Products of in situ corrosion of depleted uranium ammunition in Bosnia and Herzegovina soils

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Yuheng Wang, Konstantin von Gunten

Hundreds of tons of depleted uranium (DU) ammunition were used in previous armed conflicts in Iraq, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia/Kosovo. The majority (>90%) of DU penetrators miss their target and, if left in the environment, corrode in these postcon ...

Tribocorrosion of passive metals in the mixed lubrication regime: theoretical model and application to metal-on-metal artificial hip joints

Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

Wear is a key problem limiting the lifetime and performance of total hip arthroplasty. The synovial fluid, acting as lubricant, can alleviate the wear of implants but also introduces corrosion. The interaction of mechanical wear and electrochemical corrosi ...

Influence of Zinc Anisotropy on Solidification Microstructures: Experimental Results and Phase-Field Simulations

Alexandre Durussel

Due to a distortion of its hexagonal unit cell along the c-axis compared to hexagonal-close-packed metals (c/a = 1.856 instead of 1.633), zinc is characterised by a large anisotropy of its solid-liquid interfacial energy. While previous studies have focuse ...

Determination of minimum CFRP pre-stress levels for fatigue crack prevention in retrofitted metallic beams

Alain Nussbaumer, Gary Scott Prinz, Andrin Herwig, Elyas Ghafoori

The majority of fatigue strengthening studies focus on reducing propagation rates of existing cracks, ignoring the crack initiation stage. Many existing metallic bridge members however do not contain existing cracks, but rather are nearing their design fat ...
