Indentation Relaxation Behavior of the Austenitic Heat-Resistant Steel Sanicro25 by Lin Tong, Cao Tieshan

“…The results show that: the hardness/stress and time patterns of indentation relaxation at different depths are in accordance with the relationship similar to that proposed by Choi; the stress index is about 7 according to the power rate relationship, and the relaxation coefficient μ is about 0.3, whose inverse matches well with the stress index obtained from the indentation creep test; there is a pile-up phenomenon at the edges of the residual indentation on the surface of the specimen, which is caused by plastic flow of the material along the direction of the indenter after the formation of a completely plastic region at the bottom of the indenter. …”

Daily night-time lights reveal prolonging global electric power system recovery times following tropical cyclone damage by Yu Mo, Fred Thomas, Jianan Rui, Jim W Hall

“…We also found that blackout durations have significantly ( P < 0.05) increased over the study period across all levels of urbanization, at a similar rate of 0.9 ± 0.1 d per decade. The temporal variations (i.e. annual means) of blackout duration of high and low density urban clusters negatively correlated with storm travel speed, while those of low density urban clusters and rural areas positively correlated with pre-storm NTL ( P ⩽ 0.05 in all cases). …”
