Observation of multiple metastable states induced by electric pulses in the hysteresis temperature range of 1 T - TaS 2

The electric pulses induced responses of 1T - TaS 2 in the commensurate charge-density-wave phase in the hysteresis temperature region (160 ~ 210 K) have been investigated. We observed an abrupt jump of the resistance excited by pulse, followed by a slow relaxation process in a time scale of ~ 100 s. At a fixed temperature, the various electric pulses can drive the system to multi metastable states. Here, we propose that the spontaneous evolution or slow relaxation of the system by pulse excitations corresponds to the rearrangements of the textures of CCDW domains.

An Integrated Computational Materials Engineering Method for Woven Carbon Fiber Composites Preforming Process

An integrated computational materials engineering method is proposed in this paper for analyzing the design and preforming process of woven carbon fiber composites. The goal is to reduce the cost and time needed for the mass production of structural composites. It integrates the simulation methods from the micro-scale to the macro-scale to capture the behavior of the composite material in the preforming process. In this way, the time consuming and high cost physical experiments and prototypes in the development of the manufacturing process can be circumvented. This method contains three parts: the micro-scale representative volume element (RVE) simulation to characterize the material; the metamodeling algorithm to generate the constitutive equations; and the macro-scale preforming simulation to predict the behavior of the composite material during forming. The results show the potential of this approach as a guidance to the design of composite materials and its manufacturing process.
