Fracture Toughness of an Al-Li-Cu-In Alloy 92
Authors:  John A. Wagner; Richard P. Gangloff; NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION HAMPTON VA LANGLEY RESEARCH CEN TER
The full text of this report is not available and therefore is not for sale. This information is provided for reference purposes only.Al-Li-Cu alloys were studied for both fracture toughness and crack initiation and growth. Mechanical properties of aa2090-T81 and an indium enhanced aa2090-T6 were examined. The effects of indium addition were investigated. Processing was studied to eliminate variations in microstructure. Explanations for observed behavior are given.


The Effect of Copper, Chromium, and Zirconium on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu Alloys 91
Authors:  John A. Wagner; R. N. Shenoy; NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION HAMPTON VA LANGLEY RESEARCH CEN TER
The full text of this report is not available and therefore is not for sale. This information is provided for reference purposes only.The effect of systematic variation of copper, chromium, and zirconium contents on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 7000-type aluminum alloy was evaluated; ingots with 1.5, 2.0. and 2.5 wt pct copper were cast with either 0.1 pct Zr or 0.20 pct Cr; fracture toughness and tensile properties were evaluated for each alloy in both the peak aging, T8, and the overaging, T73, conditions; results showed that dimpled rupture essentially ...


Retinal Derived Growth Factor: A Regulator of Neural Regeneration and Revascularization in Wound Healing 01 DEC 89 8 pages
Authors:  John A. Wagner; DANA-FARBER CANCER INST BOSTON MA
The full text of this report is available for sale.Retinal Derived Growth Factor (a heparin binding growth factor that is identical to aFGF (acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor)) stimulates neurite outgrowth in vitro. We have established a model system that will allow us to determine if a gradient of FGF can cause nerve regeneration in vivo and that this regeneration is predominantly due to increased neurite outgrowth by sensory nerves. Keywords: Acidic fibroblast growth factor; Retina derived growth factor; Nerve ...


Age Hardening Characteristics and Mechanical Behavior of Al-Cu-Li-Zr-In Alloys 89
Authors:  John A. Wagner; NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION HAMPTON VA LANGLEY RESEARCH CEN TER
The full text of this report is not available and therefore is not for sale. This information is provided for reference purposes only.An investigation was conducted to determine the age hardening response and cryogenic mechanical properties of superplastic Al-Cu-Li-Zr-In alloys; two alloys with compositions Al-2.65Cu-2.17Li-0.13Zr (baseline) and Al- 2.60Cu-2.34Li-0.16Zr-0.17In were scaled up from 30 lb. permanent mold ingots to 350 lb. DC (direct chill) ingots and thermomechanically processed to 3.2 mm thick sheet; the microstructure of material which contained the indium addition was partially recrystallized compared to baseline alloy when solution heat ...


Retinal Derived Growth Factor: A Regulator of Neural Regeneration and Revascularization in Wound Healing 22 DEC 87 14 pages
Authors:  John A. Wagner; DANA-FARBER CANCER INST BOSTON MA
The full text of this report is available for sale.Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor (aFGF), which is identical to Retina Derived Growth Factor (RDGF), is a growth factor that stimulates neural differentiation and the formation of neurites. Work performed under this contract is determining if a gradient of aFGF can stimulate neurites growth in the direction of increasing aFGF concentrations. Preliminary experiments establishing conditions for a slow release of aFGF over a period of several days to create such a ...


Research in Seismology: Earthquake Magnitudes. 11 OCT 1976
Authors:  Otto W. Nuttli; So Gu Kim; Huei-Yuin Wen; John A. Wagner; SAINT LOUIS UNIV MO DEPT OF EARTH AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES
The full text of this report is not available and therefore is not for sale. This information is provided for reference purposes only.This report presents results of a search for earthquakes in Eurasia that have anomalous ratios of body-wave magnitude to surface-wave magnitude values. Results of a study of mainshock-aftershock sequences are also provided. Earthquakes occurring along the plate margin of Eurasia were found to be non-anomalous. Anomalous earthquakes are confined to the continental interior, with about 18% of the intraplate earthquakes studied having anomalous (m sub b): (M sub S) values; ...
