Copper and copper alloys typically experience a sharp loss in ductility at intermediate temperature, induced by grain boundary damage and fracture processes. The susceptibility of the material to intermediate temperature embrittlement is, as a result, stro ...
A statistical model for fracture of aligned-whisker-reinforced metals was used to interpret tensile data of a TiB-reinforced titanium alloy. From this analysis, a TiB whisker strength of 8.0 GPa with a Weibull modulus of 2 was predicted. The analysis is co ...
Small dislocation loops formed from self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) are commonly found in irradiated metals. These defects significantly influence the mechanical properties of the materials. Atomistic simulations are used to describe nanometric circular dislo ...
Single-use aluminum foil-based laser desorption/ionization (LDI) target plates have been developed for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis and provide detection results comparable to those of commercial stainless steel plates while offering a convenient way to ...
Two different methods for estimating the corrosion resistance of low alloy stainless steels are compared: critical pitting temperature according to a modified ASTM G150 with a low chloride concentration (0.1M), and pitting potentials from polarisation curv ...
Structural Behaviour of Composite Elements Combining Reinforced Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) and Reinforced Concrete Due to their high strengths, high deformability and low permeability Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced C ...
The formation of feathery grains during semi-continuous casting of Al-alloys [1, 2] is an interesting problem from both practical and theoretical points of view. These structures are formed by a lamellar sequence of twinned and untwinned regions separated ...
The stress field method, which is based on the lower bound theorem of plasticity, provides an unlimited number of solutions allowing to carry the applied loads to the supports for a given structure. This possibility which gives a large freedom to designing ...
Thick-film materials are very advantageous for piezoresistive pressure and force sensors because of ease of processing, reliability and low cost. The standard substrate material used with thick-film technology for sensing is alumina, but its elastic modulu ...
Atomistic simulations are used to describe the ½ screw dislocation in tungsten. Two different embedded atom model (EAM) potentials and one bond-order potential (BOP) are compared. A new analytical approach for constructing asymmetrical screw dislocati ...
