treatment for vitreous seeding. Enucleation is the
treatment of choice for advanced eyes.

Fuzzy Single-Current Field Weakening Control of IPMSM in EV
Authors: Wu Jingbo , Liu Junjie , Guo Zhijun , Wang Yongwei
Published: July 2022

Under complex driving conditions, the driving speed of pure electric
vehicles changes frequently, and there is no mathematical law to follow.
Bad working conditions will lead to the change of the driving motor
parameters. Conventional motor control PI regulator parameters are fixed
and cannot be adjusted in real time in accordance with the vehicle
driving state. The dynamic performance of the drive system decreases due
to the increase of AC/DC coupling in the high-speed field weakening
region of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). To solve
the above problems, an IPMSM fuzzy single-current field weakening
control algorithm for pure electric vehicles was proposed, and the
parameters of the PI regulator were adjusted in real time through fuzzy
control to enhance the response characteristics and anti-interference
characteristics of the drive system. The optimized single-current field
weakening control method was adopted, and the a-axis and d-axis voltage
was adjusted in real time based on the vehicle speed and the output
torque, which enhanced the control performance of the vehicle in the
high-speed field weakening region. The feasibility and effectiveness of
the proposed control algorithm were verified through a simulation
comparison with the conventional PI-adjusted single-current field
weakening control algorithm.

considered of high quality in TCM. However, chemical basis underlying
this colour variation across natural accessions and within plant tissues
are largely unknown, impeding implications of efficacy of cinnabar-like
spots for Cangzhu in TCM. Here, we carried out laser capture
microdissection (LCM) based metabolomics on three A. lancea
natural accessions with distinct AR colour patterns. Multivariate
statistics across various SC types identified three polyacetylenes
significantly associated with the red SCs of AR. Mass spectrometry
imaging (MSI) further indicated that they are likely the causal
compounds underlying the cinnabar-like colour of SCs in A.
lancea. We thus provide a clear example of using spatial metabolomics
to reveal key metabolite markers associated with important
pharmaceutical properties by using very limited number of natural
accessions in a non-model plant. It will further guide the elucidation
of biosynthetic pathways for polyacetylenes in herbaceous plant A.

Vacuolar Phosphate Transporter1 (VPT1)-mediated phosphate uptake in the
vacuoles is essential to plant development and fruit ripening.
Interestingly, in this study, we find that the VvVPT1 protein positively
regulates grape berry soluble sugar accumulation, potentially associated
to its sugar transport activity. The VvVPT1 is isolated from
grape ( Vitis vinifera) berries, which mainly accumulated glucose
and fructose. This tonoplast-localized VvVPT1 contains SPX
(Syg1/Pho81/XPR1) and MFS (major facilitator superfamily) domains and
its mRNA expression could be induced by sucrose. Using transient
transgenic systems in grape berry, we found that the downregulation and
upregulation of VvVPT1 expression inhibited and promoted ripening
and affected hexose contents, fruit firmness, and ripening-related gene
expression. The VvVPT1 protein has low affinity for Pi, while possesses
high affinity for hexose absorption in yeast system, dependent on its
SPX domain. In conparision to the VPT1 available (only strawberry FaVPT1
and Arabidopsis AtVPT1), as expected, the three proteins all have
low-affinity Pi transport activity, strickingly, they appear different
sugar transport capacity, in consistent with their soluble sugar status.
Together, these data first demonstrate that VvVPT1 can promote grape
berry hexose accumulation and ripening, associated to its SPX and MFS
domains in direct transport of hexose into the vacuole. Finally,
vacuolar phosphate transporter1 (VPT1)-mediated alternative accumulation
of soluble sugar varies with fruit types is discussed.
Research progress of stress echocardiography in coronary heart disease
Authors: Zhang Hua , Qiu Shaodong , Chen Fei
Published: July 2022

：Coronary heart disease (CHD) affects a wide population and has a high
mortality rate, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients.
Early diagnosis and effective treatment can significantly improve the
survival and prognosis of the CHD patients. At present, it is mainly
judged by detecting various myocardial biomarkers, myocardial movement
and coronary blood flow. Stress echocardiography (SE) is one of the
commonly used detection methods. It can not only judge the severity of
coronary stenosis, but also evaluate myocardial survival and distinguish
hibernating myocardium and stunned myocardium. In recent years, it has
also emerged in non-coronary heart disease such as artificial valve and
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This article briefly reviews the principle
and classification of SE, and it mainly discusses its important value in
the diagnosis and prognosis of CHD.
Dietary and temporal partitioning facilitate sympatric coexistence of carnivore assemblage in the Everest region

