Study on the internal crack network of the ASR-affected concrete by the tomography-based numerical model

Jean-François Molinari, Emil Gallyamov, Mahdieh Shakoorioskooie

In this paper, we present a novel finite element model to simulate alkali-silica reaction in a realistic concrete meso-structure. Application of the internal ASR loading leads to the evolution of multiple deviated cracks and corresponding macroscopic expan ...

Luminescent and electronic properties of perovskite solar cells

Brian Irving Carlsen

Perovskite solar cells show great promise to serve as an alternative for traditional silicon-based solar cells, however several problems present obstacles for their commercialization. Standard perovskite cells contain lead, which is toxic to humans and har ...

Mechanics of alkali-silica reaction in concrete across scales

Emil Gallyamov

Alkali-silica reaction occurs in concrete between the alkalis contained in the pore solution and silica in the aggregates. Generation of ASR products gives rise to the internal pressures that cause expansion and cracking. Due to its deleterious effect on c ...

Invariance principles in the theory and computation of transport coefficients

Federico Grasselli

In this work, we elaborate on two recently discovered invariance principles, according to which transport coefficients are, to a large extent, independent of the microscopic definition of the densities and currents of the conserved quantities being transpo ...

Exergy and environmental analysis of black liquor upgrading gasification in an integrated kraft pulp and ammonia production plant

Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego

The black liquor is a byproduct of the kraft pulping process that contains more than half of the exergy content in the total woody biomass fed to the digester, representing a key supply of renewable energy to the pulping process. In this work, the conventi ...

Meso-scale finite element modeling of Alkali-Silica-Reaction

Jean-François Molinari, Emil Gallyamov, Roozbeh Rezakhani

The Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) in concrete is a chemical reaction, which produces an expansive product, generally called “ASR gel”, and causes cracking and damage in concrete over time. Affecting numerous infrastructures all around the world, ASR has bee ...

Effect of collisions on non-adiabatic electron dynamics in ITG-driven microturbulence

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball

Non-adiabatic electron response leads to significant changes in ion temperature gradient (ITG) eigenmodes, leading, in particular, to fine-structures that are significantly extended along the magnetic field lines at corresponding mode rational surfaces (MR ...

The fragmentation mechanism of gold nanoparticles in water under femtosecond laser irradiation

Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Pavel Olshin, Gabriele Bongiovanni, Jonathan Mark Voss, Chengcheng Yan

Plasmonic nanoparticles in aqueous solution have long been known to fragment under irradiation with intense ultrafast laser pulses, creating progeny particles with diameters of a few nanometers. However, the mechanism of this process is still intensely deb ...

Journal of Physics: Conference Series High-pressure specific heat technique to uncover novel states of quantum matter

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Julio Antonio Larrea Jiménez

AC-specific heat measurements remain as the foremost thermodynamic experimental method to underpin phase transitions in tiny samples. However, its performance under combined extreme conditions of high-pressure, very low temperature and intense magnetic fie ...

Which form of the molecular Hamiltonian is the most suitable for simulating the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics at a conical intersection?

Jiri Vanicek, Seonghoon Choi

Choosing an appropriate representation of the molecular Hamiltonian is one of the challenges faced by simulations of the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics around a conical intersection. The adiabatic, exact quasidiabatic, and strictly diabatic representations ...
