Previous issue date: 2014-08-01 / CNPq / Capes / As Ligas com Memória de Forma (LMF) são um importante grupo de materiais
metálicos ativos que respondem a estímulos termomecânicos por meio dos
fenômenos do Efeito Memória de Forma (EMF) e da Superelasticidade (SE). Ambos
os efeitos permitem recuperar grandes níveis deformações por meio de
aquecimento, no primeiro caso, ou do descarregamento mecânico, no segundo. As
LMF de NiTi são facilmente encontradas no mercado médico e odontológico em
forma de ferramentas e acessórios para tratamentos específicos. Um destes
elementos são minimolas helicoidais ortodônticas de NiTi, que alcançam
deformações algumas centenas de vezes maiores que elementos unidimensionais
de LMF, como fios. Por outro lado, é de amplo conhecimento que uma técnica
adequada para manipular propriedades mecânicas de produtos metálicos acabados,
além de variar-se a configuração geométrica, é a realização de tratamentos térmicos
de recozimento. Principalmente após a realização de trabalho a frio, os recozimentos
são capazes de recuperar parcial ou totalmente a mobilidade atômica no metal, o
que, no caso das LMF, afeta diretamente o seu comportamento termomecânico.
Neste contexto, o principal objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a influência de
tratamentos térmicos de recozimento sobre a resposta termomecânica de minimolas
de LMF NiTi, originalmente superelásticas. Um planejamento fatorial foi usado para
avaliar a influência das variáveis temperatura e tempo de recozimento sobre
algumas das principais propriedades termomecânicas das minimolas: constante de
mola (rigidez), módulo de elasticidade transversal, capacidade de dissipação de
energia, temperaturas de transformação, histere térmica e a entalpia de
transformação. Foi demonstrado que tratamentos térmicos a temperaturas na faixa
de 500 oC a 600 oC são capazes de converter as minimolas de LMF NiTi do estado
superelástico para o estado de atuador, pelo aparecimento do efeito memória de
forma. / Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are an important group of metallic active
materials that respond to thermomechanical stimuli through the Shape Memory
Effect (SME) or the Superelasticity (SE) phenomena. Both these effects are capable
of retrieving large amounts of strain by simple heating, in the former case, or simple
mechanical unload, in the latest case. The SMA of the NiTi family composition exhibit
superior properties when compared to other compositions, including biocompability,
what brings this alloy to be widely used in medical and orthodontic fields in the form
of tools and accessories to specific treatments. As an example, mini coil springs of
NiTi SMA presenting superelasticity reach strain levels hundreds of times higher than
one-dimensional elements, such as wires. However, a more suitable technique to
manipulate mechanical properties of metallic finished products is the use of heat
treatments like annealing. Mainly after experiencing cold working processes,
annealing treatments are capable of partially or totally recover the atomic mobility,
witch directly affects thermomechanical response of SMA. In this context, this
dissertation work aims to study the influence of annealing heat treatments over
thermomechanical behavior of SMA NiTi mini coil springs originally presenting the
SE. A factorial design was used to evaluate the influence of temperature and time of
annealing over some of the main thermomechanical springs’ properties: spring
constant (stiffness), shear modulus, energy dissipation capacity, phase
transformation temperatures, thermal hysteresis and transformation enthalpy
availability. It was demonstrated that heat treatments between 500°C and 600°C are
capable of converting the superelastic state of the mini coil springs to an actuator
state, as a result of the shape memory effect appearance.