Published: July 2022

Carnivore communities are extremely important for maintaining the
structure/function of ecosystems. Exploring the carnivore coexistence
can provide the data needed for the development of effective
conservation strategies for endangered species. We aimed to (1) reveal
the dietary composition of a carnivore community that inhabits the
Everest region by analyzing molecular diets, (2) assess activity
patterns by analyzing camera-trapping records. Dietary analysis revealed
22 food MOTUs of 7 orders and 2 classes. Snow leopard and wolf mainly
preyed on ungulate mammals (%PR = 61%, 50%), while lynx and red fox
mainly consumed small mammals (%PR = 62%, 76%). Higher dietary
overlap (Pianka’s index = 0.95 ~ 0.97) was observed
between similar-sized predators (snow leopard versus wolf, lynx versus
fox); and there was no dietary difference between them (P >
0.05). Lower dietary overlap (Pianka’s index = 0.53 ~
0.67) was observed between predators with large body size difference
(snow leopard versus lynx, snow leopard versus red fox, wolf versus
fox); and dietary difference was significant (P < 0.01),
indicating the existence of dietary partitioning. In activity pattern
analysis, predators exhibited higher temporal overlap with the more
frequently consumed prey species, indicating that predator activity can
be regulated by prey availability. Snow leopard and wolf had the higher
activity overlap (Δ = 0.87) suggesting the lack of temporal
partitioning. Red fox had the lower coefficients of overlap with snow
leopard and wolf (Δ = 0.60, Δ = 0.59), suggesting that fox temporally
avoid snow leopard and wolf slightly. We revealed the coexistence
mechanisms of a carnivore community in the Everest region, by confirming
that sympatric coexistence was facilitated by both dietary and temporal
partitioning. These results will help to increase understanding of
carnivore communities, and provide the scientific foundation for the
conservation of threatened species in the Mount Everest region.
Effect of sintering temperature on microstructure and electrical properties of Ce0.82Dy0.155Sr0.025O2-δ electrolyte
Authors: Ramesh Somoju
Published: July 2022

Ce0.82Dy0.155Sr0.025O2-? (SDDC) powder was synthesized by a sucrose-pectin
modified sol-gel process. The powder was pressed and sintered at different
temperatures, 1200, 1250 and 1300?C, to prepare dense ceramics with a
relative density of 91, 93 and 95%TD, respectively. Crystal structure and
phase composition were analysed by XRD using Rietveld refinement. The sample
compositional analysis and element mapping were carried out by
energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Microstructure images were recorded by
scanning electron microscope. The electrical properties were measured by an
impedance analyser. The grain resistance and the grain boundary resistance
changed with the increased grain size. The SDDC electrolyte sintered at 1300?C exhibits an enhanced total electrical conductivity of 2.45?10?2 S/cm at
700?C and the activation energy of 0.76 eV. The porosity corrections are
applied to the Bricklayer model to calculate the specific grain and grain
boundary conductivities.

Background: Protein biomarkers may identify people with type 2 diabetes at high risk of cardiovascular outcomes and death. 

Methods:  Bio-banked serum from 4957 ELIXA (Evaluating Lixisenatide in Acute Coronary Syndrome) participants was analyzed. Forward-selection Cox models identified independent protein risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and death, that were compared to a previously validated biomarker panel. 

Results: NT-proBNP and osteoprotegerin predicted both outcomes. In addition, trefoil factor 3 predicted MACE, and angiopoietin-2 predicted death (C = 0.70 and 0.79 respectively compared to 0.63 and 0.66 for clinical variables alone). These proteins had all been previously identified and validated. Notably, C statistics for just NT-proBNP plus clinical risk factors were 0.69 and 0.78 for MACE and death respectively. 

Conclusion: NT-proBNP and other proteins independently predict CV outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes following acute coronary syndrome. Adding other biomarkers only marginally increased NT-proBNP’s prognostic value.  
Investigating the Use of Crystal Plasticity Finite Element (CPFE) Modeling to Determine Ballistic Performance of Novel Titanium Alloys
Authors:   , Gordon Jonathan
Published: July 2022

The demand for lightweight and strong alloys in the aviation industry, such as titanium 6Al-4V, has grown with the increase in air travel. The fan blades on aero engines which are usually made from titanium 6Al-4V are susceptible to high strain rate deformation due to bird strike or other events associated with engine failure. The desire to optimise titanium alloys has lead to the desire for greater understanding of titanium deformation mechanics. In this research a hyperelastic-viscoplastic single-crystal rate-dependent material model is proposed. This model allows for the slip families of crystals to have their own unique material properties assigned to them. The crystallographic orientation is governed through the use of Euler angles. These Euler angles define the initial slip system configuration within the crystal. A method for generating computational microstructures known as representative volume elements for titanium 6Al-4V is detailed. The generated microstructures are compared to EBSD data and the correct volume fraction of beta phase is obtained. The average alpha grain size is also well matched but the beta grains are larger than found in the EBSD data set. The constructed microstructure is then meshed with brick elements and the model is used to simulate its response to macro and micro scale loadings. The model captures the general trends but does not give an exact match to the experimental data.
