Topic: Lamellar structure


  
  Bone Structure
In this section, we illustrate the anatomy and structure of bone tissue as the basis for studying tissue structure function and mechanically mediated tissue adaptation.
Lamellar bone, which is found in plexiform, primary osteonal, and secondary osteonal bone, is laid down in a more organized fashion (as seen in the picture above) and constrasts very clearly to the woven bone above..
Jee (1983) denotes the trabecular packet as the basic structural unit of trabecular bone based on the fact that it is the basic remodeling unit of trabecular bone just as the osteon is the basic remodeling unit of cortical bone).

The as cast columnar lamellar structure, as well as the bulk B2 phase and silicides, formed during solidification, complicate the analysis.
As such, a full solution treatment in the{alpha} phase field was applied to the as cast material to produce an equiaxed fully lamellar structure without the bulk B2 phase and silicides.
This lamellar structure was used as the starting microstructure to investigate precipitation hardening of the fully lamellar structure.

 Dr. Steve Weiner. Biomineralization Examples of Recent stadies
As this material reveals no regular structure, we suggest that at least prior to mineralization the silk is in the form of a hydrated gel.
It is therefore proposed that the lamellar structure is multi-functional - the "concrete" of the bone family of materials.
A comparison of the elastic and ultimate properties of parallel arrays of lamellar units formed in primary bone, with cylindrically shaped osteonal structures in secondary formed bone, shows that most of the intrinsic mechanical properties are built into the lamellar structure.

In a semi-crystalline polymer, the crystalline lamellar regions are bridged together by inter-lamellar amorphous layers, which act as a loading transfer medium.
In this work we adopted a continuous mechanic approach (neglecting atomic/molecular interactions) of the lamellar deformation of semi-crystalline polymers in the sense that we simulated the mechanical response of a lamellar structure (two lamellae interconnected by amorphous regions) in a finite element analysis.
The thickness of the crystalline lamellae is evidenced as the most significant factor affecting the tensile response of the lamellar structure, followed by the mechanical behaviour of the amorphous phase.

 Plasticity
Lamellar structures consisting of lamellae of differing slip occur at the later stages of deformation.
The non-positivity may arise either due to the non-positivity of some hardening coefficients or in the case of double or multi slip due to anisotropy of the hardening matrix.
Three types of microstructure are analyzed: a vein (tangle) dipolar structure in metal crystals deformed by single slip, a lamellar structure in the case of single slip formed by shear or kink bands, and a lamellar structure in the case of double slip formed by misoriented cells.

It is found that the formation and evolution of the lamellar structure are predominantly controlled by the minimization of the elastic energy of the interfaces between the different fcc stacking groups, low-symmetry product phase gamma and the high-symmetry alpha-phase, as well as between the various orientation variants of the product phase.
In this explanation, the size at which the maximum occurs is related to the structure of the void space of the water; at the mobility maximum, the diffusant passes smoothly through necks connecting voids, and its potential energy shows minimum fluctuations.

 HOPG - Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite - SPI Supplies
Graphite in general and HOPG in particular are described as consisting of a lamellar structure, like mica, molybdenum disulfide and other layered materials that are composed of stacked planes.
All of these examples of lamellar structures have much stronger forces within the lateral planes than between the planes, thus explaining the characteristic cleaving properties of all of these materials.
The structure is strictly columnar, that is, the columns run vertically within the flat slab of the material.

DMS-cream has a lamellar structure, similar to the natural lipid barrier structure of skin (illustration 1), unlike conventional o/w- and w/o-emulsions.
The production of this lamellar structure is based on a special hightech-production procedure, employing high-grade and cost-intensive ingredients.
In a study comprising 20 female participants between the ages of 25 and 58 years a comparison was made between the reaction of the new preparation with derma-membrane structure and conventional topical preparations relating to important physiological skin parameters.

 Met and Mat Trans Abstracts A: March 1998
Long-term exposure at high temperatures has been used to assess the thermal stability of some of the structures generated through the different processing routes, and it has been found that the (gamma and alpha 2) lamellar structures, in some of the alloys, are unstable at 700°C, a likely operating temperature.
For the 0.4 to 1.4 pct C alloys, the carbide spacing was sufficient to determine erosion rate, whereas, for the 0.2 pct C alloys, ferrite grain size became the controlling structure.

 OhioLINK ETD: Meisenkothen, Frederick
A transformation mechanism from the supersaturated alpha2 to the ultra-fine lamellar structure, via nucleation and glide of dislocation loops is proposed.
Consideration is also given to the question of whether or not these ultra-fine lamellar structures can aid slip transmission between the two phases.
The gettering of interstitial contaminants, by the alpha2 laths in fully lamellar TiAl based alloys, has been shown to be responsible for the enhanced slip activity observed in the gamma laths of these alloys.

Lamellar metal powders are produced by means of a dry working process using atomized powder as raw material.
The manufacture of lamellar powders is not a mere milling but a sophisticated, high-tech conversion/reshaping process.
Hence, the manufacture of copper or aluminium powders of lamellar structure from powders of nonlamellar structure is considered to be a substantial transformation.

 FUNDAMENTALS OF GAMMA TITANIUM ALUMINIDES: II: Phase Transformations and Microstructure Evolution
Recent work has suggested that near-fully lamellar or fully-lamellar microstructures may provide attractive combinations of room and elevated temperature properties in near-gamma titanium aluminide alloys.
2 lamellae is one of the critical first steps that triggers instability and continuous coarsening of the overall lamellar structure during aging or creep.
It's found in the cast Ti-46.5Al-2.5V-1.0Cr (at%) ingot, that the discontinuous coarsening (DC) dominates the decomposition of the lamellar structure when annealing at temperatures lower than 1273K while the continuous coarsening (CC) does at the temperature between 1373K and 1473K.