Estudo teórico e numérico de modelos constitutivos de ligas com memória de forma e associação com sistemas vibratórios / Theoretical and numerical study of constitutive models of shape memory alloys and their association to vibrating systemsPinto, Aurélio Alves 29 April 2011 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In recent times, much research effort has been undertaken aiming at the development of the so-called
smart materials, understood as those that exhibit coupling between two or more physical domains in
such a way that, when stimulated externally, they undergo controlled variations of some of their
properties, such as viscosity, stiffness, volume or electrical conductivity. The degree of maturity of the
technology of smart materials and structures is confirmed by numerous examples of applications
found in industrial products. The present work is dedicated to the study of shape memory alloys, which
are considered as being some of the most promising smart materials in terms of potentiality for
industrial innovation. Those materials present the capacity of, once submitted to external loads,
recovering their original form and dimensions through the application of thermal cycles or by removing
the load. This behavior is due to two effects exhibited by those materials: shape memory and
pseudoelasticity. The present dissertation reports the study carried-out by the author concerning some
of the most relevant constitutive models intended for the description of the thermomechanical behavior
of shape memory alloys, based on assumed transformation kinetics and on internal variables with
constraints. The understanding of such models is considered to be essential for the development of
modeling procedures of intelligent devices. After the description of the potentiality of applications of
the shape memory alloys in the context of the smart material and structures technology and the
assessment of the most relevant phenomenological aspects, specially the underlying phase
transformations, the formulations of some constitutive models, chosen among those considered to be
the most representative ones, are described, namely: models with assumed transformation kinetics
(Tanaka, Liang-Rogers, Brinson, and Boyd-Lagoudas models) and models based on internal
variables with constraints (modified Fremond and Savi and coauthors models). Numerical simulations
are carried-out with the aim of evaluating the main features of the models considered and validating
the numerical implementations by comparisons with results extracted from the literature. Afterwards,
the analytical developments and numerical simulations regarding the incorporation of the Liang-
Rogers model in a single-degree-of-freedom vibrating system are presented, enabling to evaluate the
interest in using shape memory alloys for the purpose of vibration control. The study reported herein
has been developed in the context of the National Institute of Science and Technology of Smart
Structures in Engineering, leaded by the Structural Mechanics Laboratory Prof. J.E.T. Reis, of the
School of Mechanical Engineering of the Federal University of Uberlândia, which is dedicated to the
study of the foundations and applications of intelligent materials to various problems of engineering as
well as to multidisciplinary problems. / Ultimamente tem-se investido grande esforço em pesquisas com vistas ao desenvolvimento dos
chamados materiais inteligentes, entendidos como aqueles que exibem acoplamento de dois ou mais
domínios físicos, de modo que, quando externamente estimulados, sofrem alterações controladas de
algumas propriedades como a viscosidade, volume, rigidez, resistência elétrica e condutividade. O
grau de amadurecimento da tecnologia de materiais e estruturas inteligentes é comprovado pela
existência de numerosos exemplos de utilização em produtos industriais. O presente trabalho é
dedicado ao estudo das ligas com memória de forma (shape memory alloys), que são considerados
como um dos materiais inteligentes mais promissores no tocante às inovações industriais. Trata-se de
materiais que possuem a capacidade de, uma vez submetidos a cargas externas, recuperar sua
forma e dimensões originais quando sujeitos a ciclos térmicos apropriados ou quando o carregamento
é retirado. Esses materiais apresentam duas propriedades especiais que os diferenciam dos outros
materiais, a memória de forma, propriamente dita, e a pseudoelasticidade. O presente memorial
reporta o estudo desenvolvido pelo autor acerca de alguns dos principais modelos constitutivos que
foram desenvolvidos para a representação do comportamento termomecânico de materiais com
memória de forma. A compreensão destes modelos é essencial para o desenvolvimento de
procedimentos de modelagem de dispositivos inteligentes. Após a descrição das potencialidades de
aplicação no contexto da tecnologia de estruturas inteligentes e da fenomenologia subjacente ao
comportamento das ligas com memória de forma, notadamente as transformações de fase austenitamartensita,
apresentam-se as formulações de alguns modelos constitutivos, selecionados dentre
aqueles considerados os mais representativos, incluídos em duas categorias distintas, a saber:
modelos com cinética de transformação assumida (modelos de Tanaka, de Liang-Rogers, de Brinson,
e de Boyd-Lagoudas) e modelos baseados em variáveis internas (modelos de Fremond modificado e
de Savi e colaboradores). Em seguida, são apresentados resultados de simulações numéricas
realizadas com o objetivo de avaliar as principais características dos modelos estudados e validar as
implementações realizadas mediante confrontação com resultados extraídos da literatura. Por fim,
são apresentados os desenvolvimentos analíticos e simulações numéricas realizadas para
incorporação do modelo de Liang-Rogers em um sistema vibratório de um grau de liberdade, que
permitiu comprovar o potencial de utilização dos materiais com memória de forma para o controle de
vibrações. O estudo realizado se insere nas atividades desenvolvidas no âmbito do Instituto Nacional

Nukleation und Wachstum des adaptiven Martensits in epitaktischen Schichten der Formgedächtnislegierung Ni-Mn-GaNiemann, Robert Ingo 21 October 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Magnetische Formgedächtnislegierungen sind Festkörper, die eine Phasenumwandlung erster Ordnung von einer hochsymmetrischen Phase (Austenit) zu einer niedersymmetrischen Phase (Martensit) durchlaufen. Dies kann in der Nähe von Raumtemperatur stattfinden und sowohl durch Temperaturänderung, als auch durch äußere Magnetfelder, mechanische Spannungen oder hydrostatischen Druck induziert werden. Daraus ergeben sich funktionale Eigenschaften, wie der magnetokalorische und der elastokalorische Effekt, eine magnetfeldinduzierte Dehnung und ein großer Magnetowiderstand. Zwillingsgrenzen im Martensit können durch äußere Magnetfelder bewegt werden, was zu großen reversiblen Längenänderungen führt. Der Ablauf der Phasenumwandlung und das Gefüge des Martensits werden dabei durch die elastischen Randbedingungen an der Phasengrenze bestimmt.
