Alloy development of a new platinum-based bulk metallic glass

Hamed Kazemi

The aim of the present thesis is the development of a new Pt-based bulk metallic glass based on the ternary system of Pt-B-Si that i) complies with the hallmarking standard Pt 850 (i.e. with at least 85 wt.-pct of Pt); ii) provides high hardness (HV>600) a ...

A versatile atomic force microscope integrated with a scanning electron microscope

Georg Fantner

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 ...

Hardness and microstructural variation of Al-Mg-Mn-Sc-Zr alloy

Pierre Burdet

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 ...

Nanoindentation of Functionally Graded Polymer Nanocomposites: Assessment of the Strengthening Parameters through Experiments and Modeling

Yves Leterrier, Ayat Karimi, Tommaso Nardi

Nanoindentation tests were carried out on the surface of polymer nanocomposites exhibiting either graded or homogeneous distributions of Fe3O4@silica core-shell nanoparticles in a photocurable polymeric matrix. The results reveal a complex interplay betwee ...

Preliminary studies on the mechanical behaviour of thick embedded laminated connections

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Laminated glass components are usually realized bonding glass plates by means of interlayer polymers that develop adhesion forces during lamination. Recently, these adhesion forces have been used also to realize adhesive connections for structural glass co ...

A Tight Linear Time (1/2)-Approximation For Unconstrained Submodular Maximization

Moran Feldman

We consider the Unconstrained Submodular Maximization problem in which we are given a nonnegative submodular function f : 2(N) -> R+, and the objective is to find a subset S subset of N maximizing f(S). This is one of the most basic submodular optimization ...

Localized Structures in Indented Shells: A Numerical Investigation

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We present results from a numerical investigation of the localization of deformation in thin elastomeric spherical shells loaded by differently shaped indenters. Beyond a critical indentation, the deformation of the shell ceases to be axisymmetric and shar ...
