A versatile atomic force microscope integrated with a scanning electron microscope
A versatile atomic force microscope (AFM), which can be installed in a scanning electron microscope (SEM), is introduced. The flexible design of the instrument enables correlated analysis for different experimental configurations, such as AFM imaging direc ...
2017Full-Scale Cyclic Testing of Deep Slender Wide-Flange Steel Beam-Columns under Unidirectional and Bidirectional Lateral Drift Demands
Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady
Deep and slender wide-flange steel beam-columns are commonly used in steel special moment frames (SMFs) in North America. These sections provide large moment-of-inertia required to satisfy the design code’s drift limits while keeping the column steel weigh ...

Elsevier Science Sa2016Evaluation of Young's modulus of MgB2 filaments in composite wires for the superconducting links for the high-luminosity LHC upgrade
MgB2 wire is a promising superconductor for the superconducting links for the high-luminosity upgrade of the large Hadron collider at CERN. The mechanical properties of MgB2 must be fully quantified for the cable design, and in this study, we evaluate the ...
Institute of Physics2016Hardness and microstructural variation of Al-Mg-Mn-Sc-Zr alloy
Variations of Vickers hardness were observed in Al-Mg-Mn alloy and Al-Mg-Mn-Sc-Zr alloy at different ageing times, ranging from a peak value of 81.2 HV at 54 ks down to 67.4 HV at 360 ks, below the initial hardness value, 71.8 HV at 0 ks for the case of Al ...

Jean-Marie Drezet, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Denis Carron
Solutionizing and quenching are the key steps in the fabrication of heat-treatable aluminum parts such as AA2618 compressor impellers for turbochargers as they highly impact the mechanical characteristics of the product. In particular, quenching induces re ...

Alessandro Spadoni, Florian Paul Robert Maurin
Periodic buckled beams possess a geometrically nonlinear, load-deformation relationship and intrinsic length scales such that stable, nonlinear waves are possible. Modeling buckled beams as a chain of masses and nonlinear springs which account for transver ...
Elsevier Science Bv2016Improved hardness results for unique shortest vector problem
The unique shortest vector problem on a rational lattice is the problem of finding the shortest non-zero vector under the promise that it is unique (up to multiplication by -1). We give several incremental improvements on the known hardness of the unique s ...
Elsevier2016Évolution microstructurale et propriétés mécaniques d'un alliage Co-Ni-Cr
This study concerns the evolution of the thermomechanical properties of new high-performance materials. In particular, we focus on the relationship between the microstructure and the mechanical properties of a superalloy based on Co-Ni-Cr. Superalloys are ...
EPFL2016Secondary hardening in Co-Ni-Cr super-alloy investigated by Mechanical Spectroscopy
Daniele Mari, Raffaele Cosimati
The effects of thermal treatments on a Co-Ni-Cr super-alloy in the temperature range from 250 degrees C to 900 degrees C, resulting in secondary hardening, have been studied by Mechanical Spectroscopy. The simultaneous evolution of the internal friction sp ...