In dieser Arbeit werden deshalb die Nukleation und das Wachstum des Martensits untersucht. Als Modellsystem werden epitaktische Schichten der Heuslerlegierung Ni-Mn-Ga verwendet. In der martensitischen Phase weist diese Legierung eine modulierte Kristallstruktur auf, die im Konzept des adaptiven Martensits durch eine Verzwillingung auf der atomaren Skala interpretiert werden kann.
Im ersten Teil wird mit Röntgenbeugung die modulierte Struktur untersucht. Die Intensität der Überstrukturreflexe wird mit einer kinematischen Beugungssimulation verglichen. Dabei wird nachgewiesen, dass es sich um ein nanoverzwillingtes Gefüge mit einer hohen Dichte an Stapelfehlern handelt.
Im zweiten Teil wird das martensitische Gefüge mit Elektronenbeugung im Rasterelektronenmikroskop und Texturmessungen durch Röntgenbeugung untersucht. Das martensitische Gefüge kann im Rahmen der phänomenologischen Martensittheorie quantitativ erklärt werden.
Daraus ergibt sich ein geometrisches Modell des martensitischen Nukleus und seiner Wachstumsstadien. Die Phasenumwandlung wird temperaturabhängig im Elektronen- und im Atomkraftmikroskop untersucht und mit dem geometrischen Modell verglichen. Die begrenzte Gültigkeit des geometrischen Modells an makroskopischen Zwillingsgrenzen und an der Grenzfläche zum Schichtsubstrat werden diskutiert. Schließlich kann die Bildung des gesamten hierarchischen Zwillingsgefüges erklärt werden.
Im dritten Teil wird die Energiebarriere der Nukleation untersucht. Da die Umwandlung bei konstanter Temperatur abläuft, wird geschlussfolgert, dass Autonukleationsprozesse zu einer starken Verringerung der Nukleationsbarrieren führen. Schließlich wird gezeigt, dass durch Nanoindentation die Nukleation gezielt beeinflusst werden kann. / Magnetic shape memory alloys are solids that undergo a first order phase transition from a high symmetry phase (austenite) into a low symmetry phase (martensite). This can happen close to room temperature and can be induced by changes of temperature, external magnetic fields, mechanical stresses or hydrostatic pressure. This leads to functional properties like the magnetocaloric and elastocaloric effect, a magnetic-field-induced strain and giant magnetoresistance. Twin boundaries in the martensite can be moved by external magnetic fields, which leads to giant reversible length changes. The process of the phase transition and the microstructure of martensite are determined by the elastic boundary conditions at the phase interface.
In this work, nucleation and growth of the martensite are studied. Epitaxial films of the Heusler alloy Ni-Mn-Ga are used as a model system. This alloy exhibits a modulated crystal structure which is interpreted as twinning on the atomic scale in the framework of adaptive martensite.
In the first part, the modulated structure is studied by X-ray diffraction. The intensity of the superstructure is compared to a kinematic diffraction simulation and it is shown that it is a nanotwinned microstructure with a high density of stacking faults.
