A model analysis is presented which explains ball-milling induced alloying in positive-heatof- mixing systems in terms of a dynamic balance between externally forced mixing and thermal phase decomposition mediated by deformation-enhanced population of defects. The possibility of eliminating the thermal decomposition to force single phase formation is examined by milling Cu-Fe and Cu-Ta powder mixtures at the liquid nitrogen temperature (LN2T). Over a range of compositions for Cu-Fe and almost the entire composition range for Cu-Ta, the two-phase region observed for room-temperature (RT) milling persisted after cryomilling. The moderate temperature dependence of milling-induced alloying is interpreted by analyzing the dynamics of the generation and annihilation of the nonequilibrium vacancies during deformation and impacts in a SPEX mill.

Substantial improvements have been reported in high temperature strength and creep resistance, and room temperature fracture toughness of molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) reinforced with ductile or brittle reinforcements. The influence of Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) process parameters on the mechanical properties of MoSi2 based alloys was studied. Monolithic MoSi2 powder and MoSi2 powder blended with either niobium powder or silicon carbide whisker reinforcements were consolidated by HIP at 1200–1400°C, 207 MPa, and 1–4 hrs. The HIP’ed compacts were characterized for compression strength and creep resistance at 1100–1300°C. Fracture toughness was measured on single edge notched rectangular specimens at room temperature. Mechanical properties were correlated with post-HIP microstructural features.

Gauge field theory provides the mathematical and conceptual framework to describe and understand topological singularities such as Weyl points and magnetic monopoles. While singularities associated with vector electromagnetic gauge fields have been well studied, those of higher-form tensor gauge fields, like the four-dimensional (4D) tensor monopoles predicted by string theory, have remained largely theoretical or limited to experimental demonstration in pure synthetic dimensions, thereby not allowing investigations of the associated boundary effects. Here, we present a 4D system with tensor monopoles using engineered acoustic metamaterials. Our momentum space combines three real momentum dimensions and a geometric parameter as the fourth. By varying this fourth momentum, we experimentally reveal two distinct topological surface states in 3D subsystems: Fermi-arc surface states in a gapless subsystem and Dirac-cone surface states in a gapped subsystem. Our work introduces a novel platform for exploring new topological structures associated with tensor gauge field and topological phenomena in higher dimensions.

Strain-controlled isotropic compression gives rise to jammed packings of repulsive, frictionless disks with either positive or negative global shear moduli. We carry out computational studies to understand the contributions of the negative shear moduli to the mechanical response of jammed disk packings. We first decompose the ensemble-averaged, global shear modulus as 〈G〉=(1−F−)〈G+〉+F−〈G−〉, where F− is the fraction of jammed packings with negative shear moduli and 〈G+〉 and 〈G−〉 are the average values from packings with positive and negative moduli, respectively. We show that 〈G+〉 and 〈|G−|〉 obey different power-law scaling relations above and below pN2∼1. For pN2>1, both 〈G+〉N and 〈|G−|〉N∼(pN2)β, where β∼0.5 for repulsive linear spring interactions. Despite this, 〈G〉N∼(pN2)β′ with β′≳0.5 due to the contributions from packings with negative shear moduli. We show further that the probability distribution of global shear moduli P(G) collapses at fixed pN2 and different values of p and N. We calculate analytically that P(G) is a Γ distribution in the pN2≪1 limit. As pN2 increases, the skewness of P(G) decreases and P(G) becomes a skew-normal distribution with negative skewness in the pN2≫1 limit. We also partition jammed disk packings into subsystems using Delaunay triangulation of the disk centers to calculate local shear moduli. We show that the local shear moduli defined from groups of adjacent triangles can be negative even when G>0. The spatial correlation function of local shear moduli C(r⃗) displays weak correlations for pnsub2<10−2, where nsub is the number of particles within each subsystem. However, C(r⃗) begins to develop long-ranged spatial correlations with fourfold angular symmetry for pnsub2≳10−2.