In the seond part, the martensitic microstructure is studied by electron diffraction in the scanning electron microscope and by texture measurements using X-ray diffraction. The martensitic microstructure can be explained quantitatively in the framework of the phenomenological theory of martensite.
This leads to a geometrical model of the martensitic nucleus and its growth stages. The phase transformation is studied as a function of temperature in the scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope and is compared to the geometric model. The limits of the geometrical model at macroscopic twin boundaries and at interfaces to the substrate are discussed. Finally, the formation of the entire twin microstructure can be explained.
In the third part, the energy barrier of nucleation is studied. The transformation is isothermal which leads to the conclusion that autonucleation processes decrease the nucleation barrier significantly. Finally, the influence of nanoindentation on the nucleation is shown.

Conception et analyse d'un robot flexible à rigidité active au moyen d'un alliage à mémoire de forme / Design and analysis of a compliant robot with active stiffness by means of shape memory alloyMekaouche, Adel 08 March 2016 (has links)
La rigidité est un des objectifs de performance les plus importants pris en compte lors de la conception de systèmes robotiques. Le contrôle de la raideur physique en cours de tâche est une problématique scientifique en plein essor dans le cadre de la conception innovante de robots à forte polyvalence. L’association d’une structure robotique compliante et d’un composant en alliage à mémoire de forme (AMF) est réalisée dans le but d’obtenir des cartes de compliance variables dans le temps sur un même espace de travail. Les AMF sont en effet des matériaux actifs qui possèdent des caractéristiques comportementales pouvant être exploitées dans cette application. La structure considérée pour l’étude n’a pas de degré de liberté interne mais sa déformation permet de créer un pseudo-espace de travail. Celui-ci diffère selon l’état activé/non-activé de l’AMF. L’intersection des deux espaces obtenus représente alors les positions de l’effecteur où il est possible d’avoir des valeurs de compliance différentes. Les cartes obtenues montrent des caractéristiques intéressantes pour la perspective de la conception de robots polyvalents ayant une nouvelle forme de reconfigurabilité basée sur le changement de propriétés matérielles. / The rigidity is one of the most important performance targets which is taken into account for the design of robotic systems. The control of the physical stiffness during industrial tasks is a scientific issue which is rapidly expanding in the context of the innovative design of highly polyvalent robots. The combination of a compliant robotic structure and a shape memory alloy (SMA) component is carried out in the aim of obtaining variable compliance maps over time and in the same workspace. SMAs are actually active materials with specific thermomechanical properties which can be used in this application. The considered structure has no internal degree of freedom, but the deformation of the arms allows the creation of a “Pseudo-Workspace” (PWS). This PWS varies as a function of the activated/non-activated state of the SMA component. The intersection of the two obtained PWSs represents the effector’s positions where it is possible to have different compliance values. Generated maps show interesting characteristics in the perspective of the design of polyvalent robots based on a new type of reconfigurability (change of material properties).

One Dimensional Transport And Prospects Of Structural Transitions In Ultrathin Metallic WiresChandni, U 09 1900 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis reports transport in ultrathin single crystalline nanowires of gold (∼ 2nm). These nanowires were fabricated using an oriented attachment process whereby nanoparticles of appropriate dimensions join in a linear fashion to form long and stable wires. The main motivation was to study the role of electron-electron interactions on the transport mechanism in case of a metallic system, as one approaches dimensions closer to the Fermi wavelength. The study forms the first of its kind in a simple metallic system of this dimension.
Indeed, several new features have been obtained in this regard: Chapter 4 reports a breakdown of Fermi liquid state in such a system opening up possibilities of exotic states constituted by a strongly correlated Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. We report consistent scaling of current-voltage curves, characteristic of such a phase and even resonant tunneling in such structures. The study reports the first observation of a correlated electron liquid in a metal, which has been observed only in semiconductors and polymer wires till date. Chapter 5 discusses the possibility of tuning the transport mechanism in these wires via a controlled change in the growth process. We show that using appropriate growth mechanisms, we can have a localized ground state as well, where variable range hopping is the dominant transport mechanism. Possibility of structural transitions in ultrathin wires is a field that has garnered considerable interest due to simulations. We present a highly sensitive tool in the form of electrical noise and its higher order statistics that can act as a detector of structural transitions. This has been thoroughly studied in case of conventional shape memory systems in Chapter 6. Preliminary noise studies on the nanowires have been reported in Chapter 7.

Mesures de champs hétérogènes dans un alliage à mémoire de forme de Nickel-Titane sous sollicitations dynamiques / Heterogeneous fiels measurements in a NiTi shape memory alloy under dynamic loadingsSaletti, Dominique 02 December 2011 (has links)
Les alliages à mémoire de forme (AMF) font partie des matériaux qui ont besoin d'une caractérisation de leur comportement sous sollicitations dynamiques afin de pouvoir être intégrés dans des solutions de conception de structures prévues pour l'absorption d'énergie ou pour subir de grandes déformations à des régimes de vitesses équivalents à des impacts. Même si les phénomènes mis en jeu dans ce type de matériau commencent à être maîtrisés, la caractérisation de leur comportement en dynamique est un point qui nécessite encore beaucoup d'études d'approfondissement. Leurs propriétés singulières et leur bonne capacité d'absorption d'énergie font d'eux de bons candidats à l'application dans des technologies innovantes et motivent la poursuite de leur étude. Ces travaux de thèse présentés dans ce manuscrit portent sur un AMF à base de Nickel-Titane (NiTi).Les deux propriétés singulières principales des AMF sont la superélasticité (ou pseudo-élasticité) et l'effet mémoire. La propriété sur laquelle cette étude se concentre est la superélasticité : celle-ci correspond à une transformation martensitique activée par une sollicitation mécanique.Afin de pouvoir caractériser le NiTi pour des applications soumises à des impacts ou à des sollicitations dynamiques, il est nécessaire de pouvoir, dans un premier temps, observer la transformation martensitique pour ces régimes et de tenir compte de ces résultats pour l'élaboration de lois de comportement.Ces travaux de thèse, essentiellement expérimentaux, s'inscrivent dans la mise en place d'un projet visant à pouvoir prédire le comportement des alliages à mémoire de forme soumis à des sollicitations dynamiques multiaxiales et sont centrés sur trois thèmes : les AMF, les essais de traction dynamique, la corrélation d'image pour les essais aux barres de Hopkinson et pour la mesure de la transformation martensitique des AMF. / The specific properties of the shape memory alloys are mainly due to the martensitic transformation occuring in the material turning the austenitic phase into a stress-induced martensitic phase when mechanical or thermal loadings are applied. This study focus on pseudoelasticity which allows SMAs to recover their initial state after undergoing large deformation. when a mechanical load is experienced.This study is focused on the behavior of SMAs under dynamic loading. Several experimental methods were developped : a Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar (SHTB) was set up and digital image correlation (DIC) was adapted to this case and allows us to measure heterogeneous strain fields on the surface specimen due to martensitic transformation.This work present a lot of experimental results and aim at helping researchers to develop behaviour models of SMAs for dynamic loading. The DIC was also adapted to fast imaging measure and Hopkinson bar tests, providing complementary results to the forces and velocities obtained with the bars.

Modeling of High Strain Rate Compression of Austenitic Shape Memory AlloysYu, Hao 12 1900 (has links)
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit the ability to absorb large dynamic loads and, therefore, are excellent candidates for structural components where impact loading is expected. Compared to the large amount of research on the shape memory effect and/or pseudoelasticity of polycrystalline SMAs under quasi-static loading conditions, studies on dynamic loading are limited. Experimental research shows an apparent difference between the quasi-static and high strain rate deformation of SMAs. Research reveals that the martensitic phase transformation is strain rate sensitive. The mechanism for the martensitic phase transformation in SMAs during high strain rate deformation is still unclear. Many of the existing high strain rate models assume that the latent heat generated during deformation contributes to the change in the stress-strain behavior during dynamic loading, which is insufficient to explain the large stress observed during phase transformation under high strain rate deformation. Meanwhile, the relationship between the phase front velocity and strain rate has been studied. In this dissertation, a new resistance to phase transformation during high strain rate deformation is discussed and the relationship between the driving force for phase transformation and phase front velocity is established. With consideration of the newly defined resistance to phase transformation, a new model for phase transformation of SMAs during high strain rate deformation is presented and validated based on experimental results from an austenitic NiTi SMA. Stress, strain, and martensitic volume fraction distribution during high strain rate deformation are simulated using finite element analysis software ABAQUS/standard. For the first time, this dissertation presents a theoretical study of the microscopic band structure during high strain rate compressive deformation. The microscopic transformation band is generated by the phase front and leads to minor fluctuations in sample deformation. The strain rate effect on phase transformation is studied using the model. Both the starting stress for transformation and the slope of the stress-strain curve during phase transformation increase with increasing strain rate.

EXPLORING THE TUNABILITY OF MARTENSITIC TRANSFORMATION IN SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS VIA COHERENT SECOND PHASEShivam Tripathi (11516983) 20 December 2021 (has links)
<p>Shape memory alloys (SMAs) belong to an important class of active materials. Beyond shape memory, these alloys exhibit super-elasticity and pseudo-plasticity, all originating from a reversible phase transformation from a high-temperature austenitic phase to a low temperature martensitic phase. Their unique thermo-mechanical properties make these SMAs desirable for a wide range of applications in automobiles, robotics, aerospace, construction, and medicine. Only a fraction of the known metallic alloys exhibits martensitic transformations, and a relatively small subset exhibits shape memory. Given this limited pool of SMAs, tunability of this martensitic transformation and, hence, thermo-mechanical properties is a way to move forward for effectively designing the next-generation SMAs for specific applications. The modification in composition has always been at the heart of designing new SMAs for future applications. However, a relatively recent discovery of incorporating a second non-transforming phase in base martensitic materials to tune martensitic transformation to achieve unprecedented thermo-mechanical properties has shown great promise.</p><p><br></p><p>The objective of this work is to utilize the second phase to provide design guidelines for next-generation SMAs and to understand the detailed physics behind the experimentally observed unprecedented thermo-mechanical properties in SMAs as a result of the incorporation of coherent second phases. We first investigate Mg-Sc shape memory alloys that are attractive for a wide range of applications due to their low density. Unfortunately, the use of these alloys is hindered by a low martensitic transformation temperature (173 K). We observe from first-principles calculations that epitaxial strains arising from appropriate substrate or coherent second phase selection increase the martensitic transformation and operational temperature to room temperature. Next, we develop a novel approach to induce martensitic transformation in composite systems of two non-transforming materials. While we demonstrate this approach for the technologically relevant ultra-lightweight Mg/MgLi superlattices, however, our approach is general and will open a wide material space for the discovery and design of next-generation SMAs.</p><p><br></p><p>Finally, to bridge the gap between computationally studied single-crystalline materials and experimentally studied polycrystalline systems, we characterize the role of nanoscale precipitates on temperature- and stress-induced martensitic phase transformation in nanocrystalline Ni63Al37 SMAs using multi-million-atoms molecular dynamics simulations. Simulations provide the understanding of underlying atomistic mechanisms of experimentally observed unprecedented thermo-mechanical properties and the guidelines to design low-fatigue ultra-fine grain shape memory alloys. As a result of the exploration of novel thermomechanical properties in SMAs via coherent second phases, we also published a software package</p><p>to discover coherent precipitates within a base multi-component system by coupling highthroughput equilibrium thermodynamics calculations with strain-based lattice matching.</p>

Počítačové modelování hranic dvojčatění ve slitinách s tvarovou pamětí / Computer modeling of twin-boundaries in shape memory alloysHeczko, Martin January 2020 (has links)
This Master‘s thesis is focused on theoretical study of twinning in magnetic shape memory alloys based on Ni2MnGa using ab initio calculations of electronic structure within the projector augmented wave method. In particular, the effect of increasing concentration of manganese at the expense of gallium was studied on total energy and stress profiles along different deformation paths in the (10-1)[101] shear system of non-modulated martensite. Further, this work deals with the effect of the concentration of manganese on the energy of planar fault caused by presence of partial dislocation due to motion of twin boundary. The results show that the shear modulus in studied shear system increases with the increasing concentration of manganese as well as energy barrier and deformation characteristics along shear deformation paths increases, which makes the shear more difficult in Mn-rich alloys. Increasing concentration of manganese also leads to rising the planar fault energy. All these effects can be responsible for lower mobility of twin boundaries in alloys with higher concentration of manganese.
